smoke from cooking

Zhang Yue walked in the middle, Zhang Sun was behind.

Zhang Ri was hungry and walked behind alone again, feeling more and more wronged in his heart.The stomach is empty, and it takes all the strength of the whole body to take a step.At first, she could barely keep up with Nan Shu, but then her body swayed with one step, and finally her legs and feet went limp, and she fell to the ground with a plop.

"Ama, Ama." Zhang Ri burst into tears, his hands and feet hurt so much, and his head was so dizzy, "Ama, Ama, it hurts, it hurts."

Nan Shu heard Zhang Ri's cry, looked back, and found that the child was lying on the ground with hands and feet, and there was a trace of mud on the raised face.Nan Shu felt pain in her heart, but she didn't move her feet. She only told Zhang Chu, "Are there any boiled eggs at home? If so, give me two."

Zhang Chu kept yelling yes, grabbed his younger brother with one hand, and ran home immediately.

After the Zhang brothers ran away, Nan Shu walked up to Zhang Ri, helped the child up, and wiped Zhang Ri's face with a handkerchief.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Zhang Ri buried his little face between Nan Shu's legs and didn't answer.

"Do you know it's wrong?" Nan Shu held up her little head, not letting Zhang Ri escape.

"I know." Zhang Ri puffed up his mouth, and answered vaguely.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Ri made a bitter face and didn't answer.

Nan Shu knew that she should not be pushed too fast, so she hugged Zhang Ri and comforted her softly, "You look down on the Zhang brothers and put your contempt on your face. You think that old Zhang is respectful and polite to Ama, so you think you are better than the Zhang brothers. Higher class, isn't it?"

Zhang Ri lowered his head and didn't answer.Zhang Ri is not stupid, Nan Shu asked him if he knew he was wrong, and he guessed that Ama didn't like his attitude towards the Zhang brothers, but it was not his fault, it was the truth.

"Look at this field. The income of the Zhang family depends entirely on it. Your clothes, food, and your brother's income for a year all depend on this field. Who is farming this field, it is the Zhang brothers and Old Zhangtou father and son."

"You can find someone else to breed." Zhang Ri lowered his head and spoke very quickly.However, Nan Shu grasped the key words sensitively.

"Of course you can find someone else. Then you treat others with the same attitude, and then drive them away. Are you going to continue the cycle and keep looking for others?"

"I didn't say I was going to drive people away." She still answered vaguely, but raised her small head, and looked at Nan Shu flickeringly.

"Silly boy, Zhang and his son have been farming for many years, and they understand this land better than you, me, or anyone else. Even if you didn't drive them away, your contempt for them is enough to make them careless when farming. Think about it, if you cultivate an acre of land with your heart, you can produce a basket of rice, but if you are perfunctory, it may only be half a basket. Think about it, who will lose in the end? Since you want the other party to work for you wholeheartedly, you can’t This is the first thing to be contemptuous of. The second is that three people must have my teacher. You have heard this. Zhang and his son are familiar with farming, and you are far inferior to others in this regard. The strengths of others, You should learn from your own shortcomings."

Zhang Ri opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but Nan Shu stopped him.

"You want to say that you don't need to know about farming, you don't need to study, because you don't need to farm at all. Right?"

Zhang Ri bulged his mouth and nodded reluctantly.

"If someone tells you that one mu of land can only harvest one-third of a basket of rice, do you believe it or not?"

Zhang Ri opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Nan Shu.

"If you don't know how to farm, you will be bullied casually. What others say is what they say. There is no evidence to refute the facts. The Zhang family is not a big family, and they live on this ten mu of land. The harvest is good, Naturally, life is going well, but if the harvest is not good, the life of the three of us, father and son, will be difficult. So, not only I need to know, but you are my eldest son, and the person who will inherit the family business in the future must know even more."

Zhang Ri was speechless.Zhang Ri seems to understand what Nan Shu said, but only knows that Ama said that Zhang's father and son are very important to them, and they should learn from them.Do you want to treat them as teachers when learning something?Although Zhang Ri has not received enlightenment, he has also heard that the person who teaches knowledge is Mr., and Mr. must be respected.

Zhang Ri was very conflicted, should he respect the Zhang family father and son?

Nan Shu didn't know if her explanation was appropriate.The children who grew up in the city are most worried about their eyes above the top, supercilious, thinking that they are the best in the world, but in fact they are nothing.Zhang Ri already had this tendency, and he had to correct it.But now, it seems that the effect of this teaching is not obvious.

amusement

coo.

Nan Shu's entanglement didn't last long, and Zhang Ri's little belly sang a little song loudly.The child was blushing, covering his belly, his mouth wriggling.

Nan Shu hugged Zhang Ri heartbroken, "Wait a minute, Zhang Chu has already returned home, and he will have eggs to eat soon. Good boy, wait a minute."

Zhang Ri swallowed, put his arms around Nan Shu's neck, "Ama, I'm hungry."

