"Xiao Tingzi, hand the green onion to your father."

Wang Xiuxiu smiled and sat on the right side of Xu Dahai. She made the dumplings. Seeing that her man loved eating dumplings so much, she was also happy from the bottom of her heart:

"Are you going to water the ground tonight? Should I go to Wali later?"

"You don't need to go. Just have a good sleep with Xiao Tingzi and the others at home. I'll just go and take a look."

Xu Dahai dipped the dumplings in vinegar and continued eating.

And Xiao Tingzi and the others were talking about the little bird, how soft its fur was, how stupid it was, how small it was, etc.

"Meow~"

The big fat cat was circling around, purring and meowing a few times, praying for some food from its owner.

Soon she got a few rabbit bones, sniffed them, and started eating them.

after eating.

The burly Xu Dahai put on his coat and picked up a metal flashlight. When he was going to the fields, his wife Wang Xiuxiu suddenly stopped him:

"There is a pair of glasses on the cabinet, which seems to have been left by Shen Feng."

"That toad mirror? Leave it on the cabinet and give it to Shen Feng next time he comes again."

Xu Dahai came to the yard. Under the cold moonlight, he put rubber shoes, shovels, thin ropes and other things in the basket, and rode out of the yard on a [-]-inch pole.

It was time for dinner.

Many villagers' homes are lit with orange lights, and the soft light shines through the windows and into the yards.

Xu Dahai quickly drove out of the village on a large [-]-inch pole. In the weeds half a man tall by the roadside, small insects rustled happily, but they became increasingly quiet.

"Hiss~ It's still a little cold after the sun goes down."

Xu Dahai rode south along the main road. After about ten minutes, he crossed a small bridge and turned left onto a small road.

There are large sorghum fields on both sides, the path is narrow, and the moonlight is very dim, so I can only turn on the metal flashlight and ride forward slowly.

After passing a small ditch, Xu Dahai discovered that Xu Erniu's family was also watering the ground. He swung his flashlight into the ground and saw that it was full of water.

"Dad, is it you?"

Xu Erniu is in the fields.

It was dark and he couldn't see Xu Dahai's face clearly, but when he saw him looking into the ground, he thought it was his father coming over.

"No, I am Xu Dahai!"

"Oh, it's Brother Dahai."

Xu Erniu walked out of the field carrying a shovel, and the sorghum leaves scraped against his body, making a rustling sound.

After a few words, Xu Erniu's father, Xu Shichao, came over quickly on a Erba pole, and Xu Dahai left.

The fields of the two families are not far apart.

After pushing the [-]-meter pole for several dozen meters, we arrived at our farmland.

The beans planted in the field were blown by the wind, and the large soybean leaves were swaying in the wind. Xu Dahai helped to straighten the field ridges, and there was nothing else to do.

"Dad, you have been watering the ground all day during the day. If you feel sleepy, just take a nap. I will watch over you."

Xu Dahai saw that the ridges under his feet were a bit small, so he picked up a few shovels of soil, placed them on top, and stepped on them a few times.

"It's okay, you look to the west, I look to the east... This land is three acres, and I'm afraid it will have to be watered until midnight."

Father Xu Houtian lit a cigarette, and the sparks were very eye-catching in the dark night.

After talking for a while, Dad went east.

After Xu Dahai inspected the fields to the west again, he stuck the shovel upright in the soil, looked at the moonlight in the sky and fell into thinking.

Time flies so fast, it has been almost 4 years since I was reborn.

Sudden.

clap clap~

There was a sound of swimming in the bean field. Xu Dahai thought it was a fish and quickly turned on the flashlight. Unexpectedly, he discovered that it was a big rat emerging from the water.

He has wet black fur all over his body and a waving beard. Not counting his tail, it is 25 centimeters long. He has big eyes and small eyes with Xu Dahai.

"Hey! Big rat!"

Xu Dahai raised his shovel and went to shoot it. The big mouse wanted to hide, but unfortunately it was not flexible enough in the water. It screamed twice and was beaten to death.

Dig a hole and bury it directly.

"What's wrong?" Dad's voice came.

"It's a rat, let me shoot it to death."

Rats in this era were much larger than those in later generations. Xu Dahai didn't understand why rats in the future grew smaller and smaller.

time flies.

At around one o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a loud noise from the farmland of Xu Erniu's family. Xu Dahai went over curiously and found that he had caught a wild rabbit.

Wait until two o'clock in the night.

The river flooded to the south of the farmland, so Xu Dahai went to the river to stop the machine, but Xu Erniu's sorghum field had not yet been watered.

"Have you finished watering the ground?" Xu Shichao shouted with a smile.

"Well, we and you are going home first!"

By the time the two men returned to Xujiatun with the things for watering the ground, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

Xu Dahai was so sleepy that his eyelids trembled, and he slept until noon the next day. He woke up just in time for lunch.

Wang Xiuxiu picked a few cucumbers in the backyard. After washing them, she cut them into two pieces vertically. They were perfect for dipping into sauce.

“This kind of gherkin is still delicious!”

Xu Dahai sat next to the Kang table, holding a flatbread in his right hand and a cucumber with dipping sauce in his left hand.

Big bites, big chews, delicious food.

Wang Xiuxiu's eating style was much more elegant. She took small bites of the cake and said with a smile:

"I watered those two cherry trees just now, and my second-rich wife happened to be killing geese.

She said that the little girl should go to her house to eat goose meat tonight, and she asked us not to cook for her. "

"Ah, then let Xiao Tingzi go." Xu Dahai understood after a moment's thought that this should be considered a courtesy exchange.

The days passed by.

As the weather gets warmer, not only the weeds on the roadside, but also the crops in the fields are growing better and better, and the vegetables and fruits in the back garden are also maturing one after another.

Eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peppers... I can't finish them all, I can't finish them at all.

Fast forward to June 1988, 6, Saturday. It rained lightly last night, but the sky finally cleared up this morning.

Because it was the weekend, Xiao Tingzi didn't go to school.

Early in the morning, Xu Dahai took the little girl and the dogs to go fishing. The little girl ran behind with her short legs, so happy.

Wait until after ten o'clock in the morning.

When the father and daughter came back, not only were there seven or eight large grass carp and carp in the basket, but Xu Dahai was also carrying a large catfish weighing seven or eight kilograms.

"Such a big catfish!"

Xu Junhao happened to walk out of the canteen, holding a pot of vinegar in his hand.

"Yeah! Just good luck." Xu Dahai said with a smile:

"Come to my courtyard, let's cook catfish and roast eggplant!"

The catfish and eggplant were cooked to satisfy the old man - it was indeed delicious. Xu Junhao's eyes couldn't help but light up, but after thinking about it he still refused and said with a smile:

"My mother roe deer is going to kill her cubs. It will take a day or two. I have to keep an eye on her at home."

Xu Junhao thought for a while and asked curiously:

"Uncle Hai, you have a lot of roe deer in your family. Do you have any young ones?"

"Yes, last night two female roe deer started to kill their young."

After chatting with each other casually, Xu Dahai carried a basket and a big catfish and went home with his daughter and dogs.
