2. Cultivation and romance

Spring planting, summer planting, autumn harvesting, winter storage.

This is the traditional farming law in the Central Plains of China, and now in July and August, it is the season of Xia Yun, but Fu Yangguo has newly joined thousands of naturalized people, and needs to open up a large amount of wasteland as farmland, so as to ensure that everyone can cultivate in time next year, and will not live by eating the old book.

Since most of the naturalized people were busy building houses, the task of reclamation was handed over to the students of the academy.

"Morningside is desolate, and he returns with the moon and lotus. Every time I read these two lines of poetry, I feel very romantic. Meng Lin closed the poetry textbook.

"Isn't this a poem in a junior high school textbook? I don't feel romantic, isn't it just a description of the labor scene, it is Tao Yuanming who said that although he is hard, he must stay in the countryside, probably this is what he means?"

"I think you don't understand romance. ”

"It's time for us to go, today's task is not light, to reclaim two acres of wasteland. Xiaoxue put on light trousers and beckoned the two to leave.

When she arrived at the wasteland to be reclaimed, Meng Lin was dumbfounded, she was wearing shorts, and the mosquitoes seemed to like her white and tender long legs, and after a while, she was bitten two or three big bags, which made her scratch left and right, very uncomfortable.

"I think you'd better go back and change your clothes, or you won't be able to stand it when you're hoeing in a while. ”

"Well, wait until I come back......" Meng Lin ran away as if she had been granted amnesty.

"Xiaoxue, how about we dare to do more things before Meng Lin comes back?"

"Hmph, you are good to Meng Lin, I'm afraid she will be tired. Xiaoxue deliberately learned Meng Lin's tone.

"Ah...... That was not what I meant. ”

"Really?"

"Yes, I grew up like to surprise people, but I didn't like to complete tasks, and I don't know why I think that way. I always feel very passive when completing tasks.,It's easy to be lazy.,And when others don't do what they ask, they will work very hard.,Especially want to make results that are higher than others expect.,If I change Xiaoxue, I will do the same.。 ”

"I'm joking with you, but you do treat Monlin better. ”

"Uh...... That one...... Is it ......" Yufeng felt a little embarrassed.

The two officially began to work, Yufeng was mainly responsible for hoeing the grass and turning the soil, and Xiaoxue shoveled the weeds into the car. Other students also arrived one after another, and the entire freshman year needed to reclaim thousands of acres of wasteland. Fuyang is located in Shandong, using the Qi Mu system, Qi Mu is also known as Dongtian, is different from the Central Plains ancient mu of a system, they take the business foot eight feet as the step, one acre of one hundred steps, one hundred square meters in the modern world, less than a quarter of the modern one acre. But this more than 100 square meters of wasteland can make everyone tired enough, the wind hoeed for a while to sweat, arms sore, he practiced martial arts every day without feeling tired, doing farm work but out of breath.

Although men and women are not tired of working together, it depends on what kind of work they do, if they are just cleaning the class, decorating the venue, carrying books and other things, not only are they not tired, but the boys can also fully show their gentlemanly demeanor. But hoeing grass and turning over the soil is really facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and at this time, Fuyang's students really experienced this taste, and it is definitely not easy and happy. Looking up, it was less than 20 square meters, and for a while, Yufeng felt a little collapsed, how can an acre of land be so big?

There is only one advantage of working together, that is, you can use chat to divert attention, especially when boys and girls chat alone, they can often get to know each other quickly, and maybe they can also spark some emotions. Yufeng and Xiaoxue don't need to spark, but the rare opportunity to be alone can't be wasted.

"Why don't you like to get things done?"

"It turned out that no matter what I did, how much effort I put in, and the results I got seemed to others to be just barely completing the task or not achieving the goal. Just like my last opponent in the midterm exam, Bai Li Hong, said, because I performed well, and how hard they worked would be underestimated. I have also had a similar experience, in the past, I was compared with other people in various ways, and the result of the comparison was naturally that I was inferior to others in every way, so I hated being asked to catch up with others, and I was disgusted by the so-called high standards and strict requirements. ”

"Then why do you say that you like to surprise people? Aren't the two contradictory?"

