The next day, Xiao Zheng's uncle got up in the morning and went directly to the town, Xiao Zheng also had a chance to be alone with the two brothers and sisters, after all, the age is similar, the three young people are easy to talk together, Xiao Zheng also knew through the two children that his uncle was called Du Zhaoyuan, although the cousin named Gouzi was a little wooden at first, but after getting along for a long time, the words gradually increased. On the contrary, it was his cousin Xiu'er who spoke generously, Xiu'er asked Xiao Zheng and said: "Cousin, when you were in Chang'an City, was the East and West City very big and fun, I heard my mother say that you were also a child of a big family before, what do you eat at home, when you go out, ride a horse or take a carriage, the carriage you took when you came with my aunt last time, I haven't sat in it since the last time, I have always liked to ride in the carriage but unfortunately I can't sit in it" said a little depressed.

Xiao Zheng said: "I was seriously ill once, and I don't remember anything since, and I want to know where I am, but my mother never wants to tell me." Xiao Zheng consciously learned about his life experience from the conversation between the brother and sister, but the brother and sister seemed to know very little about their own affairs, and they only said that Xiao Zheng was born in a big family, and they didn't know anything else. The character of the dog is indeed his father, a simple and simple boy, but Xiu'er's character is very similar to his mother, Xiu'er said to Xiao Zheng, "Cousin, you will live with us in the future, I heard my mother say that you have read a lot of books, you will teach us to read in the future, you are so good at reading." Xiao Zheng said: "It's okay to read and write, we have to take it slowly in the future, and there is no hurry in this matter."

At noon, Xiao Zheng's uncle returned from the town, and when he returned, he hired an ox cart loaded with a wooden bed and some household goods, that is, pots and pans for simple daily life. After entering the door, Du Shi saw these things in the car and said to Du Zhaoyuan: "You are a loser man, why do you buy more food, why do you buy so many useless things, and why do you buy a bed?" Du Zhaoyuan said: "This silver hairpin has a lot of money, and I am worried that Zheng'er is also a child from a big family who is afraid that he will not be able to stand the hardship, so he will buy more good things to make him feel better, so I bought these things." After saying that, I paid for the car and unloaded my things. Du Shi's eyes rolled after seeing this bed, and after a pause, he turned his head and said to Xiao's mother: "Sister, you see that Xiu'er is older now, and the bed in her room is also a lot more worn, although our small family does not have a boudoir, but we also want to teach our children to live better, after all, she is a girl, and she is about to get married in a few years, we still have to take care of it, you see this, change Xiu'er's bed to Zheng'er, Xiu'er uses this new bed, okay?" ”。 Du Zhaoyuan interjected next to him and said, "That's not good, this bed was bought for my nephew," Du Shi glared at him and said to Xiao Zheng's uncle: "Shut up!" Du Zhaoyuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the ground again. At this time, when Xiu'er heard Du Shi's words, she immediately ran over and pulled Xiao Zheng's arm and said, "Cousin, although my bed is a little old, you can sleep fine, for the sake of our brothers and sisters, will you give me this bed?" Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Zheng and didn't say anything more, so she said to Du Shi: "But it's up to my sister to decide." So Du Shi had a smile on his face, thanked him, and then turned his head to Du Zhaoyuan and said, "Master, you hurry up and move Xiu'er's bed to your nephew's room, this time thanks to my sister for buying a new bed, I want to thank my sister here." Xiao Zheng's uncle reluctantly went to the back room to move the old bed used by Xiu'er to the firewood room of Xiao's mother and son. After settling down all the bestituencies, Xiao's mother found that her newly bought quilts had also been replaced by Du's with an old bed. It turned out that the few pairs of chopsticks that his brother bought were also secretly replaced by Du's family. Xiao Mu didn't say anything after seeing it, but just sighed softly.

