Early the next morning, with the sound of the big horns in the village, the horn of autumn harvest was officially sounded.

Harvesting in autumn is a very tiring task, especially in the large rice fields like Xiahe Village. After a whole day, it seems that the body is not my own, and the waist is not straight.

But at the same time, the satisfaction in my heart cannot be replaced by other things.

The autumn harvest means that the food will be returned to the warehouse, which means that there will be rations for the next year, so there is no need to worry about being hungry.It means that there is hope in life and a bright future.

Although it is called autumn harvest, it is midsummer and the sun is scorching.I can't stop sweating even standing in the shade of a tree, let alone working in the sun.

But no one complained, and no one was lazy, even those spoiled educated youths.

Xiahe Village is located in the south. Rice is planted twice a year. The first season is planted in spring and harvested in summer.After the harvest, the second season of rice will be sown non-stop, waiting for the harvest in autumn.

And in the middle, farmers have to harvest sweet potatoes, land, soybeans, cotton, peanuts and other agricultural products.

This also means that from now on, they will have to be busy until the end of autumn, until all the grain is harvested.

But this is still not the end, they still need to plant vegetables that can grow in winter in the next season, radishes, cabbage, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, and so on.

It's just that the area of ​​the vegetable field is much smaller than the grain, and the labor intensity is not so great, and the men in the family can do it.

But women have to be busy with other things, go up the mountain to collect firewood, and prepare for the fire in winter.

Prepare winter clothes, you can’t buy new ones, you have to turn out the old cotton clothes, take out the cotton inside to dry, then add a little new cotton, and re-sew.

Prepare vegetables for winter storage, change to sun-dried, and change to processed.

In short, no day is idle.

Therefore, for a long time in the future, everyone will be very tired, and the food will have to increase accordingly, otherwise the exhaustion will not be worth the loss.

I usually eat two meals a day, but now I have changed it to three meals a day. Occasionally, I can see meat in the dishes. If it is really difficult, I will keep the eggs at home for everyone to supplement.

The fish caught before also played a big role and became the most important supplement on the table.

Because of the presence of these fish, they have a very good sense of Ansi.When the farming season was busy, I didn't forget to stop to say hello when I saw Anxi.

Anxi had nothing to do, so he just sat in the shade of the trees and watched them work, saw pieces of rice fell to the ground, and watched the enthusiastic figures of the people, and suddenly had an idea.

He went back and brought a simple table and a small bench, then took out the white paper he bought, carefully cut it into the size of a newspaper with a knife, and then drew squares of equal size with a ruler.

After that, Anxi drew lifelike labor scenes on the grid.

There are young people bending over to harvest rice, middle-aged men pushing carts to transport grain, women standing upright and resting with their waists supported, old people and children.

Their faces were flushed from the sun, their clothes were already soaked with sweat, and they looked very embarrassed.

But everyone is doing their own work seriously. Even though they are very tired and hard, the smiles on their faces are exactly the same, which is the joy of harvest, satisfaction, and hope.

Anxi captured their expressions and drew them on the drawings, which were real and vivid.

His painting skills are not to say that they are pure and innocent, but the appeal that comes to the face makes people smile and be moved when they look at them.

Anyway, Sun Xiuxiu was very moved.

She hurt her leg yesterday, and she was supposed to ask for leave today and not go to work, but when she heard that An Cheng was helping her with work, and the centimeters were recorded in her name, she couldn't help but come over to have a look, and send some to An Cheng by the way. water.

Unexpectedly, I saw Anxi painting here.

Sun Xiuxiu couldn't help but stop to see what he was painting.

She always thought that Anxi was a mysterious person, because of the intersection on the train that night, she was a little afraid to associate with him, and couldn't help but wonder if Anxi had seen through her secret.

But after several times of probing, Anxi was flawless, making it impossible for her to find out.

After two days of apprehension, Sun Xiuxiu let it go, saying that she was big-hearted or stupid, but she just felt that Anxi had a different kind of intimacy that made people unable to guard against her.

Seeing Anxi now, Sun Xiuxiu didn't think too much, just stood behind him and looked up, looking at her with a look of shock in her eyes.

This drawing is also great!

It's just a few monotonous paintings, but when put together, it makes people feel very attractive. I can't wait to get in and work with everyone. It's so inspiring!

Sun Xiuxiu couldn't take her eyes off her eyes. Others saw her abnormality, and they gathered around to watch. When they finished appreciating Anxi's painting, they couldn't help but praise her.

Although they are all rough and can't appreciate any art, Anxi's paintings are so similar that they can still understand them. It's like taking pictures, no, it makes people feel more real than taking pictures.

I heard before that Anxi can make money by writing manuscripts, but they don't care about it, just write a few words, how much money can they earn?The world of literati is too far away for them to imagine.

What I could see were the educated youths from the village, but after looking around, I didn't find any difference between the educated youths and them.It's just that he came from the city and studied for a few more years, and he's not like these dog legs, he has to work in the fields.

And Anxi can make a lot of money by writing articles, which is like a fantasy to them.Most people didn't believe it, and thought that the An family was talking big, so as to give their new nephew a face.

But now, Anxi showed them his extraordinary painting skills. Even if they didn't see Anxi's so-called manuscripts, just based on these paintings, they could make people feel that he was very powerful.

