In order to save money, Hao Shenmei didn't let the two boys go to school, and she taught them at home.

Ge Kaituo has a lively mind and a good memory, and his schoolwork progress has surpassed that of Ge Kaisen, who is two years older than him.

When he was an older brother, he felt a little inferior in his heart, and he felt that he was the eldest in the family, so he should take on more responsibilities for his parents, so he always rushed to work and let his younger brother have more time to study.

"Then I'll finish my homework, wash my clothes, and go to the field to find you." Ge Kaituo bowed his head, and his men stepped up.

After eating, Ge Xinchou went to carry water, and he had to fill the three large water urns under the eaves before rushing back to the unit.

The daughter is a paralyzed person, she eats and drinks Lazar on the kang, and the daughter-in-law hurts her daughter, and she changes diapers and clothes frequently, which requires a lot of water.

Carrying the burden into the courtyard, Ge Xinchou happened to hear the conversation between the two boys, he poured water into the water urn, and said to Ge Kaisen, "Senwa, I will send you to the field." ”

Ge Kaisen kept his feet and walked outside the courtyard by himself, saying as he walked: "No, Dad, I'll walk by myself, at this time the field is full of people working, don't be afraid." You hurry up and go to work, it's not good to ride when it's dark. ”

Dad's unit is in the next county, far away, dozens of miles of pimple slopes, the field to be cut today is not close to the village, if Dad sends himself to the wheat field first, he will definitely not be able to get to the unit before dark, it is not safe.

Every year when the crops are tall, wolves are sometimes seen outside the village, and the village rules that several people must be in a group when they go out.

Ge Xinchou also walked out of the yard with his burden, and told Ge Kaisen: "Then you should be careful." ”

Before the urn was full, he overtook Gerkaisen in a few steps.

Walking north out of the alley, there is a square slope pond behind the courtyard of Ji Ruili's house, that is, there is a small pond with a slow downhill slope.

The south boundary of the slope pond is close to the back wall of the house of Ji Ruili's house, the east boundary is the wall of the east courtyard of the Ji Ruili house, the west boundary is the west wall of the Ji Ruili house, and the north boundary is close to the road that runs through the east and west direction of the village, covering an area of one acre.

The water in this pond is mainly rainwater, which used to be fenced gates, including the courtyards of several families on the west side of the pond and part of the village committee compound on the east side, which used to be the boundary of the Ge family.

Ge Kaisen once heard his father say that the east of the slope pond used to be a wide field, every harvest season, the site is full of people and cars, very lively, the villagers use buckets to carry water from the slope pond, drink the livestock to wash the livestock, and some people stand on the brick platform below, washing the farm tools can reflect the shadow of people.

After passing the slope pond, Ge Xinchou went to the east of the village to carry water, and Ge Kaisen and his father went in the opposite direction, heading west towards the west village entrance.

Yicun has a large population and a large village, and the members are divided into five production teams, and the third production team where Ge Kaisen is located is in the west of the village.

Out of the entrance of the village, as far as the eye can see, the wheat on the flat land near has been cut, and the fields are rows of wheat stubble, flowing in a straight line like golden streams into the distance.

There are also corn fields and cotton fields, corn has begun to tassel, and some cotton has begun to hang cotton peaches.

Most of them are sweet potato fields, and the green sweet potato seedlings are a sign that people will not go hungry this winter.

Yicun is rich in sweet potatoes, which have a high yield compared to other crops, so sweet potatoes are the main food crops in the village.

If the crops in the field were to be compared to the heads of his brother, the patches of sweet potatoes were like the shaved hair, and the wheat, corn, cotton, and the like were the ones that seemed to have been gnawed by dogs.

In order to save money, Ge Kaisen and Ge Kaituo's hair was pushed by Ge Xinchou himself with clippers, which are not very easy to use, and they always clip their hair from time to time.

Ge Kaisen's hair followed Hao Shenmei, some of which were naturally curly, and his hair was soft and fine, and it was easiest to clip his hair when he pushed his head, but Ge Kaisen could endure the pain and not move, and his head was flat and neat.

Originally, Ge Kaituo's hair was straight and thick, much better than Ge Kaisen's hair, but Ge Kaituo did not have such good patience, as long as he clamped his hair, he would scream and move, and the hair that was launched was pitted, and at a glance, the hair was as if it had been gnawed by a dog.

Out of the village and go straight forward, after walking for a while, I saw three persimmon trees on the north side of the road, and Ge Kaisen turned under the trees.

The persimmons on the tree are too small, only the size of Ge Kaisen's fingers, and they are astringent and cannot be eaten at all.

Ge Kaisen looked for the little persimmon baby that fell on the ground under the tree, to see if there were any that had become soft, and really let him pick up a few, although it was not as sweet as the persimmons ripened in autumn, and it was slightly astringent, but it was better than nothing, so he should satisfy his hunger.

Further on, it is the private land of the members.

There are many varieties of crops planted in the self-cultivated fields, such as mung beans, soybeans, sesame seeds, etc., all of which have already bloomed, but have not yet set pods, or the pods are still small.

There are also vegetables planted in the self-reserved land, long beans, short beans are the majority, and they are generally planted on the weir and do not occupy space.

Ge Zezhong also planted long beans in the weir of his own land, but Ge Zezhong never allowed his two grandsons to enter his own land, and only let them work when the crops were harvested in autumn.

After standing for a moment on the edge of his own field, Graham turned north along the main road, and walked towards the ditch in the distance, where the captain had shouted in his characteristic loud voice this morning, and that he would cut the wheat to-morrow.

Passing by the second team's hemp pole field, looking at the dense tall and thin hemp pole forest, Ge Kaisen suddenly became frightened and ran to the ditch.

Not far away, the people of the second team were also cutting wheat, and Ge Kaisen was still getting more and more scared, running fast.

Running down the ditch path without stopping, running to the wheat field of the third team, Ge Kaisen stopped and bent over and gasped, and when he was relieved, he reported to the captain, this is to show his face in front of the captain, so that he can give himself a credit for work.

"Oh, you baby, why did you come here alone, it's really bold."

The captain in his fifties complained to Ge Kaisen in his throat and asked Ge Kaisen to go to the scorekeeper Lan Xiao to register his name.

Lan Xiao divided Ge Kaisen into the wheat bundle group.

After registering his name, Ge Kaisen bent down nearby and picked up a handful of wheat scattered on the ground, and the centipedes hiding below scattered away, looking for the next place to hide, Ge Kaisen toyed with the centipede that did not have time to run away with his toes, straightened up and sent the wheat to the members who bundled the wheat.

"Senva, come here." Women's captain Li Guiyin beckoned to Ge Kaisen.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Graham walked over obediently.
