The whip and shouting of the cannon barrel dragged Chen Dongliang's heart like two big hands, dragging him so painfully that he was almost out of breath, his father and the cannon barrel they are all stubble, and they have been busy in this land for decades, since they can remember, they are all going back and forth in the field and home all day long, every year is the same, they have been busy for so many years, except that they are getting older and older year by year, nothing else can be seen, this year is wearing last year's clothes, next year is still the same clothes, patches are stacked on patches, a pair of shoes are worn so that the toes are exposed outside, and there are no new shoes to replace。

The barrel of the cannon ploughed the ground several times, took advantage of the opportunity of turning the ground to stand on the cattle, bent down and took off the shoes under his feet, stood on one leg and knocked the shoes on the handle of the plow, and then poured the soil poured into the shoe shell, poured it for a long time, and then put his hand into the shoe shell and picked it out, and after picking for a while, he once again lifted the shoe shell and poured out the soil that was being picked. After pouring one shoe, he picked up the other shoe and knocked it on the handle of the plow. When he had put away his two shoes, he shook the whip in his hand and shouted to the oxen to continue plowing.

Chen Dongliang looked at the cannon barrel from a distance, and then looked at Lai Baoqing who was driving the livestock and the cannon barrel to meet him, these people are all people from his father's stubble, since he can remember, they have lived like this, all year round, windy and rainy, freezing and snowy, there is no day to stop. Even those who are older than these people must be like them every day, and those with old arms and legs must not be idle. In this way, the annual harvest is divided into the task of handing over the public grain, and the rest is pitiful, and the rations distributed to each household still cannot be eaten vigorously. So busy all year round, almost all the wheat harvested in the summer has been handed in, and there is more left in the autumn dried potatoes, what kind of rations are the dried potatoes, and the pimple cakes steamed out of the beaten noodles can break the throat when eaten. The potato flour cake is harder than a brick when it is slightly dry, and it can smash the dog half to death when it is picked up and smashed. The potatoes were eaten continuously, and the heart burned all day long, like a broken thatched house on fire. Yam soup, yam bun, can't live without yams, tired for a year, eat yams for a year, and be tired for another year, or a year of yam rations. He thought about these things without rules in his heart, and he didn't feel anything sour, I really don't know how long the old and young masters have stayed up like this!

Lai Baoqing and the cannon barrel ploughed the field a few more times, put the cattle to the ground, and as soon as the two of them sat on the ground, they pulled up the sun and moon in the village.

Although Lai Baoqing does not smoke much, he often carries a cigarette pouch in his waist. His cigarette pouch is not very delicate, just a small bamboo tube with a length of two inches is inserted into a cigarette pouch socket, and it is not equipped with a jade or copper cigarette holder like others, when he smokes, he bites the bamboo pipe with his mouth. His bamboo pipe is also made of broom seedlings broken off from the broom of his own production team, because the eye in the middle is very thin, this cigarette pouch pole can't suck a few bags of cigarettes, so he has to poke it with something, or it will be made of cigarette oil that is not breathable. He sat down in front of the barrel, first tried to see if the pole of his cigarette pouch was still breathable, and bit into his mouth and blew a few times, but fortunately, it was breathable. He took out the small tobacco pouch from his coat pocket, untied the string tied to the mouth of the pouch, carefully pinched out a handful of tobacco leaves and foamed it from it with two fingers, and put it into the tobacco pot.

The cigarette pouch of the cannon barrel is more particular than Lai Baoqing's, the cigarette pot is made of very fine copper, and the tobacco pouch pole more than a foot long is said to be a rare bamboo, which has been smoked with a red color, and the cigarette holder is jade, and some people say that his cigarette holder is agate, and the cannon barrel himself can't recognize whether his cigarette holder is jade or agate, anyway, this cigarette holder is more expensive than anything else in his heart. The tobacco leaf bag that fell on the stem of the cigarette pouch was decorated with four jade rings called Ma Yao, and the four Ma Yao had been warmed with blood-like veins. The Three Nerves once said that these four majels are worth a lot of silver. Although the words of the three nerves are not convincing, these four Ma Yao have been for quite a few years, and they have been passed down to this cigarette pouch for several generations. In the future, the cannon barrel will be passed on to the second stunned, and it will be ten generations.

The cannon barrel glanced at Lai Baoqing's cigarette pouch, pouted and smiled, inserted the tobacco pot in his hand into the tobacco bag, filled a pot of cigarettes with both hands, and then bit the golden cigarette holder and drew the foreign fire in his hand, holding the cigarette pot in one hand, he smoked the cigarette with his mouth, and shook the foreign fire pole in his hand to extinguish the fire.

