"Grandpa, grandpa! Look how much wheat I've picked up! Not a single one was lost! The youngest child threw himself into his grandfather's arms, the sweat on his face carried away in the wind with a bright laugh, and lifted the basket high with his little arms as if he were offering a treasure.

"Good! Good! Good boy! The grandfather squatted down, took the basket from the child's hand dotingly, and rubbed his chin full of stubble on the child's immature face affectionately, causing the child to be angry for a while.

It's a pity that grandpa can't enjoy such a family pleasure for long! Because he has more to do.

After a very brief moment of intimacy, the grandfather handed the meal in his burden to the older child, and took up the burden of the full ears of wheat that the child had just laid down.

"Eat more, just eat the soup, don't choke! It's not enough to have it at home, so I'll pick some more! The grandfather who carried the ears of wheat turned his head and instructed again.

"Hey! Master, walk slowly on the road! The boy said yes and said to his grandfather.

"Knowing Lak! Eat more Lak! The grandfather agreed, and then carried a heavy burden on his right shoulder, a small basket with ears of wheat on his shoulder, and a rough left hand stroked the top of each child's head, and then strode in the direction of home.

The couple, who were in the prime of life, were still in the fields and did not go to rest and eat with the children. Seeing that the child had arrived in his grandfather's arms, he immediately bent down again and cut the wheat again.

They need to cut enough wheat before the children finish their meals, so that when they are eating, the children can come and clean up the wheat they have cut, thus saving half the time they spend eating!

Waiting for the grandmother at home has taken advantage of the grandfather to go out to feed the poultry at home, and is busy with the dinner of her children and grandchildren, the grandfather who is carrying the burden home has just entered the door, and the second elder hurriedly poured out the ears of rice.

"This year's harvest is good! The south slope alone is already full of four picks! While helping to unload the ears of rice, Grandma rubbed Grandpa's shoulder and said, "Old man, I'm tired." ”

"Well, God appreciates the rice, the harvest is good!" Grandpa also hammered his own sore shoulder, does it hurt? Hurt! But the grandfather didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "But it's still the king's grace!" More than half of this place is ours! Eighty or ninety percent of the land to the north of Ming'er belongs to our family. Tired! ”

Hearing grandpa's words, the corners of grandma's eyes also bloomed, and the folds left by the years on her face seemed to dissipate a lot in laughter: "Go back and sell the grain, and buy good clothes for our granddaughter!" Then buy a pair of shoes for the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson is older, and running around is the most expensive shoes. ”

Grandma chattered and said: "There is also a little grandson, who wants to eat caramel candy, and when the grain is sold, remember to go to the market to give my good grandson two taels!" Don't fight too much, the candy seller is used to knocking half a tael more, don't do it! It's not good to eat too much sugar. ”

"All that weird thing to say, there's nothing bad about sugar!" Grandpa spread out the ears of rice while replying to his grandmother's words: "This year, there are more than ten acres of land in the family, and the harvest is good. Fight more, let your grandchildren eat enough, and have a good year! ”

Grandma was immediately unhappy when she heard this: "It's not next year!" I have to save some money and food for my eldest grandson to marry a daughter-in-law! And the granddaughter's dowry! Open to eat, the county lord doesn't dare to be such a loser! ”

Grandpa listened to grandma's words, and obviously felt the anger in it, so he had to spread the ears of rice by himself, and didn't dare to interject again.

Seeing that the victory had been achieved, the grandmother did not rush to kill them all, but said warmly: "If the price of grain is good, then give two taels more, give everyone in the family a taste, and have a sweet year!" ”

"That's a good idea!" When grandpa heard this, his heart immediately blossomed, and he immediately smiled brightly at grandma.

"Dead old man!" Seeing the grandfather who kicked his nose and face, the grandmother immediately put on the posture of the housemother and said: "It's good for me to come here, you quickly change the picker back, and then hit some sweet well water, the well water quenches your thirst, don't let the babies get tired!" ”

"Hello! Here it goes! When the honest grandfather heard this, he immediately picked up the empty pick, took off the two empty gourds and put them in, and then went out. The swaying burden is full of joy and hope for the future life.

Xu is burden is much lighter, only two gourds filled with water, the old man is naturally much easier to pick, of course, or maybe because of the comfortable mood, three steps and two steps, the old man came to the shade of the field again.

A few children had already gobbled up their meals, and the older ones were taking their younger brothers to rest in the shade of the trees, and the heavy physical work had exhausted their energy, except for the youngest child, who was picking ears of wheat, who was climbing up and down the trees and having fun because of his small workload.

The old man, who was not surprised, plucked the little urchin from the treetops.

The naughty boy who was suddenly disturbed was about to shout, but when he turned his head to see the face of his grandfather, he immediately shouted and turned into a coquette: "Grandpa! Grandpa, you're here! ”

Obviously, because of the matter of going up the tree, the urchin looked a little embarrassed, after all, it was forbidden by his father and mother. But fortunately, it was grandpa who caught him!

As he spoke, his little head snuggled up to his grandfather's chest as if he were flattering.

When several older children heard the child's call, they also turned their heads, stood up, and shouted, "Grandpa! ”

Grandpa also agreed with a smile on his face.

Without waiting for the old man to give the next step, the eldest child in the grade took the initiative to say to his grandfather: "Let's go and call Daddy and Grandma back." ”

As he spoke, he took the burden that his grandfather had put down, took out the water hyacinth and the small basket, and then ran to the field with his younger siblings. And the little cub in the grandfather's hand, seeing that his brothers and sisters were far away, was suddenly unhappy. He struggled hand and foot to get off the ground and follow his brother and sister.

The old man had no choice but to let him go.

As soon as the little devil's head landed, he jumped up and took his small basket, spread the girl and ran to his brother and sister, shouting: "Brother, sister, wait for me!" ”

The children in the lead heard the sound, and when they looked back, they saw that although a pair of small short legs were trying their best to accelerate, they were trapped in the soft field, and they could not run fast, and several people were not in a hurry, so they waited in place.

After a while, a dirty little hand was handed to his brother, and his little face was raised and he looked at his brother expectantly. What can I do as an elder brother, fortunately, the pick is not heavy, and then I stretched out my left hand, which was also blackened, and held the little dirty hand in it. The naughty boy's face instantly showed a smile of victory, and he waved his brother's hand, and went to find Daddy and Grandma together.

Some people died, but not completely......
