Chapter 111 Farming: The rough farmhand secretly bullies his master (11)

After the wheat harvest, it is a new round of farming.

Farmers who rely on the fields for their livelihood seem to have no time to rest. As soon as they finish harvesting wheat, they have to plow the fresh wheat stubble on the ground and plant corn seeds.

After the continuous high heat, a long-awaited heavy rain suppressed the heat and brought nourishment to the dry fields, catalyzing the growth of neatly arranged crops in the fields.

After the rain, the water on the ground evaporated quickly, and along with the rain, the unbearable heat also left.

Although the summer heat will only dissipate temporarily, it is enough for people to take a breath and relax in this refreshing weather.

Looking from the courtyard, one or two kites were floating in the breeze under the white clouds in the sky.

The silly young master was tired from studying and walked out of the room, just in time to see it. He was so jealous that he also wanted to fly a kite.

However, kites made of bamboo branches and rice paper are not easy to store. After a period of time, they will become difficult to take off if they get damp, or they will be broken if they are bitten by insects or mice.

There was nothing usable in the utility room in the yard, and there were no vendors pushing carts to sell small items. Even if they asked a runner to buy them from the county town, it would take some time. The silly young master insisted on letting it go immediately, which made Mrs. You and Aunt Xue very troubled.

Fortunately, Xue He knew a lot of things, and making kites was no problem for him. He cut a small piece of bamboo as thick as his forearm from the landscape bamboo forest, split it into small bamboo strips, and then bent them with candlelight, and formed a frame according to the pattern painted on rice paper.

Xue He was quick and agile, and he made things quickly. In no time at all, he had a basic prototype of a swallow-shaped kite.

When the details are added with colored paints, it turns out to be no different from those sold outside.

"Xue He's craftsmanship is quite good." Madam You sat on a bamboo chair and watched, fanning herself with a round fan. Her hair fluttered and brushed across her eyebrows. The sky-blue satin dress made the woman look lively and gentle.

In a blink of an eye, she saw her son looking at her eagerly, and she hit the silly young master on the back of his head with the fan.

"Why rush? It won't fly away. Just let it dry and tie the ball of thread around it."

"Oh"

The silly young master held the crisp peaches in the bowl, ate them in small bites, stared at them intently, and counted the time waiting for the kite to dry.

Water vapor evaporates quickly in summer, and soon the kite was completely dry.

Mrs. You took the outer coat and asked the silly young master to change his clothes by himself, and helped him to take care of his hair.

He took his son aside and gave him many instructions for a long time before letting him go.

The corn in the field is growing well, with broad leaves stretching out and a pleasing green color.

After the heavy rain, the tall green stems grew a lot taller like bamboo shoots after the spring rain, and now reached the height of an adult's knee.

The young master trotted and ran in the fields, flying kites like the children in groups of three or four on the distant ridges.

Xue He was tall. He raised his hand to hold the kite in the air and easily sent it high into the sky with the wind.

"High, fly high!"

The silly young master raised his head high, as if to be level with the sky, holding the thin string in his hand, looking at the kites flying by several children in the distance, then looking at his own kite flying low, not knowing how to make it fly high.

"Loosen up a little, and you can fly higher"

A shadow appeared above his sight, and his wrist was held, causing his hand to loosen its control over the ball of string, letting out the string to push the kite higher.

"It's too high!" The young master's eyes lit up instantly, flickering like broken stars. He turned around and pushed the ball of thread in his hand to Xue He, motioning for him to help.

The sky was azure blue, the dazzling sunlight was hidden in the clouds, and it was not scorching hot. The breeze was mixed with the scent of grass after the rain.

Going further south, the large fields become smaller and closer to mountains, forests and fields. The old trees at the foot of the mountain are full of orange-yellow apricots.

June and July are the seasons when yellow apricots ripen. These wild apricot trees have no owner, and although no one takes care of them, they still grow lushly. The fruits on the lower trees have been picked up by children playing around, and many of the fruits on the highest trees have been eaten by birds.

Only the best growing ones in the middle layer were left, but no one picked them.

There were apricot trees everywhere in the village, so the fruits were not rare, so no one bothered to use the long bamboo poles to harvest the fruits.

