He was watching the oriole feed the chickens when he heard someone calling out to him.

"Huang Yuan, it's time to wash your face and brush your teeth."

The voice is gentle and sweet.

He turned around and saw Huang Que standing at the kitchen door, smiling at him.

He was a little embarrassed and felt like he was back in his childhood.

As he walked to the kitchen, he passed by the cuckoo, who looked up and asked him, "How did you sleep last night, can you get used to it?" ”

Huang Yuan stopped and replied, "I slept very sweetly!" ”

smiled again: "It seems that I was born into the Huang family." I feel very stable and peaceful when I arrive here. All of a sudden, I lost all my ambitions and just wanted to farm, draw and study freely. Alas, I don't know how to farm yet! ”

The cuckoo smiled as he listened.

Seeing that he was still unsatisfied, he still had to say, so he reminded: "Let's go wash your face first." The eldest sister has scooped up all the water. ”

Huang Yuan hurriedly raised his legs and left, while saying, "My own family, why be polite!" ”

When he entered the kitchen, Huang Que'er really peeled the willow branches, dipped them in salt, and even poured water for him from the cup of rinsing, and instructed him to brush his teeth by the ditch in front of the kitchen.

After he rinsed his mouth, he entered the house and saw that the washing water had already been made again.

He smiled at Huang Que'er and said, "Sister, let me come by myself." ”

Huang Que'er smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll just come back, and you won't be able to touch anything." ”

As he spoke, he went to add a fire to the stove.

After coming up, seeing that Huang Yuan had already washed his face, he took out two small bowls from the kitchen cabinet, "There are tender ginger and sour bamboo shoots here, you can eat a bite and appetize." ”

Huang Yuan listened, and hurriedly took the chopsticks and tasted them.

"Hehe, it's delicious! This is pickled by the eldest sister? ”

"It was me and the cuckoo pickled."

"Delicious. The cheeks are sour. Big sister, what do you eat in the morning? ”

"Cooked corn paste. There are also corn nests, with sour bamboo shoots and bacon filling. There are also green pepper and egg fillings, as well as beans and bacon fillings. ”

Huang Yuan smacked his tongue when he heard this, and swallowed his saliva.

He apologized again: "Did the eldest sister get up early?" It's all because of me. ”

Huang Que'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's not ...... either."

Huang Yuan followed behind the eldest sister, going to the stove for a while, and coming to the stove for a while, saying something about homely life. From time to time, Huang Que looked for something for him to taste, or lifted the lid of the steamer and poked the nest with chopsticks. I thought it was good, so I took one out and put it in a bowl for him to eat first.

A teenage girl, gentle and loving to her younger brother.

She watched while he ate, sometimes reaching out to help him straighten the hem of his clothes that he didn't need, even though he was half a head taller than her.

Compared with the cuckoo and the yellow bird, she is much quieter, always pursing her lips and smiling.

This feeling of being pampered and loved made Huang Yuan feel novel and sweet. But he didn't feel stiff and unfamiliar at all. The eldest sister takes the same, and he tastes the same; Talking to the eldest sister for a while, laughing for a while, my heart is full of warmth. Leave the "gentleman's kitchen" behind.

Suddenly, Huang Que'er came to his senses and urged him to get out, "There is a lot of dust in the kitchen." You go out and take a walk. When my father and mother come back, we will eat. ”

Huang Yuan asked again: "Father and mother went to the ground so early. Busy? ”

Huang Que'er explained: "No, it's hot. We're all working in the cool morning. Besides, now it's about hoeing soybeans and corn. I hoeed the grass in the morning, and waited for the sun to come out and dry the grass to death, and it worked. ”

Huang Yuan suddenly realized, and secretly thought that he should be more attentive to agricultural affairs in the future.

He was kicked out of the kitchen by Huang Que'er, and at a glance he saw the cuckoo carrying a large basket of clothes, and even the yellow bird was carrying half a basket, and the sisters were going out of the courtyard.

He hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going to do your laundry?" ”

After shouting, Fang felt embarrassed-

A man's family, ask what these do!

The cuckoo looked back and smiled, "It's right in front." You can also come out and see our village. ”

Huang Yuan was overjoyed and trotted over.

On the one hand, he was amused: this morning, he turned after his sisters.

When he got out of the unobstructed wooden fence, he couldn't help but say, "This gate is too simple." It's better to build a simple doorway, just like a hanging flower door, and it is better to enter the door to shelter from the rain. Again, plant the honeysuckle (i.e., honeysuckle) and climb all over the roof, and from a distance it looks like a garden doorway, which is better than this thing. This thing is crude! ”

When the cuckoo saw that he had made a move, he laughed secretly.

Huang Li hurriedly said: "Go back and do what my brother said." Brother, think about it again, where else does our family need to change, and we will change it once and for all. ”

Huang Yuan was embarrassed, "There's nothing to change." It's all good! Natural and fresh, without too much manpower to chisel, so it is good. ”

As they spoke, they went out the door.

I saw a ditch in front of me, and there were many green irises and aquatic plants growing on the side of the ditch.

There is also a pool of clear water, and the surface of the water is lightly smoky.

Thinking that it was for washing, this small section of the ditch was dug deep and wide, and this pool was formed, and a large bluestone slab was placed on the side of the pool.

The cuckoo put down the basket, squatted down at the two ends of the bluestone slab with the yellow bird, picked out all the clothes, washed them in the ditch one by one, and beat them on the slate with a mallet.

Huang Yuan casually looked up and looked around.

Immediately he froze.

The mountains are foggy, and the spring and autumn mornings in Quanshui Village are often foggy. At this time, it is also the most beautiful time in the village, ethereal and dreamy, like a fairyland! However, the roosters and dogs barking, and the figures of people in the farmhouse all show that this is in the world.

He watched all this quietly, watching the fog dissipate little by little, the village of Quanshui revealed its full true face in front of him, and the shadow line of the mountains in the distance became clear, the sun was high, and the sun was fierce.

I don't know when, the sound of pounding clothes around me stopped.

The cuckoo asked, "Look stupid?" ”

She was so excited and distracted at the beginning.

Quanshui Village can be called a "paradise", which is not an exaggeration!

Huang Yuan nodded and said, "I have also walked through some places and seen a lot of beautiful scenery, but they are not as special as here." I want the peach blossom source where Wuling people live. ”

The cuckoo was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a cow on the village road on the left, with a sack on its back, and I don't know what it contained. The honest dad was following the cow's butt and said, "Wait for me for a while!" This brute. Run by yourself! ”

She burst out laughing and asked, "Daddy." What's wrong? ”

Huang Yuan also smiled and hurriedly walked over.

When the big buffalo came to the door of Huang's house, he stopped, lowered his head and grazed at the base of the wall.

Huang Laoshi caught up, took the sack off the cow's back, put it on the ground heavily, and smiled at Huang Yuan: "Dad picked a few watermelons, and you will eat them later." ”

Huang Yuan was very happy and hurriedly asked, "What about my mother?" ”

Huang said honestly: "Your mother went to the Lin family." Say buy some lotus root, say you like to eat that. She told me to come back first. I'll be back first. I met your third grandfather in front of me, and I stood there and said a few words to him, but this beast was not happy to wait a while, and ran back first. ”

The cuckoos laughed when they heard this.

So, Huang Laoshi tied the cow to the peach tree outside the wall, carried the sack, and called his son to enter the courtyard together. The cuckoo and the oriole also followed.

After entering the hospital, Huang Laoshi took out a watermelon from the sack.

Round green-skinned watermelon. It's not big, about four or five pounds.

Huang Laoshi picked up a watermelon and knocked it with his hand as if offering a treasure to Huang Yuan, making a "dong dong" crisp sound. "Listen, such a crisp sound is cooked. If it's stuffy, it's not cooked. Daddy opens one, you eat it first? ”

Huang Yuan hurriedly stopped and said, "Dad." I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Wait until you have dinner, and then eat watermelon when it's hot at noon. It is best to chill it with well water. We don't have a well? ”

Huang Laoshi hurriedly said: "There is next door." I'm going to fetch a bucket. ”

Put down the watermelon and go to the kitchen to get a bucket.