With Che Du Zhaoyuan bought a few bags of rice and noodles back, the atmosphere at home became much more relaxed when there was food, and Du Shi also showed a real smile very rarely, for people struggling on the food and clothing line, food is the only need for themselves, in this era, the war is initially decided, it is great luck to be able to save your life, Tang Jianguo was at the beginning of peace, and the people can have food to eat themselves is thank God, Xiao Zheng thought of this era of extreme scarcity of materials, where do you dare to say that eating rice and noodles, eating one or two meals a day is already a common thing, You must know that at that time, it was common for people to starve to death, and it was a blessing to be able to eat rice and brown noodles once or twice a year. No wonder Du Shi is extremely unhappy for two more people, even if it is a close relative of his own family! Du Shi also made a soup cake with an open amount, and the family had a happy meal in a big pot. The dog also ate the ditch and was full of trenches, and he had to stroke his stomach and burp with all his strength, and he was scolded by Du Shi for many sentences without any interest.

Du Zhaoyuan also saw that his children were well fed, and Mu Na's face also showed some smiles, and soon the day of life passed. The rest of the days, Du Zhaoyuan took the dog and Xiu'er to do farm work in geography every day, because it was the busy season of spring farming, the family was busy working in the field, Du Shi and Xiao's mother usually cooked at home, waiting for Du Zhaoyuan to come back to eat after the children were busy with farming, and Xiao Zheng was the most idle idler, who just sat quietly in his yard to recuperate on weekdays. Xiao's mother is always worried that her son's body will take care of her son again, and sometimes she often makes some soup cakes and rice for Xiao Zheng to eat, although Du Shi will also complain a few words that flour and rice are used too much, but considering that Xiao's mother paid for it, she didn't say anything after all, and more than a month has passed in a flash, and Xiao Zheng has fully recovered.

As the spring ploughing became more and more busy, Xiao Zheng saw that his uncle took his cousin and cousin out of the field to work every day, so he said to his mother: "Auntie, the child also wants to go to the field with his uncle to see if he can help?" Xiao's mother said, "Since you like to go, go ahead", so Xiao Zheng's uncle took the three children into the farmland.

When Gouzi and Xiu'er saw Xiao Zheng's arrival, there was a more cheerful atmosphere in the field, and the farmer in the farmland next door saw Du Zhaoyuan, who was across the ridge and Xiao Zheng, and said, "Old Du, is this your relative?" Du Zhaoyuan said proudly: "This is my nephew, from Chang'an City, and he is also a poet with hyphenation." When the farmer across the field saw it, he laughed and scolded: "This baby looks delicate, much better than your dog...". The dog didn't show anything after hearing it, and continued to smile and bow his head to work, Du Zhaoyuan also sneered after hearing it: "That's natural, how bad can my nephew be?" It's much better than your big cow. The two laughed at each other a few more times, and then went on with their farm work.

Xiao Zheng also saw the real ancient farming for the first time, Du Zhaoyuan said that with a hoe, in fact, there is only one wooden stick, a wooden board is added to the head, and a piece of iron is set on the side of the wooden board, this hoe is not the same concept as the modern hoe at all, and it is all the strength to turn the soil up when working with this hoe, and the only advantage is that it is a little faster than hand planing. Du Zhaoyuan was desperately planing in front, and his cousin and cousin were responsible for sowing and the other was responsible for leveling the soil after sowing.

Xiao Zheng asked his uncle, "Uncle, why don't you work with cows?" Du Zhaoyuan looked at him and said, "You stupid boy from a big family, what do you know, use cows?!" The whole township adds up to more than 20 cows, these cattle are still in large households, our township chief can't afford to use it, it's only a few years, don't talk about cattle in the past, other livestock and sheep have been robbed by the rebels, and now you can plow out human bones when you plow the wasteland. If you can help with some work, you can help with some work, and if you can't help with work, just sit on the sidelines and stay."

Although he couldn't do anything in the field, Xiao Zheng still had no problem with sowing some seeds and carrying some water, although he was also busy with back pain, but he was sweating all over his body, and he felt a lot more relaxed. After returning from a busy day, Xiao's mother was really happy to see that her son's body had recovered like ordinary people and was able to do some physical work.
