Zhang's mother smiled and said okay, Tianhong told her parents to hurry up and eat, and her parents smiled and said okay, and the family sat down and started eating. Two vegetables and one meat, simple, it is best not to eat leftovers.
After Ren's father and mother returned home at noon, they saw their son's shoes at the door and knew that Qinghai was back.
I hope he wants to open it now, hearing the sound of the door opening, Qinghai hurriedly came out of the kitchen, called his parents with a smile, told them to eat, and brought out all the food.
Mom and Dad smiled and said yes, sat down and started eating, Qinghai showed them the score sheet, and Ren Mom and Dad looked at it together.
While watching and saying yes, Ren's mother said with a smile: "I heard Ye Xiang say that when you were still studying, you wrote a letter to her, and she rejected you, I thought you didn't do well in the exam, but now I'm relieved." ”
Ren's father also smiled and said: "Yes, the test is good, a total of 662 points, did you fill in the school in Qinghai?"
Qinghai immediately said: "I have filled it in, and the ones I filled in today are all key universities, and I will go there for admission to that school." ”
Ren's father and mother smiled and said okay, and the family began to eat, two vegetables and one meat, which tasted good.
While eating, Qinghai talked about the situation of going to Xiao Ming's house and Jixing's family in the countryside, and his parents listened carefully and said with a smile that they did the right thing.
Qinghai also said that after reading it in the future, she was going to apply for a job in the government department, and her parents also said that it was okay and asked her mother to tell Sister Ye Xiang the news, she is now married, and it is inconvenient for him to meet her.
Ren's mother said okay, and after eating, my parents went to work again.
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother are too, Tianhong called Qinghai to come over, Qinghai said okay, and the two of them helped the two cousins make up for the class together.
When the two cousins saw them coming, they said that they missed their cousin and Brother Qinghai. The two wanted to wait until they went to college, and they wouldn't have time to help them make up for their classes.
Xiao Ming, You's mother, and the third sister had lunch, locked the door of the house, and went to the street together to call his father and eldest sister.
After calling several times and finally getting through, Dad You received a call and hurriedly asked what was the matter?
Xiao Ming immediately said: "Dad, today I went to school to write a volunteer, and I scored 665 points in the exam, and I wrote about the key universities. ”
Dad You was a little excited, and asked in disbelief: "What you said is true, that's good, what about your mother?"
Xiao Ming immediately said yes, Xiao Ming gave the phone to You's mother, and You's mother said on the phone that Xiao Ming was admitted this time, and I was afraid that the tuition fee was not enough.
I'll call my eldest brother and see if he can borrow some? You and Xiaolan pay attention to your body, I'm fine at home.
After talking for a while, I hung up the phone, and the family went back again. There is still work to be done at home.
Jixing invited his grandparents and grandfather to his house for dinner, Yu's father and Yu's mother told them, and the three old people smiled and said yes, and they all said that our ancestral tomb was smoking, and blessed Jixing to be admitted to university.
Yu's father and Yu's mother smiled and asked everyone to eat, and the family said while eating, and the meal was eaten until more than one o'clock in the afternoon.
After eating, Jixing washed the dishes, grandparents were going back to work again, Yu's mother sent her grandfather back, called Jixing together, and Dad went to work again.
After the army and the family finished eating, the army helped his parents with the work.
Yibai didn't go to the fitness center for a few days, she and her mother went to her grandmother's house in the countryside, helped her grandmother and them work for ten days, and also helped them dig sweet potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, and collect the grain in the field.
This is the third time that they have helped my grandmother to thresh rice, and my grandmother's family has only planted a field, and my uncle has come to help my grandfather's family after beating their own.
My grandmother took Yibai back to her hometown to work five times, and now Yibai can cut rice and threshk rice.
The first time I went to the field to cut rice, my grandparents didn't let Yibai go, it was Yibai who was just in the first grade of junior high school, and Yibai remembered it very clearly.
Seeing that the adults had gone to the field, Yibai also followed, carrying a small basket on his back, ready to cut some rabbit grass.
The adults all went to the field, looking at the black mud, Yibai felt so dirty, the two feet of the adults stepped on it, and the feet were full of mud.
My grandmother and eldest brother began to help cut a little, and then the two siblings began to hold the rice and beat it into the big wooden barrel, which was used in the countryside.
Grandparents helped to cut, Yibai had to squat on the bank of the field to cut the rabbit to eat grass, grandma called her loudly: "Yibai, be careful, don't cut your hands." ”
Yi Bai said loudly, grabbed the skewers of fish and loaches with his left hand, and carefully cut the shore of the field with his right hand with a sickle.
After cutting, the small back basket was almost full, and Yibai sat down with a sickle and watched the adults threshing rice.
Hearing my mother say that this is the raw material for the meal I eat every day, I saw that the adult had already cut a third of it, and was stopping, pushing the big wooden barrel to the shore of the field, and then the uncle climbed ashore and put the two buckets away.
I and my mother put the rice in the wooden barrel into the basket, and when it was full, my uncle carried it back, and my grandmother asked Yibai to go back with him, and Yibai said yes.
Yibai followed behind his uncle with rabbit grass on his back, and his uncle's strength was so great that he rested twice on the road, picked it up all the time, and poured it on the mat in the yard to dry.
Yibai put down the basket and said to his uncle, "Uncle, wait a minute, I will also go to cut the rice, and let my grandmother come back to cook." ”
The uncle was sweating profusely and said with a smile: "You are still young, let's help when you are older." ”
Yibai had no choice but to say okay, or followed, to the shore of the field, the uncle went down to the field again, and the grandmother was a little tired, so she climbed up.
