Chapter 174: Harvest Season

The billet army fought for a week, and the grass around the loess pit was covered with adobe, not to mention forty or fifty thousand pieces. This chapter is available online by Chinese Net

Captain Li and the others also encountered such a big formation for the first time, and they all said that even if they built a new house for the fat man, it would be enough. The fat man saw that the time was approaching the twentieth, and his heart became more and more anxious.

According to the practice of this place, the early start of the school year, the early vacation, the short summer vacation, the long winter vacation, and the two meals in the winter can be regarded as local characteristics.

August 20th is the day of school, if the big pigtails don't come by then, it means that she must have been admitted to college.

On this day, it has come to the 19th, the fat man is barefoot, holding a wooden shovel, present: seeds, piles of grass seeds are made into a ridge by ridge, so that compared with tiling, it can increase the area of drying, and it is conducive to ventilation, which belongs to the wisdom summed up by farmers.

"Uncle Fat, I'm back" A crisp voice came, and as soon as the fat man looked up, he saw Xiao Qiqi, who was wearing a new dress, waving his hand over there.

"Where's your little sister sister?" The fat man saw that only Qiqi was alone, and his heart sank, and a bad feeling came to his heart.

Qiqi rubbed the grass seeds with his little feet and turned the ridge into a ditch: "Sister Xiaoyu is packing up her things?"

The fat man's heart was cold, and his head was a little confused: "Did you get in?"

"I was admitted, Sister Xiaoyu is so smart, of course she can be admitted. Kiki said with wide eyes.

When the fat man fell, the wooden shovel in his hand fell and smashed on the face of his feet, and then the whole person sat on the ground with a pop: it was over, and what he feared most finally became a reality.

"Fat uncle. Why are you stupid?" Kiki ran over. The little hand shook in front of the fat man's eyes: "Hee-hee." Although Sister Xiaoyu was admitted. But didn't go. ”

The little guy is obviously making fun of the fat man. So play the trick of first suppressing and then rising. Definitely deliberately.

The fat man swooped up from the ground. Run away. Kiki picked up a pair of cloth shoes from the ground. In the back shouted: "Shoes fat uncle shoes!"

The fat man carried Kiki. Running home at a gallop. Take a look through the door. Big pigtails are boiling water on the edge of the pot. Hurriedly grabbed her arm: "Xiaoyu." You're back. ”

Big braids said. The fat man then understood. Dare to love her, she was really admitted to the provincial city normal university. But. The big braid didn't report to duty in the end. Instead, he chose a secondary normal class organized by the county to study.

Because the state should vigorously carry out education. Therefore, many counties have set up normal classes. Take advantage of the winter and summer vacations to study. Most of the members are also in-service teachers.

The fat man couldn't help but smack his lips after hearing this: "Xiaoyu, the normal university is a university, and this middle normal is one level worse than others." ”

The pigtailed eyes narrowed into two thin lines: "Brother Huang, if you are willing to ask me to go, then I will go to college." ”

"Don't don't, this is the best ending now. "The fat man's heart is so bright, since the big braid took the college entrance examination, the fat man has been thinking about this, and now he has finally come out.

Happy is happy, but the fat man knows that it is not fair to the big braid to be admitted to college and then turn back to study in the normal school, so he grabbed the hand of the big braid and was reluctant to let go: "Xiaoyu, what are you talking about, you don't even study college for me, I"

The fat man was just about to express his determination, but suddenly remembered that there was a small light bulb next to him, so he had to stop the conversation, and he was full of energy.

The big pigtail blushed slightly: "Stinky beauty, who is for you, if it weren't for these babies in the village and Qiqi, I wouldn't have come back." ”

"Hehe, yes, it's okay, then I'll cook, Qiqi, you can eat whatever you want, even if you want to eat tiger meat, Uncle Fat will call you now." "The fat man is full of energy, and he really has the strength to go up the mountain and catch the dragon in the sea.

"Hmph, blame Uncle for being bad, don't eat Weiwei!" Qiqi took it seriously, clenching his little fist and waving it in front of his eyes.

In the evening, the old revolutionary came back from a stroll in the deer farm, and sniffed as soon as he entered the door: "Why is it so fragrant, haha, Xiaoyu is back, it's good to come back, there are no women, this is not called home." ”

The table is full of plates, including pot-wrapped meat specially fried for Qiqi, as well as pine nut corn, which is the favorite of big braids, and of course, pork stewed vermicelli, which is the most proud of the old revolution.

"Today is a good day, drink more, Xiaoyu, pour me three taels. "The old revolutionary also understands that the big pigtails are back, which proves that she is not going to college, and she is happy for this pair.

On this day, the fat man drank less than a bottle of wine, and as a result, he was so drunk that he didn't know anything, and he couldn't even go to the deer farm, so he lay down on the kang and slept all night.

When he woke up the next day, he wondered to himself: Usually it's not a pound and a half. Later, when I thought about it, I understood, I dare to be happy and drunk.

Life has returned to peace, and ordinary days are called life if they can have a good time. This is what the fat man enjoys now.

In addition to the backing hills, there are also some gratifying changes, the county's construction company has sent people to survey the road, and the electricity bureau is also preparing for construction, because the power poles will run along the side of the road.

Thinking that they can light the electric lights this winter and say goodbye to the oil lamps and foreign wax that have been used for decades, the villagers in the backing mountains are more energetic, and every household is sharpening their knives and preparing for the autumn harvest.

