Chapter 32: Xiaoxiao 2
Frost in October, late rice is fragrant.
Early rice in July, late rice in October, early rice has a large belly, less hard grains, loose quality, and poor quality, while late rice is the opposite.
In most people's homes, the rice in the fields is not all early rice or all late rice.
Hu Fei's family has few people since his grandfather's generation, so there is little land, but even so, for a woman and two children, these few acres of land are still a very difficult task.
Every time such a busy farming season, the village will be boiling as always, even more than the Spring Festival.
Whether it's wheat or rice, this is probably the most tiring and painful work in all farm work!
People often go down to the field, and they rarely straighten their waists, only the sickle in their hands keeps making a crunching sound.
Families are busy, and at this time, school is not so important!
So the classes in the school were changed to three in the morning and two in the afternoon, and the teacher's family also had a lot of farm work to do!
When I was a child, as long as I could go to school less, I was willing to do more work! grew up, but on the contrary, I was annoyed that I didn't know what to do!
And the day the borrowed student came in the mouth of the Chinese teacher was Friday.
It was a cool day, there was no sun, no heavy clouds, the sky was just gray and bleak, and there was a slight cool wind.
The Chinese teacher stood on the podium with a smile on his face and said that he would introduce a new classmate to everyone.
The chatter in the small class exploded.
Yuan Yu lazily held his cheeks, and he didn't listen to a word of what the head teacher said.
It was only when there was uneven applause around him that Yuan Yu moved his eyes to the door of the classroom slightly.
The picture seems to freeze frame.
The little girl standing at the door of the classroom, her broken hair cut to the roots of her ears was a little messy by the wind, her sleeves covered the back of her hands with long sleeves, and her baby's fat face was a little unhealthy pale, cold, and clean.
There are many kinds of encounters in this world, and this is the most prosaic and surprising one.
This sense of uniqueness in the little girl made those chirping half-grown children suddenly silenced, with a little jealousy and envy on their faces.
The Chinese teacher waved at the little girl with a red face: "Come, let's introduce myself to everyone!" ”
The autumn finches landed on the branches and screamed with joy.
The little girl just raised her cold eyes, walked in without saying a word, walked silently to the vacant seat beside Yuan Yu, and sat down very quietly.
The Chinese teacher was a little embarrassed, but the other children in the class couldn't figure it out, because they didn't want to be at the same table with Yuan Yu!
"Xiaoxiao!"
There were only two words, and his voice was very low, with a little indifference, I don't know if he was talking to Yuan Yu, or responding to the embarrassed teacher on the podium.
But no matter what, the Chinese teacher finally has a step down, but someone is willing to sit with Yuan Yu, which still fills the young teacher's heart with a sense of achievement!
Yuan Yu was also surprised, but only a little surprised, after all, there were no other seats in the class.
During class, Yuan Yu found that the little girl had no textbooks, but just sat very quietly, lowering her eyelids.
So Yuan Yu pushed the book to the side......
。。。。。。。。。。。。
When school ends in the afternoon, it's still early, and you can still do half a day's work when you get home! It will be Sunday for the next two days, and there will be no classes as usual, so Hu Fei is very happy, and on the way back, he chattered endlessly about where he was going to play in the past two days, and finally did not forget to miss his big brother!
Yuan Yu was just in charge of listening, laughing while listening.
Until Hu Fei pointed to the path behind him and asked Yuan Yu: "Xiaoyu, is that the new student in your class?" Look weird! ”
Yuan Yu suddenly found that on the path dozens of meters away behind him, the little girl named Xiaoxiao had been silently following behind.
Yuan Yu nodded lightly: "It's from Lijiazhuang!" ”
Hu Fei suddenly realized: "No wonder you have been following the two of us, it turns out that you are along the way with our village!" ”
Hu Fei is a self-acquainted character, so without waiting for Yuan Yu's reaction, Hu Fei waved his hand and shouted at the little girl: "New here, is there no one to go to school with you!" It's okay, let's drop by! ”
Hu Fei also patted his chest and stood on the road very righteously and waited for a while.
But when the little girl passed by Hu Fei, she didn't even raise her head.
This made Hu Fei very embarrassed, rubbing his nose and muttering that he didn't know what to do, Hu Fei chattered about other things again.
After putting the schoolbag at home, Yuan Yu and Hu Fei went to the field, and Hu Fei's mother had cut nearly half of the rice in the last field alone.
Cutting rice is very physically demanding, so most people will bring water and pancakes or rice balls to the field, and they will eat a little when they are hungry.
Hu Fei and Yuan Yu sat on the ridge and ate their stomachs, so they took the rice seedlings that had been bundled in the field to the flatbed truck next to the ridge, if it rained, it would be very troublesome.
Until the bales of rice piled the flatbed cart high and tied it firmly with ropes, the two and a half children pulled one in front and the other pushed in the back, and by the way picked up the ears of rice that others had fallen on the road, and these rice were to be pulled to the threshing floor to thresh.
There is only one threshing machine on the threshing floor, which is shared, so it can only be used by each family in a queue!
Who's turn, even if it's late at night, that's going to be done!
At this time, the cigarettes and soap towels that Hu Guocheng usually dispersed worked out!
The effect is that Hu Fei's family has obtained the qualification to use the threshing machine for the first time every year!
First, Hu Guocheng is not at home, and it is indeed not easy for women and children, and secondly, after receiving the benefits of Hu Guocheng, he has short hands and short mouths, besides, there is nothing to do to go to someone's house to rub the TV, and if you don't worry about letting people use it first, you can't say it!
Therefore, for Hu Fei's family is always the first, no one will be dissatisfied. On the contrary, there will be men who will help Yuan Yu and Hu Fei unload the straw with a smile.
In this way, the ants are as busy as moving, and it will continue until the night when there is nothing to see!
The rice in the field was finally cleaned, the woman bought pork, replenished oil and water for Yuan Yu and Hu Fei, and in a few days, the sugarcane will be cut!
Yuan Yu and Hu Fei had red marks on their arms and backs scraped by straw, and their hands were also blistered, and they were covered in stinky sweat, but they were unusually steady.
The rice is threshed and dried for a few days before it is harvested, and at this time, the most feared thing is rain!
Fortunately, God is not blind, the day is still gloomy, and the night sky at night is full of stars, which is too pure.
So that night, Yuan Yu and Hu Fei slept on the threshing floor, and they had to take care of their own food, so as not to steal wild things or unclean hands and feet.
The threshing machine on the threshing floor roared all night, and the lights were bright.
With the peculiar fragrance of straw, Yuan Yu and Hu Fei slept sweetly, and they said that they were going to go to the mountains on the other side of the river tomorrow to pick gold cherry seeds to eat......
