After boiling the silkworms, it took three full days to peel the cocoons and open the cotton, and Chen Wen was so busy that he couldn't stop.

Today, taking advantage of the right sun, Chen Wen and Li Suniang took the opened silk out to dry.

Twist the silk pocket, take it out to dry, and almost fill the yard, Chen Wen and Li Suniang stopped.

Because the cocoon peeling and cotton opening had to be in the water, Chen Wen's hands were soaked in the water all the time, and they were white and wrinkled

Chen Wen touched the wrinkled place of his fingers, looked at the sun again, his brain was dazed, and suddenly took his white and wrinkled hand in the sun, wanting to smooth out the wrinkled place.

Li Suniang patted her granddaughter's hand: "What are you doing?" ”

"I want to dry my hands."

Li Suniang couldn't help laughing: "It's not sunburning, it's not dry, it's possible to tan." ”

Chen Wen hesitantly put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sun, his pierced eyes hurt, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Well, ultraviolet rays are really strong.

Chen Wen shrunk his neck: "Then I'm going to go into the house." ”

At this time, the sound of wheels rolling not far away, Chen Wen paused. I saw an ox cart on the road, and it was full of men.

The ox cart did not stop, but the two men above jumped down neatly on the cart.

"We've arrived, goodbye."

The two men who came down from the ox cart were all dark-skinned, with their sleeves rolled up to their elbows, and their shoulders were covered with large bags and small bags, and they smiled toothlessly.

Chen Wen hadn't seen them, and they were faced, but when they saw Li Suniang, they took the initiative to say hello.

After the two men greeted Li Suniang, they shouted Aunt Yuzhen's name.

Chen Wen instantly realized that it was Alain's father and brother, and they had come back from working in the city.

Think about the ox cart just now, the cart was full of men, it should be, the men of the whole village have returned.

Why did you come back at this time?

Chen Wen counted with his fingers, and it was only five or six days before the rice was harvested......

Li Suniang was obviously very familiar with them, and she was quite happy to see them: "It's still a few days before the rice harvest, why did you come back?" ”

In previous years, they only came back the day before the rice was harvested.

One of the older men, touching the back of his head, smiled heartily, and replied to her: "The work in the city is done, and there is nothing else to do, thinking that there is nothing else to do, so I will come back first, anyway, it will not be a few days." ”

Li Suniang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Guang saw Chen Wen early in the morning, pointed at her, and asked Li Suniang curiously: "Which child is this, look at the face." ”

At the beginning, some of them left early, and left within two days after the farm was busy, although they missed seeing Chen Wen, but they had heard people who came to the city later talk about this little girl.

So, Zhang Guang was a little impressed, but he wasn't sure.

Chen Wen listened to their speeches, and suddenly found that he had been named, so he hurriedly bowed to Zhang Guang and replied: "Hello, I moved to Zhangjia Village a few months ago, and my name is Chen Wen." ”

Li Suniang also smiled and took Chen Wen's hand: "My granddaughter." ”

Zhang Guang was stunned, it turned out that Li Suniang recognized her as her granddaughter, but she didn't say anything more. Zhang Guang was only stunned for a moment, and then patted the back of his son's head, who was even more surprised than himself, and his hand was very heavy.

Zhang Ashi snorted in pain and covered the back of his head.

Zhang Guang also knew that he was too heavy to let go, so he said stiffly: "This will also be your sister in the future." ”

Zhang Ashi didn't reply, Zhang Guang glared at him: "Did you hear that?" ”

Chen Wen looked at the interaction between the two fathers and sons, and didn't know what to say, so he had to shake his head: "It's okay uncle......"

Li Suniang couldn't look at it, and slanted Zhang Guang: "What are you doing to fight Ah Shi, you can't change your temper!" ”

Zhang Guang patted Zhang Ashi on the back: "Boy, it's okay to be beaten." ”

Zhang Ashi nodded, glanced at Chen Wen, and said in a gentle tone: "Got it." ”

For so long, there was no sound in the house, Zhang Guang pushed it, didn't open it, and wondered: "This Yuzhen, is it going out?" ”

"No, Yuzhen didn't go out today, you can shout again."

Zhang Guangda slapped the door twice and shouted twice.

Liu Yuzhen heard someone calling her name, so she hurriedly went out to take a look, and sure enough, it was the man in charge and her precious son.

Seeing that their eyes lit up, he said happily: "Why are you back, don't send someone to say anything." ”

Then he called the two daughters out of the house to greet them, and hurried to help them unload the things on their shoulders.

"Come back, come back, what to do with these things, and what to do with wasting money!"

complained on his lips, but his face was smiling, and he didn't look really angry at all.

As he spoke, he touched his son's face, touched it here, touched it there, and said distressedly: "It's dark, and I'm thin, are you tired from work?" ”

Zhang Ashi shook his head.

"I see that Ah Shi is much stronger, a little darker, a little stronger, so that he can please his daughter-in-law."

Liu Yuzhen patted Zhang Guang's arm hard: "You take on a little more, I told you to let your son do a lot of heavy work, what should I do if I don't grow taller in the future?" ”

Zhang Guang grabbed Liu Yuzhen's shoulders, took her into the house, and said as he walked: "You and I are not short, he won't grow tall if he does some work." ”

Zhang Ashi, who was behind them, squinted helplessly, looked at Chen Wen, and suddenly raised a smile at her.

Chen Wen was stunned for two seconds and smiled back.

When the family returned to the house, Chen Wen had the courage to ask, "Grandma, is Brother Ashi's temperament like this?" ”

Zhang Ashi looked at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it was the time of youth and rebellion, he never thought that he was beaten so hard by his father, but he didn't jump to his feet, but nodded gently and said okay?

If Chen Wen was beaten by her father because of an unrelated person, she would definitely be indignant in her heart.

"What kind?"

"Gentle, polite?" It's rare for a country man to have this kind of character, right?

Li Suniang waved her hand and turned back to the house: "That's it, Ah Shi is like a wood without a temper." ”

Chen Wen opened his mouth and caught up with her: "Since you were a child, like this?" ”

"yes, since childhood." Li Suniang also spread her hands: "Like his mother, Yuzhen was like this when she first got married, she should have lived with Ah Guang for a long time, and she has become like this." ”

So it's not surprising that Ah Shi has such a temperament.

Li Suniang squinted and looked out.

The sun is strong, the month is just right, and the silk cotton cloth outside the yard dances gently with the breeze.

It's also time to harvest the rice.

When the men in Zhangjia Village returned, every family was reunited.

This year, with Chen Wen here, he is not lonely.

Chen Wen saw that her grandmother was standing in place, she didn't move, she looked out, and she didn't know what to see, she grabbed her grandmother's shoulders and took her into the house.

When Li Suniang saw Chen Wen, she smiled slightly, patted Chen Wen's little hand, and looked at it several times: "Your hand, don't soak in water, it'll be fine overnight." ”

"Okay, I got it."
