A young educated youth who repays his gratitude

The stretches of golden rice fields to the north of the brigade are already at harvest time, and there are figures bending over to cut rice everywhere.

Everyone was sweating profusely, dancing like tigers with sickles, completely ignoring the heat of Qiuhu.

Bai Lele lowered her head to cut the rice, gritted her teeth stubbornly, and the sweat kept slipping off her forehead.

He felt like his waist was going to break.

But he can't say it, let alone show it, so that people can see him forcibly enduring it.

Bai Lele cried secretly in her heart, and it took more than two hours to cut her, and she didn't have the face to say that her back hurts.

He raised his head quietly, looked at Huo Changqing in the distance, and waved his muscular arms a few times.

It's just a small piece of rice falling down.

Er Chengzi, who was next to Huo Changqing, had the same speed as Huo Changqing, and kept advancing at the same speed.

As for Changping and Changan, the two of them also kept their heads down to reap, falling a little behind.

There was only Bai Lele herself, left behind alone, separated by a long distance.

He wiped his face with the towel around his neck, turned his head to look at Baowa who was picking up rice ears in a small basket, and thought bitterly: there is a little baby who is with him behind him.

"Put the rice in the car." Huo Changqing said, "Take it to dry."

Bai Lele was taken aback, not knowing when Huo Changqing would come over, she looked a little dazed for a moment.

"Didn't you hear?" Huo Changqing raised his hand and flicked his forehead, and smiled as Bai Lele covered his head to dodge, "Let you drive the tractor."

"Didn't we pull it together after cutting?" Bai Lele rubbed his forehead, wrinkled his face and said, "There's still a lot."

"No matter how much it is, it is not ours." Huo Changqing said: "There is only one mu of land for [-]% of the land here, and our family's is on the other side."

Looking at Bai Lele's sweating profusely, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe him off, and said softly, "You take Changping, Changan and the others, and pull the rice over there."

Huo Changqing said: "Erchengzi and I are cutting here, and it will be almost finished in one hour."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Bai Lele to speak, he directly greeted Changping Changan and the others, "Come here and load the rice."

Seeing that Bai Lele didn't move, Huo Changqing said amusedly, "Why are you stubborn? Do you still want Changping and Changan to drive tractors?"

Bai Lele came to her senses in a flash, smiled immediately, and happily agreed, "Okay, I'll go."

Huo Changqing said again: "After pulling, go back and cook the rice. We'll go back to eat after cutting."

Bai Lele hesitated, looking at the watch on his wrist, "What time is it? We're cooking."

It's only ten o'clock in the morning, so there's no use cooking so early, and Huo Changqing has already prepared the food in advance.

Just take it out of the fridge and warm it up.

"Go as soon as I tell you." Huo Changqing frowned, as if he felt that his tone was too harsh, and then said in a soft voice: "Be obedient, do as I say, and don't come here with Changping and Changan."

"Hey." Bai Lele agreed, and said again: "I see, I won't let them come over. He knows that Huo Changqing takes care of him, and he finds excuses to arrange work for him, so he might not be happy.

At the same time, I feel sorry for my two younger brothers.

only……

Bai Lele looked at Er Chengzi who was still cutting rice, then looked at Huo Changqing distressedly and said, "Will Er Chengzi go back too? Are you alone?"

"He won't go back." Huo Changqing said, "That's a stubborn donkey. Its wings have become hard when it grows up. Now it won't listen to me."

He was full of complaints, but his expression was gentle and his tone was cheerful.

Obviously not angry.

"He loves you too." Bai Lele smiled and said, "We all want to help you work, you can't take care of everything by yourself."

Not to mention that the rice harvested now is Erchengzi's own, it is Huo Changqing's own field work.

Er Chengzi would not watch Huo Changqing do it by himself.

It's just that no matter how capable he is, Huo Changqing always feels that he is a child, just like Changping and Chang'an.

Huo Changqing didn't want Er Chengzi to do too much, he might be very tired and hurt his body.

After all, Erchengzi is only 15 years old.

"Go." Huo Changqing urged Bai Lele to leave quickly, "We'll be back in a while."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, and while fanning the wind with his straw hat, he walked towards the last bit of rice left.

Bai Lele stood for a while, seeing Huo Changqing bent down to start cutting rice again, so he could only turn around and load the car with Changping Changan and the others.

"Are you tired?" Bai Lele looked at Chang An's cheeks, there were some dark lines, and said with a smile, "Why do you still have a cat face?"

"There's no one who doesn't work." Chang'an didn't care, and said with a smile: "Look at the people around, there is no one who is clean."

"That's right." Bai Lele nodded, and then said to Chang Ping: "Chang Ping, you take Bao Wa home first, and Chang An and I will unload the rice."

