When he arrived at Southeast Dianzi, Haizi drove the carriage into Caodianzi, then propped up the carriage with wooden sticks, unloaded the two horses, tied the reins on the bridles to the horses' front legs, and then put the horses on Open and let the horse graze on its own.
This is a small meadow, triangular in shape. To the north of it is a small water bubble, thirty to forty feet long and wide. It is the main water source for Mr. Yun's family to water and cultivate their fields in spring. There are fish in the lake in summer, and they can only be fished out in winter. , now is not the time.
Haizi led Monroe to a field by the lake and said to Monroe: "This land is close to the water and next to the meadow. There are many lettuce and vegetables. Let's dig here. We will fill the baskets soon." Full."
"You go let the horses go, I can dig them myself. Besides, I don't bring that many knives, just one."
Monroe seemed reluctant to let Haizi help dig wild vegetables. This was not because Monroe did not want her child to be around, but because Haizi got up early and should not be too tired. He should be allowed to rest for a while.
"Am I not carrying a scythe? The horses have already tripped me, no one needs to watch."
Haizi did not listen to Monroe, but squatted down to help Monroe dig up wild vegetables. Haizi considered that Monroe didn't work very often, even digging wild vegetables, so she might as well help her.
When Monroe saw Haizi digging a handful of vegetables, he wanted to go to her and put the vegetables into the basket. It was a bit troublesome, so she advised him: "Go and have a rest. It's very tiring. I can do it alone, and I don't have to dig too much." Just enough to eat."
Haizi said nothing and continued to help her dig wild vegetables.
At this time, the braying of a donkey was heard from the paddock where the horses were grazing. The two of them looked over there at the same time, and saw a big black male donkey running over from nowhere and letting the horses directly towards Haizi. Two horses galloped away.
"Isn't this your big black donkey? Why did it escape?" Haizi was a little confused.
"Then take it back with you when you go back, and let it eat some grass during this period."
While the two were talking, the big black donkey had already howled and ran up to the red horse. This big black donkey is a male donkey. It has a strong body, well-proportioned limbs and is an excellent stud.
The big black donkey seemed extremely excited, and its braying was high-pitched and bright, passionate and wild. After the big black donkey and the red horse licked and sniffed for a short time, they quickly climbed on the back of the red mule and horse, and...
Haizi suddenly felt a strange surge of blood in his body and couldn't help but look back at Monroe. Monroe's face was red and she was staring at the actions of the donkey and the horse. Seeing Haizi looking at her, she quickly squatted down.
"Ignore it, let's continue digging for food." After Monroe finished speaking, she felt something was wrong, so she then added: "How about you chase the big black donkey away? Can my father let him?"
"Donkeys and horses can give birth to mules together. Mules save material, are hardworking, and can't even give birth to young. They are easier to feed. The owner will definitely agree."
"I always run into things like this when I go out with you. Are you a bad person?"
Monroe felt that something had gone wrong, so the two stopped talking. However, Monroe was a little absent-minded at this time. She followed Haizi and watched him squat down to dig wild vegetables. However, she didn't do much digging herself and seemed to be admiring Haizi's every move.
After a short time, the basket was almost full. Monroe smiled and asked Haizi to stop digging wild vegetables: "Just dig these. That's enough. I see you are sweating on your head."
"The horse hasn't eaten enough yet, why don't Fifth Miss go back by herself first?"
"It's okay. Let's go back together. I'll go to the puddle to pick the lettuce and wash it. Then I'll save myself the trouble when I get home."
"Then let's go to that small shack. There is water and shade there."
So the two of them walked towards the small shack next to the puddle. This small shack is a temporary resting place and shelter from the rain when the Yun family watches the water, grazes, and looks at the green grass. It is not commonly used. It is located next to a slightly higher mound in this puddle and is currently idle.
Just as the two of them were walking towards the small shack, the big black donkey brayed again and climbed onto the back of the red horse... This beast is so energetic and endless, they both thought so. .
When they came to the small shack, Monroe said, "You go in and rest for a while. I can just pick them."
Haizi nodded. He seemed to feel that his heartbeat was a little faster when he was with Monroe. It would be better to leave and let Monroe be alone, so Haizi walked into the unused shack.
There are small windows on three sides of the small shack, and there are no wooden doors at the front entrance and exit, so you can see from all sides. You can see the lake on the right, the horses on the fields on the left, and the entire black land in front.
There is a small earthen kang in the shack, which can only accommodate one person lying on it. There is grass on the kang, but no one is burning the kang, but it is not cold this season, so it will certainly be very comfortable to lie on it.
Haizi sat down and looked towards the meadow at the donkeys and horses grazing leisurely. Then he looked over at the quiet water surface and the reeds more than two feet high that had grown out of the water near the bank. He felt very happy. He sat there for a while, then lay down very relaxed.
The spring light was still bright outside the small shack, and the melodious chirping of birds could be heard in the distance, along with the cheerful calls of nearby insects, low and long. The time around noon is so quiet, nourishing both the brain and the body, making people feel very comfortable.
Haizi wanted to sort out what happened during this period, but his mind was very confused and he couldn't think of a clue. He thought, what should he do in the afternoon? When can I go home and have a look?
Ever since I went to the tomb to call Duanlong's soul, I haven't gone home to see him for almost a month. My mother will definitely miss her very much, but since I am a long-term employee of the Yun family, I can't go home if my boss doesn't allow me to do so. Mom can't make such a request either.
The mother spoils her children, but she strictly requires them to abide by the rules and not do things they shouldn't do. Even if they go home to check on such trivial matters, they have to ask for permission from their boss. The owner’s arrangement.
Even if he was frightened in the tomb, he could not tell his mother about it, because it was not only the arrangement of his employer, but also would make his mother more worried if he told her about it. Therefore, Haizi decided not to talk about it to his mother again after returning home, probably. Mom won't ask, even though she is very concerned about it.
Can you take the time to finish blocking the courtyard wall after returning home this time? What is Monroe doing now? The image of Monroe popped into his mind again and again, driving and pulling him into confusion. Haizi didn't want to think about it anymore, but his thoughts always came and went, intermittently, pushing him into sleep with flickering jumps.
Monroe picked vegetables alone for a while, then looked up at the sun. It was still a long time before she could go home for dinner. Monroe simply sat down, leaning against the wall of the small shack and letting the gentle sunshine warm her body.
This sunlight, like an invisible silk thread, caressed her body, from the outside to the inside, from the outside to the inside, making her body warm and her heart itchy. On Monroe's face with her eyes slightly closed, there were small beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and forehead.
