Early the next morning, Li Ran left the camp and stood on the edge of the wheat field, feeling in a trance that the atmosphere on the wheat field was very different from yesterday.

Zhou E shook the hand in her hand, came over from the river, greeted Li Ran and said with a smile:

"It's incredible! These people in the Zhuangzi got up and went down to the ground in the second watch. Look, the wheat harvest is almost finished.

Shen Zhuangtou came here just now, saying that before and after lunch, he could collect all the wheat in the field, and kill the pigs after lunch. ”

As Zhou E spoke, she motioned to Li Ran to look at the two and a half children who were pushing the wheelbarrow fast.

"Look at the spirit. Thanks to you! ”

Li Ran looked around with a smile, and for a moment, he hummed, waited for Miao Zhong to come over, got on the horse, bypassed the wheat field, and checked her Zhuangzi from the direction they came in.

Li Ran walked from this village to another village where tenants gathered, and when he came back, noon had already passed a long way.

Half of the threshing floor was still busy smashing wheat grains and baling wheat straw.

The neat and stiff wheat straw should be carefully sorted out, kept for repairing the roof, and the remaining messy wheat straw should be picked up with a fork and stacked layer by layer for cooking.

On the other side of the threshing floor, a pot had been erected, and bundles of firewood were carried, and a woman came with wheat straw from the side, and began to light a fire to boil water.

Another woman brought two buckets of water, put them down, rolled up her sleeves and brushed the pot a few times, lifted the bucket, and poured the water into the cauldron.

There were a few middle-aged people next to him, some sharpening knives, some carrying pig killing stools, and some brackets.

In the direction of the village, a few people drove over with more than a dozen pigs, and a group of children still wearing open crotch pants ran before and after, cheering.

Li Ran stood and watched for a while before entering the camp.

On a hot May day, Li Ran didn't know how much she was sweating, went into the tent with ice basins, took a bath, ate something, and rested for a while before Li Ran got up and left the camp.

The sun has set in the west.

The other side of the wheat field was also cleaned up, and next to the extra dozen or so wheat straw stacks, several men laughed and used buckets of cement to paste the top of the wheat straw stacks.

The large threshing field was full of people, and most of the men squatted around the wheat field, smoking dry tobacco and laughing loudly.

The women lined up in a long line, laughing and laughing, while occasionally stretching their necks and glancing ahead.

The children were fighting, screaming, and running all over the ground.

Seeing Li Ran coming, the squatting man hurriedly stood up, tied his hands, and kept nodding his head. The women looked at Li Ran a little dazedly, and Zhou E, who followed behind Li Ran with a serious face behind her back.

The child was curious for a while, and then ran and jumped again.

"You are free, you don't have to be polite." Li Ran smiled.

"What are you going to do!"

Zhou E waved her hand and roared.

Li Ran smiled, too, she was too literate and Zou Zou.

The men retreated a dozen or so steps, some standing and not daring to move, some squatting down.

Li Ran walked past them and walked to the rack with a dozen or so pork fans.

A middle-aged man was holding a sharp knife and was cutting the meat one by one according to Shen Zhuangtou's instructions.

"Nobleman."

Seeing Li Ran coming, Shen Zhuangtou hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"You're busy, don't pay attention to me."

Seven or eight steps away, Li Ran stopped and motioned to Shen Zhuangtou.

Shen Zhuang responded, and then commanded the division of meat.

"Give her the piece with more oil, and then give her a pig's heart and a pork belly, and give her the pig's liver, don't come over at night, your man has a serious illness, just a little improved, and the weakness is not replenished, don't let him eat more, he can't stand the slippery intestines, but it's troublesome."

"I know, thank you Uncle Shen." The woman who came up in the line took the meat and the pig's heart, put it in the basket, and after a round of blessings, hurried away.

Then there were more than a dozen, and Shen Zhuangtou stopped talking, only watching the middle-aged man divide the meat.

"Give her half of the oil, and give her a few more big bones, and those seven or eight boys in your family, let go of their belly and eat for a while, and these big bones with oil can eat two more meals of meat."

Li Ran looked at it for a while, took two steps back, and looked to the side with Zhou E who were busy peeling onions, washing ginger, washing cabbage, etc., buckets of washing meat with water, chopping into large pieces, and stacking pieces into the pot, as well as the women who put the round dough into the steamer and began to steam the steamed buns.

As night falls, the wheat field is filled with the aroma of meat, mixed with the fresh aroma of wheat noodles, which is very tempting.

In the middle of the wheat field, there are various tables with mixed styles, colors and textures, high eight-immortal tables, low small tables, the sides of the tables are full of people, there are high steamed buns in the middle of the table, and each person has a big bowl, and in the bowl is the pork stewed cabbage with fragrant meat and less vegetables.

Mama Sang also asked people to carry a table out, but Li Ran didn't let her put it in the middle of the wheat field, but approached Lao Ma and Wang Cui.

Wang Cui and their place, first Wang Cui took a fancy to them, the old horse saw them, and finally Tao Nong went around again before they picked them.

This piece of terrain is the highest, facing the wind, and it is the best position to see the entire wheat field.

Barrels of wine were also brought up, men and women, even half-grown children, who wanted to drink could pour a bowl.

Zhou E went to pour two bowls, and came back and handed Li Ran a bowl, Li Ran took a sip, the taste was strong, like the big pot of pork and cabbage, simple and real.

In the middle of the wheat field, some people sang an unknown song, and the roar was very good, and some people sang along, some people clapped their hands and applauded, and some people laughed and scolded and sang ugly.

The wheat field was full of boiling and boiling.

