Chapter 48: The Wheat Harvest
The sound of cuckoos, the fragrance of wheat. Eleven-year-old Bai Ling and her two eight-year-old twin brothers ushered in another golden season of wheat harvest. This was the first wheat harvest for the three siblings after they lived independently.
Life is a maturation. Bai Ling has forgotten that she is an 11-year-old girl.
Bai Ling ran into the field every day, next to the plot to check the ripeness of the wheat. At this time, there were many people in the field to check the wheat situation. As the agricultural proverb goes, when the wheat is ripe, everyone is afraid of missing the harvest time, which will reduce the harvest. Bai Ling observed very carefully, and if she didn't understand, she asked her uncles and uncles for advice in time. In just a few days, she has gained a lot of knowledge. This method of learning and using at the same time, learning and combining with use, has made her very talented. She even felt that she could grow several years a day. She is now like an outpatient doctor diagnosing the patient's condition, and like a specialist doctor doing ward rounds, she must be familiar with the situation on the spot, grasp the situation on the face, and she must be aware of it inside and out. Only in this way will the action be effective, and the problem will be solved with half the effort. Now everything she has done is not only forced by life, but also necessary to survive, she has forgotten her gender and age, she must support this family, she must be worthy of the ancestors of the Bai family. She wanted to reassure her father's spirit in the sky.
Before Bai Ling reached her own plot, she met Uncle Zhang to the east and Uncle Wang to the west. They were walking back from the field. Bai Ling hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang, are you also coming to see Maizi?"
"Miss Ling, are you going to see the wheat too? If it's just for the wheat, you don't have to run errands. We've already seen it for you, and the wheat is growing well. ”
"Uncle Uncle, how do you contact the matter of this harvester?"
"Miss Ling, you don't have to be afraid of this harvester, it's on your uncle. Your aunt has already discussed the cost of this harvest with me, and I will pay for you. You just have to get your pockets ready. When the mowing is open, I will call and let you know. ”
Bai Ling was about to open her mouth to say thank you, but Uncle Wang answered first.
"Miss Ling, I have taken care of this autumn sowing. I just told you Uncle Wang about this. I've already discussed it with your aunt. I'll pay for you for the cost of using people to farm the land. It's not easy for you to support this family at a young age. ”
"Uncle and uncle, I thank you in advance, and thank you aunt and aunt. However, you must tell me how much money you have paid for me. Harvest the wheat, sell the wheat, and I will pay you back. Even if it can't be paid all of a sudden, I have to write it down, so that Bailong Baihu knows it in his heart, and he will pay it back slowly in the future. I'm keeping an account now. I remember the benefits of the uncles, uncles, aunts, and aunts in the village to us, and one day, we will repay them, so that our kindness will be rewarded. ”
"Miss Ling, don't say it. You said that Uncle felt strange and uncomfortable. Your father is a good man, and if you have a father, you must have a daughter! ”
"Miss Ling, uncle remembers that your family still has a small piece of land in Xihewa. There is no access to the harvester, and it can only be harvested manually. You sisters need to figure it out. But don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. ”
"Thank you, uncle, I'll go to that plot now."
At dinner, Bai Ling hadn't opened her mouth yet, and Bai Long first asked about the wheat harvest.
"Sister, how are we going to live this year's wheat harvest? I think there are so many things that are difficult to do. When Bai Long said this, his little brow furrowed tightly, and it was obvious that he had used his brain a lot.
"It is difficult to say that the wheat harvest is difficult, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. However, I really need the two of you to help me and sell my strength. Maybe you'll have to delay your studies for a few days. ”
"Sister, how can this wheat harvest be said to help you? This is our duty, and we should work hard. It doesn't matter how many days it affects learning. Our brother and son promise that it will not affect their academic performance, please rest assured that my sister will not be affected. ”
When Bai Long said this, Bai Hu didn't interject, just nodded vigorously. It seems that the little brothers have already discussed.
The morale of the little brothers also encouraged her sister Bai Ling. The young lady redescribed the incident of meeting the uncle and uncle on the road.
"Sister, this is called planting melons and getting melons, and planting beans and getting beans. Dad planted a tree for us so we could enjoy the shade. Bai Hu followed up with the conversation.
"Yes, sister, we have to plant trees again. We can't discredit Dad. Paulaner sighed.
The three of them ate in silence.
"Sister, how does that piece of land in Xihewa grow? How do you plan to receive it? Paulaner was the first to break the silence.
"My sister was so preoccupied with the wheat harvest that she forgot to tell you the truth. In the Xihewa area, wheat grows exceptionally well. ”
When the little brothers heard this, they were immediately as excited as Bai Ling.
"Sister, you say, how can we collect this land?"
Bai Ling said: "The harvester is reluctant to go there because the terrain there is high and low, and there are potholes. Not only does it affect the harvesting speed, but it is also easy to damage the machine. Judging by the ruts, someone still drove the tractor in. Of course, that's people's own land, their own cars. ”
"We're all alone. I think we're harvesting in the field, and we're going to cut the ears of wheat and put them in our pockets. Deliver the bicycle that my dad left behind to my home. The three of us work one-stop......
Before Bai Ling's words were finished, the little brothers clapped their hands and applauded: "Sister, your method is really high." We not only save physical strength, but also improve the quality of harvesting and ensure the return of grains to the warehouse. This method is high, it is really high. ”
Bai Hu took out the lines from the movie.
Bai Ling was also amused.
"Do you two want to be movie stars in the future?"
"You can't be a movie star. It's all about spiritual life. We need to learn technology and make a fuss about material life. People, first of all, to solve the problem of eating. ”
Bai Ling hurriedly praised and said, "Good, good." Everyone has their own ambitions and needs. Just pick the right goal and work towards it. ”
Bai Ling said in her heart: "My brother is older. The shadow of his father is revealed. Life experiences have taught them that eating is a big problem. Survival ...... must be solved first In terms of age, they are still children, but their minds have stepped into the ranks of adults. ”
Bai Ling forgot about herself. She's a kid too. Her conduct in the world often makes people who are not confused sigh.
Life is a kind of tempering. If the weather is sunny and windy, everything will be smooth sailing. Then, you lack exercise, you will lack knowledge, you will lack knowledge. If you are experiencing the baptism of storms every day, climbing is difficult and dangerous. The earth will give you knowledge, the heavens will give you talents, and life will give you potential. Your quality is proportional to your experience, and age becomes a surprising symbol.