The first thing to do is to start potatoes, although the fat man's family has no land, but he is not idle, how can he be said to be the number one strong laborer without doing farm work.

Early in the morning, fat

When the boss of the car arrived, he beckoned at the gate: "Fatty, help our family up today."

The fat man said yes in the house, then put on his coat and went out. Hulala followed the team behind, three hairy monkeys and a bear cub.

Because Qiqi went to school, it was not autumn yet, and the school had not yet had a busy farm holiday, so these guys had no master, and they basically messed with fat people every day.

The carriage was already waiting at the door, with a plow and a roll of marijuana bags on it, on which several women sit, each carrying a basket of earth in the crook of his arm.

"Fatty, you have a lot of helpers, and you will help our family pick up potatoes tomorrow. Bigfoot also sat in the car, watching the fat man hug back and forth, and couldn't help laughing.

"Cheng, just take care of the rice, Da Mao Ermao and Mao Mao are both stubble, so it's a little troublesome to be stupid, and you still eat milk, I don't know if you have milk, sister-in-law?"

"Fatty, don't call the number, believe it or not, we can feed you with one mouthful. "There was a little daughter-in-law next to her who helped out, her baby was only five years old, and she really hadn't been weaned.

It is said that in rural areas, babies are born densely, and it is not uncommon to give birth to one in two years and two in three years. Some little babies love milk, and they haven't quit at the age of seven or eight, and when they come home from school, they pull their younger siblings apart and go up to wrap them in two mouthfuls.

As soon as the fat man saw that these old ladies were going to move seriously, he immediately stopped, first hugged the stupid to the car, this little guy was familiar, full of cars, and finally arched into the arms of the noisy daughter-in-law just now, ** twisted back and forth, chirping in his mouth, probably really smelled milk.

The three hairy monkeys didn't need to be greeted by the fat man, they jumped into the carriage and sat down on the sack in a decent manner, each holding a small basket in their hands, quite like that.

The owner of the car shook his pigtails, and the carriage rumbled out of the backing mountain. The fields are already yellow and red, showing that this is the harvest season.

The sorghum field is red, the millet is yellow, and the ears are drooping. The bud rice is still standing straight, but the leaves have also turned yellow, and the shakuhachi-long bud rice stick looks particularly eye-catching, and the bud beard on it has dried up, indicating that the bud rice will be ready soon.

The harvested wheat field has been turned up, and there are occasional clumps of green wheat seedlings on it, which are the sprouts of wheat grains that have fallen into the soil. It is a rare green color in autumn, adding a touch of vitality to the mature and stable earth.

When they got to the ground, they unloaded the horses and put them on the plow, the owner of the car led the horses, and the fat man supported the plough behind, and broke the ridges, and the fist-sized potatoes showed smiling faces inside.

The potatoes are densely covered with a layer of fine grains, and the common people call this "pockmark", and such potatoes are more noodles. Because there was no waterlogging and rain this autumn, the field was very dry, and there was no mud on the potatoes at all.

The women took the three-foot scratchers and picked the potatoes in the back, and the hairy old man also turned around and picked the potatoes into the basket, and then poured them into a large pile. They are quick with their hands and feet, and their brothers can hold up a half labor.

Clumsy is the most leisurely, lying on a pile of potato seedlings, holding a big potato and gnawing on it, it has just erupted its teeth, and the potatoes gnaw out furrows.

Five acres of potatoes will be turned over in a while, and the car owner will find a wheat field, put the horse in it to gnaw the wheat seedlings, and then begin to bag.

Potatoes are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the smallest ones are kept for leakage and processed into vermicelli, the large ones are kept for their own consumption, and the medium ones can be sold for a part.

At this time, the fat man's strength was swung to the advantage, and the hemp bag of one hundred and fifty or sixty catties was carried by both hands and left. I saw that the old ladies were dizzy: the fat man is really energetic.

The boss of the car saw that there was no shortage of potatoes this year, and it was estimated that a car would not be able to pull it down, so he would transport it back first. The fat man became nothing, so he slipped into the bud rice field of the car boss's son's house, and after a while, he got a big hug of green bud rice.

Now this month, most of the buds are also old, but there are some green buds in the past, and there is an old saying in the crop field: autumn buds are more fragrant when they are ripe.

Peel off the green skin on the outside, stick the skewer on the bud rice stick, and then draw a pile of firewood, and the fat man is ready to roast the bud rice.

"Wait a minute, I'll get some soybeans!" Bigfoot found a depression, the beans have not yet been produced, and they can be used to burn and eat. When the fat man saw it, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but pat his thigh twice: "Why did you forget to cook some edamame to eat!"

"That piece belongs to the captain's house, and when I go back, I can order the pods. Bigfoot said with a smile.

"Then why don't you go to your field?" teased her.

"My family is a hill, and the beans are hard, so I can't eat them at all. "Bigfoot sister-in-law is really not careful, they are all from a village, breaking two ears of bud rice, picking a few potatoes or something, it's not a matter at all, the fat man's family has no land, and he has been eating the potatoes of the captain's family.

The fat man couldn't help but smile, lit the fire, and began to roast the bud rice. When the old brother Maomao saw it, he immediately skimmed the basket, and even jumped over, picked up the skewer, and burned the buds on the fire, which was actually decent.

Clumsy also rolled over like a ball, grabbed an ear of green bud rice and gnawed it. The sister-in-law couldn't help laughing: "Fatty, when you harvest buds in the coming year, you must lend me your stupid buds. ”

(National Day, salute everyone!)
