Chapter 010: Planting melons with the Yun family
After eating lunch and resting for a while, Haizi came to the east of the courtyard early to prepare for planting melons according to the instructions of Second Master Yun. Seeing that Yun Sanye's family had not yet come, he returned to the bungalow in the courtyard to get melon seeds and farm tools for planting melons.
Of course, by the way, he beckoned Yun Sanye's family to come to the melon field to plant melons, Haizi wanted to finish the work as soon as possible, and he had to go back to his house as soon as possible to have a look, at this time, Haizi really missed his family and mother very much.
Yun Sanye also followed him to the field where he planted melons, but he didn't work and kept his mouth shut. It seems that Yun Sanye has already recovered from coughing all day in winter, and his body is not much different from a normal person in appearance.
Yun Sanye is a stumbling person, he coughs non-stop in winter, he doesn't even dare to go out of the house, and he can't stand the cold wind, so he doesn't go out of the house all winter, and after the beginning of spring, it's fine, but it's not like normal people can do heavy work.
However, this year, it seems that Yun Sanye has recovered better, and it seems that he can eat the melon he is serving again this year. Seeing that everyone was ready, Yun Sanye also began to deploy the work.
"Haizi and Sixizi are responsible for digging the pit in the front, and the fourth girl and your mother will light the seeds and bury the pit in the back first. Why didn't Monroe, this kid come? After a while, let her take over her third aunt.
The pit does not need to be dug too deep, it is only one foot and two far away, and it cannot be irregular at a distance and near. If you want three seeds in a pit, you must step on it, step on two more feet, and this spring is still relatively dry. ”
Yun Sanye was coughing habitually, and at the same time he was seriously demonstrating. Under the guidance of Yun Sanye, several people also worked seriously. At this time, Sixizi raised an objection: "This land is still a little dry, do you need to water it?" ”
"No need to water, tomorrow is the May Festival, and it will rain." Because Yun Sanye couldn't do heavy work, he planted melons, watched melons, and sold melons every year. The melons he served were big and sweet, and he was a famous melon leader.
He is very experienced in planting melons and management, and he said that if you don't need to water, you don't need to water, so Sixizi doesn't say anything anymore. Haizi looked up at the crops on the left and right, but raised his own questions.
"Look, the crops in the field next to you have grown so tall, isn't it a little late to plant melons at this time?"
"It's not too late, you're still a farmer! At this time, it is still a little early to plant melons, if it is not for the melons to plant some autumn cabbage after the garden, it will take a few days to plant. ”
The first to answer Haizi's question turned out to be the fourth girl, she followed Haizi to order seeds and bury the pit, so she quickly answered Haizi's question. Because now she is the closest to Haizi, and Sixizi and Yun Sanniang have been left behind.
"Alas, if Mr. Yu hadn't left early, Haizi, the kid, wouldn't have been able to go down to the crops to do such tiring work."
Yun Sanniang heard the words of Haizi and the fourth girl, and also participated, but what she said was pity for Haizi, and her words were also full of pity and love. But when Mr. Yu was mentioned, everyone didn't say much, and worked silently.
After a short time, Monroe's figure appeared, but she was still not in a hurry, and she was not walking fast. Seeing that Monroe didn't arrive in time, Yun Sanye seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so he urged Monroe to hurry up.
"Why did you just come, this kid, it's still a little out of tune. Go and take care of your third aunt, her body is inconvenient. ”
"I went to dig wild vegetables at noon, and my feet and head were covered with dirt, and I washed them."
Monroe was not angry at the accusation of the third uncle, in fact, she also knew that the Yun family loved her, so she developed her current willful character. However, Monroe was still well-behaved and respectful in front of the elders, so she quickly went to take over the work in Yun Sanniang's hands.
"Didn't your father let you dig wild vegetables, you deviated. Come on, you can just order the seeds, and I'll bury the pit, or I'll make your shoes full of dirt. ”
Yun Sanniang did not give all the work to Monroe, but ordered seeds and cultivated soil with her. In this way, the two of them were relaxed at the same time, and Yun Sanye also came over to help the fourth girl.
"My dad said let's not worry, plant melons and hurry. Jackie Chan said that he wanted to go home to see, so let him go back early. ”
Monroe took the melon seeds in Sanniang's hand, glanced at Haizi by the way, and started working with everyone. But she still expressed her meaning while working, in order to let the child go home early to see.
"Clean up those foreign names! The fifth sister still calls Hai Zi like when she was in the school, but now she is not in the school, she is called Hai Zi smoothly, and it seems that it is not the same, so don't call Jackie Chan or Jackie Chan. ”
Sixizi doesn't work very hard, and Haizi has been left behind at this time, but his desire to join in the fun is relatively strong, and he always wants to mix in a few words when others speak, I'm afraid he wants to relieve his fatigue.
"I'll dig the pit instead of Sikiko. Mom, you and Monroe followed Haizi to order seeds, and let Sixizi follow me to point seeds and bury the pit, saving him from his slow mistakes. ”
The fourth girl saw that her younger brother Sixizi was a little lazy in her work, so she proposed to exchange with her, but Sixizi was not polite, and smiled and switched with her sister and the fourth girl, and the speed of planting melons was significantly accelerated.
