Chapter 9: Perseverance
After lunch, Grandma went to bed.
The midday sun was fierce, but it was very cool in the room. If Yi Yang's physics is good enough, he will be able to know why some areas are obviously under the scorching sun, but the shade is very cool, and some areas are obviously cloudy, but it is very hot wherever they hide.
It has to do with how wet and dry the air is.
All morning, Yi Yang was studying with Yi Chuan.
To be precise, "classmates", learning together.
Time flies quickly, Yi Chuan didn't expect that studying is also an easy thing to pass the time, he feels very happy and relaxed to study with his cousin.
Yi Yang picked the most difficult questions in Yi Chuan's winter vacation life to test his learning results, although some of the questions were really brain-burning and couldn't turn around, but he felt that he had gradually entered the state.
You know, he hasn't touched a book for more than ten years!
Even in the first 14 years of study, I was always in a state of fishing.
In the process of studying, Yi Yang found that he was actually very talented in mathematics. Mathematics is about logical ability, and on this part, he is not bad at dealing with maintenance vehicles all year round.
As for the language, it will take a long process of accumulation.
Yi Yang asked Yi Chuan for a notebook to copy the texts that must be memorized. There are about dozens of articles, and most of them are ancient poems, which are not long, so the workload is not too large.
Yi Yang didn't have time to finish copying, because he had to go to pick peppercorns with his second uncle in the afternoon.
Sichuan pepper is one of the specialties of Qinghe County. Every year, a huge amount of peppercorns are consumed in hot pots across the country, and among those peppercorns, the quality of peppercorns in Qinghe County is the best.
Yi San's pepper orchard is so large that it takes dozens of people to pick it.
This is the first time Yi Yang has come to help the second uncle work.
Although his father died young, he left him no small amount of material wealth.
In addition to the two pieces of land on the outskirts of the provincial capital, Yi Yang also has a residential house and a façade in the county seat.
The house, naturally, is where grandma and him live. And that façade also has an income of tens of thousands of yuan every year, which is enough for him and his grandmother to live. It's just that he didn't have a reborn time and space, and after his grandmother died, he continued to make trouble, and the façade was finally lost.
But in any case, the current material conditions of Yiyang are still passable in the county. At least, he didn't have to do hard work.
Therefore, Yiyang has never worked in the field until now.
Zhao Jinhua has been in contact with Yi Yang in the past two days, and most of his bad feelings towards him have disappeared. She is also a simple farmer, and she will not dislike a person for no reason. Yi Yang's performance in the past two days was enough to make her forget some of his stubbornness when she was a child.
About, it's just the naivety of youth, no, it's good to be older. After all, he and his son have a vein of blood.
In the countryside, there is a great deal of emphasis on blood ties.
Picking peppercorns is not like ordinary farm work, and it is often more difficult to persevere.
The first is that you need to pick in the sun. Because the peppercorns are picked, they must be dried immediately, so it is not cloudy. It's July, and it's the hottest weather, and the sun is scorching like a pinprick.
Even more prickly are the thorns of the pepper tree. Sichuan pepper is a pinch that grows on the low pepper tree, and the tree is densely covered with many spikes, and if you are not careful, you will be pricked. And picking pepper needs to open the branches and leaves, a handful of them to break and pick, some positions grow tricky, which increases the difficulty of picking and the probability of being pricked.
And the most disgusting thing is that the fresh peppercorns are full of pepper oil. It didn't take long to pick it, and my hands were covered with oil, and the slippery touch was uncomfortable, and if I was pricked a few times, my hands would be painful and itchy.
It's a very challenging job.
Yi San and Zhao Jinhua commanded those hired people to pick, and Yi Yang and Yi Chuan went to mess around by themselves.
They also don't expect the two children to pick much peppercorns. But it's also great to get them to exercise.
Just picked a few times, Yi Chuan shouted: "Brother, it hurts!" ”
Yi Yang smiled helplessly: "Don't pick it up if it hurts, you can go play nearby for a while." ”
Yi Chuan ran away.
Next, Yi Yang started picking alone.
Thorns, indeed piercing.
day, indeed sunburning.
Soon, sweat flowed down Yi Yang's forehead and face, and flowed down his neck into the short sleeves. He didn't dare to wipe it yet, because there was pepper oil on his hands.
But his basket was soon full.
Yi Yang didn't say a word, and picked himself. The scorching sun didn't affect his progress.
When picking peppercorns, Yi Yang's thoughts also traveled through time and space. He remembered lying on his back under the car, using a wrench to disassemble the machines. Constantly organic oil and dust falling, squinting. The smell of engine oil is always so bad, but it keeps smelling and can't be smelled.
Compared to what he was looking for, he felt happy.
Soon, the peppercorns in the basket were poured into the bamboo basket, basket after basket, and the bamboo basket gradually filled.
The sun had already tanned Yi Yang's face red, his skin was originally pale, but at this time it was red, and his whole temperament gradually transformed.
The face is, the color of the sun.
Zhao Jinhua and Yi San finished their work, came over to call Yi Yang, and were taken aback.
"These ...... You picked it all up? ”
The two of them looked at the bamboo basket in front of Yi Yang and glanced at each other.
Yi Yang smiled shallowly, his hands were sticky with oil.
On the way back, Yi Yang saw a lot more smiles on the faces of his second uncle and aunt. He knows that he has made his relatives unhappy all these years.
For Yi San, Yi Yang is the only son of the eldest brother, and he has the obligation to take care of him until he reaches adulthood. But over the years, the nephew has just been angry, and he has always been in trouble. Not only that, but there is also a mother, who is already very old, but she still has to live with Yi Yang and take care of his daily life.
To his relatives, Yi Yang is like a thorn that is difficult to avoid when picking peppercorns, not fatal, but it always hurts people from time to time, and he must be patient.
At this time, Yi San really felt Yi Yang's transformation, and his heart suddenly opened up.
This year's harvest is very good, and it is a big sun for several days in a row, and the progress of picking peppercorns is also very fast, and Yi San's family is very happy.
Yi Yang was even happier. He knew that if it weren't for the rebirth, the second uncle was busy with his grandmother's funeral at this time, and the whole family was immersed in grief.
The wheel of fate has turned on the bright side.
Pretty good.
When he got home, Yi San passed by his son's room when he put his tools, and he saw the homework book on the table and picked it up casually.
Originally, he didn't bother much about Yi Chuan's studies. But since Yi Yang came to the house this time, his son took the initiative to read and write homework, which made Yi San feel gratified. Picking up his son's homework and looking at it, his smile became even stronger.
Give it a good compliment.
Walking to the hall, Yi San first waved "Summer Vacation Life": "Yes, I have done so much in the past two days. It seems that this year you don't have to make up your homework two days before you register. He took the notebook again: "And this copy of the homework, which is also well written, but it would be better if the handwriting was a little more beautiful." ”
At first, Yi Chuan was still very happy, but gradually showed a confused expression, looked carefully at the homework book in his father's hand, and suddenly shook his head: "Dad, that ugly homework book is not mine." ”
Yi Sanyi was stunned: "Who wrote that?" ”
Yi Yang's expression was extremely embarrassed, and he stood up: "That...... It's mine. ”
Yi Chuan was stunned, and then laughed.
Then, he was beaten by Yi Yang.
