Chapter 13: Picking Ears of Rice
When the weather clears, everyone in the village, whether it is the old man or the child, begins to get busy, the young men and women are divided into groups, the stronger ones are responsible for harvesting rice, the less powerful are responsible for carrying rice, the rest are responsible for threshing in the fields, the old people cook at home, the children are responsible for delivering the meals to the fields, even the ducks are rushed to the fields to pick up the grains on the ground to eat, and the children who have finished delivering the meals gather together, and the ducks who are chasing the grain in the fields are still pinching the ears of rice picked up in the fields. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xing Youliang carried Xing Youyou with a strap on his back, followed by Xing Youqian and Zhang Xiaochuan who also brought food to his father and uncle.
"Brother, hurry up, the food is almost finished. Xing Youqian urged.
"It's coming, it's coming. Xing Youliang put down the basket of food, greeted his father and joined the army of picking up ears of rice.
Strictly speaking, the ears of rice that fell on the ground should be the granary of the brigade, but Captain Chen knew that everyone's life was hard, so he turned a blind eye and didn't care.
In order to facilitate the quick picking of rice ears, Xing Youyou was placed in the corner of the field against the wall, and a back basket was placed next to it. Seeing that there were more and more ears of rice in the back basket, Xing Youyou clapped his hands happily. But she hadn't noticed that there were several older children standing on a field high up, and one of the taller ones seemed to be the leader.
"Boss, when are we going to make a move?" asked one of his henchmen to his right.
"Don't worry, when they're almost done, we'll grab it again, so we don't have to pick it up one by one. After saying that, he smiled proudly.
"The boss is really smart, I can think of it, smarter than the teachers in the school. ”
"But what if they call them Daddy, Boss?" asked the heel on the left.
"Hmph, the place where they harvest is still some distance from here, so we must move quickly under the lamp, and we will be almost done when their father and mother arrive. ”
After a while, Xing Youyou, who was sitting in the corner and had nothing to do, saw a group of big children in the distance moving in this direction, taking advantage of the crowd to grab the ears of rice in the hands of other children. So he alertly collected most of the rice ears in the small back basket into the secret realm. Xing Junlan also saw that Captain Chen's eldest nephew in front of him was snatching the rice ears of other children, and hurriedly pulled his sister and ran to the place where Xing Youliang was.
"There is food, you see, Chen Tianba is leading people to grab rice ears, what should we do?"
Xing Youliang was bending down to pick up ears of rice, when he heard a familiar voice talking to him, he looked up and saw that it was Xing Junlan, and he felt a little funny. I thought to myself, when he was fine, he was like a subordinate, but now when something happens, he suddenly becomes gentle, and he is really uncomfortable.
"What to do? ”
"How can it be done, we have worked so hard to pick it up for so long, so I don't want to give it to him in vain, and I can only pick it up once a year. Xing Junmin next to him said a little anxiously.
"Did you see Xiao Wu in front of you? If you don't give it, you will be beaten. Xing Youliang's eyes stared at the ears of rice in their hands, and his eyes were spinning.
Xing Junlan knew that he must have a way when he saw the appearance of Xing Youliang, so he said:
"Tell me, how will you tell me what you can do? ”
"I want your ordinary ears of rice. ”
"It's too much, I," Xing Junmin wanted to say something, but Xing Youliang interrupted her.
"Hurry up and decide, they'll be here with us soon. ”
"Okay, we promise you. Xing Junlan said.
"Let's gather all our ears of rice, you take most of the ears of rice and sneak into the field below to dig a hole and bury it, and I will bury the rest in this field behind you, and you all fight in a row to block us. Let's go. ”
After the sentence was finished, Xing Junlan and the others began to act. When Chen Tianba came over, he had just finished all the movements.
"What about your ears of rice, why don't you have anything in your hands?" asked the little minion.
"We just arrived, and we were about to start picking it up. Zhang Xiaochuan replied.
Chen Tianba glanced at it and saw that Xing Youliang and Xing Youqian's hands were covered with mud.
"Hmph, you just got your hands so dirty?"
After saying that, he left the row of people and walked behind them, and saw that the ground had been gouged off. Pointing to the ground, he said,
"Brothers, cut it for me. ”
The last two minions knelt on the ground and began to click the earth. The golden ears of rice soon appeared.
"The boss is really a fairy calculus, and even this can be known. "The fart of the third minion on the right made Chen Tianba very comfortable.
But thinking that someone dared to lie to him in front of him, he was really unhappy.
"Zhang Xiaochuan, you are really daring, you actually hid your things and lied to me that I just came, say quickly, if there is anything else, hurry up and hand it all over, otherwise your mother won't know you." Chen Tianba threatened.
This Chen Tianba is the nephew of Captain Chen, who is 13 years old, because his uncle is the captain of the village, his life is not bad, and he is also tall and big, but he is influenced by his father, and he is afraid of evil.
"Chen Tianba, this is all we have, you have found out, take it and leave quickly, Xiaochuan is not in good health, if he has anything to fear, you can't afford it." Xing Youliang was very worried about what they would really do, so he hurriedly said.
Chen Tianba thinks about it, this Xiaochuan's body will fall when the wind is strong, and he is afraid that he will not be able to stand his fists. beckoned to the ass and got ready to go. At this time, the eyes of the fourth minion on the left looked everywhere and found a basket not far away.
"Boss, there's a back basket there, and there's definitely something in it. ”
"Well, Wang Si's eyes are good, if you really have it, wait for half of you. Wang Si rubbed his hands together happily when he heard this.
Xing Youliang sighed in his heart, he actually forgot to carry the basket, so he turned his head and whispered to Zhang Xiaochuan:
"Xiaochuan, you give Sister Lan's ears of rice to her, and I'll go to Xiaomei to have a look. ”
"Well, okay, you pay attention to safety. ”
Xing Youliang walked quickly to Xing Youyou's side, picked up the back basket with his left hand and blocked it in front of her, just as Chen Tianba's hind feet also arrived.
"What, Xing Youliang, didn't you tell me that you don't have ears of rice? What's in this basket?" Chen Tianba clearly saw through the gap in the basket that there were ears of rice inside, and a fire rose in his heart.
"This, I forgot, I didn't mean to lie to you," Xing Youliang explained.
"Hmph, I didn't mean to, brothers, I made him up. After Chen Tianba finished speaking, the next 5 or 6 henchworms came up and added their fists and feet.
Xing Youqian, who was in the distance, saw it, and immediately rushed over, clapping his little hands and kicking the bad guys who beat his brother.
"Bad guys, bad guys, go away, woo, go away. Xing Youqian cried.
Minions looked at this little kid who was in the way, and kicked Xing Youqian five steps away.
Zhang Xiaochuan knew that it was useless for him to go up, so he immediately shouted loudly to the following:
"Captain Chen, Chen Batian has beaten a child, Captain Chen, help... ”
"Let's go"
Chen Tianba was most afraid of his uncle Chen Haitao, and after hearing this, Zhang Xiaochuan actually asked his uncle to clean him up, and immediately left quickly with Dao Sui and the little minions.
