green grass on the stream

The chickens in the chicken coop also enjoyed the long-lost sunshine, lying on their sides in the messy grass in the yard, squinting and drowsy.Qi Yanfan ran out thumping, causing chicken feathers flying all over the yard.

He took a quick look at Ji Tingyu, only to see that the man was dragging a few thick green bamboos, and the bulging muscles on his arms propped up his sleeves.

Qi Yanfan stopped in his tracks and didn't rush forward. At this glance, he felt that he was just letting go of rivers and lakes. My thirst had been quenched, so he went back to fiddle with other things contentedly.

Qi Yanfan carved out an open space on the east side of the kitchen. First, he laid a layer of rough wood of the same length on the ground, and then piled up a thick layer of withered grass—this was specially reserved before the rain to ensure the living conditions of the chickens. dry.

He inserted a dense circle of bamboo around the wood, made a roof with bamboo, and then spread branches and bundles of thatch. A chicken coop integrating wood, bamboo and grass was completed. .

Then he used bamboo to surround the chicken coop with an area of ​​about ten square meters, which was regarded as the range of activities for the chickens, and filled the space between the bamboo and the bamboo, so that no one had to go to see the chickens.

In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, every household began to be busy with farming, and some young and middle-aged people who had gone out to work came back, and suddenly there were many faces in the village that Qi Yanfan didn't know.

Compared with other people's families, Qi Yanfan's family is rarely at leisure.The vegetables in the field have already sprouted, and there is no land to grow at home, so it is really very idle.

Qi Yanfan measured the length of Ji Tingyu's shoes and went to Aunt Xu to make a few new pairs of cloth shoes, and found that the craftsmanship was really impeccable, and Na's layered soles were actually quite comfortable to wear.

On this day, he took Ji Tingyu to plan to make some short jackets for summer.

Aunt Xu gave them several styles to choose from. Country men don’t pay much attention to summer, and most of the styles are cool and save on fabrics.

Qi Yanfan's eyes twitched, he still couldn't accept Ji Tingyu wearing that kind of sleeveless gown after thinking about it, it felt a bit contrary to the elegant boy wearing a lazy vest.Not to mention cooler ones with side exposed breasts.If you watch this every day, it will definitely be a torture to your body and mind.

"Aunt Xu, can it be made with sleeves?" Qi Yanfan gestured, probably the kind of clothes that look like middle sleeves.

"Of course you can," Aunt Xu said, "It looks like you're from the city, and you're not used to these farmers' gowns."

Qi Yanfan smiled: "What city people, don't they all live in the country now?" He turned back to Ji Tingyu, "What do you think?"

Ji Tingyu said: "Just listen to you."

Aunt Xu measured him, and then asked: "The two of you don't have any land to plant. I would like to ask if you can help our family?"

It turned out that none of the strong men in Aunt Xu's family rushed back today, so I wanted to hire someone to help plant the fields at home.

Qi Yanfan and Ji Tingyu thought together, and Ji Tingyu said: "Neither of us knows how to farm, I'm afraid the speed will be slow, if we need to move the seedlings, we can still contribute."

Aunt Xu said: "It's okay, I count as much as I can plant, and I'm afraid I'll miss the spring plowing."

So the matter was settled like this, Ji Tingyu went to help move the rice seedlings, and the other two helped transplant the rice seedlings, which was considered half a job.

The two of them went to the field soon.This is definitely a new thing for the two of them.

Stepping on the plowed paddy field with one foot, the warm, slippery soil wrapped up the calves, as if one hand was holding two feet, it was a novel and frightening experience.

Qi Yanfan walked to the center of the paddy field with one foot high and the other low. Ji Tingyu looked at him worriedly on the ridge behind.

"It's okay, I won't fall into muddy water." Qi Yanfan waved his hand at him, signaling him to work quickly.Ji Tingyu shook his head with a smile, turned around and went to the seedling field to carry the seedlings tied up by others, and threw them into the paddy fields.

