Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Chapter 322: Collecting corn and delivering lunch

At night, the moonlight is bright and the stars twinkle.

Outside the window, there were gusts of cold wind, and there were some misty barkings of dogs, as well as the shouts of people playing cards at the canteen.

"This kid can't eat anything meaty in school, right?"

Mom looked at Xu Juan's cheeks bulging, as if she hadn't had a full meal in days, eating various dishes.

In an instant, her eyes turned red, and she felt that her daughter was really suffering. She hurriedly put some food for her and said:

"Eat slowly and don't choke. There's enough food and no one will compete with you. Do you want dumpling soup? Can I pour you some dumpling soup?"

"Yeah, hehe, mom, the food you cook is so delicious."

"Pfft~ Silly girl."

Mom immediately smiled and went to the outhouse to serve dumpling soup.

Although Xu Juan is the sixth child.

There is also the younger Xiaohua, the seventh child, but in fact there is a big age difference between the two of them. Xu Juan has been the eldest child since Xiaohua was not born.

Having been a child for nearly ten years, this girl has received a lot of favoritism and has a very outgoing personality.

After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, dad Xu Houtian gave Xu Juan a few words, asking her to stop being playful and study hard.

People also dispersed.

……

The next morning, before dawn, my mother came to Xu Dahai's courtyard wearing a scarf and a flashlight.

"Xiaohai, have you finished eating? If so, let's leave early and finish it while it's cool, otherwise it will get hot before the sun comes out."

"Yeah, let's go now!"

"Can you screw the tractor by yourself? Why don't you ask your dad to screw it with you?"

Today they are going to harvest a piece of corn from Nanwa, and other families have harvested it too.

Load all the necessary farm tools, fertilizer bags, water cans, ropes, etc. into the car.

His mother helped relieve the pressure, while Xu Dahai rounded his arms and twisted them.

da da da da ~

Bursts of black smoke floated out of the chimney, and soon the tractor started.

"Let's go to the car! Quick! Quick!"

Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi got into the car first and sat down in the car. Mom locked the fence door and got into the car.

Xu Dahai drove the tractor to another yard to pick up his father Xu Houtian, his second sister Xu Mei, Xiaoxiang, Xiaohua and then drove out of the village.

Sixth sister Xu Juan did not go.

Although the vacation time is short, there is still a lot of homework left.

Just let her do her homework at home.

……

The morning mist was drifting, and the valley was extremely quiet. A large number of small insects were hiding in the grass, and they were chirping happily.

squeak~

When I arrived at the field, I parked the tractor and got off the tractor, and soon started working.

Xu Dahai, father Xu Houtian, and mother wielded adzes and hoes, and each managed a three-meter-wide field of corn.

First, all the growing corn poles must be removed and spread on the ground.

Each person is three meters wide, and with three people in total, this trip is nine meters wide!

And Wang Xiuxiu said goodbye to Xu Dahai, the second sister said goodbye to her father Xu Houtian, and the three little girls worked together to say goodbye to their mother.

Ka Ka Ka ~

The left hand holds the corn pole in the backhand, and the right hand holds the hoe.

Xu Dahai's palms are big enough to hold four corn poles, and just place them on the ground.

He was strong and very fast. He soon had a corn pole of about twenty meters, while his parents only had a little more than ten meters.

"Xiao Hai, are you tired? You don't have to work hard. Just take a rest when you are tired. Just do the farm work slowly."

My mother's adze was too deep, so she used the adze to tap the soil on the roots of the corn, and then spread it flat on the ground.

She was afraid that her son would be exhausted, so she said quickly.

"I'm not tired! It's just that the corn leaves are uncomfortable to scratch."

Xu Dahai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The leaves of corn are very long, very soft, and the edges are not sharp at all.

But if you accidentally scratch it, a long red mark will appear on your body in an instant, which is very uncomfortable.

Rest for a while and then continue working.

Xu Dahai imagined himself as an emotionless donkey, just keep working hard, there was no other way.

Tired, hot, stuffy, boring, and painful.

The key is that I used to be leisurely and enjoy myself every day, but suddenly I had to step into the role of a high-intensity animal, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling.

But when Xu Dahai arrived at the other end of the field and knocked down all the 3-meter-wide corn poles, looking back, he felt quite accomplished.

The cool breeze blows, the sweat evaporates, and it feels so refreshing for a moment!

"Hey! Silly dog, stop running around and come back!"

Xu Dahai shouted towards the south, and four hunting dogs ran back. Some were chasing grasshoppers, and some were lying on the corn poles and sticking out their tongues.

"Is there any more water?"

"Yes! Go and drink."

Wang Xiuxiu was sitting on the corn stalks, constantly breaking off the rice.

There will be an open space of half a meter to one meter wide between every two trips of corn stalks. Just throw the corn stalks into the open space.

Of course it's not littering.

Just throw a bunch of them at some distance to facilitate final loading and bagging.

"You little girls, when you're done, you should rest for a while."

Xu Dahai came to the cloth bag at the edge of the field, took out a can, unscrewed it and took two big gulps.

happy!

The three little girls, Xiao Tingzi, Xiao Hua and Xiao Xiang, treated breaking the corn as a game and helped with a lot of work.

Hearing Xu Dahai's shout, he quickly ran towards him.

"Don't run and look at your feet! Don't let the corn roots trip you!"

There were some melons and some chickpeas in the cloth bag, and they were all taken out for the little girls to eat. Xiaoxiang also showed Xu Dahai a big grasshopper she had caught.

"Fourth uncle! Look, grasshopper!"

"Haha~ Come on, I'll string it up for you and take it back to feed the cat."

Xu Dahai casually grabbed a piece of dogtail grass, opened the back of the grasshopper's head, pierced a layer of white membrane, and strung it on.

After resting for a while, continue working.

When it was almost noon, Xu Juan came over on a [-]-meter pole, bringing rice and water.

Steamed buns, salted duck eggs, pickled Jerusalem artichokes, spring onions, and a large portion of fried pork slices with green beans.

The water is not filled with cans and bottles, but with the wine bottles left after drinking the wine.

Pretend to be more!

Of course, the wine flask has been cleaned many times, but it still smells like wine, but it's not that particular.

"Actually, you don't need to bring food. I brought chicken cakes." My mother squatted on the ground and said while eating.

"Have you finished your homework?"

"Ah, writing...finished."

In fact, there is still an 800-word Chinese composition left to write, but Xu Juan is tired of homework, and she keeps leaving so much homework during the holiday. She feels that this holiday is like no holiday.

And I also want to help with some work in Wali.

Everyone else was working in the valley, even the little girls who had just entered the first grade. But she was the only one staying at home, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"After you finish studying, just stay and work in the valley." Mom said with a smile.

Father Xu Houtian laughed and scolded: "What a silly girl, you won't say you haven't finished writing!? Look, you can't go back now, can you?"
