Tang Tang made an excuse and hurriedly rushed to the old locust tree with a hoe, only to see a cat and an old dog jumping out of the grass.

She was stunned for a moment, and her pace slowed down involuntarily, and she suddenly felt that the light yellow cat was a little eye-catching. But when you look at its movements and listen to its tone, it's not a little milk cat!

"Tang Tang!" The little milk cat rushed over excitedly, jumped into her arms in three steps and two steps, and pounced on her. "Hey, hey, miss me?"

Tang Tang's eyes were crooked with a smile, and when he touched his light yellow hair, he found that some of the hairs were stripped and tangled together, which showed that he had suffered a lot in the mountains, and he didn't have time to take a bath. She couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with your hair, how long has it been since you bathed?" ”

As soon as the little milk cat heard her question, she immediately raised her little head triumphantly and said proudly, "Is it good-looking?" This color is bright, I deliberately made it a protective color! ”

“？” Tang Tang looked at it suspiciously.

I saw the little milk cat smile and said: "There is a wild apricot forest on the mountain, all of them are ripe, the apricots crackle and fall to the ground and rot into puree, I went in and rolled, and found that all the gray hair on my body has become this color, but I am happy!" Now, no matter if it's a fat person or anyone's guarantee, they won't recognize me! ”

It cocked its tail happily and handed her the apricot-colored fur, which made Tang Tang couldn't help but smile.

The little milk cat said, "By the way, Uncle Sha and I also brought some back to you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the old dog dragging a bag of things to her feet. Tang Tang opened it and saw that it was full of shelled almonds. Although the wild almonds are not large, they are full and well-preserved, which shows that it took a lot of thought.

Tang Tang couldn't help but be a little moved, and immediately said, "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what?" The little milk cat waved her paws and meowed, "We ate a round belly there, if it weren't for Uncle Sha saying that the fruit would be spoiled when he brought it back, I would have to let you taste the sweet and sour red apricots in the mountains!" ”

It held its little head high, like a general who had returned from a victorious battle, as if he had taken the wild apricot forest as his own belonging, which made people can't help but laugh.

However, when the old dog saw it, he couldn't help but pour cold water on it, "Come on, don't show off!" Come back and restrain a little, and let people catch the handle, but the gods can't save you! ”

The little milk cat snorted unconvinced, "I was unlucky last time, and I definitely won't be next time." ”

In the face of the little milk cat and the old dog, Tang Tang did not expose Lu Xiangyang and the old captain's planting in the end. Because she knew that as soon as this insider/story was exposed, according to the impulsive temper of the little milk cat, she would definitely be furious and rush directly to settle accounts with the two.

And once a cat is facing a master, how can it be reasonable? Looking back, it's not that the little milk cat has suffered much in the end.

Therefore, she thought about it a few times, and hid the matter for the time being, but just told the little milk cat to avoid people and pay attention to safety.

However, as the weather became hotter and hotter, the people in the brigade had long forgotten about the little milk cat. All eyes were fixed on the vast fields of ripe wheat, and they looked happily at the golden wheat fields, which rolled into waves in the wind. This is a sign that the harvest season is coming.

"Come, a sickle for each person, a harvesting belt, all raise their spirits! This year's ration depends on this harvest! The old captain shouted loudly, and the sickles were sent down one by one, and the plots were clearly divided, and even the five young men who went to the countryside from the city were each assigned a sickle.

"Five of you come here!" The old captain gathered them together, personally handed over the wheat cutting to the five men one by one, making sure that each of them would not be cut by the sickle, and then led them to a small plot of land at the edge of the wheat field.

The other 100 or so people in the brigade had already dispersed into the wheat field where there was no head or tail, and in an instant they were like ants entering the grass, and they couldn't see their bodies at all. A few of them only felt that the scorching sun was on their heads, and their cheeks were hot and their whole bodies were hot.

"Come, this is your harvest." The old captain gave each of the five people a trip to the wheat field, and craned his neck to see the end far away. "You're new and you're not familiar with farm work, so the harvest is a little smaller for you, but you can't lag behind!"

The old captain beat the side drum and reminded: "Whether this year's harvest is good or not, it all depends on the efforts of the past few days, no one should be lazy, and the last person must be publicly reviewed at the team meeting." ”

As soon as Tang Tang and the others heard this, they were immediately tightened the string in their minds, and nodded in unison. The old captain watched them harvest the wheat for a while, and seeing that they were not on a business trip, he got up and left.

