The autumn harvest is approaching, and the college gives the gentlemen and students a field vacation.

Chen Ping, who hadn't seen his parents for a long time, simply packed his bags and set off home in Li Feng's carriage.

After being separated from my parents for many days, I can't help but miss them.

When the carriage arrived at Nanxi Village, Chen Ping was put down.

As soon as he entered the house, he did not rest, but he picked up the sickle on the table, closed the door, and ran into the field.

Chen Duohai and Xiang are working facing the loess, and they can't take care of their families for the time being.

It was only when they saw Chen Ping go down to the ground that they found out that their son had returned home.

Xiang wiped his hand on his shirt, took out a handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and couldn't stop loving his eyes, "I didn't say a word when I came back, why don't you rest at home?" ”

"Where can my son stay at home, and he can finish it sooner if he comes over to help earlier, right?"

A few words were listened to by Zhou who was passing by.

She was carrying a food box and was about to go to the field to deliver food to Chen Duoguang and his son.

Originally, I wanted to come over to show off that my son was by my side, so that I didn't have to go to the field to suffer, but I didn't expect Chen Ping to come back.

failed to do so, how could Zhou be willing, Yin and Yang raised his voice strangely, "It turned out that Chen Ping was back, what?" You're just going to go back to the ground? ”

"Auntie, you know? Looks like the fields aren't busy, huh? ”

Chen Ping didn't bother to talk to her, and made a tepid provocation.

In previous years, after Chen Duohai finished harvesting his field, he took Rhubarb to his uncle's house to help.

It would be great if we could save trouble this year.

When Zhou heard this, his face suddenly drooped.

She ignored Chen Ping, but turned her head to Xiang Shi and said, "You guys are good bullies for me, I have borrowed so much money over the years, and in the end I can't get a good word?" ”

There was a looming cry in his tone, as if he was ready to cry at any moment.

The appearance of a figure made her stop talking.

Chen Duoguang, who has been working in the field for a long time but has never seen Zhou's figure, does not know when he appeared next to Chen Duohai.

He didn't say a word with a black face, and he didn't know when he was there, let alone if he heard what he was saying.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou felt isolated and helpless, and ran away directly with the basket.

"Uncle..."

Chen Ping also noticed Chen Duoguang's appearance, and he just wanted to explain that he didn't mean to help.

But before he could speak, Chen Duoguang waved his hand to stop him.

"I know you're just trying to get her back." Chen Duoguang's voice was a little dull, "She is this kind of character, she can't change it." ”

Chen Ping and Chen Duohai looked at each other, they shouldn't have listened to this.

Chen Duohai wanted to comfort his eldest brother, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Chen Duoguang was not so entangled, he looked at Chen Ping, who he hadn't seen for many days, and then smiled, "It's a lot taller!" I remember that Chen Jun was also so tall in the first two years. ”

"That's right, Chen Jun has set the marriage this year, and you will have a little nephew in two years."

"Then congratulations to Uncle."

Chen Ping's congratulations are indeed sincere, and it is the first time he has seen such a happy uncle.

The smile on Chen Duoguang's face deepened a little, he suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Chen Ping, with expectation in his eyes. "Ping'er, you are the only person in our family who reads, and when the time comes, let you name your child, what do you think?"

"I'm coming?"

No matter how you choose a name again, you are about to become a fortune teller.

Chen Ping's eyes widened, and he said hesitantly: "This, is this okay?" ”

"Of course! Don't look at your young age, but you have a big generation, what's wrong with the elders naming the younger ones? ”

Chen Duoguang ignored the obstruction of the Chen couple and directly agreed with Chen Ping.

After finishing his work in the fields, Chen Ping met his cousin Chen Jun on the way back.

After a few months of wind and sun, he was much darker than he had in his impression, and the two just said hello and were speechless.

Fortunately, Chen Li, the cousin who followed Chen Jun's side, was still there, and she curiously asked Chen Ping how he was doing in the academy.

Chen Pingping said that he studied every day and immersed himself in the sea of books, listened to Mr. Teach, and helped the county do something.

