Chapter 219: The Field

The people of Qingnan Village were not in the mood to care about this, and they invested in planting seedlings and harvesting wheat

When the seedlings were about to be planted, my grandmother lived in the Chrysanthemum house for a few months, and finally refused to live anymore, so Aoki took advantage of the time to go to Xiatangji to buy land and send her and Laishou back. As a result, Chrysanthemum's life became busy again.

In the spring, the grass and trees are green, the sun is soft, the breeze is blowing, the air is fresh, if it is not for the busy spring ploughing, the life of this field hoeing grass and raising livestock, the chrysanthemum does not feel hard, but realizes the leisurely interest of pastoral life.

She wondered, is there too much land?

If there were a few acres of land, my father and brother would not be in such a hurry, and this day would be much better.

However, even if it is too much, she can't help it, and her father and mother will definitely not sell the land. Now that they have these fields in their hands, they will not let them go there and plant nothing.

Spring planting is tiring and exciting.

After planting seedlings at the beginning, people couldn't straighten their waists for half a day, and then they were able to cope with it freely; From the first day of climbing up from the field, the pace is faltering, to a few days later, the pace is like flying; The field changed from a blank blank at the beginning to a neatly spaced continuous verdant green, and the spring planting for several days seemed to exhaust the leisure and comfort that people had saved for a winter, awakened the labor factor in the body, and got up early every day with full energy and went all out to carry out spring planting.

Chrysanthemum also felt that her hands and feet were more numb, compared to last year, her logistics work was easier, and she thought that she was fully adapted to this tense farming life of rushing to harvest and seed.

When planting seedlings, because Meizi moved to the side of the mountain to live, Hua Pozi ran to her son's house very often, saying that she was helping Meizi, which gave Chrysanthemum a chance to see how Meizi got along with her mother-in-law.

She once went to Meizi's new home to send her some salted duck eggs, and when she saw her arranging for Hua Pozi to do things, her jaw dropped in shock, and she finally understood why she said that Hua Pozi was not lazy.

It turned out that she didn't pay attention to this mother-in-law's temperament and habits at all, and she spoke straightforwardly, doing whatever she had to do, never listening to the excuses and pushes of the flower woman, and not giving her a chance to procrastinate.

Wonder-in she didn't mean to be so to the flower woman, she always was!

Today's flower woman has really been reborn. After Meizi and Li Changming separated, she tidied up the house in an orderly manner and maintained the good tradition left by Meizi.

She doesn't hang out anymore, but she likes to come to her son's house very much, and she gets along with Meizi very harmoniously.

Why? Because the food made by Meizi is better than what she cooks, from time to time, she will fry some cakes for her to take back, she doesn't eat secretly, she just works and eats, and no one has anything to say no!

Chrysanthemum saw her diligent appearance, went home and smiled for a long time, and admired Meizi Wan

On this day, the spring planting is nearing the end, all the paddy fields have been planted with seedlings, and the last paddy field left in the Chrysanthemum family has not been planted.

Zheng Changhe is still helping Liu Xiaomei's family, and her house is also the last day. Because her second sister-in-law has already entered the door this year, she didn't let Chrysanthemum help cook.

Chrysanthemum has been busy at home for so many days, and finally relaxed, because I thought that the rice of a few people in my family would be easy to cook, so I wanted to take time to go to the field to have a look.

In the paddy field, Yang was lifting a handful of seedlings, straightened his waist, untied the tied straw rope, and was just about to bend down to plant seedlings, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw her carrying a basket from the ridge, so he looked up and smiled: "There is only such a little field left, I will plant it slowly with your brother, and we can finish planting it in one day." It's so delicate, what kind of food do you give? ”

Chrysanthemum listened to her words and said embarrassedly: "Mother, I wanted to come to the field to have a look, so I helped you get some cakes by the way." ”

Aoki, who was behind Yang, listened, straightened up and smiled at his sister: "What's the matter, is it possible that you also want to go to the field to plant seedlings?" ”

Chrysanthemum nodded hurriedly and said, "I want to try it too!" I haven't planted seedlings yet. ”

Aoki couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look at what you said, I thought this was a good thing." You look at the fun, there are locusts in the fields! ”

Sure enough, Chrysanthemum got goosebumps all over her body when she heard this, and she was afraid of these mollusks all her life, especially blood-sucking locusts. The thing was bitten on the leg, and even if you screamed in fright, it still sucked on, and even if you started to pull it, and dragged it for a long time, it couldn't pull it off, and it had to slap it the leg before it let go, fell down and curled up into a ball.

Seeing the fear on Chrysanthemum's expression, Yang said with a smile: "Listen to your brother, our field is pretty good, and there are no messy things." ”

As he spoke, he finished planting the seedlings in his hands, washed his hands, and went up to the ridge.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly shouted to Aoki, "Brother, come up and eat the cake, I put meat in the filling."

Aoki agreed, and after a while he came up.

The mothers squatted on the ridge, and Chrysanthemum poured tea for both of them, took chopsticks and bowls and handed them over.

Chrysanthemum looked at the paddy field next to her, which was still white, and did not plant seedlings, and turned around and asked with a smile, "Who owns this field?" Why haven't you planted seedlings yet? ”

Aoki glanced at the field when he heard this, and said, "It's from Brother Changming's family." They are a little later. We are going to plant two crops of rice, and this year's rice seeds that have been soaked in advance will be planted a few days earlier than in previous years. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded, suddenly remembered the flower woman, and couldn't help laughing.

