Chapter 71

"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drips down to the soil."

Another fine weather with clear skies.The villagers went to the fields to cut rice before the sky fully dawned.

Looks like another busy day.

The village is filled with the joy of a good harvest, and pictures of the harvest are in front of us, full of vigor and vitality.

Tianyuan doesn't remember being busy for a few days, going out early and returning late with Tian Zhi and Li Mei every day, just to harvest the early rice as soon as possible.

On this day, Tianyuan rode his bike to the next village to go to the market early in the morning, bought a big watermelon and put it back under the cliff in front of the house.In summer, waterfalls are formed there, and the water flowing down is also icy cold.When Tian Yuan was young, she ran to take a bath under the waterfall because it was too hot, but even in summer, the water there was still too cold. After that, she never took a bath there again, because she grew older and older. , Know how to be shy, afraid of being seen by passers-by, although there are few people walking on the road in front of Tianyuan's house, occasionally people who go up the mountain to chop firewood pass by here.

Only one piece of early rice in the field was confiscated. Li Mei told her to dry the rice at home instead of going to the field.

When they went to the field to deliver food at noon, Tianyuan brought the cool watermelon over, and only opened the watermelon after they had finished eating.It is protected by the watermelon rind, and it has been placed under the water. Now the rind is still cold to the touch.Tian Zhi took a piece and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He likes sweets, especially now that he ate cold sweet watermelon, his exhaustion was healed.

"Well, this watermelon is so sweet! Come on, Brother Gui, you can try it too."

Tian Zhi shared the watermelon with Wang Gui and Li Honghua who were next to him. Wang Gui also knew Tian Zhi's plan and wanted to reserve his cattle first.

After harvesting, the field needs to be plowed. While plowing the field, other people have to pull out the rice seedlings. When the paddy fields are ready, they can start transplanting the rice seedlings.Grabbing the time to harvest early rice and robbing time to plant late rice, this is double robbing.

Wang Guihan took the watermelon with a smile. He bought a lot of food at Tian Zhi's house recently, and it's not bad for this one.

"It's really sweet. It's still cool in such a bright sun. Yuanyuan, you've put so much thought into it." Wang Gui just took a bite, it was a little cool and sweet, and he immediately felt a lot cooler and more comfortable.

Seeing that they all liked it, Tian Yuan said with a smile, "Uncle Gui, I put this watermelon in cold water all morning, so eat more if you like it."

Wang Gui quickly waved his hand, "I just finished eating, so I can't eat too much, just eat two yuan and try it."

Although he could lend the cattle to Tian Zhi to plow the fields at that time, the couple had eaten a lot in the past few days, so he felt embarrassed.It is also because the family is too poor and cannot afford any meat dishes. Now that the farming is busy, it is still a bit difficult to eat only vegetables without any oil in the stomach.

Li Mei was eating watermelon, chatting with Li Honghua next to her, showing her big white teeth from time to time.Her face was tanned a lot, but it could be seen that she was in a good mood at this moment.

In the past, double robbing was never so easy. When the children were not grown up, Li Mei was busy with the work in the field and at home. When the boss Tian Jing was able to help with things, she was a spoiled and lazy , didn't want to go to the fields or do heavy work, and because of this, Tian Jing was often beaten.Later, when Tianyuan grew up, she could help a little, but she was small and weak, so she could only coax her to do some trivial things.

It's not like now, Tianyuan not only takes care of the work at home, but also comes to work in the field when it is free.

The most important thing is that Tianyuan helped the family earn a lot of money during the summer vacation. Not only did she save enough for expenses, but it relieved her of the greatest pressure, and now she still has money to improve her life.

Li Mei is in a good mood now, and this kind of life can be regarded as a little rush.

"Yuanyuan, you have to take good care of grandma at home, and call us if you have anything to do."

Grandma has been a little delirious recently, and she can't eat much. Li Mei is worried that something will happen.

Tian Yuan lowered his head and replied, "Well, I'm watching, don't worry."

Her voice was muffled, and Li Mei thought she was tired.

After they continued to work in the fields, Tian Yuan packed up the dishes and went home.She collected her emotions on the road, and as she walked, she heard someone shouting on the road.

She looked over and saw two young men waving their hands, still shouting, Tian Yuan couldn't hear clearly, but they looked a bit like two uncles, they ran over quickly, it was too hot, and they were sweating profusely after running for a short distance rain.

When she got closer, she called out, "Uncle, Uncle!"

"Yuanyuan, where are your parents? Let's go to help now." The uncle smiled heartily.

The two uncles held sickles in their hands, wore straw hats on their heads, and their feet were still stained with mud.

Looking at them like this, Tianyuan probably rushed over after harvesting the family's land.

She said, "Uncle, why don't you go home and have some tea first."

"You take us to the field first, and now we have to harvest the early rice as soon as possible while the weather is fine."

The uncle shook his head, he smiled, showing his white teeth, which looked particularly white in contrast to his tanned skin.

Tian Yuan didn't say anything anymore, she nodded, put the things she was carrying on the side of the road, and led the two of them into the field.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law!"

Before reaching the place, the uncles saw Tian Zhi and the others, and they shouted loudly.

Hearing the sound, Li Mei stopped the sickle, still holding a handful of rice in her left hand.She turned around and looked over, seeing that it was the two younger brothers, she couldn't stop the smile on her face.

"Why are you here now? Didn't you say you would wait until the seedlings were transplanted?"

Tian Zhi also stopped what he was doing, and said with a smile: "Have you finished harvesting from your own fields?"

The uncle nodded and said loudly: "Come over just after collecting. Dad is worried that the two of you will be too busy, so let us help."

While speaking, the two of them had already left the field, one on the left and the other on the right helping to harvest.

Tian Yuan finished her task and went home. She quickly packed up her things and prepared to cook pig food, and then called Tian Yu in the room to deliver tea to the field.

Recently, I come back to feed the pigs after delivering the meals. Every time I go home, I can hear the miserable screams in the pigsty, urging her to work quickly.This baby really can't starve it, Tianyuan moved swiftly with his hands and feet.

The uncles didn't go back after dinner in the evening, they took the mats and made the floor in the kitchen.

On the night of "double snatching", Tianyuan heard the cicadas yelling "cicadas, cicadas", and the frogs were also "croaking" tirelessly. Accompanied by the cries of the frogs in turn!

The stars in the sky were still shining, and the countryside felt a little hot. She took a cattail fan to the door to enjoy the shade. There were so many sounds, but she didn't feel noisy. The moonlight shone on the ground, and she could still see the houses not far away.
