Li Yunshan's words annoyed her and she ignored anyone until the meal was ready. She shouted into the yard and then went to get the bowl from the wooden shelf.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I saw that there was a wooden bowl in the original bowl that was much smaller than the one I used before.

The anger she had been holding was released, and she took the bowl and looked at it.

Li Yunshan washed his hands and came in to serve the food. He saw it and asked, "Is this the right size?"

"Suitable." She smiled sheepishly. She casually mentioned that Li Yunshan didn't make it and didn't take it seriously. Although it was just a wooden bowl, she was still quite happy.

"When was it done?"

"Just these two days." Li Yunshan explained, "The wood used to make the box was not suitable, so it was delayed for some days."

She didn't say any words of thanks, filled a bowl of rice, and said with a smile, "Eat."

Li Yunshan was surprised to see her smiling from ear to ear because of a wooden bowl. He couldn't help but look at her twice, and just smiled when she was glared at.

In a blink of an eye, the wheat was ripe, and there were only a few people busy in the fields. The only one closest to them was Li Yunqiang's family.

The three of them were used to farm work and were quick with their hands. They quickly worked through most of an acre of land in one morning.

In order to finish it in one day, she and Li Yunshan were still busy when Li Yunqiang and the others went back at noon.

Li Yunshan bundled the plucked wheat together and went to the front of the field to pull the cart over.

Li Yunshan started loading the car, and Mao Xiaosui stopped what he was doing and walked over to hand him the wheat parcels.

She glanced at the field next to her and said, "Li Yunqiang and the others didn't pull it."

"Don't worry about it." Li Yunshan unloaded all the clothes he had pulled out in the morning, lifted the lever and weighed it, and then told her, "When you go down the mountain, you lie on the back of the car and press down. As long as the car can move, don't let go all at once, or it will turn over."

Mao Xiaosui was nervous by what he said and nodded quickly.

The road in the field is gentle, and there is a slope beyond the ground. Li Yunshan directly supported the pole of the car with both hands to press the center of gravity of the car to the ground, and then called Mao Xiaosui behind him, "Pull the rope down with your hands and release it little by little."

Mao Xiaosui was very nervous, holding on to the rope with both hands and pushing down. Li Yunshan moved down with the support of the pole. When he found that it was not moving at all, he hurriedly said, "Relax a little, don't crush me to death."

Mao Xiaosui relaxed a little and the car started moving slowly.

It was all uphill when going down from the mountain, so the two of them moved little by little like snails. When they got downhill to the river, it was all uphill.

Li Yunshan squatted by the river, washed his face, drank some water, and asked her, "Can you still move?"

"It's not tiring, just a little scary."

"Going downhill is dangerous. If you don't let go, you'll be fine."

She felt a little melancholy, "Why is the land in our village so difficult to walk on?"

"They are all dug out of barren mountains, and they are cheap at first."

"how much?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, "They were all bought by my great-grandfather's generation. I heard that there was no one here before, and then slowly there were people. Later, when there were more people, the land price naturally went up, and even if you want to buy it, you can't afford it anymore." .”

"Then if I buy another land, how much money will it cost?"

"A dozen or twenty taels. For example, the Lu family's land above the river may have twenty-three or four taels. Our family's income is seventeen or eighty taels."

“There’s still a lot of empty space up there.”

"Expensive, no one buys it."

"Then why didn't Grandpa and the others buy these? They should have been cheaper at that time."

"I heard that it used to be a forest, but it was later dug out and turned into the ground..."

"You can't dig out the tree roots, they are so deep."

"I don't know." Li Yunshan naturally didn't know what happened so many years ago.

Going uphill is a strenuous task. Li Yunshan rested for a while before getting up.

He pulled the rope over his shoulders, pressed the pole with both hands and pulled up.

Mao Xiaosui pushed from behind and slowly pulled him down the slope at the entrance of the village. The slope in the village was even steeper, so the two of them put down the car and rested.

After finishing her meal, Lu Xiaoxia came out of the door to pour her swill, then turned around and walked in without saying anything when she saw it.

