Early the next morning, Mrs. Chen was radiant and unusually gentle. When Zhu Ping'an came out, he saw Mrs. Chen tidying up his father's collar. When he saw his two sons coming out of the bed, he immediately put down the clothes that were tidying up his father's collar. There was an embarrassed blush on his hands and face.
After all, this is not the 21st century, an era where affection can be shown without any scruples, Zhu Ping'an sighed inwardly.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The autumn harvest is approaching, and the crops are entering the filling period. I need to finish watering the ground before my grandfather and his family come, otherwise my relatives will be busy for a few days. After dinner, Mr. Zhu took his father, third uncle and eldest brother to the fields to engage in intense irrigation work.
The eldest uncle was studying for exams and never participated in farm work.
As for the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle, uh, the fourth uncle had a stiff neck when he went to bed last night...
By the way, since Zhu Ping'an came here, this is the third time that my fourth uncle has been sick. Every time he got sick while doing farm work... The first time was when he caught a cold while sleeping at night, and the second time was when he woke up at night and bumped his head ( By the way, are you a pig?), this time I simply had a stiff neck while sleeping. These reasons are too nonsense, okay? You can tell at a glance that you are running away from laziness, but my grandmother believed it.
Grandma is really partial.
While the men were working, the women were also busy. Grandma, mother, and sisters-in-law sewed purses, made handkerchiefs, and weaved cloth. In short, they just stayed busy.
Zhu Ping'an watched boredly as Zhu Pingjun rode a stick as a horse, and Zhu Yu'er chased the chickens happily. No matter how hard he concentrated, he couldn't see the luck on other people's heads. Maybe he saw the luck on other people's heads. It also requires conditions. Anyway, don’t be in a hurry, just explore slowly. I was thinking about sneaking out to think about life and look for ways to make money. It's just that I can't go into the mountains, otherwise I will definitely find good things in the mountains. After all, the mountains are endless treasures.
Before Zhu Ping'an could sneak out, his grandmother had some instructions. She ordered him to run errands and buy five cents of thread for needlework.
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to do this kind of errand work. It was too unskilled, and his grandmother was too meticulous. Even if the thing she bought was half a penny less, her grandmother could tell right away, and there was nothing wrong with it. , If you make a bad purchase, you will be scolded.
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to go, Zhu Pingjun didn't want to go either, and Xiao Yu'er was too young to go.
So, Zhu Ping'an said to Zhu Pingjun in a serious voice, "Go ahead. Don't you have a horse? You can run fast on a horse."
After hearing this, Zhu Pingjun happily took the money, slapped his butt, and drove away.
IQ is crushing.
Zhu Ping'an silently looked at Zhu Pingjun who disappeared at the door, lamenting that life is lonely, and the most lonely thing is that he still can't show it.
While my mother and others were busy in the house, I sneaked out and wandered aimlessly in the village. I planned to sneak to the neighboring village of Shanghe Village to see what their private school was like.
Before he could take a few steps, he saw that Er Niu, who had often played with me in the past few days, was being pushed to the ground and spanked by his mother. While spanking, he was giving a lesson, "Tell me, do you dare to snatch my sister's things to eat in the future?" "
"How dare you steal my sister's food and eat it!"
Hit it, ask it again, hit it, ask it again.
Erniu, a naughty kid of five or six years old, screamed after being beaten, and swore with a runny nose, "I promise that I will never take my sister's food again. If I take my sister's food again, I will be a bitch." Raised.”
Bitch? Zhu Ping'an couldn't take a breath and almost choked. You are really talented.
really
Then I saw Er Niu being lifted up by his mother, taking off the soles of his shoes, cracking them, and beating him again.
Xiahe Village is close to the river bank and is on the lower reaches of the river, so it is called Xiahe Village, and the one upstream is called Shanghe Village. The two villages share this river. This is an unknown small river, formed by a collection of mountain streams. The water is so clear that people call it Qingxi.
Zhu Ping'an didn't go far when he saw the river. There was a small boat in the river, and some people were fishing on the small boat. There were also women gathering in twos and threes by the river to wash clothes. They used the blue stones on the riverside to use sticks on the water. Prioritize the beat.
A little closer to the river bank, you can see small fish and shrimps playing in the water plants. You can't see such a clear river in modern times.
Across the river is the endless mountain behind the village, which is lush and green. You can hear the chirping of birds and animals in the distance, and you feel that the products are rich.
Xiahe Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. There is a mountain in front of the village and water behind the village. The trees on the mountain are lush and the fish and shrimp in the water are abundant. Poverty should not be fostered.
Zhu Ping'an was thinking as he walked along the river bank, and unknowingly reached the end of the field. The Zhu family was dredging ditches and watering the fields on the river bank, watching clearly.
"Xiao Zhi, why are you here? Are you okay at home?"
Zhu Shouyi, his father, Zhu Ping'an, who saw Zhu Ping'an running by himself in the distance, strode over and asked. Zhu's father was shirtless and rolled up his trouser legs. His feet were full of mud and he was holding an iron shovel in his hand.
Only then did Zhu Pingan realize that he had unknowingly arrived at his home. Looking at his worried father, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but raise his chubby face and said, "Dad, there's nothing wrong at home. I'm here to help."
Zhu's father felt relieved now. He looked at Zhu Ping'an's little arms and legs and smiled, "How can you help? Go over there and guard those fish. Go back and ask your mother to make soup for you."
Grandfather and others also came over. Brother Zhu Pingchuan also held a yellow water melon and handed it to Zhu Pingan, "Brother, wash and eat. There are many more by the river."
My grandfather greatly appreciated Zhu Pingan's behavior of running to watch adults doing farm work, and hoped that Zhu Pingan would also be a good farmer in the future. In the eyes of my grandfather, land is the foundation. Even if you are a high-ranking official with a good salary, you must have land to feel at ease.
Okay, we can't run around now.
Not far away, his family was watering the ground. Zhu Pingan was resting his head on the green grass, guarding several palm-sized grass carp in a newly dug small puddle next to him, gnawing watermelons boredly.
It's crunchy, fragrant and sweet, leaving people with endless aftertaste. This kind of watermelon is about the size of a fist and has black lines. I don't know if it can be sold at a good price in the town.
Because of the convenience of river water, more than half of the family's fields have been watered by the end of the day, and it will take about half a day to finish watering tomorrow.
Sure enough, the fish soup we drank in the evening made Zhu Ping'an, who didn't have much meat taste, feel like he was eating it.
After dinner, my grandfather waved his hand and said, "Second brother, you and Dachuan won't have to water the fields tomorrow. Let's go into the mountains and see if we can hunt some game. When your uncle and the others come, we can add some meat dishes." "
The father in the family is more versatile, so it falls on him to go hunting for game in the mountains.
