Chapter 31: Zhong Jiafeng harvests wheat

In May, the weather slowly gets hot, and the ripe and yellowed wheat covers the ridges, and the breeze blows through the waves to form layers of waves.

At this time, Zhong Xuanlan and his party were standing on the ridge and looking at the more than one acre of field in front of them.

Zhong Xuanli looked at the wheat in front of him with a headache and said, "Sister, can we finish harvesting this mu today?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan is also worried!

Zhong Tinghao tightened his sleeves and trouser legs, and said, "Go to work, finish your work early, and go home early." So he went down to the field and harvested the wheat.

Wang Xuannian glanced at the person beside him, and also went to the ground.

Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and said, "Let's divide the work." ”

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows, pointed to the third ridge and said, "That's yours." The rest of us harvested. ”

Zhong Xuanli lamented: "Sister, that's too long!" ”

Zhong Tinghao said: "Stinky boy, this is plus you last year." ”

Zhong Xuanli was speechless, wasn't he just half a day late!

Nine people went down to the field and began to work in full swing, and after half a day, several people stood on the ridge of the field to see that the wheat in the field was cut unevenly, like a dog gnawing half of it, and several people had disgust in their eyes.

Zhong Tinghao said with disgust: "Tsk, I have been cutting wheat for more than 30 years. When will it not be used. ”

Zhong You said: "Master, haven't you learned to cut wheat for more than 30 years?" Mine is better than yours. ”

Zhong Tinghao pursed his lips, touched his nose, skimmed the embarrassment, and said, "Aren't I old?" ”

Zhong Xuanli rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, look at your brother-in-law." ”

Everyone listened and saw that Wang Xuannian's cutting and stacking were all neat and neat, and the speed was faster than any of them, and now he was the most cut among them.

Zhong Tinghao said: "My son-in-law works hard, so that I can rest early." ”

Zhong Xuanli thought to himself: It would be nice if his brother-in-law could help him, and said, "Brother-in-law, it's amazing!" ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Zhong Tinghao's father and son, and said, "No matter how powerful you are, I won't help you." With that, he led Wang Xuannian away.

Several people glanced at Zhong Xuanli and left with a smile.

Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and thought: Is my mind so obvious?

After the people left, the steward of the grange brought people to clean up the wheat that Zhong Xuanlan had harvested.

Someone said: "Are these people idle?" ”

The steward said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is the tradition of Zhongfu, since I have been here for thirty years, every year they will come to harvest this acre of wheat." But this year, there's a decent job. ”

Here, Wang Xuannian touched Zhong Xuanlan's blistering palm, his heart hurt, he frowned slightly and looked at the person on the side, and said, "Does it hurt?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Wang Xuannian for some reason.

Wang Xuannian gently picked up Zhong Xuanlan's hand, opened it, and said, "It's all turned into blood bubbles." Doesn't it hurt? "He used to have blisters in his palms, but it hurt, stained with sweat, hot, aren't you afraid of pain?

Zhong Xuanlan touched Wang Xuannian's head and said, "Just get used to it." ”

Wang Xuannian lowered his head and muttered, "It's good to get used to it." "Have you ever encountered anything else?

Nothing to say all the way.

At noon, a basin of ice filled the lobby with a cool air, and everyone was sitting in the lobby eating egg noodles made by Wang Xuannian.

Xia Zhi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Big boss, we work so hard, is there any reward?" ”

Several people looked at Zhong Xuanlan with blazing eyes, and the corners of Zhong Xuanlan's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "What do you want?" ”

Xia Zhi's eyes looked at Zhong Xuanlan with sparkling eyes, and proposed, "Silver." ”

Qiu Zhi said: "Xia Zhi, you are a money fan, a big boss, I want to take a vacation." ”

"Sister, can you lift the grounding?"

Zhong Xuanlan thought for a while and said, "On the summer solstice, you sold the wheat at a high price as a reward for you, as for you,"

Zhong Xuanli blinked, expecting Zhong Xuanlan's answer.

