Dress like a farmer

Two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it started to rain.

The drizzle of rain is endless, as if to make up for the regret that there has never been a single drop of rain during the busy farming season.

August 24.

It was cloudy in the morning, and it started raining again when we had breakfast.

Father Chen frowned and glanced out of the window, and muttered softly, "It's raining again."

"It's fine if it rains." There wasn't any rain in the whole summer, and the fields were very dry. Now that the crops have just been planted, it's good to have a few more rains.Old man Chen was quite happy: "It just needs to be such fine and dense light rain, which can soak the fields and moisten the crops little by little."

"I'm 22 today!" Father Chen pulled out his voice.

Liu Guixiang smiled: "The days go by so quickly." She knew what Dad was worrying about.

"It's only 22, and it's still early." Chen Yuping smiled and said comfortingly: "It has been raining for several days, so I guess I should rest for a few days."

Old man Chen was immediately delighted: "You said it lightly, it depends on whether God appreciates it or not."

"It will definitely be rewarding. 26 is such a good day. Dad, you even went to the temple to ask. Even asking three times, it was very smooth."

"That's true."

Just thinking about the crops, old man Chen really didn't think about the upcoming marriage of his third son.

Rainy days are good for crops.

But if it's going to be a wedding and a banquet, it's God's bad luck.

Old man Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the foggy sky outside: It won't rain tomorrow, the sun will be out for a few days to dry the ground, and the big day will be more lively when the third son gets married.Well, the sun will come out from tomorrow, no more rain.

After breakfast, those who should go to the field should go to the field, and those who should be busy are busy.

Old man Chen cleaned up the stove, took a broom and carefully cleaned the house, moving boxes and cabinets without missing any dead corners, sweeping little by little.

This seems easy, but it's actually a lot of work.

Thinking of 26, his third son was about to get married, he was very happy, and wished that the house would be open and bright.

That is to say, there is no sun on this day, otherwise, he still wants to wipe the tables, chairs and cabinets, and put them in the sun to dry after wiping, so he can only use a clean cloth towel to dust off the dust.

Chen Yuping came from the courtyard with an oil-paper umbrella, and when he was standing under the eaves to collect the umbrella, he saw Dad struggling to move the cabinet from the corner of his eyes: "Daddy, what are you doing?" He put the umbrella in the corner, strode into the room, and He helped to move the cabinet away: "This cabinet is not light."

"It's okay to be idle. I cleaned and cleaned. I haven't cleaned it for several years. It's full of dust and cobwebs."

"You can take it easy by yourself."

Father Chen changed to a clean broom, stepped on the small stool, raised his head and raised his hand, and swept the back of the cabinet: "Stay away."

"Father, I'll come, I'll come down, you come down, take care of the floor and I'll sweep it." Chen Yuping was worried.

"The children are all in the courtyard, why are you delaying me?"

"The hammer is here, I let him watch the child."

Father Chen smiled: "This kid is so simple and honest." He gave the broom in his hand to the third son: "Stand firmly on the stool. There is no rush for this matter, you have to take your time. We only have a few rooms, and I Cleared two rooms."

"You can do it!" Chen Yuping gave a thumbs up.

Seeing that we are about to get married, there are really too many things, complicated and cumbersome.

On today's 22nd, Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu discussed temporarily closing the business for a few days. As for the closing days, it's uncertain. Let's talk about it after we get married.

The customers in the store knew about this great event, and they all asked for fun, if they could have a meal on their wedding day to enjoy the happiness.

Naturally a warm welcome!

Getting married is always a lively event, the more people there are, the more lively and festive it will be.

Getting married is like this once in a lifetime.

Knowing that the store was closed because they were busy getting married, everyone was very enthusiastic, and they said what they could do to help, and they just asked if they needed it.

I didn't make a fuss about asking, when will the store open after a few days off, etc.

In private, Chen Yuping smiled and sighed with Cui Yuanjiu: The regular customers in the store are all lovely people.

On August 23, it was cloudy and the sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain at any time.

As a result, the whole day was quiet, with the autumn wind blowing slowly, wrapped in a faint coolness.

Everyone in the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the sun was about to clear up this day.

That's great.

August 24, sunny.

At about Chen's time, the sun rose from the east, revealing a shy half round head.

On this day, the shops on South Street and the food stalls at home were also closed.

A large family of more than a dozen people sat or stood crowded in the small kitchen, talking and laughing while eating breakfast.

Breakfast is stewed noodles.

There is a large pot of fragrant marinade, and you can put as much as you want.

The noodles are knife-shaved noodles, which taste particularly chewy.

Not enough, there is still dough in the crock pot, and it is very easy to make the next bowl of sliced ​​noodles.

"The sun is out!" Old man Chen looked outside the house, and smiled cheerfully: "The sun has been out for two days, and the drenched ground is hardened, so it will be easier to hold a banquet later."

Chen Yuanqiu took two bites of noodles in soup. The stewed meat was sliced ​​thinly, and the stew was very tasty. The sliced ​​noodles were thick and chewy. Chewed in his mouth, the more chewy, the more fragrant the more delicious. Fresh, refreshing and spicy ,Stimulate! "It's been raining these days, and it's time for the sun to come out for a few days."

"Are you really planning to go into the deep mountains?" After worrying for several days, the sun finally came out, and Father Chen settled down to worry about other trivial matters.

Cui Yuanjiu wanted to go into the deep mountains yesterday, but the weather was not cloudy or sunny, so he was detained and refused to let him go.

