Li Yunshan went to the field in the afternoon and pulled the car as usual. Some people who had gone to the field in the morning had not come yet.

As soon as Mao Xiaosui stretched out his hand to pinch the millet and was about to pull it out, something black and black slipped out in front of him.

She was startled, and when she looked again, the thing had run away, but a few of the millet stalks where it had just been had been bitten off.

It should be something like a rat. She told Li Yunshan, "The rat stole the food."

Li Yunshan was not surprised when he heard this. He just said, "They will dig holes in the ground and hide the stolen grain inside. This happens every few years. This year's grain will be dug out after the work is done, and the holes will be blocked by then." That’s it.”

"Is it always like this?" she asked.

"These rats come from the mountains. This year they will be in our field and next year they will be in other people's fields. If we are lucky, they will stay quiet for a few years. If we are unlucky, they will cause trouble every year."

"In the past few years, there was a lot of commotion in the fields. I dug half a bag of grain out of our field. At that time, the villagers blocked all the holes in the fields. There has been no commotion in the past two years. It probably started again this year. ”

"If the mice take our food into other people's fields, wouldn't we suffer a loss?"

Li Yunshan smiled and said, "That's okay."

She hit Heizi with a lump of dirt, pointed at the ground and said, "Hurry up and catch the mice."

Kuroko yelled and spun around in a circle.

Mao Xiaosui cursed, "Silly dog."

When the villagers came, they had already pulled out seven or eight bundles.

After working all afternoon, when the sun goes down, those with a large number of people in the family will go back first with the grain. Some who don't like the trouble will wait until everything is finished before pulling out.

Li Yunshan bundled the grain and started loading the truck, and Mao Xiaosui also went to help.

Li Yunqiang asked from a short distance away, "Do you need help?"

Just as Li Yunshan was about to go back, he heard Ding Wenxiu scold him. Later, Li Yunqiang said a few words that they didn't hear clearly, and Li Yunshan had no intention of going back.

It took time to pull Gu Zi back, so the two left before it was still bright.

A few grown men from the village chief's family pulled a cart very quickly. They had already walked back as soon as they reached the slope near the river.

Li Yunshan asked, "Do you want to finish it?"

They have a large family, so they have to make three or four trips just to do the things they do in the afternoon. "

"One more trip will be enough." Li Zhong asked them, "Can you go up?"

Li Yunshan gasped and nodded, "Then you should hurry up, it will get dark soon."

Several people nodded and left.

After going downhill, they rested by the river. Mao Xiaosui was not very tired. Li Yunshan took it easy for a while before putting his hemp rope back on again and said, "Hold on."

She nodded, thinking that when she got rich, she would buy a donkey. She could forget about it when going downhill. Going uphill would save energy anyway.

Just the two of them, Li Yunshan and she, had to peel off their skin every autumn harvest.

When they came up from the river to the intersection, Li Yunshan couldn't pull it anymore. When he stopped and sat down to calm down, he suddenly asked, "Where is Heizi?"

Mao Xiaosui was stunned. When loading the car, she called out. Heizi responded at the time, but she ignored it later. Now that the dog was missing, she felt anxious.

She was so tired from walking up half the slope that her throat was almost dry, so she didn't care and immediately started shouting at the top of her lungs.

He shouted seven or eight times in a row, getting louder and louder, but there was still no response from Heizi.

Li Yunshan stood up and said, "Go back first. I guess it's in the fields. I'll go to the other side of the river and shout. It will come back after listening."

"It won't be lost."

"No, no one wants to raise them, and no one wants to eat them."

"It's just meat if you don't have two ounces. Who knows if there will be such a greedy person." The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she exerted all her strength while pushing the cart.

After finally climbing up the slope in the village and reaching home, I was so tired that I collapsed on the ground.

Li Yunshan was similar. He put the car back, held the handle and began to breathe heavily.

Thinking about the dog, they didn't rest long, so they pulled the car to the door without unloading it. They planned to go find the dog first, but when they turned around, they saw Heizi running up the slope.

I ran all the way and lay down on the ground without even a buffer, my tongue hanging out, and I was moaning and breathing heavily like a human being.

Mao Xiaosui patted its butt and said with a smile, "It's not stupid, it knows how to go home."

Li Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief and said to her, "You will go cook during the break and I will pile up the millet."

"Noodles or food?"

"noodle."

Mao Xiaosui first went to throw grass for the chickens, picked up a handful of onions and green vegetables, returned to the kitchen, made two bowls of honey water, drank one bowl for himself and brought another bowl to Li Yunshan, and then started to pack up dinner.

