"Your donkey is really powerful." Sijin smiled a little reservedly. This Xiaomao was originally the poorest and most pitiful in their village. Many adults in the village said that he would not live to be an adult, and no one wanted to play with him after working every day.

Well now, all the children in the village envy him, look at him who can ride a donkey, hug three dogs, and eat a big bowl of rice every day, last time he came to Xiaomao's house, he saw him eating I ordered a big bowl of white rice, and meat, even his dog can eat meat. He was afraid to talk to Xiaomao when he was fetching water at Xiaomao's house, because he was afraid that he would see him swallowing his saliva.

"Come and eat some peaches before going to work." Lin An took out a few peaches from the basket and stuffed them into Si Jin's hands, and then took a few more Augusts to fry.

"I don't want..." Sijin was a little embarrassed, and said no but didn't walk away.

"Hold it, take it, we pick a lot, and there are too few people to eat it all." Lin An also saw that he was embarrassed, so he stuffed it directly into his hand.

Lin An looked at the peaches and first picked out some big ones. They were eaten directly. The rest were washed clean and boiled in cold water. Wait until the water boiled before adding sugar. Lin An’s family was running out of sugar. After finishing these, there is only half a bowl left.Waiting for the peaches boiled in sugar water to be cooked, then take them out and drain them, and then use an oven to light a fire and then dry them slowly. Lin An is also fooling around, because his parents handle dates in this way in his hometown of.

These peaches are different from jujubes, they are a bit sour, especially after they are boiled, even if they add a lot of sugar, they are still sour. Lin An can't eat them, but Xiaomao likes them very much.

Now there are a lot of things, and when there is nothing in winter, maybe it will taste good when you take it out.

On this day, Lin An was watering the vegetable field, when he heard Xiao Mao enter the garden with the dog in his arms and told him that tomorrow he would sacrifice to the sky, and the rice would be harvested after the sacrifice.

Lin An didn't understand this, but Xiao Mao was very excited, because this day the village would prepare some melon seeds and peanuts, which were all from the clan, and Lin An didn't know the specific operation steps.

"What are we going to do tomorrow?" Lin An poured down the last ladle of dung, and now he has been completely reduced to a housewife.

"No no no need."

"That's good." Although he hasn't been to the city recently, he is not idle, and there are endless things to do every day.

On the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, Xiao Mao woke up early and put on new clothes. After Lin An bought clothes for Xiao Mao, he never wore them again except for the day when he tried them on. I took it out and dried it, it's really precious.

"Finally willing to wear it today?" Lin An washed his face and looked at Xiao Mao jokingly.

"Grandma said it." People in this era value this kind of sacrifice very much, so even if the family is poor, they will try their best to wear their best clothes on this day. Xiaomao's previous clothes are all It was broken, so at most it was clean. He dared not go forward because of this every time. This time it was fine. With new clothes, he could watch the dance as well as everyone else.

The sacrificial time is at noon. The middle-aged men and young men in the village will wear masks, beat gongs and drums and wear animal skins and walk past each house. The more neat the better, the final location of the team is the intersection of the river and the rice field. Those men will dance until night, and then the villagers will start to worship one by one, praying for more food from God.

This sacrifice lasted until the evening, and it was not really over until the bonfire was extinguished. Lin An had only seen this kind of scene on TV.

It's just that the sacrifices at that time were different from those in this era. The people here really believed that they would be blessed by the heavens, and they prostrated themselves on the ground devoutly. No matter what their usual life was, at this time they absolutely held With an incomparably reverent heart, I pray for the blessing of the gods.

The next day, Lin An got up early in the morning. Before he crossed over, he only had a rough memory of cutting rice in his hometown. Most of the people in the village were more diverse than Lin An and the others.

Now I just hope that this day is not a joke, and it must not rain at this time. Those families who have a good relationship will take care of their own affairs and go to help other families. Lin An’s family is young, he is not in a hurry Well, the night before, I prepared the meals for the next day. If Mr. Tian and Xiao Mao were together, it would take two days at most.

The weather in early autumn is a little bit cooler, but it will still be unbearable at noon. Lin An wears a lot of clothes, and his skin is very sensitive, and it is easy to get a rash when he touches these.

Just as Lin An imagined, it took him and Xiaomao two days to tidy up this acre of land. After this is done, it is more difficult to operate than cutting rice. Lin Anguang spent It took three days. The key point is that the labor intensity these days was too great. Lin An couldn't lift his hands at the end. What's more, the rice produced after being tired for such a long time was not much. , and it is still shriveled and damaged a lot. How much rice can be produced in the end is another matter.

It may be because of the recent autumn harvest. Many family members came near the village. Looking at the fields that have been harvested, they will secretly pick up the missed rice. Everyone has a bad life these years. How much can this be? To pick up leaks for these refugees?The rice of Lin An's family can be harvested quickly, so the field is turned over several times almost every day.Lin An didn't chase those people away, he just said don't mess with those straws, he's still useful.

