Chapter 18 Harvesting the Bud Valley

The video production software is very unproficient, and it is time for dinner to finish all this.

During the meal, my father said: "It's time to harvest buds tomorrow, I'll go to the mountain side with your mother in the morning, and you can bring us food at noon, okay?"

Li Junge said: "How can it be done, I am also a strong laborer, I will go with you tomorrow morning, and let my mother deliver the food." ”

Dad said: "Na Cheng, Na Sufen, you will go to the back mountain to dig some bamboo shoots, and tomorrow we will make a bitter bamboo shoot sauerkraut soup, and dry it under the sun for a day, and we have to get some heat to clear the fire." ”

Li Junge then remembered that the bamboo bushes had already been put into the space for himself, and hurriedly said: "I'll go, I'll go, my mother will wash the dishes later, and I'll go to the back mountain to dig up the bitter bamboo shoots back." ”

After eating, Li Junge came to the back mountain and secretly moved a clump of bamboos from the space back to the ground, which looked similar to the original, but it was much more green and tall than the original, and it looked very energetic.

"That's all there is to it, I hope they don't see it. Li Junge looked at the bamboo bush and muttered to himself.

A knife against a piece of bamboo is the same as when trying a knife in space, but it can't be cut with a single knife.

"The bamboo has really hardened, I don't know if the bamboo shoots have also hardened. Li Junge cut at a bamboo shoot again.

The bamboo shoots broke off in response.

"Fortunately, the bamboo shoots are still the same, and it seems that they will not harden until they grow to a certain extent. What does it taste like?"

Li Junge found that the smell came from the broken mouth of the bamboo shoot, which was a quiet aroma.

I broke a piece and put it in my mouth to chew, and it was sweet with a hint of cool bitterness.

"Well, it looks like my sense of taste and smell has become more sensitive. Li Junge believes that this is the result of Space Lingquan's transformation of his body.

It seems that in the future, I will secretly get some spiritual spring water to come out and give some to my family to drink from time to time.

happily dug up a basket of bitter bamboo shoots and went home, and took them to the kitchen to show my mother: "Mom, do you see enough, if it's not enough, I'll cut some more." ”

My mother came to see that it was enough, picked up another one and smelled the root incision section, and said suspiciously: "Why are this year's bitter bamboo shoots so fragrant?"

Li Junge Waterfall Sweat, it turned out that it was not all because his sense of taste and smell had become sensitive, but because the quality of bamboo shoots had improved.

At this time, my father also came in and said, "I came in when I smelled it, why does it smell so good?"

Mom said to Dad, "No, you smell this." After speaking, he handed him the bitter bamboo shoots in his hand.

Dad took it and sniffed it and said, "Well, it's coming out, it's so fragrant." Then just make two dishes tomorrow, a bitter bamboo shoot sauerkraut soup, and a sliced pork. ”

After cleaning up, the family sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Junge slipped back to his house, and went up to the alarm clock from the bamboo raft in Lingquan to take a look, and sure enough, the time in Lingquan was the same as on the island, and it was also a day and a year.

……

When he got up early the next morning, Li Junge remembered one more thing, ran to the chicken pen under the longan tree, and poured a large glass of space spirit spring water into the sink, wanting to see the reaction of the chicken after drinking the space spring water.

The chickens rushed up, clucking and grabbing water to drink. It was as if I had been thirsty for days.

"Drink, drink, and come back to see you in the evening. ”

When he looked at the sun, he felt that it would be a little spicy, so he went back to the house and took out an old cloth shirt, buttoned the cuffs after putting it on, changed into a pair of trousers, put the trousers into his socks, took a big straw hat and buttoned it on his head, and looked for a sickle everywhere.

Dad drank porridge in the hall and said to him, "What's the hurry, everything is packed up, and it's in the cart outside the door." Hurry up and eat, don't just drink thin, I'm tired today. ”

Li Junge nibbled two steamed buns with porridge, and took a big pot with a pot of water across his body, and his father led him out.

There was a big cart in the open dam, and on the cart were two baskets, a pile of bundled sacks, and machetes, shovels, hemp ropes, and other guys.

Li Junge pulled the cart and followed his father and walked to his own field.

The corn field is outside the village, and the two met many villagers on the road, and several families also pulled carts, and it seemed that they were all going to harvest corn.

When I saw both of them, I greeted them.

Villager Wang Huanbang and his son Wang Hongguang are also walking in the field, and the two families are close to each other, so they go the same way.

Li Junge scattered cigarettes for the two of them, and greeted them: "Uncle Huanbang, Brother Hongguang." ”

Wang Hongguang also pulled the car, took the cigarette, and said to Li Junge: "Yo, when did Piwa come back?

It was the cattle that pulled the wheel, and this was Wang Hongguang joking with Li Junge around the corner.

Li Junge smiled: "Haha, Brother Hongguang, you are not the same, this was called back by Uncle Huanbang, right?"

Wang Hongguang said: "Hey, I'm not doing hard work in the county, you have been in the big city for several years, I'm afraid you won't be able to do farm work, right?"

Li Junge raised his feet and said with a smile: "Just kidding, looking at my outfit, it's still an authentic country style." ”

Wang Hongguang said with a smile: "It's whiter, be careful to tan and peel off, I have sage oil at home, come to my house at night to get it." ”

The civet cat, whose oil has a special effect on skin damage such as burns and sunburns.

The two talked and laughed and walked forward, and the two fathers frowned when they saw it.