"Did you see Chen Guozhong's baby bump?" Lai Baoqing glanced at Chen Dongliang in the distance, and asked with smoke in his mouth.

"Chen Guozhong's two sons are too precious to him. "The barrel of the cannon is still biting the mouthpiece of the cigarette.

"Just that child, can you have a baby pimple?" Lai Baoqing turned his head to look at Chen Dongliang in the distance, and said, "Captain Ma and Ma Lao Er have been looking for me for the past few days." ”

"What are you looking for?" The cannon barrel was startled, and he looked at Lai Baoqing with a frown and asked.

Lai Baoqing pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not yet accurate, so let's not talk about it first." ”

"What could that be...... , you are really, half a sentence. The barrel of the cannon grumbled as he bit the cigarette holder.

"It's not that I don't say it, this matter hasn't been completed yet, and I'm afraid it's not good to say it. Let's talk about it when it's done. Lai Baoqing smiled embarrassedly and said, "If you say it, this matter will not be successful in the end, and your face will not look good."

"If you don't say it, forget it, it's an appetite!" The cannon barrel pouted, and the cigarette pouch in his hand was stuffed into his mouth again.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, because it's not sure to happen. Lai Baoqing pouted at the barrel of the cannon and was embarrassed.

"Then wait until you're done. Seeing that Lai Baoqing was making excuses again, the cannon barrel simply opened his mouth and smoked his cigarette pouch fiercely. He took two puffs, probably because he had sucked too hard, and a puff of smoke choked in his throat and he coughed with a red face for a while, until he spit out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm, and he cleared the breath in his throat.

"Hey, I said the cannon barrel, when will your second family get married?" Lai Baoqing saw that the cannon barrel seemed to be angry, and asked.

"Next year. I was going to do something for this kid this year, and find a fortune teller to plant a day. The fortune teller pinched and calculated, saying that this year was not a good year, and there was no good life. In the end, the fortune teller calculated that he would do well in August next year, and he planted the day until next year. The cannon barrel held the cigarette pouch in his hand, blinked his eyelids and said as if he wanted to think about something, "I want this child to marry and start a family as soon as possible, and the more people who earn work, can get more rations." ”

"There's one more person to eat. Lai Baoqing followed the words of the cannon barrel.

Lai Baoqing's words made the cannon barrel fall from that imaginary joy immediately, it was a festive thing to add Ding Ding to the family, but it was a big thing to eat and fill the stomach. Such a situation...... , He sighed and said, "Yes, many people work, and many people eat, there is no way, I can't help but start a family for my children." ”

"Hi ......" may be that Lai Baoqing thought that his sons would marry and start a family in the future, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he was a little afraid, and said, "Don't raise a son, and don't be filial, raise a son, this marrying someone and starting a family is a troublesome thing." ”

"What are you sighing about? Your family's Lai Mao is still young, and Lai Tou and Lai Cang are even smaller, so it's still early for you to do this. Seeing Lai Baoqing, the cannon barrel also sighed, turned his head to look at Lai Baoqing, and asked.

"It's our business sooner or later! Lai Baoqing let out another long breath.

After listening to Lai Baoqing's words, the cannon turned his head to look into the distance, and suddenly let out a heavy breath and did not speak. Yes, this child marries someone and starts a family sooner or later is the father's business, and he can't hide from it, if the situation goes on like this, then he Lai Baoqing will be as worried as himself, although his sons are still young now, the sun and the moon pass quickly, and things will come to him in the blink of an eye. He relied on Baoqing's three sons, and he wanted to do three things, and the old donkey pulled hard, which was enough for him to puff up his stomach and hold his strength.

Lai Baoqing saw that the cannon barrel stopped talking, and he didn't know what the cannon barrel was thinking, so he poked the cannon barrel and asked, "Who is the second stunned daughter-in-law who is the matchmaker?"

"His second aunt. The barrel of the cannon knocked the pot on the sole of the shoe, and then pounded and filled the pot with a pot of smoke.

"His second aunt is a matchmaker, so he didn't run away, the matchmaker is hard, and he must be able to dig out his strength in the middle. Lai Baoqing catered to the barrel of the cannon and said, he didn't think that as soon as the words fell, he choked on the cigarette pouch in his mouth and coughed a few heart-warming coughs, so that tears flowed from both eyes. He knocked the cigarette pouch into the pocket of his coat, rubbed his eyes alternately with his two hands, and then lifted the broken shoes under his ass and pulled them out, and with two feet poofed and kicked twice, the broken shoes were put on his feet. He stood up, stretched for a long time, yawned with his mouth wide open, and then patted the dust behind his buttocks, turned to the cannon, and said, "Enough rest, go down and call the cattle to plow." ”

As soon as the barrel was loaded with a pot of cigarettes, Lai Baoqing was so angry that he glared at Lai Baoqing with dissatisfaction, and said, "What are you busy with, and then stop smoking the bag of cigarettes." What's the use of just the two of us? The production team is not a matter of one or two people. It's just that the two of us are so active that we are tired and stretch our legs, and it's not a big deal. As he spoke, he swiped the fire in his hand, and smoked the cigarette pouch in his mouth with the flames of the fire.

