Wear to the 90s to farm and fall in love

After meeting Wei Yu at the crossroads, Ding Yunfei rode an ox cart up a long steep slope and arrived at the entrance of the village.

There is an old banyan tree at the entrance of the village. It is very tall and strong, with dense leaves covering the sky and the sun. There are many aerial roots hanging from the branches, like the beard of a centenarian. It seems that the tree should be hundreds of years old.

Ding Yunfei really wanted to come down to have a look at this old banyan tree and touch its vigorous trunk, but because he had to rush out to work, Ding Yunfei held back and decided to come out next time to have a good look at this old banyan tree. banyan tree.

After leaving the village entrance and going downhill, the cattle began to run along a winding dirt road, faster than horses.The road was not smooth, and the bullock cart was swaying and bumpy. Ding Yunfei was shaken and almost fell to the ground. He quickly grabbed the side of the cart and squeezed into the carriage, but he was still dizzy from the shaking.

The cow ran too fast, and the road was too bumpy!

Ding Yunfei sat in the bullock cart with trepidation, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road. There are large tracts of crops planted on both sides of the road, including corn, peanuts, cassava, sugar cane, etc., and there are rolling mountains not far away. Very sparsely populated and very quiet.

After a bumpy journey, half an hour later, their ox cart finally arrived at the destination, a cornfield at the foot of a mountain.Ding Zhong and Ding Xiaoying have already been working in the field, they have broken a lot of corn.

After parking the ox cart, Ding Yunfei followed Chen Sufen out of the cart, walked into the cornfield and started working.

Ding Yunfei didn't know how to break corn because he had never done farm work. He stood beside Chen Sufen and observed how Chen Sufen operated. , and then swipe hard, the bracts are divided into two, and then the bracts are broken apart by hand, a yellow-orange corn cob is exposed, and then the corn cob is gently broken, and the corn cob comes out When the corn stalks fall off, one corn cob is broken off. After the corn is broken, the corn stalks that have been harvested are stepped on the ground with their feet, and then the second corn is harvested.

After the observation, Ding Yunfei also started to try the method Chen Sufen just said, but he really complied with that sentence, it looks simple, but it is not so easy to operate in practice.It took Ding Yunfei a long time to break open a corn successfully. Fortunately, the original owner seldom does farm work, and the original owner's family did not suspect him when they saw his movements so unfamiliar.

In fact, they were already very relieved that Ding Yunfei could come out together to collect corn. As for whether he was skilled or not, it didn't matter whether he was fast or not.

After successfully breaking off a few corns, Ding Yunfei quickly figured out a way, and the breaking speed became faster and faster. After a while, half a basket of corn cobs was broken, and he was sweating profusely and panting.

He raised his arm and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his clothes, and turned to look at the original owner's family, and saw that each of them was sweating, but they didn't stop to rest, and they were still working intently.Even Ding Xiaoying, the youngest, did not stop to rest for a minute, and kept breaking the corn skillfully. There was a big sack on the ground beside her, which was full of corn cobs, and it was all broken by Ding Xiaoying. .

Seeing everyone working so hard, although Ding Yunfei was already sweating profusely, he didn't have the nerve to stop and rest, and continued to break the corn.The growth of their corn is average, the corn cobs are not very large, and some corn cobs have fewer corn kernels. It should be due to insufficient fertilization during the growth period, or it may be a variety problem, or it may be that the weather is dry and the water is insufficient. Short, for many reasons.

Because Ding Yunfei majored in agronomy when he was in college, and he studied the methods of planting crops. Now that he saw such a large cornfield in front of him, he began to study and observe with great interest.

He looked down at the soil on the ground and stepped on it with his feet. The soil was relatively hard. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it carefully. The soil quality was not very good. The land looked barren and not suitable for growing corn. , He looked around the corn field of their house again. Some of the surrounding fields were planted with corn, some with sugarcane, some with hemp/hibiscus, and some with sorghum.

