Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

After eating longevity noodles, Zhang Shu wanted to go to the fields with his grandma.But Grandma Zhang blocked her back, "Your birthday is today, don't go to the fields. After your birthday, you should take a good rest."

Zhang Shu shook his head, "Grandma, we farmers don't pay much attention to it. How can we watch you two elders working hard while I am a young man playing at home?" He turned around and went to the woodshed, and took out a sickle from the firewood pile.

"Grandma, don't go today, stay at home and cook something delicious for me." Zhang Shu smiled and pushed Grandma Zhang back, turned around and went out with Grandpa Zhang.

His family doesn't grow much land, and most of them are rented out to others.But even the rice in these two or three acres of paddy fields, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang also worked very hard.

Walking on the slender field ridges, stepping on the slightly moist soil, and the cool wind blowing in the early morning, people's spirits are lifted up at once.There are green rice on both sides, with green ears of rice on it, some of which have turned yellow, and they are lowering their heads modestly, nodding slightly to people with the morning breeze.

The green hills in the distance have become especially green after the heavy rain in the past few days. The smoke in the distance and the barking of dogs and chickens from time to time add a touch of beauty to this remote small village.

It is rare for Zhang Shu to have leisure time to enjoy the scenery. When he calmed down, he realized that the small village where he had lived for two lifetimes was so beautiful.

His family's field is close to the foot of the mountain, and Li Mujin's house can be seen as soon as he looks up. It takes about half an hour to walk from there.

The rice in the fields looks better than other people's, probably because all the soil and fertilizer of the Zhang family have been invested in these fields.Zhang Shu took off his cloth shoes, put them aside, rolled up his trousers and went out to the field.

Stepping barefoot into the cold and slippery soil is not a very pleasant feeling, especially when there may be such things as leeches in the field.But he didn't care, he just bent down and concentrated on looking for the weeds growing beside the rice, and threw them on the ridge of the field.

Weeds are tenacious and will continue to grow if left in the field.

Zhang Shu was busy, and suddenly felt a shadow on his head. He raised his head and saw that Li Mujin was standing on the ridge of the field looking at him with a smile.

"Jin'er, why are you here?" Zhang Shu was very happy.

"I saw you at home, so I came to look for you." Li Mujin was still holding something in his hand, wrapped in a piece of cloth, bulging.

"Well, Jin'er, stand back a little, and be careful that I'll throw the mud on you." Zhang Shu looked at Li Muzhen, who was clean and dressed in blue clothes, looking very energetic, afraid that he would get dirty by him.

"I'm not afraid, just wash it up. I'll go down and help you do it together!" Li Mujin was about to take off her shoes as she spoke.

"No, no, no! Jin'er, don't come down, the field is dirty, and there are leeches! I'll be angry if you come down!" Zhang Shu hurriedly stopped him.

Li Muqin stopped taking off his shoes. He looked at Zhang Shu's rarely serious face, and then stopped in dismay, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

There was a smile on Zhang Shu's face again, "That's right, as long as you talk with me, I feel full of strength all over my body, and I can't finish it!"

Li Mujin felt sweet in his heart, he took out his good stuff wrapped in cloth, and handed it in front of Zhang Shu, "Brother Dashu, this is for you."

"What is it? It's so good, why did you give me something?"

"Today is your birthday, have you forgotten? You gave me such a beautiful hairpin last time, and I want to give you something too!"

Zhang Shu watched him speak earnestly with a small face, and a warm feeling rose in his heart, Mu Jin was thinking about him all the time!

Li Muzhen opened the cloth bag, and there was a set of outer shirt inside, which was made by Li Muzhen for him. "I don't know your size, and I don't know if it fits you well." Li Mujin was a little shy, and measuring the size was too intimate, no matter how bold he was, it would be difficult for him to touch it.

"It must fit very well! I can see that it fits very well!" Zhang Shu's mouth was grinning, and his smile was as simple as the rhubarb at the entrance of the village.

After receiving the gift from Li Mujin, Zhang Shu felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He pulled up the weeds quickly and accurately, and after a while, he went to another field.

As for Li Muqin, she was afraid that he would be thirsty, or that he would be hungry from work, so she poured a teapot of water from home for a while, and brought out some steamed buns for him to eat.

Although he gave Grandpa Zhang first every time, everyone could see that his ulterior motives were beyond drinking.

Aba Li just shook his head to look at him, this brother can't be kept anymore!

Zhang Shu and Grandpa Zhang spent the whole morning weeding their fields. Then he washed his hands and feet with a few handfuls of water in the small water tank next to the field ridge. After drying, he went to the side to put on shoes, and then reached out to pull up Li Mujin who had been squatting next to her.

"Jin'er, come back to eat with me today, my grandma should have made quite a lot of delicious food!" Zhang Shu looked at him, and wanted him to go with him.

Li Mujin thought for a while, but still shook his head, his fair face blushed a little, "My dad won't let me, later... I'll go to your house for dinner." He laughed, his eyes were crooked, There is also a shallow dimple on the left side of the face.

"En!" Zhang Shu nodded, and still couldn't resist the longing in his heart, he reached out and stroked his hair. "It won't be long." His voice was low, his eyes were black and bright, exuding a convincing power.

Li Mujin nodded involuntarily. He felt that Zhang Shu looked a little strange at the moment, but his whole body was filled with a blushing aura, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

After the two separated, Zhang Shu hugged the clothes Li Mujin made for him, and quickly caught up with Grandpa Zhang who was walking ahead with a hoe.

Grandpa Zhang glanced at the kid with a smirk all over his face, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.Stupid people have stupid blessings!

After returning home, Zhang Shu found that there seemed to be guests in the yard.

He went in and took a look, only to realize that it was his sister-in-law Zhang Yun who was sitting in the main room with her back to him.She was wearing shabby clothes, which were covered with patches and turned white from washing.An indigo cloth scarf was tied around her head, and her face was filled with sorrow that would never fade away. She didn't look like a person in her 30s at all.

"Ashu, are you back? What is this in your arms?" Grandma Zhang faced the direction of the gate, and when she saw Zhang Shu coming back, she quickly greeted him.

"Sister-in-law," Zhang Shu greeted first, and then said, "It's a new dress." Zhang Shu couldn't hide his joy, so he shook off the clothes on the spot for Grandma Zhang to see.

"Hey, this handwork looks good! The stitches are also fine, and the material feels good!" Grandma Zhang touched the clothes, and her mouth was full of admiration.She didn't ask who gave it to her, because she knew very well in her heart, who else would there be besides the little Jin'er of the Li family?

Zhang Yun also leaned over to touch it, "The material is so good, does it cost a lot of money? It's so good." Her eyes were full of envy, as if this was not an ordinary cotton dress, but one made of gold and silver. Clothes made of thread.

Grandma Zhang pulled out the clothes with a bit of ingenuity, folded them in front of her, and handed them to Zhang Shu, "Ah Shu, after reading it, put it away, and save it for future wear."

Zhang Shu didn't know, so he took the clothes and went into the room, leaving only Zhang Yun standing there, still looking at the new clothes reluctantly.

Grandma Zhang can't understand Zhang Yun's behavior. She is also frugal, but she still has to spend what should be spent. What do you do with a large sum of money?A person who is only in his 30s makes himself look like an old woman like her, what exactly is he planning?
