Chapter 13: Eating on the Ground

"Li Zhibing is two years older than us, but he didn't study," An Cuiwen said with a sympathetic expression on his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why? Aren't they having a better time in Yoshida Village than we are? An Jiajia can't understand, isn't it good to advocate reading at this time? Could she be mistaken?

"Their family was originally not bad, but he was miserable because his grandparents didn't like him. He was born at the end of the year, and I don't remember the exact number. Generally, when a boy is born in the Chinese New Year's Eve, he can get the pork of the 'Taigong', Li Zhibing was the latest child born in Yoshida Village that year, and naturally the pork was the last, but in the end, he sent his family to nothing, his grandparents went to the door to scold and make trouble, and the village chief had no face, so he simply ignored them. ”

"So his grandparents don't like him?"

"Yes, I was looking forward to eating some meat during the New Year all year round, but the pork delivered to the door was gone, they must be angry, his family thought he was an unlucky ghost, so he was more miserable," An Cuiwen didn't say something, but An Jiajia understood.

"It's not his fault, why do you want to do this to him?" An Jiajia really can't understand how the human brain here is structured.

An Cuiwen talked to An Jiajia for a while and went home, so that the good weather naturally had to turn over the rice several times, so that it could be evenly dried and dried. An Jiajia also wore a straw hat and a rake to turn over the rice, and her feet were itchy and uncomfortable when she stepped on the rice.

The yard is not particularly large, but compared to Anjiajia's original home without a yard, it is already very large, and the rice is dried in a thick layer, so it must be turned over frequently. Drinking saliva, An Jiajia continued to sit under the wall in a daze, she didn't expect that Li Zhibing's life experience was also quite miserable.

She remembered that day when he talked about the situation in his village, he still had a proud expression on his face, and she thought that he was relying on his family to get so angry, but it turned out to be a fox and a fake tiger. But it's right to think about it, he himself said that he would only follow him when he was stopped when he went back that night, so is he often bullied?

An Jiajia thinks that Li Zhibing is not a bad boy, and his little insect carving skills can scare him, he is simply an ignorant and simple little child! The anger provoked by Li Zhibing that day disappeared all at once, and An Jiajia even felt that she shouldn't bully him like this, after all, she was more than ten years older than him!

An Jiahe came back after a trip, and almost as soon as she came back with her front foot, An Guodong entered the courtyard door with her back foot, "Dad! An Jiajia shouted, and An Jiahe, who was drinking water in the house, also ran out, "Dad! ”

"Are you obedient?" An Guodong's shirt was almost soaked, but he smiled very brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and An Jiajia was almost flashed in the eyes.

"Yes, Daddy drinks water!" An Jiahe came over with a water cup, "Have you dug up all the peanuts?" ”

"There is still half of it, I will pour the peanuts into the backyard, you pick the peanuts to dry, you can pick and choose," An Guodong picked two baskets of peanuts to the backyard after drinking the water, and by the way saw if the chickens and ducks were locked in the cage.

An Jiahe and An Jiajia wore straw hats and sat next to the peanut pile with a small stool, An Guodong saw them working obediently, looked up at the blue sky, and made sure that it would not rain before continuing to work in the field.

After the peanuts were dug up, the leaves on the top had been cut off, and a lot of the soil underneath had been shaken off, so all they had to do was to pick the peanuts and dry them. An Jiajia picked it for a while, her palms hurt terribly, and her neck and waist were tired, so she stood up and moved.

An Jiahe is very serious about her work, and she is skilled and does not complain about being tired, An Jiajia is not lazy, she sits back and continues to work, but she has not forgotten that the rice is still drying in the front yard, and she goes over to dry it from time to time, and remembers to look at the sky, in case it rains, it will be bad.

The labor force of the settlement family is not built, and it takes half a day to dig up the peanuts. Because of a hard day yesterday, An Jiajia went home, and after lunch, he began to clean up the peanuts in the backyard, and at this time, An Jiajia and An Jiahe only picked a quarter of the peanuts.

The family picked the peanuts in the backyard, and there were sounds such as "it's raining" and "there were dark clouds" outside, and the whole family immediately felt like a great enemy, with brooms, plank rakes, and dustpans, and everyone immediately went to the front to prepare to harvest the rice.

"Wait!" An Guodong looked up at the sky, and saw a dark cloud floating out of the back mountain, not big, a small one, but the dark cloud is a class enemy in the hearts of the people who are drying rice, and the six pairs of eyes of the whole family are staring at the dark cloud in the sky, watching it slowly drift with the wind.

"Gordon, will it rain?" An Jiajia turned her head to look, but she didn't see anyone, and the sound should have come from the courtyard next door.

"I don't know, let's see!" An Guodong stared at the dark clouds and responded.

"As long as it floats far away, it won't rain!" An Jiajia heard a voice again, but it was a little quieter than the voice just now, it should have come from the courtyard a little farther away.

An Jiajia watched everyone standing in the yard, all of them looking up at the sky, if there was a second floor here, she really wanted to run up and take a look, at this moment, everyone in the yard of every household must be standing like this and looking at the sky, it feels funny to think about it.

In the nervous eyes of everyone, the small dark cloud drifted away like this, and the sun was so brilliant from beginning to end, it was not affected at all. "Go back, it's okay," An Guodong breathed a sigh of relief and asked his family to go back to the house.

An Guodong has been sitting under the wall, for fear that God will shed a few tears. But when the evening came, it suddenly began to rain in the sky that had been dyed red by the setting sun, and everyone hurried to harvest the rice and peanuts.

An Guodong took a plank rake and quickly pulled the rice to the middle, and An Yingying and An Yingyong followed An Guodong with a broom to sweep up the fallen rice. He Xianglan took An Jia and An Jiajia to harvest peanuts, the peanuts had only been dried all afternoon, and they were very wet, and there was no problem if they were drizzled.

It was the first time for An Jiajia to be so nervous, as if these peanuts on the ground would die if they were drenched by rain, she didn't dare to delay at all, and her movements were so fast that she couldn't imagine at all. When everyone surrounded the rice and peanuts and covered them with nylon plastic sheeting, those few drops of golden beans were still falling from the sky.

An Jiajia felt that God was just playing with them, and if a few drops of rain were not collected, they would definitely get wet, but if they were collected, they would be tormented. The most gritting thing is that the rain stops when the yard floor is wet, so they can't continue to dry, which is really infuriating.

This is the first time that An Jiajia realized that being a farmer is not only about physical strength, but also about having a strong heart, because they are people who rely on the land to eat.
