Cutting sorghum is not a difficult job, but it is not easy, because it is walking in the corn, covering the sun overhead, and it is quite cool, but the leaves of those corn have drawn several paths on He Zao's face, itching and hurting, on the ground, there are some reptiles from time to time quickly running by, it has just rained, He Zao even saw two toads jumping over her instep.

She was so agitated that she almost didn't scream.

Fortunately, she has a lot of scorpions, and her nerves are rough enough now.

But there are also very interesting places, for example, in a short period of time, He Zao has found three sorghum black rice and corn black rice, in Wuxian Town, they call it "black plum seeds", or "black mold seeds", because the black color and shape, really like mold, but He Zao prefers to use "plum" to call it, can add some beauty.

The black plum seeds are not in good shape, but when you go back, you can fry them with chili peppers or green onions, and they taste very good.

He had not eaten black plum seeds for many years, so he couldn't help but be interested, and he didn't care about cutting sorghum, but walked around the field to find black plum seeds.

After looking for a while, she heard Sibao calling her name, she hurriedly followed the sound to the ground, but found that He Chun'er, Qibao and Forsythia were sitting on the ground covered with grass, holding a long string of Mapo melons in their hands, the scientific name is "hanging melon", which looks very much like a melon, but it is only the size of a thumb, oval, and the color is green with a slight yellow, which is a sign of maturity.

Sibao walked barefoot with a bunch of leafy red persimmons, apparently he had just climbed down from the persimmon tree.

"Morning, give you persimmons to eat."

He smiled and handed He Zao a big persimmon that was so red that it seemed to be about to break the skin.

This piece of persimmon is just an ordinary variety, but it is sweet enough, He Zao teares off the skin a little clumsily, sucks the red juice clean, and then spits out four seeds.

Shippo doesn't know how to eat like her, and her face and hands are covered with persimmon juice.

The Four Treasures all burst out laughing.

He Zao wiped his hands with the leaves of the persimmon, rolled his eyes angrily, and couldn't wait to pull a mapo fruit to eat, because he had just eaten a very sweet persimmon, this mapo was a little sour in his mouth, but those tiny seeds could not be eaten, because it would be very bitter after biting.

He Chun'er chose a few big and yellow mapper fruits and put them in the basket: "Wait until I go back and give them to our mother." ”

Qibao blinked his eyes wide, hurriedly swallowed the persimmons in his mouth, and also chose two large persimmons, and proudly announced: "I will also go back and bring my mother to eat." ”

He Zao and Sibao smiled.

He Xia'er seemed to hear the movement here, got out of the ground and took a look, and smiled: "You guys are hiding here and being lazy." ”

Probably because Ma was not in front of her, He Xia'er finally looked a little in line with her age at this time.

She walked over and grabbed a large handful of wild sour dates from the basket: "Oh, eat it, I picked it at the other end of the ground." ”

Her basket was the heaviest of the men, almost filling the sorghum stalks.

In the corner on one side, a few handfuls of wild sour dates were spread.

He Zao just wanted to hand her a persimmon, but Forsythia picked a ripe one for her: "Sister, give it." ”

The relationship between He Xiaer and Forsythia is actually quite good.

It may be said that Forsythia and the people of the He family get along very well, her temper is much better than Ma's, and she looks a little bright that the country girl does not have, and she is a little clever and generous, and her popularity is very good.

Moreover, she is very good at dressing up, much better than the people of the He family.

It's like Mrs. He and Aunt He don't care about their appearance, they are very shabby in their dress, they really look like an old lady in the countryside.

Forsythia followed her mother, even when she went to the ground, she wore a pair of small embroidered shoes, embroidered a pair of butterflies with wings on the uppers, a pair of silver studs on her ears, and a fake bead flower in her hair, the pearl hairpin was obviously made of copper, and it had faded a little, and the bead flower was originally a bright pink color, but now it is much darker.

He Zao recognized that Ma had worn it.

In this rural place, in front of the shabby three-room child and the cowardly and honest He Xia'er, Forsythia is undoubtedly the most dazzling one.

He Xia'er smiled at Forsythia, sat down on the grass, and took off a piece of grass from Forsythia's shoulder.

He Zao suddenly felt that the two of them were together, even if there was a lot of difference in appearance and dress, but there was a strange sense of fit. If it weren't for Ma's being too mean, maybe He Xia'er and Forsythia could really get along like biological sisters.

The area where they were located was a little far from the river at the entrance of the village, so the villagers dug a large pond nearby to store water.

Sibao asked: "Second sister, what about Brother Dayang and Third Brother?" ”

He Xia'er's face showed the usual sadness of the He family, and after a pause, he lowered his head and said, "I came from that end, as if I heard that Brother Dayang wanted to catch frogs to eat." ”

"What?" The children in the third room all showed angry faces.

Si Bao stood up and was angry: "I'll tell Uncle to go." ”

Children in the countryside know that frogs are beneficial insects and cannot be eaten. Catching frogs to eat is like a serious crime.

He Xia'er hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Don't ...... Other...... Brother Dayang won't let me say ......"

She was very nervous, with deep pleading in her eyes, obviously thinking that if Sibao went to sue, then Dayang would put all the blame on her, and Ma would punish her severely.

Forsythia scoffed: "Fourth brother, just eat a frog, it's not a big deal, you don't need to sue." ”

Sibao's face turned a little red, and he turned his head to stare at her.

Forsythia disagreed, and muttered: "Originally, there were many frogs in the pond at the edge of our field, and we couldn't eat them all." ”

She, like her mother, was a bit of a deviant in some things.

He Xia'er had already buried her head deeply, and it seemed that she didn't dare to say anything.

didn't want her to be too embarrassed, He Zao pulled Sibao and gave him a look.

The latter stood there with a frown: "Our grandfather has said since he was a child, our Zhuang family is not allowed to eat frogs." ”

However, there are always a few troublemakers in the village who will secretly catch frogs to eat, or catch blind tigers to play.

He Zao stood up: "Fourth brother, let's go pick wild sour dates, I think our parry sister is almost cut." ”

Sister Block is the common name of Wuxian Town for sorghum stalks.

Forsythia immediately forgot about the previous dispute, clapped his hands and jumped up: "Zhongli, Zhongli, let's go up the slope along this road, but there are many wild sour jujubes." ”

Most of the fields in Lujia Village are next to the mountains, and they have strange names, just like the land where they cut sorghum in Hezao, because there are many big ants, so it is called "big ant field".

Coming out of the big ant field, there is a small road to the mountain, the terrain is gentle, the mountains and forests are rich, and there are many wild fruits. This mountain is a little far from the mountain behind the village, and they have never been here before.

The mountain also has a name called "Big Ant Mountain". There are many children in the village who like to come to this mountain to dig ant holes, catch big ants, find that kind of white eggs to eat, or directly eat the big ant buttocks.