After Lin An's rice was harvested, Uncle Li's also cut it. Lin An went to his house and asked if there was anyone in the village who knew how to tie straw. His family didn't plan to burn the straw, so he tied it up and put it at home.

"I will do this, and I will help you when I finish my work in the field."

"Then I will thank you in advance."

"Your family only eats so much for two donkeys? It's not easy to store these things. It's not like summer in winter." Uncle Li has a cow at home, so he thinks that Lin An intends to save this fodder to feed the donkeys.

"I have other plans for this grass. After I tie it up, I will put it directly at Xiaomao's house. It will be useful at that time." Lin An thought that if he really planned to grow mushrooms, it must be a big shed. There is no mushroom here. For plastic film, use straw as the roof, and these things are all ready-made, no need to spend money.

"Your boy has a clever head, so you have another idea?" Although the harvest is not good, looking at the harvested rice in front of him somewhat dilutes those worries.

"It's a little bit, so I made a plan in advance. At that time, I may have to take back all the straw that I rented out, so I will give it at the price of ten yuan a day." The straw in the two acres of land is probably more than enough.

"This... I'm too embarrassed to ask for it. The money to buy food last time was also borrowed from your family. You haven't paid it for a while. You haven't done business during this time. Anyway, you have finished your busy work. The meal is done, I have made a lot of money from your family, I can’t do this, if you are like this, then ask others to help.” Uncle Li said that this is also a little embarrassing, the five hundred Wen , his family can't get it out for a while, and looking at the harvest, they might ask Lin An for something in the future, so the money means they won't ask for anything.

Lin An didn't hold back Uncle Li and could only nod his head first. Before leaving, he asked Uncle Li if there was any pig seller. This summer has passed, and there are many things to prepare for winter. He didn't go there during this time In the city, I haven't eaten any meat for a month. The chickens he raises are half grown, but I still expect them to lay eggs and bring up cubs.

"Pig? I have to ask about this. I will help you when I am free. During this period of time, you should also pay attention. Maybe some traveling merchants will bring piglets into the village, and they can be exchanged for rice. , it just depends on luck."

Uncle Li came to Lin An's house two days later. Because there was no meat, Lin An also cooked a big pot of white rice. Although it was an autumn harvest, the harvest was not good. No one dared to spend as much as Lin An did. Uncle Li held the bowl and sighed for a long time.

"This little hair is here with you, so it will grow well." Uncle Li ate with a bowl of satisfaction on his face. He hasn't eaten a full meal in a long time. This is also at Lin Xiaozi's house. If he was at someone else's house, he would be like this Eating, probably being scolded as a reincarnation of a starving ghost.

"It's improved a lot, this kid has grown taller." Lin An looked at Xiao Mao's face, and his complexion was no longer sallow. Although it was dark because he was outside every day, his complexion looked good.

"Your home is in good condition, and the food and drink are good. It's hard not to grow well. When Grandma Mao went there, many people in the village were still waiting to see a joke. Like I asked about you, if there are daughters in the family who want to marry, and if there are many sons, they also want to send them here." Uncle Li laughed and felt that there were too many unscrupulous people.

"This is flattering me. I haven't been to the city for a long time now, and I have no income. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to wait until winter." Lin An said as if thinking of something again.

"By the way, if I go to collect the rent, what should I do if I meet those who don't cooperate?" Lin An thought of the two brothers he met when he went to see Tian last time. At that time, Mo Si was there and beat them One fight, this time he can at most bring Xiao Mao alone, I'm afraid he can't win the fight.

"Your house shouldn't be rented to such people at that time. They are used to rascals. When your grandmother was there, they always invited a few men from the village to go with them. Otherwise, they would not be able to please." Li The uncle took a mouthful of rice, and then opened his mouth again.

"Tell me when you're going, I'll find a few people to go with you, didn't you say you want Tian back? I see that Lizheng is not busy these days, what do you call him?" As a proof, their family will not dare to say anything at that time.”

"Let's get up together." After hearing this, Xiao Mao immediately raised his hand, expressing that he wanted to be with Lin An.

"Okay, I'll have more helpers at that time." Lin An felt a little uncomfortable right after he finished speaking. He didn't know if he was too tired during this time, or if he felt weak all over his body, and sometimes he would break out in a cold sweat. If you just sit for a while, you will feel better again. At first, Lin An thought he was hypoglycemic, so he did not treat himself badly by eating three meals a day. Waiting for the day when the renter gets it back, I will go to the town to see the doctor.

The author has something to say: Oh, more recently because I want Mo Si to appear sooner (today I coded until Mo Si appeared for the second time, and there are already more than 3 manuscripts! I look forward to seeing this post today. The response of the chapter, this chapter of the manuscript hehehe