Lai Baoqing saw that the cannon barrel was unhurriedly smoking a bag of cigarettes, stretched his waist again, and said, "That's right, even if the two of us become donkeys, we can't pull up the mill of the production team." ”

"Sit down and rest for a while. The barrel of the cannon bit the cigarette holder and the smoke came out of his mouth, looked up at Lai Baoqing, and said, "The production team is like this, the tired are tired, and the idle are idle." ”

Lai Baoqing threw off his two shoes and put them under his buttocks, he sat down and looked at the barrel and said, "If we can't plow out the ground at night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to speak." ”

"Why are you worried about this, if the ox doesn't walk, it can pull the two of us in front of us and pull the plow. The cannon rolled his eyes and said, "We can't pull the plow." ”

Lai Baoqing rolled his eyes at him when he saw the cannon barrel, and immediately stopped talking.

When the cannon saw Lai Baoqing sit down again, he immediately showed a smile on his face. He held the cigarette pouch in his hand, the cigarette holder was still in his mouth, he looked up at the sky, his teeth touched the cigarette holder and clicked and said: "Look at the weather this year, it looks like a fucking year, it is going to rain, and there is not a drop of rain until now, and if it doesn't rain for a few days, the moisture will not be guaranteed." ”

"Supposedly, when it rains, there should be a moist rain, and God doesn't rain. I didn't hear a thunderclap in shock, the spring equinox has passed, the Qingming Festival has also passed, and it looks like Gu Yu is coming, this God can really handle it. Lai Baoqing also looked up at the surrounding sky with the cannon barrel, and then said the cannon barrel.

"On this day...... It's weird, I'm afraid something is going to happen, Zhaoying. The cannon laughed.

"What can happen!" Lai Baoqing also smiled and said, "What's going on, we ordinary people are all working and eating." ”

"That is, what kind of flowers can we toss. It's a toss, and it's also the door of the pot at the head of the bed. With these abilities, we can also toss the head of the bed into a golden hall. The barrel finally pulled out the cigarette holder from his mouth.

"We don't have that kind of tossing in our old grave. Lai Baoqing casually followed the words of the cannon barrel.

"We people can fill in the things in our stomachs all year round, and if we don't have any illness or disaster, everything else is in vain. He put the cigarette holder in his mouth and took two sips, until there was no more smoke in the tobacco pot, and then he pulled out the broken shoes under his buttocks, turned the soles of his shoes up, and the smoke pot knocked on the soles of his shoes, and then put the cigarette pouch that had been knocked over the tobacco pot in his mouth and blew it again, and then he wrapped the tobacco bag containing the tobacco leaves around the tobacco pouch pole and pinned it to his waist, and then slowly got up from the ground, pulled the broken shoes with both feet, and bent down to lift the shoes up.

"Yes! Like Zhao Daya, life has not gone on for a while. Hearing what the cannon said, Lai Baoqing suddenly remembered Zhao Daya, "I want to know what Zhao Daya did to beat the cow." ”

"Hey......" Cannon Barrel sighed, "It's not a light beating, I heard that when I arrived at the Donkey Duiji Commune Hospital, the person was still unconscious." My second brother called a few dogs, picked up a few rabbits, and brought two to Ma Lao Er to see Zhao Daya. ”

"Zhao Daya is still in the hospital and hasn't come back?" Lai Baoqing asked.

"I didn't come back. It's like Ergazi's child taking care of his father in the hospital. The cannon barrel couldn't tell Lai Baoqing about it.

"In this way, it is not light, and they are all hospitalized. Lai Baoqing panicked and said, "Can Ergazi take care of Zhao Daya? A child, what do you know? The production team should send someone over to guard Zhao Daya." ”

"It's going to be busy in the field, how can there be idle manpower?" the cannon barrel bent down to pick up his whip from the ground, looked at the whip in his hand, and then shook it slightly, and the whip exploded.

Lai Baoqing also bent down to take his whip, and when he bent down, he remembered that his whip was inserted next to the plow, and he didn't take it at all just now.
