"Stay away from me." Liu Man'er couldn't bear it, she couldn't retreat, she didn't want to be so close to a stove.

"I'm not going to do anything to you." Ye Yuan said, the weather is too hot, he works too hard during the day, and he is not interested in the night.

"I know, but it's too hot, you're so hot." Liu Man'er told the truth.

"Why didn't you think I was hot before?" Ye Yuan was a little speechless.

"Wasn't it cold at that time?" Liu Man'er sneered, "It's hot now." ”

"That's not fair, I'll keep you warm on a cold day, and you have to give me a summer escape on a hot day." As he spoke, he pulled Liu Man'er into his arms with a big hand.

Liu Man'er felt that she was wrapped in a stove, but there was no way, she couldn't break free, fortunately, Ye Yuan didn't want to heat her, so she took out a fan to fan her.

Seeing that there was a cool breeze blowing, Liu Man'er didn't care about him anymore, she shrank in his arms like a kitten, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the two woke up, although Liu Man'er likes to sleep lazy, but she is not the kind of person who can't tell the situation, now is the time when the farm is busy, they went to the field early, and today it is time to harvest rice.

An acre of land can still be harvested in one day with a family's efforts, Liu Man'er wants to take back the rice quickly, and she doesn't care about washing her face and brushing her teeth early in the morning, so she follows Ye Yuan to harvest the rice in the field first.

Not only her, but also Fang's, Ye Feng, Ye He, etc., all rushed away, but Liu Fusheng was younger, so he asked him to do some sprinkling and sweeping work at home.

Although the water in the field has long been drained, the field is still a little wet and soft, and when Liu Man'er leaves the field, he feels that he is surrounded by this wet and soft mud.

It was a strange feeling, and she stepped around the field like a child, and then found a suitable spot to start cutting the rice.

This rice is cut with a special small sickle, which is very convenient, although Liu Man'er has never worked, but the speed is quite fast, and she will catch up with Ye Yuan in a while.

When the sun rose, the family cut half of the acre of land, and the Fang family went home early to cook, while Liu Man'er and the others were still busy working in the field.

About three poles in the morning, the people in the village went home one after another, but some people were still busy in the fields, waiting for their families to bring food, Ye Yuan also wanted to continue working, but Liu Man'er asked him to go back together to rest for a while.

Even if he is beaten with iron, he will collapse if he does this every day.

Coming up from the field, she was about to put down her rolled up trouser legs, when Liu Man'er's eyes suddenly stared, and there was a black and red thing on her leg!

"Ye Yuan, this leech has gone into my flesh." Liu Man'er even trembled in her voice, she was most afraid of this kind of thing, she was even afraid of earthworms, not to mention, this kind of blood-sucking leech.

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'll pull it out for you." The little girl Ye He was not afraid, she might have seen too much, she stretched out her hand, and was ready to help Liu Man'er pull out the leeches at her ankles.

"Don't ......" Ye Yuan stopped Ye He's movements, he walked over and gently patted Liu Man'er's calf, and under the trembling, the leech fell from Liu Man'er's ankle.

"Could it be that some leeches have already burrowed into my body?"

Thinking of this, Liu Man'er got goosebumps all over her body, she was embarrassed to cry in front of Ye He and Ye Feng's two children, but her eyes were obviously a little red, and her voice was a little wet, trembling terribly.

"No, leeches don't burrow into human bodies, don't worry." Ye Yuan walked over, picked the leech to a stone with a sickle, and said, "This leech can be used in medicine, and many children still catch them and sell them." ”

In fact, he originally wanted to trample it to death, but he was afraid that Liu Man'er would feel disgusting, so he could only put it on the stone and let the sun dry.

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't be afraid." Ye Feng also said on the side, "I've caught it before." ”

"Really?" Liu Man'er was still a little scared when she thought about it, she rolled up her trouser legs, looked around to make sure that there were no leeches covering her, and then put it down again.

But on the way home, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she always felt that a leech had crawled up her leg.

Ye Yuan knew that she was most afraid of this kind of mollusk, so he comforted again and again, "No, they won't enter your body, at most they will suck some blood and leave, they won't be able to climb up, you don't have to worry." ”

"Really?" Liu Man'er was always afraid that some leeches would crawl on her, and the thought of this made her scalp tingle.

"Otherwise, I'll give you a full body check-up when you get home." Ye Yuan walked beside Liu Man'er and whispered.

"Don't." Liu Man'er shook her head violently, "I'll just go home and take a shower." ”

When I got home, the meal was ready, Liu Man'er didn't care about eating, she first went to take a shower, and then changed her clothes, although Ye Yuan and others said that this leech would not climb up, don't worry. But she has this psychological effect, she always feels as if something slippery and greasy has crawled over her body, and she can relax after taking a shower.

While eating, when she saw Fang's fried meat, she suddenly felt sick to her stomach, ran to the side and vomited, Fang's hurriedly asked, "Man'er, what's the matter?" ”

"It's fine." Liu Man'er waved her hand, "You eat first." ”

She had no appetite for the first time, and when she saw this meat, she suddenly felt that it was the leech that climbed on her ankle today, and she felt a little sick to her stomach for a while.

