Yang Huaming walked and passed the small wooden bridge in front.
To the left of the small wooden bridge is a large field. In the middle of the field, in addition to the winding ridge paths, there is also a large road that can accommodate two carriages traveling side by side at the same time.
The main road leads to the back of Changping Village, and small roads and field ridges can also lead to the village.
On the right side of the small wooden bridge is the tea garden at the foot of the mountain, which is climbed up one level at a time.
Further up, there are mountains and forests, and then there is the majestic and continuous Mianniu Mountain.
When Yang Huaming passed by the small wooden bridge, he encountered small groups of people going to work in small tea gardens after noon, or going to the mountains to collect firewood, or going to the mountains to find villagers who were clearing wasteland.
When the other party greeted Yang Huaming, Yang Huaming was a little absent-minded.
'ah? ''okay. '
These are all his responses, and today's response is extremely perfunctory.
In the past, regardless of whether the person opposite was a man or a woman, as long as it was not too eye-catching, he would stop and chat with the person.
With men, they would take out dry tobacco and share it with each other, take a few puffs together, brag, and talk about which girl in the ten miles and eight villages was the most beautiful and which girl was slutty.
If he meets a woman, he will definitely take the initiative to come up and say hello to her.
A playful smile and even some colorful jokes.
If the other person was thin-skinned, he would definitely have spat at him, blushed and cursed and ran away, and he would have laughed and been very satisfied.
If the other party is aggressive and willing to take risks, then there will inevitably be a verbal battle.
As for the women from farmers' families, only 20 to 30% are reserved, shy and gentle like Bao Suyun and Sun, and most of them are shrewd like Hei Feng.
Often the result of language competition is that they are evenly matched, no one is convinced by the other, but they are all very enjoyable.
But today, Yang Huaming met the men who smoked and talked about the mountains together, and also met the women who were equally matched.
The other party took the initiative to say hello to him, but Yang Huaming's reaction changed from before and became very perfunctory and careless.
It wasn't until he walked over that the people started talking in low voices.
"There's something wrong with Mr. Yang today. He seems to be out of his mind!"
"Yeah, when I meet you normally, I'm always so excited, like I've been given a shot of chicken blood. What's wrong with you now?"
"Maybe something happened. He didn't care when he was walking. He was bumping and bumping."
"Hey, he's not going back to the village. He's going to Lijia Village?"
"Who knows, maybe I go to Lijiacun to do something, take a walk, don't worry about him, go to work!"
…
When Yang Huaming stopped and raised his head, he found that he was standing at the entrance of Lijia Village.
He was too familiar with Lijia Village.
Not only because he had lived and played in this area since he was a child, but also because Xiuxiu later married into Lijiacun. He also visited Lijiacun several times because of some things about Xiuxiu.
Last time, in order to build a house, he also came to Lijiacun several times to communicate with Big Brother Li in Lijiacun.
It can be said that Lijia Village, especially the two big trees at the entrance of the village, and the two big rocks under the big trees, are really familiar to him.
"Why did I come to Lijia Village?"
Yang Huaming raised his head, looked at the farmyards in the front row of Lijia Village, and murmured to himself.
"My feet must have brought me here, hey!"
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. For the sake of my daughter, I will risk my life with this old face!"
…
Next to the woods behind Lijia Village, brothers Li Lao and Li Lao Er were watching the water in the fields.
The rice seedlings have been transplanted to the two acres of paddy field at home, and cotton has been planted.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are also growing at a normal pace, and I water them every two or three days.
In the rice fields and cotton fields, the two brothers, Mr. Li and Mr. Li, would go to the fields with hoes from time to time to look at the water.
'Looking at the water' is a dialect and a jargon.
The so-called watching, as the name suggests, means supervision and supervision.
Farmers all say this because rice and cotton, especially rice at this time, have entered a golden growth period of rapid growth and about to be filled.
There can be no shortage of water during this period, but neither can there be too much water.
Without water, it will become dry, the land will crack, and the rice will become empty shells.
There was too much water, and the roots and stems were soaked and rotted, but there was still no harvest.
So you need to 'watch the water'.
To look at the water is to patrol and check the water conditions in the ditches around the rice fields. If the gap between the upstream fields and your own rice fields is blocked by stones, water plants and other things, and the water cannot enter your own fields, then you have to use The hoe dug out these obstacles and cleared them.
If the gap is too large and the flow of water flowing in is too large, then you need to use a hoe to dig out blocks of earth and stones from other nearby places to block the gap.
If there is enough water in your field, then completely plug the gap. In this way, the water flowing upstream will continue to flow downstream from the ditch next to your field. Other families downstream follow the same principle. water'.
Today, Mr. Li and Mr. Li went to the mountains to cut firewood in the morning. In the afternoon, they grabbed a bite of food and went to the fields to look at the water.
The two brothers were busy carrying a hoe each, and then Li Laoer saw the back of a fish hidden under the water plants in the ditch, and the back was looming.
Li Laoer and Li Laoer made some gestures, and the two brothers cooperated tacitly. Finally, Li Laoer caught a large grass carp of nearly five kilograms from the water.
But these two brothers were so happy!
Five kilograms, Li Lao Er held it heavy in his arms, as if he was holding a fat newborn baby. The fish was struggling hard, and the fish tail was wet with water and slapped hard, which made Li Lao Er His face was covered with water.
When the villagers watching the water in the field nearby saw it, their eyes almost dropped to the ground with envy.
They joked: "Li Laoer, if you can't hold me, tell me and I will hold you!"
Li Laoer couldn't bear to let go. He smiled and joked with the villagers: "If you can't hold it, you have to grit your teeth and hold it. I can do ten more!"
"Yes, men can't say no, right Li Laoer?"
"Haha, I can't answer this."
Mr. Li smiled and came over to help Mr. Li subdue the big grass carp. The two brothers passed a rope twisted from water plants through the big grass carp's cheeks, then tied a knot and carried it in their hands.
"We'll take it home later. The third child must be very excited about it. The boy has been clamoring for meat these days, but he hasn't been given any treatment!" Li Laoer said.
Boss Li nodded, "Yes, I will get you an iron pot to cook a big fish at night, and then call the uncle and several uncles over to eat a piece of fish together."
The parents of the three Li brothers have passed away long ago, but there are still other relatives in the clan.
