Good mountains, good water, good people

One spring rain and one warm. After the spring rain, we are busy with spring plowing.

Spring plowing is a very important thing in Yunxi Village. For hundreds of years, the village has preserved the tradition of farming. Farming is the gene passed down in the blood of the farmers in this village. They don’t go to the fields every day. , Their bones are not comfortable all day.

Every household in the village has several acres of fertile land, and they have supported generations of people on these acres of land.Even now that their children have grown up and can earn money to support them, farmers who have worked hard for half their lives are reluctant to abandon the land and not plant it.For them, spring plowing is something that cannot be missed. The grain grown in the ground is something that can fill their stomachs. Only when they see crops growing in the ground and grain in the rice jar can they be able to eat at night. Sleep well.

This year, the son of the village head's family arranged for someone to plow the land for them and raise the seedlings early. Now the seedlings have grown up and can be planted.

Standing on the road into Yunxi Village and watching, at a glance, you can see figures bending over to plant seedlings in the field.

The primary school in their village will give the students a few days off every year at this time, and let the students go back to help the family cultivate the land.The students and the children who came back from the holiday also followed the adults to work in the fields. The adults and children raised their trousers and helped work in the field with their bare feet. The speed of the children’s rice planting was no slower than that of the adults. .

Elderly people from the age of seven or eight to one hundred in the village, as long as they can work in the fields, are basically in the fields at the moment.

Knowing that everyone has land to plant at home, Gu Changning also gives the employees half a day off every day on the farm, so that the employees can finish their work and go back to help the family plant the land in the afternoon.In the past few days, he went to the town to sell vegetables by himself, and when he returned from selling vegetables, he would go to the field to help his family plant rice seedlings.

However, the shop in the town is open every day. Liu Jinlan and two employees are in charge of the shop there. The business in the shop is not bad. Every morning, there are quite a lot of people buying things. Their baked sweet potato pancakes and tea Egg soy milk is very popular with guests.

Since falling out with her family, Liu Jinlan couldn't stand her mother-in-law's insults and difficulties, so she simply rented a small house in the town and moved out of the house.The three children are still studying in the primary school in the village. The main reason is that this semester has already started half of the class, and it is not easy for her to transfer the children to another school. She will be going to junior high school in September, and her boss will have to help her find a relationship for this matter, otherwise she will not be able to find someone to do things on her own without knowing anyone.

In order to take a few children to school, she bought a second-hand motorcycle in the town, and drove the children to school every morning. At noon, she sent three children to her boss's house for lunch. In the afternoon, she got off work. So I went back to pick up the three children to the town, and ate and lived with her.

The mother-in-law at home had quarreled with her and asked her to keep the three children at home, but after she asked the wicked woman if she really wanted to help her raise the children, her mother-in-law pouted her again.

Liu Jinlan is not surprised by this either. Her husband can't go out to work to make money now. Only her father-in-law farms a few acres of land, and the family used to live on the few acres of land at home.Her mother-in-law is a lazy woman. After she married into that family, her mother-in-law didn't even wash a bowl after eating, not to mention cooking. She wanted to see her move out and live outside. She wants to insult her mother-in-law just how tough she can be.

She is divorced, but her husband is unwilling. She asked a lawyer for help and filed a divorce petition with him. If she failed once, she filed it twice, and if she failed twice, she filed it three times. So far!Anyway, she made up her mind not to go back now, and took her children outside. As for what happened at home, she was enough to take care of herself and her three children now, so she didn't have time to take care of other people's affairs.

The field in Yunxi Village is different every day. A few days ago, it was bare, but now it is full of seedlings, and it looks green at a glance.Of course, the figure still working in the field is indispensable.

"Dad, you don't have any seedlings over there, right? I'll go get some for you."

"Hey, it's gone, you go and drag two over here."

After going out to sell vegetables in the morning and returning, Gu Changning went down to the ground to help plant rice seedlings at home without taking a break. Looking back, he found that the seedlings behind him were gone, and he took another look at his father’s side, and there were no seedlings. He stepped on the mud, Walking is called a brisk walk.He went and dragged two dozen seedlings over, threw a few handfuls over to his father, and distributed a few handfuls for senior brother Qin and a few younger brothers.

It just so happened that Qin You's side wasn't very busy these days. Seeing that everyone in the village was working in the fields, he brought a few juniors to help.