Yang and Aoki looked at her strangely, not understanding why she was smiling indifferently

Chrysanthemum compared what she saw at Meizi's house to her mother and brother.

She somewhat understands why people like to talk about the shortness of the east and west families, and there is no fun in this plain and leisurely pastoral life, and the life of a rural family is not a live broadcast of the serial? Or countless episodes, until old age, until death, and finally by the next generation!

Yang Shi also laughed when he heard it, and said: "This is also crooked, Meizi has never played with others, and she doesn't pay attention to those twists and turns, she thinks about what to do, what does it matter what the flower woman used to be!" It's good to be so angry. You say, if this is a different person, you will definitely get angry when you look at the flower woman, thinking about how to deal with her, playing tricks all day long, and delaying work, won't this day be messed up? Maybe there will be a lot of noise; But Meizi didn't care about any of this, she was like in her mother's house—I saw that she almost disciplined her mother-in-law like a dog. ”

This time, even Aoki burst out laughing. However, he still asked with some doubts: "Even if this is the case, can the flower woman change so quickly?" Uncle Li and Brother Changming haven't broken her for so many years! ”

Yang glanced at him and said, "You don't understand this, can it be the same?" She was born a lazy person, and her mother-in-law didn't care about it back then, let alone her man and son.

But Meizi is different, Meizi is a daughter-in-law, and she is a scheming person, and she is afraid of ugliness when she quarrels. ”

Chrysanthemum also said to her brother: "Although she is lazy, I am afraid that she can't afford to lose that person." I heard that last time it was because I ate the pancakes left by Meizi for Brother Changming, Meizi cried angrily, and only then did I provoke the dog to quarrel in the past, you say, how embarrassing is this? In the past, it was just that no one cared about her, but now Meizi will not be polite to her, Meizi is holding back her strength to live a good life, where will she be! ”

Yang shook his head and sighed: "Meizi is crying for a piece of cake, the dog girl is not arguing for the cake, she is looking for an excuse to give Hua Pozi a powerful look." She's not a simple person, and Meizi can't compare to her. To say that this is also the flower woman's own lack of anger, so she attracted this anger. If it was someone else's house, who would quarrel over the mother's eating of her son's piece of bread? After she finished speaking, she denied it again: "No, if it was someone else's house, the mother would not eat her son's bread." ”

Aoki and Chrysanthemum laughed together.

Aoki thinks, since he was a child, his father and mother have always saved things for himself and his sister to eat, and he always let his sister eat more.

The mother sat on the ridge, talking and laughing, blowing the warm wind, the chrysanthemum felt that the warm breath came to her face, and the sight extended to the far field - into the eyes were patches of green and the faint outline of the green mountains, and then cast into the sky at a very high place - when the soft dark blue under the hood and a few white clouds like cotton wool, this feeling of being surrounded by heaven and earth made her feel comfortable and closer to nature.

The sunlight is not strong, and it provides just the right amount of heat and shines to warm all things.

A few unknown birds swept up and down from field to field, or circled over the rice fields incessantly, as if looking for prey in the field; The people planting seedlings in the paddy fields in the distance talked and laughed loudly, and bursts of laughter were brought by the wind.

She didn't want to go home, so she just sat on the ridge and watched her brother and mother continue to plant seedlings after eating the cakes.

Yang saw that she liked to play outside, and he didn't urge her to go back; Aoki said that there were only three people to eat at noon, and it would be enough to get something to eat when I got home, and my sister would have more fun if she liked to stay here.

So, there were three mothers, one on the ridge and two in the field, talking and working.

Suddenly, I saw Zhang Huai coming in a hurry, his trouser legs rolled high, and he was wearing straw sandals. When he saw Chrysanthemum, he asked in surprise, "What are you doing sitting here?" Do you want to be an overseer? ”

When Chrysanthemum saw him, she chuckled unconsciously, and asked playfully, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you come to help my family plant seedlings? Woohoo! That's great—with your help, my mother and my brother can call it a day sooner. ”

Zhang Huai looked at her as if he was taking advantage of her, and couldn't help but laugh when he said that he was going to fix himself first, but he was here to help, so he smiled and said: "My mother said that your family still has a seedling field that has not been planted, and Uncle Zheng is going to work again, relying on Aoki and my aunt I am afraid that I will not be able to finish planting today, so I will come to help." ”

Ju Bao said with a smile: "Okay! Let's go down quickly, and the sooner we finish planting, the sooner we can finish the work. ”

The Yang family in the field saw that the girl was joking with Huaizi, so he glanced at her and said, "Huaizi, you are also busy at home, why do you still come to help?" If you have free time, it's time to take a break - you were tired a few days ago, right? ”

Zhang Huai said with a smile: "I went to hoe soybeans early in the morning, and I almost got it done." Hoeing grass is no better than planting seedlings, and so on. ”

As he spoke, he kicked off his straw sandals, went down to the field, walked a few steps, and then turned back to ask Chrysanthemum: "It's very sunny in this field, why don't you sit here and not go back?" ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "This sun is not strong." I like to stay here and look at the fields, and my heart is very open. I was dizzy when I was busy a few days ago, and now I want to loosen up. ”

Zhang Huai understood her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Then you should bring a small shrimp net, play with small fish, shrimp and loaches in the ditch, and help the fish pond catch some fish fry." ”

Chrysanthemum's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Oh! That's what I did in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Huai smiled and turned around to plant seedlings. Clear
