The summer is scorching and burning.

The ears of rice in the field were soon roasted yellow by the scorching sun.

The rice fields are east and west, and the height is no longer staggered, but the green and yellow, light yellow, and dark yellow are mixed together, and it is gratifying to look at.

Ming Hao walked on the ridge, although he was wearing a straw hat, he also felt the heat, and the hot wind rushed to his body.

She came to see her rice paddies.

Achu followed like a tail.

Ming Hao carried a dung basket in his hand, a bamboo tool with a handle, somewhat similar to a dustpan.

But there is clearly another use at this time.

"Over there, you're mistaken, you have to put a lot of water in a place! If you don't press it well, the fish will run away! Achu said with a grin.

It's good to be good anywhere, but the action of fishing is a little clumsy.

Achu inexplicably has a sense of superiority.

The two of them went to see the growth of the seedlings in the field, and fished for small fish by the way.

"This kind of drainage ridge is the only way to do!"

In winter, the ridges that are built after the fields are divided into households are still soft when stepped on, but they are already overgrown with weeds.

Between the two ridges, there is a simple drainage canal, and the small fish swim freely in the clear water.

Minghao put the dung basket at one end, and Achu carried a stick and rushed over directly.

"Bring it up, hurry up!" Achu screamed, and Ming Hao hurriedly picked it up.

More than a dozen small fish bounced on the bamboo scorn, and they were soon poured into the small bucket that Achu was carrying.

Minghao's eyes sparkled, "When it comes to it, that's all, if we catch more places, wouldn't we have a lot of dried fish!" ”

"Hey, didn't you go fishing when you were a kid?"

"In the past, when there was a holiday, I caught fish, touched the snails, and the snails were raised and fried with ginger, and my mother would put perilla and sour bamboo shoots, which were stir-fried directly...... It's even better than meat! ”

"When you catch a small fish, you dry it, and when you cut rice and plant it, you use it and fry it with capers."

Achu said it very naturally, it can be seen that he didn't eat less when he was a child.

At that time, there was no meat to eat!

"My brother will go into the mountains to catch pheasants."

"After the late rice is harvested, I will catch voles, and I will guard the entrance of the cave, and peel the skin to make wax voles."

Achu carried the bucket and said vigorously.

Minghao twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Rats are so cute, why do you want to eat mice!" ”

Achu stuck out his tongue, "When cutting rice, sometimes there are field chickens, stupid ones who only know how to run, can't fly, and the eggs laid are the same as bird eggs, and they can be eaten!" Snakes are eaten! ”

The two of them walked around the ridge to see which field was yellow and which field needed to release water, and by the way, they were very comfortable catching small fish.

It's such a hot day, but it's not just them in the field.

"Ah Chu! Catch fish with your sister-in-law? Now you can eat meat! ”

"That's right, there was no oil and water in the past, and river mussels could be eaten as pork belly, don't mention it, don't say that your family is reluctant to buy meat!"

Ah Chu also joked with everyone with a smile and said, "I just can't eat meat before I come to catch fish!" ”

Occasionally, you can hear the small talk of the villagers.

"This field can be cut in two days, Ah Sheng, don't be precise, don't you have the final say now, why can't you suddenly plant it?"

"Can you cut it?"

"Not really! I heard that it's better to cut it earlier this year. ”

"It's not even a few days off, why do you want to do it sooner?"

"You are stupid, there are capable people in our village, this early cut and early to hand over the public grain to complete the task, maybe you can get an advanced position, and besides, if you pay it early, maybe it won't be so ......strict."

What everyone is discussing is the matter of paying public grain, and it is inseparable from Chu Mingde.

Along the way, Ming Hao had already heard several groups of people mention him.

The county official is not as good as the current management, Chu Mingde is now weighing, that is, the one who will be in charge of the scales at that time, together with a person who accepts the quality of the grain, divides the grades, weighs, and collects the warehouse......

It's no wonder that he was a little proud at the time, if he was to cut into a team, raise a level or something, it would be easy to grasp.

There are also people who don't know the situation very well, and they say things such as "Your uncle went to the grain station, and you will be wiped out in the future." ”

"Humph! It's not that we don't pay, let's beg him for what? Ah Chu was a little sullen all of a sudden.

"Don't worry so much, there are always people who like to say this, what should we do when the time comes." Ming Hao said indifferently.

Achu is still a child, and he didn't turn around when he said this.

It's hard to see anything.

"This side of the cattle ditch is the place of green mountains, how can the field seem to have been trampled!"

"From this past, there is spring water to drink! Whoever stepped on the ridge here was blocked! ”

"Is there anyone else on the mountain? There's nothing to do in broad daylight! ”

Ming Hao heard her say so carefully, and laughed a little, but I really saw a few figures flashing at the foot of the mountain.

After going around, Ming Hao and Achu went home.

Li Qiufang hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

She was getting a little nervous.

After all, I used to follow the collective, and I didn't have to think about what to do today or what to do tomorrow, just be quick.

Later, when she went to work in the canteen of the machinery factory, she hadn't been in the field for a while.

Now I feel like I'm missing something.

"I have already bought the sickle, and when the time comes, it will definitely need to be sharper to cut the grass so as not to delay the work.

I don't know if there is only one pair of baskets, but we also prepare sacks, which used to be the case, so we put sacks directly in the threshing machine bucket and then carry them out to dry.

However, many of our fields are relatively close, and the baskets should be better. ”

"Tiankuo seems to only have three days off, really, I don't know how many more days."

"What if this threshing machine is not enough!"

chattering, it is difficult to hide your nervousness.

Double grab double rob, in a grab word.

Ming Hao understood her nervousness very much.

"Mom, don't panic, didn't uncle say it, let's take turns to harvest, there are many people who work and cook! Our family has a few fields, and it will be completed in a few days! ”

Li Qiufang didn't think so.

"It's a few days, in case it rains, by the way, you have to pay attention to this drying field."

The more she said, the more she felt that there were more issues to consider.

It's still hard to persuade that.

Ming Hao was a little amused, and said: "No one cares about this, in fact, it is also free, it doesn't matter if it's early or late." ”

Chu Shouyi, who had been drinking porridge next to him, spoke at this time, "A few people are in the field, and when the time comes, a few of you will be outside, I will guard the drying field, and Ah Chu will cook." ”

As soon as he spoke, Li Qiufang felt a lot more at ease.

"Dad, you ...... here" Li Qiufang wanted to be polite but didn't know how to say it.

She is also afraid of Chu Mingde, and she has ideas over there.

"I can't be my own master yet, I'll watch it by the way."

Li Qiufang didn't say anything.

Who knows, this is a stable heart, and the next day is not calm.

"Hurry up, take the sickle, and cut the rice!"
