33. Ant vinegar
After three summers of harvesting, the air in the village suddenly became tense, and there were people walking in a hurry everywhere, and the children did not return to their usual leisureliness, following their parents to work in the fields. On the road, the straw of wheat is scattered, and the feet step on it, making a crisp sound of "rope".
Yan Siqin prepared the things that needed to be taken to the ground early in the morning, busy for three summers, and had no time to go home to cook, all of which were solved directly in the field, she boiled a big pot of mung bean water, the weather was hot, and it would be hotter to work. I boiled a dozen spiced eggs, baked a stack of single cakes, and fried a large plate of shredded pickles. When eating at noon, take a single cake, peel the eggs, break them, put them in the cake, sprinkle a layer of shredded pickles, roll them up, delicious and hungry.
Zhao Liangsheng prepared the ground row car, put the same things on it, checked that there was nothing missing, and said with a wave of his hand: "Get in the car!" Let's go! ”
Yan Siqin first carried the little girl into the car, and only after Coco sat down firmly did he carry Zhao Chen up, as for Zhao Yu, he didn't have to wait for someone to hug him, he had already climbed into the car and stood up, waved the horsewhip with his arm, and drank in his mouth: "Gotta ~ drive!" ”
"You little bunny! Sit me down! Zhao Liang smiled angrily, and slapped Zhao Yu's little head, pretending to be unhappy: "I have a merit in raising you, treat you and me as cattle and horses!" ”
Although Zhao Yu is small, his skills in observing words and emotions are not bad, Dad's slap has no strength at all, and it is like tickling on the head, which shows that Dad's is not really angry at all.
The sun at the time of the wheat harvest is the most poisonous, and the whole three summers are sunburned like black charcoal. The little girl is not too white, if she basks in the sun for another summer, she can't find anyone in the carbon heap that can't be black? So Yan Siqin armed Coco from head to toe, with a big brimmed straw hat on his head, the brim was big enough to cover the entire small face tightly, the long-sleeved trousers just blocked the arms and legs, and the feet were still wearing sandals, so it shouldn't matter if the black spots on the feet were.
Zhao Liangsheng held the handlebar, bowed his waist, and worked hard, Yan Siqin helped the car, pushed hard, and the body moved.
Unlike other families who are in a hurry, Zhao Liangsheng's family is a bit like going on an outing, Zhao Liangsheng pulls the car and walks in the front, turning back from time to time to talk and chat with Yan Siqin. Yan Siqin walked next to the car, protected the three children, and explained that the children were seated firmly and pay attention to safety.
For the first time working in the field, Coco felt very strange and looked forward to it. From the night before, my mother began to make single cakes and boiled eggs, which she likes to eat. There are also peaches that have just turned red with a sharp mouth, called May, so much, so many good things that she likes to eat, all in a hand-worn dustpan.
The land of Zhao Liangsheng's family borders the land of Wei Dong's family, and the Wei Dong's family has a small population, and the two of them have three acres of land, leaning against the roadside, next to a small forest.
When Zhao Liangsheng's family arrived at the ground, Wei Dong's father and son had already cut nearly half an acre of land, Wei Dong and Wei Yun went to the ground early, Wei Dong was afraid of the heat, and wanted to take advantage of the sun not rising to work for a while, and rest at noon when the sun was the most poisonous.
Seeing Wei Yun, Shi Ke was overjoyed, knowing that Wei Yun had no mother, Shi Ke had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Wei Yun in his heart, and he had been thinking about getting close to Wei Yun.
Zhao Liangsheng just parked the car on the ground, Zhao Yu jumped out of the car first, jumping around on the ground, Shi Ke stretched out his arm and Yan Siqin carried him out of the car, Zhao Chen stood on the car and waited anxiously, pouting his little ass and crawling down.
Wei Yun is still young, Wei Dong just doesn't like this son anymore, and he won't use Wei Yun as a whole laborer, Wei Yun does just small jobs such as bundling wheat and so on.
After Zhao Liangsheng unloaded the things in the car, he shouted Wei Dong from afar, which was regarded as a greeting: "Wei Dong!" Big brother, you're here early! ”
Hearing the shout, Wei Dong straightened up, wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck, and replied, "Brother Zhao, you are really calm, you only came here after this order." ”
"Work more and work less, when the time comes, do it slowly, can there be work that you can't do?"
