After the noon break, Haizi came to the field to the east of the yard to plant melons. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info saw that Yun Sanye's family hadn't come yet, so he returned to the bungalow in the yard to get melon seeds, and by the way, he beckoned Yun Sanye's family to go to the melon field to plant melons. This melon field is on the edge of the yard, only separated by a road, which is convenient for the attendants and ordinary care.

Yun Sanye also came to the melon field, he didn't work, and bare his mouth: "Haizi and Sixizi are digging a pit in front, and the fourth girl and your mother are dotting seeds and burying pits in the back." Why didn't Monroe, this kid come? After a while, she will come for her third aunt. The pit should not be too deep, just one foot and two away. A pit points three seeds, and you have to step on it, step on two more feet. Yun Sanye was coughing while demonstrating.

Under the guidance of Yun Sanye, several people worked hard. Sixizi objected: "This land is a little dry, do you need to water it?" ”

"No need to water, tomorrow is May Day, maybe it will rain." Because Yun Sanye couldn't do heavy work, he planted melons, watched melons, and sold melons every year. The melons he served were big and sweet, and they were famous melons.

"Look, the crops in the field next to you have grown so tall, isn't it a little late to plant melons at this time?" Haizi asked.

"It's not too late, it's still the farmer! At this time, it is still a little early to plant melons, if it is not for the autumn cabbage to be planted after the melon garden, it will have to wait a few days to plant. The four girls answered first.

"Alas, if Mr. Yu hadn't left early, Haizi, the kid, wouldn't have been able to go down to the crops to do this tiring work," Yun Sanniang said pityingly.

When it comes to Mr. Yu, everyone doesn't say much and works silently. After a while, Monroe appeared.

"Why did you just come, this kid, I don't care. Hurry up for your third aunt, she is inconvenient. Yun Sanye said to Monroe.

"My feet and head are covered with dirt, and I will wash them." Monroe replied.

"Your father won't let you dig vegetables, you deviate. Come on, you can just order the seeds, and I'll bury the pit. Yun Sanniang said.

"My dad told us not to rush and hurry. Jackie Chan wants to go home to see, so let him go back early. Monroe took the melon seeds in Sanniang's hand, glanced at Haizi by the way, and started working with everyone.

"Clean that foreign name! The fifth sister is still called Haizi like when she was in the school. "Sixizi doesn't work very hard, and he has been pulled behind by Haizi at this time.

"I'll dig a pit for Kiko. Mom, you and Monroe follow Haizi to order seeds, and let Xizi follow me to order seeds, so as to save him from making mistakes. The four girls switched with the four Xizi, and the speed of planting melons accelerated.

"Haizi, have you finished planting that little land?" Sanniang asked Haizi with concern.

"After planting, my mother and Erya exchanged jobs with Master's family, and they were planted in one day. However, it was planted late, and now the seedlings have just emerged, and they have not yet begun to shovel all over the ground. Haizi replied.

"Hurry up, this year's spring sowing is long, and you can plant anything. In the past two years, your master has helped your family a lot, and you have to learn hard from your master. Brother Zhao is a good person, and he will repay him well in the future. Sanniang said to Haizi.

The eldest brother Zhao mentioned by Sanniang is the old guard of the Yun family, helping the second master of Yun to manage the internal and external affairs of the Yun family. Zhao Ye's big name is Zhao Shiyuan, he is the kowtow brother of Yun Erye, and in his early years, he went out to do small business and make money by playing skills. It is rumored that the martial arts are strong and famous. When he was old, Second Master Yun saw that it was very hard for him to walk south and north all day long, and he had no place to stay, so he persuaded him to settle down in Duanlonggang. Nominally, Zhao Ye is working for the Yun family, but in fact, he helps Yun Er Ye manage most of the family, and in the Yun family, his status is second only to Yun Er Ye, and everyone usually calls him Zhao Ye. Zhao Ye saw that Haizi was clever and scheming, and he was diligent and honest, and he liked it very much, so he secretly taught him some martial arts. Zhao Ye not only taught Haizi, but also hindered Yun Erniang and Erye's repeated requests, and also taught Silly Jiuzi some martial arts, which was not a formal apprenticeship. Zhao Ye usually does not teach the two of them together, but teaches them separately, and lets the two of them practice by themselves, and he often gives guidance. Because Haizi has a strong understanding and is willing to endure hardships, he is deeply liked by Zhao Ye, so he has long regarded Haizi as his apprentice in his heart, but he has not made it public because of his master's life.