Ding Yunfei was thinking about what kind of crops to plant in this field next year. It is best to plant some economic crops suitable for the soil conditions in order to have a good harvest. Later, he will discuss it with the original owner's father.

Ding Yunfei withdrew his thoughts and continued to work. During the few minutes of his rest, the original owner's family had already harvested a lot of corn. The corn stalks that had been harvested were trampled on the ground. On the ground lay rows of corn stalks.And the two rows of corn he was responsible for harvesting were still standing in the field in a daze.

Ding Yunfei hastened the movement of his hands, breaking the corn quickly.At this time, the sun had climbed up very high, and the sun was very hot. Ding Yunfei didn't wear a straw hat or a headscarf, and his face was red from the sun.

Chen Sufen, who was working in front, turned her head and saw that her son was not wearing a hat, and his face was flushed from the sun. Chen Sufen asked him, "Where is your hat?"

"...At home, I didn't take it." Ding Yunfei replied in a low voice.

Without further ado, Chen Sufen untied the hat she was wearing and threw it to Ding Yunfei, ordering: "Put it on."

Ding Yunfei was about to say "Thank you, no need", before he could speak, a big round straw hat flew towards him, Ding Yunfei reached out to catch the hat, hesitated for a moment, and put the hat on his head , Then get to work seriously.

The corn field in their house is quite large, at least seven or eight percent of the land. They didn't finish harvesting the corn until noon. After harvesting the corn, Ding Yunfei and the original owner's family carried bags of corn to the On the bullock cart, I carried it several times.

Although Ding Yunfei is also a young and strong boy, he has never done such heavy farm work. Today is really exhausting, his back hurts, his shoulders hurt, and his hands have been worn out with big blisters .Today he really realized the hard work of farmers.

After moving the corn, Ding Yunfei was too tired to straighten his waist, so he sat down on the cornfield to rest. He was tired and hungry now, and he was wondering if there was anything to eat to replenish his strength. When he was thinking, he only listened to Chen Sufen Standing beside the ox cart while tidying up the ox cart, he shouted: "Xiaoying, Yun Fei, you should have your porridge first, and then go home after work."

Ding Yunfei was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that they brought porridge with them when they went to work.Ding Yunfei stood up and was about to look for porridge when he saw Ding Xiaoying walking towards him with two white plastic pots. When he came to him, he handed him the plastic pot in his hand and said shyly: "Brother, your porridge."

Ding Yunfei looked at the plastic pot that Ding Xiaoying handed over, which was full of polenta, and Ding Yunfei reached out to take it: "Thank you."

Ding Xiaoying smiled and didn't say a word. She took another pot of porridge and sat on the corn stalks on the ground, then opened the lid of the pot and started to drink the porridge.

Ding Yunfei also sat back on the ground carrying the porridge pot, unscrewed the lid of the pot, hugged the pot, and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge with his mouth facing the mouth of the pot.

After drinking the corn porridge, he regained his strength in an instant.Ding Yunfei drank a few more mouthfuls of porridge, then screwed on the lid of the bucket and stopped drinking. The original owner's parents hadn't had porridge yet, so he had to save some for them.

After Ding Zhong and Chen Sufen finished their work, they also sat down to rest, drinking porridge while resting.

After eating the porridge and resting for a while, they began to pack their things and prepare to go home.

"Yunfei, take your sister home on a motorcycle. Your mother and I will drive the ox cart back." Ding Zhong said, handing the car keys in his hand to Ding Yunfei.

Ding Yunfei looked at their ox cart, which was full of corn and a lot of things, and their cattle ran faster. Ding Zhong was probably worried that Chen Sufen would not be able to drive the ox cart alone. Safety.

"Okay." Ding Yunfei took the car keys from Ding Zhong and walked towards the motorcycle parked on the side of the road.

It's a good thing he can ride a motorcycle too, or else he'll reveal himself again.

