The millet in the yard was finally harvested by Rong Yao and Ying Xun. For dinner, they ate chicken soup with eggs and two plates of vegetables. This is a regular dish in the Rong family, the Rong family has long been used to it, Rong Yu is also trying to adapt, and even eats quite happily, only one person should respond to the dense pain in his heart.
After dinner, everyone lined up to take a bath, then sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, and did not return to the house until almost eight o'clock in the evening. Tomorrow, we had to get up to harvest sweet potatoes and pick mulberry leaves. There were quite a lot of things to do.
With a bed measuring 1.8 meters, Rong and Ying Xun didn't mind either. They slept alone on one side, and there was room in the middle, but they didn't expect that the more they slept, the hotter they got. I was wiping my sweat, and my mouth was still moaning, and I was about to wake up, so I simply got up and moved the cabinet away from the window, opened the window, and the wind quickly blew in, relieving a lot of heat.
However, due to the large number of mosquitoes, the mosquito net could not be rolled up, and the window was at the end of the bed, so the wind was limited, and Rong Yu was still sweating profusely.
The people around him finally calmed down and continued to sleep, but Ying Xun worked hard, as soon as he stopped, Rong Yu would moan, and it took until the middle of the night before Ying Xun fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, even though Ying Xun's complexion was tanned, he could clearly see the dark sockets of his eyes.
"Are you a thief?" Rong Yao complained.
"Hot." Ying Xun listlessly dragged the plastic sheet out, ready to dry the millet.
"That's right, I didn't fall asleep in the first half of the night last night. It's mid-July, and it's going to be very hot before school starts. It seems that it's time to spend the night outside." Rong Yao vaguely said while brushing his teeth: "Before, I was with my little one. Yu said, take him to see the stars!"
"Tonight!" Ying Xun yawned, and went into the small hall to move the millet out.
Generally, it takes five to seven days for the farmers to dry the grains, and the millets can be put into the tank until they are put into the mouth and bite.
Drying in the morning and harvesting in the evening, this is a benefit when the weather is good. When the weather is bad, the sun and rain come every hour, which can make people so popular that they can't wait to smash the sky.
Therefore, when drying the grain, people are usually kept at home, otherwise there will be no rice for this year when it rains.
After breakfast, Rong Yao was left behind.
Originally, he wanted to keep Rong Yu, but thinking that he had overreacted to Gu Fufu, he decided to take him to collect sweet potatoes.
The Rong family's fields are basically used for transplanting rice seedlings, and peanuts and sweet potatoes can only be planted in the terraced fields on the mountain.
Today we are harvesting sweet potatoes, we need to cut off the sweet potato leaves first, and then start digging. This work should be done by Xun and Rong’s father digging sweet potatoes, and Rong and Rong’s mother to pick mulberry leaves. It’s almost noon, and Rong Yao will come Deliver meals.
Ying Xun got bored with a few sweet potatoes before calling Rong Yu and Rong's mother over for dinner.
"Aren't you tired?" Ying Xun handed the water to Rongyu, saw his face was flushed, and said distressedly: "It doesn't matter if you pick slowly, I'll help you after harvesting the sweet potatoes."
"I can do it myself." Rong Yu looked at Ying Xun inexplicably, and felt that this person was very strange. He was not familiar with Ying Xun, why did he always do strange things.
Shouldn't he hate him? He stole fourteen years of his life!
Moreover, why did he run back, Rong Yu has never figured it out.
"I know you can do it, but," Ying Xun sighed softly, "but don't work too hard."
The two didn't talk anymore, and they walked for a while before reaching the shade.
Although it is tiring to do farm work, but because the weather is too hot and stuffy in summer, and the weather is in the south, farmers are still used to eating porridge at noon, which is difficult to swallow.
"Here." Ying Xun handed the roasted sweet potatoes to Rongyu, seeing Rongyu looked at him, and said with a smile, "I agreed yesterday, but I didn't roast them for you."
"Thank you!" Rong Yu took a bite, the yellow core was sweet and delicious.
"Pfft," Rong Yao smiled, leaned closer to Ying Xun and whispered, "Xiao Yu likes to squint his eyes when he eats delicious food, just like a little rabbit, right?"
"Yeah!" Ying Xun also laughed.
He is white and tender, with a soft temper, but he likes to arm himself with baring his teeth from time to time.
Everyone finished this lunch very quickly, Rong Yao saw that the weather was fine, and picked mulberry leaves for a while before taking things back.
The Rong family didn't finish their work until the sun was about to set. There were a lot of mulberry leaves and sweet potatoes, and it took three carts to finish the work. It was already dark.
