Because there was too much rice recovered, there was no place to dry it for a while. Dad decided not to go to the field this morning to harvest the rice, but to dry the recovered rice and harvest it in the barn.

Lin Haimei saw that it was rare to have this opportunity, and she wanted to go to the pine forest to pick September yellow. This mushroom is used to cook soup, and the taste is unique.

When the mountains first woke up, the milky white cloud veil floated on the mountainside, like a fairy dancing like a fairy.

The white clouds float in the blue sky, quietly watching the dance of the fog veil.

Lin Haimei went to the weeds first, "Cow feces fungus, bacteria on cow dung." I shouldn't be able to eat it, let you fend for yourselves", she frowned slightly, and muttered to herself. Because my mother said that I would rather pick less mushrooms, and it is definitely not good to pick them.

Lin Haimei held a thick branch in her hand and kept turning over the dead grass. She expects a miracle, but she is afraid that it will be a lazy snake coiled. With a thick branch in hand, at least it can scare the lazy snake. Thinking of this, she became emboldened a lot, and continued to search.

A wild bird "fluttered" and flew up from the thatch, which frightened Lin Haimei and stepped on the silk grass. One staggered, and she sat on the ground. As far as the eye could see, I saw a clump of longitudinal mushrooms crowding happily.

Lin Haimei felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, "The fragrant noodles are here."

This original and delicious juice dares to be called the best in the world. The fresh fragrance that comes with it can't be compared to any condiment.

The large fungus that grows like an oil-paper umbrella stretches out its crispy white flesh with a dark gray surface and a raised umbrella top in the middle. The slightly smaller ones have a light gray surface and the handle is artificially adducted. Smaller, like an umbrella that has never been opened.

Lin Haimei carefully uprooted the mountain mushrooms one by one and gently placed them in the basket. After putting it away, cover it with a layer of pine needles to prevent the mountain mushrooms from squeezing out.

The morning sun came as promised, sprinkled on the treetops, and fell into the woodland under the trees, and the whole pine forest became clear. From time to time, there was a "snapping" sound in the bushes, I don't know if it was the sound of a rattlesnake or a bullfrog.

Lin Haimei was afraid of these two species, and she carefully avoided the bushes. Find some woodland with weeds and carefully search for September incense. September incense generally grows in the clearing around the pine trees.

The joyful chirping of birds and the beautiful feathers stretching in the sun. The three or two of them laughed and chased after each other, not knowing whether to grab insects or compete for mates. They streaked across beams of sunlight and dropped their colorful feathers to the ground.

The birds' cappella echoes in the emptiness of the mountains. The mountains are wide and the forests are deep. The trees are far away.

Lin Haimei grew up in such a landscape. So her heart is soft, but it is full of the breadth of the mountains. Her tenacity is also related to the thickness of the mountains.

There is no shadow in the depths of the pool.

Lin Haimei was in the pine forest, and it was the same, she couldn't see her shadow. Because the forest is dense and foliage, the leaky sunlight becomes a thin and oblique beam.

In order to find September Yellow, Lin Haimei once again floated in the deep sea of the forest. In a forest densely populated with pine needles, she saw the long-awaited September yellow. They are sticking out their yellow heads to explore this new world. It's just that the mountains are high and the forests are lush, and they are feeling that they will never come out, when a girl's surprised voice makes them see hope, "Wow! What a beautiful September yellow! I've finally found you."

September Huang hopes that Lin Haimei will take them out of the mountains, and they also want to see the new world beyond the mountains.

September Huang's feet kept kicking out, and Lin Haimei's fingers digging for fungi kept moving towards the mycorrhizae.

The cooperation between you and me was reached quickly, Lin Haimei gently mentioned it with her hand, and a September yellow was smiling brightly at Lin Haimei, "Girl, don't dig up quickly, we all want to go with you"!

Lin Haimei knelt down on her knees and carefully dug out all the September Yellow. The basket has been loaded to the point. She picked a few paulownia leaves nearby and planted them around the basket, no matter how naughty September Huang wanted to see the outside world, he couldn't jump out of the basket.

She walked out of the pine forest, and the mountains were silent, with the occasional bird's voice. She is getting farther and farther away from the pine forest, but she has the wonderful sound of "hearing the dark flute in the distant forest".

When Lin Haimei arrived home, it was almost noon. Dad, eldest brother, and second brother are surrounding the corn pile, using Jiefang brand rubber soles to shuttle corn seeds. Mother was using scissors to shuttle the road, a large pile of cobs that had been shuttled to two rows of corn, piled up in the open space in the hall.