Wang Huanbang stopped his son: "What are you doing? Stop, you two cars are pulling together? ”

Wang Hongguang stopped and handed the car to his father, and said: "Ouch, I forgot about this stubble when I saw Piwa, come, old man, you pull it for a while, and I'll talk to Piwa." ”

Changing positions, Wang Huanbang pulled the car and walked with Li Siqi in front. Li Junge and Wang Hongguang walked behind in a car, and only then did they vacate half of the path.

When they arrived at the ground, the two families separated, left the cart, and the father and son tied a hemp rope around their waists, stuck a few burlap bags around their waists, and carried a big basket on their backs, and one of them took a machete and went down to the ground.

The corn stalks have begun to turn yellow, and the shells and whiskers have begun to wither, indicating that the cob inside is fully ripe.

Harvesting buds and grains is hard work, corn leaves sweep the face, and rice stubble pokes the crotch.

The buds are serrated, and the corn whiskers are swept on the face and neck, and the buds and chaffs will pull out small openings, and the sun will sweat first-class, painful and itchy, and the taste is unpleasant.

His Excellency Li Jun went to the field, began to break the corn, and if he couldn't break it, he gave a knife from the handle, and then threw it into the back basket behind him, broke a row, pulled out a sack from his waist, poured the corn in the back basket into the sack, and then bent down to cut down the broken corn stalks.

The father and son collected the corn in rows, silently, and buried their heads in hard work.

In the middle, Li Siqi rested a few times, and Li Junge was in good health now, so he didn't stop.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and Shi Sufen delivered food.

A large pot of bitter bamboo shoots and sauerkraut soup, a plate of bitter bamboo shoots pickled with pepper and sliced pork, plus steamed buns in the morning.

Seeing that his mother was coming, Li Junge stopped and beckoned his father to eat together.

My mother looked at the cornfield and said, "Yo, you two have been working hard this morning." ”

Dad scooped up a big bowl of bitter bamboo shoots and sauerkraut soup and handed it to Li Junge, while saying to his daughter-in-law: "Piwa has done a lot, my old arms and waist are not good, and he hasn't stopped all morning." ”

Li Junge washed his hands and face in the bucket brought by his mother, removed the oil and sweat of the morning, and made his head, face and neck a little more comfortable, and said with a smile: "I want to finish work early and get rid of it early, this sin is not comfortable." ”

After speaking, he said: "There are not many buds planted this year, and I look at it to be able to harvest it in one day." ”

Dad said: "Now the seeds are good, a corn tree bears a lot, and now I don't pay the public grain, and there is longan lychee as the base, what do you do when you plant so many buds, enough for the family to eat, and then it is enough to raise pigs and chickens." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "That's good, the farm work is tiring, you are old now, in the future, we will get less, and the rest of the land will be planted by others." ”

My parents laughed and said: "You are the old yellow calendar, the terraced fields on the mountain have been deserted for several years, but everyone thinks it is too troublesome to go up and down the mountain, and now your whole generation has gone out to work, and no one has planted it when you give it away, and you have to go out." ”

Li Junge thought that this was really the case, and he laughed embarrassedly.

Dad said, "When you come back, you have to get the sin, and you know that the city is good." ”

Li Junge said: "Ouch, old man, as the old saying goes, 'every snake bites', and the big city is not so easy to stay in, I think the village is good, so I am willing to farm every day." ”

My mother smiled: "It's easy to farm and it's hard to harvest the land, why don't you just talk about that end?"

Li Junge took a sip of soup and praised, "This soup is so delicious." ”

I put another chopstick sliced bitter bamboo shoot meat into my mouth and chewed it, and said, "Well, this meat slice is not bad, Mom, your skills are getting better and better." ”

Dad also fished two chopsticks and said it was good.

My mother smiled: "I think this year's bitter bamboo shoots are particularly fragrant, and they are more delicious than in previous years." ”

Li Junge guessed that this might be the credit of Lingquan.

The three of them talked and laughed for a while, and Shi Sufen packed up her things and went back, leaving the father and son to continue working.

It worked until the sun turned west, and the rest of the backers were gone.

Dad said he would push a cart of bud valley back first. Come back and push the second cart, and try to get all the land done today.

At this time, Wang Huanbang and Wang Hongguang also finished their work, pushed the cart over, and saw that Li Junge's land was almost finished, and praised: "You guys are doing it so fast! This is preparing to be harvested in one day." We'll have to come tomorrow. ”

Li Siqi praised his son again and said: "It's mainly the baby who did it, and I can't do it now." ”

Wang Hongguang shouted to Li Junge, who was still working hard in the field: "Piwa has done a beautiful job! Granny Wang knows that she will come to step on the threshold of your house today!"

Granny Wang is the matchmaker in the village, this is to make fun of Li Junge's farm work, and she will attract girls to like it.

Li Junge laughed and shouted back: "If you want it, just look for it like your sister-in-law! Give me a child like Xiaogang!"

Wang Xiaogang is Wang Hongguang's son, and countrymen often joke with each other like this.

Wang Hongguang scolded with a smile, and together with Wang Huanbang, he helped Li Siqi load a cart full of corn, and the three of them pushed the corn home, leaving Li Junge to continue alone.

Li Junge watched the three of them go away and continued to work.

The sun was about to set, and the shadows on the side of the mountain were getting thicker and thicker, and the darkness began to spread from the mountainside.

The sky was red, and the temperature of the cornfields dropped to a comfortable level.

Li Junge sped up his speed, preparing to finish the work before dark.

was burying his head in the work, and suddenly there was a sound of sizzling in front of him, Li Junge was engrossed, and he didn't pay attention at first, until the sound was almost in his ears.
