"Sand ...... Sand...... Sand ......"

Outside the door, the sound of rain became quieter, and in the wooden house, the family sat around a dining table, and in the middle of the dining table was a large bowl of pea paste that had already been cold.

The cow was injured and the family went out to plough the land, and this was the same food that Mother and Little Nina had prepared in the middle of the night when they got up in the middle of the night.

Humble food, usually steaming hot is not delicious, and cold and cold is naturally even more tasteless.

However, this kind of food, next to the dinner table, no one in the William family cared, and the family did not have a big bowl in the center at all, everyone looked at the left side of the wooden house from time to time, almost everyone smiled, and their eyes were full of joy.

"Lot......" Old William never took his eyes off the cow, "...... Don't you really need to thank the pastor? ”

"Father, you've already asked for the third time!" There were too many things in the morning and there was no time for poaching, Wu Qingchen was hungry early in the morning, and had to chew the cold beans with a sad face: "I must go and thank you...... But not now, when the cow's wound is completely healed and she can go to work in the field, we will go to church together. ”

"Oh...... Oh...... Go to church...... Go to the church, ......" William nodded quickly, but the next question clearly showed that William didn't pay attention to Wu Qingchen's reply at all: "By the way, Los, how long will it take for the cow to be completely well?" ”

This is also the third time!

Wu Qingchen sighed in his heart, and swallowed the beans in his mouth with great effort: "...... I don't know how long it will take to get completely well, but it should take two or three days to heal the wound......"

"Two or three days...... Two or three days ......"

Although it was the third time he had heard this answer, as soon as Wu Qingchen finished speaking, Old William next to the dinner table still grinned involuntarily, and on the other side, Jacquelin, Idra, Grace, and Little Nina, who had already finished eating and was cleaning up the mess on the ground, also smiled for the first time.

Just two or three days!

The most important season of farm work, the most important labor force is half a month ahead of schedule, how important and fortunate it is for a poor farmer family.

"Father...... Father ......"

Next to him, Idra, whose face was full of joy, swallowed the last mouthful of mush, put down the wooden spoon, looked at the wooden bowl in front of Old William, which had barely moved and was still full of mush, and reminded in a low voice: "...... Father, the third bell is about to ring...... You see......"

"Oh...... Oh...... The third bell ...... The third bell ...... The third bell! ”

The next moment, the family saw that old William sat up straight, grabbed the wooden bowl, waved the wooden spoon quickly, and opened and closed his mouth quickly.

"Smack!"

"That's it!" In less than a minute, old William put down the empty wooden bowl, stood up, and commanded without looking back: "Jacqueline, clean up the table, Idra, Grace, carry the plowcart of the Todd family......"

Half a minute later, old William, who had stood beside the cow, glanced quickly into the cabin, and saw that the table had been cleaned up, and Idra and Grace had lifted the plow.

"Good...... Let's go! ”

The family stepped out of the wooden house, just out of the wooden door, old William suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and looked back, Wu Qingchen stood behind him, holding a wooden catalpa with both hands.

"...... Loos" Old William frowned: "What do you do?" ”

"Go to the field......" Noticing William's gaze on the catalpa, Wu Qingchen's hands shook slightly, and his voice was a little puzzled: "...... Right? I can't use a plow truck by myself, so I can only dig with this ......."

"Digging? Go to the land? No, no, no, no......" Old William quickly shook his head: "What kind of soil to dig!" What a place to go! Fooling around......"

While speaking, Old William stretched out his hand to grab the wooden catalpa held by Wu Qingchen: "Go back, go back quickly, take good care of the cow in the afternoon, don't worry about anything else......

"Father...... Wait a minute...... Father ......" Wu Qingchen retreated again and again before avoiding William, "Don't worry...... The pastor taught me that the next time I was healed would be at night...... It's still so early, there's nothing to do, there's nothing to take care of...... Father! Other...... Wait a minute...... Father! I'm going to church later! Maybe the pastor hasn't finished teaching yet...... Heal the cow! ”

"Pastor! Heal the wounds! ”

Hearing the last sentence, Old William, who was still fighting hard for the catalpa, instantly paused and let go of his hands.

Wu Qingchen hurriedly stood a few steps away, "Father, I'll go first, the third time the bell is ringing, you guys should go too......"

As he spoke, Wu Qingchen grasped the wooden catalpa, bypassed his family, and walked quickly to the east of the village.

"Father's ......"

Seeing that Wu Qingchen's figure was getting smaller and smaller, Old William was still standing in place and staring, looking at the gradually brighter sky with some anxiety, and Idra reminded in a low voice: "Father, let's go?" ”

"Yes, let's go." Old William came back to his senses and took a step.