"Okay." Chang Ping looked at Bao Wa'er, waved to him and said, "Come here, let's go home."

"I won't go back." Bao Wa'er looked at Huo Changqing, shook his head at Chang Ping and said, "Go back with Dad."

The little guy's cheeks were flushed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the bridge of his nose. He was obviously tired and hot.

"Be obedient." Bai Lele picked him up, coaxed him and said, "Go back and cook for your father, we'll be back in a while."

He gave Baowa to Changping, "You take him back first, we'll go to the drying yard."

……

Bai Lele drove the tractor and pulled the rice to the drying place, but did not go home after unloading.

Instead, he said to Chang'an: "You go back first, and I will pick up your brother and the others."

"I'll go too." Chang'an jumped onto the tractor again, fanning himself with a straw hat in his hand, "Pull the rest over here."

Bai Lele wanted to say something else, but seeing Chang An's determined face, he had no choice but to drive the tractor to the rice fields again.

In this short period of time, Huo Changqing and Er Chengzi cut another piece of land, and it seemed that there was only a little more than one point left.

Without further ado, Bai Lele cut with a sickle, and Chang'an did the same.

When Huo Changqing saw it, his cold face was full of helplessness and distress.

"Erchengzi." Huo Changqing said, "Go and rest for a while, we will cut this point."

"No need." Er Chengzi shook his head, still lowered his head to cut rice, "I'm not tired."

He went to high school in the city, and he didn't have a holiday for farming. This time, he was given a few days off.

It is because of National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

"I can do it for a few days." Er Chengzi wiped his face and said in a muffled voice, "You still have to work for a few more days."

Huo Changqing: "..."

What can he say?

They are all people who want to help me share, and they are also my dearest and favorite people, except for heart-warming.

How could Huo Changqing reprimand him.

He picked up the sickle, "swiped" to cut again, and accelerated the speed again.

As long as he does more, the people he cares about will suffer less.

"It's over." Bai Lele stood up while supporting her waist, and smiled at Huo Changqing: "We can go home together."

"Yeah." Huo Changqing chuckled, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off Bai Lele's forehead, "Let's go home together."

Even if he wants to do it for a while, he can't continue now, and these people must be sent back.

"Load the car." Bai Lele was happy, as if he had won a battle, "We're going home for dinner."

Huo Changqing looked at his cheerful back, his eyes were full of doting, and he willingly listened to Bai Lele's arrangements.

……

But after lunch, he arranged for Bai Lele and the others to take a nap, but he left quietly.

Even though it was hot at noon, Huo Changqing didn't rest for a while, he wanted to take advantage of Bai Lele's rest time.

Strive to do more.

His family has more than three acres of paddy fields. If he works from dawn to dusk, he can harvest them in two days.

Huo Changqing didn't stop for a moment, waving the sickle again and again, trying to do more by himself.

It's just that not long after he started working, he heard an angry shout: "Huo Changqing."

Bai Lele ran up to him angrily, and said angrily, "You don't count what you say."

He accused Huo Changqing of lying to him, sneaking out to work by himself while he was sleeping.

"Don't you know that I love you?" Bai Lele was very angry, and asked Huo Changqing with red eyes: "Don't you know that we all love you?"

"How could you do that?"

Bai Lele couldn't hold back her tears, thinking about how Huo Changqing came here all these years.

His heart ached like it had been gouged out by a knife.

"They're all grown up." Bai Lele choked up and said, "I can help you."

He patted his chest and said with a face of accusation: "And I, although I can't do much work, I can help a little at least."

Bai Lele was furious, and shouted loudly: "Why do you have to reject us, why do you insist on being brave, aren't you tired?"

Huo Changqing: "..."

He sighed helplessly: "I love you too."

Huo Changqing held him in his arms, his eyes were a little hot, and he whispered: "I'd rather be tired than you suffer a little bit."

They are all in the same mood.

But Huo Changqing knew that Bai Lele couldn't stand being tired, and when he first went to the countryside, he always hid quietly in places where no one was around and cried.

In his eyes, Bai Lele couldn't compare to his two little brothers, so how could Huo Changqing let Bai Lele accompany him.

Been working in the fields.

"They are still young in Changping and Chang'an." Huo Changqing said, "No matter how good Er Chengzi is, he is only 15 years old. How can I expect them to do much work?"

"But..." Bai Lele knew that what he said made sense, but it wasn't completely right, "But we can do something more or less, it's better than you alone."

He knew that he was not good at farm work, not to mention Ercheng who was physically strong, even Changping and Changan couldn't match them.

But more or less can do it.

