Speaking of busy farming in the golden autumn, the busiest part is the harvesting of wheat, barley, and drying of wheat.

During the busy harvesting of wheat, the peasants had to rush for more than ten days. When the weather was good and the sun was shining, it would be a gift from God. If it was rainy at this time...it would be hard to say up.

By the way this year, since the harvesting of the wheat, it has been sunny, and the sun is so poisonous that it can make people oily.The wheat is taken back to dry for a while, the grains are threshed, and it can be harvested after being exposed to the sun for two or three days.

Taking advantage of the good weather, the empty dams in the yards of almost every household are covered with golden and chubby wheat grains, and the fences of the originally empty yards are also neatly tied up one after the other. The "herringbone"-shaped bundles of wheat straw are hung on the fence to dry.

After waiting for these wheat straws to dry, there are many uses.

In the past, most of these dried wheat stalks were prepared to be used as winter fodder for livestock, as firewood, or as roofing.Although it is useless now, it has become a habit, and it is not likely that any household will just lose it like this.

Not to mention how long it is, just look at the bamboo building built by Xiaosaner of Yan's family at the foot of Wuxu Mountain. Isn't the roof covered with several layers of wheat straw?And anyone who has been to the bamboo house knows that the house is warm in winter and cool in summer, beautiful and affordable. The people in Yanjiawan and the surrounding areas have already made a small plan, and they are absolutely reluctant to throw away the wheat straw at home.

The farmyard at this time is completely different from the past, with a kind of post-harvest golden color, which is also painted on the joyful faces of every farmer.

This is the golden autumn of the farm.

Because Yan Che's family contracted Wuxu Mountain at the end of last year, thinking about taking care of Wuxu Mountain has already taken up more than half of the farm work. Therefore, after repeated discussions between the father and son, the wheat fields planted by their family this year , is the least in the surrounding area.

Yan Guosheng and his wife didn't think so, they didn't lose any work in the field, and even picked up two acres of Yan Che's land and planted wheat. In this way, compared with previous years, the old couple is even more busy this year. .

Not to mention, Yan Guoqiang also took the vines to help harvest the wheat. It took him a whole week of hard work to harvest all the wheat.

Immediately afterwards, wheat was threshed and dried, and Fujiko was in the process, and his whole body was blackened into coke.

Yan Che jokingly said: If you put a crescent moon on Fujiko's forehead, you will play Bao Zheng, and you don't need makeup at all.Well, it's better not to go out, so as not to be mistaken for foreign friends from Africa.

For this reason, Fujiko was annoyed all night.

After all, these are actually caused by Zhang Chaoying's narrow-mindedness at the beginning.

Earlier, when Yan Che had just put Wuxu Mountain in order and said that he would hand over the pond to her and his wife, Zhang Chaoying thought about it, and still felt that after all, there was a layer of blood separation, and no matter how close they were, they would not be able to go anywhere. He helped Yan Che manage the pond, but he couldn't just put his own land aside wholeheartedly, right?

Therefore, when Yan Guosheng signaled that he should spend less time on the land this year, so that he could concentrate on helping Yan Che take care of the Wuxu Mountain, Zhang Chaoying ignored him and bit the bullet, even fighting for the land that Yan Che's family did not plant. Come here, plant a piece.

I never thought that they didn't take good care of the pond, not only did the fish turn white, but Yan Che gave them so much money from the sale of the "dead fish"... Zhang Chaoying felt ashamed.

It was also after that pond accident, Yan Che's beautiful handling methods, Zhang Chaoying was moved, but also wanted to understand some truths: you, an old mud (old farmer), what is worth others' plotting?Since other people's children treat you heartily, why are you still being hypocritical here?Isn't it just planting less land and helping more?A muddy leg who has been digging mud all his life, no money, no power, no strength?It's also fortunate that the child treats you so sincerely, don't you feel ashamed of your old face?

Although his mentality has been corrected now, he didn't expect the harvest to be so good today, with six acres of land, he harvested nearly four thousand catties of wheat.

A bumper harvest should have been something to be happy about.

But looking at the old men who have been blacked out for several layers, Zhang Chaoying felt so ashamed that there was nowhere to put his old face - if it wasn't for his narrow-mindedness at the beginning, would he have to waste such a family to this extent?