"No, I can't. But I'll give you a reward tomorrow morning. ”

Zhong Xuanli nodded with some disappointment.

Zhong Tinghao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Daughter, I don't need it." ”

Zhong You refused: "Big boss, I don't need it." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone thinks it's cool.

After an afternoon, the wheat harvest was finished.

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Xuannian woke up, cautiously retreated from Zhong Xuanlan's embrace, got up and left the room.

After the people left, Zhong Xuanlan got up and went to the back mountain alone to see the peach trees planted by the family in the past.

Zhong Xuanlan touched the peach tree that had been thirteen years old, and his thoughts went back to the past......

The five-year-old asked, "Mother, when the peach blossoms bloom, can I use them to make peach blossom cakes?" ”

Zhong Mu smiled and nodded.

Zhong Xuanli said: "Mother, you have to make a little more, otherwise my sister will finish eating alone." ”

Zhong Mu used her right index finger to scratch Zhong Xuanli's nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two little gluttonous cats." ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the peach tree, but unfortunately it looked like a person, so he flew up to the tree, picked the peaches and left.

Wang Xuannian stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited anxiously, and when he saw the person walking in, he quickly stepped forward, hugged Zhong Xuanlan, and said eagerly: "Lan'er, where have you been?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan patted him on the back and said, "Pick peaches." ”

"Oh. The peaches don't seem to be ripe, right? ”

Zhong Xuanlan hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "You can eat it." Let's go, let's go eat. ”

"Okay."

Zhong Xuanlan led Lu Xuannian with one hand, and walked into the lobby with a cloth bag in the other.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the cloth bag in Zhong Xuanlan's hand.

Zhong Xuanli pouted, reward, hehe, he is not rare. said: "Sister, that peach is not it." ”

Seeing Zhong Xuanlan's threatening gaze, he changed his words: "Let's eat together." ”

Everyone glared at Zhong Xuanli in unison.

Zhong Tinghao said: "Daughter, son-in-law, let's eat." "Procrastinate, let's talk about it after everything is eaten.

Everyone nodded.

After breakfast, everyone could not avoid eating peaches in pain.

Wang Xuannian felt that this was the "most delicious" peach he had ever tasted, bitter and astringent, but why was Zhong Xuanlan able to eat it calmly?

Zhong Xuanlan saw that everyone had finished eating the peaches, so he let them go, and everyone hurriedly ran out to rinse their mouths and drink water.

Zhong Xuanlan said to Wang Xuannian: "You can go if you want to." Seeing that Wang Xuannian was puzzled, he said again: "Rinse your mouth and drink water." ”

Wang Xuannian asked, "Don't you need it?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan shook his head and said, "It is the last good memory of our family. ”

Wang Xuannian asked, "It, does it have any story?" ”

When Wang Xuannian thought that he couldn't get an answer, Zhong Xuanlan replied: "When I was five years old, we came here to plant a peach tree, and we made an appointment to make peach blossom cakes in the coming year." But we lost the people who made the peach cakes that day. ”

Wang Xuannian felt a faint sadness on Zhong Xuanlan's body, that person was his mother-in-law, what happened that day?

He didn't ask, but reached out and took her hand, and sat in silence with her.

After a long time, Zhong Xuanlan got up and said, "Let's go, let's go dry wheat, it's time to go back to the city in the afternoon." ”

"Okay."

In the afternoon, everyone went back to the city together......

Several horses galloped quickly on the road, Wang Xuannian felt the excitement brought by the speed, and at the same time felt the peace of mind brought to him by the person behind him.

Wang Xuannian knew that once he entered Kyoto City, the distance between them would be far away, and he wished that time would be slower, and he wanted to stay with her for a while.

But the time will come after all, and the moment they stepped into the Zhong Mansion, she walked into the study in the front yard, and he went to the backyard.
