Today, with the rapid development of modernization, most of the rural areas have achieved mechanization. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, in this remote mountain village, because the mountains are many and narrow, it is impossible to carry out farmland transformation, so the people of Xiaolin Village still live in a primitive environment of ploughing the fields with oxen and plowing the fields, planting rice by hand, and carrying people on their shoulders.

Lin Gang took the earliest shuttle bus back home. My parents, brother and sister-in-law have already gone out to work, and there are only two children in the house, Ye Zi and Dunzi. Generally, in the countryside, when the guns are double-shot, they go out to work before dawn, come back at 10 or 11 o'clock, and then go out for a while in the evening, and will not go out from 11 o'clock at noon to 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so as to avoid exposure to the sun outside in the hottest hour of the weather, and reduce the degree of damage to the body caused by the scorching sun. Of course, this is not absolute, and some people who are very heat-resistant can still tolerate it.

Seeing that their uncle was back, Ye Zi and Dunzi happily ran down from the upper floor and greeted them. Lin Gang put down his luggage and held a small child in one hand: "Do you miss your uncle?"

Dunzi didn't think about it, his eyes were closed, his mouth was grinning, and he said happily: "Yes." ”

Ye Zi asked Lin Gang: "Uncle, why didn't Auntie come again?" It's been so long, and Auntie doesn't come to see Ye Zi, Ye Zi misses Aunt so much, Ye Zi sleeps watching the dolls that Auntie bought every day." ”

In a word, Lin Gang's sadness came from it, and he knew that the aunt Ye Zi said and hoped for was not Su E, but Yao Rou. The first is that Su E has never really met with her family, and the child does not have the slightest impression of Su E at all, and the second is that the plush doll was bought by Yao Rou for Ye Zi, and Ye Zi is regarded as a treasure.

Looking at Ye Zi's expectant gaze, Lin Gang was speechless, so he had to say to the child: "Uncle bought clothes for you, you come down and let Uncle get them for you." Since Yao Rou came to the house during the Spring Festival, improved the living conditions of the family, and eased some conflicts in the family, Lin Gang also wanted to open up, and treated the two nephews and nieces as if they were his own, so every time he came back, he never forgot to buy some clothes and other gifts for the children, including his nephew.

"Oh......., there's new clothes to wear. When the child heard that Lin Gang had bought new clothes, he happily got out of Lin Gang's arms, jumped up and down clapping, and shouted. Ye Zi forgot about the question just now, and happily watched Lin Gang take out the skirt she was wearing from her bag, stretched out her hand, and gestured on her body. And Dunzi was even more excited, and was about to take off his old clothes and clamoring to put on new clothes. Lin Gang touched Dunzi's head and said, "Dunzi is good, don't wear it now, wait until you take a bath at night, and it will look better to wear new clothes after taking a bath." ”

Although Dunzi obediently put on the old clothes from the new, he still wanted to put the new clothes on his body, so he raised his head and said to Lin Gang, "Uncle, why don't you bathe me now." This sentence made Lin Gang laugh, completely forgetting the unhappiness he encountered at Su E's house, and immediately nodded: "Okay, uncle will give you a bath, and you will wear new clothes after taking a bath." Dun Ziyou quickly stripped off his clothes again, and jumped up and down behind Lin Gang, Ye Zi kept scraping his face with his hands and shouted with a smile: "Shame, shame, shame." Dunzi deliberately turned his head and grimaced at his sister.

As soon as Lin finished bathing Dunzi and put on new clothes, he went to the pot and filled a bowl of porridge, ate it in a hurry, and then took the sickle and felt that the rice was being harvested in the field.

The time is still nine o'clock in the morning, and the weather begins to get hot, especially in the ridge fields between the two mountains, there is no cool breeze, and the rice fields to be harvested are also dry and cracked. The second elder of the Lin family cut the rice twice, and he was about to get up to wipe his sweat, and the clothes on his body were also dry and wet, wet and dry.

Mother Lin wiped her sweat, looked at the sky without a trace of clouds, and then looked at the rice field behind which only a small piece was cut, and sighed and said: "This ghost weather, there is no wind and clouds at all, and the ventilation is not smooth, his father, if you can't stand it, don't carry it, go back early, don't make people sick." ”

Father Lin stopped what he was doing, straightened his sore waist, beat his waist with his fist, looked at the sky as well, and looked at a large piece of rice standing in front of him and said: "Old woman, the weather is too hot, and there is no trace of wind, you are not in good health, or you go back, I don't care, you can cut it for a while, go back now, I don't know when I can finish cutting." ”

While the second elder was talking, Lin Gang came to the field and called "Mom and Dad". Seeing that it was Lin Gang, Mother Lin hurriedly returned to the ridge and asked, "Why did you come back, how did the business in the county go?"

