Since Huang Shuanglai last time, Chen Wen has been busy, and Xifu has finished the finishing work, but it is time to cut rice at home.

Most of the families in the village have already started to cut it two days ago, and there are many other families, and they haven't finished cutting it now. Chen Wen's family has few paddy fields, so Li Suniang delayed for two whole days.

Since Chen Wen had never cut rice, he was afraid that he would not be able to cut it well and waste food, so he couldn't sleep the night before, and he had insomnia until late at night for the first time in ancient times.

Later, I didn't know how to fall asleep, there were no frogs chirping cicadas in my ears, and I couldn't wake up, I was dragged up from the bed by Li Suniang.

There was a lack of sleep, but Chen Wen turned over, used the fastest speed, freshened up and ate, put on the straw hat given by his grandmother, brought a sickle, and went out together.

On weekdays, it is quiet and quiet, there are not many pedestrians on the dirt road, and at this time people come and go, noisy and shouting.

As soon as Chen Wen went out, she greeted Zhang Alan, she was alone, and she happened to go out.

Zhang Alan was in a hurry, took two steps, and then ran, running in a hurry, the straw hat was blown off by the wind and fell to Chen Wen's feet, Chen Wen picked it up and gave it to her.

Zhang Alan paused, holding the farm tool with both hands, and did not have the hand to pick up the hat, Chen Wen tiptoed and put it on for her.

Zhang Alan smiled: "Thank you, Sister Xiaowen." ”

Li Suniang told her: "Slow down." ”

"Got it."

Chen Wen pressed his straw hat tightly, looked at the scorching sun, and checked himself up and down again, covering himself tightly, making sure that most of his skin was not exposed to the sun.

Well, it won't be dark.

However, after Chen Wen began to cut rice, he regretted that he was dressed too tightly.

Li Suniang demonstrated, and cut the rice with a vigorous cut. Chen Wen measured the sickle, bent down to cut the rice, inch by inch, and the movement was very slow.

But fortunately, Chen Wen was just slow and cut smoothly.

Li Suniang allocated a place for Chen Wen and asked her to finish cutting the small half today.

Chen Wen agreed, and kept bending over and getting up repeatedly, and then he had to beat the rice vigorously, sweating all over, and the sweat was sticky, and Chen Wen was really uncomfortable.

She was so hot that she had already rolled up all her trouser legs and sleeves, and she didn't care whether she would get sunburned or not, whether it would be dark by then.

I don't know how long it took to cut, but Chen Wen gradually lost his strength.

Because Chen Wen doesn't exercise often and has to sit a lot to make clothes, Chen Wen's physical strength can't compare to his grandmother.

Until Chen Wen's waist began to ache, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that her grandmother had only cut most of the money assigned to her, and there were still a lot of them. She was a little desperate and rested for a while.

Then, move on.

Until all the allotted ones were cut, and the others were cut for a while, Li Suniang came over, saw that her face was flushed, wiped her sweat with a sweat towel, and asked her to drink water and rest for a while.

Chen Wen did not shirk either.

With her hands trembling slightly, she sat on the ridge, took out the water that was already at room temperature, and drank it in small sips to eliminate the heat.

After drinking the water, I was about to call my grandmother to come and rest, but suddenly the sunlight on the side was blocked.

Shadows overshadowed her.

Chen Wen subconsciously turned around, Zhang Ashi had already jumped up and sat down next to her.

He was wearing a straw hat that covered half of his face, lifted the brim of his hat with one hand, revealing his whole face, and looked at Chen Wen: "Lack of strength?" ”

"Well, I'll rest for a while."

Zhang Ashi didn't answer, jumped down, and jumped into Chen Wen's field.

"Brother Ashi, what are you doing......"

Zhang Ashi heard it and didn't look back, took the sickle in Li Suniang's hand and helped her cut the rice.

Chen Wen was far away and couldn't hear clearly, but when he saw that his grandmother wanted to grab his sickle, he should not let him help, and was dodged by Zhang Ashi.

After several attempts to persuade him to no avail, I don't know what Zhang Ashi straightened up and said to his grandmother, so grandma didn't grab his sickle anymore, but walked towards Chen Wen.

Chen Wen gave her the water, and then carefully wiped off the sweat beads for her, but she didn't pay attention to Zhang Ashi twice, and Zhang Ashi quickly cut a bunch.

Chen Wen swallowed his saliva, the man was indeed powerful.

She also picked up the scythe beside her.

didn't ask Zhang Ashi why he came to help, didn't talk to Zhang Ashi, and both of them bent over and were busy.

Exceptionally tacit.

Chen Wen's gaze fell on the scythe that was stretched out, and his hand froze.

On her scythe, there were a few drops of sweat.

Chen Wen raised his head, because of the sun, he half-squinted, and saw that sweat was dripping down Zhang Ashi's cheeks.

Dripping in the mowed field, he kept repeating an action with a blank face, as if he would not get tired.

It wasn't until he found that Chen Wen had been staring at him that he stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat that was covering his vision with his sleeve, and asked her with a smile: "See what I do?" ”

Looking from the bottom up, Chen Wen saw that Zhang Ashi laughed, with two little tiger teeth, and he was quite honest and cute when he laughed.

"Brother Ashi, you're sweating a lot, do you want to take a break?"

"What is this, no need."

Chen Wen, who was politely refused, stopped talking.

Instead, he cut the rice more seriously, and after a long time, he took a breath before he asked Zhang Ashi: "Why do you want to help us cut it?" ”

Zhang Ashi glanced at her, as if to say, what nonsense are you asking?

But he still explained: "Grandma Li has always doted on us, and you are a sister, there is no man in your family, of course I have to come to help." ”

"And what about your land?"

He has a lot of land, and there is one less man......

"After mowing your land, I'll go back."

Chen Wen pursed his lips: "Thank you, Brother Ashi." ”

Zhang Ashi smiled: "What are you doing so politely." ”

Because of Zhang Ashi's help, Li Suniang and Chen Wen's land was busy, and it was all over in a day and a half, including rice threshing.

It became the last family in the village to cut rice and the first family to dry rice.

Zhang Ashi finished helping and returned to his home. His family's land was not finished after Chen Wen's family finished drying rice.

In line with the principle of not wanting to owe favors, Chen Wen went to help, but because of the slow cutting, he was disliked.

So, Chen Wen had to do some odd jobs, send them lunch, feed the chickens, and then clean up and clean up.

Because their family has little work, if there is any urgent matter in the village, they will come to Chen Wen and Li Suniang for help.

These days, the most Chen Wen does is to bring children to others for a few days.

Every morning, there will be children coming to her house one after another, because their parents, brothers and sisters are busy, these children do not have the ability to work, and they are afraid that they will run around, so the parents are handed over to Li Suniang's house.

All are children under the age of nine.

Chen Wen held one in one hand, and several sat on small stools, and Chen Wen told them small stories every day.

"That mermaid ended up being a bubble."

"Ahh She turned into a bubble, why, woo woo woo ......"

When someone cries, they lead others to cry together.

Chen Wen wiped their tears, couldn't wipe them away, and discussed loudly: "Then Sister Wen will tell you another story, it must be a good ending, okay, okay?" ”

In this way, the child gradually stopped crying.

Li Suniang was boiling water and unconsciously showed a smile.

The village was busy with farming, which lasted for about five days, and during these five days, Chen Wen ran back and forth between his home and the field every day, delivering water, delivering food, coaxing the children, and sending them back one by one at night.

In the end, everyone in the village knew Chen Wen and knew that Su Niang's family had a little granddaughter, who was well-behaved and sensible, and would tell stories to the children.
