The happy little days of the Ye family

Arriving at his family's paddy field, Ye's father took out five sickles from the backpack behind him, and everyone except Xiao Qi shared one.

The little guy saw that someone had a sickle in his hand, but he didn't have one, and he was afraid that his grandfather would forget about him.

The little boy was so young that he deliberately stood on the ridge of the field, waving his little hands vigorously while jumping:

"Grandpa, there is still me. You forgot about me."

Mr. Ye on the side brought a small bamboo basket over with a smile, "Here, you can use this bamboo basket to pick rice ears."

The little guy wasn't very satisfied, but Father Ye didn't dare to give him the sickle, for fear that he would cut him like rice.

"Okay, then you cut the rice quickly, I still have to pick the ears of rice."

Xiaoqi held a small basket and urged everyone to harvest the rice quickly. Xiaoye was still waiting to pick the ears of rice.

Wang Chunyu warned again worriedly:

"Wait here for a while. We have harvested the rice in front of you. Then you can start picking the ears. Don't run around."

Seeing the little guy nodding obediently, Wang Chunyu turned around and started cutting the rice.

This was the first time that Xiao Qi came to his own field. The little guy stood on the ridge of the field and looked around curiously.

Soon, he saw the figure of his little friend, Er Gouzi, in the distance.

Ergouzi is 5 and a half years old. During this year's summer harvest, he has stopped picking rice ears and has started to help bundle rice for the family.

It means putting the rice cut by the adults together and then tying up the big bundles.

The bundled rice will be sent to the drying ground to dry later.

"Er Gouzi, here, here, I'm here."

The rice was too high, and Xiaoqi was afraid that his friends wouldn't be able to see him, so he jumped up and down on the field ridge, waving his little arms vigorously.

Ergouzi raised his head and smiled naively: "I'm busy. I'll play with you later."

Seeing that his friend was working seriously, Xiao Qi did not run over to play with him. He also had to work today.

He is the most capable young man in the village.

At this time, everyone took sickles and harvested the rice quickly. It's cooler now that the sun isn't out, so I want to do as much work as possible.

When the weather gets hotter, you can rest more.

The ripe rice had some grains falling off during the friction, and even broken ears of rice fell to the ground.

When Xiao Qi came to his senses, the small patch of rice ahead had been harvested.

At this time, there were some ears of rice falling on the ground, but there were not many, and the little guy picked them up in a few times.

Xiao Qi's eyes were very good, even the ears of rice hidden under the weeds could not escape his eyes.

No matter how well it was hidden, he finally found it easily and threw it into the basket.

In addition to the bunches of golden rice ears, there are also some small and cute grains scattered on the ground.

Xiao Qi, who had nothing to do, picked them up one by one.

On the mountains in the distance, a golden sun like salted egg yolk slowly rose.

The surroundings are getting brighter and brighter, and at the same time it feels hotter and hotter, as if you are in a furnace.

Wang Chunyu makes cakes and takes care of her children at home all year round. Her hands are tender and tender, and her hands that touch the rice soon become red and itchy.

I can't help but scratch it with my hands, but after scratching it, it becomes even more itchy.

Soon, my face and neck also felt itchy and uncomfortable.

She usually doesn't have to go to the ground, but now at the critical moment of harvesting, naturally she can't let go, so she can only endure it for the time being.

The clothes on the three grandfathers and grandsons beside them were already wet with sweat, and the sweat from their foreheads continued to drip to the ground like rain.

The sweat was quickly dried by the sun and disappeared without a trace.

The most relaxed one is probably Xiao Qi, who is jumping around picking up rice ears with a small basket.

The little guy picked up the fallen rice ears and some more conspicuous rice. The small basket was already a quarter full.

Xiaoqi ran up to Wang Chunyu quickly with her short legs, her face full of pride and curiosity:

"Mother, mother, is the rice I have here enough to feed the family?"

As he spoke, he rummaged through the basket with his little hands so that Wang Chunyu could see it more clearly.

Wang Chunyu looked at the little guy who was still full of energy, raised his hand to gently wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile on his face:

"It looks like there are a lot of ears of rice, but after picking them up, taking off all the rice, and then removing the chaff, there won't be much left."

"With so many people at home, there will definitely not be enough food, but it should be enough for a greedy little cat like you."

The little guy was a little disappointed at first, but then he cheered up again.

"That's it. Then I'll pick up more and pick up all the millet that fell on the ground. I'll definitely have enough for the family at night."

The little guy is full of confidence and is ready to pick out tonight's dinner.

Looking at Xiaoqi's cute little appearance, Wang Chunyu stretched out her hand to rub her son's little head.

But when he saw his hands were dirty, he quickly retracted his half-stretched hand.

Seeing that the little guy's lips were a little dry from the sun, Wang Chunyu felt a little distressed and asked him to drink water quickly.

"Xiao Qi is great. There is water in the basket on the field ridge. Go and drink some by yourself."

The little guy licked his dry lips. He was indeed thirsty.

There were two bamboo tubes filled with water in the backpack. Xiao Qi took out the heavy bamboo tubes.

However, he did not drink the water himself, but gave it to Wang Chunyu and Mr. Ye.

Then the bamboo tube was quickly transferred to Ye's father and Ye Xilin.

By the time the bamboo tube returned to the little guy's hand, it was already half lighter.

Xiaoqi drank the water by herself, then picked up her little basket and started picking rice ears seriously.

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, not only did everyone not slow down, they even worked harder.

At this moment, every household in the village is praying in their hearts that there will be good weather with clear skies in the near future.

At least don't let it rain until the rice is harvested.

Because when it rains heavily, the golden millet will most likely rot in the fields.

By the time the basket was filled with more than half of the rice ears, Xiao Qi could no longer bear the heat.

The sun was scorching in the sky, and the sun was so hot that it hurt Xiao Qi's head.

Looking at Xiao Qi's sunburnt face, Wang Chunyu couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

The weather here is really too hot. It would be bad if we get a heat stroke.

At this moment, Ye Mu’s familiar voice came from not far away:

"Here comes the mung bean soup, the cool mung bean soup soaked in the well."

Ye Mu put the mung bean soup in the bucket under the shade of the tree, and then quickly called the family members to come over and have a rest.

Although the mung bean soup at this time has been warmed by the sun.

But for a few people exposed to the sun, it was simply nectar on earth.

After a bowl of cold mung bean soup, my whole body seemed to come to life.

Ye Xilin picked up the sickle and was about to plow another acre of his land, but was quickly stopped by Ye Mu on the side.

"Rest for a while, don't get a heatstroke."

Seeing that her grandson was wilted from the sun, Mother Ye pulled the little guy with a distressed look on her face and prepared to take him home to rest.

"Xiaoqi Xiaoqi, let's go pick rice ears together."

Ergouzi, who had finished his work at this time, ran over happily to play with Xiaoqi.

"Hey, here you go, I'll come right away."

The little guy changed his weak and pitiful appearance, immediately picked up the small basket and ran towards his little friend.