Tao Nong, who was separated from Li Ran a few tables, had already run to a group of little girls with a bowl of wine, and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing while sighing you stupid girl.

"Let's see." Zhou E stretched her neck and looked at it for a while, and suggested to Li Ran.

Li Ran smiled in response, and together with Zhou E, went around to the back to see the liveliness of Tao Nong sitting in the middle of a group of little girls.

Momonon was dressed up as a rough woman who went out.

From following up with Li Ran's team, Tao Nong arranged himself into the outermost rough envoy mother-in-law, and also received a messenger.

Zhou E only followed Taonong, Mama Sang praised it a few times, Taonong's understanding and self-defense is extremely rare and rare.

“…… As long as it's good for you? How is it good? He can't eat enough himself, no matter how good he is to you, you have to be hungry, right? ”

Momino laughed as she pointed her finger at the little girl sitting diagonally across from her.

"Don't bully young people into poverty! What's wrong with being poor now? He will definitely be able to buy land in the future, dozens of acres of land! ”

The little girl was not convinced.

"Then why don't you find someone with dozens of acres of land now? Of course! ”

Momino waved his hand, and the wind changed.

"If you don't have a marriage of ten acres and eight acres, you can't find an in-law with dozens of acres of land.

You little girls, let me tell you, the most unmarried thing is that she says this, nothing, it's good for you, he has nothing, and if he doesn't talk to you, can you ignore him? ”

"If he hadn't scolded me, what if I had scolded him first?" A little girl next to her was unconvinced.

"Then he must be good-looking, one of the best-looking!" Momino picks up quickly.

The little girls around laughed.

"If it's one of the best-looking, it's nothing."

Momono's face was serious.

"Just for the sake of looking good, sister, I can take out as much silver as I want, and borrow as much silver as I can."

"It's beautiful, but you can't eat it." The little girl who was not convinced just now smiled and leaned back.

"In your Zhuangzi, are all good-looking little girls marrying well? The handsome little offspring, is there a little girl who is willing to marry him with red makeup? ”

Momonon obliquely unconvinced little girl.

"My eldest sister married into the town, and the eldest brother-in-law has two shops at home, and the eldest brother-in-law has two brothers, one person has one shop, and my eldest sister will divide it before she gets married!"

A very cute little girl with a round face raised her hand and shouted.

"How much can your father give you?" Momono smiled and looked at the unconvinced little girl.

The little girl's face suddenly turned red, and she smacked at Taonong, "Sister sells old ...... old man."

"Phew! Which eye do you see that I am old? Momonon's willow eyebrows raised and he snorted back at the little girl.

The little girls around laughed loudly, laughing while pointing at the little girl who was stunned by Tao Nong, gossiping: "Sister just said, whoever dares to say that she is old, she will smack her face!" ”

The little girl reacted, laughing and bowing her head at Tao Nong, "I was wrong, my sister is not old at all." ”

Li Ran couldn't stop laughing when she watched and listened.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in a hurry.

Li Ran straightened her back suddenly, and turned to look in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from.

"It's like a prince!" Shen Mai, who was on duty, hurriedly came over, and after a dozen steps away, he waved at Li Ran.

Li Ran lifted her skirt and walked through the noisy threshing field to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer.

The sound of horses' hooves is very fast from far to near.

Seeing Li Ran rushing over from a distance, the first few horses rushed into the wheat field on both sides, Xie Ze hurriedly reined in the horses at the same time, jumped off the horse, met Li Ran, and picked her up.

The torches erected around the threshing field illuminate the threshing field and its surroundings very brightly.

The lively crowd in the wheat field stretched their necks, stared at Xie Ze who came from the horse, watched him jump off the horse, watched him pick up Li Ran, turned around for half a circle, looked at him and looked at Li Ran, who looked up at him.

When Xie Ze smiled and looked up at everyone, there was a panic in the wheat field, smashed the bowl and tripped over the stool, and knelt on the ground in a daze.

"See, this is really good-looking, such good-looking, don't say you want silver, you can die!"

Tao Nong took a bowl of wine and slowly sipped it, watched Xie Ze holding Li Ran, and went into the camp, glancing at the little girl who was still stunned around him, and sighed.

"Who's that?"

A little girl gasped, her eyes staring at the camp where she couldn't see anything, and pulled Momonon and asked.

"Lord, with the princess, your Zhuangzi's master's family, your master's family."

Momono said unhurriedly.

"Like a fairy! It's so good-looking, and so is the princess! ”

The little girl gasped again, and this exclamation was very satisfying.

"Your princess is fascinated by the fairy-like beauty of the prince!"

Momono also sighed.

The bustle on the threshing floor gradually dissipated, and a group of little girls dispersed the latest, and the little girl, who had not been convinced, walked through the already empty threshing field with her companions, and talked in a low voice as she walked home.

"Sister Cui'er, I want to go to school." The unconvinced little girl looked back at the camp again, and said in a low voice to Cui'er next to her.

"Huh? It's not that you're too tired to study, and your husband is good at beating people, and you're fifteen years old this year. ”

"I can still study for two or three years, my mother still talked about it before, saying that I am not sensible, I am not sensible, I am tired of studying and working, but I can earn money by learning to work, I am very smart, when I was eight or nine years old, I really didn't learn at all, just like that, I also knew a lot of words.

When I went back, I told my mother, I'll go to school tomorrow, and this time I'm going to study hard! ”

The little girl clenched her fists and shook them.

"What are you...... What's going on? ”

Cui'er looked at the little girl with a little horror.

"I want to learn to live, I want to earn money, and I can earn as much as I can! Earn a lot of money!

I also want to spend as much money as I have for the sake of looking good! ”

The little girl waved her hand vigorously as a sign of determination.