Add water to the pot and boil, half a bowl of millet noodles and two handfuls of bean noodles. Use warm water to knead into a dough and let it rise.

Crack six eggs into a bowl, wash and chop the green onions and mix them with the eggs evenly. Finally, wash a pot of mushrooms and set aside.

First, she fried the egg and scallion pancakes, then fried the mushrooms, and boiled the vegetable water. Before making the noodles, she threw the vegetables in and boiled them before starting to roll out the noodles.

Roll the dough into irregular pieces, put them together, cut them with a slanted razor blade, and cook them in a pot. Before taking them out of the pot, add two drops of sesame oil and salt.

Li Yunshan sat at the door and calmed down. When Mao Xiaosui came out with the dishes, he got up and walked in. He washed his hands and face in the water tank with fish in the yard. He didn't use a cloth to wipe it, but wiped it with his sleeves. Just sat down.

It wasn't until he ate that Mao Xiaosui noticed that his wrist was shaking, probably due to loss of strength.

She picked up an egg with chopsticks and asked, "Why don't you sell the grain and buy a donkey?"

Li Yunshan raised his eyes and asked, "Why?"

She pointed her chin, "Your hands are shaking."

"It's okay." Li Yunshan has long been used to it and said, "I also tremble when I pull Yun Qiang, just slow down and it will be fine."

"Actually, we can't finish all the food at home. Even if we sell some of it, there's still a lot left. There's no need to keep tiring ourselves..."

Li Yunshan didn't speak, and Mao Xiaosui just assumed that he disagreed and didn't ask any more questions.

On the third day of busy work in the fields, the millet began to mature in large areas. In addition, the ears of grain, which were scorched by the bright sun, were dry and fell off at the slightest movement.

I used to be busy working on an acre of land for a day and a half. Now I go to the fields in the morning when I can see a little light, and I am busy until noon. After it was completely dark, I walked home by moonlight.

Heizi disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Mao Xiaosui called to it and quickly ran back.

She was feeling flustered and her legs were weak. She didn't know if she was in the sun, and she was very dizzy.

Li Yunshan was better than her, but the slope here was steep and dark, and it was not safe for him to carry it on his back. He comforted him and said, "Hold on, I will carry you up when you cross the river. There is a slope here and it is not flat, so it is easy to fall."

Mao Xiaosui hurriedly shook his head, realizing that he might not be able to see, and then said, "No, I can leave."

Li Yunshan didn't say anything else. He didn't squat down until he crossed the bridge by the river and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."

She refused. She was tired after a long day and walked slowly to get there. There was no need to carry it.

Li Yunshan held her legs with one hand and lifted her up, smiling and saying, "I still have the strength to carry you up."

Mao Xiaosui still wanted to argue. Li Yunshan pinched her leg and said, "Calm down, we have to cook when we go up, so save some energy."

She stopped moving, lying on her stomach with peace of mind, and asked, "Will I have a bowel movement tomorrow morning or afternoon?"

"Get up later tomorrow morning. Just one poop and lie down in the morning. You can poop three times in the afternoon. There are too many mice in the field, so it's better to poop them out early. When the time comes, pick up the ears in the field and dig out the grain in the holes... …”

"We're afraid that we won't be able to get into the venue these days, so we'll rub it in the sun first. It will be easier to use a stone roller to remove it later when the venue is empty."

Mao Xiaosui almost fell asleep listening to him, and nodded unconsciously.

They talked all the way to the entrance of the village. There was no sound in the village. She patted Li Yunshan on the shoulder and whispered, "That's all."

Li Yunshan did not persist this time.

When they arrived, Heizi was already waiting at the door of the house, and Mao Xiaosui went straight to the kitchen.

It was too late now, and there was no time to do anything else. She used white flour and water to make some sticky pancakes, scrambled eggs and mushrooms, and finally made two bowls of honey water.

Both of them were very hungry and wolfed down the food. After a few mouthfuls, she felt less hungry and panicked. She put the vegetables into pancakes, rolled them up, and went to the kitchen to cook for Heizi.

After pouring the cooked paste into a basin, Heizi smelled it and looked at Li Yunshan eagerly.

Of course, you can't give it scrambled eggs and white noodles.

She didn't care, scooped out a ladle of water and washed the pot with a brush.

It was already very late after cleaning up, and both of them were very sleepy. Mao Xiaosui didn't even bother to sweep the kitchen floor, so he beckoned Li Yunshan to go back to the house and sleep.
