Farming life in the last days

A few days later, the people in the village finally finished their busy work. No matter how hard it was, they were very happy when they saw the harvested rice. They walked with wind these days.

Although the yield is lower than that of ordinary rice, it is still harvested anyway.

Their family's rice was the first to be taken back. After all the fields were harvested, their family's rice had been dried and collected. By the way, when there were few people, all the grain handed in by their family was handed over.

After handing over the grain, I took back the seeds for the next planting, and cooked a meal with new rice that night.

"Du Qing, why did you eat so little today? Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Lixuan asked with concern.

"Uncomfortable? Who is uncomfortable?" Dad Du asked after hearing the last three words.

"Dad, it's okay. I ate too much fruit today, so I won't eat so much. I will pay attention." Du Qing quickly explained.

The rice grains are crystal clear and big, and they look delicious.

But in fact... Du Qing had a stern face, unable to arouse any interest.

Although the new rice is nutritious and looks delicious... Du Qing chewed it expressionlessly, as if eating sawdust.

Not at all sorry for how delicious it looks.

"Is this new rice?" Xia Lixuan swallowed his first mouthful with difficulty, and said with a complicated face.

"Papa, this is so unpalatable." Du Fu tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, and looked at his small bowl, which was much smaller than theirs.

Wasting food will be condemned by God. The scene of having no food and being hungry before is still vivid in his memory. Even though it was unpalatable, he didn't spit it out.

Du's parents and Du's mother also frowned and swallowed the meal.

"Why does this rice taste like this?" Mama Du wondered.

"Everywhere we buy seeds, the paper says 'the taste is worse than ordinary rice'." Du Qing took another mouthful of rice, chewed it casually, and swallowed it.

"Why didn't I see it?" Xia Lixuan asked strangely.

"...Because you were not present when buying the seeds." Du Qing said.

"This group of guys are really too much, they actually researched such an unpalatable thing!" Xia Lixuan said with righteous indignation, looking at the big bowl in front of him, his appetite alone was as much as the others combined.

Xia Lixuan: The baby feels wronged but the baby doesn't say anything.jpg

Each of them eats in different bowls, Du's father and Du's mother use porcelain bowls, while Du Fu's has iron fists.

Both Du Qing and Xia Lixuan used large bowls for their meals, but today he specially changed to a small porcelain bowl.

"Xiao Du, do you already know that the taste of this rice is bad?" Dad Du asked.

"I had a guess before, but I couldn't confirm it, but now I can confirm it." Du Qing said.

daughter in law!how could you do this? !Xia Lixuan looked at him with accusing eyes.

Du Qing continued to eat without changing his expression.

Seeing that Du Qing ignored him, Xia Lixuan turned his gaze to Du Fu, and said with a kind smile: "My dear son, look at how you've followed us in and out recently, and even got up every morning to run around with me, and now you've lost weight, Dad Give me some food, after you finish eating, eat more, so you can be as good as me."

"No!" Du Fu protected his bowl without saying a word, "There is still in the pot. If I want to eat, I will fill it up by myself. Don't want Xia Baba."

Thinking that he didn't know, this rice was too unpalatable, Xia Baba didn't want to eat it, so she wanted to push it to him, and he didn't want to eat it either.

"Okay, okay, let's just eat this meal, and we will cook with old rice in the future. After we finish eating the old rice, we can figure out a way!" Mama Du waved her hand and decided the next day Inside, they all eat fragrant and soft rice.

It's not this kind of new rice that has a golden appearance and a rotten appearance.

It's over, but I still have to finish the rice this time.

"Xiao Du, have you ever asked them, the weather is so hot now, the soil in the field is all cracked, and there is not a drop of water. Can this rice grow alive?" Duan said another thing matter.

This new rice is resistant to cold and heat. When it was planted for the first time, there was still plenty of water in the field. Afterwards, it was always dry, and the rice survived strongly.

There is no water in the field now, and it may be difficult for the rice to take root, and the surrounding area is hard and dry soil.

In addition to the roots of rice left in the field after harvesting, they also need to turn the field to one side.

The normal process should be to wait for the rice roots to stay in the field for a month or two, wait for them to dry up or rot, then turn over the soil, fill the field with water, and then transplant the rice seedlings in a few days.

But in this damn weather, not a single drop of rain fell.

If there is no more rain, the rare drought in a century may appear soon.

Only Du Qing knew that the drought in the first year was inevitable, and the preparations were not sufficient, not at all.

Many people died in the summer and winter of the first year.

Du Qing looked around their home, it's okay, they will be fine.

However, counting the time, he should also go out for a trip.