"It's a little bit of help." Bai Lele looked up, looked at Huo Changqing and said, "Even if it's just a little bit, you can't always refuse me."

He pressed Huo Changqing's hand on his chest, and said sadly, "I'm hurting here, do you know?"

The people in the brigade are resting at home at this time, and Huo Changqing is the only one in the whole rice field.

Why didn't Bai Lele feel distressed.

"Okay." Huo Changqing couldn't help it, and hugged Bai Lele tightly in his arms, feeling sour in his heart, "We'll do it together, you stay with me."

Huo Changqing was moved as much as he loved Bai Lele, and he didn't want to reject him at this moment.

No longer put what you think is good on Bai Lele.

"Okay." Huo Changqing wiped his tears with a smile, and teased Bai Lele: "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you're still crying?"

"My tears are shallow." Bai Lele was a little embarrassed, but said firmly, "It doesn't matter how old you are."

"Am I breaking the law by crying? There's no reason for that."

I cry when I want to cry, I can't help but I can't bear it, and there is no rule that it is only children.

Have the right to cry.

"You're right." Huo Changqing quickly admitted that he was wrong, "Cry as much as you want, laugh as much as you want, everyone has the right."

"Hmph." Bai Lele pushed him away, picked up the sickle and said, "Go to work. Let's finish it early and be quick."

He woke up halfway through urinating, and saw that Huo Changqing was not around him.

After looking around inside and outside the house, and looking at the front and back yards again, I guessed that Huo Changqing might have come to work in the rice fields.

So when Erchengzi and the others woke up and came to find him, Bai Lele and Huo Changqing had already mowed almost half an acre of land.

Three more people joined, Bai Lele and the others were faster, and the five of them worked together.

In the evening, an acre and a half was mowed.

When she woke up the next day, Bai Lele felt that her arm was not her own, and her back hurt even worse.

He didn't try to be brave, he kept cutting rice, but rested and rested.

Don't make yourself look so embarrassed.

After harvesting in the afternoon, Bai Lele breathed a sigh of relief and continued working.

He didn't know if he could get up tomorrow.

"You know it's uncomfortable?" Huo Changqing massaged his arm, and said distressedly: "Just let you watch Baowa and help pull the rice. You must listen."

He complained in tone, moved his hands gently, and saw Bai Lele's expressionless expression.

I can't bear to blame more.

"I know I can't do the work." Bai Lele was in pain all over, but he still said: "No one is born destined to be able to do farm work, and they all learn it little by little, and practice it after doing a lot."

"En." Huo Changqing responded lightly, knowing that Bai Lele was right, "I just don't want you to suffer this."

He was used to all of this, and he didn't need Bai Lele to endure hardship for him, he just refused repeatedly.

It will break Bai Lele's heart.

Huo Changqing could only shut up and talk about another matter, "People from the brigade want to borrow a tractor."

"Borrow." Bai Lele immediately agreed, and said, "As long as they help you thresh the grain, there is no need to pay."

He was worrying about this matter, he had to go to work the day after tomorrow, Er Chengzi and the others also had to go to school.

Only Huo Changqing and Bao Waer were left at home.

Huo Changqing had to work and take care of the children at the same time, Bai Lele thought: as long as someone can help Huo Changqing, he can give him money.

"I don't need help from others." Huo Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pinched Bai Lele's cheek and said, "It's not good to ask, let them give some money."

"Where's your uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle's family?" Bai Lele immediately raised her head, and stopped lying on her stomach. "They can't ask for money, can they?"

He stared at Huo Changqing with burning eyes and said, "Can you ask them to help?"

Huo Changqing: "..."

He had never begged anyone else, and he couldn't open his mouth, but he faced Bai Lele.

Huo Changqing couldn't refuse.

He could only say vaguely: "Xingyi will help me when he has time, don't worry."

Bai Lele couldn't tell, even though he still wanted to ask someone for help, he didn't want to embarrass Huo Changqing.

After all, everyone is very busy at this time.

"Then ask for money." Bai Lele waved his hands helplessly, and said with annoyed expression, "It's all my fault for spending too much money, and now I'm still in debt."

He originally planned to buy agricultural machinery, but now there is still a part of the money that has not been repaid, so it was delayed.

"We've worked hard this year." Bai Lele said with a firm face, "I will buy agricultural machinery next year, and I won't suffer so much again."

He put on his shoes and went to the ground, regardless of the soreness in his body, "Let's go to the drying yard, and while everyone is still at home, we can do as much as we can."

The day after tomorrow is October [-]th, Bai Lele and the others have to leave, leaving the rest to Huo Changqing alone.

At this moment, he was so anxious that he wished he could not even sleep, trying to help Huo Changqing finish all the work.
