"Can you pick it up today?" Lian Man'er put down the work in her hand and asked Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi nodded, "I heard just now that the head of the village over there came out, you can pick it up, and the second girl has already gone." ”
"Then let's go too." Lian Man'er hurriedly said, "Xiao Qi, you go to the threshing floor, let my sister and brother also, let's go." ”
"Hey." Xiao Qi said yes and ran out.
Picking up autumn is a unique activity in the countryside after the autumn harvest. It is also simple to say, that is, after the owner of the field has harvested the crops, he allows others to enter the field and pick up the crops left in the field, such as ears of grain and ears of sorghum.
Picking up autumn is also particular, only after people clean up the land, can they go into the field to pick up autumn. For example, if someone is cutting grain in front of you, and you follow closely behind to pick it up, then even the most honest crop will unceremoniously drive you out of the field. That's not called picking up autumn, that's called Ming robbery.
As a rule, picking up autumn is a patent for children. Throughout the year, except for the Chinese New Year, the happiest season for children is autumn, although it is also their busiest and most tiring season.
After a while, Lian Zhi'er and Gorou followed Xiao Qi. Lian Man'er said to Zhang, took out the wicker basket that had been prepared a long time ago, carried one in each person's hand, and walked to the field.
They were going to the place where they were gleaning, and it was farther away. It is further south of Nanshan, and the field where they often dig wild vegetables is separated by a small hill beam. There is a large area of farmland, which is said to belong to a large family surnamed Shen. It is said that the people of the Shen family live in Fucheng, and there are not many farms like this. This year, a large area of grain was planted in this field, and it was just cleaned up today, and the people in the grange let out a word, and those who picked up autumn could go in and pick up ears of grain.
By the time Lian Man'er and the others arrived, there were already many children in the field. They all mentioned Chapter 65 and gathered the grain in the basket, and bent down in the ground to look for it. Lian Man'er looked at it, this piece of land is not to say three or four tilts, the grain in the field has been harvested, and only about two inches long millet stubble remains. There were still bales of straw in the field that had not been carried away, and some straw was scattered in the field.
The nutrition of millet porridge is very good, and this year the family did not grow millet. Lian Man'er plans to pick up as many ears of grain as possible, so that she will have millet porridge to drink in the morning.
As soon as they arrived in the field, the children quickly searched for a piece of land, kept a certain interval and lined up in a row, and began to slowly search from one end of the ground to the other. Lian Man'er held a basket in one hand and a branch in the other, and her eyes quickly searched the ground, and she also used the branch to pluck away the scattered straw and weeds to find the ears of grain. Soon, a golden and plump ear of grain was hidden among the scattered straws and wild vegetables, and Lian Vine hurriedly bent down to pick up the ear and put it in the basket.
It's a nice feeling of this windfall. Lian Man'er found an ear of grain, and her mood immediately soared. After all, it is the land that has been cleaned up by others, and some ears of grain, only half of them are left, or half of them are missing, and most of the grains on some of them have fallen off, but these have been picked up like treasures by Lian Man. Little things add up, she understands this.
The labor passed very quickly, and the sun had risen to the right sky. The autumn sun shines on people, and after a long time, they will feel pain. Fortunately, Lian Man'er wore a straw hat and wrapped her whole body tightly, even if she sweated a little, she wouldn't get sunburned. They had gone from one end of the ground to the other, and even the man's basket already contained most half of the basket of ears of grain. In front of them, across a bend, was a village, and at the head of the village there was a large courtyard, which was the farmer of the owner of the field.
Isn't it because most of the people in the village are tenants of this Zhuangzi's land, and the owner of this Zhuangzi is surnamed Shen, and this village is called Xiao Shentun. Lianman'er, further south, there is also a village called Da Shen Tun.
Looking back again, they were already far away from the thirty-mile camp, and the thirty-mile camp had turned into a cluster of small black dots in Lian Man'er's eyes.
"Let's take a break." Lian Man'er beckoned a few children to come to her side.
At this moment, two people on the other side of the river led a horse and walked slowly.
Lian Man'er glanced at it, but didn't care, she sat on the ground with Lian Zhi'er, Gorou and Xiao Qi, she took out a cloth bag from the basket, opened it, and there were four pancake rolls inside. This is a pancake baked in the morning, Lian Man'er brushed a layer of meat sauce in it, rolled shredded green onions, shredded dried tofu, and capers, which are intended to be added to the meal.
The children divided the pancake rolls and ate them in large gulps.