Yibai immediately asked her grandmother what was wrong, and her grandmother had to say that she wanted to take a break, and Yibai whispered, "Grandma, I'll go down and cut the rice." ”
Grandma smiled and said yes, told her to pull up her trouser legs, and then stepped on her two thin white feet carefully.
Sinking continuously, Yibai was startled, walked a few steps carefully, came to the side of his mother, picked up the iron gauze knife, grabbed the rice stalk with his left hand, and cut it carefully with his right hand.
I cut very little, and I held it and beat it to my mother, but my mother didn't say anything, telling her to be careful.
After doing it for a while, Yibai felt hot and itchy, and told his grandfather that he was going up, and his grandfather smiled and said okay.
Yibai slowly walked back to the shore and climbed up, and her grandmother told her to sit there and rest, and she said yes, and wiped the mud off her feet with rice.
Waiting for the adults to finish harvesting, she didn't go down a second time.
The second time I helped harvest rice was when I graduated from junior high school, and this time I also helped cut rabbit grass first, and my grandmother's family has always raised rabbits.
This time Yibai grew taller and had more strength, and this time he went to the field to help harvest the rice, and he helped to harvest it all the time, and his grandmother went back to dry.
After the beating, she also helped carry the rice back once, and her grandmother praised her, and the adults praised her.
The third time she beat the rice was this time, this time she helped to beat, her grandmother and grandfather helped to cut, and she used a lot of strength to beat the rice, at this time Yibai was a little higher than her mother, and her strength was also very great.
This time, Yibai and his uncle helped to finish the fight, and they also helped to pick twice, and the uncle said with a smile: "Yibai will really work, and his strength is not small." The results were also good, really good. ”
The adults praised her, and she was very happy.
Digging sweet potatoes will also have a lot of strength, and you can pick two buckets of sweet potatoes, not less than eighty catties.
My grandmother is also very good at work, pulling soybeans, beating soybeans, and quickly beating out soybeans, about 100 catties.
My grandparents smiled and said, "Yibai is energetic now, just like your mother, and her test results are good." ”
Yibai smiled and said, "Thank you grandparents for the compliment, I will work harder in the future." ”
After the sun was finished, my grandmother picked two baskets of rice, and Yibai carried fifty catties of corn on her back, and went to the village chief with her grandfather to pay the public grain, which was also on the street where the village was in the market.
Yibai and his grandmother went to hand over three times together, and Yibai only understood the matter of paying public grain in the countryside this time, and asked twice before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
After handing it over, I went back to my grandfather's house.
It was almost finished, and my grandfather packed ten catties of soybeans and ten catties of peanuts and asked my grandmother to take them back to the city to eat, and my grandmother gave my grandfather 500 yuan before taking the car home with Yibai.
Zhao Qiufeng and Zhao's mother also went back to their grandmother's house in the countryside and told their grandmother about Zhao Qiufeng's test results, and they smiled and said that they would study hard and work hard in the future.
Zhao Qiufeng and the others also helped her grandmother's family harvest rice, and asked her grandmother to take her two little cousins, Qiufeng and Zhao's mother, and her grandfather to go to the field to collect rice.
The second aunt is working outside and can't come back, and the second aunt can only come back during the Chinese New Year.
The family only planted a field of rice, and every year it was harvested by the grandparents themselves, and there was no one to invite, and Zhao's mother basically went back every year when she was busy with farming.
Fortunately, Zhao's father didn't say anything gossipy, and Zhao Qiufeng went back to the countryside more often than Yibai and them.
Since she was ten years old, she and Zhao's mother went back to their hometown, and they would help her grandmother work, Zhao's mother worked very well and had great strength.
Zhao Qiufeng went to cut it four times, and she felt so tired, this time Zhao Qiufeng asked her grandfather and mother to cut, and she beat it alone.
Zhao's mother said okay, looking at her daughter who is as tall as herself, Zhao's mother is very happy, and now her daughter has more strength.
In a field, she insisted on finishing alone, all the clothes on her body were wet, her face was covered with sweat, and her hair was also wet.
When the wooden barrel was full, Zhao's mother picked it back alone, Zhao Qiufeng wanted to help her mother pick it, asked her grandfather to rest first, picked it back and asked her grandmother to dry, and the two mothers and daughters went back to the field to fight, and it took a day to finally harvest.
Each time I pretended to be less, the two mothers and daughters picked back and forth four times, and finally finished the selection.
There is no male labor force, so Zhao's mother forced herself to train herself so that she could help the family.
After harvesting the rice, they dug up the sweet potatoes, which were also carried back by the two mothers and daughters, and the sweet potatoes from two fields took four days to dig up, and the peanuts and soybeans were taken back by the grandparents themselves.
They planted early, so they harvested it early, and it took eight days of work to finish the harvest.
After a day of rest, I helped my grandfather go to the street to hand over the public food before returning home.
My grandfather packed five catties of peanuts and five catties of soybeans and asked Zhao's mother to take them back, and Zhao's mother gave 800 yuan to my grandfather, and then went back to the city with her daughter.
Grandpa sent them to the car, this eldest daughter is equivalent to his son, filial piety is very good, and so is the eldest granddaughter.
Zhou Yinglan and Zhou's father also went back to their hometown, helped their grandfather's family with the farm, and told Zhou Yinglan's results in the exam, and the grandparents were very happy and said that they did well in the exam.
Grandpa's family also planted rice, and Zhou's father often went back to his hometown to help, and Zhou's mother would sometimes read it. said that Zhou's father always went home, afraid that he would delay his business.
Zhou's father came from the countryside and knew that his parents were working hard in the countryside, so he did his filial piety and went back to help.
