"Sister-in-law Cui, sister-in-law Wang, have you picked out the seedlings yet?"
A cold voice sounded, and the two aunts were having a lively discussion. They froze when they heard the voice, and turned their heads to look over. It was Ying Xun's serious face, as if he was about to eat people.
"It's so fierce, tell me what's the matter." The tall aunt murmured in a low voice, dragged the short aunt away, and pretended to be whispering, but in fact she was telling Ying Xun, "He is a Beijinger now. Well, how can we think highly of us..."
The sound gradually faded away, and I felt that the surrounding noise was much less. It was because everyone had done the preliminary work and went back to sleep.
Ying Xun turned his head to look at Rong Yu, and saw that he lowered his head, stepped in front of him in two steps, and stretched out his hand to press his head: "Don't listen to their nonsense, parents are..."
"I know." Rong Yu interrupted him, raised his head with clear eyes: "I know."
Ying Xun didn't quite understand the meaning of Rong Yu's words, but felt that he seemed to have figured out something, but this feeling was not good, and even made Ying Xun a little flustered.
"I know, you don't need to say it," Rong Yu emphasized again, and then said: "Didn't you say to go to Beijing before? I will go."
Ying Xun was taken aback, and wanted to ask Rong Yu what he meant by "know", but seeing Rong Yu turned his face away, and helped carefully put the seedlings on the tricycle into Ying Xun's basket.
Ying Xun saw that he didn't want to say anything, and he didn't force it. In the final analysis, Rong Yu still couldn't trust him now, not to mention brothers, even his friend Ying Xun didn't know whether to count or not.
The seedlings on the tricycle have to be transferred to the baskets and carried to the paddy field, where there is a big plastic basin for the cart of seedlings. The two walked two times, and on the last trip, Rong Yu told them, dragging the tricycle and leaving first.
"Don't worry too much about him, Xiaoyu will grow into a man slowly." Father Rong sighed softly.
"Yeah!" Ying Xun said, but deep down in his heart, he didn't want Rong Yu to grow up so quickly. He hoped that Rong Yu would be the same Rong Yu before the child-changing incident, reckless and flying.
Rong Yu went to the seedling field first, because the seedlings were limited, he was afraid he would shovel them, so he didn't dare to shovel them, so he squatted on the edge of the field and pulled up the seedlings that couldn't be shoveled at the edge, and when Dad Rong and the others came over, Rong Yu has pulled out several.
Ying Xun and Dad Rong shoveled together, and this time they only shoveled half a car.
Father Rong dragged the tricycle to the rice fields, and asked Ying Xun to take Rong Yu back to bed first, and he would pull the tricycle over there and leave it there before he could go back.
"Aren't you afraid that someone will steal it?" Rong Yu asked blankly.
"I'm not afraid." Ying Xun replied, pulling him away from Father Rong at the crossing.
Rong Yu frowned and thought for a while before he came up with a problem. Before Ying Xun let him look at the car, he didn't want him to pick it up, not because he was afraid of being stolen. After all, they picked the rice seedlings tonight and put them in the rice fields first. Why don't they steal the rice seedlings in the rice fields, but steal the ones placed on the tricycle by the side of the road
Rong Yu figured it out, and was so angry that he wanted to kick Ying Xun, but was dodged, and chased him all the way through gritted teeth.
When Rong and Ying Xun returned home, it was almost twelve o'clock, took a shower, climbed into bed, and fell asleep instantly.
The next day the room was still dark, but there was the sound of pigs screaming outside, followed by the sound of chickens, Rong Yu woke up with a start, and found that there was no one around him, so he quickly got up. But this time he was not in a hurry, because he could hear voices and everyone hadn't set off yet.
Rong Yu came out with the washbasin in his arms, and Ying Xun had already started preparing things, such as hats and water.
"Xiao Xun, the steamed buns are ready. Two baskets are eaten in the morning, and two baskets are taken to the field." Rong Yao poked his head out from the kitchen, saw Rong Yu got up, and said hello: "Morning."
