With a "click", the large watermelon split in half.

The red juice flowed out of You Li's hand, You Li's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "It's so sweet, this big watermelon." ”

In the past, I used to buy watermelons directly outside, but this time it was different, and I sat directly on the ridge and ate freshly picked melons. Even the melon skin has an earthy fragrance. You Li and Shen Yanzhi finished a big watermelon like this.

It's time to get to work, You Li ran into the field, pointed to one of the largest watermelons, and said; "Brother Yanyan, let's pick this two, this one is big, it must be delicious." Shen Yanzhi smiled, he wanted to tell You Li whether the watermelon is sweet or not depends on the size, but according to the current excitement, he will definitely not be able to listen to his explanation, so she will go.

After dinner, my grandfather took a ladder to the eaves, and You Li asked curiously, "Grandpa, why do you put a ladder here?" ”

"Because the roof is comfortable in summer, put a ladder here and you can climb up and blow the mountain breeze." Grandpa stroked You Li's little head and whispered.

As soon as You Li heard that she could climb to the roof to play, this was an experience that she had never had at home before, so she ran into the house anxiously and took Shen Yanzhi's hand and ran out, "Brother Yanyan, grandpa set up a ladder outside, saying that you can climb up to the roof, let's go up and play together." ”

Shen Yanzhi watched You Li climb up the ladder with both hands and feet, and held the ladder with his hands uneasily, "Lili, you climb slowly, if you fall, it will hurt you." You Li turned around and stuck out her tongue slightly and said playfully: "Isn't this you, can you still let me fall?" ”

On the roof, the two of them lay flat together, and the breeze blew, bringing a comfortable coolness to You Li.

"Lili, I asked you to recognize the Big Dipper, you see that the seven stars over there are connected together like spoon handles, the Big Dipper appears in different places in the sky at different times in different seasons and nights, so the ancients decided the season according to the direction pointed by the bucket handle at the beginning and dusk." Shen Yanzhi pointed to the bright stars in the sky and explained.

"Wow, the ancients were really wise, but Brother Yan can't point to the moon, otherwise he will be 'cut' at night." You Li said the knowledge that Fang Lan told him when he was a child, and by the way, he pulled Shen Yanzhi's hand down from mid-air.

"It doesn't matter, the moon will only 'cut' the ears of disobedient children." Shen Yanzhi replied amusedly, and continued: "You look forward along the two stars at the front of the spoon handle, and you see one that is about as bright as the Big Dipper, and that is the North Star. That being said, this time Shen Yanzhi didn't use his finger again.

You Li fell asleep with a cool breeze blowing on the roof, and was finally carried down by Shen Yanzhi.

He looked at You Li's quiet sleeping face, stretched out two fingers and gently pinched her nose, and said in a soft and gentle tone, "Good night, little lazy pig." ”

Fang Lan and Lan Jiali thought about getting up early today and helping to harvest rice in the field, maybe the sound of cleaning up was too loud, waking You Li up from her sleep, she opened her eyes worriedly, watched the adults in the family go in and out, and asked curiously: "Mom, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'll go to the field with your godmother to help my grandmother cut rice, my grandmother is too old to let her be too tired, if you don't wake up, go back to the house and continue to sleep for a while." Fang Lan was holding a sickle in her hand and was putting on her shoes with her head down.

"Mom, I want to go too." When You Li heard that she was going to cut rice, she was curious, and she also wanted to join in the fun. Fang Lan felt that this was also a good experience for the child, so she agreed, "Then I'll go with my godmother first, otherwise the sun will come out and the work will be hot, so you can pack up and let your grandfather take you there." ”

"Good. After saying that, You Li ran back to the room, took out her short-sleeved shorts and put them on, and asked Shen Yanzhi, who was on the side, to clean up quickly, so that he could go to the field early.

The two followed behind their grandfather and strode forward, and in the distance, they could already see Fang Lan and their figures bending over to work.

The whole field is full of yellow ears of wheat, and the breeze blows, stroking the layers of wheat waves. Because the whole sky was still bright because of the early arrival, Shen Yanzhi enjoyed this comfortable time very much, he looked at the lively You Li on the side, and inexplicably hoped to go on like this with her, so he took her white and tender little hand. You Li didn't feel strange to hold hands suddenly, and replied with a bright smile to Shen Yanzhi.

As soon as You Li arrived, she couldn't wait to take the sickle on the side, imitate Fang Lan's movements, and began to cut the rice as soon as she pulled it, but how was this different from what she imagined, the rice didn't move at all, but the full ears of wheat on it swayed back and forth slightly with You Li's movements. You Li didn't believe it, and cut it again, and the result was the same as just now, and she stood aside in frustration.

