On this day, Xiao Yucheng and Uncle Zhou Qi led the water to the field, and Xiao Pei went to Uncle Zhou Qi's house in the evening and decided to start planting rice tomorrow.

Uncle Zhou's family has not finished their fields yet, and the five members of Uncle Zhou's family who have been busy planting late rice in the summer have been invited, namely the third uncle and his son Zhou Changlin and his wife Lu and Zhou Yuanlin Tan.

Early in the morning, Xiao Pei made a sumptuous breakfast according to the old practice in the village, and entertained several people who came to help.

After eating, it was only slightly bright, and the group took farm tools to the field.

First, go to the seedling field and pull up the seedlings that have grown four or five inches long. Because the Xiao family bought a newly bought field, they did not raise rice seedlings, but it happened that a family in the village tenanted the field of a landlord surnamed Chen in the county at the edge of the village and was suddenly taken back, and the raised seedlings were bought by the Xiao family without using them. It was still Li Zheng who happened to have some dealings with the landlord, and said a few words on his behalf, and the seedlings only stayed for so many days.

These rice seedlings are plucked and tied into small bundles, and then put into the basket and carried to the paddy fields.

The water in the field was about three inches deep, and several people put down their burdens and threw bundles of seedlings into the field, and then Zhou Changlin and Zhou Yuanlin continued to pick seedlings in the seedling field, while the three uncles, Lu and Tan began to plant seedlings in the field.

The third aunt pulled up her pants and went to the field, shook the straw that bundled the seedlings in the air a few times, and then began to plant the grass neatly with her two daughters-in-law. They grabbed a handful of untied bundles of seedlings and put them in their left hands, while their right hands quickly planted the seedlings, and they stepped back as they planted, skillfully completing one piece in a short time.

At a glance, the seedlings planted in the field are neatly arranged.

The Xiao family sisters and brothers watched for a while, and also went down to the field to learn to plant seedlings. It's just that the three of them are hand-born, and the insertion is crooked and crooked, which is very ugly.

"I wonder if I can live?" Xiao Pei was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Yu smiled: "Sister don't worry, it's just that hoeing is a little inconvenient, it's okay." ”

Xiao Pei and the three of them inserted slowly, and they were far ahead of the Zhou family.

Zhou Changlin and Zhou Yuanlin quickly picked up the seedlings and put them in the field, and also went down to the field to plant seedlings. The sun was rising, scorching the earth. Although several people were wearing hats, they were still sweating hot.

The sweat on his head flowed into his eyes, Xiao Yu hurriedly wiped it with his clean sleeves, and poured a large mouthful of water on the ridge of the field. The Zhou family is extremely quick in their hands. Looking at the sun, it is only halfway through the hour, and more than one acre of land has been planted, so that four acres of paddy fields should be completed today.

Xiao Yu was very happy and continued to go to the field to plant seedlings.

"Ahh Xiao Pei suddenly screamed.

Several people hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see Xiao Peihua looking at their feet with a disgraced face, and hurriedly asked what happened, but Xiao Pei trembled and couldn't speak.

Xiao Yucheng had already passed, and following Xiao Pei's frightened gaze, he saw a yellow-brown locust attached to his calf to suck blood, and he dared to reach out and take it away, and the blood suddenly meandered down.

"Sister, don't panic, there was a bite to me just now, it's okay to take it away."

Xiao Yucheng wiped the bloodstains, saw that it stopped, and helped Xiao Pei, who was weak, to the ridge. saw that Lu Shi also ripped off a locust from his leg and stomach. Seeing this, Xiao Pei involuntarily shrank back, and then his face turned red, showing shame in his heart.

Xiao Yu said: "It's normal to be afraid of locusts, but in fact, I was stunned when I saw it." I was scared to be bitten on the first time. ”

"Isn't it, I was scared to cry." Lu agreed. It's just that she was six or seven years old at that time, and the first time she went down to the field, she was bitten by a few locusts.

Xiao Pei's face was much better when he heard this.

The sun was getting hotter, and the hands and feet of the Zhou family were getting faster and faster, and Xiao Yu was very amazed. The three sisters and brothers of the Xiao family are also quite proficient, and only half an acre of land is left in the middle of the day.

So everyone said: "It's almost like this, it's better to plug in first and then go back, and I won't have to go there in the afternoon." ”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "In this case, a few people work hard, and this half day will be counted as more wages." ”

The Zhou family was very happy, and humbly continued to plant seedlings with a few words, although the sun was scorching, the momentum was more than just now, and it was finished after a while.