Yan Siqin took out the peaches first, and then took out two more and handed them to Zhao Yu: "Da Zhuang, go and send them to your Uncle Wei and little brother." ”
Zhao Yu took a big bite and first took a bite of the red part on the tip of the peach, May fresh is like this, the most delicious part is the position on the tip of the peach, sweet, the best taste.
Shi Ke and Zhao Yu each took a peach, Shi Ke followed behind Zhao Yu, carefully walked through the wheat ridge, walked to Wei Yun's side, held the peach in his little hand and handed it to Wei Yun, and pursed his small mouth: "Give it to you." ”
Wei Yun was skillfully tying up the wheat figure, first looked up at Shi Ke, and then stood up after tying the wheat knot in his hand, he did not reach out to catch the peach in Shi Ke's hand, but looked at Wei Dong first.
Zhao Yu walked up to Wei Dong and handed him the peach: "Uncle, give it to you." ”
"Uncle doesn't eat it, you can eat it." Wei Dong smiled gently, rubbed Zhao Yu's little head with his right hand, felt Wei Yun's gaze, looked back, and sure enough, Wei Yun was staring at him, his eyes were clearly asking: Do you want to eat?
Wei Dong has always been very strict with Wei Yun's education, and he can't just ask for other people's things and other things are often mentioned in Wei Yun's ears, seeing Wei Yun behaving like this, he was slightly satisfied in his heart, and the smile on his face was even worse, and he said: "Eat, don't forget to thank you Aunt Zhao." ”
Father allowed, Wei Yun took the peach over, and Si Svenwen took a small bite.
Zhao Yu saw that Wei Dong didn't eat it, so he grabbed the peach and turned his head back. Uncle Wei said that he would eat it, but Zhao Yu was not polite, and the one who ate it with one bite with his left hand and one bite with his right hand was called a Huan.
Zhao Liangsheng and Yan Siqin stood on the edge of the ridge with a sickle in their hands, Yan Siqin was reluctant to let the two little ones suffer, and explained to Zhao Yu: "Da Zhuang, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, go to play in the woods." ”
"Hey!" Zhao Yu led the two small ones to the grove, Wei Yun looked at their backs with envy on his face, Wei Dong saw it, and he was a little unbearable, and said, "You can also go to rest." ”
Wei Yun was happy, and walked towards the grove with a relaxed peache.
Under the blue sky, the forest is not big, and it does not cover the sky, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the trees, through the overlapping branches and leaves, and is dappled and sprinkled on the grass, and the birds in the forest are chirping and singing, and the crickets and grasshoppers in the grass are playing and singing happily.
Four small ones are playing games, each of them has picked up a large handful of petioles, is a team of two to compete whose petioles are strong, in the eyes of adults is quite boring game, a few children play with relish, because the petioles in their hands are a little bit excited cheers.
Wei Yun, who is nearly eight years old, is the oldest among several people, and the three small ones directly regard him as the leader, what are you playing? How to play? Listen to the little brother.
In the process of catching grasshoppers, Shi Ke found a group of strange ants, Shi Ke had never seen such a big ant, the ants she knew were very small, like a small thread. But the ants in this forest are so big, as long as big peanuts, with black armor, two slender antennae, and a mouth like steel tongs, and they are busy in a long line.
Shi Ke was very curious, picked up a wooden stick, squatted there to tease the ants, the three boys didn't know what Shi Ke was playing, they all came around, Wei Yun often worked in the field with his father, acquaintance, he pointed to the big ant and said: "This ant has vinegar on it." ”
Still have vinegar on ants? Six pairs of disbelieving eyes stared at Wei Yun. Shi Ke lifted the wooden stick in his hand to his face and carefully observed a large ant crawling on it, trying to find out where the vinegar was on the ant's body. Slender ants, in addition to a big head, also have a big belly, where can vinegar go? She blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes were like two small fans, and she flickered several times, staring at Wei Yun with a small mouth like flowers: "Little brother, where is the vinegar?" ”
was questioned, Wei Yun was in a hurry to defend himself, he grabbed a big ant: "There really is, I don't believe you can taste it!" Wei Yun handed the ant to Zhao Yu's mouth, and Zhao Yu was so frightened that he slammed back, one was not wary, and the other did it to the ground.