"Jackie Chan, is martial arts easy to learn? In the future, we will be both civil and military, and we will also fly away, but don't forget about us! Monroe said teasingly at this time.

Haizi didn't talk. Sanniang said: "Haizi, this kid is honest, and he won't forget his home and Duanlonggang when he arrives." ”

"Maybe. Men are all Chen Shimei, they like the new and hate the old, and they forget the pain when the scars are good. Monroe said.

"I think it's the same, when Haizi grows up and has a chance, he will lead his daughter-in-law to run away, and he will never return to our place." The four girls also came over to help.

"These two crazy girls, when they say something that doesn't matter, Haizi's face is red." It's still Sanniang who came out to play a round.

"What we say is true. You ask him, can you remember what day it is? Monroe still didn't give up.

"What day, the fourth day of the fifth month. The day before the 'May Festival'. Sanniang replied.

"Yes, tomorrow is the May Day, and the whole house will have a meal. In the morning, grandma has to go to the spring, and she is very busy. My dad won't let you stay at home tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. Monroe said to Haizi.

"Okay, I'll be back after dinner." Haizi obediently agreed.

"Mom, do we have to go on a trip tomorrow morning?" Shikiko asked.

"Go, you have to go. Don't you go to the May Festival every year? Sanniang said.

A few people gathered around the festival, eating eggs, hanging gourds, and picking mugwort...... After talking and laughing for most of the day.

"I'm tired, let's rest for a while." Four Kiko requested.

"Rest again when you get to the ground." Yun Sanye said while checking the quality.

"It's not early, we're all tired, let Jackie Chan go home early." Monroe was still thinking about Haizi's return home.

"That's it, we have to go back to cooking pig food." Sanniang said.

Monroe took Haizi's pickaxe and said to him, "You don't have to help clean up, I'll take the pickaxe back, you can go home directly." ”

"Okay, we can bring this thing, you go back, see if you can do some work for your mother, the three of them are very tired." Your mother has grown old in the past two years, and if there is something at home for your mother to say, don't see outside. Sanniang lovingly instructed Haizi.

The sun is still more than two poles high, and it will be an hour and a half before it sets. Haizi greeted the sunshine and walked briskly along the familiar village dirt road towards home. At this time, the adults and even the half-grown children of each family go to the fields to work in the fields, and occasionally the elderly can be seen holding or leading the younger children, coaxing the children, and taking care of their chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and pigs. There are also a few poultry who run to the road to find food, but most of them hide under the walls of their homes to avoid the shade. As Haizi walked home, he greeted 'grandpa, grandma', and was in a very comfortable mood.

Haizi's house is located in the west of this village, and it occupies a large area, but the house is too small, with only two adobe houses less than one zhang. When Mr. Yu was alive, he also wanted to build two more rooms, or re-build and expand one, and prepared some wood, but it was not built, and the prepared wood also used a large part of it to make his coffin, and the rest was not enough to build a house.

When Haizi returned home, he saw that the door was closed and the door was locked, and he knew that his mother and sister had gone to work in the field, and his younger brother had not yet arrived at the piglet. He looked around the courtyard wall and saw that the gap was not large. So he went to a small well in the middle of the courtyard, fetched water, and brought a sheaf of grass. He took out the large pieces of adobe in the gaps in the wall, dug up some earth, mixed it with hay, and raised mud.

These jobs were already familiar to Hai Zi, and it didn't take much effort, and when the sun was about to set, Hai Zi had already finished the collapsed wall. Muddy stalks are being inserted into the wall to prevent children and poultry from entering the yard and harming the vegetables and fruits grown in the yard.

"Big brother ......" Sanyang was the first to go home, and when he found that his brother was already at home, he quickly ran over and hugged his brother's neck: "Why did you come back so early?" Doesn't it mean that the genius is back? "Holding his brother's neck is a habitual action that Sanyang has used to seeing his brother for many years, and this time is no exception.

"Don't move, my hands are full of mud, and I'll be all over you." Haizi stopped his younger brother from approaching again: "It's early in the pig today." ”

"Tomorrow is the May Festival, Sanniang said let the pigs be circled early." The younger brother replied.

"It's just right, it's almost not finished, you can help me finish it." Haizi said to his younger brother. So, the two brothers happily started talking and laughing. But the efficiency of the work has slowed down significantly, but fortunately, there is not much work left, just a pleasure.

"Big brother is back! Mom, the eldest brother and the three sheep are at home. Erya, who was walking in front, greeted her brother and told her mother loudly who was walking behind.