How could the three sisters and brothers have ever been exposed to the sun like this? Grilled to the point of dizziness.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu was prepared and brought cool balm herbs to relieve some of the heat. Just look at it this way, and if you don't peel off your skin when you go back, you have to go black.

Everyone hurriedly packed up their things and went home.

For lunch, Xiao Pei made lotus leaf steamed pork patties, egg rolls, stuffed tofu, stewed winter melon with big bones and cold wild vegetables, which were very hearty and enjoyed the guests.

According to the original salary for half a day, it was counted as five wen, but Xiao Yu said it first, and it was the first time to ask someone to help, and several people in the Zhou family did a good job, Xiao Yu gave eight wen money each, and the five of them went back happily.

The three of them were sweating profusely, Xiao Pei also took a shower like Xiao Yu today, and Xiao Yucheng went to the river to take a bath. Then gossip in the shade in front of the house.

"It's hard to farm." Xiao Pei sighed.

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement: "Cutting is more tired." The bales of rice were so heavy that they couldn't move, and the thorns were mixed with sweat on their bodies, red and itchy. But what to do without getting tired? Sister A and Yucheng copy books and embroider all day long, with back pain, hurting their eyes, and working hard. ”

Xiao Pei smiled gently: "I'm used to needlework, it's nothing, it's better not to be so tired in the future." ”

At this time, it was too sunny outside and it was very easy to get heat stroke, and the villagers were resting at home, so Aunt Qi came over to talk to a few people about some agricultural arrangements for fertilization and weeding, and finally said: "In the afternoon, I will go to the field under Niujiao Mountain, and quickly plant the field while there is water." He sighed again: "That piece of land was fine two years ago, but now it is getting thinner and thinner." Your newly purchased fields are fertile, and they are not susceptible to drought and flooding. ”

Xiao Pei got up to send him off, and said with a smile: "It was also the light of Ah Yu that bought this good land." ”

"Why not plant another crop of green manure after the autumn harvest? Milk vetch or something. ”

Xiao Yu saw that several people looked puzzled, maybe they hadn't heard of it, and said: "It's okay to plant mung beans, and it is recorded in the book that their seedlings can also fertilize the field." ”

"Yes, I'll try it this year." The seventh aunt thought that it must be good to write like this in the book, so she went back with a voice.

Xiao Yucheng asked curiously, "What is Zi Yuying?" ”

Xiao Yu described it for a long time, and the two of them really didn't know what it was, and they were a little emotional at the moment.

I still remember that when I was a child in my previous life, my family lived in the countryside. In autumn and winter, the rice is harvested, and the fields are planted with a large green field of milk vetch, which is full of flowers, attracting bees and butterflies. She and her friends walked through the fields after school, and often picked a handful of them back to cook.

Sometimes, three or five little sisters even took pots and oil and salt from home, and roasted sweet potatoes on the hillside of the sky, and blanched milk vetch to eat.

Xiao Yu told the two of them about some other crops that were not available in the world, and only said that they had seen them in books.

"A few days ago, I copied a book that mentioned that in ancient times, there was a kind of millet that was as yellow as gold, and the yield was extremely abundant, so that there was no hunger in the world, which was fascinating. It was originally called corn. ”

Xiao Yucheng was surprised that Xiao Yu knew so much, thinking that she had read a lot of books before, which showed that her family background was quite profound, but she didn't know why she was outside.

Hearing Xiao Yucheng say this, Xiao Yu was surprised. She thought that these crops had not yet been introduced from overseas, and she thought that there were already records in the book, so she asked a few words at the moment, but unfortunately Xiao Yucheng did not know about it.

The night was dark, and the evening breeze blew away some of the summer heat. From time to time, fireflies flew by.

Xiao Yu raised his head, only to see that the dark blue sky was exceptionally pure, the floating clouds were light, the stars were bright and extinguished, and the crescent moon was delicate and elegant.

"You're watching the sky?" Xiao Yucheng asked.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, turned his head and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of master?" ”

The pen in Xiao Yucheng's hand paused for a moment before it fell onto the paper, and only after a while did he say: "It's that I'm thinking too much, thinking that you even know this." ”

"You think too highly of me." Xiao Yu closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze on his face, and said comfortably, "The beautiful scenery of a good day can't be disappointed, not to mention the pleasure." ”