This meal was cooked by Rong Yao, especially the pork belly, which was cut out of the fat and fried in oil, and fried with oil residue. After eating four bowls, he had the same appetite as Rong's father, even Ying Xun also ate three bowls.
The consequence of eating so much is that you are full and walk around the yard clutching your stomach.
"Yaoyao, can you tell me what happened after Rong Rong came here?" Ying Xun squatted on the ground laying a plank, his eyes fell on Rong Yu from time to time.
"Pfft, you are very strange. You call Rong Rong behind your back, and Xiao Yu in front of Xiao Yu. You are split!" Rong Yao made fun of Ying Xun, then thought for a while, and said, "When I first came here, it was really Delicate young master, although he didn't say anything, it can be seen that he dislikes this place, and he doesn't eat much food, half a bowl is a bowl, and he has lost weight."
"...that day, he was going to follow me to the field, and I don't know what to think," Rong Yao didn't quite understand it now, or maybe Xiao Yu had thought about blending into this environment at the beginning, but failed, "I had a fever that night, The fever went away the next day."
Run away on the third day.
"You said Xiaoyu went to the station, but didn't leave?" Ying Xun grasped the point.
"Well, I was squatting in the corner by myself. When I called him, his eyes were red, the whole person." Rong Yao tilted his head, unable to think of an adjective: "It's weird, it's just a kind of giving up, no, accepting fate , Yes, it’s resignation to fate, that’s the feeling.”
"I've tried my best to help with things after I came back." Rong Yao felt sorry for Rong Yu, one day after another, the gap was too great.
Ying Xun listened quietly, but still couldn't figure out what made Rong Yu give up and go back to Beijing in the end.
The yard is a well-trod soil. Rong Yao sprinkled water early on. After drying, the heat dissipated a lot, and then spread a layer of boards. It is cool to lie on it.
Hang up two more mosquito nets, so you won't be afraid of dew.
"Dad, let's plant a tree at the door, this peach tree is too small, it won't bear fruit yet." Rong Yao has already removed the fruitless tree, the shade is not wide enough, and it hasn't grown fruit yet.
"What kind of tree to plant?" Rong Yu turned up and asked, lying on the pillow.
Rong Yao slept across from him, and there was a small road between the two of them, over there were Rong Yao, Rong's mother, and Rong's father. Here is Rong Yu and Ying Xun sleeping together.
"Mango tree? Orange tree?" Rong Yao had no target, he simply found the peach tree not pleasing to the eye.
"Longan is delicious too." Rong Yu licked his lips. He has been here for half a month, and he has never eaten any fruit or snacks, so he is already hungry.
"Pomegranate is also fine." Rong Yao continued.
"Where are the grapes?"
"It would be nice to be able to plant candy trees."
"Chocolate tree."
"What is chocolate?"
This involved Rong Yao's blind spot in knowledge, so he got up and asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, it's a kind of candy." Rong Yu replied, lay down and didn't speak again.
Rong Yao didn't ask any more questions, and was also staring at the sky in a daze.
The stars are shining, and the wind blowing through the grove makes a rustling sound, which makes people drowsy.
"Ah, is that twinkling airplane?" Rong Yao exclaimed in surprise, looking at this "star" that could fly, his heart's longing for the outside world reached its peak, he turned his head and asked Rong Yu: "Xiao Yu, The plane is not big."
"Well, it's huge."
"How big is it?"
"It's as big as our two houses."
"Can you see the people down there on the plane?"
"Can't see it, but you can see a lot of lights, houses."
"very nice."
Rong Yao murmured, but didn't speak again.
The next day, the Rong family got up early again, and the goal was still to pick sweet potatoes and mulberry leaves, and then to harvest peanuts. These peanuts are used for frying oil, and the family's oil for a year depends on them.
The Rong family went on like this for four days before harvesting the sweet potatoes and peanuts, and they called it a day around three o'clock on the last day. Let the parents go back first, and the three younger ones took a detour to pick a lot of corn, and then walked back with their hands in their hands, chatting from time to time.
"By the way, Xiao Xun, when will your silk business start?" Rong Yao asked. Their family's farm work has come to an end, and it will be a month before they get busy again. Transplanting rice seedlings, planting sweet potatoes and peanuts, the middle month will take Raising seedlings and finding someone to plow the land, but this is not a big workload, and parents can handle it.
"Let's set up a stall first!" Ying Xun said, he decided to get some small things to sell when he arrived at the market.
"Didn't you say that instead of selling small things, you want to sell silk?" Rong Yao leaned on his waist, angrily.
"I didn't say to start selling silk now. The silkworms haven't spun silk yet. Before that, we need to have start-up capital!" Ying Xun couldn't laugh or cry. He originally wanted to set up a stall in the town to sell snacks. But think about it, Rong Yao's idea is better than his.
