I was engaged in construction in ancient times

The newly planted seedlings in the paddy field are green and lush, and the terraced fields form a beautiful arc. The white clouds in the sky are piled up like clusters of trees with a little snow, and the clear sky is vast and empty.

Duan Shubai was carrying a bamboo pole, walking on the green field by the stream with more than twenty ducklings and his husband.

The fluffy yellow ducklings walked forward bouncing their buttocks, sometimes with their heads down, and sometimes with their necks raised together, and took a few steps forward quickly. The neat and uniform steps were like a flying boat on the land. wave.

A little yellow duck that accidentally sprained its foot and fell behind managed to get up, with its legs and wings flying together, for fear of leaving the team.

It can be said that there is a great sense of collective honor.

Duan Shubai taught Xiao Yuhe how to chase ducks by himself. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yuhe at the side. Today's Young Master Jiao is not wearing a fancy dress, and his ink-like hair is only tied up lightly with a bright yellow ribbon. , the two hanging hairbands are hung behind the head, which is simple and beautiful, but Duan Shubai took a closer look, and there are three jade bead chains on the middle section of the hairbands. He doesn't like inlaid gold, but prefers Dai Yu.

Matching his headband, he wore a goose yellow dress, Duan Shubai felt that he was very suitable for this bright and bright color, just like himself.

Similarly, he matched perfectly with the group of little yellow ducks with wagging buttocks in front, Duan Shu smiled.

"I don't really ask you to drive ducks every day, feed chickens and cows, and serve piglets. I just hope you have time to visit them, and occasionally feed them to tease them and pass the time."

"Look, there are so many people reclaiming wasteland on the mountain over there. Hey, do you want to choose a few fields to plant? You don't need to plow the fields. We are strong and strong and have done all the hard work. You scatter It is a joyful process to sow seeds and pull out weeds, and watch what you plant grow little by little.”

Duan Shubai thought that Xiao Yuhe had been in Xinyang City for several days, but he hadn't done a good job of shopping. He was busy a few days ago, training to plant trees and dig lotus ponds, so he couldn't spare time. He was beaten up today, but he had some free time Walk with him around the perimeter.

"At the end of the road is the canteen, where the soldiers eat."

"That's the square, where you usually train."

"The place surrounded by many people is digging a well."

Duan Shubai explained to him the things in Xinyang City one by one, Xiao Yuhe nodded from time to time, and the soldiers passing by also greeted them with smiles on their faces, "I have seen the general, I have seen the lady."

Those who repaired the house put down the planks, those who dug the well threw away the rope, and even the one who built the hut secretly wanted to come over to have a look. Duan Shubai looked at this group of tall and strong guys with shocking looks on their faces. With a shabby and disgusting smile, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he used dangerous eyes to ruthlessly push back the group of gossipers.

"Is that the general's wife? I didn't see her a few days ago, but I saw her today, she is indeed a pretty person."

"Our wife is not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted. Last time, the plague in Yangcheng was cured by him."

"This morning, the general was beaten with a military baton. I heard that he was caught in the cold in the middle of the night. His wife delayed his training by not letting him go out when he was sick. Our general was serious and ordered himself to punish himself. It was revealed that he had a quarrel with his wife just now. .”

"You're behind in this news. From the looks of Madam and General, it doesn't look like they've had a fight?"

"Little young people don't understand. There is a saying called fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed. The more noisy the husband and wife are, the better the relationship will be, hehehe."

"...Don't make it sound like you've married a wife before."

"..."

Xiao Yuhe was watched by a group of gossip wolves, and couldn't help but grab Duan Shubai's sleeve corner. Although he looked like a reserved and polite nobleman on the surface, he was actually showing timidity. Duan Shubai put his arms around his shoulders, showing a protective posture Taking care of him silently, he turned his head and used a bamboo pole as a long-gun to sweep across violently, shaking a group of people back three steps in the air. They have experienced the general's sharp gun.

Duan Shubai took Xiao Yuhe to a place with few people.

"Don't be afraid of them. They just have enough to eat and have nothing to do. The more than 200 newcomers don't recognize you. It's just a rare thing. Look at those who came with us and don't join in the fun." Although Duan Shubai is That said, but with his sharp eyes, he caught several veterans who were stirring up troubles in the crowd, and he remembered them all, and he will take care of them in future drills.

The little yellow ducks quacked and huddled together and moved forward. This is a group of little yellow ducks who are not afraid of people by nature. Even if they were surrounded by a group of people just now, they moved forward leisurely with their buttocks twisted, without any panic or fear.

They walked at the foot of the mountain, the little yellow ducks led the way, their fat buttocks twisted vigorously.

Xiao Yuhe suddenly snatched the bamboo pole from Duan Shubai's hand, and with a naughty heart, he poked the little yellow duck's upturned buttocks, fiddled with the fat duck's little wings, and bullied a group of innocent short-legged ducks to keep warm.

He suddenly found the joy of catching ducks.

"It's Xinyang City? After shopping for a long time, why didn't I see a single shop? It's so boring."