However, the market in the town of Green Pine is really lively.

Looking at Chen Li's curious eyes, Chen Ping painted a scene of the market to her.

Chen Li yearned, and her eyes were shining.

"Let's go, it's too late." Chen Jun dragged Chen Li and urged.

Seeing that the momentum of the two was still wanting to continue chatting, Chen Jun directly interrupted the conversation and left.

Chen Li hesitated a little and ran to follow, but always looked back at Chen Ping.

She bowed her head slightly, and said goodbye to Chen Ping silently with an apologetic face.

When I got home, my mother was busy with housework, and my father was nowhere to go.

Chen Ping leaned against the window with a book, reading through the sunset that had not yet dissipated.

Before the book turned two pages, I heard a scolding sound from the uncle's house next door.

The hysterical loud voice was Zhou's when I heard it.

"It's not for you to finish embroidering these veils today! How did you do this? Still make this paste? I've worked hard to bring silk threads from the city, and that's how you spoiled it?! ”

"Speak! I'll let you talk! ”

"What you cry and cry, you know how to cry! I'm doing this for your good! If you don't practice now, you will marry out in the future to see who cares about you. ”

"I also asked my brother to take you out of the village, how old a person is and so childish, it's a money-loser!"

The clatter of things falling on the ground directly caused Xiang Shi to walk out.

She pulled Chen Ping to look up and down distressedly, and she didn't care what was smashed, and asked with concern, "Did you hurt anything?" ”

"Mother, which one is me."

Chen Pingnunu gestured to look at the next door, and Zhou's scolding was still looming.

Xiang sighed, "But you're teaching Chen Li a lesson again?" It's not like this for a day or two. ”

Half a year ago, Chen Li began to learn about female celebrity.

Zhou's teaching is strict, but fortunately, Chen Li is smart and skillful, and the shops in the town are also willing to accept some handkerchiefs embroidered with small patterns.

But this week's mean nature was not satisfied, but he either beat or scolded her.

It is called ---- spur.

The two were talking about Chen Li, and Chen Duohai walked into the house with a piece of meat.

As he walked, he greeted Xiang with a happy face, and quickly took it to the kitchen to cook.

Xiang Shi turned to leave, and Chen Duohai hurriedly told Chen Ping about the situation at home during this time.

"I've found all the herbs that Dr. Zheng wants, but because there are only a few herbs nearby, it's enough to go to the town twice a month to deliver medicine to Dr. Zheng."

"When I was delivering the medicine, I went to the academy to find you twice, and the porter said that you helped in the county, and my son was really good."

It seems that the time is not right, and it is missed.

Chen Ping said modestly, "Where is it, my son follows the teacher to learn." ”

"That's also a good thing!"

Chen Duohai firmly believes that his son is the best.

"By the way, your mother also took a job in the shop in the town two months ago, embroidered some large items and sent them to sell for money, and the family now has a lot of income. You just study hard, and you don't have to think about anything else. ”

Chen Ping was moved, "The matter of my son's reading has made my father and mother bothered. ”

"What nonsense, follow the teacher seriously, strive to get a reputation back, and remember to bring a message to the family if you lack anything."

Chen Duohai dotingly touched Chen Ping's little head.

After several days of busyness, I finally cleaned up the crops in the field.

Chen Duohai took the grain to the chief's house to pay the grain, leaving Xiang and Chen Ping at home.

Chen Li stood timidly at the door with an embarrassed expression, and should have walked over by herself while Zhou was not at home.

She saw that only Chen Ping was in the courtyard, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito and fly, and she asked solemnly.

"Cousin, is your aunt at home?"

"What are you doing standing outside? Come on in. ”

Chen Ping saw that Chen Li was uncomfortable, and quickly got up and beckoned her in, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He saw Chen Li holding a bamboo basket covered with cloth tightly in his hand, and he also guessed about it.

Without further questioning, he led her into the house.

Xiang was very happy to see Chen Li and warmly beckoned her to sit down.

Before she felt sorry for Chen Li, she taught some embroidery tricks in private.

But Zhou also arranged a lot of chores for Chen Li every day, so she didn't have much leisure time.

