The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 70
Faced with Li Mei's accusation, Tian Yuan said calmly: "I didn't buy it, I just repaired the big sister's bike."

Li Mei wondered, "Then why are people in the village saying that you have made money and bought a car yourself?"

"You'll know when you come and take a look."

Tian Yuan led Li Mei to the main room, where the bicycle was placed in the corner, and Li Mei saw it at a glance, and she took a closer look.

"How did you repair it like a new one?" She raised her head, "How much did it cost?"

Pastoral: "Twenty."

"That's fine."

Li Mei was taken aback, patted the seat cushion, and said, "It's fine if it's repaired, and I can still ride if I have something to do."

The rice in the village is planted for two seasons. In July, when the early rice is mature, the harvest begins, and then the plowing and transplanting of rice seedlings begin.In only one month, harvesting, plowing, and transplanting are very busy, which is called double grabbing.

At a glance, the field is golden, and under the sunlight, the golden rice is connected one by one, which has become a unique scenery in the hometown.

The scene in front of me was poured out by the farmers with their painstaking efforts.

Today, the villagers are rushing to cut rice.After breakfast, Tian Yuan picked up the sickle sharpened by Tian Zhi yesterday, followed Li Mei and Tian Zhi to go out to cut rice, the sun at seven o'clock was a little hot on the face.

Fortunately, I rode to the town two days ago to buy a straw hat and boots.

As far as Tianyuan is concerned, she is still quite afraid of the leeches in the paddy fields.In the past, leeches would get stuck into her legs. At that time, she was so scared that she called her mother in the paddy field. She dared not look directly at the leeches and asked her mother to help her remove them. Later, she was still very scared after experiencing a lot.Therefore, in order to work better in the fields, she specially bought boots to wear in the field. Li Mei and Tian Zhi didn't wear them, which was inconvenient, and Tianyuan didn't force her.

Tian Zhi got off the field first, swished the sickle with his right hand three times, and his left hand was full of rice handles, and he threw them stacked and thrown into the field behind.Continue to cut hard and chase all the way forward.Because Tianyuan was afraid of the heat, he refused to listen to Li Mei's words when he went out, and he didn't wear long clothes and trousers. As a result, his arms and calves were cut with bright red lines by the fresh rice leaves covered with jagged teeth. Itchy and painful!
After cutting half of it, Tianyuan called it a day and went home. She had to go back and prepare lunch first.

Looking around, except for the adults, most of the children of her age have basically come to help in the field.

Tianyuan saw Wang Xiuhong, whose home was not far away; she saw Huang Chao and Huang Liyun.Turning her head again, she saw Tian Dafu and Tian Bing busy in the field, after thinking about it, she guessed that Tian Xiao should stay at home to cook.

When I got home, I happened to see Tian Yu washing rice. She was at home with grandma and doing some housework.

Tian Yuan quickly prepared lunch, the weather was too hot, she had no appetite, so she ate a few mouthfuls of food, and left the food for grandma and Tian Yu, so she put the other prepared bowls into the basket and covered them with straw First put a cushion, put a large pot lid on the bowl, then put on the rice cooker, Tian Yu carried a pot of tea, and the two of them carried the baskets to the field.

It was almost noon, and the scorching sun was roasting the earth. The villagers seemed to have no intention of going home, and they were still cutting the early rice in the paddy fields.Tian Yuan saw that part of the food was sent to the field by family members. Those who did not go back probably had not yet prepared the food at home, and someone would bring it or ask them to go back to eat later.

Tianyuan's house is a little higher at the foot of the mountain, a little far away from the field. In order not to waste time, Tianyuan sends rice to the field.

She specially changed into long clothes and trousers this time, for fear that she would cut her skin again after working in the afternoon.

Tian Yu went back after delivering the meal, and she had to go back to take care of her grandma.

"Mom and Dad, it's time to eat!"

Tianyuan shouted from the edge of the field.

Li Mei and Tian Zhi stopped what they were doing, washed their hands in the ditch next to them, wiped their bodies casually, and then came over to eat, and the two of them ate right next to Tian Kan.

Tian Yuan took Tian Zhi's hand, picked up a handful of rice, stood on the pedal of the threshing machine, and stepped on one side of her foot. When the machine started to move, she raised the rice to the right and then to the left inside of the threshing bucket. After beating hard, all the threshed grains were scattered in the grain bucket.

Li Mei called her from the side: "What are you in a hurry for? You can't step on it by yourself. We'll do it together after dinner."

Tian Yuan said stubbornly: "You can step on it, look!"

"Hey, Tian Zhi, what kind of food in your family is it so delicious?"

Wang Gui, who was next to him, came over with his rice bowl, he asked with a silly smile, and Li Honghua followed behind him.

Wang Gui is also an honest person. Tian Zhi has a good relationship with him, and he said braggingly: "The dishes are made by my hometown, and they are delicious!"

Wang Gui looked curiously into their vegetable bowls, fried pork with green peppers, fried pork with bitter gourd, and a pickled cucumber and green vegetables.

It's all meat, can it not be fragrant, he can smell it as soon as they open the lid!

"Hehe, it seems that your family is really making money. It's just the first day, and you've been eating meat."

He looked at the field where the rice was being threshed, and said in an envious tone: "Yuanyuan is really sensible, my family, Xiuhong, only cut a few times in the morning, and kept shouting that she was tired, and now she has gone back."

"Hehe, it's useless for you to be envious of this. Let me tell you, our home garden is a good hand at work. Every time she went to the fields with us before, she never cried out that she was tired."

What Tian Zhi is most satisfied with is his hard-working second daughter. He is the only one in the village and Wang Gui's family has no sons, which makes him feel very humiliated. He has a little confidence.

Wang Gui shook his head and didn't want to compare with him. He ate two bites of rice, pouted, and said, "Is there any work you can introduce me to do? Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and the birds have faded out of our mouths." .”

Li Honghua also held a bowl and chatted with Li Mei in the back. It was the same problem. She wanted to see what work she could do, and wanted to earn some money to subsidize the family.

"I don't have much work either. I was found by Yuanyuan, and I have to know how to make clothes. However, I remember that no one in your family can do this."

Tian Zhi greeted Wang Gui: "Come, let's eat together. Yuanyuan cooked three dishes, and the two of us can't finish them. You should eat too."

Tian Zhi always acted very generous outside, but this time he really meant it. After all, he had to plow the field after harvesting, and he had to go to Wang Gui's house to borrow cattle.

When drinking water and resting on the field ridge in the countryside, I feel hot pain on my face, even if I wear a straw hat, I can still be exposed to the sun.She looked at the laborers in the field, all repeating the work of farmers thousands of years ago, with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, and it was the farmers who worked the hardest.

After the meal, everyone started to move again, devoting all their energy to harvesting early rice.After a field is cut, the original golden color becomes a piece of plaster with rice stubble, soaked in water, shining with silver light.People were not interested in observing the changes in the fields, and each of them dragged their sweat and rushed home with rice grains.

Tian Zhi bundled up the threshed rice, carried it on a shoulder pole, walked on the ridge of the field, and picked it up to dry on the ground of his home. He was already sweating profusely, panting like a cow, and his shoulders were red and swollen.

When she got home, the farm with the least work was exhausted, and she hadn't done such a tiring job for a long time.