Mao Xiaosui gasped for breath, and then asked, "Li Yunqiang asked you about wheat last time. How did you respond?"

"Everyone does his own thing."

"He's not angry?" Mao Xiaosui was still a little surprised. After getting along with him for so long, she knew Li Yunqiang's character. It was strange that he looked as usual when he left that day.

"No." Li Yunshan didn't want to say anything more. There was an argument at first, but then after he said, "You're not a child anymore, you can't rely on me for everything." I don't know if he figured it out or not. Too lazy to guess.

Maybe I have been tired for so many years.

After a while, the two of them went uphill. When they passed Wang's house, Mao Mingzhu happened to come out of the backyard with eggs. Seeing that they were struggling to push, she quickly ran over to help.

Going up the slope, Mao Xiaosui felt tired and exhausted, not to mention Li Yunshan who was exerting the most effort.

Mao Mingzhu said something to them and then left. Mao Xiaosui sat down on the ground, his legs were weak, and he did not forget to complain to Li Yunshan, "Did you see that you have helped Li Yunqiang's family so many times, but in the end you are not as good as my aunt and the others?" …”

Li Yunshan ignored her and drove the cart away alone. When he opened the courtyard door, Mao Xiaosui got up and walked over.

Without unloading the wheat from the car, Li Yunshan went straight to the kitchen to drink water.

Mao Xiaosui washed his hands and face and dug out a bowl of noodles to cook.

I kneaded the dough and put it on the board to let it rest until soft. I took a basin and went to the back to get the eggs. I also picked a handful of green vegetables and some green onions, and also took some fungi that were dried in the yard.

Put lard in the pan and fry two eggs. Take the eggs out and cut them into pieces. Add the washed mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry. When they are soft, scoop out some of the oil residue and add them. Add the cut eggs and stir-fry. Finally, stir-fry. Season with salt and peppercorns.

Boil water in a pot, put the green vegetables in and blanch them, take them out, roll out the noodles and cut them into slices, throw them in and cook, add two drops of sesame oil to the boiling water, put the blanched vegetables in, and season with salt and chopped green onion.

Li Yunshan was leaning against the wall, half asleep, looking like he was very tired.

It was already afternoon. After dinner, Li Yunshan went back to the house to sleep first. Mao Xiaosui washed the pot, boiled some water and reserved part of it for drinking in the afternoon, and also boiled two bowls of millet noodles to steam steamed buns.

The chickens in the back had been crowing for a while. She took the basin to get the eggs, and while she was steaming the steamed buns, she quickly turned over the mushrooms drying in the yard.

After the steamed buns were steamed and everyone in the village woke up, she quickly put the lard in the bowl to melt, soaked some mugwort leaves in boiling water and threw them in to soak.

When she returned to the main room, Li Yunshan was still sleeping. She quickly took off her shoes and planned to go up and take a nap.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt like I was awakened by Li Yunshan standing up next to me before I fell asleep.

Whenever there was a good harvest, there would be thieves, and there were even more wheat thieves. The wheat in the field had to be pulled back today. She didn't care about being tired, and quickly got out of bed.

Li Yunshan went to the kitchen to drink water, and only when he saw the steamed buns on the stove did he know that she was not asleep.

There was nothing he could do, so he said, "After you are done with your work, you can have a good sleep tomorrow."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and didn't care. He made two bowls of honey water while Li Yunshan was unloading the wheat, and went to the chicken pen to get the remaining two eggs.

The wheat was unloaded directly in the yard, and there was no need to stack it. The two of them ate some steamed buns with honey water. Fearing that they would not have the strength to pull the wheat in the afternoon, Mao Xiaosui also put a few steamed buns and a jar of honey water in a basket.

When I pulled the car back to the field, Li Yunqiang's family had already been working for a while. His family's car was also in the field, and he would probably have to pull it back soon.

Li Yunshan pulled the car to the middle of the field, and the area around Dou Li started to get busy.

The days were long on this day, and Li Yunqiang's house had finished working before the sun had set. After a while, she heard the sound of the car's wheels before she looked over there.
