"Wangwang", hearing the movement, Xiao Hei knew that the little master was back, happily wagged his tail to meet him, circled around Chen Muqin, often stood on his legs, and pounced on the young man, the young man had a smile on the corner of his mouth, squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head, rubbed his face again, turned around and locked the door, walked towards the hall, and shouted, "Mom, I'm back." When Chen Muqin returned from Wu's house, it was already dark, and at this time it was already full of stars, the light in the living room was still on, and the sound of a TV came from the house. How did you do on today's exam? The young man's face darkened slightly, and then he smiled again, pretending to be relaxed, "It's not bad!" Mom, you should rest early. Early tomorrow morning, let's go to plant rice together, and Xintong will also go with us. "That girl is not afraid of being tired. Good! You also rested early, and you are tired from the exam, so Mom will boil you a few eggs tomorrow to make up for it. Mother Chen said kindly. Mom, no need. Then I'll go upstairs. You rest early! The boy turned and went upstairs.

It was the middle of June, and it was still a little cold in the morning and evening, and the boy had not yet fallen asleep, lying on the bed, with his left arm on his pillow, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, thinking about what had happened during the day. Perhaps, it was really because he was not vigilant enough, and he was attacked by someone and injured his arm, well, he must be more vigilant in the future, the young man pursed his lips secretly, and thought secretly. The young man's mind turned, thinking of the book he read in the bookstore, Zeng Guofan is really a great figure, with the literati leading the martial arts, more than ten years of the Hongyang Rebellion that caused disaster for most of China, after his personal success, he can recommend talents, establish people, and after becoming famous, he can be more able to retreat bravely, it can be said that he knows the opportunity, the position is to the prince, but the descendants have not produced half of the unscrupulous people, it can be said that he has a good way to govern the family, and he has achieved meritorious service and three immortal virtues, almost perfect, and it is rare in China's thousands of years of history. If you have the chance, you must get to know this big man well. The young man wandered outside the object, admiring. Thinking about it, and thinking again, if there is a chance, I will go and thank the bookstore owner, thinking about it, the young man's eyelids gradually heavily, and after a while, he fell asleep, making an even breathing sound. The door gently flashed open, and Chen's mother looked at her son, who was already asleep, and muttered, "Silly child, Mom only hopes that you are safe." "Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, how could Chen's mother not see that her son's expression was different, and deliberately avoided her right arm when she was downstairs, at that time, Chen's mother had already realized that something was wrong, but she knew that her son had always been obedient and sensible, and she must not have wanted to worry about herself, so she deliberately concealed it, so she didn't say anything.

The golden rooster is dawning, the east is gradually brightening, the clouds seem to be dyed red a little bit, and the sky at the beginning of the sun has its own magnificent color. Chen Muqin stretched his waist and shook his arms in the sound of a rooster's crow, feeling that he was already very good, and sighed that the old man's skills are not blown. A carp stiffened, quickly got up and got dressed, and when Xintong's girl should come, he didn't want to be called a "hooligan" again, thinking about what happened last time, it was really embarrassing to get home, Xiao Muqin was full of spirit in the morning, standing upright, and for a long time to relax his body and sleep without clothes, he actually saw it, the young man quickly shook his head, dispelled the memories that made him unbearable, and hurriedly went downstairs to wash. Mother Chen had already cooked the meal, and after a while, she heard a familiar voice, "Brother Mu Qin, I'm here." "Xintong is here, let's eat together, Mu Qin is brushing his teeth, and he will be here soon." Mother Chen beckoned. "Aunt Li, let's go to the ground later, should I wear boots?" The girl asked. "You girl, you have a lot of fun at work, you better don't go, it's dirty and tired." Chen's mother excused herself. "Yes, Xintong, or you should not go, you haven't worked." The young man walked out of the hall and continued. "No, it's all agreed, grandpa can testify." The girl moved out of Old Man Wu, and the young man said helplessly, "That's okay, you and my mother are good at pulling rice seedlings." "Okay!" The girl smiled sweetly. "Alright, let's have dinner together!" Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, Chen's mother no longer persuaded her, so she beckoned.

