Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The lazy cat is curious about everything.

She wagged the tip of her tail and just sniffed the mushrooms without eating them.

Xu Dahai's family, plus Xu Ercai's family, sat in the yard for a while, eating fruit and chatting, and then dispersed.

time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

This evening, the sun was setting and a cool breeze was blowing.

Sixth sister Xu Juan finished her high school entrance examination, and Xu Dahai and his father Xu Houtian drove a bullock cart to pick her up.

"shelf!"

The school is crowded with people, including bicycles, donkeys riding backwards, wooden carriages, and even tractors and motorcycles.

Noisy and chaotic.

After Xu Dahai and his father Xu Houtian loaded everything into the oxcart, tied the ropes, and took Xu Juan out of school, their short sleeves and chest were soaked with sweat.

"There are so many people~ Sit down, let's go home!"

Father Xu Houtian sat on the wooden carriage and waved his whip, looking relaxed and at ease.

"Your mother is stewing meat at home! We can eat the meat when we get home."

"Stew?"

"Yeah, the big chunks of pork are so delicious! Do you want to eat them?"

"alright!"

Xu Juan couldn't get any good food in school, the soup was watery, and she usually consumed a lot of mental energy.

Now when I heard about the fragrant stew, my eyes suddenly lit up and I swallowed hard.

The breeze was blowing, and Xu Juan felt relaxed after finishing the exam.

Dad waved his whip and asked with a smile:

"How did you do on the exam!? Can you go to high school??"

"There should be no problem, it's just normal performance."

Xu Juan felt a little guilty because she had not finished the last big question in arithmetic. She always felt that the big question should not be finished.

The main reason was that she was too nervous and made frequent mistakes during the calculation process. In the end, she ran out of time.

of course.

She didn't dare to say these words for fear that her father would be cruel to her.

……

squeaky yah~

The cattle pulled the wooden cart on the bumpy dirt road, and slowly took the three of them home.

Sure enough, my mother had already stewed the meat. When she pushed the thick long-handled spoon twice in the pot, the fragrant chunks of pork tumbled, and the aroma became stronger and stronger.

The second aunt is also playing here with a cooking broom in her hand and her waist.

Seeing Xu Dahai and the others coming back, the second aunt immediately came out to greet them:

"Hey~ You guys are finally back! How did Xiaojuan'er do in the exam??"

Xu Juan got off the bullock cart and before she could speak, her father helped:

“The exam just finished and the scores haven’t come out yet.

Anyway, if you can pass the exam, just continue studying, no matter how expensive the tuition is; if you can't pass the exam, just go home to Pang, and you can find a husband in two years. "

"As you said, Xiaojuan'er studies so well, how could she not pass the exam??"

The second aunt also smiled and hugged Xu Juan into the house.

at night.

Grandpa, second uncle, and third uncle came over carrying wine, chicken racks, pork heads and other things.

The lively drinking scene lasted until around nine o'clock in the night.

Xu Dahai stayed at home for a few more days and finished harvesting the wheat. He was almost exhausted.

On the last day of the show, there was a strong wind, and dark clouds rushed over from the north. All the villagers instantly became nervous!

Once it rains.

When the wheat is soaked in water, it will germinate very quickly, and by then it will be all over!

The threshing floors of every household in the village are next to each other. The terrain is high or low, and they are all circular and very flat.

Look around.

There are villagers in most of the threshing floors, and they are basically chang (two sounds) - after pressing the threshing ground with hoe, they use big wood to scoop up the mixture of wheat grains, wheat husks, wheat awns, and dried leaves. Raised into the air.

With the help of wind.

The grains of wheat fall relatively close together.

Most of the debris is relatively light and will fall far away when blown by the wind.

Naturally they separated.

Cutting, drying, pressing, lifting, packing... When the wheat is packed and taken home, it is over. It is time to hand in the public grain, and the remaining wheat can be ground into flour.

Xu Dajia's wheat is a little better, but there is only the last bit left. It will be finished after it is finished.

The second uncle's family had more, and there was no time to show off, so he started pretending.

Even the pretense is a bit overwhelming.

Let dad drive the bullock cart home quickly. Xu Dahai, Wang Xiuxiu, mom, second sister Xu Mei, and Xu Juan went over to help get dressed.

clatter clatter~

The dark clouds had already drifted in, and the huge raindrops were pounding down, making people's livers tremble and sweating on their foreheads.

I feel irritable when I am anxious.

Many villagers were working quickly while quarreling with their families, and their roaring voices floated throughout the large grain farm.

But it didn't rain heavily.

After a few raindrops, the dark clouds dispersed, and the hot sunshine shone down again. The originally very nervous villagers were stunned.

……

In the blink of an eye, Wednesday, July 1986, 7 in the Gregorian calendar, was a hot day.

After eating early in the morning, Wang Xiuxiu took Xiao Tingzi, and her second sister Xu Mei took Xiao Hua and Xiao Xiang to pick wheat ears.

Wait until after 11 noon.

When they came back, their clothes were almost soaked.

"It's true that the wild boars can't eat the fine chaff and they've all gone into bed. It's so hot to cool down at home. Our family doesn't lack that little wheat."

Xu Dahai pulled out a towel and handed it to Wang Xiuxiu, then pulled out a second towel and quickly wiped the sweat from Xiao Tingzi's face.

The little girl kept having fun.

Wang Xiuxiu also smiled and moved the basket into the house. Inside were bundles of wheat.

Xu Dahai counted and found that there were six bundles in total. Each bundle was tied very firmly, probably as thick as an adult's waist.

It is not easy to pick up so much wheat in one morning.

However, Xu Dahai still said he disliked it:

"The price of food is so cheap, how much can I exchange for this little wheat? If I have that time, I might as well have a good rest at home."

"As I said, after beating the wheat grains, wouldn't it be okay to eat them with watermelon or sorbet? Even if they are ground into flour and steamed into steamed buns, it would be delicious."

Wang Xiuxiu also laughed.

There was no shade in the farmland. It was really too hot. The two large cans and bottles I brought with me were all drunk.

She didn't say much because her mouth was dry, and she went straight to scoop up the cold water in the jar and drank it.

ton ton ton~

Sweet, cold, and refreshing!

The cold noodles cooked at noon were served with some braised meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded raw cucumbers, and fried loofah as side dishes.

Xiao Tingzi helped peel the garlic and then smashed it into minced garlic.

"Meow~"

The fat orange cat slept on the eaves for a long time again. She figured it was time to eat, so she ran down.

Wang Xiuxiu used a spoon to scoop tomatoes and scrambled eggs into a bowl and said:

"This big lazy cat really likes to bask in the sun. It's so hot and the fur on her body is so thick, she's not afraid of fainting from the sun."

"Haha~

Our cat is afraid of the cold but not the heat. She doesn't go out much after the snow falls in winter.

A cat has a different temperament, and she's not stupid. Maybe it's just that she feels comfortable drying her fur. "

Xu Dahai put sesame sauce, minced garlic, and various side dishes into a bowl, stirred them evenly, and ate them with noodles.