Ever since, Zhang Chaoying snatched up the housework that should be done by the "weak scholar" Yan Che; Delivering water should be the work of the three juniors on summer vacation. Zhang Chaoying also stretched out his hand, and he disappeared.

At first, everyone didn't think so.

It wasn't until Zhang Chaoying passed out on the wheat drying field due to heat stroke that Yan Che realized: Auntie, you are overthinking.This is changing Fang'er's "redemption", alas!

After Yan Guoqiang realized it, he immediately blackened his face in front of the old couple: "His uncle and his aunt, what are you doing this for?"

Hearing Yan Guoqiang's angry questioning, Yan Guosheng knew that he was ashamed, so he simply turned his face away and threw the quarrel to Zhang Chaoying, who asked Zhang Chaoying to explain himself.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoying was already weak, and when she heard that the fourth brother was really angry, she was anxious and couldn't understand whether the juniors were in front of her, and she burst into tears: "Fourth brother, it's my fault." , I'm narrow-minded. San'er treats me like my own mother, and I'm still so narrow-minded, I...I...I...Wow—"

Hearing Zhang Chaoying's howl, Yan Guoqiang was taken aback, a little bewildered, and froze in place, at a loss.

Yan Che pursed his lips and thought about it, and roughly followed the path, a little helpless, but also a little distressed for this aunt who cherishes her father and son and has been helping to take care of her father and son, and gave Fujiko a color, let Fujiko They all took their old father and Yan Guosheng out, and coaxed the three startled little guys out by the way.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yan Che took the boiled mung bean porridge and sat beside Zhang Chaoying's bed: "Auntie, don't do this, you make me feel ashamed."

heard.

Zhang Chaoying raised her eyes to look at Yan Che with tears in her face, looked at the child's worried eyes, and felt even more guilty in her heart, and felt that she was narrow-minded and ashamed to see others... There was another "wow", crying even more Worried.

Now Yan Che has no choice but to persuade him with mung bean porridge or leave. He opened his mouth several times, as if he was performing a pantomime. Sitting next to Zhang Chaoying stupidly like a pile, unable to move.

It was not easy for Zhang Chaoying's crying to subside, Yan Che breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it, he also thought clearly.

However, Zhang Chaoying stopped crying, but grabbed Yan Che's hand, and the old tears remained: "San'er, look at how narrow-minded your aunt is, look..." As he spoke, he choked up again, and tears flowed more fierce.

Yan Che quickly put the soft mung bean porridge aside, grabbed the towel on the side and handed it over, feeling a little sour in his heart: Zhang Chaoying really treated him like a son, and he really cared about him from the bottom of his heart.

When Wan Qishuyu had just left before, Yan Guoqiang seemed to be insane at that time, how could he care about Yan Che?Although Yan Jiang and Yan He are a little clearer, they have to run in and out for Wan Qi Shu Yu's funeral... In this way, Yan Che, a child, will be left unattended, hungry and tired, sad and miss his mother, No one knows either.

The only one who cared about Yan Che was Zhang Chaoying. She sent Yan Jiamei over to talk with Yan Che all the time, take care of Yan Che, and comfort Yan Che.

The relationship between the two families has become somewhat estranged in recent years, probably because of that aggressive sister-in-law.Zhang Chaoying is not the kind of troublemaker mother-in-law and aunt, and it is estimated that it is to avoid a gap between the two families, so they have to reduce the frequent walking between the two families before.

But now that Yan Che's meeting came, and Zhao Cuihua moved to the town, Zhang Chaoying's closeness to Yan Che's family was rekindled.

Thoughts drifted a few times, Yan Che also had an idea.

Letting Zhang Chaoying hold his hand, Yan Che rolled his eyeballs, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Auntie, where are those straws?"

"Eh?" Zhang Chaoying paused, and stopped crying in repentance. She raised her weeping face and looked at Yan Che, not knowing what Yan Che was going to do: "Ah, let it hang."

Seeing that Zhang Chaoying's attention was attracted, Yan Che said again: "That's great, aunt. This year, we don't grow much wheat at home, and there are pitifully few straws. I'm wondering if I should go to Wanli to buy some. .”