Ding Yun flew to the side of the motorcycle, took a look at the car, took the key and opened the lock, then stepped on the seat with long legs, stepped on the starter lever a few times to start the car, and after starting the car, he turned to face the person standing beside him. Ding Xiaoying said: "Come on."

"En." Ding Xiaoying stepped on the pedals and got into the car, and sat on the back seat. She grabbed the armrest of the back seat with both hands, turned her head and said to Ding Zhong and Chen Sufen, "Mom and Dad, let's go back first."

"Okay," Ding Zhong said, looking at his son, and told him, "Ride slowly, don't ride so fast."

"En." Ding Yunfei nodded, twisted the accelerator and drove away.

He returned home according to the original route, because when he came, Ding Yunfei had already memorized the route he had passed. He had a good memory and did not get lost. He rode a motorcycle with Ding Xiaoying and rode home quickly.

Grandma Ding was resting on the stone pier in front of her house, fanning herself with a cattail fan in her hand. Seeing her grandchildren coming back from work, she kindly asked, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Ding Xiaoying jumped off the motorcycle and walked towards Grandma Ding, "Grandma, have you had your porridge yet? I'll get you some hot porridge."

"I've had it." Grandma Ding said kindly, shaking her cattail fan.

After Ding Yunfei parked the motorcycle, he also walked towards the door of the house. When he reached the door, he nodded at Grandma Ding a little cautiously, as a greeting. He was still not used to calling the original owner's family.

Grandma Ding didn't mind either, and said with a smile, "Go inside and have a rest."

"Yeah." Ding Yunfei responded, walked into the house, walked through the living room, came to the backyard, washed his hands, worked for most of the day, his hands were dirty, he washed them with soap several times before they were clean , the clothes on his body were also dirty, and he was sweating and sticky. It was really uncomfortable. There was no other way. Ding Yunfei had to take the clean clothes and take a cold shower in the bathroom, although it was washed in cold water. , but because it is summer, the weather is hot, the water in the water pipes is hot, and the washing is not cold at all.

He had just finished taking a shower and changed his clothes when Ding Zhong and Chen Sufen drove the ox cart back home. Ding Zhong called him from the yard: "Yun Fei, come and help move the corn."

Ding Yunfei: "..."

Well, this bath was a waste of time.

Ding Yunfei wiped his hair carelessly with a towel, then went to the yard to help, and together with Ding Zhong carried the sacks of corn from the bullock cart to the house and put them away.

When he finished his work, Ding Yunfei was sweating again. He didn't expect that he would do so much farm work in just one day. Ding Yunfei admired himself a little.

After moving the corn and resting for a while, Ding Yunfei returned to the backyard, and was about to take the dirty clothes he had changed to wash. He had seen before that there was no washing machine in their house, so they could only wash by hand.

But Ding Yunfei searched around but couldn't find his dirty clothes. He put them in the bathroom when he changed them just now, why disappeared?And the dirty clothes that were changed last night are gone, where are the clothes?

Could it be that someone took it for him to wash?

But no one was washing clothes at home, Chen Sufen and Ding Zhong were still busy in the yard, Grandma Ding was sitting at the door enjoying the cool, only Ding Xiaoying was not at home.By the way, when he was carrying corn in the yard just now, he seemed to see Ding Xiaoying going out with two buckets of clothes. Could it be that Ding Xiaoying took them to the pond for him to wash?

I guess so.

Thinking of this, Ding Yunfei was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. He was so old, and he even asked his sister to help wash the clothes. It seemed a bit shameful. Fortunately, he washed his underwear after taking a shower. Not more shameful.

It is estimated that the original owner often asked his family to help with laundry.

Someone has already washed the clothes for him, and Ding Yunfei has nothing to do again. In this era without mobile phones and computers, it is really boring. Ding Yunfei walked around the house boredly, walked to the living room, and watched black and white TV. There is actually a small radio next to the radio, and there are several cassettes next to the radio, all of which are albums sung by some well-known old singers. If these things were placed in the 21st century, they would be really antiques.

