Chapter 4: Tolerance and doing farm work

Views:

Rural people always get up early, and the one who gets up higher than the rural people is the rooster. The rooster's "woo woo" cry is clear and loud, and can penetrate several layers of walls.

Rong Yu fell into a drowsy sleep. He pulled the quilt over his head, but he threw it away because of the heat. The rooster crowed in his ears, which could drive people crazy.

When did Ying Xun raise chickens

Content and irritability covered his ears, exhaustion made him continue to sleep, drowsy, it seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a while, the cock crowing stopped, but soon, the cicadas were overwhelming, and he couldn't stop it even if he covered his ears live.

Angrily, Rong Yu kicked hard, his foot hit the bed with a loud "bang", Rong Yu immediately opened his eyes in fright.

Beams, red tiles, where is this

Rong Yu blinked, his mind was a little dazed, he turned his head to look around, and found himself in a familiar yet unfamiliar room.

Rong family.

Put your fingers into your mouth and bite, it hurts.

That's right, he's back, from the 21st century back to when he just graduated from junior high school, this time he didn't choose to respond to his family, but withdrew his hand at the end, and followed his father back to Linshui Village .

There was no clock in the room, and last night he put his watch in the suitcase after taking a shower, so he couldn't tell what time it was at the moment, but the sun was shining into the room, so it must be very late.

Rong Yu hurriedly got up and was about to put on his shoes when he realized that they were not the sneakers he was familiar with, but a pair of rubber slippers left by Ying Xun, which were dusty and bigger than his shoes. His eyes turned to the sneakers he put in the suitcase, he looked at them quietly for a while, then looked away, and went out in slippers.

The ground is paved with clay, and when it dries, little dust flies around. It is only a short distance, and Rong Yu's feet are already covered with a layer of dust.

Opening the door of the main room, there is a layer of plastic cloth on the ground in the yard outside the door, and the recovered millet is being spread out on it. Rong Yao is squatting by the well to wash the quilt. Hearing the voice, he turns around and smiles at Rong He: "Wake up, I I thought you had to sleep a little longer!"

"Yeah!" Rong Yu rubbed his eyes, standing at the door, his mind was a little dull, and it took him a while to realize that it was time for him to wash up, but what about toothbrushes

Yes, inside the house.

Rong Yao watched Rong Yu walking back like a sleepwalker, and after a while came out with a basin and a towel toothbrush, and said, "You're still sleepy, sleep a little longer!"

She turned her eyes around Rong Yu's body, she was very familiar with this outfit, it was Ying Xun's clothes, why did Xiao Yu wear Ying Xun's clothes

Knowing that she has a thin skin, she didn't think about asking.

"No," Rong Yu squatted beside Rong Yao, poured a spoonful of water into the cup, dipped his toothbrush in the water, squeezed the toothpaste on it, and asked, "Do you want to cut rice today?"

Rong Yao was a little surprised. Rong Yu hid in the house for the first two days and refused to see anyone. He even brought meals to the room. When he went out on the third day, he pretended to be calm and wanted to do farm work with him. Mom knew that he was still not used to it, so naturally she refused to let him follow, but he insisted on going, but the young master of fourteen years could not adapt to the high-intensity farm work, and he cried secretly when he was in the field, and he started to have a fever when he came back at night , burned for two days.

On the sixth day, the fire stopped, and he did not propose to do farm work. He stayed at home by himself. He seemed to want to help cook a meal at night, but he almost burned the kitchen down. On the seventh day, that is, yesterday, he ran away .

Rong Yu was tall and tall when he came, but his face was a little fat. Now the baby fat on his face has disappeared, and he has lost weight very quickly.

This is not only a sudden change in eating, but also depression in his heart.

This was the first time that Rong Yu took the initiative to ask about work, and after yesterday, she always felt that Rong Yu was different, as if she no longer resisted and accepted everything now.

"The rice in two fields has been harvested, and there is another field that will take two days to ripen." Rong Yao secretly sighed, the farm work in the summer vacation was busy from the holiday to the start of school, and this was the reason why she hated summer vacation when she was a child.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, one brushed their teeth and the other did laundry.

Rong Yu didn't leave after washing. He helped Rong Yao carry water, bucket after bucket of water was hoisted up from the well. It was the first time he was inexperienced. Rong Yu was almost pulled into the well by the bucket. Fortunately, Rong Yao grabbed him Clothes allow tolerance and a firm foothold. But with the experience of lifting water for the first time, the second time is much easier.

Soap is still used in rural areas, and it is easy to clean the foam from the quilt, and the water will be clear after two trips. Each person grabbed one end of the quilt and twisted it in the opposite direction, and the water rushed out of the cloth. In the end, they almost collided with each other. Then they hung the quilt on the bamboo pole, and then used three wooden sticks to spread it from the middle.

Next to the bamboo root is the clothes Rongyu washed last night, which is still wet, why is it wet

Tolerance and feel strange.

"Your clothes haven't been washed. I'll wash them again. You can take them back later." Rong Yao is not familiar with the previous family, but she heard from her mother that it is a rich family with servants and cars. Knowing that in the three villages near them, the only motor vehicle is the tractor in the village next door. If anyone wants a Phoenix brand bicycle, it will save face when they go to the town.

Rong Yu was raised as a young master, and he was taught to wash clothes by himself, so it's not surprising that he can't wash them clean.

Rong Yao went back to the house with the tub in his hand. Seeing that Rong Yu was still standing still, he urged: "Come in and have breakfast, it's almost ten o'clock, you must be hungry!"

"En!" Rong Yu responded, and followed Rong Yao into the lobby, seeing her enter the room, it was hard to follow her.