Hearing Yan Che said that he was going to buy wheat straw, Zhang Chaoying suddenly felt angry in his heart, "You prodigal son of a bitch", frowned, and his eyes that were not dry from tears began to spit fire: "If you sell some peaches, you will start to waste money." Money? Wheat straw is piled up everywhere, how much money do you have? Still want to buy it?”

Seeing Zhang Chaoying's appearance, Yan Che held back a smile, showed distress, and imitated his frown: "Auntie, you don't know, our bamboo house is finished, and everyone in the bay Knowing that this bamboo house is good, I thought about getting a resident for myself. I asked about it during the day... You didn’t see that the people in the bay treasure the straw.”

Zhang Chaoying was taken aback for a moment, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case, and her brows furrowed further: "Oh, Yaoshou, now even our straws are rare things?"

"Hey." Yan Che sighed, and said, "No. In the morning, I heard that someone from Liujiatan came to buy wheat straw from our people in the Bay. It was said that it would cost hundreds of tons."

"Ah?" Zhang Chaoying sat up in shock when she heard it: "What? So expensive?"

Yan Che nodded "distressed": "I'm still planning to add a layer of straw to the roof, but now it seems... alas."

Zhang Chaoying was really in a hurry, took a few breaths, and then let out a breath, panting a bit: "Oh, oh, what is this? Everything in the countryside is money! These people who are paid thousands of dollars are not afraid of getting out of the money, oh, what to do, what to do!"

Yan Che, who was so full of stomach cramps, realized that Zhang Chaoying was in a hurry when he saw Zhang Chaoying was in such a hurry, so he quickly gave Zhang Chaoying a sigh of relief: "Auntie, auntie, don't worry, don't worry, I..." The words came to his lips, After all, Yan Che turned a corner and didn't say anything.

When Zhang Chaoying complied with this tone, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Oh, look at my brain, it's really old and useless. Where else can I buy it? Our family is not so rich? You bastard, you have it at home. You still have to go out and spend money..." While speaking, Zhang Chaoying raised her head, just in time to see Yan Che's smiling eyes, she was taken aback, and realized: San'er is comforting herself.

Zhang Chaoying drank the mung bean porridge that Yan Che fed over, and the more he looked at it, the warmer he felt: San'er, what a lovely baby.If I have a son too, I don't know...

"Auntie, there is really no one who is as worried about harvesting too much wheat as you are." Yan Che didn't notice Zhang Chaoying's sudden depression, so he didn't know what Zhang Chaoying was thinking at the moment.

"Ah, then tell me, everyone's harvest is ready, can this wheat not be cheap?" Zhang Chaoying put away those sorrows, and accepted Yan Che's words.

"That depends on how it's sold." Yan Che scooped up another spoonful of porridge and fed it to Zhang Chaoying.

Zhang Chaoying felt a little embarrassed, grabbed the spoon and bowl: "Well, I'll do it myself."

Yan Che didn't mind either, and handed it over with a smile.

Zhang Chaoying scooped up a spoonful of porridge by himself, and knowing Yan Che's question just now, he knew that Yan Che had another idea, so he hurriedly said: "San'er, you are empty-headed and pay too much attention. Tell me, how can you not make wheat cheap?" Sell ​​it?"

Yan Che thought for a while, and said: "Let's pay the public grain first, and don't use money to pay for it this year. Collect the rest."

"But we have too much wheat this year, so how much grain stockpiles do we need? Besides, isn't hoarding cheap rats? No, no, no, spoiling grain is a sin, and God will punish you." Zhang Chaoying shook his head.

"Oh, auntie, just listen to me." Yan Che was amused, annoyed and helpless.

"Well, let's talk." Zhang Chaoying continued to drink porridge, as if saying: I won't interrupt, you talk and I will listen.

"Auntie, look, there are more and more tourists in our Yanjia Bay. After the shed area is built, are there a lot of small businessmen from other places?" Yan Che asked.

Zhang Chaoying thought for a while and nodded.

"Are there several restaurants that make snacks?" Seeing Zhang Chaoying nodding again, Yan Che said: "We can make some flour. I think some of these snack shops are just pasta. He We can’t buy everything from outside, can we? Besides, they have seen with their own eyes how our wheat is, so they might come to Wanli to buy flour from us in the future.”

Zhang Chaoying's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he motioned Yan Che to continue with a spoon in his mouth.