Dad and the three of them each held it over again, and finished it with the gears of the rubber sole.

"Erya, have you found a place with bacteria", my mother asked Lin Haimei while shuttling the corn trough.

"Found it, but not much. Look, that's all", Lin Haimei held the basket to show everyone.

"It's okay, so much. Be a man, don't be greedy! Dad's words were instructive, but not a hint of reprimand.

"Second sister, hurry up and bring it over and soak it in water, and wait for the soup to be boiled and drunk", Shiqin shouted in the kitchen.

Lin Haimei took out the September yellow, put it in a basin and soaked it in water, and put a spoonful or two of salt. She took out all the longitudinal bacteria in the basket and placed them a little higher, sparsely flat.

Every time I cook two of the noodles, it tastes really beautiful.

"Sister, I'll stir-fry", Lin Haimei rolled up her sleeves and walked back and forth between the stoves.

"Second sister, the fire is coming"! Lin Haimei understood that her sister was telling her to hurry up and fry the fat pot meat.

The fat pot meat has been cut and stacked evenly on the plate. The thickness of the knife is consistent, which shows that Lin Shiqin has made a lot of food.

Practice makes perfect, and it can be applied in any industry.

The bottom of the pot is red.

Lin Haimei poured a little vegetable oil to moisten the pot, after the oil smoked, then put in the ginger slices, the garlic was slightly fried, and after pouring the fat pot meat and stir-frying the oil, then pour some soy sauce to color. Then add homemade bean paste and stir-fry to taste, and finally pour in shredded sour ginger and sour red pepper and stir-fry. Sprinkle with fresh garlic sprouts and stir-fry on a plate.

This dish was my mother's specialty, but after the sisters learned the essence, my mother never went to the stove again. Unless the sisters are not at home.

Because it is very tiring to build millet, everyone needs to replenish energy. Today's lunch menu is very rich.

Freshly slaughtered chicken was stewed in the antimony pot, and the rich aroma wafted out of the kitchen, and the people who shuttled the corn kept snorting. Then the corn shuttles faster and faster.

Lin Haimei fried another chili pork slice. A sautéed potato flour. One stir-fried tip and one egg stir-fried bitter gourd. A cold preserved egg.

The last consommé, September fragrant.

"It's time to eat! Today's noon dishes are rich, calling the eight immortals to cross the sea, each showing their magical powers", Lin Haimei greeted everyone loudly.

Six dishes plus a chicken broth and a September fragrant consommé.

The abundance of dishes will whet your appetite. Several people put down the corn in their hands, washed their hands, and sat around the table.

Dad poured two taels of white wine. This is Dad's habit, no matter how hearty the dish, only drink two taels. If you don't drink it in the morning, you must drink it at noon and in the evening.

After taking a sip of wine, Dad closed his lips slightly, enjoying the mellow and spicy taste brought to him by the liquor. Then pick up your favorite chicken and chew it slowly. The aroma of chicken wafted out of his mouth with the sound of Dad biting into the chicken bones.

Because the meat on the chicken bones is difficult to bite off, it is too fragrant and reluctant to throw it away, so use your teeth to pull on the bones, even if the meat is torn, the fragrance of the bones will be sucked a few times, and then reluctantly put the chicken bones on the table, or throw them to the rhubarb wandering around under the table.

"This meat is also delicious", Dad chewed the aftertaste of the fat pot meat again, and the fragrant fat covered his thin lips.

In Lin Haimei's memory, her father has always been synonymous with greatness.

Height, 1.85 meters. Wherever he was, his waist was straight as loose.

Walking, sonorous and powerful, without reluctant to look back. He doesn't make a decision easily, and if he does, he is full of execution.

Rigorous, whether it is doing business or planting crops, always record the expenses in a notebook. Important things are written down in a notebook.

Talk little, don't gossip about neighbors, don't play right and wrong, and reverse black and white.

Gentle, he never reached out to beat and scold his children for no reason. Even if the children are naughty, he will glare at you a few times with stern eyes at most. Then, in a thick, slow tone, from his thin lips, to your disobedient ear, and with a deep memory.

Wallets are abundant. On the belt around his father's waist, he always had a bulging wallet. Every time I pay for school fees, I must first convey it through my mother's mouth, no matter how much, it will never fail.

There is love.

For as long as Lin Haimei can remember, she has never been hungry. The hardest time is the boiled sweet potato fries every night, but there is no limit, and you can eat as much as you want.

When I was a child, every child celebrated their birthday, and a boiled egg was boiled, which meant that the year would be over. Mother will bring you a bowl of noodles that will be on the horizon, which means that the year will be smooth and smooth.