The oriole is drying clothes. While complaining: "So small! We're not at home, no one cares about it. It won't be long. The watermelon at my brother's house in the spring of last year was so big! ”

When Huang Que'er heard this, he hurriedly came out and said, "I have removed the weeds and watered the dung. The second uncle and second aunt also helped. I don't know what's wrong, it's just that it doesn't grow up. ”

The cuckoo shook off a piece of clothing, put on a bamboo pole, and pulled it flat with his hand, while laughing: "You also need a trick to grow watermelons." It's good to plant it in our first year, so it's good to be so big. It would be nice to think about it for two more years. ”

Huang Laoshi came out with a bucket and smiled at Huang Yuan: "Go shopping next door with your father?" Chunsheng's family, you know everything. ”

Without waiting for Huang Yuan to answer, a voice came from next door, "Cuckoo, come and see!" Out of the water! Pressed out of the water! ”

It was Lin Chun's voice.

Dongsheng couldn't wait, so he flew around the door, ran to Huang's house and shouted happily: "My third brother has done a good job of pressing the water press, and the water is pressed!" ”

At this time, not only Du Juan, but even Huang Yuan was very happy.

Everyone ran next door to see the strangeness.

When I went to the next door, I saw a stake-like iron lump planted on the ground next to the Lin family's well platform, with a handle, a bamboo tube in front, and a slanted water outlet was cut. Lin Chun stood aside, holding the crank in his hand, pressing it up and down, and the water flowed out of the bamboo tube.

Lin Datou and his wife and the Lin family brothers all gathered around to watch.

Lin Datou shouted, "Bring the bucket, bring the bucket!" Ouch, it's all dripping! ”

Qiusheng quickly ran to the kitchen to get a bucket.

Huang Laoshi hurriedly sent his bucket to the bamboo tube to continue.

Looking at the bamboo tube flowing with water, he stared at the boss, bent over, and approached to take a closer look at the iron lump as if he were looking at a monster, and his heart was full of wonder.

The cuckoo's face was full of joy, "Lin Chun, you want to leave a name in history!" ”

Lin Chun looked at her and smiled, thinking that one day, their names would be juxtaposed, but he said, "This is thanks to Huang Yuan's help." ”

It turned out that he had been thinking about this water press for two years, and all the parts were ready, but because the piston sealing of the pumping water was not enough, he could not pump water. Huang Yuan found rubber, and the matter was simple. He got up in the morning, and after a busy installation, he pumped water out of the well.

Huang Yuan also smiled: "It's really an honor to be here!" ”

He looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Lin Chun seriously: "Third brother, this thing should not only be used to press water. If you think about it, it can be very useful. Also, you might as well write down its structure and use in detail, and give it to Master Zhou, don't hide it. I'll tell you......"

He lowered his voice and whispered to Lin Chun.

"Brother Xie Huang instructs!" Lin Chun nodded again and again, his expression was very cautious, "This thing has changed its appearance, and it can be used for papermaking." ”

This time, the Chen family sent someone to go into the mountains with them to teach them to make paper, but because the Huang family couldn't arrange it, Lin Dameng took him to his own house to settle down.

Although Huang Yuan was solely involved in the papermaking business, after asking Du Juan and Daddy Niang for details of the village, he decided that the Lin family and the Huang family would jointly run the business. In order to borrow the prestige of the Lin family in the village, and also to rely on Lin Dameng to manage, Huang Yuan himself has no heart to manage it.

Seeing that Dongsheng and Huang Li were frolicking and washing their faces with water in their hands, and they leaked, Xia Sheng smiled and said, "When I build a pool here, it will be easy to use." ”

Huang Que smiled when she heard this.

The pool is not much for her to use in the future! (To be continued......)