The "fish-leading incident" had covered Anxi with a layer of mystery before, and now he makes people feel that he is a master without showing his face.

The way they looked at Anxi has gradually changed from eager and friendly to awe.

Before, I was thinking of getting close to see if I could get Anxi Yinyu's medicine, but now I dare not speak.

Don't look at the outside clamoring to destroy the four olds, to break up the feudal remnants, and to transform intellectuals.But in the eyes of these farmers, scholars are still worthy of awe, especially those who are very powerful at first sight.

An Jia's new nephew is really different from these mud-legged ones, not even those educated youths.

Then his things are naturally profound secret recipes, how can they be given to outsiders casually.

Before Anxi was willing to take it out, it was because he was kind and willing to take care of the folks, but it would be too much if he made an inch of it.

The villagers dismissed their small thoughts one after another, and even persuaded others not to be greedy for cheap and offend this powerful man.

Anxi just wanted to draw a few pictures and send them to the newspaper along with the manuscript to see if they could be used, but he didn't expect to achieve the current effect, and he was really dumbfounded for a while.

Even Secretary An and Uncle An no longer looked at him suspiciously.

Secretary An patted Anxi on the shoulder, "Shu boy is promising, he is a man of culture, if your parents know about it, how happy you are to change it. Remember to keep a copy of the newspaper, and burn it for your parents to read and let them read it." Also happy."

Anxi nodded, as a promise.

He plans to write a few articles about the autumn harvest and farmers in the near future. With these pictures, there must be a different effect.

For a period of time thereafter, Anxi was busy writing articles and submitting articles, almost all the newspapers he saw were submitted once.

After research, Anxi found out some characteristics of the newspaper. If he was serious, he only contributed articles, and the articles were written by Gao Weizheng.

As for newspapers willing to accept new things, Anxi not only sent sketches along with him, but his style of writing was also relaxed and lively.Some even have some small stories attached to see if they are willing to try to publish.

In addition to writing, Anxi also occasionally watched the good dramas of the hero and heroine.

The two of them are now more and more gluey, and they have always been sticky in the process of falling in love, without any conflicts.

The eldest aunt has already invited a matchmaker to come to the door, and plans to hold a wedding for them after the work is over.

Sun Xiuxiu was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing An Cheng's face, she agreed dazedly, and she was dazzled by the handsome guy.

Their wedding was scheduled for the end of the year, and then An Cheng would take another leave of absence and come back, and bring Sun Xiuxiu with the army directly after marriage.

Things are going well for the protagonist, and the hapless supporting male duo seems to be out of the control of the plot.

Perhaps because of Anxi's promise, they knew that they could move out soon, and they had less scruples in their actions, and they no longer blindly tolerated the oppression of the old educated youth.

Zhang Hewei is a person with a quick mind, he looks gentle on the outside, but in fact he has been a white and black man since he was a child.

He and Liu Hongming belonged to the same compound, but they didn't have much contact with each other, because although Zhang Hewei was good-looking and tall, he was a bit silly at heart.

Zhang Hewei in the past looked down upon this mindless disaster.

But the last time he had an accident, Liu Hongming rescued him without hesitation, even though he was about to be bitten by a snake, he still kept holding on to him.

From then on, he swore that Liu Hongming was his brother for life, and he would take good care of him and not let anyone bully him.

So after the old educated youth acted as a monster again, Zhang Hewei broke out directly, and taught the old educated youth a hard lesson.

He directly designed an old educated youth to accidentally burn the kitchen down.If they are not allowed to use it, then everyone should not use it.

Now is the busy season of farming, and no one has time to help them build another kitchen. They can only build an earthen stove in the yard and deal with it hastily.

In this way, it will be a problem for the old educated youths to eat, so there is still time to bully the new educated youths.

Since then, they have finally been quiet.

By the time the rice is harvested, the hottest time has passed.Anxi's letters also came, a total of three letters, which were sent out in the city.

They have been sent out one after another before, but there is no news yet, so I guess we will have to wait.

Anxi opened them one by one, and found that they were all news that the manuscript had been accepted. Along with the letter came three newspapers that published Anxi's articles, and some banknotes.

Anxi counted, there were five yuan more, three yuan less, three articles, a total of 12 yuan.

This is just a test of the water that Anxi wrote casually at the beginning. Anxi can write two or three articles like this in a day.

So when Anxi boasted that he could earn at least [-] per month, it was completely achievable.

Anxi directly showed these to Secretary An and Uncle An. They looked at the newspaper and the money in Anxi's hands, and they couldn't help sighing that they could really earn so much money.

Moreover, it's not just about making money, it's also about glory!

The ancestors of their An family really burned high incense to have such outstanding descendants, and they must burn incense to their ancestors when they are done with work.

Secretary An picked up one of the newspapers and found Anxi's article "My Beautiful Motherland". He first browsed it by himself, and then read it aloud at the request of everyone.

This article is about the scenery along the way to X City. With the train running, the scenery along the way changes to reflect the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. At the end, it ends with the sunrise at dawn, which means good hope and achieves the goal of improving the purpose of the article. Purpose.

When Anxi wrote it, he thought it was nothing. It was completely based on the pattern of articles in newspapers, and it was a routine, but now it sounds so shameful.