Qi Yanfan unwrapped a bundle, held a handful in his hand, pinched a few with the tip of his other hand, and inserted it into the mud like the uncle next to him, leaving a cluster of pointed points protruding from the water.

After Qi Yanfan planted a plant, he straightened up and looked at it for a while. He also thought it was fun, and then planted the plants one by one according to the regular distance between the rows.

In order not to be too slow in catching up with the uncle next to him, Qi Yanfan was so dedicated that he didn't react until Ji Tingyu yelled several times.

"Yan Fan, Yan Fan, it's time to eat."

"Hey, here we come, wait for me—"

The two washed their feet by the water, Qi Yanfan specially brought a cloth towel to dry his feet, then reached out to wipe Ji Tingyu's as well, and then put them into clean cloth shoes.

Afterwards, the two walked towards the shade of the tree together, and he brought food and put it in a cool place.

As the host, Aunt Xu provided tea, a large pot and several porcelain bowls were placed in a bamboo basket.The tea is still green tea with sporadic leaves added, which is refreshing to drink.Many of the paddy fields here are far away, one here and another according to the mountain, so many farmers bring food out and don't go home at noon.

Several people in the same company were chatting, and a man kept praising Ji Tingyu: "Brother Jianye is really good, you can throw this seedling wherever you want, and you can throw it every time!"

Qi Yanfan listened with a slight smile, and at the same time quickly took out the bowls and chopsticks from the bamboo basket, and lifted the covered bowl, revealing two bowls full of bacon and vegetables.

The vegetables were small green vegetables that had just grown from the ground. Qi Yanfan pulled out a few and fried them with bacon, then poured the washed rice into it, and added water to cook it into a pot of rice with bacon and vegetables.Every grain of rice is shiny with oil, and the aroma of bacon has permeated into the rice, and the soft and rotten vegetables mixed in the rice have relieved the greasy well, and it is impeccable to eat a bite of vegetable rice.

Qi Yanfan picked up a piece of fat and thin bacon and took a bite. The meat had not been marinated for a long time, and the lean meat had a lovely pink color.Then I took two mouthfuls of rice, and I could almost hear the sound of the man beside me swallowing saliva in an instant.

"You guys eat really delicious." Some honest man couldn't help but said.

Qi Yanfan said perfunctorily, "You can only work when you are full."

"Oh, how can we eat meat as often as you do."

"I've heard that it's not good to just eat meat or just vegetables and rice," Qi Yanfan said, "you should eat them together and eat the same amount, so that your body won't get sick easily..."

That man had already turned his head away to grunt and grunt vegetables and rice, and ignored Qi Yanfan's health theory explanation at all.

Qi Yanfan curled his lips, and a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ji Tingyu put a piece of meat in his bowl into his bowl: "You eat less meat."

"I..." Qi Yanfan was about to speak, but Ji Tingyu asked again: "Is it not easy to get sick?"

"Yeah." Qi Yanfan looked at it for a while, then obediently picked up the meat and ate it.

He thought, is Ji Tingyu caring about him? Also, this meat is actually sweet.

After planting Aunt Xu's field, another family in the north of the village invited her to work for two days.

Over the past five days, because they have to climb over the mountain to go to the field, the two of them got up earlier, and often had to get up at dawn, and rested for a while after eating at noon. Hei quickly ate and washed.

On the first day when he was free, when Ji Tingyu had breakfast, he just took a sip of porridge before he hissed before he had time to cover it up.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yanfan asked after catching this sound.

"No."

"Ah, open your mouth."

"Yan Fan—" Ji Tingyu said helplessly.

"Open your mouth." Qi Yanfan insisted.

Ji Tingyu had no choice but to open his mouth, Qi Yanfan looked at it, and sure enough there were several ulcers in his mouth.This is all a physical reaction after hard work, Qi Yanfan felt a little bit of pain in his heart, it doesn't matter if he tosses himself, Ji Tingyu must have never suffered such a crime.

Ji Tingyu said: "Farming is actually a pretty good experience..."

"Going to have a good rest next time!" Qi Yanfan interrupted decisively.

"Okay, listen to you."
