After arriving home, You's mother hurriedly smiled and asked them to eat, they put down the household tools in their hands, helped to put down the basket on their backs, Xiao Ming put down the flat burden, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They all smiled and said that they had finally arrived home, and hurriedly went over to wash their hands and face, and You's mother had already brought out a red plastic basin and poured half a basin of warm hot water into it.

Jixing and Qinghai both hands were muddy, Xiao Ming and their hands were full of sweet potato slurry stained on their hands, a little dark, Xiao Ming found soap and asked them to wash it.

Qinghai stood beside him, waiting for them to wash first, and the army rubbed them with soap, but only washed most of the black spots, and Ji Xing washed them first, and then went to fetch water.

After Tianhong finished washing, he called Qinghai to come over and help him wash, his left hand did not dare to get wet, and Tianhong carefully helped him wash.

Ji Xing called half a basin of water and began to wash his face, and called them after washing, and they said that they were good, and after Tianhong washed his face, he immediately helped Qinghai wash it, and his face was a little injured and he couldn't get wet.

After washing, Xiao Ming poured all the two basins of dirty water outside the yard, and after putting it away, he went back to the table to eat.

After seeing everyone sit down, You Ma smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and eat, the sun is very hot now, and I won't go out until late in the afternoon." ”

Everyone nodded and said yes, picked up chopsticks and ate, worked for a long time, they were really hungry, and the sun made their faces red.

At noon today, there were five bowls of meat, two bowls of chicken and two bowls of duck, as well as a bowl of pot meat, and three vegetarian dishes, which filled the table.

The steaming smell of meat made them eat a lot, and they ate it one after another, and You Ma asked while eating, "Xiao Ming, how much has not been dug yet?"

Xiao Ming finished eating the meat in his mouth before he whispered: "Mom, there are still six lines, it should be able to be dug this afternoon, and there are still those that have not been picked up after digging, and they are drying there." ”

You Ma smiled and said yes, beckoned everyone to eat enough, and everyone nodded and said yes. After eating, the third sister and You's mother went to wash the dishes.

The five boys sat together to rest, Xiao Ming went back to the room and took out anti-inflammatory drugs for Qinghai to eat, and Tianhong immediately poured boiling water for him.

Xiao Ming took out the painkiller plaster and asked Jixing and Qinghai to put it on, they said okay, Tianhong helped Qinghai put it on, and Xiao Ming helped Jixing put it on.

At this time, the army sighed and said: "Alas, it would be good when it can be mechanized here, or plant fruit trees, especially those with soil in the middle of the mountainside, I hope the government can plan it in the future." ”

The four boys said yes, Xiao Ming sighed and said: "In the future, the young people in the village will go to the city to work, and the countryside will be full of old people."

When most people have a job in the city and earn money, more and more people will go to the city to work in the future, after all, they are engaged in urban construction now. ”

Ji Xing also sighed and said: "I hope that too, in the future, the big bosses with economic strength can respond to the government's transformation."

What kind of tourist attraction is built here, but I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, at least 20 years later, and the city will be almost renovated. ”

Tianhong also sighed and said: "In the future, the government can help the poor in the countryside and buy some fruit trees that can be suitable for planting."

Let those uneven lands be planted, and the results can be sold later, and after they are sold, they can buy grain to eat, but the grain will also have to be transported from other places. ”

Qinghai looked at them and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the xx government has the ability to transform these, but it takes time, where and how?"

The government will hold a general assembly, vote on it, and it will send people to inspect it. We can also apply for such jobs after we finish college. ”

The four boys laughed and said yes, we can do it in the future, and everyone high-fived and laughed happily.

This kind of communication is also in the school, taught by the teacher, and everyone firmly remembers that since the parents are desperately sending themselves to a key high school, it means that this is a school that the xx government attaches great importance to.

Everyone works hard to implement it, so that they can be worthy of their parents and teachers' teachings. After discussing, Xiao Ming asked everyone to go to sleep for an afternoon, and everyone said yes.

After washing up, Mama You asked the third sister to go to sleep first, and looked at the rice drying outside, now the sun is very strong, the third sister said okay, turned around and went to sleep.

Xiao Ming closed the door, and the five boys fell asleep on the bed one after another, a little sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

You's mother was guarding outside, turning the rice back and forth with a grab, hoping to dry it quickly, so that the rice could be stored.

I used three large mats a few meters wide to dry, because the ground has not been covered with cement floor, it is all mud ground, it is not good to dry, so it is dry, and it is quickly put away, swept into a pile with a broom, packed with a dustpan and put it into the bucket, and then picked back to the house.

You's mother sat in the hall and dozed off, she felt that Xiao Ming had made good friends with these classmates, and they could help each other in the future, and she was also relieved.

You Ma slept for a while and woke up, afraid that it would rain outside, so she took out the dried vegetables and smelled the smell of vegetables.

She packed the dried vegetables into four bags, each bag was about a catty, she wanted to ask Xiao Ming's four classmates to take it back and eat it, I don't know if they want it, in short, thank them for helping.

