Jiang Cui picked up two dustpan rice baskets, walked barefoot steadily, walked on the muddy ridges, flickering, picked up the rake flat seedling field, and put it down on the ridges.

Quickly reach out, grab a few rice handles, swish, and throw them into the field.

The distance between each seedling is about the same.

Ouyang father and son also picked it up, grabbed the seedlings together, and threw them into the field.

Jiang Cui and Ouyang father and son rolled up their trouser legs, quickly went down to the field, and began to plant seedlings, which is very particular about the season.

Jiang Cui They don't use a seedling rope to plant seedlings, and the seedlings are planted quickly and straight.

Ouyang asked the two children of the second sister to play with Mengmeng.

Ouyang and his family are really good at planting seedlings.

Jiang Cui was planted to a third of the way, and he looked sideways at Li Qing who had not yet gone to the field, and stood on a clean machine farming road wearing sandals.

Jiang Cui glanced at Li Qing and glared at Ouyang

"Look at her. I don't know what I'm grinding there, it's like a worker! ”

Ouyang didn't speak, and continued to move back to plant seedlings.

Li Qing really had no choice but to take off his sandals, tie his trousers tightly, and walk from the machine farming road to the muddy and narrow ridge at the edge of the field.

Looking at the muddy seedling field, he gritted his teeth, trembled, and stepped into the seedling field with one foot under his feet.

Quickly stepped the other foot into the seedling field, lifted the foot that went down to the field first, the instep was full of mud and sewage, and saw that it was all mud and nothing else, and his heart settled down a little.

There were several rice seedlings in front of him, Li Qing grabbed a rice seedling with his left hand, untied the grass that bundled the rice seedlings with his right hand, and held a handful of seedlings with his left hand.

Looking at Ouyang's hand, with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, he pulled out two or three seedlings from his left hand, pinched them and pressed them into the mud of the seedling field.

One after another, after planting two rows, you have to lift your feet and move them back.

Every time Li Qing lifted his feet, he really didn't want to step into the mud again.

Li Qing gritted his teeth and bent over to plant about three meters long.

I only heard that on the village road, a few acquaintances talked and laughed and walked by, and a woman shouted loudly towards the rice fields

"Yo, Li Qing, plant seedlings, hehehe'

Li Qing straightened his waist, raised his head and smiled bitterly, and looked forward at the seedling field, the seedlings he planted, the distance between the trees was so-so, just row by row, crooked, and Jiang Cui They couldn't compare.

"Li Qing, if you plant one less column, it will be better,"

Ouyang said with a smile

"Look at my hands"

"Oh, you plant six trees in each row, I'll plant seven, I think it will be faster"

Li Qing bent down again, his right finger separated two seedlings from the dissolved seedlings held in his left hand, pinched the roots with his thumb and index finger, pressed them into the field mud, and planted another one at a distance of one hand.

Li Qing was worried, stepped on the mud with his feet, and continued to plant seedlings.

Suddenly, my heart twisted into my throat and eyes, and it was broken, and I felt that there was something on the skin on the outside of my calf, which was soft and sticky.

Every pore on Li Qing's body was opened, and when he looked closely, it was Ma Huang sucking on his legs.

Li Qing couldn't help it, ah! With a scream, I don't know where the courage came from, I stretched out my fingers and pinched the leech, and pulled it hard, but the horse cockroach was still on my leg.

Li Qing stretched out his hand again, desperately grabbed the leech with his fingernails, and with all his strength, dragged the locust off his legs, brushed the ground and threw it into the distance, bent down to continue planting seedlings.

Jiang Cui and Ouyang father and son, bent down and bowed their heads, planting seedlings, as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Li Qing saw that next to his feet, there was a thin wave on the turbid water, getting closer and closer, and he could see a small yellow head in a triangle

"Snake!"

Li Qing screamed again, the hairs on his body stood up, and there was a burst of cold sweat on his head, and he raised his legs and jumped from the field to the narrow, wet and slippery ridge.

"This is a water snake, it doesn't bite"

Ouyang stepped over, looked at the water and said

"Li Qing, it's almost noon, you go home first, take a look at the cute men, and we'll plant the rest."

Li Qing was barefoot, stepped on the muddy ridge, and slid step by step towards the machine farming road, and Jiang Cui shouted loudly behind him

"Oops! You go to the village commissary and buy some pickled vegetables."

Then I vaguely heard Jiang Cui say

"I planted those seedlings in the morning, one moment this, one moment that, I can't do any work, I look white and tender, it's all like her, our family drinks the northwest wind!"

"Mom, Li Qing hasn't worked at home,"

"You haven't worked, why are you marrying her? In the future, the family will rely on you to work alone. “

Li Qing just didn't hear it, for Ouyang's sake, he was really too lazy to worry about her, so he could endure it, anyway, he didn't live with her every day.

Li Qing dragged his mud legs, returned home, and saw Mengmeng and his cousin playing at the door, and said

"Mengmeng, play with my brother and sister, mom goes grocery shopping, I'll be back soon"

Meng Meng ran over to Li Qing to hug him, Li Qing pointed to the mud on his clothes,

"Does it stink? Go play with my brother and sister."

Turning around and hurrying, he went to the room and took out the money. I went to the commissary and bought a pound of pork, four braised thousand rolls, and three pounds of apples.

He washed the apples, put them on the table in the hall, and told the three children to come and eat them themselves, and in a hurry, they went to the vegetable garden to pick some greens.

Li Qing went to cook rice in the iron pot.

The matchbox seems to be damp,

I wiped a few matches, but I didn't lead the grass, and I took a lighter from the room and lit the fire, so drunk that Li Qing's eyes couldn't open.

The meal was ready, and Jiang Cui and the others also came back with mud legs.

"Li Qing, hahaha, you are singing at home"

"What?"

Ouyang pulled Li Qing into the room and went to the mirror.

Li Qing looked at it, his unkempt hair in the mirror, a few smears of pot ash on his face, slender fingers, and his nails were stuffed with black dirty mud and dust.

"It's a flower cat, I'll help you wipe the ashes, hahaha"

Ouyang was wiping the dust on Li Qing's face with a towel.

Jiang Cui walked into the door of the east room and stopped, stretched out his head to look at the room, and then walked away with "dong dong".

Li Qing heard Jiang Cui shouting

"Ouyang~! Eat."

Ouyang answered

"Oh!"

Said to Li Qing

"Let's go! Eat and go. ”

The two went to wash.

Li Qing served rice in a small bowl, poured broth, minced meat, and green vegetables, and then asked Mengmeng to sit on the small bench, sit opposite him, and feed Mengmeng to eat.

Jiang Cui held the bowl in his left hand, put it on his left leg, chewed the food in his mouth, held the chopsticks in his right hand and put them on his knee, looked at Meng Meng and Li Qing with a crooked face, and asked Ouyang

"When are you going to have a second child? The first child is a girl, and you can have a second child at the age of three."

Ouyang replied casually,

"We'll talk about it later."

Jiang Cui's eyelids rolled, the corners of her mouth drooped down, and she pouted

"What do you mean later? Hurry up and give birth while you're young, it's so easy to have a baby, it's still a while! ”

Ouyang Lei nodded beside him

"If Meng Meng is a boy, then you can not give birth if you don't give birth, we don't force you"
