46. Wheat harvest turmoil
After the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the wheat mang, the outside of the county seat of Qingyuan County is golden, exuding the fragrance of ripe wheat, a gust of wind blows, and the wheat waves roll in the ground layer by layer, like a large golden ocean.
At this time, it was the busiest season for every household, and in order to increase the number of people, Fang Bin took the children in the martial arts hall on vacation.
Ah Yao and Fang Bin didn't farm, only Yao Qi's family still had a few acres of thin fields, although Ah Yao didn't like her stepmother's face, but after all, her father was not there, and there was no man at home who could help, not to mention that Yao Qi and Yao Jing still treated her eldest sister well, so Ah Yao and Fang Bin still went to the field to help.
It is only at this time that the stepmother Chen's face is good, but she doesn't care if she is good or not, she just helps her younger brothers and sisters reduce the burden of labor.
After a few days of hard work, the wheat in the field was finally harvested into the family's granary.
Before Ah Yao and Fang Bin left, Chen took a sack of wheat with half a bag of wheat for the two of them to take back, but Ah Yao didn't take it, she knew that Chen was still currying favor with her now because she wanted Yao Qi to marry King Zhao as a side concubine. Regarding this matter, she is absolutely opposed, and where is she willing to accept Chen's wishes?
What's more, the business in the shop is good now, and she and Fang Bin are not short of that bag of wheat.
Back at home, Ah Yao felt that this bone was about to fall apart, she really hadn't done this kind of physical work for a long time.
Fang Bin saw that she was working hard, stepped forward to rub her shoulder, and said softly: "Take a hot bath tonight to relieve fatigue, and it should be better tomorrow after sleeping." ”
As the two were talking, they heard a burst of lightning and thunder outside, and the originally sunny courtyard suddenly dimmed, dark clouds covered the sky, and from time to time a flash of lightning struck, and after a while, a torrential downpour fell.
Heavy rain poured in with the wind through the wide open windows, slapping on the dry ground, and wetting it.
"Oops, it's raining, go close the window." Ah Yao exclaimed.
Fang Bin went to close the door, and heard A-Yao sigh again: "This rain is really scared, just put the dried wheat into the house, otherwise it will be wet by the rain, and then put it into the house to cover it with mold, then it will be a waste." ”
"Yes, it wouldn't be good if anyone's wheat wasn't confiscated."
The couple were talking, but they heard Huzi's voice from the courtyard: "Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang, are you there?" Grandma fell! ”
Fang Bin walked out of the house when he heard the sound, and rushed to the yard without caring about the pouring rain: "Huzi, what's the matter?" ”
"It was raining, and my grandmother was in a hurry to harvest the wheat and accidentally slipped it."
"Let's go, take me to see it." Fang Bin said and left with Huzi quickly.
Ah Yao was not at ease, so she also ran out.
I saw that the wheat in the open space behind Aunt Wang's house was wet by the rain, and some fine wheat straw was washed away by the rain a few steps away, and Aunt Wang was squatting on the ground with a painful face.
"Aunt Wang, what's wrong with you?" Fang Bin hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Aunt Wang frowned and said with a painful face: "I accidentally slipped on the ground and flashed to my waist, it's not a big deal, you were taken care of me first, help me harvest the wheat." ”
"Where did Tianyong go, how did you let you harvest wheat here alone?"
As soon as he saw that it was going to rain, he ran out, saying that Mo Yan's mother's wheat was still drying outside, and I couldn't stop it. This rabbit cub is thinking about other people's. Aunt Wang endured the pain and said.
Ah Yao heard that Wang Tianyong went to Aunt Mo's house to help, and felt that something was wrong, but she didn't want to think about it for a while, and said to Fang Bin: "Xianggong, you can help Aunt Wang into the house first, it's not good for her body to be old when it rains so heavily." Huzi, you go and ask a doctor to come and show your grandmother, I'll collect these wheat first. ”
Fang Bin sent Aunt Wang into the house and quickly came out to harvest the wheat with Ah Yao, and the two of them were busy for most of the hour, and the wet wheat was finally put into a bag and put in the house.
