leisurely farming life

So one morning, the two of them worked together to turn over a small area. The problem was that both of them were out of breath and seemed about to fall down.

"My lord, are you hungry? Let's go back and come back after eating..." Xiaoyun said angrily, holding a hoe.

Cheng Qing looked at the sun, he was afraid he would suffer from heat stroke if he went down, he looked at Wang Zhili's side again, he didn't know when he had left, did he go back to eat?

"Okay, let's go back first..."

When they got home, the two of them washed up, Xiaoyun went to cook, and Cheng Qing was outside in the yard, wondering if he could finish the land.

Cheng Qing, who was lying on the bed at night, finally knew, no!After lunch, I went to the field to dig the soil again. As a result, half of the field was turned.

In other words, if he wanted to save that place, he might need half a month, but after half a month, he didn't know if he was still alive or not.

The next day, Cheng Qing told Xiaoyun not to go, and he could go alone.Xiaoyun refused and insisted on following. Cheng Qingyu persuaded her earnestly: "Okay, you can cook at home. Seeing that you are about to collapse, who will take care of me when you collapse?"

"But the son is alone..."

"Trust your son, you just take care of the house." After finishing speaking, Cheng Qing took the hoe and went out.

He hasn't done coolies for more than 20 years. Yesterday, he used up all his strength for more than 20 years. Now his whole body is about to disperse. In order not to worry Xiao Yun and also for his own land, Cheng Qing has taken great pains. .

However, when he went to the field and saw Wang Zhili working in his field, he was dumbfounded.

"Brother Wang, did you go to the wrong place?"

Hearing Cheng Qing's voice, Wang Zhili looked back and saw that it was Cheng Qing who came, stopped what he was doing, wiped his face with a towel, and said, "I saw that you only did so much yesterday, you are a double Unlike men, I will help you if there is nothing in the field."

Cheng Qing was very grateful, but felt embarrassed: "I'll come, if Brother Wang is fine, go home, I can do it."

"If you have time to talk, let's work." Wang Zhili ignored Cheng Qing and bent down to continue working.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Cheng Qing could only roll up his sleeves and hoe the ground because it was not easy to force him to leave when he came to help him with work.

Sure enough, it was a man whose work was worth ten pairs of feet. One morning, he saw that his land had been turned over. Cheng Qing rubbed his sore waist and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wang, this land Finally turned it over!"

Wang Zhili nodded, walked to the field in silence, and squatted in the corner doing something.

Cheng Qing walked over curiously and asked, "Brother Wang, what are you doing?"

"Irrigate water." Wang Zhili explained: "Your land is too dry, and there has been a lot of sun recently, so let some water come in. Then drain the water at night, so that the soil will be fertile."

"So it's like this..." Cheng Qing suddenly realized: "Brother Wang, can I grow cabbage here?"

Wang Zhili paused his digging hand, and his tone changed: "Are you going to use this land to grow cabbage?"

"Can't you?" Cheng Qing also squatted down and picked his mouth together.

"No." Wang Zhili stood up, let the water flow into the ground from the small river next to him, glanced at Cheng Qing, and said, "Okay, drain the water before leaving at night. I'm leaving..."

"Brother Wang, go to my house for dinner, you did me such a big favor today!"

"Inappropriate." Wang Zhili went to the river to wash his hands, and then left.

inappropriate?Cheng Qing suddenly realized that he was an unmarried couple, and Wang Zhili was an unmarried man, how dare he bring them home?

It was the first time Cheng Qing made such a slip of the tongue, looking at the back of Wang Zhili leaving, Cheng Qing really wanted to explain, he is not that kind of person, he just forgot, really forgot...

But people obviously took him for that kind of person...

Cheng Qing returned home dejectedly. Seeing him like that, Xiao Yun thought he was frustrated that he hadn't finished the game, so she came up to comfort him: "My lord is fine, there is still a long time to go!"

"Um……"

After Wang Zhili arrived home, Wang Xiaoshan had already put the hot food in the kitchen on the table, and when he saw Wang Zhili came back, he said, "Father, why did you come back so late today?"

Wang Zhili didn't return to him, but went to the next room, put the farm tools in order, then went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then returned to the front of the hall, served two bowls of rice for the two of them, and asked Wang Xiaoshan to sit down and eat.

"There is something going on in the field today."

Wang Xiaoshan also got used to his father's habits, so he ate obediently and didn't say any more.

Wang Zhili looked at his son's shoes while eating, and asked, "Did you not go to school today?" His tone could not be heard with emotion.

"En." Wang Xiaoshan nodded.

"why?"

"do not like."

Wang Zhili didn't let Wang Xiaoshan go to the school to let him grow up to be a scholar. In fact, he just wanted him to learn Braille, so that he wouldn't be like him in the future, trapped in the village and unable to get out.

But Wang Xiaoshan really didn't like going to the school, saying that the teacher's lectures in the school were boring, that the students didn't like to talk to him, and that the school was dilapidated and the tables were broken.

