God said I would meet you

Waiting until the bright sun no longer hangs over people's heads like a knife, and when other people's busy figures reappeared in the rice field, Lin Jinyu dripped to the edge of the field, exhaled, and threw the sickle back to the ground with a "dang" sound. On the ground, he opened his skirt and gasped for breath.

He felt that he had never sweated so much at one time in his life. Lin Jinyu herself was actually a person who didn't like to sweat very much. She sweated only on her back, and hardly sweated on her face and neck.

When I used to run 1000 meters in school, some students really looked like they were fished out of the water after running, but he was a little sweaty on his back at most, and looked like a normal person from the front.

But now, Lin Jinyu felt that every pore on his body had been opened, and he was sweating non-stop. The sweat merged into streams and flowed down his back like a stream, and his arms were covered with thick sweat.

He wiped the back of his neck with his backhand and touched the water with his hand.

This feeling was both uncomfortable and inexplicably refreshing... Lin Jinyu came out of the field, stepped on the solid ground, shook the mud off her feet twice, and walked back to the shade of the tree where she was resting earlier.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature was not as hot as it was two o'clock. Lin Jinyu walked over, sat down beside him, and woke Zhang Xinli up.

Zhang Xinli opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Lin Jinyu sitting beside him, like a hippopotamus, picking up a water bottle and drinking wildly.

"What time is it?" He asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Lin Jinyu lifted the hem of his clothes to wipe the sweat from his face and forehead, and fanned his collar frantically to dissipate heat. He said, "Twenty past three, because I'm too lazy to talk to you."

He handed the water bottle to Zhang Xinli: "Here, get up and work."

Zhang Xinli took it, took a sip of water, stood up, and walked directly to the field, ready to do the rest of the work.

Lin Jinyu called him from behind: "Hey," he said, "Do you have any tasks to formally assign me?"

Zhang Xinli said: "It's nothing, the only thing left after harvesting is threshing, and then drying, you don't know that."

"Oh," Lin Jinyu said, "Go to work."

Zhang Xinli looked at him for a while, then took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "This is for you."

Lin Jinyu took it: "Thank you."

He watched Zhang Xinli's figure slowly recede into the waist-deep blue and yellow.Then he rested on the spot for about half an hour, and when the sweat stopped coming out like a faucet was turned on, he stood up, walked to the side of the pile of rice poles, and bent down to pick up a bundle of harvested crops. Paddy, step on the pedal, step on the roller, and lay down the golden grains one by one.

Hearing the movement in the distance, Zhang Xinli turned his head in surprise, but didn't say anything. He only looked at Lin Jinyu for a while, then bent down and continued his work.

In the busyness with almost no gaps, the sun gradually set to the west.

Zhang Xinli walked up to the edge of the field with the last bundle of rice in his arms, put it into the old-fashioned, primitive human-powered threshing machine, beat the last handful of grains, threw the pole aside, patted the ashes on his hands, and said: "Okay, come here today, pack up and go back to eat."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Jinyu relaxed and sat on the ground: "My mother, it's over."

"Are you hungry?" Zhang Xinli asked.

"I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my spine." Lin Jinyu replied.

Zhang Xinli began to put away his things. While packing up the threshed grains, he said, "Then you should eat something else when you go back. The rice has to be cooked fresh, and you might not be able to eat it all at once."

Lin Jinyu originally thought that she would be able to eat immediately after work was over, but when she heard the news, she immediately became depressed and said, "Oh, hurry up then."

Zhang Xinli gave Lin Jinyu the lighter ones, and carried the heavy ones on his back, saying, "Let's go."

Lin Jinyu drooped her slippers and followed behind Zhang Xinli with her things in her hands. She watched him walk barefoot on the dirt road and weeds in the mountains with the pair of red and white pull-back shoes he had replaced. Every time he took a step, he could faintly see the top of his ankles. Protruding ligaments and bones.

A brown squirrel with brown and yellow spots sprinted down from the dense tree canopy. Halfway through the squirrel, it found someone, screamed again, and sprinted back in a hurry.It was the first time Lin Jinyu saw a live squirrel, and she was very curious, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

Zhang Xinli asked him in front: "Why do you use that threshing person?"

"Which one? Is it just the one who pedals?" Lin Jinyu said, "I sat in the back and watched you use it so many times. I can see that it's easy to cut. It's not a high-tech."

"Oh," Zhang Xinli said, "you still look at me, I thought you were just playing with your phone."

Lin Jinyu said: "I want to keep out of sight, but you are the only one in your house, there are no other targets, I don't want to see it, I can only passively accept you appearing on my retina. "

"You'll see it after a while," Zhang Xinli said slowly, "It's not stupid."

"Nonsense," Lin Jinyu said, "I can't do many things because I haven't learned it, not because I don't have the ability to learn."

The earnestness and unconvinced meaning in his tone made Zhang Xinli feel amused, so he intentionally teased him, saying: "It's so slow to cut rice if you have the ability to learn." Twenty past three, so much time has been collected."