When Ah Yao and Fang Bin returned to their home, it was already dark, Ah Yao had been drenched in the rain for too long, and the strength in her body was exhausted, so she contracted a cold that night and had a high fever.
Fang Bin hurriedly invited a doctor and stayed up all night in front of the bed to take care of him.
It wasn't until the next morning that A-Yao gradually woke up.
"Are you awake?" Fang Bin was overjoyed, but because he hadn't spoken all night, his voice was a little hoarse and tired. He reached out and probed her forehead before relieving himself, "The fever has finally subsided, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”
Seeing his bloodshot eyes, A-Yao felt distressed: "I'm fine, you haven't slept all night?" ”
"I'm worried about you."
A short sentence instantly warmed A-Yao's heart, only to feel that she was tightly surrounded by happiness, and her eyes gradually became moist.
"Why are you crying, is your head hurting again?" Fang Bin supported her with a concerned face, Ah Yao was in pain, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, seeing her like this, he really wished that it was himself who was sick in bed now, not her.
"No, I'm fine." Ah Yao hurriedly explained, reached out and stroked his haggard cheek and said slowly: "I just feel so happy." ”
"Fool." Fang Bin held her hand and looked at her dotingly, "I didn't eat last night, now I'm hungry, I'll cook something for you to eat, what do you want to eat?" ”
"I want to eat egg custard, the golden one, put chopped green onions and sesame oil, and the green onions will be cooked thoroughly."
"Okay." Fang Bin smiled and pinched her face, got up and walked out.
As soon as she went out, A-Yao heard Wang Tianyong's voice outside: "Brother Fang." ”
"Tianyong, why are you here?"
"I heard that my sister-in-law was sick and came to see her. I cooked some wolfberry yam porridge for my mother, and also brought a bowl to my sister-in-law. ”
Wang Tianyong and Fang Bin, who were talking, had already come in, and Wang Tianyong was still holding a bowl of porridge in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, is she getting better?" Wang Tianyong saw the pale Ah Yao in the room and asked.
Ah Yao smiled and nodded: "It's much better, it's not a serious illness." ”
Wang Tianyong handed the porridge in his hand to Fang Bin, and said: "I thought that my sister-in-law was sick now and I was afraid that I couldn't eat a lot of things, so I cooked some porridge and sent it over, sister-in-law eat it while it was hot." ”
"You're bothered." Ah Yao said weakly.
Wang Tianyong's face showed a look of guilt, and the friendship in his eyes was real: "My sister-in-law said this, I couldn't help it, speaking of which, if it weren't for my absence at home, my sister-in-law wouldn't have been caught in the rain." ”
"I can't say that, it's too late for you to go to Mo Yan's house to help me, thank you. Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo are old, and there is no strong man in the family, so it is really not convenient to work. ”
Hearing Ah Yao mention Mo Yan, Wang Tianyong's originally guilty face was dyed with a flush, he pursed his lips and smiled dryly twice without speaking.
Ah Yao also had a hint of understanding in her heart when she saw him like this, and secretly smiled and didn't ask much: "By the way, Aunt Wang's injury is better?" ”
"It's not as strict as yesterday, but I'm still lying on the bed and can't move, and I didn't think about it yesterday, so I tossed you and my mother like this, and now I think about it."
"Don't mention the past, don't you think I'm fine now."
Wang Tianyong exchanged a few more words with Ah Yao and Fang Bin, and then returned to his home.
Seeing that Wang Tianyong was gone, Ah Yao couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this Wang Tianyong really interested in Ah Yan?" But if you think about it carefully, except for the fact that this Wang Tianyong is a little inconvenient in his legs and feet, he is quite good, if he can really give Ah Yan happiness, I think it is not bad. ”
This Wang Tianyong is honest, responsible in doing things, and his appearance is no worse than Cui Xi, the most important thing is to know that it hurts, A-Yao thinks it's really good.
Fang Bin fed the porridge sent by Wang Tianyong into her mouth spoonful by spoonful, and said lightly: "Let's look at fate, let them choose for themselves, we don't have to worry about it." ”
Ah Yao nodded: "Indeed, it's up to them to worry about themselves, and we can't help much." ”
