It was June, the sky was cloudless, the sun was scorching, fortunately surrounded by mountains, the streams were murmuring, and the occasional breeze wrecked the rice fields, so it was not dull.

Su Mingguang was sitting on the ridge smoking a hookah at this time, Yao Jinfang also rested, holding his waist and drinking tea in the pot, both of them were wearing long shirts and trousers, wearing liberation shoes, hand sleeves, and straw hats on their heads.

Su Mingguang exhaled a puff of smoke, the brim of his hat casting a shadow on his dark face, he glanced at the same little girl next to him and shook his head.

The little girl is not an outsider, it is Su Xiaoting, she is also wearing a long shirt and trousers, wearing an inappropriate straw hat, sitting on the ridge and drinking water.

The little girl is sensible early, and she knows how to repay her kindness, and she has to come to help every year when she cuts the grain, and naturally no one will let her do it, but she has work in her eyes, and she can do as much as she can do when she sees that she can do the work of taking the harvest and digging the grain.

At first, the people in the village were not allowed, and they were so busy in the past that they were reluctant to ask their children to work in the field under the scorching sun, at most they were sending food and water, not to mention now.

Besides, this is not his own child, and this child is so young and so pitiful. But no matter how she persuaded her, the little girl didn't listen, and slowly everyone let her go, after all, it was better to let her help under her nose than to run up the mountain and down the water again when no one watched her.

However, last year, the little girl didn't come to the field to help, she was managed by Su Qinghe, and the sun was so sunny that she was at home blowing the air conditioner and eating watermelon to play with the young girl at the time.

It's just that Su Mingguang didn't expect that this child would come again this year when he was already in school and her father was at home.

At this time, Yao Jinfang suddenly spoke: "Ah He really came with a good girl." Su Mingguang and Su Xiaoting hurriedly stood up and looked, only to see a yellow excavator driving in the distance of the cement road.

"This Ah He," Su Mingguang shook his head and smiled,

"He didn't come to the field no matter how he teased him when he was a child, but now that he is a father, he has to bring his children here, and his aunt can't take care of it." Yao Jinfang's squint,

"If you don't go, you won't make trouble, he really wants to go to the field, can you really let him work? Big daddy and aunt spoil Ah He, you don't know. Su Mingguang smiled, smoked the last puff of cigarette, drank water, picked up the sickle and continued to cut the crop.

Su Xiaoting came early, she hadn't threshed yet, her task now was to move the rice cut by the adults to the threshing machine, this work was not in a hurry, so she came out to the side of the road and waited for the obedient arrival.

Obediently, those big eyes are not white, they are very sharp, and they saw Su Xiaoting on the side of the road from a distance, and they were so happy that they worked harder, as if in this way, the excavator that had stepped on the accelerator to the end could be faster.

Su Mingguang's paddy field is near the vegetable field of Suqinghe's family, close to Xiaohe, and is the edge of the boundary of Shuangtang Village.

No matter how anxious she is, the maximum speed of the excavator in the safety mode is also limited, and she refuses to let Su Qinghe drive, so she can only rush without being fast or slow.

When I came, I couldn't see Su Xiaoting anymore, and I was looking around obediently looking for someone, and I thought I was wrong, and suddenly jumped up from the ridge between the two rice fields.

"Wow!" Obediently startled, fixed his eyes on Su Xiaoting, and giggled again. The little sisters converged, and after a while, Su Qinghe picked up and walked obediently to Su Mingguang's field, the little guy stood high and saw far away, the rice could not block the sight, and when he saw Su Mingguang and his wife hunched over, he waved his little hand happily and shouted angrily.

Hearing the voice, Su Mingguang and his wife straightened up and responded with a smile, Yao Jinfang still wanted to come forward and hug him, but when he saw that he was covered in stinky sweat and his clothes were dirty, he had to give up.

"Dad, what's that department for~" Obediently attracted by a big guy in the field, stared straight at it.

Su Qinghe looked over,

"It's called a threshing machine, let's go see if we're okay?"

"Good~" This is a pedal threshing machine, the bottom is a rectangular wooden bucket similar to the body of the sand truck, the left and right rear three sides of the baffle are as high, the front baffle is higher, the wooden bucket is set up in front of a barrel covered with U-shaped steel bars, with the foot pedal, the barrel will rotate, the top and left and right rear three sides of the barrel are surrounded by baffles, and the front is left to feed the handle.

This thing is used for threshing rice, and when you use it, you can press the pedal and feed the barrel to the bucket, and the rice will fall into the wooden bucket.

The agricultural operation in Shuangtang Village is very traditional, and even the most advanced tool for threshing is only a diesel threshing machine, but only Su Mingwei's family in the village has a diesel one, and the others mainly use foot pedals.

Obediently very interested in the barrel covered with U-shaped steel bars, Su Qinghe raised the pedal with his foot, stepped on it, and the barrel followed

The mechanical sound of "beep, beep" turned. The obedient eyes widened all of a sudden, as if he had seen something incredible,

"It's going to move, it's going to move~" It's really a knife cutting the butt, and it's an eye-opener.

"What's so strange!" Su Xiaoting laughed, laughing at the little baby's loneliness and unheard of never seeing the world, and then secretly glanced at Su Mingguang's side, and saw that they were bowing and cutting the crops, so she picked up a handful of rice and said sneakily that she would show her how to threshing.

Su Qinghe stepped on the pedal, looking suspicious,

"Have you ever beaten the valley?" Su Xiaoting wanted to say that she had been beaten, but Su Mingguang was here, and her lies would be exposed immediately, so she just hesitated and shook her head.

She was only four or five years old when she came to help, and no adult would agree to her threshing, threshing looks easy, in fact, it is also easy, but when the rice hits on the rotating barrel, it will be carried forward, and if you are not careful, there will still be a danger of disturbing your hands.

At this time, Su Mingguang looked over and saw Su Xiaoting holding a handle in her hand, it seemed that she wanted to thresh, and told Su Qinghe a little uneasy: "Ah He, you take care of the child, don't let Xiaoting thresh, you know." Before Su Qinghe could answer, he heard Su Xiaoting shouting in a small voice

"Uncle Qinghe", he looked down and saw that the little girl was looking at him with a begging expression. He softened his heart, he was also a child who grew up in the countryside, he could understand Su Xiaoting's great interest in the threshing machine, he often played secretly with his friends when he was a child, as long as he was not working, this thing was a big toy.

And it seems that Su Xiaoting is obedient, she should really not have beaten the valley, when he was a child, the adults said that they would not let him, and they had to take advantage of the adults' inattention to sneak a beat, but they could only play once, and then the adults would guard against it.

So he pleaded with Su Mingguang for Su Xiaoting,

"Uncle Mingguang, Tingting is not too young, just let her try it, I'll watch it." Su Mingguang blew his beard and glared,

"You look, you haven't beaten the valley, what do you see? What if Xiaoting gets involved, do I want to threh today? Yao Jinfang also said: "Yes, Ah He, you are still holding your good girl." Su Qinghe gave Su Xiaoting a helpless look, and then glanced at her obediently,

"Look, it's all your fault, you made my sister can't play." Good people are going to be stupid, I didn't do anything, I didn't say a word, can this also depend on me?