Yan Che didn't mind that Zhang Chaoying looked like a child at the moment, so he suppressed a smile and continued: "And wheat bran (bran) is also useful. Aren't there fish in our pond? Aren't there chickens in the old yard? Wheat bran But good food!"

Zhang Chaoying clapped her hands when she heard the words, and overturned the bowl on the bed excitedly. Fortunately, there was not much porridge left in the bowl, otherwise she would be busy: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? We still have fish to feed , there are chickens to eat."

Seeing that Zhang Chaoying had figured it out, and his whole body regained its former vitality, Yan Che was completely relieved now.

He didn't want to take advantage of his uncle and aunt...for now, he will stabilize Zhang Chaoying's mood in this way for the time being, and when the fish in the pond and the chickens in the old yard can be weighed, he will dig out the wheat money from the selling money and give them to them.

At that time, even if they want to shirk, it will be too late.

After comforting Zhang Chaoying, Yan Che had just walked out the door when he saw Yan Jialing coming back sullenly.

"What's wrong?" Yan Che asked after rubbing Yan Jialing's barbed hair.

Yan Jialing didn't act coquettishly when he saw Yan Che like before. Instead, he called "Uncle" wearily, then entered the room, sat on the bamboo chair in the main room, and shook it stupidly. shake.

Yan Che raised his eyebrows, and thought: Well, the little devil is actually playing with melancholy?

Just as he was about to step forward to play with the little guy, Yan Che noticed that someone held his hand.

Looking back, the person holding him was actually Fujiko.Before Yan Che could open his beak to Fujiko, Fujiko put one finger on Yan Che's mouth.

Yan Che frowned, and Fujiko made gestures, basically asking Yan Che to go out.

As soon as the two went out, Fujiko pulled Yan Che under the grape arbor.

"What the hell are you doing?" Slapping Fujikoto's hand away, Yan Che's face stretched out.

Fujiko put her hands behind her back, the touch of Yan Che's lips still remained on her fingers, and her mind was a little turbulent... However, seeing Yan Che's expression, she could only press down her little thoughts and said in a low voice: "You, sister-in-law coming."

"Ah?" Yan Che was taken aback.

"It seems to disagree with Yan Jialing and Coach Yu's swimming." Fujiko glanced in the direction of the room, lowered her voice, and her lips almost touched Yan Che's ear.

Yan Che felt a breath of hot air hit his sensitive ears, his whole body trembled, and he dodged to avoid Fujiko, and his brows were slightly wrinkled again: "Where are you?"

Fujiko, who felt a little regretful, sighed from the bottom of her heart, and raised her chin: "I'm talking to your dad over there at the pond."

Yan Che looked in the direction of the pond. He couldn't see anything clearly through the dense grape leaves, but he also knew that the atmosphere there must not be good, so he frowned even deeper: "Where's my elder brother?"

"Ah, I didn't come." Fujiko was a little distracted, his mind was full of Yan Che, and he answered absently.

Had dinner.

It was rare that Zhao Cuihua stayed.

Not only stayed for dinner, but also called Yan Che after dinner.

Yan Che probably guessed Zhao Cuihua's intention in calling him, put the bowl and chopsticks into Fujiko's hands, nodded, and followed out.

Following Zhao Cuihua around Wuxu Mountain, Zhao Cuihua didn't make a sound.

This time, I went around to the prickly pear tree behind Wuxu Mountain. Zhao Cuihua was so thoughtful all the way, so she didn't feel tired. Yan Che was different. Although a walk after a full meal was good for digestion, he couldn't bear it. Keep walking so silently? !

Therefore, Yan Che spoke first: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Ah?...Ah." Zhao Cuihua was taken aback when she heard the words, and suddenly remembered that she had pulled her uncle out, and had run with her uncle for such a long time, and she felt a sense of wonder in her heart: "Uncle, you know Guang, if I don't tell you, you might have guessed what my sister-in-law is going to tell you, right?"

Yan Che looked at Zhao Cuihua, without affirming or denying it.

Zhao Cuihua didn't mind seeing Yan Che like this, she just found a piece of dry land by the green brick road, sat down, and chatted with Yan Che seriously.

As expected, it was about Yan Jialing.