As soon as he left, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Through the tall ears of wheat, I couldn't see a figure left and right, only heard Pang Yingwu's tired voice coming out from the side, "Hey, I'm tired of the master, my arms are numb, no, I have to rest." ”

Tang Tang and the others did not respond to him, and their subordinates were all brandishing sickles, bending over to cut wheat one by one, but they did not dare to stop. But not long after, I heard a snoring sound from the other end of the wheat field, so loud that it was like thunder, close to everyone's ears.

Immediately, Wang Min couldn't help but scolded loudly from afar, "Dead fat pig!" ”

Quietly in the secluded wheat field, Tang Tang glanced at the sun, sat down and wiped his sweat, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wrapped it tightly around the handle of the sickle. Between the movements just now, not only did the moisture on her body lose quickly, but the large beads of sweat penetrated her back like rain, and she felt that her hands were hot and red.

And the wheat field she cut has just walked out not far away, which shows that it is not easy to cut wheat. She just sat down and rested for a while, when she saw the little milk cat happily jumping out of the wheat field, "Tang Tang! ”

Tang Tang was taken aback, and saw that its pale yellow fur was reflected in the golden wheat field, blending into one, without any trace, and it was impossible to find its traces if his eyes were not good. "What are you doing here?"

The little milk cat held a few heavy ears of wheat in her mouth, and danced with her hands: "This is also our harvest season, whether you can fill your stomach in winter depends on the work of these days!" ”

Tang Tang: "......"

"Hurry! Hey, don't play, hurry up and transport food! The gray sparrow came out of the air with a few grains of wheat, followed by a group of sparrows, and became a transport team. After a closer look, Tang Tang found that they each held a pile of wheat grains in each of their two paws.

"I can't fly—" cried a chubby sparrow at the end of the group, and saw that its wings were getting lower and lower, and it was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, the gray sparrow couldn't help but turn around and take it with him, and said viciously: "Snort, tell you to eat less just now!" Well, the food in my hand is not as much as I can eat in my stomach! ”

The fat sparrow shrank his stomach in shame, flapping his wings a few times, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full, I'll definitely do it!" ”

"It's done, it's done!" The grey sparrow flew back to the front of the group, leading the way, guiding the sparrows to hide their food in hidden places. This look of working together and working hard couldn't help but make Tang Tang give a thumbs up.

Even the old dog was in a hurry and was busy moving food. Although cats and dogs do not eat unhulled wheat kernels as their main food, when they are hungry and empty, how can they care so much? A few years ago, in the years of great/famine/famine, the old dog even grabbed the forage with the horse, and was almost kicked by the horse's hooves and rolled over, but he lived by eating grass roots and chewing tree sap.

Tang Tang was not idle, after a short rest, she buried her head in cutting the wheat again, but she didn't expect that when the sky was dark and the work was finished, she suddenly found that this day was the most harvested by herself.

Pang Yingwu didn't say anything, and spent most of his time lying on a few stubble wheat stalks and sleeping. Wang Min and Sun Shuping are not strong, they work for a while and rest for a while, and naturally there are not too many harvests. And the most surprising thing is that Lu Xiangyang's progress is also average, and he barely follows behind Tang Tang.

That night, the old captain praised her as a model of labor, and specially asked the canteen to give her three steamed buns with rye noodles and eat them to her heart's content.

This immediately attracted the envy and jealousy of everyone.

"Tang Tang, have you eaten so much? I can't eat, my brother will help you solve it! Pang Yingwu smiled shyly, without a trace of embarrassment.

Tang Tang shook his head quickly, grabbed the steamed bun into his hand, and gulped down the pickles and soup, eating very happily. "Give me three more, and I'll be able to eat too!"

Seeing that he couldn't shake her mind, Pang Yingwu immediately changed his rhetoric again, "Hey, girls will get fat if they eat so much!" ”

As a result, as soon as he said this, the cafeteria immediately erupted in laughter.

"It's a blessing to be fat these days!"

"That's right, whoever can marry a fat daughter-in-law will definitely be able to hold a big grandson!"

"Hey, what about marrying a fat boy—?"

Everyone squeezed their eyebrows at each other, showed a tacit smile towards Pang Yingwu, and laughed out loud. Even if Pang Yingwu is thick-skinned, he can't help but get off the stage amid laughter.

His face was composed, and he couldn't help but want to say a sentence back. Unexpectedly, as soon as the thought came to him, a steamed bun suddenly fell from the sky and directly plugged his mouth.

"Less talk, not enough to eat me."