Shen Yanzhi walked to her side, took the sickle in his hand, bent down and said to You Li: "Look, first of all, you have to hold the stem of the rice, which is about half of the whole straw, and then use the blade of the sickle to the bottom of the rod, and you can cut it off with a pull of your hand, you can try it." ”

"Wow, Brother Yanyan, you are so powerful, you can see it, let me try it." After speaking, You Li took the sickle and tried it according to the method taught by Shen Yanzhi, and it really succeeded, and said in surprise: "Ah, it's really cut off, it's amazing." ”

Shen Yanzhi was afraid that You Li would cut his hand, so he took the sickle himself, and let You Li hold the straw, the two of them cooperated tacitly, time passed imperceptibly with the labor, and the sun slowly climbed out of the clouds, Fang Lan was afraid that the children would not be able to stand it, so they asked the two of them to go back to breakfast in advance, "Yanyan, you take Lili home first, and we will go back after finishing this." ”

On the way home, You Li saw a pear tree, she swallowed her saliva after not drinking water in the morning, took Shen Yanzhi's hand and didn't leave, a bold idea sprouted from her heart, "Brother Yanyan, are you thirsty?" Or us? ”

Shen Yanzhi lightly flicked on You Li's head, and said helplessly: "No, it's not right to take this kind of behavior without the master's consent." ”

"Okay." Yuri replied in frustration.

"Let's go faster, and when we get home, we'll be able to drink water." Shen Yanzhi led You Li and walked quickly home.

After breakfast, the next door neighbor's child invited You Li to go to the creek to play in the afternoon.

After asking Fang Lan's consent, You Li followed Shen Yanzhi to the appointment in the afternoon. There was already a group of children fighting in the stream, You Li couldn't wait to take off her shoes and wade into the stream barefoot, "Brother Yanyan, you see there are still small fish in here, they are wandering around my feet, it's so itchy." Yuri laughed out loud at the itching 'haha'.

A group of children frolic in the clear water, splashing water on each other.

The sun was shining on the water, and You Li's white and tender feet were in the water, and she had a bad idea in her heart when she saw Shen Yanzhi standing aside.

Although Shen Yanzhi also came, he just came over to look at You Li, just in case something happened and did not go into the water, just when Shen Yanzhi stared at the water surface and was distracted, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and it turned out that You Li, who was in the water, threw himself with the water in his hand.

He smiled dotingly and said, "Lili, you're too naughty, you started first, don't blame me." As he spoke, he took off his shoes and set them aside. The moment he entered the water, Shen Yanzhi was shocked, it turned out that the water was so comfortable.

The two of you came and went, and soon the clothes were soaked, and they were slimy on their bodies, Shen Yanzhi couldn't stand this feeling, so he asked: "Lili, I want to go home and change clothes, do you want to be together?" ”

"No, I want to play more." Yuri refused.

Shen Yanzhi confirmed that there was nothing here that could hurt You Li, so he said, "Okay, I'll be back soon, don't walk around." ”

Just after Shen Yanzhi left, the child who invited You Li to come over to play in the morning came to his side and took the initiative to say: "Remember me, I am Jiang Jiang, I live next door to your house, and I still asked you to come out to play in the morning?" ”

"Remember, I'm You Li, you can call me Lili as well," You Li smiled sweetly back.

"Do you know there's a pear tree in the back, the pears are so sweet, we pick them every time we finish playing here, do you want to go with us?" Jiang will continue to ask.

This caused You Li to think deeply, Shen Yanzhi said that he would wait for him to come back here obediently, but the temptation of pears is also very great, it should be the pear he wants to eat in the morning.

Seeing You Li's hesitation, Jiang Jiang grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, so many of us will go to pick it together, and it will be fine." ”

In a moment, You Li was persuaded and followed the gang to the pear grove. As she expected, the big guy came to the same place she passed by in the morning.

As far as the eye can see, a large piece of ripe pears hangs on the branches, each full as a pearl, and the temptation is extreme, as if beckoning to You Li and saying, "Come on, come and eat me." ”

You Li saw that everyone began to pick, so he picked one without any scruples, wiped it on his sleeve, and didn't care about taking a bite of it without washing, and instantly the excess pear juice flowed down the palm of his hand, and the fragrance of the pear itself emanated in the taste buds. Two or three bites of You Li solved one.

"Pears and pears, it's delicious." Jiang Jiang asked in You Li's ear.

"Mmmm, it's really sweet, but wouldn't it be bad for us to eat it directly like this?" Yu Li asked worriedly.

"It's okay, this pear was planted by Grandpa Li in the village, Grandpa Li is a good person, he allowed us to pick and eat, and he also knows that we little guys will come in the evening, so usually if that family makes something delicious, they will send some to Grandpa Li." Jiang Jiang explained.

After listening to the explanation, You Li picked two of them, and she wanted to bring them back to Shen Yanzhi to taste.

"Jiang Jiang, I'll go back first, my brother should be about to pass, if he doesn't see me by the stream, he will be worried." Yuri waved goodbye and ran back to the stream alone.

As soon as Shen Yanzhi arrived, he found that there was no one by the stream, and when he was in a hurry, he saw You Li running from a distance, and angrily said to her: "It's not that you don't want to run around, and whether you picked pears, you know that your behavior is stealing." ”

"Brother Yanyan, no..."You Li explained anxiously, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Shen Yanzhi, "Needless to say, go home first, and I will accompany you to send the money to the family that grows pears later." ”