After packing, I took out the dried soybeans, and each bag contained about a catty, and packed it into four bags.

There were also sun-dried peanuts, each bag contained about two catties, and four bags.

Take out the sun-dried bowl of beans, each bag contains about a catty, and there are four bags. After everything was loaded, she stopped, hoping that they could accept it, and there were few things, which represented a little heart.

After cleaning up, I went outside to dry the rice, and after the drying, I sat down to rest, and after the time passed, the third sister woke up, walked out, and called my mother to go to sleep, and she came to watch the sun.

You Ma said okay and hurried to go, Sanyu sat down and looked at the weather outside, now the sun is very big, it is already two o'clock in the afternoon.

The third sister had to wash her face, she felt much more comfortable, and remembering what her brothers said, the third sister felt very reasonable.

In the future, I will work hard, save some after making money, and send some to my parents, usually the eldest sister takes the most care of the family, and the second brother is also obedient and hard.

The third sister has very few clothes, all of which are worn by the eldest sister, and she usually wears a school uniform, and she wears the eldest sister without a school uniform.

The family rarely buys new clothes, and they buy cheap ones, they will only buy them once in three years, and the third sister is not noisy to buy new clothes, she has been educated by her parents since she was a child, you are fined for being overborn, and you have to be obedient and use less money.

The third sister is also obedient, now she is almost seventeen years old, she has not worn new clothes, she knows in her heart that she can't cause trouble to anyone, she is not qualified.

Thinking in my heart, I went out to dry the rice from time to time, and in this way it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was not so shining.

The five boys finally woke up, and the first to wake up was Ji Xing, looking at the four people who were still sleeping, rubbing their eyes, looking at their watches, it was already half past three, and shook Xiao Ming next to him.

All of them finally woke up, opened the door, You's mother and third sister were there, looked at the sun outside, it was not so sunny, Xiao Ming immediately smiled and said, "Mom, third sister, we're going out now." ”

You's mother immediately said that I would go too, and asked the third sister to harvest rice at home at half past five, and cook rice after harvesting.

Soon came to the land of her house, You Ma looked at it, there were still a lot of sweet potatoes that had been wiped clean and muddy and piled up there, You Ma immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Ming, you dig first, I'll pick it back first." ”

Xiao Ming immediately said okay, took them and started digging up, just like in the morning, You Ma quickly took out the back basket, put the sweet potatoes into it, and then poured it into the basket, loaded half a basket, and walked back slowly.

The five boys turned their heads one after another, and Xiao Ming shouted loudly: "Mom, you pick a little less." ”

You's mother said that she knew as she walked, and the four boys said, "Xiao Ming, your mother has a lot of strength." ”

Xiao Ming had no choice but to smile and say: "In the countryside, you have to be not afraid of hardship and exercise, and so is my mother." ”

The four boys said yes, and it is estimated that their mothers are not so strong. Everyone is working fast again.

It didn't take long for everyone's faces to be covered with sweat, and You's mother rested four times on the road before finally picking her home.

Putting down the flat burden and pouring the red sign on the edge of the eaves, the rural women must not be afraid of hardship, and they must train their strength to support them with all their might.

After Mama You finished pouring, she wiped the sweat on her face with her clothes, her face was flushed, she was panting, and she took a rest.

Then she went out again, with a painkiller plaster already on her shoulder, and she wished that her soil was close to home.

But there is no way, the terrain here is uneven, there are more than a dozen families whose soil is there, and the village can only accept it.

Some of the people who went out to work no longer planted there anymore, because it was too troublesome and laborious to recover the grain that had been planted.

You Ma didn't want to plant, but there were only a few pieces of land, a family of five, and now the two children need a lot of money to study, and when the third sister also goes out to work, she won't plant this piece of soil.

She should also go out, find a job with her husband, earn some cash, if she can, she thinks so, it would be good to work hard for another three years.

You Ma arrived soon, and at this time, Xiao Ming had already finished digging one line and was digging the second line, and the speed of Tianhong and the army was much slower.

Jixing and Qinghai wiped a lot of sweet potatoes again, and You Ma quickly loaded them and picked them up again.

In this way, everyone worked hard, waiting for You's mother to install it for the third time, Xiao Ming stopped her, walked over, and said with a smile: "Mom, you go dig it, I'll pick it." ”

You Ma smiled and said okay, Xiao Ming picked it up and walked slowly, You Ma quickly took the hoe and told them to rest first, everyone said okay.

At this time, there were still two lines left to dig, and the four boys came over and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have so much strength, you have all exercised it." ”

You Ma smiled and said yes, everyone sat on the soil stalk to rest for a while, You Ma told them that she had been doing farm work for 30 years, starting at the age of 14, and now she is almost 45 years old, and she married Xiao Ming's father at the age of 20.

I rarely go far away, and I don't know as much as your mother, and the four boys said, "Auntie, you are already very powerful." He is also very able to endure hardships, just like our mother. ”

Everyone chatted for a while, and started to work again, Xiao Ming soon came again, and the speed of You's mother was also very fast, and the army asked Tianhong to wipe the mud off the sweet potatoes and dig it herself.
