Chapter 17: Ye Mu's Night Talk (Asking for Recommendation)
In the Northeast, ordinary farmers are generally busy with two seasons, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. Taking the most common maize planting families as an example, spring planting is divided into seed selection, fertilizer purchase, seed application, and weeding; The autumn harvest is divided into cutting land (called gǎ in dialect), chopping (commonly known as chopping rice), and pulling land (that is, pulling corn cobs and corn bellflower home). Although most of the Northeast is a plain terrain, the popularization of mechanized operations requires a process, or the simple Northeast farmers still uphold the excellent character of facing the black soil with their backs to the sky for a long time, and rarely use agricultural machinery.
Summer is a very happy season, no heavy farm work, farewell to winter cabbage, potatoes, all kinds of pure natural vegetables, melons, fruits, pears and peaches are ripe, I don't know when it started, every summer vacation there are similar cultural activities to the countryside, movies and two people take turns to stage, can last for more than half a month, so lively; Winter, is a happier day than summer, the wife and children hot kang head is the most appropriate description, every family is burning the stove for heating, three or five groups gather in a certain family to play cards, mahjong, many are played in vain, even if the win or loss of playing money is very small, just a lively picture.
However, farmers who take breeding as a sideline are busy all year round, especially raising dairy cows. There is no leisure all year round, not to mention the spring planting and autumn harvest seasons, which can only be described as busy and busy.

Approaching the evening, Luo Shan and Ye Liangchen went home like a pair of little lovers. This afternoon, Luo Shan was extremely happy, because Ye Liangchen sang the song that seemed to be made for them nearly ten times, at first three or five times Ye Liangchen agreed very happily, and then Luo Shan grabbed Ye Liangchen tightly, and refused to let go of the hands held by the two of them overflowing with sweat, and also made some of the girl's usual coquettish and arrogant little tricks to force Ye Liangchen to comply, because there was no water to drink, soon his voice began to be hoarse, Luo Shan let him go distressedly, and what surprised her even more was that When she proposed to let Ye Liangchen come to her every time he came home from vacation, he agreed without hesitation. Finally, this big villain still has some conscience, and Luo Shan is happy in her heart.
When Ye Liangchen arrived home, it was a busy time at night, Ye's father was milking, and after a while, Ye's father had to drive his several large buckets of fresh milk and the fresh milk of several nearby neighbors to the milk collection station, and almost no one in the family could help in this process, so Ye's father could only be busy alone, but many times, the neighbors who only had one or two cows at home would bring milk buckets to the door, and help milk the docile cows by the way. At this time, Ye Mu will clean up the courtyard, water her vegetable garden, and cook dinner.
As soon as Ye Meijing saw her brother who had disappeared all afternoon, she naturally asked questions, Ye Liangchen really didn't have much to do with this little Lori, but with her, the atmosphere at dinner was indeed not so dull.
There is no entertainment in the countryside at night, after watching TV, Ye Meijing has to go to school the next day and goes to bed early, and Ye's father is used to going to bed early when he is tired all day long. Ye Mu turned off the TV and pulled Ye Liangchen to the courtyard.
"Son, can you tell your mother why you have the idea of dropping out of school during the day?"
“……”
"It's not like someone at school is bullying you again, is it? Didn't you go to those two sophomores in our township, oh, they should be juniors of high school."
"Oh, how can so many people bully me all day long"
"What's that? Are you afraid that your parents won't be able to afford you to go to college? Silly boy, our family has so many cows now, it's really not good, so we sell the cows, if it doesn't work, we will sell the house and land, and my parents will give up their lives to provide for your brothers to study" Ye Mu's eyes were firm and persistent, and continued: "With your small body, you can't do anything if you don't go to school and stay in the countryside, so you believe in your mother, don't have any worries, study hard, be admitted to a good university, and only then can you have a career in the future, you know?" ”
"You study well since you were a child, you are a role model for your sister, the person she admires the most is you, every time you take the first exam at the end of the term, she has to talk to others for a long time. During the day, your dad beat you, don't go to your heart, although he is stupid and can't tell any big truth, but he is dedicated to your good, just like the last time you had an accident at school, when your homeroom teacher called home, I had gone to the reservoir with a beautiful view, your dad just finished herding the cattle in the morning, heard the news, didn't eat a bite of breakfast, and hurriedly took all the cash at home to see you. At noon, he got home hungry and had stomach problems, but he didn't care, just because he saw that you were safe. You're even more mother's pride, every time I hear the neighbors praise you, I don't know how happy I am, and I don't feel tired of doing any work......"
Listening to this, the corners of Ye Liangchen's eyes moistened again......
The mother and son talked for nearly an hour, almost all the time was Mother Ye talking, Mother Ye knew reason, moved with affection, Ye Liangchen had to admire this rural mother, who had not read for a few years, but the truth was set in sets, which made people forget to distinguish it.
Ye Mu's words made Ye Liangchen succumb. Thinking of all the things during the day, especially when she just came back, Ye Mu held herself in her arms, and the feeling of emotion was beyond words. He said so much alone this night, and he couldn't ignore this painstaking effort. was also relieved of Father Ye's slap on him.
He regretted his willfulness during the day, he shouldn't have touched this bottom line, and in the face of this simple rural couple, he could have no feelings, but he couldn't hurt them.
Forget it, let's go to university as originally planned.
Ye Liangchen repeatedly promised Ye's mother, and he sent a military order to get out, and if he stayed any longer, he would have to burst into tears......
Back in the bedroom, Ye Liangchen was speechless again, he actually lived in a cottage with Ye Meijing, he was so big, he only went out to live with Li Wenji a few times. cough, what do you think, little Lori is her own sister, and the kang is also very big, the two of them are on one side, and the middle can be separated by more than a meter. Thinking of what Mother Ye just said, she looked at the sleeping little Lori's little face through the light, stretched out her hand and rubbed it on her little face a few times, the little Lori seemed to feel it, shook her little head slightly, and turned to the other side, Ye Liangchen had more love and pity in his heart, and helped others cover the quilt for the first time.
Ye Liangchen's ideological work is quite in place, Ye Liangchen not only strengthened his determination to take the college entrance examination, but also set up a myth to break the myth of the only college student in the township, and even surpass him, and get a book, the right to return to his parents for his predecessor!
With great ambition, Ye Liangchen had breakfast and set foot on the way back to school.
