After the old gentleman finished the coursework, he took a dozen pens and a stack of straw paper from the table, put a few on each table, and asked the children to start practicing words slowly, and they patrolled back and forth in front of each table. Occasionally, one or two children were relieved and walked away, and after being gently knocked on the head by the husband with a ring ruler, they began to practice again. Xiao Zheng saw that there was nothing on his desk, so he said goodbye to his husband and went to the backyard to prepare to herd the cattle, Jin'er also hurriedly followed, helping Xiao Zheng drive the cattle out of the cowshed, and after going out, Xiao Zheng led the cattle alone and walked out of the village. The people in the small village are very simple, everyone knows that Xiao mother and son came to Mr. Li's house last night, and they greeted Xiao Zheng warmly, when the villagers saw him leading the cow on the road, some farmers also stroked the cow's back a few times to smooth out the cow's hair, and some peasant women also gave the vegetable leaves in the basket to the two cows to eat, and everyone was very affectionate to the two cows.

When he arrived at the river outside the village, Xiao Zheng loosened the rope of the cow, let the two cows graze by the river, and lay down with his back against the big tree, which was extremely cool under the shade of the tree, and looked at the birds chirping on the branches and the lotus flowers fluttering in the lotus pond with Erlang's legs, and the beautiful scenery was eye-catching. Xiao Zheng's face turned red and hurriedly turned over from under the tree and stood up, Jin'er looked at him and smiled: "My father saw that you used to be a child of a big family, and I saw that you had never let go of the cow, so I didn't worry about letting me come over to see you, but I didn't expect you to be lazy and sleep here the first day of herding cattle." Xiao Zheng scratched his head embarrassedly and replied: "It's really tiring to run around these days, and suddenly I settled down and felt that the scenery of this small village was good, I wanted to lie down and watch the cows, but I didn't expect to fall asleep, Sister Jin'er, don't laugh." When Jin'er heard Xiao Zheng call her sister, she pouted and said to Xiao Zheng: "Your face is really big enough, who is your sister?" Xiao Zheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and took the opportunity to fork the topic and asked Jin'er: "What about the cow?" I saw Jin'er laugh again: "You should untie the rope hanging on the horns and tie it longer, and then tie the rope to a tree or a stone, and then untie them after half an hour, and change to a place with more grass." In this way, you are not tired and the cow can't run, and you don't care if you throw the rope like you, what if the cow is taken away by the bad guys, if you want to herd the cow like you, you will lose all ten cows, you won't even let the cow go, you are really stupid, and you are lazy to sleep." Jin'er couldn't help but laugh again as she spoke.

Seeing Jin'er smiling happily, Xiao Zheng asked cheekily and without words: "Then why don't you go to herd cattle in the morning?" Jin'er said: "The grass and dew in the morning are heavy, and the livestock eat and have a stomach, I will tell you that there are two cows, a male and a female, the yellow one is called rhubarb, and the black and white flower is called Xiaohua, and the people in the village are also called like this." After finishing speaking, Jin'er took Xiao Zheng around a small pond and saw two cows grazing leisurely with their heads down. Jin'er shouted in the past, and the two cows slowly walked towards her, Jin'er skillfully untied the rope coiled on the horns of the cow, tied one end to the tree, and then took out the sickle from the side of the path and began to cut the grass, and said to Xiao Zheng while cutting: "The grass is growing strong now, we have to prepare forage for rhubarb and Ah Hua for the winter, and carry the grass back to dry it for the two of them to eat in winter, so that they will not starve in winter."

Xiao Zheng saw Jin'er cutting the grass skillfully, looked down at his hands and felt that there seemed to be nothing here, so he said embarrassedly: "I'm a big man, and now I can't even mow the grass." Jin'er smiled: "You look like a pampered person, when you were a child, you were used to eating and stretching your hands, unlike us who grew up in the fields with adults." He cut a strand of grass and twisted it a few times to form a straw rope, held the grass into a stack and bundled it, and put a small stack of small stacks into a basket. Looking at the beads of sweat oozing from Jin'er's forehead, who was busy mowing the grass, and a few strands of hair sticking to her forehead, the girl's simplicity and the beauty of labor made Xiao Zheng feel a little moved......

