God said I would meet you

He was fascinated by the sight, when he heard Zhang Xinli calling him behind him: "Have you seen it? Come back after watching it."

Lin Jinyu turned her head and saw that Zhang Xinli had already stepped into the field barefoot, and his red and white pull-back shoes were neatly arranged on the ridge.

"Why don't you wear shoes?" Lin Jinyu asked.

"It's all mud, put on your shoes and go back to wash them?"

Lin Jinyu asked again: "Then why don't you wear slippers?"

Zhang Xinli said: "The slippers you've been wearing on your feet are mine. My dad lent the wood-colored ones to Lalong. I can't wear my mother's."

"Oh." Lin Jinyu thought: No wonder I wear these shoes a size up.

Zhang Xinli turned around and urged Lin Jinyu, "Hurry up, before it's too hot, wait until two or three o'clock when the sun is the most poisonous, and you should rest."

"It's not too hot, it can be said..." Lin Jinyu muttered in a low voice, turned around to find the bamboo basket, and handed him the sickle inside.

After all, Zhang Xinli didn't let him follow him to do the job of cutting the millet. First, Lin Jinyu is a novice, and his efficiency is too slow. Letting him cut it is a waste of a tool. Second, the sickle is sharp, and he is afraid that he will accidentally hurt him. own.

There is no harvester at home, so we can only do it bit by bit by hand.

Wearing Zhang Xinli's shoes, Lin Jinyu stepped on the ridge of the field, followed Zhang Xinli's pace, gathered up the fallen rice bundle by bundle, gathered them into piles, and piled them on the ridge.

The Muse brothers cooperated tacitly, cutting one bundle at a time, and the speed and rhythm were just right, just like a pair of extremely efficient brothers.

Lin Jinyu couldn't do it, Zhang Xinli cut rice as fast as Mu Se, but Lin Jinyu was not as good as the 13-year-old Lalong.He was unfamiliar with hands and was afraid of the heat, so he couldn't keep up with Zhang Xinli's pace at all. He had already cut the fourth row there, and he was still fighting with the rice poles all over the ground in the second row.

A large amount of sweat was expelled from the pores, soaking the clothes.Lin Jinyu's mouth was dry and she kept wanting to drink water.

Zhang Xinli put all his attention on the scythe in his hand. He was always very focused when doing things, and he only did what he should do. Unlike Lin Jinyu, who was half-hearted and half-hearted for three minutes.

Time passed minute by minute under the scorching sun.Seeing that Mu Se's side was almost working together, but their side fell behind a lot because of their delay, Lin Jinyu was a little discouraged.

He straightened up and wiped the sweat off his face, panting heavily under the sun while squinting his eyes to look around, wanting to stop for a while.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you can see an annoying figure squatting on the edge of the field with legs spread apart, holding a blade of grass in its mouth, and pointing around arrogantly.

That was Gao Wu. He was squatting on the edge of the field, commanding his younger brothers to work in the field. Occasionally, when he turned his head, he could see the medical cotton thread sewn on the brow bone.

On the day when he and Zhang Xinli fought, Lin Jinyu was also angry. Looking back afterwards, he could easily understand that all the words, actions, and actions of this guy that day were actually deliberately sowing discord.

This gave Lin Jinyu a [-]% discount on the little sympathy points that Lin Jinyu had generated because of his family's affairs. Now he sees this insidious guy as an object of dislike.

Just as he was silently attacking Gao Wu mentally behind his back with his eyes, this annoying guy suddenly stood up, kicking a pair of flip-flops and walking quickly towards the entrance of the field ridge.

After a while, Lin Jinyu saw Gao Wu helping a woman carrying a bamboo basket back to the spot, and then carefully helped the woman unload the bamboo basket behind her back.

It was a woman in her early thirties, her stomach was a little bit pregnant, but it was not obvious, and she was only about four or five months pregnant.After Gao Wu helped her unload the carrying basket, he said something to her. They were all in squeaky Yi language, which Lin Jinyu couldn't understand. It seemed that he wanted her to rest more.

Beside the woman was a little girl of three or four years old, with long hair, wearing a washed-white rose-red dress, and holding a half-eaten sweet potato in her hand.

Gao Wu picked up the little girl, let her sit on his arm, and scratched her nose, making the little girl laugh happily. Gao Wu also laughed with her, showing two white canine teeth.

Lin Jinyu heard the girl call him "Mazi".It has been half a month since he came here, and he learned a lot of local dialect while hanging out with Lalong, and he can still understand some fragmentary words. "Mazi" means "brother" in Yi language.

Gao Wu's usual look of foolishness and arrogance was gone. He laughed and made funny faces to make his sister laugh, and then let her ride on his neck.

The little girl grabbed his hair, reached out her small hands to his forehead and touched the two scars on Gao Wu's brow bone, a new one and an old one, then pursed her mouth and said something, probably asking him if it hurts.

Gao Wu grabbed his sister's hand and kissed it, then said it didn't hurt.

