"Auntie, uncle helped me mow the grass and told you to cook, and I would come over to eat later. ”

Qin Ruhai found Yu Xiumei and said with a pant.

Yu Xiumei agreed, and quickly went into the kitchen, making a clanging sound.

In the morning, Qin Ruhai made more than ten trips back and forth, and basically finished transporting the weeds cut yesterday.

The two hurriedly had lunch and rushed to the field together.

Although Li Ergen is over fifty years old, his subordinates are not sluggish at all, and they can cut off a lot with a sickle, leaving only one centimeter of stubble, and the efficiency is obviously much higher, and there is no uncomfortable appearance at all.

In the afternoon, Qin Ruhai also began to mow the grass while wearing gloves, because the cut grass was not enough for him to carry, he didn't want to sit and wait and see, despite Li Ergen's repeated dissuasion, he still reluctantly started to do it.

With Li Ergen's hand-in-hand teachings, Qin Ruhai's subordinates have obviously eased up a lot, but their efficiency has improved a lot.

There was no time for small talk, only the sound of the "clatter" under the sickle, and the sound of the weeds falling to the ground.

When night fell, there were less than five points left. Qin Ruhai finished the freshly cut grass and took Li Ergen back home slowly.

Qin Ruhai stayed at Li Ergen's house for dinner, and hurried home with something in mind.

Before leaving, Li Ergen and Yu Xiumei specially instructed that they were not allowed to stay up late to mow the grass tonight, and tomorrow the two of them would work together to mow for another morning, and they would be able to finish the mowing easily.

And Qin Ruhai didn't go home, got on the car with a sickle and a grinding stone, and secretly went to the field.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Qin Ruhai squatted in the ground and slowly mowed the grass as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and when the sky was slightly bright, the weeds of more than two acres were considered to be "at the end of their lives".

Qin Ruhai rested on the ground for a while, put more than a dozen stacks of grass on the side of the road, and rode back home.

When I got home, I casually nibbled on a few mouthfuls of moldy flatbread, and then rode to Li Ergen's house.

"Uncle, I've finished cutting the grass, and I can plow the land today. ”

"What? You're in the field again?"

"I know my uncle is not in good health, so I don't want to trouble you all the time. ”

"Alas, what do you want me to say about you, tell you not to go to the field, alas, you still go, why are you so strong?"

"Uncle, I can't hide things in my heart, and the thought of more than five points of weeds in my heart makes my heart itch, but now I'm steady. ”

"Well, well, come with me to breakfast. ”

"Uncle, I've eaten, you go, I'll feed the sheep first. ”

"Haiwa, your temper is going to change, whether you really eat it or not, eat a few more bites with me, the sheep haven't gotten up yet, they can't starve to death! Go, don't talk again, this kid!"

Qin Ruhai was not stubborn, so he had to follow.

Yu Xiumei's craftsmanship is well-known in the village, the newly cooked oil cakes, and a few stir-fried vegetables, the smell is refreshing, and the worms are overflowing.

At first, Qin Ruhai only drank tea and didn't eat, and excused himself by saying that he had already eaten, but he hoped that they could persuade him again.

Yu Xiumei is a person who is not good at words and does not like to talk, introverted, mild-tempered, will not persuade people to eat and drink, and seems a little wooden and cold, but she doesn't think like this in her heart, she just can't say that kind of polite words.

Li Ergen knew the situation of Qin Ruhai's family very well, knowing that he hadn't eaten, maybe he didn't even bother to wash his face, and he didn't dislike it, he pushed a few dishes over, took out a large piece of hot dough oil cake and handed it over and said: "Haiwa, don't see me outside, let go of eating, there are no good ones here, don't be too little, these are all yours, don't leave if you don't finish eating, when we finish eating, we will go to plow the land when we finish eating, you can watch it!"

Qin Ruhai said red-earedly: "Uncle, you are too polite, how can I finish eating so much, everyone come together, don't eat me and can't hold me down!"

Li Ergen saw him move his chopsticks, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, that's right!" You and I have been a family for a long time, you said that this has been more than ten years, although it is not an uncle and nephew, but it is not far off, my two children are not very homely, almost regardless of the life or death of me and your aunt, I have long been unable to rely on them, and you have been in the wind and rain for many years, and come to our house every day, not a son is better than a son, so we didn't treat you as an outsider, you just eat with an open belly, and the rest of our family doesn't, but there is oil and noodles, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. ”

Qin Ruhai slowly put down his chopsticks, his eyes were full of tears, more than half of the shredded artichoke he ate in his mouth was still exposed, his eyes blinked, and he was about to cry.

Li Ergen continued: "Hehe, if you don't dislike it, just recognize me as your godfather, we will be considered father and son from now on, your parents left early, I have always taken care of you, and I have long regarded you as my own nephew, and now you are not young, and when you have a good girl, your aunt and I can help make the decision, and we can block the mouths of the people in the village, if you don't want to, just when I haven't said it, you will still be my nephew in the future, if you have any difficulties, just come to us to solve them." I don't have much hope and demand for you, just be safe and down-to-earth, be an ordinary and simple person, and when your aunt and I die, you can still remember this affection, and it is enough to go to our grave to burn incense during the New Year's holidays. ”

Qin Ruhai suddenly knelt on the ground, knocked his head three times in a row, and kept shouting godfather and godmother in his mouth, which was considered to be a promise.

Li Ergen and Yu Xiumei got off the kang one after another, and hurriedly helped Qin Ruhai up, with two lines of tears flowing from their eyes.

"Haiwa, don't take that incident to heart last time, I also cherish those sheep, so I was too mean to you, but I regretted it afterwards, you are a good boy who dares to act, I misunderstood you. ”

"Dad, you're right, this matter is over, I don't blame you at all, and I want to thank you for forgiving and tolerating that incident, don't say it again in the future. ”

"Hehe, that's good, eat quickly, we'll go to the field later, and it's going to take a morning soon!"

Qin Ruhai was no longer polite, he devoured a meal, and soon there were a few more empty plates on the table, and there were not many hot oil cakes left.

Li Ergen went to put a rope on the cow, Qin Ruhai walked into the pen shed and began to spread the grass, and Yu Xiumei went to clean up the cups and saucers. The three of them began to work together and cooperated very tacitly.

Half an hour later, the three of them went out together.

On the way, I met many villagers, and saw that their behavior was ridiculous, and it was not the beginning of spring and late autumn, whose land was going to be ploughed by the oxen?

Li Ergen didn't hide it, and when he met people, he said that he was going to plow the land of his godson Qin Ruhai's family, no matter how frightened and surprised others were, he explained and publicized it like this, and he didn't feel how face-hurting it was to recognize an orphan like Qin Ruhai, and he said it very calmly and directly.