After the meal, Chen Muqin took out the forage that had been cooked, fed Da Hei, and mixed water with bran, rice bran, etc., and gave Da Hei a drink, which is called drinking cattle in the countryside. "Brother Mu Qin, can I help?" The girl leaned over to the boy and asked sweetly. "Well, you go to the door and get a few handfuls of straw and put them on the cart to bundle the rice seedlings." The boy commanded. The girl replied, "Okay! And he stomped to the door. The young man found the rope again, cut off two wooden sticks one meter and two long, and put the rake needed for land preparation on the cart, and he was almost ready. The girl walked towards the boy with a few handfuls of straw in her arms, and the boy opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, in fact, he wanted to say, "You don't need so many straws to bundle rice seedlings, just two handfuls are enough." But seeing the smile on the girl's face, he couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so he simply shut his mouth, turned around and went to get two stools, which he used to sit on when pulling rice seedlings. After waiting for Da Hei to rest for a while, the young man put on the ox cart and let Chen's mother and Wu Xintong sit in the car, seeing Xiao Hei swaying from side to side, the young man thought about it and decided to take it with him, so as to save him from being bored at home.

When he arrived in the field, Chen Muqin parked the ox cart on the side of the road, untied the big black, and said, "Mom, you and Xintong are going to pull rice seedlings, I will prepare the land first, and then we will plant seedlings." Mother Chen nodded, turned to the girl and said, "Xintong, you take two handfuls of straw, I'll take the stool, let's go pull the rice seedlings first." The girl hurriedly took a stool, stood next to it and said, "Aunt Li, let's go quickly, don't let Brother Mu Qin look down, let him see how good I am." The girl wrinkled her nose and said, Mother Chen knew that the girl wanted to share more, so she grabbed the stool, she was really a good girl, filial piety and politeness, and smiled with relief, "You girl." Ok, good, good! He turned and walked towards his seedling field. The girl hurriedly followed. Xiao Hei looked left and right, but still chose to follow the young man, spreading joy left and right, the young man put on a rake, and went to his own paddy field with Da Hei. One person, one cow and one dog, a very interesting combination.

"His aunt, come and pull the rice seedlings!" There are already people pulling seedlings in the seedling field next to the Chen family's paddy field. Talking is the mother-in-law of the Xie family, about forty years old, obese, dark skin, waist has long been fat, is a typical rural woman, the family man is surnamed Xie, generally the younger generation is called Aunt Xie, her children and Chen Muqin are elementary school classmates, and later stayed in the sixth grade, Chen Muqin directly promoted to junior high school, it was one year short, and now he is in the second year of junior high school. "Well, you came so early, sister-in-law of the Xie family." Chen's mother took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and looked up to reply. Wu Xintong saw Chen's mother doing this, so she also learned, took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and revealed a pair of small and delicate white feet and snow-white calves. Chen's mother put the stool into the paddy field, soaked the straw in the water, sat down and began to pull out the seedlings. "Isn't this Xintong? I haven't seen it for a few days, why did she become so beautiful, look at this girl, this hasn't passed the door yet, and she knows that she is working for her in-laws. The mother-in-law of the Xie family teased. I saw that the girl's face was red, and even a pair of ingot-like ears were bloody, and she lowered her head and accelerated the seedlings, a little flustered, I don't know how many roots were broken. "His aunt, don't make this joke, the girl is thin-skinned and not ashamed." Chen's mother replied to the road. "Hahahaha!" The mother-in-law of the Xie family laughed and continued, "It's not a joke. You see, your Mu Qin and Xin Tong are not like the golden boy and girl sung in the play, they have been playing since childhood, and they are so compatible! Xintong, isn't it! The girl slowed down, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her ponytail was flung to the side, obscuring the sight of others, and this beautiful smile was never seen. Ay! Sister-in-law of the Chen family, you have a good life, a man is a good man, he has a prosperous life, and the most important thing is to have a good son, filial piety, good grades, and a talent, will he be bad in the future? You have hope," the Xie family's mother-in-law said enviously. "Where! Your Haiqing is also good, the young man looks energetic. Mother Chen replied with a smile. Ay! Don't mention it, that kid in my family, he doesn't study hard, he only knows how to fool around, fall in love, this is not long ago, his head teacher called me away, and I was ashamed. He didn't listen either. It's like your Mu Qin, who has good academic performance and knows that he feels sorry for you, how old is this, so he is a strong laborer. The mother-in-law of the Xie family sighed and said with envy, not only disappointed in her own children, but also envious of other people's children. Mother Chen laughed, yes, Mu Qin is really sensible. The girl also laughed, proud that she had such a Mu Qin brother. Hearing Aunt Xie's ridiculous words just now, in fact, she was not annoyed at all, but a little happy, looking forward to the good time with Brother Mu Qin in the future, how beautiful it would be!

