It was all dark, and the recovered corn was pulled home in carts, and the several granaries built in the backyard came in handy.

"This year's corn cobs are growing well, even better than previous years." Uncle Xiu held a large corn cob nearly a foot long in his hand, and he was in a particularly good mood as he pinched the full corn kernels on it.

Farmers just hope for a bumper harvest of their own grain. Seeing the golden and plump tassels makes their hearts sweeter than eating honey.

"Yeah." Xiu Tianyu knew that it was because of the well water in Han Zhen's immortal place. Every time he came to the field, he did not sprinkle well water, so the food and vegetables in his field this year were particularly good, and the corn stalks They are all half a foot taller than others.

Because the family didn't grow too much corn, I didn't borrow a harvester. The few members of the family could clean up all the land within a few days.But where did Han Zhen do this kind of heavy work before? By the end of the night, he was so tired that he couldn't move his feet. Now he was lying on Xiu Tianyu's back and dozing off.

Xiu Tianyu turned his back up again, and continued chatting with his father.

"How is your factory? I heard that you have collected a lot of things, so don't throw them all away." Uncle Xiu was worried.

"His brother said it's okay, he can go to the supermarket to shop, don't worry, as long as our family guarantees the quality." Xiu Tianyu's voice was low, and he heard Han Zhen's breathing on his back, knowing that the child had already fallen asleep. caught.

"That's it, wait until the beans are all back, and let your mother take their old women to make miso. Don't let Han Zhen come to the field tomorrow, look at the child tired... Taobao has also stopped these days Forget it." Uncle Xiu looked at Han Zhen's haggard little face and felt distressed. You see, your eldest girl is still alive and kicking after a busy day, but Han Xiaozhen is a baby from the city. She is very delicate. I was tired from running back and forth, and after another day of farm work, I guess I was exhausted enough.

Xiu Tianyu smiled, Han Zhen's temper is not because he said he would not come if he didn't let him, at worst, let him be responsible for collecting the stick tomorrow, and don't do anything else.

"Also, it's getting colder day by day, don't put more water in those tanks in your factory, don't freeze and crack." Uncle Xiu reminded again.

"Yeah, I told them about this. After it's frozen, I don't want to make those pickles and pickles. I'm busy with mushroom sauce. By the way, Han Zhen said that he will charge more peanuts later, and put the peanuts in the sauce."

"Take it, take some more sesame seeds." Uncle Xiu agreed.

Xiu Tianyu thought for a while, and then asked, "Do we still have glutinous rice?" Glutinous rice is what others call glutinous rice, which is used for steaming and cutting cakes to make dumplings or ground into noodles for rolling Lantern Festival.

"Not much, right? There aren't many people in our family who can eat it, and the rest was planted last year, and nothing was planted this year, what's wrong?" Uncle Xiu asked.

Xiu Tianyu thought about the dim sum list that Han Zhen gave him, many of which were made of glutinous rice noodles, so he said, "Han Zhen likes to eat."

"Sure, go buy some after eating. I like to plant two acres of land next year. It's not bad. Our family didn't grow yellow rice this year. I think we can grow some yellow rice next year. Steam sticky bean buns to eat." Uncle Xiu As soon as he heard that Han Zhen liked him, he was absolutely fine. Although he couldn't accept his son's liking for men at the beginning, Han Zhen was so capable and caring, and he was a lucky star. Now he didn't feel any pain. Knowing why it hurts, isn't it too simple to want to eat something?

"By the way..." Uncle Xiu asked again: "Has the braised pork been sent to their family? What do you say there?"

"I sent it. I said it was very good. Let me send some more. I'm thinking about sending a complete set later. Also, the one next door to our shop will quit after the Chinese New Year. I will look back and spend some money to buy it." Let's just make lo mei." Xiu Tianyu pondered for a while and said: "Third Aunt is probably too busy, if I really do it, I have to hire someone."

Uncle Xiu knew that these things in his house were all recipes found by Han Zhen, and other people's houses didn't have them.Since this is the case, then to find someone, you have to find an honest person you know well, don't steal the formula and go away, you will be afraid.

"Let's look again, your third aunt is also busy now, and your third uncle has taken care of all the land in the house, and the couple are too tired. Our family has too few brothers, if there are more, it won't be like this." Uncle Xiu sighed .

Although there are a lot of people with the surname Xiu in this village, most of them are out of five clothes, and most of them go out to work, and very few people stay in the village.Uncle Xiu’s parents had three children, a girl and two boys, but when they were poor, one of the boys died, and the girl was sent away. Now they are married in Fujian, and they haven’t seen each other for several years. Now they are the only ones left. Alone, always feel alone.

In the past, people had too many children, but now many young people in the village get married and die with only two children. If they have too many children, they can't afford to support them. As long as they go to school, they have to spend money, and if they don't go to school, they will spend their whole lives in the village.Now rural people also know the benefits of being educated, even if they just go to high school or technical secondary school, they have to pay for it. If they are educated, they can find a job in an office when they go out to work, and the salary is high, which is better than farming at home. If there are too many, at least the harvest will be guaranteed in drought and flood.

"Actually, I just want the big girl to come back to help, but I think this child is studying well, so don't delay... Hey." Uncle Xiu was also entangled.

"Big girls have to go to college, even if they come back after graduating from college, they have to go to college. Look at Xu Tao and the others, they are all college students, they know a lot, and they can also speak English. Everything is technical, which is better than ours. It's much better." Xiu Tianyu didn't agree to let the big girl come back, and it was hard for their family to produce a scholar.