The sun is out today, he can't sit still, he must go to the deep mountains.

It just so happened that Shen Le and Chen Yuanqiu were both at leisure, when they heard that they were going to go into the mountains, they happily jumped three feet high, even clamoring to go together.

Chen Yuping could see it clearly: "It's not like going back to the deep mountains, just go if you want." He believed that Yuan Jiu, who was about to get married, would not make mistakes at this juncture.

"Let Yuan Dongzhiwei and the two of them go together, and the left and right things are pretty much the same." Old man Chen still wants to go, just thinking about it, he is old, so he won't join in the fun: "Be smarter, Listen to Yuan Jiu, what he says is what he says."

Zhang Zhiwei, who buried his head in the meal and ate with gusto, heard his father-in-law call his name, looked up, and immediately nodded: "I see."

In the Chen family, he said these four words the most.

It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, you should answer first and then speak.

He is quite personable!

It would take a whole day to go deep into the mountains.

As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put down here, Father Chen, Chen Yuping and his son rolled up their sleeves to prepare dry food.

Liu Guixiang and Chen Yuchun cleaned up the stove.

Old man Chen and Wang Tiechui looked at the children. As for Cui Yuanjiu and the others, they were looking for things they needed to enter the mountain.

In a moment, everything is ready.

Facing the golden sunshine in the morning and the refreshing autumn wind, they walked towards the mountain with their heads held high.

Going back in the morning and returning in the evening is very rewarding.

There were eleven pheasants and hares in total, and two nests of bird eggs, two wild goats, a silly roe deer, a large bamboo betel piled up with wild vegetables and fruits, and several bundles of firewood were picked up, which were solid. The dead branches are solid wood, very resistant to burning.

Cui Yuanjiu originally thought that he would be able to catch two wild boars on this trip into the mountains, and there would be wild boars to eat on the wedding day, which would also add a bit of dignity and excitement to the wedding.

Unfortunately, he thought beautifully, far from the good luck he had last time.

If one was unlucky, they caught a lot of other wild game, which could be called a good harvest, which made others envious, especially the two wild goats, which were extremely rare.

"Tomorrow I want to go into the mountains again."

Chen Yuping looked at him: "Tomorrow is 25, and you still want to run to the mountains?"

"I'll go and have a look." Cui Yuanjiu didn't give up: "If you find traces of wild boars, come back before evening, and if you don't get anything, come back before noon."

"alright."

Cui Yuanjiu still wanted to go to the mountain, but both Father Chen and Old Man Chen disagreed, but the third son nodded, and Cui Yuanjiu was determined to go and see, so they had to agree.

The people are still the same as yesterday, Chen Yuandong and Chen Yuanqiu are two brothers, Zhang Zhiwei and Shen Le, five people together.

Thinking about getting back before noon, it took half an hour earlier to enter the mountain today than yesterday.

The sky was bright and the sun had not yet risen. When the sun rose to the top of the head, the rich smell of food wafted from the village. The Chen family pushed back and pushed back the lunch, waiting for the return of the people who entered the mountain. Until the end of noon, no one came back. .

Father Chen muttered: "You shouldn't let them go into the mountains. It's already 25 today, and tomorrow will be a happy day. Don't stay home and do trivial things, go into the mountains to catch some wild boars. It's this hour, and I won't see them anymore." return."

"Maybe I caught a wild boar." Chen Yuping smiled and replied: "Yuan Jiu said when he left, if he found a trace of a wild boar, he would come back later."

"How can a wild boar be caught if you catch it..." Mr. Chen muttered, then shook his head and walked out: "You are the only one with a good heart."

"Father, where are you going?"

"Go to your uncle's house for a walk."

Chen Yuping said: "I'm going to Uncle's house now, isn't it too early? If you don't come back in the evening, it's not too late to go." After a pause, he said: "There are a lot of people going back this time, so it must be before evening." can come back."

"I don't have time for your leisure. I'm going to talk to your aunt about the trivial matters of holding a wedding banquet. There are many people and the scene is big, so nothing can go wrong."

"Oh." Chen Yuping smiled embarrassingly.

Father Chen looked at the embarrassment on his third son's face, snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly.

The sun was about to set, old man Chen couldn't sit still, he thought it would be easier to find people by gathering people to go to the mountains while the sky was bright.

Chen Yuping couldn't hold back his father's heart, seeing him walking out, he could only follow step by step, turning his head to look towards the foot of the mountain from time to time.

It's time to come back, why haven't you come back yet, can't something really go wrong?

Before I knew it, my mood was actually affected, and I became worried about gains and losses, and my heart was restless.

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Three loud barks sounded from a distance, and the sound gradually approached.

Chen Yuping's eyes lit up immediately, a little excited: "Father, it's Ah Hei's voice, they're back!"

While talking, I saw Chen Yuanqiu rushing towards him: "Third brother, father, we caught wild boars! There are two very big wild boars, father quickly called uncle and the others to help."

After shouting at the top of his voice, he turned around and ran down the mountain again, and Ah Hei, who was following him, also turned around jerkily.

"I'm going to ask someone to come into the mountain to help." Old man Chen froze for a moment, laughed hahaha, and rushed towards the elder brother's house like the wind under his feet.

Chen Yuping couldn't stay still, and said something to the stove house and father, and then hurried to the mountain.

Really caught a wild boar.

The corners of the mouth were raised, and there was a deep smile on the eyebrows and eyes.
