Zhang Weiguo wants to hurry up and finish his homework, so that he can go out to play earlier, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo went to take a nap, Zhang Baoguo didn't want to go to sleep, seeing his younger brother took out his homework, he also took out his own, and followed along do homework.

It's autumn now, but because it's located in the south, the autumn tiger exudes its power. It's noon, and I don't want to hang around outside at all.

This kind of weather is not a joke, too much sun will cause heat stroke.

The two brothers wrote their homework obediently. Su Hui would take a look at it from time to time, if there was something wrong and correct it, seeing that they were in a hurry, she knocked on the table to signal them to calm down and write slowly, don't be impatient.

Su Hui basically doesn't take a nap. She doesn't need a nap to refresh herself, and she doesn't feel sleepy. She holds a newspaper in her hand, reads it slowly, and turns to the last page.

The last newspaper I went to look for last time, I have read the last one, and it has been a while since the last time. It is time to get a new one. She browsed through it first, and there are still those things, not too novel.

In the corner, she took a fancy to a short essay praising the motherland and ticked it off.

When Zhang Weiguo finished his homework, his mother pushed the newspaper in front of him, and clicked on the place that she aroused: "You read this once, and after reading it, give it to your brother, and ask him to copy it."

Most of the words used in this prose are relatively easy to understand, but there are also some words that look familiar, but they don't match the words.

Zhang Weiguo took out the dictionary, first read it silently in his heart, and looked it up in the dictionary if he couldn't read it smoothly, and then read it in front of Su Hui with a voice and emotion.

This kind of prose has been read and copied a lot, and the two brothers have changed their speech, but they can't say what has changed. Zhang Baoguo has been praised by the teacher more than once in class. .

When they were all finished, Zhang Weiguo knew that today's task was done when he saw his mother was holding the book and there was no other movement. He looked at the sun outside and found that it was still very hot. He went back to the room and took out the round stones he had collected.

"Brother, let's play first."

After sleeping for about an hour, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo had enough sleep. Seeing the elder brother and the second brother playing, they also took out their own toys, which were a set of wooden carved number cards, which could be used for both reading numbers and playing games. While playing around, Zhang foreign country suddenly thought of something, raised his head from the ground and looked at his mother on the stool: "Mom, do you have any new comic books? Are you going to town?"

Mom is in a good mood, maybe she will give them a new villain book.

As soon as he said this, the other three brothers all looked at Su Hui expectantly, obviously they were very interested in comic books.

"Yes, Mom, do you have any new comic books?"

Su Hui was in a happy mood. Seeing them like this, she nodded, "I'll go to the town tomorrow, and I'll keep an eye out for you when the time comes. Give me your old comic books."

They didn't have too many villains in their family. She said that the ones she brought back were all taken away from the old ones when they brought them new ones, saying that they were exchanged. Only a few were fixed and kept at home.

Su Hui said to take away the old one, Zhang Weiguo felt a little bit reluctant: "I really like one, can I not take it away?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't take it away, just replace it with a new one, I'll follow you."

Zhang Weiguo accepted it.

He was reluctant and wanted to read it again, but he really wanted to read the new comic book. Zhang Anguo pouted. He liked that book too. Suddenly he had an idea: "Can we draw it?" I remembered the photo they took in the city.

"It's just like a photo. In this way, we can exchange it out and keep the one for looking at the painting."

"Yes, yes, we can draw it!" Zhang Weiguo immediately took out a blank piece of paper and a pen, and began to compare the drawings.

As long as you are a student, you will desert during the class, and the most common desertion is to draw a picture on the waste paper or the desktop with a pen. things to do.

Seeing his painting like that, Su Hui couldn't stand it: "If you don't know how, I'll teach you a very simple method."

She put the paper on top of the comic book, and then took a pencil to draw slowly, and then moved it away to deepen it with the pencil, so that the sketch was more decent than the one she drew.

"Mom, you are amazing!"

The notebooks at home are enough, and Su Hui will replenish them regularly. The four of them each held a copy and wrote to each other. Zhang Baoguo wrote: "Mom, then I won't go to work today, is it okay?"

He looked at Su Hui anxiously, his mother said that he would go to the town tomorrow, and he had to seize this time to finish drawing it.

Su Hui was dumbfounded, and patted his head: "Of course, you are already great, it's okay to take a break once in a while."

He is really sensible. He goes to school in the morning, and when he comes back in the afternoon, he often goes to the ground to earn a few work points. He upholds the belief that earning a little more is a little bit. Even if he doesn’t earn work points, he will bring food home when he goes out to play with his friends. , or bring firewood back, in short, not empty-handed.