"Morning." Rong Yu scratched his head, ran to the well to fetch water, squatted by the well and brushed his teeth. From time to time, he could still hear the voices of other people in the village and the sound of tricycles rolling over from outside.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The ancient clock chimes the time, five o'clock in the morning.
Rong Yu turned his head and looked at Rong Yao who was running into the lobby room with the buns in his hands. Now that she has finished her breakfast, she wakes up so early!
Although Rong Yu was very sleepy, the cold well water splashed on his face a few times, and he became more awake.
Breakfast is white porridge with sweet potatoes, steamed buns, and dried shrimps steamed with watercress. It is very appetizing.
The door was locked, and the five set off. Father Rong carried two rakes, and Rong Yu held a big umbrella. Ying Xun carried a big basket covered with a piece of cloth, and underneath were kettles, steamed stuffed buns, and bowls for drinking water. It was a bit like an aunt going out to the market. Rong Yu looked at it, looked at it again, and then smiled sullenly.
Rong Yao was puzzled, and leaned over to ask him why he was laughing.
Rong Yu pursed his lips tightly to prevent himself from laughing, and spit out two words: "Aunt."
Rong Yao looked at Ying Xun and laughed out loud.
Ying Xun was discussing with Father Rong whether to plant the other third of the field together, he heard the laughter, turned his head, and saw Rong Yao leaning forward and backward with a smile, his eyes were fixed on his basket, his brain flashed, When he realized it, he narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked kindly, "What do you look like? Sister-in-law?"
Rong Yao: "No, hahaha, like aunt."
Ying Xun immediately got a black line, and stretched out his hand to grab Rong Yao, but was dodged nimbly, and said with a smile, "Okay, stop the ice drink business."
"Rong Yu said it." Rong Yao sold his brother for money without hesitation.
"You..." Ying Xun turned his gaze to Rong Yu, who immediately hid behind Rong's mother, raised his chin, and snorted softly, "Don't spill the water and buns. If you're hungry in the morning and have nothing to eat, it's your fault."
Ying Xun stepped out, thinking about it, now is really not the time to settle the score: "Little bastard, I will go back tonight and settle the score with you."
"Hmph!" Rong Yu hummed twice, not afraid of him.
When the five people rushed to the ridge, the sky was gray and bright, the rice fields had been loosened, and the water was mixed with the upturned mud. The quartered fields looked quite wide.
"Xiao Xun and I are raking the fields, and we are taking Xiao Yu with us far away!" Father Rong explained, rolled up his trousers and went to the field, Ying Xun carried the rake and followed Father Rong, Rong Yu looked at him, and laughed again, which was received by Ying Xun There was a look in his eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Rong Yu stuck out his tongue, pretending not to see.
"Xiao Yu, follow." Rong Yao dragged a basket of seedlings and followed Ying Xun and the others. When he reached a corner of the field, he stopped and rolled up his sleeves and trousers. Rong Yu followed suit, but because the fabric of the trousers was Polyester, slippery, didn't get it right.
After Rong Yao finished it by himself, he knelt down and pulled out the grass, tightened it directly, and tied a small rope.
Rong Yu: So it can still be like this.
The plowed fields are not level, and to level the paddy fields, labor is required. It turned out that this could also be raked with an ox, but the Rong family didn't have an ox, so it cost money to plow the field, and Father Rong didn't want to spend any more money.
Rong's father and Ying Xun took a rake to break up the loosened soil along the water, and Rong's mother took Rongyao and Rong and planted rice seedlings.
"Xiao Yu, look, put the seedlings on your left hand, then pinch four or five of them with the right hand, pull them out, and then insert them," Rong Yao said while demonstrating, "Remember to line up! The distance between rows is about fifteen centimeters."
Rong Yu listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.
The three stood in a row, with Rong's mother in the first place, and the two behind just followed Rong's mother. This simple action was not done very well. When plugging in and plugging in, he turned to one side, and then he Unplug it and plug it in again.
Rong Yao watched happily: "Xiao Yu, you don't need to insert too much, three or four cases are fine, take your time."
Mother Rong also said: "Xiao Yu, rest when you are tired! Don't worry."
Rong Yu stood up, his waist twitched, aching. But he didn't say it out, neither mother nor Yaoyao spoke, so he replied: "Yes, I see."
