"But the towels are broken, I can't buy them, and there are toothbrushes, our toothbrushes are fluffy, and it's time to change them......," Liu Hao explained eloquently, "The money that should be spent still has to be spent." ”

"What kind of towels and toothbrushes, do you really think you're from the city?" Liu Changsheng said angrily, who in the countryside uses these things so luxuriously, and changes them so frequently, it's not a waste.

"It's not just the city people, let's go to work in the commune next month, and we should use these things, or it's not good to make people laugh. Cheng Zhaodi muttered, although she also felt a little extravagant, but thinking that Liu Haohao would be from the city in the future, she felt that the money was worth it.

"That's it, not only my eldest sister, but the three of us are going to the city. Liu Tiantian said with a hippie smile, from luxury to thrift, every day used to wiping her face with a soft towel, who would like to wipe her face with a coarse cloth, and after using a toothbrush, her teeth are more than a shade whiter than her classmates, and she is more and more smiling, if she is not allowed to use these things, she can't stand it.

"It's beautiful!" Liu Changsheng said hatefully, after Liu Dali's death, his prestige at home gradually raised his head was pressed down by Liu Haohao, not to mention a few small ones now, even Cheng Zhaodi was suppressed by him because of the previous things in his mother's family, and often stood there to speak for him, so that how could he feel comfortable in his heart.

Liu Xuexue smiled on the side, she was going to take the high school exam in a few days, but her state was very different from before, and she was not nervous at all.

In the past half a month, under the intervention of Liu Haohao, she has spent a lot less time on studying, leaving only an hour a day to read and review, but she does not feel strange when she opens the textbook, those questions and solutions have not become blurred, but have become clearer and clearer, and her heart has gradually settled, it turns out that what the eldest sister said is right, as long as you master those knowledge points, the exam is not terrible at all.

According to common sense, the children do not have to come to school for two months during the summer vacation, but Liu Haohao organized several activities during the summer vacation, including science lectures, story meetings, choir rehearsals, and organized children to go to the mountains to play together.

The children don't have anything to play at home, I wish the child Wang Liu would take them crazy, and they signed up very enthusiastically, and everyone forgot that this child Wang was about to go to the commune, and he was no longer their teacher Liu.

But the most important "program" of the summer vacation is the double robbery, and many children are a little afraid of the summer vacation, because in this month, the amount of labor is too large, and the old farmers who are used to farm work are miserable, not to mention their students.

The rice in the field is ripe at the end of June, but experienced farmers say that the rice can only be harvested after the summer heat and when the summer heat is approaching, so that the harvested rice can be considered ripe, which is the hottest and most difficult time of the year.

During this time, under the launch of the production team, every household is in full swing to prepare for the harvest of early rice, the production team does not care about food, Liu Hao specially found someone to buy a few catties of flour, ready to make steamed bread at home to eat, steamed bread is dry food, not only easy to carry but also particularly hungry.

In this regard, Liu Changsheng and Cheng Zhaodi did not object, because the consumption of double robbery is too large, and they must be full before they can work, let alone eat steamed buns, they can still eat an egg during this time.

Liu Haohao only heard his parents talk about this kind of thing in the past, and he only remembered that they sighed and said bitterly, as for what the details were, she had no impression at all, and in the memory of the original owner, she only saw a dark and gloomy sky, working endlessly.

Every year, when the double robbery is carried out, not to mention that Liu, who is not diligent, has to go to the ground, even Liu Xiangxiang, who is only eight years old, has to work with the family.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the village radio sounded impassioned music, which also kicked off the prelude to this year's double robbery.

Cheng Zhaodi and Liu Xuexue got up early, quickly boiling water with a hot fire, the family yawned, washed up, and went out with a sickle in less than a while.

It was dark and dreary, but the road was very lively, some people carried lanterns, some carried kerosene wind lamps, and some flashlights, and more of them moved forward in the dark, and when they met, they greeted each other and walked towards the fields.

The early morning of midsummer was exceptionally cool, with the fragrance of the fields, Liu took a deep breath, the cool air made her wake up all of a sudden, Liu Tiantian and Liu Xiangxiang were still too young, and they followed behind, little by little, like two sleepwalking dolls.

When they arrived in the field, Liu Changsheng and Cheng Zhaodi briefly explained a few sentences, and began to work separately.

Just now, along the way, Liu Xuexue knew that she was afraid of snakes, and had already driven away several water snakes, there were many snakes in Southern Province, especially in paddy fields, although she has gradually adapted to this terrifying animal, but when she thought that she would encounter this kind of slippery and cold thing, she had goosebumps.

Liu Xiangxiang had already woken up from sleepwalking, and he didn't know where to find a long bamboo pole, and he played casually in the field for a while, "Sister, what you said last time about startling the grass and the snake, the snake should be scared away, you can rest assured." ”

Liu Haohao's heart warmed, in the end, he was his own brother, and it was not in vain that she loved him.

She bent down and cut the rice according to her memory, the original owner didn't do much farm work, and it was very clumsy to cut the rice, she naturally couldn't get any better, the efficiency was less than half of Liu Changsheng and Cheng Zhaodi, and she was also thrown out a few streets by Liu Xuexue, even Liu Tiantian cut faster than her, only Liu Shangxiang could barely make a draw with her.

However, there is no special technical content in this kind of thing of cutting rice, and if you do more, practice makes perfect, and you can cut faster and faster, she groped for a while, and slowly got started, and the speed became faster and faster, but the waist bent for too long and soreness and numbness, and felt that the lower body was not her own, and hunger and fatigue made her head a little dizzy, and she only heard her own "snort" panting.

She straightened up and knocked on her waist, her back was so sore that she gasped, the world was still dark and gloomy, looking at this scene I am afraid that it was only four o'clock in the morning, the whole production team went down to the field to cut rice, although there were many people, but it was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of the sickle "brushing" the wheat, everyone was working hard and concentrated, this field pinned on the hope of the whole production team, deducting the grain that must be handed over to the state, and the remaining part could be used as their rations.