Cut! An ant can squat in a scared nut, that's too timid, Wei Yun handed the ant to Shi Ke again, Shi Ke hurriedly turned his head and hid his head far away, Wei Yun looked at the youngest Zhao Chen, he didn't plan to show it to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen had already wrinkled his little nose and took two steps back.
"Yes, I'll show you!" After Wei Yun finished speaking, he really put the ant in his mouth and smacked it, and after he finished it, he chirped and chirped: "Sour, you taste it, it's really vinegar." ”
The little boy is bold, Zhao Yu saw that Wei Yun really ate ant vinegar, not only safe and sound, but also enjoying it, he said to Wei Yun in disbelief: "Then I'll taste it?" ”
Wei Yun handed the ant in his hand to Zhao Yu's mouth, Zhao Yu was bold, and he also sighed like Wei Yun just now.
The big ant was frightened, and the secretions on his body were secreted more and more, Zhao Yu really tasted sour, he smacked his lips: "It's really vinegar, sour." ”
Shi Ke's eldest brother was also jealous, as soon as the novelty came up, he wanted to taste it, Shi Ke was a tomboy when he was at home, if he twisted and pinched, he would definitely not be able to mix the position of the second-in-command, she stretched out two fingers, carefully pinched the ants on the wooden stick and put them in her mouth.
The big ant is full of anger at this time, people honestly follow the little friend to work, really recruit who to provoke whom, for no reason to encounter such a catastrophe, was pinched by two fingers all over the body, it clicked its only weapon, the big mouth like steel tongs against a pink thing fiercely clamped.
When Wei Yun ate ant vinegar, he was eating the ant's buttocks, and he fed Zhao Yu the ant buttocks, Shi didn't know, she thought it was eating the ant's mouth, how dirty the butt was, if Wei Yun told her in advance that she would eat ant vinegar and eat ant buttocks, she wouldn't eat it.
Before I could eat the expected ant vinegar, I felt a sharp pain on the tip of my tongue, and Shi Ke immediately made a "whoop~" sound, and then stretched out his tongue and began to cry in pain.
The three little boys were startled by Shi Ke's howl, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, sister, what's wrong?" ”
Shi Ke couldn't speak, sticking out his tongue and tears fell down, and the three of them looked at it, and a huge black ant bit Shi Ke's tongue tightly and didn't let go.
Wei Yun hurriedly reached out to pull it, the ant ate painfully, biting harder, seeing that two wisps of blood flowed down the ant's big tooth groove, Shi Ke hurt more, and cried more happily. Wei Yun didn't dare to drag it, Zhao Yu didn't dare to drag it after two attempts, not to mention Zhao Chen, he rushed to the ground in fright to call his father.
Zhao Liangsheng and Yan Siqin were cutting wheat with their heads down, when they heard Shi Ke's heart-rending cry in their ears, which immediately startled the two of them, and then heard Zhao Chen shouting: "Father, mother, come on, my sister has been bitten!" ”
The husband and wife were so frightened that their hearts trembled several times, and Yan Siqin felt that his legs suddenly went weak and were bitten? Bitten by what? Snake? The two of them thought at the same time that they had been bitten by a snake, and the snake was poisonous, so it would be terrible if they were bitten.
The two of them threw the sickle and ran towards the grove, and while running, the first aid method came to their minds, and Yan Siqin even thought of sucking out the snake venom for the little girl for a while.
"My goodness, where is the bite?" Yan Siqin picked up Shi Ke's trouser leg and began to check.
Mother came, Shi Ke was not so scared in his heart, but his tongue still hurt, Shi Ke could point his fingers and stick out his tongue, and said inarticulately: "Mother, mother, it hurts, woo woo woo......." ”
Following Shi Ke's fingers, Zhao Liangsheng saw a big black and shiny ant biting the tip of Shi Ke's tongue and not letting go, it was not a snake, the two hearts were put in the stomach, it was strange how this big ant could run into Shi Ke's mouth to bite her tongue.
Zhao Liangsheng stretched out two fingertips, and the fingertips covered the middle of the ants and pinched, and the poor innocent little animal went to Huangquan at the time, and then took off the ant's head, and the tip of Shi Ke's small tongue was bitten out of two deep pits by the ant's big pincers, and blood flowed out immediately.
Blood? It's scary! Shi Ke's tongue regained its freedom, and he lay in Yan Siqin's arms with palpitations and cried happily.