The initial enthusiasm that attracted him to the kite soon faded away. The silly young master's temperament was no different from that of an impetuous child. Looking at the tree full of yellow flowers, his attention shifted away from the kite.

He tugged at the farmhand's sleeve, pointed at an old tree in the distance that was full of fruits, and insisted on going over to pick the fruits.

Xue He was also accommodating and didn't say a word of objection. After quickly taking the kite back, he took the young master towards the old tree.

The path was no longer smooth, but was filled with mud and potholes. In order to avoid getting the young master's brocade shoes dirty, Xue He simply picked him up and walked over.

The silly young master didn't understand the issue of face for adults. He just felt that being held saved effort and worry, and he felt good adaptability by shaking his calves.

"Mother, Aunt Xue, Xiao Cui, Yue Niang"

Before picking the fruits, the silly young master was counting the shares on his fingers.

The old tree grew on a section of a roadside slope, and its trunk was tilted sharply. Xue He carried the young master on his shoulders, just enough for him to touch the branches full of fruits.

"Also, Xue He!"

When his palm touched the round fruit and he pulled it off the branch with force, the silly young master counted his name amid Xue He's slightly depressed mood.

The first fruit was casually wiped twice by white hands and handed to Xue He. He opened his mouth and took a bite, only to find that the flesh was extremely sweet.

He looked up and saw the silly young master on his body looking at him intently with his head down. "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet," Xue He nodded in response.

The silly young master felt relieved after hearing this. He immediately threw the broken fruit to Xue He and continued to pick fresh ones.

The sweetness of the fruit naturally attracted many insects to share the food. Apart from those with worm holes, there were quite a few intact fruits that were finally selected.

The trip was in such a hurry that he didn't even bring a cloth bag to carry his things. The young master looked at the fruits on the ground, left and right, but couldn't find anything suitable to put them in.

They were all wearing thin clothes, which would be gone if they were taken off, and they were useless.

Fortunately, Xue He still had a solution. He first took the young master to a nearby mountain spring to rest, picked a few broad taro leaves, washed the fruits that had been soaked in water, and then went to the bushes on one side and pulled out a lot of thin vines that grew on trees. After simple processing, he weaved them into a net bag.

The clothes were thin and light, and they felt a little uncomfortable when leaning against the rough old tree.

The silly young master knew how to enjoy himself. He leaned on the farmhand and ate yellow apricots chilled by spring water. He had a rare moment of peace.

He was curious about everything he had never seen before. He saw the slender vine was so supple in the big hands of the farmhand that he could fiddle with it at will. He found it so strange that he stretched out his fingertips to touch the trembling vine in the weaving, as if it had come alive for a short time.

The silly young master was having so much fun that he unconsciously rubbed the farmhand's side, making the farmhand's weaving movements even more unnatural.

"ah!"

An extremely short exclamation came from the throat.

Xue He looked down following the young master's surprised gaze and quickly turned to the right.

"Hard"

"You, hide something"

The young master was very surprised and even wanted to touch what the farmhand had hidden, but he was stopped by the farmhand who had quick eyes and hands.

"...Master...nothing" The farmhand didn't know what to say and was panicked. He had evil thoughts about the pampered girl, but the person opposite was still ignorant and didn't understand anything.

The men in the escort agency loved to say dirty words. Xue He had heard of men getting together before, but the young master in front of him was still a child in mind. How could he...

This made him feel guilty like a beast.

He thought he could suppress his reaction, perhaps it was because the weather was too hot.

"Yes!" The silly young master felt that he clearly saw it, but the other party said no, which was clearly a lie to him!

"... Young master, sit here and don't walk around... I'll be back soon." Fearing that the young master would pounce on him and cause even greater trouble, the farmhand put down the cane, stood up abruptly, and walked towards the bushes on the side with disorderly steps.

Watching Xue He go deeper into the bushes, You Mu retracted his clear and foolish gaze, held his chin with his hand and couldn't help laughing.

[You've hooked him so hard that his soul flies away, but he still thinks you're stupid] I don't know who is stupid!

Tiandao finally understood that You Mu had played with this fool's character to such an extent that the protagonist couldn't resist at all.

[In the southeast direction, in the distance, is Yue Niang.] When he was sighing at You Mu's high rank, Tian Dao suddenly saw a familiar face in the shade of a tree across two fields.