Anyway, there were all sorts of reasons, but in a few words he just didn't want to go, and Wang Zhili had nothing to do with him.

"Forget it, I've told you several times, since you're still like this, I won't say any more, and you'll be worthless in the future, don't say I won't teach you."

Wang Xiaoshan pawed at the rice and nodded silently, feeling very happy in his heart.

"Father, are you going into the mountains this afternoon? I want to go into the mountains with you!"

Wang Zhili wanted to nod at first, he would go to the mountains every two or three days to sell wild food, but today, thinking of those thin hands, he couldn't bear it. , let's help a little bit.

"I have something to do today, so I won't go in."

"Oh..." Wang Xiaoshan lowered his head dejectedly, but Wang Zhili said, "Tomorrow will enter..."

Wang Xiaoshan laughed immediately: "Good!"

On the way to the field in the afternoon, Cheng Qing was always anxious.Wang Zhili's help today was beyond his expectation, what if he still comes in the afternoon?

Although he knew that Wang Zhili was a good person, he only helped because he was small and thin, but he still didn't like to show affection, he didn't want to owe anyone.

But he didn't say it clearly, it seemed that he was weak and artificial, and he added the meaning of doing things blankly.

This is really embarrassing him...

Sure enough, when Cheng Qing saw a familiar figure in his field again, his head suddenly ached.

Cheng Qing walked over anxiously, Wang Zhili saw him coming, nodded his head and kept moving his hands.

"Brother Wang..."

"Um……"

Cheng Qing coughed, and asked: "Brother Wang's own land is ready? I'm not in a hurry here. If Brother Wang has something to do, I'd better do my own business first..."

Wang Zhili ignored the obvious refusal that he thought was obvious, and just nodded: "Okay..."

"Well, good." Cheng Qing found that he didn't know what to say at all, so he could only take his hoe to the other side and start digging. From time to time, he looked at Wang Zhili behind him, and found that some things that are born are really difficult to change the day after tomorrow. .

Like this strength.Cheng Qing ho Chi ho Chi worked so hard to open the field for more than an hour, but Wang Zhili opened it in a quarter of an hour. At this moment, he has to think about whether he can farm the land. .

When Cheng Qing was thinking hard, Wang Zhili had already driven beside him. Wang Zhili looked at Cheng Qing in a daze, sighed softly, and bowed his head to work.

Wang Zhili looked at the almost cultivated fields, collected the farm tools, and said to Cheng Qing, who was still working hard, "Have you finished the seeds?"

"Seeds?" Cheng Qing nodded: "It's ready, I just bought it."

"Soaked in water?"

Cheng Qing nodded: "When I come out in the afternoon, I will let my sister Xiaoyun soak it carefully. It should not be too long or too short. I think the seeds should be soaked when I go back..."

Wang Zhili didn't talk nonsense: "In this case, we can sow seeds tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he took his farm tools and left, with Cheng Qing behind him. It's not good to stop, or not to stop.

"What a weird person!" Cheng Qing muttered: "But he is also a good person. He has helped me a lot in the past few days. If he didn't click back, it seems that he owes something, but seeing that he doesn't make money, I never like to owe favors How should this be done?"

"Young master, isn't this simple? Doesn't he have a son, Wang Xiaoshan? It's unseemly for Wang Zhili. If you give it to Wang Xiaoshan, it won't disturb the atmosphere and return favors. Snatch the thing from his son's mouth and return it to the young master?"

Cheng Qing was still thinking about this matter when he went home, and even got no food because of it. Xiao Yun, who was so worried, racked his brains and came up with this way of repaying his gratitude.

Sure enough, Cheng Qing's eyes lit up: "That's right, it's over if I give Xiao Shan!"

Xiaoyun smiled: "Since the young master understands the matter in his heart, he can eat raw. These are the dishes sent to us by Aunt He from the next door. I don't want it, but Aunt He said that she would look down on her if she didn't take it, so I accepted it, look at it, my lord, the thing is really fresh!"

"Aunt He's house?"

"Well, son, don't ignore Aunt He's kindness, eat more."

Cheng Qing smiled and nodded, and before eating, he did not forget to ask Xiaoyun to make some pastries and send them to Aunt He's house.

The next day Cheng Qing got up early again, took the seeds soaked by Xiaoyun to sow the seeds, Cheng Qing deliberately looked at the neighbor, Wang Zhili was not there.

Sowing seeds is much simpler and easier than cultivating. Within half an hour, Cheng Qing had sown all the seeds in his hand.

But after sowing all the seeds, Cheng Qing realized that his land seems to be too much, and he only sowed a small part of the land with these seeds.

This worries Cheng Qing again, so what kind of land is suitable for this large piece of land?

Cheng Qing looked at the seedling field next door, thinking about it.

On the way back, Cheng Qing ran into Aunt He, who was going to wash clothes by the stream with a bucket of clothes, when she met Cheng Qing, Aunt He also greeted enthusiastically: "Cheng Qing, what are you doing here ?”