Nan Shu's heart ached, she secretly blamed herself for not just being angry and forgetting to sneak out a small snack.It is impossible to fill the stomachs of children temporarily now.

"This is the flower fruit from Xiaoshan Village." Zhang Ri's eyes flashed, and a red fruit was placed in front of him.The little belly was bulging unsatisfactorily, and the noise became louder and louder.Zhang Ri looked up and found that it was the man who sent Ama to the doctor that day.

At this moment, Nan Shu also raised her head, seeing that it was You Ning, Nan Shu was unwilling in her heart, and turned her body sideways, trying to avoid him.

"The child is hungry, this can last for a while. People in the small mountain village eat this kind of flower and fruit, don't worry, this kind of flower and fruit can be eaten even on an empty stomach."

Cuckoo, the sound of Zhang Ri's stomach seems to be louder.

You can't starve your children even if you are hungry.Nan Shu took the flowers and fruits in You Ning's hands, and was looking for a place to wash them, but found that the skins of the fruits had already been cleaned.Nan Shu handed it to Zhang Ri, and asked the child to hold it and bite.

Nan Shu looked at You Ning and didn't know what to say for a while.It was You Ning who broke the silence first, "The fields of Zhang You and his family are next to each other. I want to go to the fields to have a look."

"Oh, that's right, we are going too, but..."

"Let's go together."

Nan Shu's words were cut off by You Ning before she could finish her sentence.Nan Shu looked at the direction in which the Zhang brothers ran back, and estimated the time it would take them to go back and forth.Before Nan Shu could figure out why, You Ning spoke again.

"Just walk around the field. When the brothers come back, it will be easy to find you."

Nan Shu looked around.Indeed, the endless fields are divided by the small roads that two people walk side by side. It is really easy for the Zhang brothers to find the three of them.Now Nan Shu didn't even have any reason to evade.

"it is good."

Nan Shu had just agreed, but You Ning had already picked up Zhang Ri who was trying to eat flowers and fruits.Under Nan Shu's astonished eyes, she answered unhurriedly, "There are muddy roads and puddles, and children will be fine walking for a while, but after a long time, they are easy to fall."

Nan Shu looked down at the path, then at Zhang Yue, and sure enough, the little shoes were covered with muddy water.Nan Shu simply picked up Xiao Zhangyue by herself.Only in this way, it becomes You Ning and Nan Shu walking side by side.Nan Shu was unwilling again.

"Want to see black rice?" How could You Ning give a chance? Nan Shu hesitated, and immediately attacked the child.

"Think!" Zhang Ri Zhangyue said in unison, they didn't forget the problem in the car.

"I'll take you to see Heimi." You Ning hugged Zhang Ri and strode forward.Nan Shu stomped her feet, and followed closely while Zhang Yue kept waving her little hands to urge her.

"This is black rice." You Ningyao pointed to the green and yellow seedlings on the field.

"Green, Amma is green."

"How do you know that these are black rice. Or you are lying to us." The little guy Zhang Ri asked immediately.

You Ning took a meaningful look at Zhang Ri, "Why do you think I'm lying to you. I said yes, these are naturally."

"Because you bullied me and Zhang Yue didn't understand." After the child finished speaking, he blinked his eyes, looked at Nan Shu, and didn't speak.

"Then let's ask someone." You Ning crossed the field path, walked quickly to the other side of the field, and found a man who was farming, "Uncle, what is growing in the field over there?"

The man looked up at the clothes of several people, wiped his sweat, "What else can it be? It's not black rice grown by big families in the city."

Zhang Ri pursed his small mouth, turned his head to one side and did not speak.You Ning went to another field and asked the old man who was farming on the ground, and got the same answer.

Nan Shu, who was lagging behind, saw You Ning running around asking people what to plant on the ground, her heart skipped a beat, and her pace unconsciously slowed down.When You Ning hugged Zhang Ri and returned to the path, he saw that the child's mouth was tightly closed, and he refused to eat the flowers and fruits in his hands, and his eyes were looking at the green and yellow seedlings on the field.

"Well, why not black, the food at home is all black."

For a long time, the child asked vaguely.

"After the black rice matures, the granules produced are indeed black, so the folks named it black rice, but what you see is the black rice when it is young. Gradually, the stalks grow up until the stalks turn light yellow. At this time, the stalks on the ground can be harvested. After harvesting, threshing, grinding, and three processes will produce the black rice grains you see. "

You Ning's unhurried tone explained for Zhang Ri.The child frowned, he understood everything You Ning said, but when combined, he didn't fully understand it.The rice is cyan, and when it grows, it will be black.Zhang Ri bit his lip and looked at Nan Shu eagerly.

Nan Shu nodded, "Remember it well."

Zhang Ri nodded, "Black rice is not black. I was wrong."

You Ning didn't let the child completely immerse himself in disappointment, and pointed to the other half of the field, "That's plant ash. Farmers use plant ash to store up the fields.