However, to Yan Che's surprise, it wasn't that Zhao Cuihua didn't agree with Yan Jialing going to learn swimming with Yu Zongyi, on the contrary, Zhao Cuihua felt that Yu Zongyi "knowledges" and saw her son's ability.

However, while she was happy, Zhao Cuihua thought of something, which led to the situation that Fujiko had come to tell Yan Che earlier.

"Uncle, in fact, I'm not a brainless person. I also know that Jialing will follow, and the future will be guaranteed. Not to mention whether Jialing can really achieve results, or go out to compete on behalf of the country, it's just that Jialing Ling went to train for a while, and even if he doesn’t get into a good school in the future, it’s still a specialty, isn’t it? This will make it easier to find a job in Jialing, right?” Zhao Cuihua said a long list, and she was a little emotional afterward.

Yan Che didn't say anything, facing Zhao Cuihua, he found a piece of dry grass on the other side of the green brick road and sat down.

"But... Uncle, I have never suffered for this child in Jialing since he was a child. I am really worried about him following him like this." Zhao Cuihua began to wipe away tears when she said this.

Seeing Zhao Cuihua like this, Yan Che sighed in his heart, and thought: This is the mother.

"I know it's just a woman's opinion." Zhao Cuihua, who was smoking, wiped away tears and continued, "But the family tomb is still so small, I'm really worried."

"Actually, sister-in-law, there's nothing to worry about." Looking at Zhao Cuihua like this, Yan Che couldn't be more indifferent: "You think, Jialing will grow up sooner or later, so I can't let you protect it for the rest of my life, right? Go with Coach Yu like this It’s not bad to go, to exercise his body and his independent ability.”

Hearing what Yan Che said, Zhao Cuihua was a little dazed, thinking: This is your own nephew!

Seeming to see what Zhao Cuihua was thinking, Yan Che also spoke bluntly, saying, "Sister-in-law, it's not like before. It's not like you can find a job outside with a diploma. You know that, right?"

Zhao Cuihua nodded, of course she knew this, it was being played on TV.

"It's impossible for you to let Jialing stay in the small place of Lingqu for the rest of your life, right?" Yan Che saw that Zhao Cuihua began to listen carefully, and he knew more in his heart-this sister-in-law is not an ignorant person: "This Ci Jialing went with Coach Yu, and it happened to be an opportunity to let him go out to see and see. Now this child has not yet been determined. He is said to be young, and he is not young. Jialing is more sensible than ordinary children. However, this child is also playful. If you go out this time, maybe this child will know what goal he should have and what goal he should work towards..."

Looking up, Zhao Cuihua seemed to have circles in her eyes, and Yan Che's heart twitched: Sister-in-law... I don't understand.

"Uh, let's put it this way, apart from playing and completing the teacher's homework, this kid basically doesn't know what to do now, let alone what to do in the future... Cough, it's Jialing who goes out with Coach Yu to have a look, so he can learn more " Yan Che carefully chose his words many times, seeing that Zhao Cuihua was still confused, his facial nerves began to twitch: "Besides, since Coach Yu took Jialing out, it is impossible for him not to take care of Jialing."

After Yan Che finished speaking, he stopped talking, looked at Zhao Cuihua still in a daze, and thought: I don't know if my sister-in-law understood, alas!

Just when Yan Che thought so, Zhao Cuihua's blank eyes became clear, and she lowered her head and grabbed the grass on the ground: "Uncle, I probably understand what you said. But I..."

"Sister-in-law, although Jialing is small, he is not stupid, ah no, it should be said that this child is very smart. Although he may not necessarily bully others, he is definitely not the master who will be bullied." Pressing Yan Che Regarding Yan Jialing's understanding, Yan Che said this with a guilty conscience.

With Yan Jialing's temper, bullying him?Even if he was in a strange place, Yan Che didn't dare to guarantee that Yan Jialing would not bully his boss... Fortunately, this child is not bad in nature.

Here, Zhao Cuihua is worried that Yan Jialing will go out to suffer and be bullied, while Yan Che is thinking about all kinds of Yan Jialing, and he feels dizzy after thinking about it: Do you want to remind Yu Zongyi to guard against this little devil? Without the adults to take care of him, he really became a wild horse, daring to cause a lot of troubles? !

Alas, the child's brain is too smart, and his energy is too strong... It really is a headache!