Whenever he thought of this, Xiang couldn't help but sigh, but he couldn't do anything.

can only help more in this kind of thing, so every time Chen Li comes, she responds to her needs.

Chen Ping, the mother's embroiderer, has seen it, and showed her latest achievements two days ago, and its exquisite and cumbersome appearance is really not easy.

Chen Ping didn't know much about it, but he remembered that he had heard of the famous double-sided embroidery in his previous life, so he told his mother about it.

At first glance, Xiang thought it was a fantasy, but if she could really successfully embroider it on the screen, it would be very beautiful, and she planned to study it by herself when she had free time.

Inside the house, Chen Li and Xiang had just spoken a few words, and someone came outside.

Chen Ping got up and walked out of the house.

I saw my cousin Chen Jun standing anxiously in the courtyard, looking into the house frequently.

"Chen... Chen Like here? ”

When Chen Jun saw Chen Ping come out, he hurriedly asked with beads of sweat on his nose.

"Yes, is there something wrong with being in such a hurry?"

Chen Jun didn't answer, but shouted into the house, "Chen Li, you have to go back, and it will be over after you pay the grain!" ”

Chen Li's answer was heard in the house, and then the brother and sister trotted home.

Chen Ping was stunned in place, still wondering what the connection between this grain payment and going home was.

Xiang Shi came out and nodded his head, "It's not like you didn't hear Zhou's scolding so hard before, if you let her know that Chen Li came secretly, don't even think about Ansheng tonight." ”

Chen Ping suddenly realized, laughed twice and hurriedly pulled Xiang to be loyal, "It's still a great mother." ”

"Just bluff me!" Xiang scolded with a smile, "This speech is getting more and more amazing, sooner or later, you will be praised by you." ”

Chen Ping pretended to be sad, "What my son said is from the bottom of my heart. ”

made Xiang Shi laugh so much that he couldn't stop laughing.

After the payment of grain, the field leave is almost over.

Before Chen Ping left home, Xiang couldn't wait to let him bring all the things at home, for fear that his son would suffer in the academy.

Chen Duohai complained, "What can't a male baby suffer, why should he be so delicate." ”

Xiang directly chose to ignore it, and put the same thing on the ox cart.

Chen Ping shouted again and again, "Mother, it's enough, it's really enough." If you continue like this, you will have to move your home. ”

After speaking, he pressed the bacon that Chen Duohai wanted to put in the car with one hand, "Why did you keep it at home and bring it to me?" ”

"We still have it, what are you afraid of?"

Chen Ping pointed to the beam of the house and complained, "I'm looking at it, even the rod on which the bacon is hung has been put away, how can there be?" ”

Seeing that it was exposed, Chen Duohai simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, "What do children do with so much?" Stand by and wait, delay me from doing things. ”

Well, it's going to be a child.

I usually tell me that when I am a parent, I don't think I'm a child.

"Okay, you go into the house, I'll come back after sending Ping'er."

Chen Duohai explained to Xiang.

Driving Lao Huangla's car slowly, Chen Ping looked at Nanxi Village that had just passed the autumn harvest.

In the distance, smoke curls from the stove, the morning mist wafts across the river, and the cottages and countryside are clinging to the green peaks, like a fairyland.

Chen Ping smiled, knowing that it was not that the scenery of Nanxi Village had changed, but that his mentality had been completely different.

The last time I left home, my parents were still worried about Chen Ping's academic expenses.

Now not only Chen Ping has a rough plan for his future, but even his parents have found a way to make a living.

Although he can't make a lot of money for the time being, the family's confidence is much more abundant than before.

Just like the clouds are clearing, everything is developing in a better direction.

That's enough!

On the way back to the academy, Lao Huang's strong back rose and fell in his vision, and his father's strong arm muscles kept shaking.

Chen Ping could clearly feel that he was doing his best to make the ox cart less bumpy.

Shaking and shaking, I slowly fell asleep.

Chen Duohai turned his head to look at his sleeping son, and the loving smile on his face became thicker.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly put a piece of clothing on Chen Ping's body.