"I've seen people in the yard for a long time, and I thought it was them. Tell your eldest brother not to do it, I'll do that little work early that day. Mom quickened her pace and spoke with a smile on her face.

"Mom, it's done." Haizi and Sanyang greeted their mother and walked quickly towards their mother and took the farm tools in their mother's hand.

"It's been back for a long time, have you told the owner? Looks like I've been tanning these days. Mom looked Haizi up and down.

"Second Master Yun asked me to come back early to have a look, I heard that the courtyard wall of our house was knocked down by the cow, so I came back."

"I asked my eldest brother to come back." Sanyang said to his mother as if he was meritorious.

"Since your father left, we orphans and widows have been taken care of thanks to everyone, and you will want to repay others when you grow up in the future." The mother said to her son.

The three of them walked into the courtyard in a huddle, and the second girl had already opened the courtyard door. "Erya, light the fire, stuffy some rice, beat a few eggs, fry some sauce, wash the vegetables well, go to the garden to pick up some green onions and side dishes, and let your eldest brother eat at home." The mother instructed her daughter.

Haizi saw the mess in the yard and knew that her mother didn't have time to clean it up, so she bent down to clean up the yard and said to her mother: "Mom, you and your sister will go cook first, and I will clean up the yard with Sanyang." ”

When Haizi's family sat around the kang and prepared to eat, the sun had already set, and the village was gradually returning to the tranquility of the night. Haizi's mother lit the lamp early, served rice to the children, picked up a bowl of leftover porridge by herself, and ate with the children. Seeing this, Haizi, his sister and younger brother all poured the rice in their bowls back into the rice bowl, put the leftover porridge into their own bowls, and poured out some of the porridge in their mother's bowls, leaving only a little bit.

"Mom is old, the rice is hard, I just drink porridge," my mother said.

"I am reluctant to eat every day, and I am out of breath from work." My sister complains about her mother.

The mother no longer argues with the children, but only advises the children: "Eat more, eat enough." ”

There were two relatively large egg cakes in the egg sauce, and Sanyang found out and sandwiched one for his mother and brother. Mom said, "It's too salty, you can eat it." He casually put it in Sanyang's bowl, glanced at Erya, and knew that it was Erya's intention.

"Mom, they said that they could go to Bali City tomorrow to ask for medicine, and let the eldest brother take me to have a look." Sanyang looked up at his mother.

"Bali City is more than ten miles away, so busy, and there are no patients in our family. In the past, I went to April 28 during the Medicine King Festival, but I don't know when it was changed to May Day? Kid, let's not go. Mom explained.

"What's Bali City like? I haven't seen it yet. The younger brother said.

"Bali City was repaired by Jin Wushu to his sister during the Great Jin Dynasty. The eastern, western, southern, and northern city walls are all two miles long, and they add up to eight miles, so they are called Bali City. After the death of Jin Wushu's sister, the Jin Dynasty also perished, and there was no one living in the city. Now the city wall has long fallen, and has become a mound of earth, and the walls and ditches on all sides are almost silted up, and the city is full of elm trees, grass trees, and dead hills, and there is nothing to see. Mom recounted.

"Where can I go for medicine?" Sanyang continued to ask.

"The city is full of holes and graves. It is said that there are fox fairies, yellow fairies, ghosts, and so on. People put a red cloth on the jar in a small basin, put it on the mouth of the cave and the root of the big elm tree, light incense, kowtow a few times, wait for a while, take the jar home, and take the medicine back. Mom continued to explain.

"Can I get a medicine?" Sanyang continued to dig into the roots.

"There are also those who can't be obtained, whether you can get medicine or not, open the red cloth on the jar, pour some water, drink it and cure the disease." Mom still didn't tire of answering.

"It's a good time to go to Bali City, the grass has grown, and the trees have released their leaves. The city is full of big elm trees, and the elm trees are full of money, but they are sweet. In the grass under the trees, beside the mounds, there are large and small holes, which are said to be foxes, snakes, weasels, and possibly voles and rats, but the big tree holes are where owls and bats live. In the city, there are small temples, fairy altars, and shrines built by people with adobe and blue bricks, all of which are very simple, no big ones, less than half a person high, for people to worship and ask for medicine. The city is lush with vegetation, no one cuts down or hunts, and it is usually a deserted place. Last year, I accompanied the old lady to beg for medicine. Haizi said to his brother.

Sanyang's heart is like grass growing, and he wants to go, looking at his mother with a pleading eye.