The hottest time has passed, and the assembly whistle sounded. Su Hui thought about it, and went to work in the field. She seldom went. After all, she was a teacher, and she already had ten work points every day, and she often went to work in the field. On the one hand, it is easy to cause criticism. On the other hand, she is not interested. She only appears when the farming is busy. The rest of the time depends on her mood. Today, she is in a mood.

She put on her straw hat, put on her cuffs, and tied up her trousers.

"I went out, are you all at home?"

"Yes, yes, we are all at home and don't go out."

They were afraid that they would not have enough time to finish copying all these little books, so they had several copies.

After blowing the first whistle, after a while, Zhang Chengye blew the whistle three times in a row. This time interval is enough for those who want to go to the field to gather here after hearing the letter from home.

Zhang Chengye is the team leader, and there is a team leader under the team leader. Their tasks have been discussed early in the morning. What kind of work will be done today, and the general responsibility will be planned in advance. According to who will be allocated according to the area of the prescription, when everyone is here, just click People come out to get farm tools and go to work.

Now these farm tools are all owned by the public, and only a few are privately owned.

Su Hui naturally stood with Zhao Xialan.

The two of them were assigned to dig sweet potatoes in a certain field.

Sweet potatoes are everyone's staple food. Whenever they are harvested, they are carefully watched. Wherever the sweet potatoes are ripe, they will arrange for people to dig them, so as not to be overdue.

To dig sweet potatoes, first, people take a sickle and cut off all the sweet potato seedlings, leaving only one head, and gently dig out the soil of the sweet potato field with a hoe, leaving only the middle, and the sweet potato is basically It just grows in the middle of that ridge of soil, and some of them will grow outside wantonly. The hoe must be controlled properly, and the sweet potatoes should not be broken. If there is a wound, its shelf life will be greatly shortened, and it cannot be stored for a long time.

After the two sides are removed, the next step is to dig down the side of the sweet potato field with a hoe, and bring it out with force. If this continues, the sweet potatoes dug out are basically intact.

This year's sweet potato harvest is good. One sweet potato grows with several vines, and it grows well without any bugs.

With worms, it is edible, but it is bitter in the mouth.

Seeing such a harvest, everyone has a smile on their faces. The sweet potatoes are growing well, and their granary will be fuller this year, and people will be fuller.

After harvesting and digging out, someone will gather these aside, remove the sweet potato whiskers, and find out the strips of sweet potato, which will be fed to pigs.

There are 7 work points for digging sweet potatoes, and 4 work points for cleaning sweet potatoes.

Both Su Hui and Zhao Xialan are 7 cm long, and Zhou Xiaoqing took 4 cm. She was responsible for picking up the sweet potatoes they dug up, rubbing the soil and whiskers, and putting them in bamboo baskets. A man would come to pick them up after a while. Pick them up and put them in the warehouse.

Su Hui doesn't usually walk around in front of the villagers. Because of her location, she can go to school and take small paths up the mountain. The paths are relatively small and the vegetation is too dense, so few people walk. Can't see her much.

For example, Zhou Xiaoqing, when she saw Su Hui, she couldn't help but look at her several times. This is the widow, and this was the first time she saw her at such a close distance.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, Zhou Xiaoqing knew that this person was good-looking, not much inferior to her. Moreover, she had a very calm demeanor, as if nothing could make her panic.

I didn't expect there to be such a character in this rural area, no wonder the soldiers would also take a fancy to her, but life is not very good...

Zhao Xialan noticed it, and secretly winked at Su Hui: Look.

She motioned for her to carry her back, and walked to the other side, Zhao Xialan lowered her voice: "Wait, keep your back to her, in this direction, if someone comes to pick sweet potatoes, if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see your face. Your uncle is being courteous."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Zhang Gui came briskly with a pole, and went straight to Zhou Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing... Comrade, I'm here to pick sweet potatoes. You are too hot here, so you should move them here." He pointed to the shade of the tree.

Looking at him, watching him change his name and add a comrade, Zhou Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little annoyed.

Who allowed him to call himself by his name so intimately

"But it's inconvenient to live in the shade of trees, and it's a long way from the sweet potato fields."

Zhang Gui patted his chest: "How about this, you go over there, I'll help you pick these sweet potatoes over there, and you can do it slowly under the shade of the tree, how about it?"

"..."

What's the matter, isn't this a waste of effort when you have nothing to do? With that time, it is enough to pack a lot.

The person next to him thought this way and coughed lightly to remind them that there are others here. Zhou Xiaoqing didn't mean that, she kept a sufficient distance from him, and pressed down her hat to cover most of her face: "It's okay, I have a hat, I'm fine."

She couldn't help but look at her hands under the sun, she almost forgot what kind of white she was before? During the period of time here, her hands were darkened several degrees, but she was darkened several degrees, which is relatively speaking. To the villagers, she is still a fair-skinned pretty girl.

