Let’s Go, Wheat

Chapter 41: 042 Picking tea seeds

Views:

The rapeseeds were planted and the wheat seeds were planted. Before the farmers had time to catch their breath, the Nanjiang Township Government issued an order to open the mountains one day before the frost. So, early in the morning on the frost day, everyone brought dry food, picked up baskets and set off into the mountains again.

At this time, the whole village is often full of men, women and children. The children cheered and ran all over the mountain. Compared with the test paper exercises, the farm work of picking tea seeds is as easy as playing for them.

Last night, Qian Liqin started nagging. My family has too few hands, and the children are small. The couple can take care of things and can’t take care of the north and south. Many camellia trees have not had time to pick, and families with large numbers of people have long since made the move first. If you really want to figure it out, I don't know how many dark losses I have every year.

Yang Yong packed up his tools on the sidelines, poking his lips disapprovingly: "Let's go with them. After a while, we will pick up some leaks, and I will also go to the mountains to look for wild tea seeds. The oil is really not enough, so let's buy some animal oil."

Qian Liqin was slicing pig food in her hand, and she said in a cool and cool manner: "You're so simple. Last year, a chemical plant came to collect tea seed husks, and even tea cakes refined with oil, saying that they can make soap and laundry. What about powder."

Yang Yong didn't say much, and calmly said: "As much as we can pick, we count, anyway, our child will not go up the mountain."

But the next day, Qianmai Qianxiaohai still went up the mountain.

Qianmai does not want parents to eat the cold steamed buns that were steamed last night. After finishing the housework at noon and early morning, I hurriedly filled the fresh rice with the lunch box, took all the dried bamboo shoots and tofu on the table, and fried two poached eggs by myself, and put them in the patchwork schoolbag together with the water bottle, ready to give Parents sent it. Only blame the unsuccessful action, and was found by Qian Xiaohai. So, the little tail couldn't be shaken off, so he had to take him with him.

Diving Xiaohai's legs are not walking fast, and they look around and grind, admire the mountains, the water, the flowers, the grass, and the birds. When they get to Ziliu Mountain, the food has all been cold. But the couple were still very happy to see their son and daughter bring food.

Yang Yong was breathing heavily and sweating, picking up the water bottle and pouring his tea, his big throat swelled. No matter, I sat on the slope full of pine needles, and finished a lunch box in two swallows. Qian Liqin's face was also covered with huge transparent beads of sweat, and after picking up the food, she asked if there was a poached egg. Knowing that it was her daughter who cooked it herself, she smiled very relievedly. After changing hands, he picked up the poached egg and prepared to feed Qian Xiaohai. The little guy Qian Xiaohai opened his mouth wide. He was glared by Qian Mai in the distance, and then closed reluctantly. He looked at the poached egg with nostalgia and said with his mouth, "Mom eats it. I tried to pick tea seeds with strength. I ate them at home." The couple laughed.

Latent wheat in the distance had carried a flat basket of tea seeds, and climbed up a dwarf oil tea tree with Gouzao. Looking at the sweaty face of my parents, I turned up the hundred flavor bottle in my heart. I used to work in a magazine, and from time to time I could see some photographers' works on the countryside. There are eighty-year-old old people who carry pictures, couples work together to fight iron pictures, there are children’s rice field drying pictures, etc. The pictures are very exquisite, artistic, and paradise, but they don’t know that life in a pure rural area is very hard.

This year's tea seeds should be considered good. Green and sauce-red tea seeds of various colors jumped out from the green leaves round and round, standing proudly on the branches, swaying bright oily light in the autumn breeze and autumn sun. Latent Wheat's eyes widened and looked for tea seeds among the luxuriant foliage. Those who were out of reach used the hooks, and within a few days of the sun, they picked up a large bag full of snakeskins. Of course, her main task is to guard Qian Xiaohai and the tea seeds that have been picked.

There is no need to worry about diving into the sea. It is said that nature is the back garden of farm children. The little guy sat on the slope of the soil for himself, dug up the black grass root without a teacher, chewed it in his mouth and pulled the grass with a tube at random, sucking at the heart of the snow-white tea seed flower, very satisfied Sucked one after another and had a great time.

Yang Yongqian Liqin and his wife went to the east and west sides of the top of the mountain respectively, and continued to start from the surrounding edges. No, the mother-in-law of Wang's family in the east of the village brought the child from the mountain col.

Qian Liqin said: "Aunt Wang, all the tea seeds from my house are coming from that col. This piece of my house hasn't been picked yet, so you can pick up the leaks in a few days."

The Wang’s mother-in-law was confused, and laughed a few times: "This is yours? I thought it belonged to my eldest brother-in-law. Their family can’t use much oil. My family has too many people, and they don’t have enough oil. So this year I will come and pick up a few baskets and go back."

Qian Liqin barely squeezed a smile: "That's it. Then you made a mistake, your brother-in-law's mountain is far from here. It's Yang Jiabao's over the co, so be careful not to make a mistake."

Unexpectedly, the Wang family pulled out another arc, jumping out word by word: "By the way, should your family pay back the money?"

Qian Liqin was shocked: "What's the matter? My family doesn't owe you money?"

The Wang family's face stiffened, and immediately raised his voice: "When school is not starting, your second sister and second brother-in-law came to my house to borrow for you. It was said that your daughter had to pay for the training and tuition for school, and borrowed one hundred. Block it."

So you blatantly and generously brought a basket to the door to pick tea seeds? Before Qian Liqin could make a sound, Yang Yong heard the sound coming from the west, and said: "Aunt Wang, my daughter’s training fee is paid by me. Su Jiaru asks for the money borrowed from your house, you should find it. He is going."

The Wang family murmured a few words of displeasure, and then left in a slanderous manner. Qian Liqin was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Second Sister and they may have encountered some difficulties..."

Before she finished speaking, Yang Yong had already carried the basket and walked westward: "I hate that others use my child to make a fuss."
