Soon after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the autumn harvest, the time is getting tighter and tighter, August 16 is the day of the beam, a person thick wood is carried on the roof by the workers, and falls steadily where it should be, after the end of the beam, the tiling is very fast.

It rains a lot in the summer and autumn in Hiroma Prefecture, so a certain arc is formed on the roof, and after the yard is repaired, everyone will stop working for the time being, and they will be busy with the autumn harvest.

Aunt Laifu and Aunt Li's family have a large number of laborers, and they don't need to go home to work.

But Xiao Shengniang is about to ask for leave to go home, and Chen Xiaoshu has nothing to do.

Chen Linxiao entered the main house and took a look, the area is not small, the window is also large, the translucent window paper is pasted on the window, and the inside of the house is also bright, and he walked to the inner room and touched the kang that had just been plated, it was not completely dry, and it looked like it would not take a few days to move in.

I went to the Westinghouse again, and there was a row of stoves in the Westhouse, each of which was connected to a chimney, and this was the future boiling workshop.

Back in the front yard, it happened that Chen Xiaoshu had cleaned up, and the two were going to go to Qitong County, Uncle Dashan had also been busy with the autumn harvest recently, so naturally he couldn't come to catch the car, so the two could only walk to Qingniu Town.

Fortunately, the time is not very urgent, and the weather is cool today, so the two of them just walked slowly.

Walking on the country road, the fields on both sides of the road are full of busy people, they either bend down to cut the rice with a sickle, or stand on the ridge to tidy up the cut rice stacks one by one, and on the road, you often see ox carts or donkey carts carrying a cart of rice slowly going home.

But more often than not, there were young men pulling the cart on the floor, and one or two people pushing it behind them, sweat dripping from under their jaws, some on the ground, some on the golden rice.

They always have a satisfied smile on their faces.

Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao, who were leisurely walking on the ground, were out of place with them, as if they had never seen such a labor scene before, as if they had come to see the excitement.

And so it was, neither of them had ever seen such a scene.

I have seen the scene of the work of the large harvester on TV, the plants in the field are harvested neatly, and after a while, more than ten acres or even dozens of acres of fields have been harvested, and only the neat crops are left in the fixed place, which is shocking, giving people a thick sense of security.

The large monster full of steel and toning reflected the light in the sunlight, as if to say, this is all trivial.

And the neat crops on the flat land, as if to say, don't worry about enough to eat.

This kind of scene is probably a happiness that people can't dream of nowadays.

Chen Xiaoshu suddenly laughed out loud when he thought of this.

"Laughing at what?" Chen Linxiao turned his head and asked.

Chen Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that farmers are really hard." ”

Chen Linxiao knew that she was definitely not thinking about these things just now, but she didn't ask, but said: "When I was a child, I knew that farmers worked hard, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, mowing grass and watering, but when I saw the scene in front of me, I felt that they were really great. ”

"Great?" Chen Xiaoshu didn't understand for a while.

"yes, great." Chen Linxiao said as if sighing, "I don't even know what supports them, they have been doing the same work as their ancestors for thousands of years, day after day, year after year, even if they know that what they have harvested may not be enough to support themselves and their families, but they still put all their strength and love into this land." ”

"Probably······· It's hope. ”

Chen Xiaoshu couldn't help but sneer after speaking, and said, "Why are we talking about such a slightly heavy topic?" ”

Chen Linxiao shook his head and said, "It's not hope, it's that they never thought they could live like that." ”

Immediately, he probably felt that the topic was a bit heavy, so he changed the subject and said: "When we come back from Qitong County, we will give the land away, so that they will not delay the next season's sowing." ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded: "The rent will be collected according to the lowest standard." ”

"It's nature."

"It's a pity."

Chen Linxiao seemed to hear these two words in his ears.

"What a pity?"

He asked, turning his head.

Chen Xiaoshu put one hand on his waist and said: "It's a pity that I can't post on Moments now, otherwise they will be surprised by the number of steps today." ”

Chen Linxiao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this.

Chen Xiaoshu is always like this, the accidental thinking jumper makes people feel inexplicable and ······ Cute, like a child who never grows up.

Chen Linxiao thought in his heart with some nostalgia.

By the time they arrived in Qitong County, it was already afternoon, and the two of them still came to the inn last time and opened a medium room.

The morning walk and the long ride on the donkey cart made both of them feel tired, and after eating a simple meal in the inn, and then washing, the two went to bed early.

Early the next morning, the two of them came to the horse market, and the cattle and horse market in Qitong County was very prosperous.

Half of the cattle and horses traded in the market are cows, donkeys and mules, after all, a horse is expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The smell of the cow and horse market was very bad, Chen Xiaoshu frowned, Chen Linxiao took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered the tip of Chen Xiaoshu's nose.

Chen Xiaoshu glanced at him, took the handkerchief and kept it on the tip of his nose.

They had no experience in how to select livestock, so they were not in a hurry to buy them, and the two of them wandered around the cattle and horse market, observing others.

How to identify the advantages and disadvantages of livestock and the approximate price, the two of them heard a lot, although they still didn't understand, but they wouldn't let others fool around casually.

"Two, two."

Suddenly, a thin man came out and blocked the way of the two, "You two want to buy livestock, let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Dahe, I am a Chinese from the cattle and horse market, if you want to buy livestock, I can help, and I will definitely choose the healthiest and cheapest livestock for you." ”

Chen Linxiao frowned and blocked in front of Chen Xiaoshu, looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly came out and recommended himself, coupled with the appearance of a sharp-beaked monkey's gills, even if he knew the truth that he couldn't look good, it was really difficult to leave a good impression, so he said: "You misunderstood, we just came to take a look, don't buy livestock, thank you for your kindness." ”

After that, he pulled Chen Xiaoshu away.

Shen Dahe couldn't help but stomp his feet as soon as Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao left, Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao noticed them as soon as they entered the Niuma Market, they had been wandering around the Niuma Market for so long, and they were seriously watching other people's transactions, which was clearly to buy livestock.

Shen Dahe had already exhausted all his courage when he suddenly came out just now, and now if he was allowed to catch up again, he would be really embarrassed.

But thinking of the two children in the family who were waiting to be fed, he gritted his teeth and chased after them.

"This little young master, listen to me, I am really a person in this cattle and horse market, not a liar, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire." Shen Dahe pulled a smile and explained.

Chen Xiaoshu looked over and saw that although this person didn't look like a good person, just like a traitor in the anti-Japanese drama, his expression was very sincere, so he glanced at Chen Linxiao.

Chen Linxiao stopped and said, "Shenzhongren, if you have any ability, just use it." ”

When Shen Dahe heard this, he immediately agreed loudly.
