There are still about ten days before the beginning of autumn, and the corn has already jointed, which is about the height of a person, and there is no sense of endless openness like in spring.
In another half a month, it should be drawing male... In Jiangcheng dialect, it is called drawing Ying. Xu Qing held up his umbrella and looked around. Although there were often wonderful stories happening in the corn field, they were all rough guys. He, a scholar, was cut by the leaves when he went in, and it hurt and itched.
It is also possible that Jiang He beats him into a dog before the leaves are cut.
After all, Jiang He is not Gong Li, and Xu Qing is not Jiang Wen.
The lush trees, the clear and light wind, Jiang He was walking on the path with a bag on his back, pinching the leaves of the crops on the side of the road, looking back to see Xu Qing looking at the corn field with strange eyes.
"What are you thinking?"
"What's so interesting about this?" Xu Qing stretched out his fingers to flick the corn leaves.
"I didn't know it grew so fast."
Jiang He jumped on tiptoe for a few times. She wanted to relax, take a breath of fresh air, and look at the endless waves of wheat or corn. The open-minded feeling was good. She felt that Xu Qing was sitting at home holding the computer all day long. Not healthy, come out and see together.
As a result, the corn stalks were taller than others.
"What kind of fertilizer did you grow up here?" She was a little disappointed. What she hoped most for this trip was to see the crops being harvested. The big machine rumbled past, and the grain fell out of the machine's buttocks. It was exciting to think about it.
"It has nothing to do with fertilizer, it just grows fast."
"It will be harvested by machine then?" Jiang He looked around. The path was surrounded by crops and was quite secluded, which was different from the endless wheat fields in spring.
"It should be..." Xu Qing was not too sure.
"You don't know either?"
"Technology is developing too fast. In the past, a family of young people drilled into the ground to break it. I haven't been there since then. I heard that there is a machine for collecting this, but... I didn't pay attention to it."
Xu Qing looked in the distance, his family was just Xu Wenbin's generation who went to the city, and counting up to eighteen generations of farmers, I don't know if this counts as forgetting their roots...
Having said that, apart from Jiang He, no one would want to run over to watch people harvest the crops... and they still want to farm the land.
"The machine is really a great invention." Jiang He sighed, seeing that there was no one on the side of the road, he patted his buttocks and sat down, took a piece of grass and rolled it in his hand to play.
I ran all the way here, I can’t just stand up and go back, and I can’t bask in the sun when I sit down, so it’s good to have a rest.
"Normal girls would think the floor is dirty."
"It's okay to go back and wash it when it's dirty?" Jiang He looked up at him, thinking that the act of holding an umbrella on a sunny day was so silly.
"Careless... Hey."
Xu Qing also sat down and played with the dirt on the side of the road. Although he didn't know what Jiang He was planning to do, he could make a rough guess.
This is the farming business after the inspection.
In this era of being helpless, what gives her the most sense of security is the instinct of farming... Maybe after buying a house and having her own home, she can realize her sense of security and completely dispel the idea of farming.
Of course, she will still like to grow something, but she will not have the idea of buying land for planting like she does now. She has been learning, and it will take time to change from a Kaiyuan bumpkin to a modern person.
The wind blew, and there was a rustling sound in the field.
Xu Qing closed her eyes, in order not to look too bored, she carefully felt the breeze.
Jiang He doesn't spend money recklessly, and doesn't want anything. Playing games and going out are the only hobbies. No matter what, she can't spoil her interest, and she can't rush her back.
The two sat side by side in the shade, only the occasional small sound of wind blowing by the edge of the secluded field, making them look silly.
"I thought about farming together, and then let you help me cut the wheat with a sickle."
"Don't forget to bring me with you, thank you, woman."
"Do you want to?"
"I'm sure you don't want to." Xu Qing turned his head and said, "It's too high-tech to still use a scythe. Is it stupid? Hire someone to turn on the machine and it will be done in a while."
"That's right." Jiang He thought for a while, and had to admit that what Xu Qing said made sense.
She is indeed a bit stupid, farming here is not as good as other people's.
Xu Qing pulled out a straw and put it in his mouth, tasting the slightly astringent taste and squinting his eyes.
"I want to take you to sit in an air-conditioned room, eat watermelon, drink Coke, listen to music and read books. Would you like to?"
"Very willing."
"Then shall we farm or use the air conditioner?"
"Of course the air conditioner is turned on, and I'm not stupid." Jiang He didn't expect him to ask such an idiotic question, "Necessary suffering is to be eaten, isn't it sick to eat unnecessary suffering?"
"?"
Xu Qing was directly confused.
Jiang He could learn how to speak from him.
"Then you just said that you would take me to farm and let me cut the wheat?"
"I said that I thought about it before, but I didn't say that I still want to take you to plant it now."
Jiang He muttered in a low voice, she came here just to see the wide view here, but she missed it.
The next season's grain has already grown so high.
Life is abundant, machines save time and labor, watering and other things are very convenient, and crops have become more productive. This is a great era.
Sure enough, people are greedy. After satisfying the problem of food, the demand will move towards a higher place. If you still hold on to planting crops and don’t let go, you will be regarded as a fool.
At least he would be laughed at by Xu Qing, instead of lying at home drinking coke and blowing on the air conditioner, he would come here to cut with a sickle... He had already laughed at it just now.
"Sometimes it feels unreal," she whispered.
"Normal, I sometimes feel unreal."
Xu Qing held the straw in her mouth and supported her back with both hands, looking up at the sky with only a few thin clouds.
"Don't think too much. The more people think, the more tired they become. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. Teacher Xu will always answer you."
"whispering sound."
Jiang He snorted, lowered his head and fingered the leaves of the weeds, but didn't make any more noise.
An ancient bumpkin and a modern youth sit together on the edge of a field, each thinking about their own affairs.
The sound of chug chug came from a distance, from far to near, a small broken motorcycle rode on the road, chug and drove away again, leaving only a trail of dust hanging behind the car like a tail.
"Go back?" Jiang He turned his head and said.
"No more shopping?"
"It's nothing to see. I thought I could see a large piece of wheat and corn, but..."
I saw a large piece of corn, but it was not the kind of large piece of imagination. The endless plain was completely covered by the knotted corn stalks, and I could only see a piece of green branches and leaves in front of me.
"Don't do anything else?" Xu Qing stood up and looked around.
"do what?"
"There are some exciting things to do in the cornfield."
"If you like, I can let you know what is exciting." Jiang He's eyebrows twitched.
"You misunderstood. I mean there is no one here, and there is no monitoring. You can use lightness kung fu to let me see if you can run as fast as that motorcycle."
Xu Qing looked at the dust in the distance, and the image of Zhou Xingxing and the charter woman running wildly on the road with rounded legs popped up in his head.
It's an exaggeration, no matter what, it should be fairy-like, the worst thing is to run fast and jump high.
"Not yet." Jiang He shook his head, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and prepared to go back.
"Ok?"
"It's good to be a normal person, you said."
"..."
Xu Qing was silent for a moment, smiled and held up an umbrella, "Yes, let's go back."
The two turned around and walked back in the direction of Beicheng District. Jiang He jumped twice, caught up with Xu Qing's arm, and hid under his umbrella.
Although it is silly to hold an umbrella in Xia Tian, it is Xu Qing who is stupid, what does it have to do with Jiang He who is hiding under the umbrella