Lin Jinyu never imagined that she spent all her energy helping him, and it was fine if this person didn't praise him, but he actually sneered at him. She was very angry at once, and said angrily, "It's good to be willing to help you, and I'm still here to pick and choose." of."

Zhang Xinli continued: "What I said is the truth."

"..." Lin Jinyu wanted to refute, but for a moment he didn't know where to start... After all, he was really slow.

He "..." for a long time, didn't say anything, finally took a breath of anger, walked forward in three steps in two steps, caught up with Zhang Xinli, pushed all the things in his hand into his arms, and said: " Take it yourself!"

Then he walked straight past him, bumping his shoulder hard as he passed by.

With things on his shoulders, things in his hands, and things in his arms, Zhang Xinli paused for a moment. Looking at the figure of Lin Jinyu walking forward in a hurry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he called Lin Jinyu name.

Lin Jinyu ignored him, and rushed forward sullenly, walking on her own.

Zhang Xinli laughed and said, "Jinyu, I'm kidding you, just kidding."

Lin Jinyu still ignored him, Zhang Xinli had no choice but to say: "If you don't come back and help me, I can't take it back by myself."

"Then you just stay here by yourself!" Lin Jinyu said loudly.

Seeing that he still had no intention of stopping, Zhang Xinli lifted the things on his shoulders up, held the shoes in his left hand, and the pile of things that Lin Jinyu threw to him in his right, walked quickly a few steps, and caught up with him.

Lin Jinyu said leisurely, "Didn't you just say you couldn't take it back?"

"It's teasing you." Zhang Xinli said, "Except for this sentence, the last few sentences of this sentence are also teasing you."

"Oh," Lin Jinyu said, "You are really rich in humor."

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Zhang Xinli asked.

"Eat..." Lin Jinyu thought for a while and said, "I want to eat lion head with crab noodles."

Zhang Xinli said, "No."

Lin Jinyu said: "Then change it to bird's nest chicken soup, or anchovy shark's fin is fine, steamed soft-shelled turtle is good, but it's too troublesome to kill, sliced ​​suckling pig is delicious, but it's better to add some clear soup or porridge Yes, get rid of the tiredness."

Zhang Xinli: "..."

Lin Jinyu looked at him with his lips pursed and speechless, relieved, hahahaha said: "You're kidding, idiot."

"Call someone an idiot."

"Whoever is an idiot says who."

Zhang Xinli bumped him with something in his hand, and said, "Childish."

Lin Jinyu bumped his shoulder back as he walked: "You are only naive, and your whole family is naive." He said, "Is it heavy? I'll get some for you."

"No need," Zhang Xinli refused, "I'll be home in 10 minutes."

"I just pretended to be weak and unruly," Lin Jinyu said, "'Oh, I can't take it back alone!'."

"How can I be so disgusting." Zhang Xinli said, "Of course it's a fake, and I usually take it by myself."

"Then I'll get it for you later!" Lin Jinyu said.

Zhang Xinli was about to ask him why he was so kind all of a sudden, when he heard Lin Jinyu continue: "...10 yuan per step, the limit is one catty, and an additional 10 yuan per step per catty for the excess, and the part that is less than one catty is calculated as one catty. "

Zhang Xinli said speechlessly, "You'd be quicker to get the money."

"I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed," Lin Jinyu said poorly, "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way."

The two walked home poorly all the way. Lin Jinyu yelled that she was exhausted as soon as she entered the door, and sat down on the stool regardless of 21.

Zhang Xinli went to put everything back in place, wiped off his sweat and threw the towel to Lin Jinyu, saying, "I'm off to cook, you go and dry off your sweat and change your clothes, or you're afraid of catching a cold."

Lin Jinyu dragged out her voice and said, "Oh..." Her back was sore and her back ached, as if she was about to die.

Zhang Xinli shook his head, turned around and went into the kitchen.

The stove was burning brightly, and the smoke from the chimney overflowed like wisps of man-made gray clouds.

This village here is a mixed Yi-Han settlement. Lin Jinyu has lived in this place for so long and found a simple and clear way to identify whether the owner of the house is Yi or Han.

Yi people generally don’t build stoves in their homes, but only dig a few fire pits, while Han people use both fire pits and stoves together, and they bloom in both directions... Of course, there are a few exceptions.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Xinli came out of the kitchen with a ladle to fetch water, and found that Lin Jinyu was still slumped on the stool like a dead fish, not even changing his posture.

Holding a water ladle, he said to Lin Jinyu, "Get up," Zhang Xinli said, "Go and change."

"Okay..." Lin Jinyu replied immediately.

Zhang Xinli then went out to fetch water. After a minute, he entered the door and saw Lin Jinyu still looking the same, without moving a finger.

He put the water ladle on the table, walked over and patted him: "Get up," he said, "Hurry up."

"Yeah." Lin Jinyu agreed with her mouth, her body still like a mountain.