"Brother Gu, you guys are too good, why are you walking in this field like flat ground?" It was the first time for a few junior brothers from the city to work in the field at this age, and they couldn't walk in the field. Oh, it's really like the heels of this ground will stick to their feet. If they step on a hole, they can't pull it out even if they want to.

Look at Senior Brother Xiao Gu again, how could he not surprise them by walking like walking on flat ground!

"After you have been walking in this field for more than ten or twenty years, you will be able to walk in the field." Gu Changning bent over to plant the seedlings quickly and accurately. They are neatly arranged, and the distance between each one seems to be measured with a ruler, almost exactly.

Let's compare the seedlings planted by Senior Brother Qin and the junior juniors. One here and one there, if someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder sees it, he may be guilty of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

And there is indeed a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Qin, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, You can only force himself to look away, and try his best to insert the seedlings on his side, but no matter how hard he tries, the seedlings inserted are not next to him. The young people planted look good and neat.

"Admiration, admiration." Several younger juniors admired Senior Brother Gu very much.

After planting the seedlings for a while, the junior juniors crawled out of the ground one by one, screaming that their backs were sore.Gu Changning pointed to the children who just ran out of the field next door and said with a smile: "You see, you are not as good as a few elementary school children."

"..." Don't they want to lose face?A few junior brothers met the children's eyes and rubbed their noses embarrassedly.

Only Qin You looked at the young man who was smiling as happily as the children, and a smile flashed in his eyes.Meeting the man's smiling eyes, Gu Changning also smiled and asked, "Are you okay, are you tired?"

"It's okay, not too tired." It's just a little backache, and Qin You didn't say the last sentence.

At noon, everyone went back to eat and rested for a while. In the afternoon, they continued to plant rice seedlings. After three days of planting in their family's land, they only finished planting more than ten acres of land.

At this time, it can be seen that those with more families have more people working in the fields, and those with fewer families have fewer people working in the fields.

Knowing that the family will be plowing in the spring at this time, Second Uncle Gu specially called the family back. The voice on the phone was full of apology, saying that the husband and wife were working outside and could not go back, and apologized to their parents and elder brother.The old man in the family knew that it was not easy for his son and grandchildren to work outside the home, so he went to comfort his son in turn, and was concerned about how his son and grandchildren were working outside the home. The family talked on the phone for a long time.

Village Chief Gu and his wife are both open-minded people. They know that their uncle and aunt's family are working outside, and they rarely come back all year round. They are in the village, and they help out with more work at home. After all, they work all year round. At home, the family also eats more rice grains.Because of farming at home, their family has not bought a grain of grain for decades, and they can sell more food. The money they sell is also used by their family to buy vegetables, and my uncle's family comes back twice a year. Even if you take some things, you can't take much with you, so if you care about everything, you really can't care about it.

This year the eldest son is at home, and there are a few more people who help with the work. The rice in their family is planted faster than in previous years, and they don’t have to work so hard. In previous years, there were only four of them, and the whole head peeled off after being busy. How can it be so easy like this year.

"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Without you, our land would not have been planted so quickly. Tonight I will kill two chickens for everyone to make up for it." In order to thank the group of young people who helped them work , Mother Gu grabbed the two remaining big roosters in the house and killed them, and had a sumptuous dinner that night.

Master Gao felt a little embarrassed, they didn't help at all, should they eat the chicken or not?

"Haha, everyone eats, everyone eats, and I have to thank Master Gao and you masters who work so hard to help our village build houses every day." Mama Gu obviously found that her words were wrong, so she hurriedly added this sentence.

Village head Gu helped the big guys to sit down and eat, "Yes, everyone is a hero, you are all heroes, Master Gao, you work hard every day."

Dinner was the same as usual, two large tables were seated.

They came back to Village Chief Gu's house for dinner. Master Gao and the others ate here every day, so they were free. They were all manual laborers, and each of them had a big appetite.For this reason, Mama Gu would put in two extra spoonfuls of rice every day when cooking, just to be afraid that someone would be hungry and eat two extra bowls, so as to ensure that there was enough rice in the pot.

There were a lot of dishes that night, and they were all meat dishes. The big pot of meat and two large plates of chicken made everyone's stomachs full.

Previously, Gu Changning asked his father to ask his father to ask if there was any land in the village that was not planted. If he didn't ask, he would not know. It was really a lot. His father found him more than [-] acres of land in one go.