When Rong Yao came out, he saw someone standing there in a daze, and said with a smile, "Get the bowl yourself!"

Farmers don't pay much attention to it, and the pickle jars are placed on the dining table, and they are eaten directly on the table.

Taopo Township in Xingnan County is located at the intersection of the north and the south, and its food is towards the south. In the morning, porridge is served with sweet potatoes, steamed buns and buns. Taopo Township does not produce wheat, so they have to buy flour. For a family like the Rong family It is said that if you can save, you will save.

What's more, there are two people in their family who are going to high school this year, and Dad Rong is so worried that he can't sleep. Ying Xun told Rong Yao before the high school entrance examination that he would go to the county to work in the county to earn tuition after the summer vacation. God, someone came from Ying's house.

Simple food was crude to Rong Yu before, and he even refused to eat it at one time, but after experiencing things in his previous life, everything that Rong Yu sees now is delicious food.

Half a child, eat poor old man.

This is true, Rongyu ate two palm-sized sweet potatoes and drank two bowls of porridge.

Rong Yao was dumbfounded when he saw it. The previous meal was a bowl at most. Except for the sweet potatoes on the first day when he came here, he didn't touch them again. Could it be because he decided to stay and his appetite improved

"That," Rong Yu looked around, seeing that the house was still empty, he hesitated and asked, "Dad, where are the parents?"

Rong Yao was taken aback, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "They have gone to the market, let's go, come with me to pick silkworm leaves."

Apart from my father occasionally digging wells to earn some money, the only source of income in the family is the silkworms in the family. At the beginning of this year, my father wanted to go out to work like other people in the village, but unexpectedly, after my mother became seriously ill, my father changed his mind.

The two put on armbands, hats, brought water, and went out with a basket on their backs.

Linshui Village has less land and more people. When the land was divided, some families had more fields, and some families added fields to hills. The Rong family is the second type. Two hills add an acre of land. The annual grain production is excluding taxes. Yes, there was just enough to eat.

The mountain of Rong's family is also a long way from home, and the two of them walked for almost twenty minutes to get there. The mountain is not too high, and there are only sweet potatoes and silkworm trees planted on the mountain of Rong's family. The silkworm trees are not high, reaching about the waist, and without machines, they can only be picked one by one.

It was the hottest time in July, when the temperature reached 33 degrees. The two of them picked mulberry leaves under the scorching sun, and their bodies were soaked in a short time. It's good that Rong Yao is used to farm work, although it's uncomfortable, he can still bear it, tolerance and...

Turning around, Rong Yao paused. She thought she would see Xiao Yu who was secretly crying again, but she didn't expect that he, who was soaked all over his body, picked it seriously and shuttled among the silkworm bushes. . Should she get to know this younger brother again? Why does it feel like his younger brother has changed his core after only one day

The two picked it for almost three hours, and not only was the basket full, but a sack was also filled.

Stopping and stopping, the two returned home. Father Rong and Mother Rong happened to be unloading things in the yard, and saw the two of them rushing up to meet them.

"You, why did you let Xiao Yu go, and pick them when I come back!" Rong's mother was a little confused when she saw that his face was blushing, and she was a little dazed. I came back an hour later with a fever, and then ran away, this time, this time...

"I'm going." Rong Yu said quickly, seeing everyone looking over, he instinctively lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I want to help too."

"Okay, don't talk for now, put down the pannier quickly." Father Rong quickly walked around behind Rong Yu and took down the pannier.

Rong Ma dragged someone into the house and asked if it was hot or not, and if she was thirsty.

Rong Yao swayed with the basket on his back, making a face at the main room.

"Put it down too, go in and take a rest and drink some water." Father Rong knocked on Rong Yao's forehead, dumbfounded.

"Yes." Rong Yao put the basket on the ground and ran into the house, took a sip of the water handed over by his mother, and after his mother confirmed that the younger brother had no fever and left, Rong Yao approached Rong Yu, and said angrily, "Mom and Dad don't care. It hurts me."

"No." Rong Yu held the water in his hand and drank it one mouthful at a time, with joy and sourness in his heart.

"That's weird, hee hee," Rong Yao leaned on Rong Yu's body, and whispered, "I saw meat in the basket, I'll eat meat tonight, do you want to eat it?"

"Think." Rong Yu swallowed, he really hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

After a short break, the two were rushed by their parents to change clothes. They simply took a shower and put on the last set of clothes that Ying Xun left behind. His behavior was also noticed by others, Rong's mother turned around and secretly wiped her tears, and Rong's father's eyes were also red.

Rong Yu didn't notice everyone's strangeness, so he took back the stylish and brightly colored casual clothes in the yard, folded them properly, put them in the box, locked it, and scrambled the code. Drag it to the back of the closet and put it away, get up and look around the room, an old bed, a bedside table made of two stools, a closet with a door missing, and a fan cut out of mud, this is what belongs to tolerance and realness life.

The fourteen years of flying recklessly were nothing but a dream.

The Rong family's dinner tonight is very rich, a dish of roasted pork with soy sauce, a dish of cold cucumber, and a dish of stir-fried vegetables. After eating, the family of four enjoys the shade in the yard. It will be about eight o'clock and they will go back to sleep. Get up early to pick silkworm leaves for backup, and start farming again the day after tomorrow.

Rongyu's amount of exercise today is the most in his life. He didn't feel it in the afternoon. He couldn't lift his arms a little bit. He went back to the house and lay down and fell asleep soon, but his brows were tightly clenched, and he couldn't feel comfortable all the time.

At this time, at the Beijing Railway Station, more than 2,000 kilometers away, a man with a backpack on his back stepped on the train bound for Taopo Town.