Every time I go home, it's either fruit candy, crispy plums, and sweet pears.

Do not give up on every child, whether it is physical or mental, the father always uses practical actions to plan every important point of the child's life.

Determination. Thin, tightly closed lips, always revealing fortitude. I never heard my father scold me and give up complaining. But he would sit on the stone bar by the dam, silently wrap it in Han smoke, stuff it into the mouthpiece, and the thick smoke gushed out of his mouth. Perhaps, troubles have slipped away from the smoke as well.

"Europe's nuclear scientist, Tim Berners Lee, built the world's first website: the World Wide Web," Yirong, a teacher, said with some excitement. His words also attracted Lin Haimei's attention.

"Big brother, is it built on a computer"? Lin Haimei had seen a computer at school, a behemoth like a TV, standing in the school's computer room. Lin Haimei saw it from the window.

My father, who was drunk on drinking, said, "All kinds of nets, just like we plant crops, always have to sow."

My father graduated from junior high school and worked as a brigade accountant when he was young. The words are well written. At present, he is engaged in a coal business in the township, and only comes back to help when the farm is busy.

"Dad's words are very ordinary and philosophical. The World Wide Web established by Li is to sow a seed of forward development for the world", Lin Haimei thought of this and sandwiched a piece of fat chicken thigh meat for her father, "Dad, have a vision"!

Dad's little eyes narrowed with a smile, and his yellowed teeth were also happy, "I used to develop a habit in the brigade and like to read newspapers." ”

"There's also a hot news that we like," Yirong said, selling Guan Zi, drinking hot chicken soup.

"Big brother, say it quickly", Lin Haimei couldn't wait and leaned her head towards Yirong.

"Boss, say it quickly, say it quickly", the second brother Erhua also stretched his neck, his mouth open oilily.

"Hong Kong rock band Beyond held its first large-scale concert at the Red Square Stadium. The unprecedented scene must be spectacular", Yi Rong, who loves music but teaches chemistry, imagines painting cakes for his younger siblings, because he also reads it from the newspaper.

"Eat and eat, talk less", my mother is illiterate and does not understand these. She kept beckoning everyone to eat vegetables, for fear that one would eat less. Because my mother's mantra is, "Eat it, make it." I don't even do two taels of dry food, what kind of work do I do"!

Therefore, the mother's children are all strong and tall. Except for Shiqin, which has not yet grown, she is a little short.

After lunch, there is a fixed lunch break for everyone, no matter how busy you are, you have to sleep for a while.

The TV also shut up. The pigs also burped and stretched their limbs. The surroundings of the small building were quiet, except for the occasional barking of dogs.

There is also the sound of a hen laying eggs, announcing good tidings to her master. They are always singing along the street with a leisurely, general-like pace. The necks stretched and contracted, the sharp beaks foraging, and the claws digging for food, they are the busiest laborers in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, the sun is in the west, and the real hustle and bustle begins again.

Dad and Yirong go digging a ditch. Erhua went to dig up the sweet potato field, vacated the land, and planted a bowl of beans. Because the whole family likes to eat beans. The area should be planted wider, and the land is sandy, which is suitable for planting bowl beans.

Mother and Haimei, Shiqin, mother and daughter want to collect the rice that has been dried on the barn dam.

"I'll come to the car, Erya, you are responsible for pouring the grain into the windmill", the mother's hand turning the windmill is not fast or slow, and the Haimei sisters can't control the heat of the hand. Inside the windmill, the millet that originally rose to the top slowly flattened, and then leaked into an inner vortex, and the millet continued to slide out of the windmill outlet and was contained in the basket.

As the sun slowly moved to the top of the mountain to the west, the heat of the sun was much lessened, and the temperature was lowered. Lin Haimei no longer has to wipe sweat with one hand and shovel grain with the other. Her somewhat irritated heart calmed down.

The sunset at dusk is always beautiful and charming. The sky is a colorist. The glow that was still drunk red just now hung on the top of the mountain, and in an instant, it turned into a colorful sky sprinkled all over the sky. or dark blue, or light yellow, or light purple, or dark green, or blue and white, or purple and pink.

"Second sister, today's sunset is so beautiful"! Shiqin swept the rice and turned her head to Lin Haimei and said.

What she didn't know was that Lin Haimei had her back to her, and her eyes had been watching the sunset for a long time.

"Come on, no more", my mother turned the windmill handle with her right hand, and fished with her left hand to see if the grain was clean.

Her mother's shout alarmed Lin Haimei, who turned around and picked up the rice that Shiqin had already filled and poured it into the windmill.

