The rice sown by other people's families has begun to be harvested, and those old men who cut the rice saw that the rice field of the grandfather of the Wang family was obviously different from theirs.

Their rice seedlings are short and weak, the ears are short, and the rice particles are small.

The rice seedlings of my grandfather's family are tall and stout, the ears are long, and the particles are large and full.

Although there were still a few days to be harvested, the ears of rice, hanging heavily with their heads bent, could be seen that the harvest was far better than theirs, more than one or two percent.

When almost every man passed by the rice field of his grandfather's house, he had to bend down, squat, and carefully reach out to turn the heavy ears of rice upside down. While gently upside down, I looked at the full particles with envy.

Secretly, I decided that the late rice seedling raising was delayed because I didn't see the harvest at the end, and next year I would follow my grandfather's family to do seedling transplanting.

At the uncle's house, everyone had already had dinner, and when it was almost dark, Xiaohu and they came home from hunting.

Obediently, several people carried, carried, dragged, and scattered on the ground, occupying half of the front yard.

Erya frowned, and said to them in a reproachful tone: "Why don't you have a score? On such a hot day, just get a few of your own food and give it to people, why do you want to catch it? If you catch it in the fall, you can grow fatter and stronger! ”

Several people squeezed their eyebrows and blamed each other, but they didn't dare to pick up the stubble. Although Erya pushed the position of being a family member, her family respected her as much as a family member.

The eldest aunt was busy playing a round game, pulling the dead chickens and dead rabbits while laughing: "Niece and daughter-in-law! No more, no more! You see that your mother's family wants to send it, my mother's family also wants to send it, your second aunt's family also wants to send it, the sixth grandfather's family wants to send it, her second aunt and several daughters' families have to send it, and the Zhuangzi family has to send some, and you have to invite someone. There's not much left to mess around! ”

The uncle was also busy speaking for a few children: "That's right! That's right! These two wild boars look much smaller than last year, and there is not much to give to Zhuangzili and relatives.

These chickens and rabbits, there are not many relatives to send them, and the master bricklayer also has to send a few catties of pork. They borrowed my fish cage before, got fish, and gave us a lot of it, and we should send them some game this time. ”

Erya's original intention was to let them not hunt too much, but fortunately, rabbits, pheasants, and wild boars are not extinct species, so let them go!

The second uncle suddenly pointed to a small white thing and said in surprise: "Huh! Is this a fox? ”

Erya stepped forward and flipped the dead fox with her foot. He asked commendally, "Who shot this fox?" Awesome! Kill with one arrow. ”

Xiaohu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "I accidentally shot to death." I was going to shoot it in the leg and bring it back to the little dragon to keep it to play with, but I didn't know that this thing suddenly stood up, and as soon as I was nervous, I shot the arrow out, and it ended up shooting in its throat. Then it fell to the ground and died after a few struggles. ”

Laizi suddenly exclaimed, "I said! I've been wondering how the hell you got an arrow into the fox's throat from the front? I'm thinking of practicing this stunt with you tomorrow! ”

The second uncle smiled and said, "Then you have to practice more!" ”

Laizi nodded and said as a matter of course: "Of course, we won't practice one day!" We're still practicing sparring every day! ”

The second aunt called them: "It's so late, what are you talking about?" If you don't hurry up, pack up the torch, clean it up and soak it in salt water. Otherwise, it will stink overnight. ”

The eldest aunt hurriedly responded: "Hey! Then you're busy with this, I'll go and get you a hot meal. ”

The uncle was embarrassed and asked, "What do you do with these two wild boars?" Do you want to call someone to divide it? ”

Daman hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry! Daddy, wait until we've peeled off the skin and call someone. ”

"Forget it! Big brother, when we're all done, let's send it to the door! Their family harvested rice earlier than ours, and they were all busy cutting rice! ”

The uncle listened to the second brother's words and nodded. "Yes!" Then he asked Daman: "Manzi!" Without the help of the pig killer, can you clean the pigskin? ”

Daman scratched his cheeks and shook his head. Erya also thought that it would be better to call the pig killer. If they do, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Fortunately, the pig killer didn't rely on him to work, so he was called as soon as he went.

"Oops! Brother Xie, I'm really embarrassed! This busy season has also tossed you around. "Uncle was busy helping the pig killer put a big pot of knives or something on the ground.

Master Xie put away his things, looked at the wild things everywhere, and said to the uncle enviously: "It's good to have more men in the family!" They got all this stuff back today! ”

Uncle Le smiled, and casually took the cloth towel that Er Ya had washed clean with cold water to Master Xie to wipe the sweat on his face.

When I wanted to call Master Xie, the second aunt had already started boiling water at home, two pigs, and three pots of water.

Master Xie set up his things and started working, because he only needed to clean the pig hair, and Master Xie would be fast. It's just that the uncle must let him bring some meat back, so he waited for Daman to skin them, took five catties of wild boar, a rabbit and two pheasants, put them on both ends of the pick, and went home happily.

It's almost midnight, and everyone is already closed for sleep, so they don't have a home to send it, just wait to get up early and give it back.

The young man was full of energy, and he was busy until midnight on the first day before he went to sleep, and he got up early the next day, and he was still full of energy.

