Farmhouse Little Dad

busy autumn harvest

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered October, and the autumn wind is rustling.This period of time coincides with the autumn harvest season and is the busiest time in the southern countryside.

Chen Zhihua has been transferred from the hospital to recuperate at home. The doctor said that there is no serious problem. In the later stage, as long as he takes care of himself, pays attention to diet, nutrition and exercise, he will be cured if the infection does not recur.Now Jiang Yunying is the main labor force in the family.Qingmoss Village and even the entire Xiba Town are relatively backward in agricultural operations. Although harvesters have entered the town in the past two years, the rest of the work still depends on manpower.It is naturally very difficult for a woman to take on all the farm work in the field. Of course, she has two sons, but the younger son has just entered high school and can't help the family with anything. Besides, they don't want Chen Hao to go to the field to do farm work.Times have changed now, and they are no longer their generation. Although not many people in a village can finally enter high school, the proportion is much higher than before. This is hope, and it is related to whether they can stand out in the future.

It can be said that the Chen family pinned their entire expectations on Chen Hao.Chen Hao is their hope.It's a difficult time at home now, but they don't want Chen Hao to be affected by these things in his studies.These troublesome things, they, the parents, can bear it.

As for the eldest son Chen Quan, Chen Zhihua and his wife also discussed it in private. The eldest son of their family doesn't ask him how capable he will be in the future. Children and half daughters, when they grow old, they will be accompanied by their wives and their children will take care of them. It is enough to be ordinary, and the two elders can feel relieved.

Chen Quan could see the current situation at home clearly. He knew what to do without having to ask the family.Chen Zhihua is still sick in bed, and Chen Hao is still young. He is 23 years old, one of the older ones, and he is a man who can take on the heavy responsibilities of the family.He asked for leave with the company and used all the leave in the second half of the year, and then he returned to Qingmoss Village to help his family with farming.

Fortunately, the company said that after all, Chen Quan usually worked hard, and the supervisor Zhao Nan helped him speak, so the superior reluctantly approved this vacation.

It was the Lu family that gave Chen Quan a headache.

Farming is busy for at most ten days, and these ten days will definitely not be easy, but if you run up and down every day, and turn upside down every night, I am afraid that even Iron Man can't bear it.Chen Quan euphemistically told Lu Dongtang that he would go home for a while, and he would come back when he was done with work.Lu Dongtang looked at him blankly at the time, making his backs shudder.

Lu Dongtang is not an unreasonable person, he just talks less, is colder, speaks more directly and does things more directly, and is too lazy to talk nonsense.Now that Chen Quan talked to him nicely, he naturally wouldn't forcefully dismiss it.After all, Lu Dongtang still has a little bit of humanity, he is not the kind of cruel, cruel and merciless person.

"Mr. Lu, did you really agree?" Chen Quan still couldn't believe it, and always felt that it was unrealistic.

Naturally, Lu Dongtang would not say it a second time. His subordinates stroked Chen Quan's firm belly repeatedly, and looked over with ice-coloured eyes. There was a coldness that no one could understand.Chen Quan was still in a daze, and did not notice Lu Dongtang's actions at the moment.As for whether Lu Dongtang agreed in the end, Chen Quan was actually not sure at first, because he couldn't grasp this person's mind, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw someone nodding at this time.

……

Chen Zhihua, the second son of Chen, had a serious illness this year and was hospitalized for surgery. The Chen family brothers were not bad, and they helped a lot during this period, which is fine on weekdays, but this is a busy farm with too much work. Later, he came to Chen's family to help out with his own food.Aunts and aunts were busy at home, so uncles and uncles came to Chen's house to help.Chen Quan went to the fields to harvest and dry in the sun every day.

On the seventh day of the National Day, Chen Hao went home on vacation, and it was impossible for him to do nothing. His brother and several uncles were all busy in the fields outside, so he took on the task of cooking every day, although the taste was not good in the end. Okay, but it can always reduce the burden on the family. For this reason, his uncles also praised Chen Hao, saying that the boy has finally grown up and knows how to help the family.

Chen Hao was very proud, and the corners of his mouth were curled up in joy, that is, I can't let my brother suffer alone, right, I am the man of the family.

Third Uncle Chen Zhimin sprayed him: "Only you kid still wants to compare with your brother, it's far behind."

Chen Hao said unconvinced: "It's so far away, what my brother can do, there is nothing I can't do, third uncle, you must be too small for me."

Chen Zhimin puffed out a puff of cigarette, and said, "That afternoon, you and Uncle Three will go to the field to beat millet for a while, not much, just half an hour. , when your brother was your age, he could go to the field with a sickle and join us in cutting the grain, and he was a thief, can you do it?"

Chen Hao blushed: "Just go, who is afraid of whom, brother, I will also cut the wheat in the afternoon, and I will go with you!"