"Did you catch the cold by not covering the quilt at night?" Fang asked with concern.

"Nope." Liu Man'er waved her hand, "I was bitten by a leech this morning, and I now have a shadow in my heart, and I see that this meat is a bit similar to a leech." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it." Ye He heard Liu Man'er describe it like this, and he couldn't eat for a while.

"Okay, silly boy, don't be afraid, I've been bitten by leeches before, and they said that they would burrow into people's bodies, and then breed a lot, which made me worry for a long time." While eating, Fang told Liu Man'er the story that circulated in the village: "It is said that a husband and wife quarreled, and the husband grabbed his wife's hair and wanted to beat her, and guess what? ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Man'er asked with wide eyes.

"This husband ripped off his wife's hair at once!" Fang Shi said matter-of-factly: "It turns out that this wife's scalp is full of leeches. ”

Liu Man'er touched her hair when she heard this, a little apprehensive, in fact, she knew that she shouldn't, but she was afraid.

"It was said that there were leeches in this well, and when my wife washed her hair, this leech got into it, and then multiplied a lot." Ye He also answered.

"Okay, don't scare me, I really can't help but be scared." Liu Man'er touched her hair, "This leech has already been scalded to death in hot water, don't scare me." ”

"Yes, it's just a story, don't be afraid, I said it, leeches don't go into the human body, and many doctors still use leeches to treat diseases." Ye Yuan knew that Liu Man'er was pretending to be calm, so he put his hand on hers and patted it, and said, "Eat." ”

"I'm not eating." Liu Man'er shook her head, she didn't have the courage to eat this piece of meat anymore.

"Okay, Man'er, I'm really joking with you, this is the story made up by those boring people in the village, it's all fake, Xiaohe is not afraid." Fang suddenly remembered this story.

Liu Man'er still shook her head, "I really don't have an appetite, do you have porridge?" I'll just drink some porridge. ”

"How can you do that, you've been drinking porridge for a few days, and you see that this little face has lost a lot of weight." Fang Shi said and put a bowl of rice for Liu Man'er and put it in front of her, "Eat some, it's not right to be a mother, you shouldn't tell a story to scare you." ”

Fang also saw that she had told Liu Man'er stories about those fairies and ghosts in the past, Liu Man'er was not afraid at all, and she could tell her stories, but when she talked about this kind of thing, she was very afraid.

"It's not because of the story you told me, I really can't eat it." Liu Man'er shook her head, pulled the rice in the bowl into Ye Yuan's bowl, left a bowl bottom, and counted and ate it one by one.

"Why don't you be home today?" Fang said tentatively.

"No, you don't." Liu Man'er shook her head, stood up, and drank some water boiled with mint leaves, and the cool feeling seemed to soothe her body and soul.

In the morning, he still went to the field with Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan moved out a big bucket, which was surrounded by bamboo mats on three sides, leaving only one opening in the front, as if he was calling to play the bucket, he moved the bucket to the field to play the he, Liu Man'er wanted to carry it with him, he didn't want it, and he carried the bucket to the field alone.

Next, Liu Man'er and the others continued to harvest the rice, while Ye Yuan carried the seedlings to the edge of the bucket and smashed them hard.

The dust of the seedlings was everywhere, and the rice fell into the bucket.

There is no harvester, so it's really hard to smash like this.

In Liu Man'er's imagination, although she didn't need a mechanical harvester, she should at least use a drum threshing machine with her feet, but no, alas, she knew there was no, so she designed one, and it was too hard to smash it like this.

Suddenly, I understood the meaning of "who knows that the food on the plate and the grains are hard", and I also felt that the food that had been wasted by myself in the past became heavy.

"Ye Yuan, you cut the rice first, this dust is so big, I'll sew a mask for you, so that the dust doesn't get into your mouth." Liu Man'er said and stood up and ran home.

Seeing her go home, Fang's was a little strange, Liu Man'er said hello to her, and without saying much, she went into the room to find cotton cloth, needlework and thread to sew masks.

Because she was worried that Ye Yuan would not listen to her, she quickly sewed a simple thin belt mask, and then ran to the field again.

Ye Yuan really didn't listen to her, and continued to smash the rice, and when he saw Liu Man'er running over again, his movements slowed down.

Liu Man'er said, "Why don't you listen to me, didn't you let you harvest the rice first?" Why do you have to pretend to be He? ”

"I'm afraid I'll not be able to finish it later." Ye Yuan replied dryly.

Liu Man'er poured him water, asked him to rinse his mouth first, and then put the mask on him, although it was a bit nondescript, but it was better than him eating dust.

Although there was no Ye Yuan's participation, after a morning's effort, Liu Man'er and the three of them still finished cutting all the rice in this field, and then, they only needed to pretend to be he.

At the same time, standing in the field, as long as he stopped for a moment, Liu Man'er could hear the sound of dressing up around the field.

Although they were very tired and tired, the villagers were full of smiles when they saw the golden rice falling into this bucket like gold.

This year's annual harvest is not bad, there is no drought or flood, the wind and rain are smooth, most of the villagers have a good harvest, and they can have a good year.