This time was almost the time when he met that family. Back then, he was able to survive the first year of the Xia family and the winter because of their family.

"Du Qing, eat more." Xia Lixuan said while spreading rice in his bowl.

Du Qing withdrew his thoughts, looked at Xia Lixuan's bright smile, pressed his forehead, and suddenly said with a smile: "Today, you can move the floor mat to the next room!"

Xia Lixuan's whole body was not well, and he looked at him in disbelief that his wife treated him so cruelly.

Quickly took Du Qing's bowl and covered it into his own big bowl, "Okay, can I sleep on the bed tonight?"

"Sleeping on the floor." Du Qing refilled a bowl of rice and said.

"Got it..." Xia Lixuan ate the eggplants in the bowl listlessly, one by one.

My heart was relieved, hum!He really doesn't understand good people, if he didn't look so strange just now, he wouldn't be so stupid!

And only someone as generous as him would be willing to put up with him.

They really are a match made in heaven, Xia Lixuan thought happily.

Accidentally took a big mouthful of rice, and the expression on his face was distorted.

Like a mouthful of sawdust.

"Eat a little more food, and you can suppress that strange taste." Du Qing looked at his big bowl of rice, and gave him a rare water spinach with chopsticks.

Xia Lixuan became energetic immediately, and said emotionally, "You should also eat more meat."

As he said that, he took a big piece of his favorite pork and gave it to him.

"Mom and Dad, Ah Fu, you should eat more too." Du Qing gave them food without discrimination.

Xia Lixuan was unhappy, he was not unique!

After thinking about it again, the food Du Qing gave him was what he liked to eat, but the dishes he gave to others were random, and he was the first one, Xia Lixuan became happy again.

Du Qing didn't need to think about it, he knew what he was thinking now, he smiled helplessly and sweetly, and continued to eat.

……

After dinner, Du Qing planned to go for a walk in the village and stay at home all day. He was fine, but Xia Lixuan seemed to have ADHD and couldn't calm down for a moment.

He went out by the way to see what other people planned and when the grain and seeds would start breeding.

"Lixuan, come out for a walk! You are also very handsome today!"

"Well, that's right, go out for a walk with Du Qing." Xia Lixuan forcefully stuffed the other party with a mouthful of dog food.

"You two have such a good relationship." The man said enviously.

He doesn't even have a partner yet!

"Of course, I love my wife the most, and my wife loves me the most." Xia Lixuan said triumphantly.

"The gold chain around your neck is not bad!" Xia Lixuan glanced at his chest and said.

"You still look the best." The young man glanced enviously at the gold chain on Xia Lixuan's chest.

"Oh, don't talk about it." Xia Lixuan sighed, "I don't know what happened. The gold chains in the market suddenly ran out of stock, which made me want to buy a few more. Even if I can't wear them, I usually look at them You can also be happy!"

It's not all your doing.

Du Qing looked at the gold chains on the necks of the two of them, and those who passed by to say hello and let them go, all of them wore more than one gold chain around their necks...

Wang Qiang listened to Xia Lixuan's suggestion that day, and when he was working that evening, he also put on a gold chain.

I found that my speed had really improved. Although my speed had increased by [-] to [-] percent, I was showing off in the village with a look of embarrassment.

Although most people take it as a joke, there is no shortage of people who have a try mentality.

Du Qing felt that this was entirely due to self-psychological hints, but if there is the first one, there will be the second one, and one will spread the word.

Afterwards, almost everyone in the village wears more than one gold chain. If you don’t wear it, you will be ashamed to say that you are from our village.

Up to now, no matter men, women or children, they all wear gold chains around their necks...

Xia Lixuan contributed a lot to the rise of this trend in their village.

At the beginning, it was Xia Lixuan who would be looked at strangely by others, and he was worried that Xia Lixuan would have some petty emotions.

Actually.

Before that, Xia Lixuan came back from wandering every day, and told him with great interest how many people looked at him jealously today.

His worry was feeding the dogs.

Now it was the turn of the person who went out without the gold chain to be looked at strangely by others, Du Qing looked at Xia Lixuan subtly.

Even his parents wore a gold chain around their necks.

Well, the two of them completely followed suit and showed off by the way.

After all, theirs came from a gold chain.

"Du Qing, your new rice has been dried in the sun. Yesterday I heard that you have removed the hulls. Have you cooked rice tonight? How does it taste?" asked a passing aunt.

"The taste is very bad, like sawdust." Du Qing said.

"Hahahaha, no matter how bad the taste is, it won't be that bad. You may not be used to it if you're used to the food in the city. Then our family will try this new rice in two days. It's different from ordinary rice. "

Du Qing: "..." As long as you are happy.
