In my days as a farmer

The night in the countryside is very quiet.

There are no dense street lights and no eye-catching lights, only the light from the cracks in the windows of every household illuminates the way back home at night.

——This is the passage that Xu Yibai read in the book before coming here.

After dinner, Xu Yibai, who was full of fantasies about rural life, dragged Xia Dongli up to the roof of their house, and then took N photos from the top facing the sunset, and then facing the village. Fang Xiang waited on the sidelines, waiting for the moment when the Wanjia lights came on.

Xia Dongli gave him a sympathetic look while carrying fruits and melon seeds up.

This is probably a common problem of city people, that is, they still stay in the backward and somewhat romantic scene of rural life N years ago.But soon they will be taught to be human.

At six o'clock in the evening, seeing that the daylight was about to be swallowed up by the night, every household in the village below turned on the electric lights. As Xu Yibai thought, the scene of the first lanterns appeared.

But before Xu Yibai took a few photos, he heard the dynamic beat breaking the tranquility of the night.At first, Xu Yibai thought someone's cell phone had an unnatural ringtone, until he saw the crowd gathered in the village and the lights lit up there.

His expression changed immediately.

"Everything good is just intoxicated yesterday...the wind and rain, the rainbow, the sonorous rose..."

Xu Yibai's whole body stiffened.This, there is also here? !

"Ah, is it a square dance today?" Xia Dongli beside him calmly stuffed a melon into his hand, signaling him to dig and eat it.He looked at Xu Yibai with disbelieving eyes, and wrote lightly: "Xiaojin Village has a rich entertainment life. There are square dance teams, Yangko teams, and folk bands in the village. Among them, the square dance represented our province. Contest."

"It is said that the three teams fought each other in the past two years. During the peak period, the three teams played music there at the same time. Later, the villagers couldn't bear it, so they held a round table meeting and arranged a table for them. Of course, if there is a competition, there will be You can add time. Later, because we don’t delay each other, we will still participate in the activities of the other party.”

Xia Dongli stuffed a few more tissues into his hand, looking very calm, "It's okay, they will only dance for an hour, and they have to go back to supervise the children's homework and overtime at seven o'clock. You can still see what you want to see." A quiet little village."

Xu Yibai:! ! !Is it so realistic?

Xia Dongli is quite open-minded: "The pressure in life is quite high, and it's good to release it, and the music of the square dance leader in our village is very good."

"You know this as well!"

"Yeah!" Xia Dongli was very calm, "Because I pushed his playlist to him."

Xu Yibai: Oh!

He looked at his little friend with a complicated look. Is this the legendary "I can't change my life, I can only integrate into it"?

No, brother, your ability to adapt is too strong!

Xu Yibai paused, and his expression changed suddenly: "Wait, you just said to go back to work overtime?"

Does rural life have such terrible words?

"Well, the leader of the square dance team is the assistant to the head of our village. Recently, the head of our village went to study abroad again, so he handles most of the affairs of the village committee. In the recent rainy season, we must pay attention to flood prevention, so he has to go back after leading the dance. work overtime."

Xu Yibai was completely speechless. He silently listened to the singing from "Clanging Rose" to "Horse Pole" and finally to "Fiery Red Sarilang". His expression gradually became strange, and finally he even hummed unconsciously.

Emma actually thought it sounded pretty good.

Xia Dongli praised his taste, "By the way, our village assistant's ability to arrange dances is also good. "Sarilang" also won an award. This year, it is said that he changed a few more moves and added Mongolian dance. Element, if you are interested, you can go to see it the day after tomorrow, he will be very happy."

"Uh——" Xu Yibai's heart was a little moved, and he was unconsciously led astray, "Then, let me go and have a look?"

"Yeah, if you want to join, just tell him and just dance along. It's actually not particularly difficult."

Xu Yibai was shocked: "How is it possible! I don't know how to dance in the square!"

Xia Dongli comforted the furious old Xu: "The square dance in our village is not only for women, there are also many men, and you can't stay still for this disease. The combination of movement and stillness is the way to maintain your health."

Old Xu's response was - he gnawed half a melon in one go, then put the melon rind in the trash can, turned his head and took a picture.

While a few people were talking, the only remaining daylight sank into the night. Today is the first quarter moon, and only a small bud is exposed on the moon wheel, and the moonlight is faint.

The stars are particularly bright on dark days with moonlight. The light pollution in the countryside is weak, and the air in Xiaojin Village is so high that the visibility is high. The starry sky is like broken diamonds falling on the dark blue flannelette. There are countless numbers. How many.

The night wind was still a little cool this season, and Xia Dongli sat on the recliner with her feet curled up and swiped her phone.Xun Yao went down for a while, and when he came up again, he held a small USB desk lamp in his hand: "It's not good for your eyes to look at your phone in total darkness."

Xia Dongli shrank back and asked him to clamp the small desk lamp to the back of the recliner. Seeing that Xun Yao was going downstairs, he was a little puzzled: "Xiao Yao?"

"The rice doesn't dare to come up, I'll go and accompany it." Xun Ao said to him, "It's cold at night, don't fall asleep."

