When Fox Dayou went out, he happened to meet the Ruan family of the Tang family.

Ruan is Tang Daming's in-laws, Xuan Yuanling's mother.

I didn't expect that Fox Dayou would come to visit the door at this time, Ruan Shi was stunned and immediately smiled: "It's Dayou, you also came to find the village chief?" ”

Fox Dayou withdrew one foot that was about to step out, turned sideways to let her in first, and said, "Yes! It's already noon, and I'm about to go back! ”

"Then you go slowly, don't send it." As he spoke, Ruan had already entered the courtyard and walked towards Tang Daming.

Fox Dayou walked out of Tang's house, just in time to hear Ruan's enthusiastic conversation with Tang Daming.

"What are you doing with your in-laws...... Yo, it can't be the list registered yesterday...... Hehe, in-laws, look ......"

"Oh, in-laws, didn't I tell you all last night......

The voice of the speaker was suppressed, and the fox Dayou sped up his steps, and when he got home, Wei Sanniang had already cooked the meal. Since they had rented the land and had eaten noon, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang carried their hoes to the dry land behind.

Fox Xiaomei helped Fox Lixiang clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when Fox Lixiang washed the dishes, the two sisters also went out together. However, the family has a limited number of farmers, only two hoes, and can only find a way to borrow them when the time comes.

When the two walked halfway, they met Wang, Wang was squatting on the side of the road and washing something, the basin was red, and there was a pot next to it, Zhou Chengqi stood by with a bow and waist to pour water from the basin to wash his hands, it seemed that he had just come back from work somewhere.

In the morning at the bazaar, Wang had a very good impression of the two sisters, and when she saw the two, she immediately stood up. He smiled and said to the two, "Lixiang, where are you going?" Come on, come on. Come and taste this sour fruit, which your Uncle Zhou just picked back from the mountains. ”

Red fruit. The fresh and tender bath drops are the sour fruits that Fox Xiaomei and Fox Dayou saw yesterday, as well as Wei Qingbao on the mountain.

Yesterday, Hu Xiaomei still wanted to wait for a few days to be ripe before picking it, but she didn't expect to be picked back by Zhou Chengqi today, and then look at the large pile of red and red fruits in the pot, it is estimated that they have been picked almost.

Fox Xiaomei secretly sighed that it was a pity, smiled and took a sour fruit from the fox and put it in her mouth, with a hint of astringency in the sweet and sour, and the same taste as yesterday!

And the fox hedge incense immediately frowned after taking a bite. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Wang: "Aunt Wang, it's so sour!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Shi also picked up a sour fruit and threw it into his mouth, took a bite and frowned slightly, and immediately smiled and said: "It's very sour, but it's sweet and sour, and the taste is not bad." During the day, you can eat two when you are sleeping. Then he handed it to the two of them again: "Take some more and go back, and give your father and mother a taste." ”

Yesterday, when digging yellow mud in Xiaojiahe, Fox Dayou said that this sour fruit had nothing to eat, and when he came home and talked about it, Wei Sanniang didn't even interject. I think neither of them likes to eat this.

Fox Xiaomei stretched out her white and tender little hand and took two of them, and said to Wang with a smile: "Aunt Wang, my father and mother don't like to eat these things very much. Still, I think it's pretty good. Just take two more. "A reserved smile and a soft voice make people feel good.

Wang became more enthusiastic and said very generously: "It's okay, it's okay." When you Uncle Zhou went to the river today, he saw this sour fruit tree on the side of the Xiaojia River, and picked some back, all of them are wild, and they are not specially planted by anyone, you can take them casually, take more and eat them, you are welcome. ”

Take whatever you want, eat whatever you want, if they grow their own home, will they feel distressed if they eat two more?

Fox Xiaomei looked at her with a slight smile.

Fox Lixiang pushed back with a smile, and said sincerely: "Aunt Wang, I really don't need it, my father and mother don't like to eat these sour things, and I don't like it either, thank you for your kindness, you can keep it for yourself!" ”

"Yes, yes, Aunt Wang, Daddy and Mother don't like to eat this sour and astringent thing, so I occasionally eat two." Saying that, Hu Xiaomei's eyes rolled around, and she continued with a smile: "Auntie, you are so good, thank you so much." However, our sisters are now going to hoe in the field, if the eldest lady finds it convenient, can you lend us the hoe at the eldest mother's house? ”

Wang was stunned and said, "Sanniang and Dayou just went to the field, do you two sisters also want to go to the field to hoe?" ”

"yes!" Fox Xiaomei pursed her lips, distressed and worried: "Seeing that there is more work in this field, now I still have to grow vegetables, my father and mother get up every morning to grind bean curd if the chicken does not crow, and now I have to go to hoe in the dry land, I can't even sleep well, my sister and I want to help do something, but we only have two hoes, so I want to borrow from someone." ”

So that's it!

Wang suddenly, it seems that although Fox Dayou's bean curd business is good, the two of them are still very hard, although the bean curd business is good, but it is only a copper plate and a bowl, and they don't make much money. In the future, there will be more work in the busy farming season, day after day, year after year, and the iron body will not be able to withstand such grinding.