Duan Shubai coughed, "The conditions are not good now, just wait another three or four months, when the vegetable market and streets are planned, you will be able to see all kinds of shops, why? You want to buy something now? I can take you to Yangcheng—”

Xiao Yuhe shook his head: "I used to be in the Hou's mansion, and I rarely had the opportunity to go out. I only saw the bustling streets outside from the carriage and sedan chair. The cries in the west market of the capital are very loud, especially those selling candied haws."

Duan Shubai was curious: "When you are at home, how do you live every day?"

"When I was at home... read books, learned to paint, and cook and embroider... In February and March, it was cold, so we gathered together to admire plum blossoms and drink tea. In the month, lotuses are picked to enjoy fish, and in the twelfth month, we gather around the fireside and chat about gossip."

Duan Shubai sighed; "Sounds very interesting, suitable for you, follow me here, really wronged you."

Xiao Yuhe hurriedly said: "No, it's boring to live like that day after day. I'm... used to it when I come here."

Duan Shubai smiled, and suddenly mentioned: "Last night, you were actually homesick, right? In the past one and a half months since you came out, Yangzhou is far away from the capital—" He lowered his eyes and continued: "Do you want to go home? Don't write a letter home to your mother, I'll get someone to send it back for you."

Xiao Yu and his pair of beautiful fox eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it okay?"

Duan Shubai rubbed his nose, nodded with a low smile.

Xiao Yuhe couldn't suppress his smile any longer, his eyes were filled with warm spring water, he looked into Duan Shubai's eyes and said seriously: "Husband, thank you."

Being called "husband" again, Duan Shubai blinked his eyes, still something was wrong, this time he didn't feel the toothache before, maybe he got used to it, or maybe it was the burning wound on his back that made other sensory organs of his body become numb.

Xiao Yuhe smiled to himself for a while, looked at Duan Shubai's face, and persuaded softly: "Let's go back, you are still running around with injuries all over your body, look at you, your lips are all white, and you still laugh , how can you still look like a general leading an army to fight a war, more like a sick man who has been sick for many years, really don't think of yourself as a human being?"

Duan Shubai turned his head and jokingly said: "Didn't you ask me if I was human the day you first came? Does Mr. Xiao have an answer now? A sick man? Do you believe that this sick man like me can kill you with just one hand? Bring it up?"

"Just talk big." Xiao Yuhe glared at him, and rebuked each other's faults one by one: "Disobedient, pushy, sloppy, drunk..."

"What about you, you love cleanliness, you want face, you have a bad temper, and you stare at people at every turn..."

"I won't tell you anymore. Anyway, I'm going back. If you want to go shopping, go shopping slowly by yourself!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go back with you, we have to send these little yellow ducks back first."

Duan Shubai used a bamboo pole to guide the little short legs to turn. Xiao Yuhe caught a glimpse of a duck with an upturned butt that was knocked dizzy by a group of ducks. The yellow brocade pouch on his waist spread out his palms in front of Duan Shubai: "Here."

Duan Shubai picked up the kit and asked puzzledly: "What is this?"

He opened it and saw that it was a piece of emerald jade pendant, which was the one that fell into the lotus pond yesterday. "What do you give it to me? I found it for you after a lot of trouble."

Xiao Yuhe took another look at the twin lotus jade pendant, and said calmly, "I've given it to you."

Duan Shubai smiled in embarrassment and said, "What are you giving me? I'm not like you walking around with a sachet jade pendant every day. It's useless to ask for it." He put the jade pendant back into the kit and returned it to Xiao Yuhe.

Xiao Yuhe pushed his hand away, and said in a very strong tone, "If I said I gave it to you, I gave it to you. There is no reason to return what I gave away."

Duan Shubai waved the kit in front of him, "Is it really for me? Your father gave it to you."

"No more."

Duan Shubai put the jade pendant into his pocket, "Okay, then I will take it for now and keep it for you. If you want it back later, I will return it to you."

The green seedlings in the field gradually elongate, changing day by day, and the blue color becomes more intense and even begins to change. Under the bright sunlight, the rice grains begin to turn yellow, and hang down like a hunchback.Ridge after ridge of dense sweet potato leaves are staggered and climbed together. Looking from a distance, you can only see layers of complex green leaves, without any shadow of soil. Green in light and shade.

"Earing ears!! Earning ears!!!" Liang Feng who came back from the field shouted and ran back to his residence.

Liu Dong, who was rushing through the door in their building, laughed at him: "Isn't it just the tassels? It's so rare to use, and the flowers have already blossomed, so you're just bluffing now."

"No, there are so many rice planted on the terraced fields, and the grains are full, so they are not empty!" Liang Feng gestured with his hands and feet, "I have been planting fields at home for several years, but I have never seen rice that can There are so many knots!!!!"

"It looks like a good harvest. The mountains in the north are all like this. With such growth, how much food can be produced by so much land!!" Liang Feng wiped his face excitedly. I have seen such rice.