The handlebars of the windmill kept spinning in Mom's hands. Swirling Mom's graying hair, Daddy's deepening wrinkles. also rotates Lin Haimei's flying youth, and everyone's different dreams.

The empty baskets of Sheng Gu were filled, and the baskets full of rice shimmered with golden light in the afterglow.

On a midsummer night, the mountain breeze blows, and birds are looking for nests. The stars twinkled, and the moon was like a silver platter.

Lin Haimei and Erhua, Shiqin lay in the bamboo plaque to enjoy the shade. Each person holds a fan in his hand, not a fan, and uses it to fight mosquitoes.

Yi Rong lay on the blue bamboo board, and the weight of one hundred and eight pounds made the bamboo board gurgle.

Dad was still half-lying on the blue bamboo chair, and the soft back of the chair made a soft friction sound as Dad got up.

Dad took out his pipe and laid it on the ground as usual, making two or three crisp bangs. He took out the tobacco leaves cut from the plastic bag, took out a section, straightened the tobacco leaves, and rolled them up again, and a homemade cigarette roll was ready.

In the moonlight, the cigarette sparks flickered and dimmed. Reflecting my father's slightly closed eyes and his tired face.

When the smoke was urgent, Dad's cough started again. The empty "choking" sound, as if Dad's chest was empty. This sounds very uncomfortable to Lin Haimei.

She wanted to pound her father's back immediately to relieve the choking of the smoke. But she knew that her father would not let her do it, and he always said, "It's okay, just choke for a while."

"You! If you can't smoke it, smoke less! I have an old cough, and I don't taboo my mouth", the mother who was sitting next to her father spoke.

Dad turned his head to look at Mom, reluctantly straightened up, bent down, and extinguished the fireworks on the ground. He put half of the cigarette in a plastic bag.

Lin Haimei thought that her father would definitely carry her mother behind her back and finish this half of the cigarette.

At this time, Yi Rong, who was lying on the cool board, straightened his upper body and sat up, "Second sister, it's been a long time since the college entrance examination admission line came out this year. If you didn't get in, I didn't say it."

"What are your plans"? Yi Rong saw that Haimei did not respond, and continued to ask.

"I don't know, it's okay to work part-time. I heard that I am going to work in Guangdong now, three or four hundred a month! When I come back from a year's work, I have to save a few thousand dollars! Lin Haimei's answer was filled with infinite excitement, as if she was about to become a rich person.

"Long hair, short knowledge", Dad sat in his chair and threw out a sentence.

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, my father continued, "In seven or eight years, the package production was delivered to households, and then in the reform and opening up proposed by Deng Gong in eight or four years, only a few years, China has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"Well, that's right, our life is getting better and better", Erhua has been farming for several years and has a deep experience.

"Since reform and opening up, we must have knowledge. In today's era, the more books you read, the better", Yi Rong is a teacher, and he is exposed to a bigger world.

"Especially Erhua and Shiqin, they can't rush to study", Dad stopped and coughed up a mouthful of old phlegm in his throat.

"Don't blame me for reading too many books in the future," Dad stressed again.

Shiqin only read the first year of junior high school, and Erhua only read the first year of high school. It's all something I don't want to read. It's not that the family has no money, Haimei is in high school, and her father paid 1,200 yuan in interest!

"Dad, I know, I don't blame you," Erhua sat up.

"I don't blame you either", Shiqin was still lying in the bamboo plaque, her eyes looking at the sky. Although sometimes she feels that doing farm work is too tiring, she does not complain because it is her choice.

Dad saw that the two of them expressed their attitudes, so he said, "Erya, you are also going to work and prepare for the night exam." Only later will there be a profit".

"When it's time to read, read more. Knowledge can change fate", Dad's words were loud, and no one objected.

"Second sister, do you understand? No opinion", Yirong asked Haimei loudly.

"Gotta get"! Haimei replied loudly. She is very happy in her heart, she has books to read and a future, which is a great joy for Lin Haimei. But she couldn't show it too much, for fear that Erhua and Shiqin would be uncomfortable.

"Then I'll help my second sister buy the books back and prepare for the night recruitment exam in October," Yirong said to his father.

"Okay, ask me specifically what to prepare," Dad replied to Yirong.

"That's it. Let's go to bed early, and tomorrow morning we will go to the paddy field to harvest the grain," Dad got up as he spoke, and Mom sat up after him, and walked towards the house.

Under the moonlight, Dad's back grew taller and taller, and Mom followed behind Dad, silently supporting Dad's every decision.