As soon as Lian Man'er took a bite, she saw the two people leading the horse closer, and there was still a person sitting right away.
"Huh." The horse came to a sudden stop next to Lian Man'er, and it was a fat boy right away. He didn't wait for the little guy who followed him to pick him up, and jumped off his horse.
"Oh, my young master, you have to get off the horse and talk to the little one, if you fall well, the little one can be explained." Both of them screamed in unison.
"You don't have to." Little Fat Dun pushed the little guy away and ran to Lian Man'er in a few steps, "Bigfoot girl, what are you doing in my field?" ”
Lian Man'er looked up and recognized it, isn't this the annoying fat boy she met at Doctor Shi's house.
As the saying goes, seven or eight years old is a dog to hate, and Lian Man'er looks at the little boy at about this age. At this age, it is too rare for a child as well-behaved as Xiao Qi to be.
Lian Man'er didn't want to deal with this little brat, so she turned her head and pretended to look somewhere else.
The little boy jumped on both feet, and then jumped in front of Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er twisted his head to the other side again, and the little boy jumped again, standing in front of Lian Man'er again, and grinning, as if Lian Man'er was playing a novel game with him.
Lian Man'er was a little weak, and suddenly thought of something, and wanted to ask this kid.
"I'm here to glean the grain." Lian Man'er replied in a good voice, "By the way, how is Doctor Shi not skipping words."
The little fat man saw that Lian Man'er was willing to take care of him, so he got together and wanted to sit down next to Lian Man'er. A small servant immediately spread a brocade mat on the ground.
"Bigfoot girl will sit on this for you." The little fat man asked Lian Man'er to sit on the brocade cushion.
This little fat man has a brocade mat and does not sit down with a butt, but lets her, which makes Lian Man'er's perception of the little fat man improve a little.
"You can sit down, I have this." Even Man'er didn't sit directly on the ground, but picked up some straw and put a handkerchief on it.
"You sit on this cushion, I'll sit on yours." The little fat man stubbornly said, "Otherwise, I won't tell you about my uncle and grandfather." ”
It turned out that Imperial Doctor Shi was the uncle and grandfather of this little fat man.
Lian Man'er had something to ask him, thinking that he wouldn't be like a child, so he changed seats with him.
The little fat man sat down and looked at Lian Man'er.
"Otherwise, you can finish it first, and I'll tell you."
Only then did Lian Man'er remember that she still had a pancake roll in her hand and didn't eat it.
"You're afraid you can't get used to the food of our countrymen." Lian Man'er spoke, and looked to the side again, the little fat man was riding a very handsome jujube red horse, and the two little guys who followed him were also half-grown children, and the clothes and pants on his body were also very bright, not to mention the little fat man, with a gold collar around his neck, a purse tied around his waist, and foundation satin boots under his feet. "The people who follow you can't let you eat outside as much as you want."
"They are all my people, and they all listen to me." The little fat man said, "I'm used to eating, I'm afraid you won't be willing to eat it for me." ”
This little fat man is really hard to deal with. Lian Man'er thought about it, the food she made was very clean, and the taste was not good, so it shouldn't matter if she gave a little to the little fat man to eat.
"Then if you don't dislike it, I'll share half of you." Lian Man'er handed the pancake roll to the little fat man.
The little fat man broke half of the roll and took a bite.
"It's delicious, no wonder you're reluctant to give it to me."
Lian Man'er decided not to meet this little kid in general.
"I don't know your name yet." Lian Man'er asked.
"My name is Shen Qian, big-footed girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Lian Man'er, this is my sister, my name is Lian Zhi'er, my brother ......" Lian Man'er introduced Lian Zhi'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi to Shen Qian again.
Shen Qian greeted them one by one, and then said to Lian Man'er You just asked my uncle and grandfather, and my uncle and grandfather went back to live in the city. Is your family sick again, I'll help you ask your uncle and grandfather. ”
Your family is sick again, and Lian Man'er secretly rolled her eyes.
"Well, then, we want to go and say thank you." Lian Man'er asked again.
"I don't know, you're coming to Fucheng." Shen Qian ate half of the roll, and looked at the half in Lian Man'er's hand. Lian Man'er patronized it, and he didn't eat the roll in his hand at all.
"I've eaten this, so I'm not going to give it to you again." Lian Man'er said politely.
"I don't care." The little fat man Shen Qian showed a mouthful of white teeth with a smile, and stretched out his hand to the roll in Lian Man'er's hand.