Probably because Lin Jinyu's gaze was too direct and blatant, Gao Wu seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look over "suddenly", his eyes collided with Lin Jinyu's.

The smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared in an instant, replaced by the gloomy and humble expression that Lin Jinyu was familiar with, with malicious intentions written all over his face.

Gao Wu took his sister off his neck and handed it to his aunt, who asked her to take her daughter to a shady place to rest. Then he stared at Lin Jinyu fiercely and lip-synced to him.

Lin Jinyu saw that the sentence was "Look at your mother".

He looked straight at Gao Wu facing this vicious and malicious gaze, and didn't look away because of his insults from across the air.

Gao Wu scolded him silently, seeing that Lin Jinyu, a bastard, didn't know what to do, so he bent down and picked up a stone half the size of a palm and held it in his hand...

After seeing Gao Wu staring at him for a while, Lin Jinyu bent down to pick up a heavy stone on the edge of the field, straightened up as if about to do something, but suddenly stopped, his gaze went over the top of his head, Looking at someone silently... Gao Wu's lips moved, and his cheeks were slightly puffed up.

After about tens of seconds, Lin Jinyu saw that he threw away the stone in his hand angrily, made a sideways pooh, and spit out the grass leaves in his mouth like a mouthful of phlegm, glared at Lin Jinyu, and compared to him He nodded, then turned and left.

Lin Jinyu was puzzled when he heard Zhang Xinli say to him from behind: "It's past two o'clock, let's rest for a while."

Hearing the sound, he turned around and almost bumped into Zhang Xinli on the spot.

It's all because Zhang Xinli is standing too close, his chest is almost touching his back, it's a ghost if you don't hit him at this distance.

Lin Jinyu staggered and almost fell into the paddy field. Zhang Xinli helped him to barely stand still.

"I'll go, why do you like to stand quietly behind people so much?" Lin Jinyu complained: "It's okay to make a noise, people will have heart attacks because of you."

"Oh, I will remember next time." Zhang Xinli said, "Do you want to rest?"

After being exposed to the sun for half a day, he was already too hot, with waves of hot sweat pouring out of his back, wishing he could grow wings and bring a few icebergs over to lie on his stomach.The repeated movements of bending over and then straightening up made him feel sore and weak in the waist and knees, and there was no energy in his whole body.

rest?It was simply something he wished for.

Lin Jinyu repeatedly replied: "Rest and rest!" Then she rubbed her arms and went to find a shady place by the ridge to sit down.

Zhang Xinli did not go with him, but walked alone to the place where the threshing machine was placed on the other side. With the old-fashioned human-driven roller machine, he threshed the bundles of rice that Lin Jinyu had just piled up in bundles. grain.

It was almost the hottest time of the day, Zhang Wenbin, Mu Se and others stopped one after another, looking for a shady place for a lunch break with their families.

Under the shade of the tree, Lin Jinyu watched Zhang Xinli busy all by himself. Sweat dripped down his cheekbones, gathered on his jaw, and then fell in the steaming heat, smashing to pieces.

His white short sleeves were completely soaked with sweat, revealing the boy's well-defined back.Zhang Xinli stroked his sweaty hair back, and threw aside a large bundle of threshed rice stalks.

Lin Jinyu called him from a distance: "Don't you take a break?"

Zhang Xinli replied to him while working: "It's not finished, let's talk after finishing these, or we can't finish it today."

Lin Jinyu looked around, and found that the work in other people's fields was already at a loss, and the rice stalks that had been packed in large bundles were lying in the wilderness, and the grains were golden.

Probably because he held Zhang Xinli back, he had to work overtime conscientiously while others were resting.

He was a little bit sorry, so he rested for a while, drank some water to relieve the strength, then patted the soil on his body and stood up, walked along the field ridge, pretending to be careless and said: "Hey, what, what do you want me to do?" help you?"

Zhang Xinli slapped the rice stalk swiftly, without turning his head, he said, "Go and rest."

The more polite he was, the more Lin Jinyu became more and more twisted, and felt sorry, so he dawdled behind his buttocks. After following for a while, he said in a twisted voice, "You don't have to be polite to me," he said, "It was originally my wife, too. It’s slow, but more people should be faster, I won’t get in the way, although I really don’t do a good job, but it won’t be a hindrance.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xinli straightened up, frowned slightly and looked at him with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

After a while, he seemed to understand what Lin Jinyu meant, and the lines between his brows became lighter: "I didn't say you were in the way," he said, "It's not your fault that I didn't finish, it's because my parents aren't here, and I'm the only one. Others are family together."

Only then did Lin Jinyu recall the fact that Zhang's father and mother were busy in the fields all day when he first came. In this way, Zhang's father and mother had been away for several days, and Zhang Xinli had been working on the three of them in silence for several days. He never told him about his work, nor forced him to help.

"Go and rest," Zhang Xinli said, "The sun is hot, remember to drink plenty of water, otherwise you will easily suffer from heat stroke."

"Actually...it's okay if I help you." Lin Jinyu said solemnly, "I am happy to do good deeds."