"My so-called surprise is based on low requirements, I have always been an ordinary person, and I hope that others do not expect so much from me. It's really strange to say, in my mind, thinking that others have low expectations of me is not to look down on me, but to believe in me. I don't try very hard for the so-called rankings, but I try very hard to exceed the expectations of others, and I think it's much more fun to get a smile on the faces of people who believe in me than to win in a competition. But if as I perform, the expectations of the other party get higher and higher, until they exceed my ability and eventually become high again, then I will be completely unmotivated. ”

"Well, I see, you don't like to be asked to like to be trusted, you don't value competition, you value feelings. ”

"Do you want to sum it up so briefly...... But...... I have to say very incisive. ”

"I like people who value affection, no matter when, no matter how much trouble she causes you, you can stay by her side, protect her, help her, that's what I've always dreamed of. Luckily, here my dream came true, I met the first person who dared to hold my hand in my state and could hug me tightly. ”

"Light Snow ......"

Xiaoxue rested her head lightly on Yufeng's shoulders and put her hands around his arms. Raising his head, a faint flush floated on his fair face, such a scene believes that any boy will be confused, and the two are getting closer and closer......

Flutter - Xiaoxue suddenly laughed, "You have been bitten with a big bag in the middle of your head, red like a woman in Tianzhu, haha......"

Xiaoxue has been much more cheerful in the past few months, she is very beautiful when she smiles, and the wind puts her arm around her waist, and the distance between the two is closer.

Xiaoxue regained her shy appearance at this time and stood on tiptoe......

A large patch of dirt and weeds flew out, and a one-foot pit appeared on the ground.

"You two are dating while I'm not there, and you still have to kiss, it's too much!"

A moment later......

"People are going to get you anti-mosquito potion, you are here to talk about love, hum!" Meng Lin pouted, "Xiaoxue, you didn't keep the agreement, if I hadn't appeared in time, you would have kissed." ”

"Sister Menglin, can you do a little favor while you are jealous now?" Xiao Xue spoke in this tone for the first time.

Meng Lin was also a little surprised, "What help?"

"Can you use your psychic powers to hoe the grass now?"

......

Two acres of wasteland deep and shallow traces and several large pits, Yu Feng swallowed his saliva, the jealous woman is really powerful, the rest of the thing is to clean the "battlefield", but it took a whole day to hoe the remaining weeds.

"You're all left. Windward said to the last of the remaining weeds. Yufeng was going to uproot it with both hands instead of a hoe, and it was really hard for you to say that it was really difficult, as if he felt that something under the soil was competing with him. Boom-boomβ€”after a few muffled sounds, the weed finally left the land it loved.

"Weeds are really powerful, you see how well they have a root system. "The wind showed off his "trophies".

"Yes, anything, as long as it has roots, it will be strong and confident. "Xiaoxue doesn't seem to be just talking about weeds.

As night fell, the three of them finished dragging their tired bodies and moved towards the dormitory.

Xiaoxue pointed to the bright moon in the sky: "Morningside is desolate, bring the moon and hoe back." ”

"Now that this poem is romantic, I agree with it ten thousand......," Yu Feng gasped, "repeating this kind of work every day, from morning to night, without stopping, you can still have the mind to observe the bright moon, and you can also recite poems...... Absolute romanticism. ”

The labor intensity of the real ancients was many times greater than that experienced by the students of Fuyang Academy, and they lacked advanced agricultural tools and did not have psychic skills to use, so their labor intensity can be imagined. There is such a record in "Mencius": A hundred acres of land, don't take it away, a few families, you can have no hunger. When you think about it, the harvest of a hundred acres of land can only meet the ration requirements of a few families, and the mu mentioned by Mencius should be much larger than the area of Qi mu, and the hardship of the ancients is unimaginable.

But in such hardship, the ancients of China created poetry, many of the "national style" in the "Book of Songs" are the songs of the national labor, from the most difficult life to create the most beautiful, I have to say that the Chinese nation is the most romantic nation, the ordinary people of China are a simple and romantic group of people.