Thinking like this, Wang suddenly felt that he felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

She put her down and said to the two sisters with a smile: "Why didn't you say it earlier? What's this, it's just a hoe. Our family is useless now, if you want to borrow it, you can use it. He turned his head to Zhou Chengqi, who had already entered the yard, and said, "Child, father, take out the two hoes in our house and give them to the eldest sister and the second sister." ”

Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence Fragrance hurriedly thanked her. Wang smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you, if you want to borrow it in the future, come and say it." ”

The two sisters naturally thanked each other again, and said a bunch of nice things. As he spoke, Zhou Chengqi took out the two hoes.

"Uncle Zhou." Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence Xiang immediately laughed and shouted.

Zhou Chengqi was originally an honest man, and the two clever little girls shouted to themselves, so they naturally responded with a smile on their faces, gave the two hoes to the two sisters, and said kindly: "This hoe is bigger and heavier, the little girl's hands are small, and she will go back to change with her father." ”

There are two kinds of hoes in rural areas according to the size of the hoe, one is the piece hoe, the hoe is wider than the palms of the two hands, and the digging is faster and heavier; There is also a digging hoe, which is only half the size of a palm, and is suitable for more delicate work. But both are called hoes, and both are used for digging the ground.

It's the same in most people's homes.

Fox Lixiang took a hoe, gave the lighter hoe to Hu Xiaomei, and said to Zhou Chengqi with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Said goodbye to Zhou Chengqi, and then the two sisters carried their hoes to the dry land.

As soon as the two sisters left, Wang came back to his senses and muttered to Zhou Chengqi: "Their family only has two vegetable fields, why do they need to hoe all the family?" ”

*

When they arrived at the dry land, Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou occupied one side and were digging the ground, worthy of being authentic croppers, and the two had already dug a small piece out. But compared to an acre of dry land, this little bit is still too little, the ground is tight, solid, and you have to dig deep, just such a small piece, and both of them have fine sweat on their foreheads.

Fox Xiaomei walked to the edge of the field with a hoe, and with a wave of her hand, she tried to dig into the ground first, and the dry and tight dry land, so that the hoe only hoeed a layer of ground on the surface.

The delicate eyebrows furrowed, she spread out her hands, the white and tender palms only had shallow thin calluses, if you dig like this for an afternoon, I don't know if the palms will grind out bubbles.

Since Hu Xiaomei crossed over, she has been seriously ill for two consecutive years, Wei Sanniang is afraid that her small body will be exhausted, and she has not been allowed to do any key work in the past two years. used to think she was still young, but later she took care of her body.

It's a real physical job!

Fox Xiaomei touched her nose, she can't be lazy with this job today, if she doesn't do it today, it will be her turn another day, and after two years, Fox Lixiang will get married, and she will take over!

Picking up the hoe, Hu Xiaomei walked to the opposite side of Wei Sanniang, and the two hoeed from both ends, and when they met, they would hoe out a piece.

And Fox Lixiang walked towards Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang with a hoe, and the two of them saw the sisters from afar, and naturally saw the hoe in their hands, and before Fox Lixiang spoke first, Wei Sanniang spoke: "Where did you borrow this hoe?" ”

"On the way here, I happened to meet Aunt Wang, so I borrowed it from her house." Fox Lixiang put down the hoe and looked at Wei Sanniang.

Wei Sanniang used a digging hoe, the hoe was raised high, and when the hoe went down to the bottom of the mud, a piece of soil was loosened by the hoe and dug deep. Because it is a digging hoe, the soil that is hoeed is not as big as that of the fox big friend.

Fox Lixiang handed over the hoe: "Mother, let's change." ”

Wei Sanniang took the hoe to knock the loose soil to pieces, and then took the digging hoe in his hand to the fox fence incense, took the piece of hoe, and without saying a word, another hoe swung down, a large piece of soil was loosened by the hoe, and the hoe was beaten and beaten, and the big clod of soil became broken soil, fast and good. In this way, the progress of digging will not fall much to the fox Dayou. It can be faster, too!

She said, "It's still easy to use this hoe." Ask Fox Dayou: "Do we want to buy a hoe anymore?" ”

Fox Dayou didn't raise his head: "As long as you hoe loose for the first time, it will be good to dig it up later, the vegetables have not been planted yet, let's talk about it later!" ”

Also.

Wei Sanniang stopped talking.

Fox Lixiang walked to the side of Fox Xiaomei with a digging hoe, and Fox Dayou dug at both ends, seeing that Fox Xiaomei had never hoeed the ground, but she also hoeed well, but she had little strength, a hoe was not deep enough, and a place often had to hoe two or three times.

Fox Fence Xiang smiled and said, "Yo, this is all self-taught!" ”

The fox glanced at her, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

In her previous life, when Hu Xiaomei went to the countryside to play, she often heard some peasant women educating their children while working in the fields.

“…… It's tiring to work in the fields, right? Is it hard to be a farmer? Let me tell you, if you want to grow up and not do farm work, and if you don't become a farmer, you have to study hard, read good books, and have a good income, so you don't have to do all this hard work! ”

That's true!

This job is really not done by people, she is tired to death! (To be continued......)
