Chapter 203: Lazy
In the past two days, Old Man Chen was covered in mud and wet at any time. This is because the paddy fields are soaked with water first, and then the fields are cultivated.
Afraid that the moisture would soak into his bones, as soon as Old Man Chen came back, Xiaoxi asked him to take a hot bath, even if it was summer, and then drink a glass of medicinal wine.
After the paddy fields were completed, we began to plant the seedlings.
Because the young laborers have gone out, there are some old and young people left in the family, and everyone takes care of their own families, so it is difficult to ask for help now.
On the afternoon of the first day when the good days were decided, Boss Chen returned.
I didn't notify him last time I beat rapeseed, forget it, anyway, this job is quite easy, this time, he said hello to his mother-in-law early, and he must be informed.
Knowing that his family was going to plant seedlings, he and his coach took a day off. I came back after class.
Early in the morning, before dawn, everyone got up. The sister and brother were also called to get up and pull the seedlings.
Wang Aihua was persuaded by everyone to go back to bed and continue to sleep, and now in this situation, she can't see the road clearly, and when it is dawn, she will get up again to help them cook breakfast.
Before breakfast, at this time, the family squatted or sat in the seedling field and pulled the seedlings.
Seeing Wang Aihua appear on the road, Old Man Chen said to Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi ......"
"Hmm. ”
"I'm going back to cooking breakfast with your grandmother. ”
"Oh. Xiaoxi handed half a handful of seedlings to Chen Yubin, got up and clapped his hands and went back.
After breakfast, he started to act according to the assignment just now by Old Man Chen.
Because there were enough seedlings pulled in the morning, no one was left to pull the seedlings at home, and they all went to plant seedlings. None of them were spared, and all of them carried a load of seedlings up the mountain.
Because after Boss Chen got married, Mr. Chen split up, and it happened that he also came back today, so they divided into two waves and planted the seedlings in their own fields.
There were four people on their side, so Chen Yubin followed Old Man Chen.
Place the basket on the edge of the field and throw the seedlings into the field evenly.
After taking off their shoes and holding the rope, several people went down to the field.
Boss Chen and Luo Guihua had already stretched the rope, and when they turned around, they saw that Xiaoxi was still standing at the edge of the field.
"Xiaoxi, what are you doing? Hurry up and come down, this baby is really touching the cotton (touching the cotton means grinding and slowing). Saying that, Luo Guihua scooped up a handful of seedlings from his side and untied the rice grass.
No, Xiaoxi had to pull up his pants and go down.
At this moment, the sun has not yet come out. As soon as one of the creek's feet stepped into the mud, he felt a chill penetrate his skin, and he shivered, and withdrew his foot.
"Oh, this water is so cold, wait a minute, I'll come down when the heat is warm." Xiaoxi explained to Luo Guihua.
"You......" Luo Guihua smiled dotingly at her, "That's good, I'll see what you will say later." ”
"Hehe......" Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly, bent down to wash the mud off her right foot, and put her shoes back on. Find a random place to sit, listen to the song and eat.
It seemed to be a little sunburned, and the stream took refuge in the shade.
"Xiaoxi, should it be hot now?" Luo Guihua straightened his waist to relieve the soreness. Feeling the heat of the sun, he remembered the stream that was still at the edge of the field, so he said jokingly.
Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, slowly packed up his things, got up, took off his shoes and pulled his pants into the water. Just took two steps, "Oh, Mom, it's going to be sunny." With that, he went ashore.
"Hee...... You are so interesting, just now you said that the water is cold and you have to wait for the heat to be warm, and now the heat is warm, and you say that the sun is shining. Luo Guihua said with a smile.
"Hahaha......" Boss Chen on the side couldn't help laughing, and concluded, "You're just lazy." ”
Xiaoxi is really embarrassed now, she doesn't want to shirk it like this, she is lazy, and the most important thing is that she is afraid of water.
I remember once she saw a snake in the weir pond, according to Zhao Juan, it was a water snake that could move in the water. There were still leeches in the water, and since then she has felt that her whole person is going to be bad.
She was afraid to go into the water, especially the muddy water that couldn't see the bottom clearly, and she always felt that there was something underneath.
When I was a child, the main laborers in the family were only Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, so she had to go to the field to plant seedlings. No matter how scared you are, you have to endure it, otherwise you will be beaten.
However, to be honest, she has not been beaten by the two old men, but she has been scolded by Granny Chen and criticized by Old Man Chen.
Oh, it's not about this, it's mainly about saying that in the past, it was forced to plant seedlings in the field, but now, with our own parents here, we are not afraid.
Therefore, Xiaoxi continued to stay at the edge of the field with a dead face, and did not go down.
Luo Guihua and his family didn't really want the creek to come down and plant seedlings, it was enough to have the two of them, and the creek coming down didn't necessarily slow them down. She just wanted to tease her.
Xiaoxi smiled a cheeky "hehe", washed his feet, and sat back down.
This field is less than an acre, and the two of them planted it in more than an hour, so they changed places.
"Xiaoxi, it's okay if you don't plant seedlings, you go back and carry seedlings for us, should this be okay?" Luo Guihua looked at the few seedlings in the field, turned his head and said to Xiaoxi.
"Yes, very much. Xiaoxi heard Luo Guihua's words, and immediately got up, picked up his back and ran home.
In the morning, the seedlings that everyone pulled were not finished, so they were placed in a cool place on the edge of the ground.
"Grandma?" Xiaoxi stood on the road and looked at an old lady sitting in the field below, pulling seedlings. The movement is a little slow, as if I am afraid of tearing off.
"Grandma, why are you pulling seedlings?" Xiaoxi quickly ran to Wang Aihua's side, took off the straw hat on his head and put it on her.
With such a big sun, I don't know how to wear a hat. took out another handkerchief, which she made herself, and handed it to Wang Aihua, "Grandma, take the handkerchief and wipe the sweat on your face." ”
"Hey...... The creek is back. Wang Aihua reached out to take the handkerchief, and paused halfway before she remembered the mud on her hands. "The mud in my hand, take care of it, it'll be fine in a while. ”
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Xiaoxi panicked for her, put her back on her back, squatted down, straightened her arms and wiped it for her.
Wang Aihua's body stiffened, she was a little unaccustomed to it, and she wanted to hide back, but she was dragged by Xiaoxi by her sleeve and didn't dodge.
"Grandma, why did you come down?" This slope is more than two meters high, and it is still a little steep, how did she come down when there is no one at home.
"I came down on my own. ”
"You came down on your own? What if you don't step on such a high slope and fall? Besides, these seedlings will be enough in the morning, and you don't need to pull them, you just stay at the top of the house until you get up." ”
"I'm not fine. There's nothing to do alone in the house, so I'd like to help you guys for a while. ”
"Alright, let's go, go back. Xiaoxi stood up, hugged Wang Aihua's arm, and dragged her up, "You stay at home alone, and I don't feel at ease here." ”
Seeing what Wang Aihua was going to say, Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "I must call you when we come back to pull the seedlings in the afternoon, okay? Now go back, I want to boil mung bean soup, you help me make the pot, ah?"
"Hmm. Wang Aihua followed her.
"Come on, slow down. ”