There is a train station in their town, and they sell a lot of food, but there are not many people who sell jewelry. Most of them are made by small workshops in the town, and the styles are not comparable to those in the city.
"What start-up capital?" Rong Yao wondered.
"Travel expenses." Ying Xun replied that in the early stage, he must go to Beijing first to negotiate the business before proceeding to the next step of silk collection and logistics funds.
Silk can persuade villagers to deliver goods first and pay later. The logistics funds are planned to be paid by Father Rong, and he is confident that he can persuade him. He is also very clear about the savings of the Rong family. After all, he was the eldest son of the Rong family half a month ago, and his parents didn't hide from him how much money the family has. , he can get the money.
But because money is too tight, there are still tuition fees to be paid at the beginning of school, and the previous deposits cannot be used indiscriminately. Therefore, it is also very important to start a small business and earn some travel expenses to Beijing.
"Are you going to do business?" Rong Yu asked in surprise.
"It's not you, it's us." Ying Xun said seriously.
"That's right, that's right, Xiao Yu, you don't need to be too sorry for your face, remember to stop in front of the stall then, hehehe." Rong Yao was happy to think of the money flying into her pocket.
"Well, when you go to Beijing to do business, you need a little help!" Ying Xun said with a smile, just accepting this delicate temperament, where he stops, it is a living sign.
"I won't go." Rong Yu refused, and walked home faster.
The two were taken aback by Rong Yu's determination, they looked at each other, and quickly chased after him. They thought Rong Yu would go home directly, but they saw him standing in a daze at the corner of the neighbor's house, motionless.
The two were puzzled, and when they walked over to ask him what was wrong, they were taken aback for a moment.
A Mercedes was parked in the open space ahead.
Rong Yao couldn't tell the brand of the car, but in their town, a Phoenix brand bicycle worth two to three hundred yuan was the object of envy, a car, that was a super rich man.
Ying Xun could tell what kind of car it was, and so could Rong Yu.
The car was parked not far from their house, so one could imagine who it would be.
Rong Yu's hand holding the corn tightened unconsciously, his head was buzzing, and he instinctively turned around and wanted to leave, but Ying Xun grabbed him, and the corn immediately fell to the ground.
"Xiao Yu, where are you going?" Ying Xun held Rong Yu's hand tightly, not letting him go.
"I don't want to go back." Rong Yu pulled Ying Xun's hand away, his expression much colder: "I came to look for you."
When the words fell, Corn didn't care, and ran away.
"Rong Rong." Ying Xun shouted, and quickly chased after her.
Rong Yao was a little unresponsive, saw the direction in which the two disappeared, looked at the car again, and picked up the corn with a sigh. Judging by their reactions, she probably knew who it was.
Sure enough, before she took two steps, she saw Father Rong come out to find someone.
"Where's Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun?" Father Rong was really under pressure from the couple, but fortunately, Mother Rong was someone who had seen the world, so she could handle it.
"Run away," Rong Yao sighed softly, "Father, what are they doing here?"
"Persuade Xiao Xun to go back, saying that Mr. Ying is not in good health and misses him." Father Rong sighed softly, "You go back first, I will find someone."
Seeing Rong's father run away, Rong Yao wanted to run away, but when she thought of her mother alone at home, she had to walk back slowly.
Walking into the yard, I saw two people.
The woman in a beautiful cheongsam, with a graceful and luxurious temperament, presumably is Ying Xun's mother. Standing behind her was a middle-aged man in a suit. He looked a bit fierce, similar to Ying Xun, probably Ying Xun's father.
"Where's Xiaoyu and Xiaoxun!" Seeing her coming back alone, Rong's mother got up and asked.
"Ah, they, they are still picking corn, I'll be back first." Rong Yao thought about it, and it was really inappropriate to tell the story of the two running away, so he continued to lie, "Daddy went to find them."
"Hello." Rong Yao smiled at the two of them, and went to the kitchen with the corn in his arms. The corn was supposed to be boiled for supper at night, but she decided to boil it now.
Father Rong left for almost ten minutes before returning, followed by Ying Xun and Rong Yu.
When the visitors in the main room saw the person coming back, they quickly stood up and looked at the two children, their eyes turned red instantly.
Needless to say, the clothes the two of them wore were all washed white. They had just returned from the fields, and their trousers were covered in mud. They were also wearing slippers that were convenient for going to the fields. Ying Xun responded that his family was dark, and there was no obvious change. On the other hand, Rong Yu's face was flushed from the sun, he was wearing a straw hat, and his slippers didn't fit well, so his feet came out.
Seeing them, they stopped calling "Mom and Dad" cheerfully, but bowed their heads and hid back. How did his little one become like this