Taking advantage of Jin'er's time to fill the basket with grass, Xiao Zheng picked up the sickle on the ground, Jin'er saw Xiao Zheng's clumsy appearance when cutting the grass, and couldn't help but laugh again, the laughter passed through the woods, startled a few frogs on the lotus leaves, jumped into the water and went to the pond, and the water ripples scattered in a circle. Several times Xiao Zheng used too much force, almost cutting his leg, Jin'er hurriedly reminded him to be careful not to hurt his leg, and at the same time corrected Xiao Zheng's working posture little by little on the side, Xiao Zheng was also infected by Jin'er's happiness, just learned to mow such a simple farm work, Xiao Zheng did it well, at the cost of grinding a few blisters on the hand holding the sickle.

When the two of them were talking, the cow had unconsciously reached the setting of the sun, Xiao Zheng saw that the two cows had eaten enough, lying on the grass and slowly regurgitating, chewing in their mouths. Seeing that the grass in the basket was full, the two of them chatted for a while and went home together, the red sunset shone on the outline of the mountain, reflecting a circle of golden halo on the side of the mountain, Jin'er walked slowly with the rhubarb flower in front, Xiao Zheng picked two grass baskets, the first time he picked the flat burden to find the center of gravity, Xiao Zheng was pressed by the flat burden and swayed, the way back was sprinkled with Jin'er's laughter, although Xiao Zheng's wrists and waist were very sore, but he was so happy to see such a beautiful girl as Jin'er, I felt happy for the first time in the last half a year of coming to Datang.

The two of them took the cow into the yard, and saw that there were two or three farmers in the yard who were about to go out, and when they asked Jin'er, they knew that they were people from the neighborhood who came to see the doctor, and after seeing the doctor, the husband had already helped them get the medicine. Those patients who came to see the doctor had the money to put down the money for medicine, and those who did not have money brought some food or a roll of cloth to pay for the medicine, and the old master was not hypocritical and gladly accepted it. The children finished their homework today, and in groups of three or five, they said goodbye to Mr. and slowly walked out of the courtyard gate and went home. When Xiao Zheng led the cow into the backyard, he saw that several farmers also carried a large basket of grass on their backyards to rest, and after Jin'er tied the cows, he went to the front yard to help cook. Xiao Zheng was in the backyard with a few farmers to clean up the grass and prepare it to dry tomorrow, and after cleaning up, a farmer walked over and tickled the rhubarb slowly, and patted the cow's butt after scratching it, and someone on the side joked: "Stone, look at the way you look to the cow than these wives, or you will sleep here with the cow today at night." A few people on the side laughed, but the stone still didn't stop, and he grabbed the cow for a while before saying: "Erdan, if it weren't for the two cows that Mr. Li bought for the big guys, you would still be used as a cow by your wife in the field, ploughing your family's land during the day and plowing your wife's land at night, you would have been tired and lying down." When a few farmers heard this, they burst into laughter. Erdan was not in a hurry, and shouted to a few farmers around him: "What are you laughing at!" Whose house doesn't plough the land by himself, and if you have the ability, I will go and plough it for your house, are you willing? As soon as he finished speaking, he was laughed and scolded by the people around him.

Someone on the side said: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, take advantage of the grass to quickly cut a few more baskets and dry it, these two cows are hungry in the winter of the province, don't lose fat in winter, and don't hurt your muscles and bones when the spring plows the land." When a few farmers heard this, they nodded and agreed, "That's it." A few people stayed for a while, joked a few words, and then went home for dinner. Seeing that everyone was gone, Mr. said to Xiao Zheng: "I'll help you pick up the bubbles on your hands when you mow the grass, otherwise it will hurt tomorrow, as he said, he opened the medicine bag and took out a silver needle inside, and after burning it with fire, he picked up the blisters on Xiao Zheng's hands, and when he saw Xiao Zheng being picked up blisters, he bared his teeth and shouted in pain, Jin'er chuckled again, and didn't quickly close his mouth until Mr. stared, but his eyes were full of smiles and looked at Xiao Zheng.