Seeing these "old antiques", Ding Yunfei immediately became interested. He picked up a cassette and turned on the radio. He was about to put the cassette in to listen to the music, but saw that there was already a cassette in the radio. Ding Yunfei closed it again. On the radio, press the play button, and a familiar melody came from the radio:

"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing

Dry your tears, don't be afraid

At least we still have dreams

He said what is this pain in the wind and rain?

Wipe away your tears and don't ask why..."

Ding Yunfei can also sing this song, and he can't help humming along. He doesn't have a mobile phone to play, and it's good to listen to music.Ding Yunfei just sat on the stone pier in front of his house and looked at the distant mountains while listening to the song.

I don't know how long I sat there, and after listening to a tape, the sun also set on the other side of the mountain, leaving only a fiery red cloud floating in the sky.

At this time, Ding Xiaoying also came back, carrying two big buckets full of clothes, and she really went to do the laundry.Ding Yunfei hurriedly got up and walked over to take the two buckets of clothes that Ding Xiaoying was carrying in his hands, and asked Ding Xiaoying casually, "Where do you take them to dry?"

Ding Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, as if she was overwhelmed by flattery, she was stunned for a few seconds before she said: "The backyard."

Ding Yunfei didn't notice the surprise on Ding Xiaoying's face, and walked towards the backyard with two buckets of clothes.

Under the eaves of the backyard, there is a long bamboo pole hanging horizontally, and several drying racks are hung on the pole. It is estimated that clothes are usually dried here.

Ding Yunfei put down the bucket, looked at the clothes in the bucket, and sure enough, he saw that his clothes were also in the bucket, and they were very clean.Ding Yunfei was moved for a while, and took off the hanger from the pole to dry the clothes.

Ding Xiaoying took out a clothes hanger from the house, and stood beside the bucket to dry the clothes with Ding Yunfei.Ding Xiaoying not only helped Ding Yunfei to wash the clothes, but also the rest of the family. It must be very tiring to wash so many clothes. The little girl is very diligent and sensible. Ding Yunfei likes this sister very much.

The two of them were drying their clothes when they suddenly heard Ding Zhong call out from the kitchen: "Yun Fei, come here."

"Okay." Ding Yunfei responded, hung the clothes hanger on the pole, and then walked to the kitchen.

When he came to the kitchen, he saw Ding Zhong was standing by the desk cutting vegetables. Seeing him coming in, Ding Zhong put down the kitchen knife, picked up a jug from under the dining table, and said to him, "Go help me make a jug of wine." , took out a wad of crumpled money from his pocket, took out a piece of 10 yuan and handed it to him.

Ding Yunfei took the jug and the money, and asked, "Where do you go to buy wine?"

Ding Zhong glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Go to your classmate Wei Yao's house."

"...Where?" Ding Yunfei was stunned, "Wei's house?"

The author has something to say:

Thank you little cuties for watering the nutrient solution, I love you~

The lyrics quoted in this chapter are from the song "Sailor" written and composed by Zheng Zhihua

lyrics:

bitter sand

Pain in the face

scolding like a father

mother's cry

never forget

young me

like being alone by the sea

Roll up your pants and step barefoot on the beach

Always fantasize that there is another world at the end of the ocean

always thought brave sailors were real men

Always look like a weak coward

Always hear sailors say when being bullied

He said what is this pain in the wind and rain?

Dry your tears, don't be afraid

At least we still have dreams

He said what is this pain in the wind and rain?

Dry your tears, don't ask

why

after growing up

work hard for the ideal

gradually ignored

News from father, mother and hometown

me now

life is like acting

speak insincere words

wearing a mask of hypocrisy

Always deceive yourself with trivial achievements

I always feel an inexplicable emptiness

Always rely on a little alcohol anesthesia to fall asleep

Half asleep as if to hear the sailor again

He said what is this pain in the wind and rain?

Dry your tears, don't be afraid

At least we still have dreams

He said what is this pain in the wind and rain?

Dry your tears, don't ask

why

……