"I know, we'll go down later." Xia Dongli met Xu Yibai's subtle gaze as soon as he finished speaking, and he was immediately alert: "Why?"

Xu Yibai simply put down his phone, carefully sat cross-legged on another recliner, and then grabbed a handful of melon seeds while nibbling and said: "Your family Xiao Xun is quite considerate, this is to give us a space to communicate .”

"You think too much!" Xia Dongli also put down his phone, "He is a person with amnesia, and he has never learned this, how can he have this awareness?"

"Emotional intelligence is something that many people are born with." Xu Yibai held his chin, "Did you tell him about your studies?"

"How can it be so fast?! I have to ask the police station if it is feasible." Xia Dongli shook his head, "I have to wait until I have asked him and sorted out the information before talking to him, otherwise if he I agree but find that I can’t read it, isn’t it empty joy?”

"You are really digging out your heart and lungs." Xu Yibai sighed a little.Xia Dongli gave him a blank look: "Don't talk so nasty, this is the basics of doing things."

The first 99 steps have been done. It may not be good to do the last step, but it must be bad if you don’t do it. This is the truth that young people who have experienced severe beatings in society understand.

Xu Yibai was also a little helpless, he looked at Xia Dongli and then at the surrounding environment, his eyes showed a bit of complexity.

Seeing this, Xia Dongli teased: "What? You still envy my three-acre land? Are you an academic, aren't you happy? Isn't your leader awesome?"

"That's not true, it's not to this extent, it's just a little embarrassing." Xu Yibai shrugged, "I thought he was awesome before, with a golden spoon and a golden brain and good resources. After walking with him for a while It's not easy to find out, and there are times when you have to compromise."

"Ah!" Xia Dongli silently picked up the melon and waited for the little friend to share the story. The appearance made Xu Yibai's eyes roll to the sky, and he groaned, "You are not an expert, I told you You don’t understand either, anyway, you just feel a little bit emotional.”

"What's the biggest emotion?" Xia Dongli asked vaguely.

"Because he approved my sick leave, I think he is still a human being." Xu Yibai said firmly.

Well, it's really a very simple look and feel.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Xia Dongli heard the heavy sound of going upstairs, and the sound of "boom" after taking a step really didn't seem to be made by Xun Ao. walked out.

It's not easy!The structure of stairs is not very friendly to four-legged animals, especially Xiaokang's weight is still there, and the action of climbing stairs puts more pressure on his knees.

Except for the first few days when Xiaokang went up to the second floor to look for him because of anxiety, it was always active on the first floor.

"Small!" Xu Yibai immediately jumped off the recliner to greet him, and Xiaokang made out with him for a while, then he opened his mouth and spat out something, which shocked Xu Yibai.

"What's the matter?" Xia Dongli also heard the movement and hurried over with a small desk lamp to look at it. He was stunned when the light shone on—the one that was spit out by Xiaokang was a baby bird, which should have just hatched not long ago. Baba.

This bird looks a bit like a quail, but the chicks look similar when they were young. Xia Dongli's experience in this area is not so rich, and he can't tell the difference.

But no matter what species it was, the little bird was in a state of embarrassment at the moment, its body was completely soaked, its fur to protect against the cold was all attached to its body, and the whole bird was shivering in the wind.Although it's early summer, it's still a bit cold for this kind of small animal that doesn't have the ability to heat itself.

Cubs are almost fatal when they catch a cold.

Xia Dongli hurriedly pulled a tissue to wrap it up and went downstairs, but Xiaokang suddenly stood in front of him and yelled twice.

what's the situation?

Xia Dongli looked down at the young chick, a little puzzled, he turned in a direction to bypass Xiaokang, but was stopped again.

Xia Dongli felt something was wrong.

At first, he thought it was a small animal that Xiaokang picked up from somewhere like rice. It looked like he had stumbled and fell into a pond and was rescued, but Xiaokang's attitude didn't seem to be in a hurry, but he seemed to be asking for credit.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yibai also came over to look at it, and as soon as he came to Xiaokang, he nuzzled his leg and motioned him to look at the chick.Seeing this, Xu Yibai took the little thing that was shaking like chaff, and immediately wrapped his hands around the wet chick: "Xiaokang, it's wet, we have to dry it quickly, otherwise we'll catch a cold."

However, Xiaokang, who is usually very humane, stood in front of him, and he didn't have the slightest intention of giving in. Xu Yibai was blocked by it when he tried to bypass him and go downstairs.

The stairs on the roof itself are not wide, so it occupies so much that two people really can't go down.

Xia Dongli had no choice but to call Xun Ao to come up. While explaining the situation, he handed the bird wrapped in a tissue to Xun Ao across Xiaokang, hoping that he would take it down to dry first.Unexpectedly, at this time Xiaokang turned his head and growled a few times at Xun Yao in a low voice. Xun Yao's movement of catching the bird paused, and his expression immediately showed a bit of weirdness.

"What's the matter?" Xia Dongli was taken aback when he saw his expression change, and then he seemed to think of something suddenly, and just about to stop him, he heard Xun Yao say to Xu Yibai: "It wants you to eat this bird."

"what?"