They were busy delivering things to their homes. Erya carried Xiaolong on her back, and Xiaohu carried a basket containing all kinds of meat to Erya's mother's house.

The second girl, who was cleaning the yard, saw the second girl and her younger brother coming back with her younger brother from the open courtyard gate, and hurriedly put down the big broom and walked out of the courtyard gate to welcome her.

"Why are you here when you're so busy?"

Xiaohu was a little snorted and shouted, "Mother!" The roots of the two sour teeth hurt. I want to play tricks on him, but I am afraid that he will be ashamed.

Xiaolong also learned from his brother, and followed with a milky voice and called "Mother!" ”

Eryaniang's tears came down all of a sudden, Erya really didn't understand, what was there to cry about? It's not like I don't have a son!

The second girl pulled Xiaolong into the door while listening to Xiaohu's words: "We went into the mountains yesterday and hit a lot of wild things. More than 50 pheasants, more than 40 rabbits, a fox, two robes, a badger, two wild boars, each wild boar has more than 200 catties, my uncle also said small! Uncle asked our family to send some and give you both a bite to eat! ”

The second girl listened and said politely: "Oops! Your family is polite, keep it for your own home! This hot day will cause you to run back and forth. ”

"Our family can't eat so much at once!"

The second girl entered the door and found that there was no one at home, so she asked her mother, "Why are you not at home?" Haven't we cut our rice yet? ”

Er Ya Niang let go of Xiaolong's hand and helped Xiaohu put down the pick, so that she told Er Ya about her grandfather's gossip like a joke.

"I can't believe it's your grandfather now!"

Er Ya was stunned when she heard this, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Her mother smiled and shook her head, then said, "Nothing! It's just that your grandfather is not as patriarchal as he used to be, and your grandfather has never been to her house since your eldest sister got married.

Yesterday I suddenly called your two younger brothers, and today I went with him to help cut the rice, saying that I would change a few jobs, and let them come over to help for a few days in two days.

In the past, your father asked your eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law to come back to work, and it was all hard, where would you think of going to an au pair?! ”

The second girl smiled noncommittally and asked her father again.

"Didn't those bricklayers go back to work on double robbing, why isn't my father at home?"

The second girl glanced at her daughter in disgust: "You kid! If someone else goes back, your dad will be able to come back? There are so many woods, bricks, etc., you can't look at people?! ”

Erya smiled and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! I forgot, the materials over there in my house were watched by the second uncle every night, and I forgot about them after a long time. ”

Her mother pointed her finger on Erya's forehead: "You! Now listening to your words and actions, but it has changed a lot, and I can't find the appearance of my childhood at all. Without waiting for the second girl to reply, he turned the conversation and said, "If you don't take Xiaolong and Xiaohu to the river to play, your sister will wash clothes by the river, and I will make you pancakes with some noodles, and I will cook porridge in the morning." Her mother said, and when she saw the second girl nodding, she was busy going to the kitchen.

Xiaohu hugged Xiaolong, Erya followed, and the three of them wandered towards the small river behind the village.

This river is smaller than the river of Erya's family, but it is very clear, and the white and red stones at the bottom of the river can be clearly seen.

Xiaolong struggled to go down to play in the water, but was tightly held by Xiaohu and did not let him move.

Xiaolong hurriedly asked Erya for help: "Sister-in-law! Tell my brother to let me go down! ”

Erya shrugged his shoulders, indicating incompetence!

There were a lot of women and girls washing clothes by the river, and a middle-aged woman who looked thin saw Er Ya and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"The second niece is back! This is to help your mother cut rice, busy with double robbery?! ”

Erya was looking for her sister on the shore, and she hadn't noticed that someone was greeting her, and Xiaohu poked her, so she realized that her third aunt was talking to her!

Hurriedly smiled and responded: "The third aunt washes clothes!" I didn't come back to be busy robbing, it was my husband and a few of his brothers, who went up the mountain yesterday to hunt some wild things, and I was afraid that the weather would be hot and smelly, so I was in a hurry to send them back and pickle them for my mother. Go back to my house and get some and cook it home for the third uncle and his younger siblings! ”

The third aunt happily responded: "Okay! Good! Your two younger brothers, Huirong and Huihua, love to eat the rabbit meat sent by your family, and your third uncle loves to eat the wild boar. Yesterday they were still annoying me for not buying meat for them to eat, but now it's okay, you can gag them. ”

The second girl smiled and said to the third aunt: "You go to my mother's house to get it first!" If the two younger brothers still want to eat, let the third uncle come to my house, the brothers were stupid yesterday, and they made a lot, and I was still worried, don't eat it all smelly. ”

Erya was talking while glancing around the crowd with her eyes, but she didn't see her sister.

The second girl changed the topic and asked the third aunt: "Third aunt, have you seen my sister?" Why didn't I find my sister? ”

"Your sister! She's gone back after doing the laundry, and she's gone back from there, so you're going to go wrong. The third aunt pointed to another road into the village, which was indeed closer to Erya's house.

"The third aunt, I'm going back, you're busy!" Erya said hello, then turned around and pulled Xiaohu's sleeve and walked back.