"I care." Lian Man'er wanted to say, but Shen Qian's little fat hand had already grabbed the roll in her hand.
"Okay, here you go." Lian Man'er simply gave the roll to Shen Qian.
The rolls are made of millet noodles, but Shen Qian eats it very fragrantly, this is really not a picky eater, no wonder he is so fat, Lian Man'er thought to himself.
"Uncle and grandfather said that he likes the countryside in autumn, and he has something to do when he goes back to the city, and in two days, he should return to the town to live." Shen Qian finished eating the rolls and said, "Man'er, what are you doing in this field?" ”
"Gleaning ears, adding food to the house, you definitely don't understand." Lian Man'er said.
Shen Qian jumped up and pulled a little guy to the side, and before he knew what to say, the little guy ran towards the Zhuangzi.
Even Man'er stood up and greeted Shen Qian, "You play, I'm going to pick up ears of grain." ”
"You have been picking up for a long time, just like that, where is there enough to eat. Man'er, you can play with me. Shen Qian pulled Lian Man'er and didn't let her go to the ground.
"Well, you go on horseback to play, I still have something to do." Lian Man'er spoke, turned around and walked into the field.
Shen Qian grabbed the basket that Lian Man'er was carrying, "Man'er, look." Shen Qian pointed behind Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er turned his head and saw that the little guy just now was leading two crop men to walk quickly, and the two crop men were carrying heavy sacks on their backs.
"Man'er, you don't need to pick up ears of grain, these two bags of millet are enough for your family to eat? If that's not enough, I'll let them send it to you. The little fat man Shen Qian waved his two fat arms, and he was very wealthy.
Lian Man'er's face immediately darkened, she, even if it was because of Imperial Doctor Shi, she shouldn't have dealt with this annoying guy.
"Young Master of the Shen family, we gather ears of grain and rely on labor to eat. We have no relatives and no reason with you, but we don't dare to be so heavy by you. Lian Man'er sank his face and said.
"Don't we skip words. Shen Qian said. He didn't understand that Lian Man'er was suddenly angry, and she could only pick up less than a basket of ears of grain, and he gave her two bags of grain at once, shouldn't she be happy.
"We can't afford to be like you." Lian Man'er shook off Shen Qian and walked straight to the ground.
"What did I do, you tell me." Shen Qian looked very hurt.
Lian Man'er left Shen Qian and walked back with Lian Zhi'er.
"Man'er, do you know this little young master of the Shen family?" Lian Zhi'er asked Lian Man'er.
After going to Doctor Shi's house, Lian Man'er told Lian Zhi'er, but he didn't say anything about meeting Shen Qian. Now, while gleaning the ears of grain, she recounts the experience of that day.
Lian Man'er picked up the ears of grain, and suddenly felt that the basket in his hand seemed to be hanging. As soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Qian standing behind her, his chubby face covered with sweat. The two little guys were standing behind Shen Qian not far away, their faces full of helplessness.
Shen Qianxiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Man'er, give you this." Shen Qian's hand was holding the placket of his robe, on which were piled with a pile of ears of grain, as well as some leaves and weeds. "I'll pick it up for you."
Lian Man'er's eyes widened. She didn't accept the grain he sent, and he figured it out, so he picked up the ears of grain for her?
Lian Man'er didn't say yes for a while.
The clothes of the two boys were also dirty.
"You didn't pick it up alone, did you? There are not many words" Lian Man'er said.
"Hehe, the two of them don't use it, I picked it up most." Shen Qian said.
"You finally picked it up, so you might as well keep it." Lian Man'er said.
"No, it's all for you, Man'er, it's all for you." Shen Qian said hurriedly.
Shen Qian is like this, Lian Man'er is not easy to refuse.
"Thank you very much." Lian Man'er said.
"Man'er, we are," Shen Qian said.
"Young master, Zhuang Tou has brought someone to find it." The two little guys approached and said.
Lian Man'er turned her head, and sure enough, she saw a group of people hurrying from the other side of the river.
"Man'er, then I'll go first." Shen Qian hurriedly handed over the ears of grain to Lian Man'er, and ran to the ground with his two little guys, and before he could be picked up on the horse, the group of people had already arrived.
Lian Man'er watched Shen Qian being surrounded by that group of people and going to Zhuangzi, this Shen Xiaopang didn't seem to be so annoying. Lian Man'er thought so, and subconsciously touched her sleeve, hey, her handkerchief.
She, this Shen Xiaopang is really still annoying.