Transplanting rice seedlings is very hard work, even harder than cutting rice. The latter can squat, but the field of the former is full of water, and it takes less than a second to plant a hand of rice seedlings. Squatting is too time-consuming, and you have to bend over of.
Rong Yu just bent over for a while, and his waist was a little unbearable, but when he stood up, he saw Rong Yao and Rong's mother bending over and thrusting quickly, and then he gritted his teeth and bent down again.
Ying Xun watched from a distance, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart ached badly.
Secretly made up my mind, just this season, there will be no second season.
The sky was slowly getting brighter, and the scorching sun spread on the field. It was stuffy and hot, and my body was already drenched, and sweat fell from my forehead like rain.
Rong Yu's head was a little dizzy, he kept bending over, with water, mud, and seedlings in front of him, and suddenly remembered why he escaped in his previous life, and he was afraid of this kind of darkness, facing the loess and turning his back to the sky!
"Why don't you go get the hat?" Ying Xun stepped on the water, put the hat on his head, and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Rong Yu bent down for too long, his head was hanging down, and his blood supply was a little bit insufficient, and his head fell on Ying Xun's chest.
Ying Xun hurriedly helped him up, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Rong Yu shook his head, feeling a little out of breath, probably because it was too hot: "It's nothing, I bent down for too long."
"You're not used to it, take your time." Ying Xun actually didn't want to let Rong Yu go to the field, he thought he could just come. But his mother and Rong Yao were also in the field, so it was impossible for him to give such a suggestion to his father, let alone Rong Yu would not agree.
"Understood." Rong Yu straightened his hat, felt his feet itchy, grabbed Ying Xun's arm, raised his feet, and stretched out his hand to scratch, but why is it a little soft
Rong Yu raised his foot, lowered his head, his pupils widened instantly, and he saw a brown worm sucking on his calf—
"Ahhh..."
The scream pierced the sky, and a young man exhausted all his strength to jump up from the rice field, then hit the water, jumped up screaming, and fell into the water again...
Like a cat with its tail clamped, it screams and runs and jumps all over the field.
Ying Xun was also startled by Rong Yu's sudden movement, and before he had time to catch him and ask what was going on, he had already jumped to his father's side.
Fortunately, Rong's father moved quickly, and when Rong Yu jumped over, he caught him and asked loudly, "What's wrong?"
"... bugs, bugs, bugs..."
Although Rong Yu was grabbed by the arm, his feet were still jumping, and his voice was choked up.
Father Rong had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly lowered his head, his calf was bare, and there was nothing. At this time, Ying Xun also rushed over, and quickly lowered his head to check his feet, and they were indeed gone.
"It's gone, it's gone," Ying Xun saw that his eyes were red with fright, he raised his hand, carried him out of the water, strode towards the field, and comforted him, "It's the grass that covers the black, don't be afraid." , don't be afraid."
"Really?" Rong Yu hugged Ying Xun's neck tightly, with his legs clasped around his waist, not daring to touch the water, his body trembling slightly, "But, I saw it."
"You are dazzled, and they told you not to bend over for too long." Ying Xun walked to the ridge of the field, put him down, took him to the ditch, squatted down, and scooped up clean water to help him wash his calf. The water is all released from the reservoir, and it is very clear, unlike the chaotic water in the fields, which makes Rong Yu feel a lot better.
The mud on the calf has been washed, and it is smooth.
"Look down, it's really gone." Ying Xun propped his hands on his lap, raised his head, and encouraged. This matter must be confirmed by himself, otherwise it will easily leave a shadow.
Rong and nervous toes dug up the ground, hands clenched into fists, carefully stretched out their heads to look at the calf, it was really gone. Then I looked at the other side, and nothing. Look at the soles of the feet, there are no more.
But, he clearly saw it!
There were three other members of the Rong family in the field. Seeing the movements of the two, they knew that the matter should be over.
"Dad, are there really leeches?" Rong Yao asked
"I didn't see it, it might be because I haven't sucked it in yet, and Xiao Yu jumped off it." Father Rong replied.