Chen Quan was sitting at the table, eating peanuts with one hand, pouring beer with the other, watching the brat being washed by his third uncle with a smile on his mouth, and the fatigue in his whole body was dispelled a lot.It has been a few days of busy farming, and I have been in and out of the scorching sun every day, the lines of my cheeks have become clearer, and my forehead is wet with sweat. It is not easy to look at.

"Don't tell me, if your kid faints due to heatstroke, I will be responsible for carrying you back."

Everyone laughed.

Jiang Yunying brought the last dish of twice-cooked meat to the table, and scolded Chen Hao at the same time: "You, let's separate the millet and wheat before we talk about it! Hey, these are for serving guests, so save some of them!"

Chen Hao picked up the delicious twice-cooked pork with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, but he screamed loudly after being scalded. He couldn't bear to vomit, and said with a puffy mouth: "Here, Ali has guests here! They are all from Kazakhs!" Chen Hao shouted After that, he immediately looked around for water to drink, scalding him to death.

"Hey," Chen Quan yelled, and shook his head helplessly. There was really nothing he could do with his younger brother.Chen Hao finished his brother's beer in one gulp, still not satisfied, and finally looked at his brother innocently with his big eyes blinking, hehe.

Uncle Chen Zhiguo was also eating at the side. He tapped Chen Hao with his chopsticks, which meant that you really had enough, kid.

After Jiang Yunying finished her work, she went to the room to look at Chen Zhihua who was eating. Chen Zhihua couldn't come out to eat now, so he had brought the food in earlier.

Jiang Yunying came out and went to the table to eat.

"By the way, I heard a while ago that we are going to build a road here, which seems to lead to the city. Have you heard about it?"

Chen Zhimin took a sip of beer and said disdainfully: "Brother, I didn't say that. I have heard such news many times in the past, but which time did I take it seriously? How little money is allocated by the top to build roads every year? The road has been repaired long ago, so why wait until now? Let me see, Xuan.” The money has already entered the pockets of some people layer by layer.

Jiang Yunying also nodded and said: "Zhimin is right. It is difficult for us to change this place. Like a few years ago, I heard that we are going to build a playground here. In the end, where in the city did we go? It has been repaired, and now that area is well developed."

Chen Zhiguo took a deep puff of a cigarette: "When I mention this, I get angry. You may not know the inside story. I heard from friends outside that our Xiba Town was reserved for the amusement park back then, and the boss was very optimistic about it. The land was all promising, but as a result, some officials in the Xiba town government felt that there was not enough money, so they desperately raised the price, and finally drove the big boss away, hey."

Chen Quan had heard about this before. Many people thought that the amusement park was the last thing they left because they saw that their remote place had no future.

Xiba Town is indeed remote, and the surrounding development is not very good, so it is a very rare opportunity to meet a big boss who is willing to invest in the construction here.Most places are not prosperous places at the beginning, but they develop slowly and improve step by step.Now it seems that the government of Xiba Township is the key to this.

"Is there no one to sue? How long can such a big matter be concealed?" The state allocates at least 20 million yuan for rural construction every year. In the end, there is no change in the year, so you are not afraid of being exposed.

Chen Hao also understood a little bit, and tapped his chopsticks aside and said: "Brother, you won't think about it, you think about it, I didn't even say the money at first, who knew I had this money, if When someone asked me, I said no, and said that the top has not been dialed down yet, and no one dares to do anything to you."

Chen Quan frowned, feeling that this was not the case.

"Nephew, you are the most naive, do you really think you can hide this?" Chen Zhimin chewed his cigarette, shaking his legs, and said, "There is no airtight wall in the world, but there are countless pairs of eyes watching it. It's on."

Chen Quan skipped a beat in his heart, calmed down and continued to listen to Chen Zhihua, "All the officials are smart, do you think they can't think of this? They have thought about it a long time ago, so how can people catch their tails. Seeing our village Is the big road built in front of my son still alive? It is said that I borrowed tens of thousands of dollars to build that road. Damn it, it cost a million dollars just for that broken road? I will also go to build the road tomorrow. This is good Yes, what should I do if I owe a debt, and I will pay it back with the money allocated by the state every year."

Chen Zhiguo nodded: "Not only that, the forces behind the government officials should not be underestimated. Who can move them? Everyone just turns a blind eye and closes their eyes, and only cares about filling their own pockets. As for those small officials with no power or power, when Retire in three to five years, who will be responsible in the future?"

This kind of thing, at a big scale, is corruption, and at a low level, it is selfish.This happened not only in Xiba Town, but also in many places, but this cannot be avoided. Wherever there are people, there will be competition for profit.

For the Chen family, these things are just for after-dinner conversation, and they are really meaningless.

……

With the help of all the uncles, the Chen family also quickly completed the autumn harvest, and only waited for the millet to be dried and stored in the warehouse.

That night, Chen Quan was wearing a vest and was washing his hair in the courtyard. Jiang Yunying helped Chen Zhihua wash up and came out to pour water.

Jiang Yunying said: "Chen Quan, your father just told me that your boss who helped our family has to treat him to a meal no matter what, just thank you."