"Haizi, have you finished planting that little land?"
Yun Sanniang asked Haizi about the affairs of Haizi's family with great concern, she felt that Haizi always didn't look up, she only knew how to work hard, and wanted to let Haizi relax by chatting with him, don't be too tired.
"After planting the land, my mother and Erya exchanged jobs with the master's family, and it was planted in less than two days. However, the planting is relatively late, and now the seedlings have just emerged, and they have not yet begun to shovel all over the ground. ”
Haizi still answered Yun Sanniang's question without raising his head, and the work in his hand did not slow down, he still wanted to do it quickly, so he could go home early. And Yun Sanniang saw that it didn't work, so she continued to chat with Haizi.
"Hurry up, this year's spring sowing is long, and you can plant everything. In the past two years, your master has also helped your family a lot, but you have to study hard with your master. Brother Zhao is a good person, and he will want to repay him well in the future. ”
The eldest brother Zhao mentioned by Yun Sanniang is the old official of the Yun family, helping the second master of Yun to manage the internal and external affairs of the Yun family. Zhao Ye's big name is Zhao Shiyuan, he is the kowtow brother of Yun Erye, and in the early years, he went out to do small business and make money by playing skills.
It is rumored that Zhao Ye has strong martial arts and is very famous in this radius of hundreds of miles. Now that he is old, Second Master Yun saw that he was also working hard to travel south and north all day long, and he didn't have a regular place to stay, so he persuaded him to settle in Duanlonggang.
Nominally, Zhao Ye is working for the Yun family, but in fact, he helps Yun Er Ye manage most of the family, in the Yun family, his status is second only to Yun Er Ye, so the guys usually call him Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye saw that Haizi was clever and scheming, diligent and honest, and loved it very much, so he secretly taught him some martial arts.
Zhao Ye not only taught Haizi some kung fu, but also due to Yun Erniang and Yun Erye's repeated requests, he also taught Silly Jiuzi some martial arts, but they were not formal apprentices. Zhao Ye usually does not teach the two of them together, but teaches each other, let the two practice by themselves, and he often gives some guidance.
Because Haizi has a strong understanding and is willing to endure hardships, he is deeply liked by Zhao Ye, so he has long regarded Haizi as his apprentice in his heart, but he didn't make it public because of his master's life.
"Jackie Chan, is martial arts easy to learn? In the future, you will be both civil and military, and you will also go away and fly high, but don't forget our Longgang! ”
Monroe knew that Haizi was practicing martial arts with Uncle Zhao, but she hadn't seen how Haizi practiced martial arts with her own eyes, and she couldn't guess how far his martial arts had been, so she joked with him in a ridiculous tone.
Haizi didn't talk, he knew that Monroe was teasing him, because it was impossible for him to leave Duanlonggang, and Monroe might have lingering feelings about what happened this morning, so he spoke like this to release his resentment.
But it's not his fault, who let the wild wolf appear at that time, it wasn't his fault that Monroe was so embarrassed that he couldn't feel ashamed, and he complained that Monroe shouldn't dig wild vegetables, so Haizi didn't want to answer Monroe's ridicule.
"Haizi, this kid is honest, and he won't forget his home and our Duanlonggang when he arrives."
Yun Sanniang heard Monroe's ridicule of Haizi, but Haizi didn't know how to answer, so she hurriedly helped Haizi play a round. This Yun Sanniang has a good impression of Haizi, she likes such a steady, honest and scheming child.
"That's maybe, men are all Chen Shimei, they like the new and hate the old, and they forget the pain when the scars are good."
Monroe saw that Haizi didn't reply, so she didn't give up and continued to tease, she wanted to hear how Haizi answered such ridicule. And the four girls who caught up with the pit also came up to help at this time and joked with Haizi together.
"I think too, when Haizi grows up and has a future, he will lead his daughter-in-law away from home, and he will never return to our place. Haizi is a person with a very high spirit, and he doesn't look down on our side of Longgang at all. ”
"These two crazy girls, just say something inconsequential, you see Haizi's face is red, don't say it, let's talk about something else."
It was Yun Sanniang who came out to play a round for Haizi to alleviate Haizi's embarrassment and the current embarrassing situation, but Monroe was still a little reluctant, and the girls from big families were so willful.
"What we said is true, don't believe you ask him, can you remember what day it is?"
"What day, isn't today the fourth day of the fifth month, the day before the 'May Festival'."
Yun Sanniang replied instead, because Haizi still didn't speak, just silently bowed her head and worked. Yun Sanniang reminded that Monroe suddenly woke up, tomorrow is the annual May Festival, which is a festival that the Zhuang family attaches great importance to, and they are ready for a few days.
"Yes, tomorrow is the May Festival, and tomorrow there will be a dinner in our whole house. In the morning, grandma has to take us to the spring, very busy. My father didn't let Jackie Chan live at his house tonight, for fear that he wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow morning. ”