After the sun climbed out of the mountain, he climbed up again, Chen Muqin finished the ground, came to the seedling field, greeted the elders in the surrounding fields, and then said, "Mom, I will put the seedlings into the ground, and let Xintong help me sort out the rope later, and I will start planting seedlings." If you don't have a good waist, just pull out the seedlings here. "When the girl saw the boy coming, she glanced up, her face turned red again, she quickly lowered her head, and she couldn't help but glance at the young man, thinking of the joke just now, and quickly looked away, dodging, so cute." Mu Qin, you are filial to your mother, why are you willing to make your daughter-in-law! The mother-in-law of the Xie family teased the young man again. Chen Muqin glanced at the girl, and suddenly understood that it was Aunt Xie who was ridiculing herself and Xintong, her face turned red, and she changed the topic and said, "Auntie, where is your Haiqing?" Why didn't you come to help you with your work? "Hey, don't mention it, that kid doesn't know where to go crazy again, how can he be like you" Chen Muqin saw that he had successfully changed the topic, so he hurriedly said, "Auntie, you are busy, I will go to the rice seedlings." Chen Muqin put the rice seedlings on the shore to cool the water, put them in a frame, and carried them to the prepared field with a flat pole, Xiao Hei saw the master's movements, so he also followed with a handful of rice seedlings in his mouth, the young man saw it, whistled, Xiao Hei ran more happily, his body was splashed with muddy water, the girl saw the appearance of a person and a dog, laughed, got up and said, "Aunt Li, I'll help Brother Mu Qin." Mother Chen smiled and nodded. The girl carried a few handfuls of rice seedlings and chased after the boy, but because of the speed, she almost fell on her head. The boy carried two baskets of rice seedlings, walked forward in the paddy field, and did not struggle, each step fell into the water, the toes grasped the ground, the steps were not big, but the walk was fast, this is a typical Bajiquan footwork, the boy walked quite steadily, he had reached the east end of the ground, and was about to finish the rice seedlings, the girl carried a few handfuls of rice seedlings, panting before arriving. "Brother Mu Qin, do you know how to plant seedlings?" The girl evened out the rice seedlings in her hand, and asked. "Yes, I've seen others do it, just follow it up, it's not difficult." The young man replied while leveling the rice seedlings. "Then I'll be with you, too." The girl continued. "Good. Let's straighten out the rope first, and you stick to the side and learn slowly. The boy nodded. Soon, the two finished the rope, the boy began to plant the seedlings, between the two ropes, inserted eight lines, the boy was very fast, the hands were like flying, the seedlings stood in the water in a row, the girl looked at the boy, quickly lowered her head, and accelerated to do, but the speed was not reached, the seedlings were either falling, or floating, the girl shouted aggrievedly, "Brother Mu Qin, how did the seedlings I planted fall." The boy walked up to the girl and pointed, "Before you plant the seedlings, feel the landing point, avoid the place where the ground is too hard, and insert it where there is Xuan mud, don't use too much force, just stand still." Take your time and don't rush. "Oh, I understand, Brother Mu Qin, you are so powerful," the girl suddenly realized. The boy smiled, turned around and went back to continue planting. The two have been fighting for a day, and finally completed the task of planting rice in the Chen family's one-acre and six-point paddy field, but the main thing is that Chen Muqin has done a lot, he has a good waist and a quick start, unlike Wu Xintong, who bends over for a while to straighten up and rest, but the girl is also very hard, and when she sees the fruits of her labor, she shows a bright smile.