Rong Yao thought for a while, picked up a blade of grass, and walked towards Rong Yu's place, but before he arrived, he saw a blade of grass crawling on top of the seedling. Picking it up with grass, Rong Yao walked towards the ridge of the field, saying, "Dad, it's true, don't let Xiaoyu come down. When he jumped towards you just now, I was afraid that he would jump onto the rake."
Rong Yao threw the leech onto the stones on the ridge of the field, then picked up another stone and smashed it into mud.
Although Xiao Yu is cute when he jumps up, you scared him to tears.
After this experience, even if Ying Xun told him that it was dry grass, Rong Yu didn't dare to go down to the field anymore, and Rong's father and Ying Xun didn't dare to let him go down. He just jumped so high and fell down. It's not good to go anywhere.
Fortunately, the raking of the field was almost done, and with the addition of Father Rong and Ying Xun, the efficiency suddenly increased. Rong Yu went to move the seedlings for everyone, because he was not used to picking, he always carried them to the field one by one.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the field had finally been planted. Standing on the edge of the field, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
I didn't eat the buns I brought over, but we were going back, so everyone took one and gnawed it back, and put everything in the tricycle. Rong's father was pulling the tricycle, while Rong's mother walked aside, feeding him from time to time.
The three little ones walked behind, and two of them saw Rong Yu peeking at his calf from time to time, presumably that incident cast a shadow on him.
"Dad, shall we save someone to pick mulberry leaves tomorrow?" Ying Xun asked as if suddenly remembering.
"Mulberry leaves? In the afternoon, oh, yes, yes, you have to leave someone at home to pick the mulberry leaves. If you don't pick them, the silkworms will have nothing to eat." Rong's father was twisted at the waist by Rong's mother next to him, and he understood. They originally planned to take a nap at noon and pick them in the afternoon. Since Xiaoyu is afraid of bugs and wants to help, and will plant five-cent fields tomorrow, they should not let him go and pick mulberry leaves.
"I'm too lazy to climb the mountain, so I have to transport it down after I pick it up, let's go." Rong Yao bit the bun and replied casually.
"Xiao Yu, are you successful?" Rong's mother said, "Let Yaoyao go, she will be transported down the mountain by a girl, afraid that she will not have enough strength."
Rong Yao: Mom, I can lift a hundred catties of rice!
"It's done." Rong Yu nodded, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, holding his claws in his heart, he must feed the silkworm baby fat.
In the morning, Father Rong discussed with Ying Xun that they would plant the third field in the afternoon, so they decided not to go at all. Because they would plant rice seedlings at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, but Rong Yu couldn't be allowed to pick mulberry leaves at that time, for fear that it would be dark when he went down the mountain and accidents would happen. But Rong Yu didn't go to pick mulberry leaves, and he couldn't go to the field with them, so he kept Rong Yu at home for fear that he would think too much, so he simply repaired the roof of the kitchen that day.
The roof of the kitchen is paved with asphalt. When it is repaired, two pieces are added and nailed tightly. It takes less than half an hour to fix it.
Because the fifth field where the seedlings will be transplanted the next day has raised seedlings, there is no need to transport the seedlings. In addition, everyone did not sleep much last night, so we went to bed early tonight.
Ying Xun was the last one to enter the room. Seeing Rong Yu, he looked at his calf from time to time, sighed secretly, closed the door, sat on the bed, and stared at him.
Rong Yu was looking at his calf. He always felt that there was something there, and it was uncomfortable not to look at it, but he didn't expect to see Ying Xun staring at him when he looked up. He asked strangely, "What's the matter?"
"When I was carrying the rake today, what were you laughing at? And, aunt?" Ying Xun raised his eyebrows: "Who is aunt?"
"I, I don't know what you're talking about." Rong Yu shrank back on the bed, thinking of Ying Xun's appearance carrying a rake today, he smiled again.
"Still laughing?"
"I just laugh, just laugh."
"It seems that if you don't deal with you, you will soon climb on top of my head."
After the words fell, Ying Xun stretched out his hand and grabbed Rong and his waist——
For a moment, the room was full of laughter.
After a while, the laughter stopped, and someone finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Rongrong, good night."