She raised her head and glanced at Su Hui, who was only from the back. When she came to the front, it seemed that her skin was quite white.

It is said to be a teacher, no wonder.

If she sat in the classroom every day, she would be white too.

"You go to work." She started to chase people away. When people saw this, they couldn't think that they had something, and his sister-in-law was here.

Zhang Gui really didn't notice Su Hui.

He only had Zhou Xiaoqing in his eyes. Seeing that she still refused to get married and seek his favor, his face froze for a moment, and soon put on a smile: "Okay, I'll pick this one up, and I'll help you later."

Not giving a chance to refuse, he picked up his shoulders and left.

Zhao Xialan: Did you hear that

The expressions are so rich that you can write hundreds of words.

Su Hui nodded slightly.

Zhao Xialan seemed to have been spat out: How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I!

Su Hui blinked: I understand!

The two played charades back and forth with their eyes, and after a while, they burst out laughing together.

"Do you think it is possible?" Is it possible for those two people to be together

Su Hui shrugged: "Didn't you see that he was unwilling? It was hot."

Zhao Xialan: "I can see it, but isn't it because the strong girl is afraid of pestering her husband? He is the most enthusiastic one. It is impossible for your mother-in-law not to know, but she didn't reveal anything. Is there any objection?"

Many aunts and aunts in the village are not willing to go to an educated youth in their own home. Apart from other things, now, the two of them are doing 7 work points, and Zhou Xiaoqing is doing 4 work points. If the family is not enough, Or if you have many children and marry such a daughter-in-law, it will make things worse in the future.

"She has always loved her little one very much, and when she brought up something, it was rarely opposed."

Zhao Xialan suddenly realized that it seemed that Zhang Gui coaxed Li Manfen and convinced her.

"This seems to be a good point. Let's sort out the situation at home first."

Su Hui gave her a look: "It is estimated that she is the only one in the family who agrees, and the others may not know about it, or they may not agree with it after knowing it, but it is difficult to bring it up."

In front of Zhang Gen and Zhang Quanquan, few people would gossip in front of them. Zhao Laidi should know about it, but she probably disagrees.

The ones she introduced to Zhang Gui before were not the type who dare to speak and act, but the kind of gentle, cowardly, soft-tempered people.

"Hahaha, it makes sense." It seems that there is still some grinding.

Zhao Xialan moved from place to place, so if she had such a sister-in-law, she would be troublesome. There are so many jobs in the family, and it is estimated that "the able one will have to work harder". I am so grateful for this.

Fortunately, her sister separated.

It is the most comfortable for the family to live their lives quietly and quietly.

Guan Shaoli got out of the car, carrying a huge package, another colleague of his waved to him from the driver's seat: "Remember my insect repellent powder."

Guan Shaoli returned a clear gesture.

They send things together, and every time there are letters, he writes on one side, Zhang Baoguo writes on the other side, the letters will write some trivial things in life, he mentioned once in the letter that his little daughter was bitten by a mosquito, I can't sleep at night, and there is no way to use the mosquito net. After all, there are mosquito nets only where you sleep.

He mentioned it once, and in the package he received next time, there was a jar with small balls of cloth inside, and if he smelled it closely, he could smell the fragrance of medicine.

According to Zhang Baoguo, this is the mosquito repellent they use at home, and it is kept around, and there are no mosquitoes at all.

He tried to take one and hung it on his daughter, and there was really no bag! I took a few and put them at home, and there were fewer mosquitoes in the house, and this summer was much more comfortable.

He once said that he slipped his tongue. There was no way. A jar of medicine packs was divided into sevens and eighties. Now it has been used up, and it is not winter yet, and the mosquitoes are still rampant. There is also a child who attracts mosquitoes in his family. Less than one year old, looking at the big red and swollen bump, I have long been thinking about it.

When he entered the village, someone came to ask him who he was looking for. He said he was looking for Zhang Baoguo, who was his father's comrade in arms.

Soon someone came after him.

Those who are close to their family have more or less eaten the seafood sent by him, so they are no strangers.

There were few strangers in the village, and some children deliberately went around to see what he looked like, but he looked away and shrank back like a frightened little hamster.

Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo were playing hide-and-seek with their friends, and they were dragged to see what was new. They didn't recognize who it was. It's been more than half a year since the last time, but it doesn't matter if they didn't recognize it. Guan Shaoli recognized it, twins, always is particularly conspicuous.

"Which of you is An Guo? Who is Ding Guo? Remember me? Give me a hint, Uncle Tanuki."

As soon as Uncle Civet Cat was mentioned, they remembered it.

Uncle civet cat = delicious food = father comrade in arms!

Zhang Jinhua was also beside him. He glanced at Guan Shaoli's package and trotted home. He wanted to tell his grandparents the news.