"It's no use for this girl to read too many books, she'll have to get married sooner or later." Uncle Xiu muttered.

"Then if you don't study, marry a farmer, and you can find a better partner after studying, can that be the same?" Xiu Tianyu retorted: "Dad, don't always think about the big girl getting married sooner or later. Do you want her to marry someone from the village? Then she will be exhausted every day..."

"Hey...then I'll go back and ask your mother. She has many sisters, but she doesn't move around very often." Uncle Xiu changed the subject.

Aunt Xiu's family has five sisters, and only one elder brother is over 70.In addition, she was also married from another village, so when a woman is married, she will move less with her natal family, and she will not see her a few times throughout the year.

The father and son chatted all the way, and Da Huang ran out to pick him up before they reached the door.Uncle Xiu patted Rhubarb's head, then took out a cigarette and lit it, and quickly got one before entering the house.

Aunt Xiu and Da Niu are busy in the kitchen, and now that there are guests at home, they have to prepare a table of good dishes no matter what.

Yue Xiaohui took care of the child in the house, and the little boy was not very talkative like his father, so he sat in the corner of the kang and carefully read the comic books given to him by the big girl, not sure if he understood it or not.

Xiu Tianyu entered the room and put Han Zhen on the kang, and asked, "Where is my comrade-in-arms?"

"You and your brother are taking up positions in the backyard, what's wrong with Han Xiaozhen?" Yue Xiaohui put down the marinated eggs she was eating, grabbed a towel to wipe her hands, and helped Xiu Tianyu help Han Zhen to lie down.

"Tired and fell asleep." Xiu Tianyu smiled.

Han Zhen moved and woke up.He opened his eyes and found that he had already entered the house, feeling very embarrassed.

Yue Xiaohui saw the person woke up, so she laughed and said, "Did you fall asleep from exhaustion? Did you sleep on the ground with a stick?"

Han Zhen also laughed, "No..."

"Sleep a little longer?" Xiu Tianyu asked.

"Don't sleep anymore." Han Zhen sat up and rubbed his eyes, then turned his head and saw the child in the corner of the kang.

The child was looking at him with wide eyes, but when he saw the other party looking over, he quickly lowered his head again.

"Tang Chenyue, the child of my comrade-in-arms." Seeing that he was awake, Xiu Tianyu patted his head and said, "I'll go to the backyard to help, you wash your face and rest for a while."

"Yeah." Han Zhen got off the kang and went to the outer room to wash his face, and the backyard was busy pouring corn into the barn.Adjust the railings on the outside of the warehouse while tilting to ensure ventilation, but also to ensure that it is not damp, and then stacked high, and then it can be threshed and milled after drying.

Xiu's second comrade-in-arms was surnamed Tang, called Tang Meng, and as his name suggested, he looked tall and mighty.But he is good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, double eyelids, deep eye sockets, a bit of southern characteristics, a straight nose, and slightly thick lips.But his left foot was injured, and if he walked in a hurry, he could clearly see the problem.

Tang Chenyue probably looked like his mother, with pretty features, but he was too afraid of giving birth. When his father was not around, he would just hide in the corner and keep silent. As soon as his father entered the house, he would hide beside his father, like a little girl.

Tang Meng was also a taciturn master, except for answering some necessary questions, he basically listened to what others had to say.

Xiu Tianyu was also rude to him, and directly said that the factory was not busy recently, and asked him to help with the work in the field, and then his parents stared at him several times.

"Mom, don't be too polite with Tang Meng. The more polite you are, the more restrained he will be. From now on, everyone who comes in and out will be a family. Naturally, we should do whatever we want." Xiu Tianyu gave Tang Meng another glass of wine, and then introduced himself people.

"Han Zhen, my partner."

Tang Meng raised his glass to Han Zhen, feeling bored.

Han Zhen hurriedly poured a cup of tea, pondered for a while and didn't know how to greet him, so he could only look at Xiu's second child.

The big girl teased Tang Chenyue with the chicken legs, and the little Chenchen leaned half against his father, smiling at her with his mouth pursed, and didn't speak even if he didn't open his mouth to shout.

"His mother throws him home every day and doesn't usually go out. The child has become withdrawn." It was rare for Tang Meng to say a long sentence, and he let out a breath after he finished speaking, as if he had completed a task.

"What are you afraid of being introverted? Let's leave it at home and it will be fine in a few days." Aunt Xiu saw that the child didn't take the initiative to eat, so she took a bowl of meat and stuffed it, "Eat, eat, and don't talk when you are at the dinner table. I'm free, tell grandma what I want to eat."

Tang Chenyue took the bowl, his voice unrecognizable, "Thank you grandma."

"This child is so cute!" Aunt Xiu, who likes children, was very surprised.

"This is Zhou Liangliang, the director of the factory. There is another one who didn't come in the factory, so he has to watch the factory. From now on, you will live in my room and be with Liangliang as a company." Xiu Tianyu said.

"Hello, hello." Zhou Liangliang quickly put down the chicken paw he was chewing on, and stretched out his hand.

Tang Meng stretched out his hand to shake it, but rubbed his greasy hand.

"Hello, Director Zhou."

Zhou Liangliang, who was yelled by Factory Manager Zhou, was very happy. He felt that he was like a local tyrant, so he said proudly, "You will sleep with me from now on. Don't worry, I will sleep honestly!"

Tang Meng twitched the corners of his mouth, always feeling that this sentence didn't sound quite right.

What does it mean to sleep with you?Um?