However, after only two steps, old William quickly stood still again, turned to the younger brother and sister who were struggling to pick up his younger siblings, and prepared to go to the daughter of the lord's commonwealth together, "Nina, put Paavo and Karma home, and you don't have to go to work in the afternoon, just stay at home, watch over the cow, and wait until the evening bell rings to start preparing dinner......"

“…… Dinner? Father...... Wait a minute......" Nina, who had just turned around, immediately turned around and pointed to the steaming cauldron inside the wooden house, above the roaring fire: "If you want to cook, what will happen to the herbs in here?" Dump it? ”

"No, no, no!"

The others shouted at the same time, and Old William pulled Little Nina's arm hard, "Don't fall!" In the afternoon, in addition to watching the cows, you also have to see this pot of herbs...... Alas, why did you forget to ask about such an important matter, Grace, you go and ask Los, what to do with the herbs in the pot......"

"Good...... Target...... Father...... Grace's voice became smaller and quieter, and when old William had just commanded, Grace had already rushed out, and by the time he had spit out the last syllable, he had already run onto the muddy village road, and his legs were so fast that he could not see that he had experienced a morning of heavy farm work.......

Of course, no one looked at it.

The eyes of the whole family were focused on the right side of the wooden house, eight eyes fixed on the boiling cauldron, and the wooden house was quiet, except for a few heavy breaths when the wood of the fire exploded, or when the turbid liquid tumbled.

Time suddenly slowed down.

In just a minute or two, it felt as if a long time had passed, and finally a series of loud footsteps sounded outside the house, and the footsteps approached quickly, and Grace rushed back to the house panting.

"How?" There was no time to breathe a long sigh of relief like the others, and William Sr. couldn't wait to grab Grace's shoulders, "What did Los say?" ”

Lois said...... Say...... Call...... Call...... ...... Grace panted heavily, her face was very painful: "It's nothing, there are still a lot of herbs for boiling water, you can pour out the potion in the pot when cooking, and re-boil it at night when you treat the cow's injuries, if you want to use it now...... If not...... Call...... Call...... It is also possible to dump ...... now"

"Nope! Can't pour! What if there are not enough herbs by then, or if there is a problem with re-boiling at night? Must not be poured! Old William waved his hand solemnly and turned to his daughter: "Little Nina, you remember, you must guard this pot and burn this fire in the afternoon, and you must not feel sorry for the firewood!" ”

"And ...... You don't have to worry about cooking at night, and you don't have to worry about it! When I come back, I'll go to Richard's house and excuse the pot......"

"Or ...... We just went on with cold food......"

"Anyway, it's a small thing to eat for a day or two...... Healing the cow is the biggest thing! ”

"You have to remember...... Optimistic about the cow, optimistic about the fire ......"

"Watch the pot and don't let anything else fall in!"

"That's right! ……”

After turning back three times and instructing countless times, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and it really couldn't be delayed any longer, so old William finally led his wife and two sons and ran quickly in the direction of the old man's land.

Inside the wooden house, he turned quickly to the cow, to the iron pot, to the fire, and to his younger siblings who were rolling and crying on the bed, and his face was full of caution, trembling, and even creepy, and he was almost about to cry.

I was wrong! I don't talk about ploughing anymore! Father, brother, I'm going to work in the fields!

----

Half an hour later.

To the west of the village, on a small hillside, hidden next to a few dense shrubs, Wu Qingchen put down the catalpa and massaged the sore muscles of his arms and thighs alternately in the way the coaching staff taught.

It's hard work on both hands and feet.

First of all, the legs, in just forty minutes, Wu Qingchen left the wooden house, ran to the east of the village, and then made a big circle, ran to the west of the village.

Then with both hands, in just forty minutes, the stream to the east of the village, the wooden bridge to the west of the village, the steep slope at the corner of the hillside, and the path in the valley of the village all left Wu Qingchen's figure of struggling to wave the wooden catalpa, move the stones vigorously, and pull the branches and thorns with great effort.

In fact, there are still eyes, when all this is done, Wu Qingchen always pays close attention to the surrounding situation, activates all the sound traps along the way, once he hears the wind and grass, or sees the figure of the villagers from afar, he will immediately hide it, without revealing the slightest trace.

Now, those hard work will soon pay off.

Looking at the large group of ploughing cattle that appeared around the corner in the distance and gradually approached, beside the shrubs on the hillside, Wu Qingchen slowly raised his eyes.

----

Five minutes later.

Looking at a large group of cultivated cattle that were closer, next to the display screen, Li Ziping, Jiang Fengming, Huang Xing, Ji Mingming, Xie Yang, Li Zhenxing, Chen Wenming, Huang Zhong, Boris, Abdul, Johnson, etc., etc., etc......

Millions of staff officers, tens of millions of soldiers, and hundreds of millions of people invariably held their breath, and their faces invariably showed nervousness, fanaticism, excitement, excitement......

And......

A vicious sneer.