"Mom, I've already made arrangements, come back to help you do a few days of work, didn't you call Dad the day before yesterday, Dad didn't tell you?" Lin Gang looked at his sweaty mother and stepped forward to wipe his mother's sweat.

"Oh, Gangzi is back, I don't think you will be able to come back for a while, so I didn't tell your mother, but you said that you would come. After Father Lin explained to Lin Gang, he said to Mother Lin: "Mother, since Gangzi is back, you can go back, and I will go back after cutting Gangzi for a while." ”

"Well, if you can't stand it, go back, don't hold on. Mother Lin responded happily, picked up the plastic bottle that had been put at the foot of the He Dou and drank the water, and turned around and said, "If you can't stand it, go back early." ”

Although Lin Gang has been working outside for so many years, he has not lost his farm work, because in the past ten years, he has also come back intermittently to help the family with two guns, so the farm work is done quickly and well.

I saw his sickle flying, and after a while, the rice field arrived in a large area, and Father Lin looked at his son who was immersed in harvesting, wiped the sweat on his face, rubbed his waist, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs comfortably.

Lin Gang finished cutting a sequence, and when he turned around to cut a sequence, he looked up and saw his father looking at him lovingly, and also saw his father constantly beating his waist, so he came to his father's side: "Dad, you can rest, or you go back first, I can cut it alone." ”

"Gangzi, it's better to be a helper than a fast hand, I won't help you with a hand, no matter how fast you are, you can do it alone, I can still do it, my old bones have also survived decades of beating, it's okay, while it's not hot now, I can't stand it, and I'll go back after cutting it for a while." Father Lin thumped his waist again and bent down to work.

Under the scorching sun, the father and son harvested with a sickle, and soon most of the rice fields were cut off.

At this time, the sun was getting more and more scorching, the surrounding trees did not move, the leaves were roasted by the sun, there was no life in sight, and the ground was also hot. Father Lin looked around, and there was no one else around except their father and son. opened his mouth and said to Lin Gang: "Gangzi, it's too hot, let's go home too, you see, the people around can't stand it and go home, don't get heat stroke." ”

Lin Gang got up and looked at the small piece of rice that was still left, and said, "Dad, you can take a break, go to the small spring and fill a bottle of mountain spring water for me to drink, the water in the small spring in front of you is cold and sweet, and it quenches my thirst." ”

"Hey, I'll go over and bottle water, so you can rest for a while. Father Lin also told Lin Gang while walking: "You don't do much farming, you won't be able to stand it for a long time." ”

"It doesn't matter, this little work is nothing, you go and fetch water, when the water comes, I will rest again, drink the mountain spring, cut this rice field, and we will go home for dinner." With that, he bent down and waved his sickle again.

Doing farm work at home, although it is hard and tiring, Lin Gang's mood is quite happy. After returning home, the distress caused by Su Ji was swept away. Su Ji's greed, Su Hu's viciousness, and Su E's madness, all of these flowed into the fields with sweat, leaving a short period of calm and the joy of harvest. People in the countryside have a complex that urban people cannot understand, that is, they have a deep affection for their own land, a natural affinity for the crops that grow on their land, and their worship of the land is equivalent to the worship of God, or even higher than the worship of God. In the face of the crops growing on their own land, even if these crops are not worth a few dollars, they will regard these crops as treasures and as their own children, this is when Lin Gang was doing business in the county, he was reluctant to go out in the hot weather, but he came to his home, came to the rice field, in such a hot day, the ravines and ravines that were hotter than the county seat, he still sweated and harvested the joy without fear of the heat, which is the true color of a farmer.

Father Lin came back with a bottle of mountain spring water: "Gangzi, come, rest for a while, and drink the sweet mountain spring." Father Lin's face was full of wrinkles, and he opened the bottle cap with a smile and handed it to Lin Gang.

Lin Gang straightened up, wiped the sweat on his face, took the bottle handed over by his father, the cold of the spring water was in the palm of his hand, he felt a burst of coolness, he raised his neck and drank half of the bottle of spring water in one gulp. Father Lin told Lin Gang on the side: "Gangzi, drink slowly, don't choke." ”

Lin Gang saw that most of the water had been drunk, and handed the water to his father a little embarrassed: "Dad, you can drink a little too." ”

Father Lin smiled and said, "Child, I have drunk enough in the forest, and my stomach is full of water, so you should drink it." ”

Lin Gang raised his neck again and drank all the water.
