"Dad, mother, are you going to go to the ground?"

Seeing the tools they were holding, Chen Anxia knew what they were going to do.

So he asked.

As soon as she asked, Meng nodded, "I'll go to the ground with your father, and you're at home." When it's time to eat, cook some food, we'll come back later. ”

During the day, they had to go to the town clinic to help, and only when they came back from the clinic could they have time to plant that acre of land.

They came back early today, just in time for an hour or two to be busy.

"Let's go together, it's not too late to come back in the evening and cook later."

As soon as he heard that the Meng family was going to the ground, Chen Anxia also wanted to follow to help.

That little land, early planting has no worries.

"Okay, then let's go together. I'll go with your father first, you go back and change your clothes, and by the way, call Erlang and Shiro. ”

Chen Anxia was wearing new clothes, which were not suitable for going to the ground.

It's better to change into old clothes.

Chen Anxia naturally had no opinion, answered, and led Chen Jinglin back.

changed into old clothes, folded the new clothes, pressed them on the head of her bed, and then called Chen Jingyun and Chen Jingshen out of the door.

It's still hot.

The ground that had been basking for a day also emitted steaming heat.

Yesterday's light rain did not soak the ground, but digging a pit to grow cotton did not require too much water, because the soft soil was still very wet after digging a hoe under the ground.

Chen Yuanlu walked in front to dig a pit, Meng Shi watered the pit, Chen Jingyun threw cotton seeds into the pit, and Chen Anxia followed to bury the pit at the end.

Chen Yuanlu, who dug the pit, did not dig a single row of pits, but opened the bow left and right.

There is a pit on the left and a pit on the right, so that he can walk half of the back and forth with an acre of land.

There are six members of the family, four of whom are farming, and two of whom are sitting idly in the fields.

"Xia Xia, if it's hot, go and rest for a while, and let San Lang come over to help you."

The sun is approaching the western mountains.

Shining on every inch of the earth, knowing the sound in his ears, Meng Shi, who was sweating hotly, reached out and picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his face, then dipped the towel into the bucket, rubbed it twice, and handed it to Chen Anxia.

Chen Anxia took the towel and was wiping his face when he heard Meng's voice.

Looking up at her, Chen Anxia shook his head, "I'm not hot, you don't sweat on your body." ”

Just bury the soil, stand with a soil clipper in your hand, and bury the pit, not tired at all, not hot.

As he spoke, Chen Anxia turned around and let Meng Shi take a look.

Meng Shi saw that there was indeed no sweat on her body, so she didn't say anything.

As we walked forward, it was getting dark. And Chen Anxia and his entourage of four people also walked from the ground to the other side.

"Second sister, look over there."

After a while, everyone sat down on the ground.

It's not too dirty, sit on the floor.

Occasionally, the mountain breeze blows, but it is also much cooler.

The sun is sinking in the west, leaving only a red and bright remnant cloud on the horizon.

Chen Jinglin sat beside Chen Anxia and suddenly shouted.

Chen Anxia glanced in the direction he was pointing, and saw a group of people driving donkeys from Xishan to the earthen ditch on the road not far from them.

"Mother, what are those people doing?"

There are very few outsiders in Luoshangou.

And several donkeys were driven.

"Herb picker." Meng Shi heard Chen Anxia ask, so he replied. "They are medicine pickers from other places, and at this time of year, they go into the mountains to collect medicine."
