With their lover in their arms, accompanied by the croaking of insects and frogs, the two had a good night's sleep.

Lu Yuege's biological clock is very accurate, the genius is bright, he woke up before six o'clock, Nongzijian hugged him from behind like an octopus, and was still asleep, the warm body temperature and regular breathing sound passed close to his body, Lu Yuege Couldn't help but stay on the bed.

Get up lightly, the sky at the foot of the mountain in the distance is already slightly bright, Lu Yuege washes his face and brushes his teeth, washes the rice and makes a fire to cook porridge, then releases the chickens out of the cage and sprinkles some grains for them. The water should also be changed every day.

The pig house needs to be cleaned sooner or later. After cleaning, I have to go to the vegetable garden to pick two boxes of cowhide vegetables and chop them up to cook pig food. The ten and a half-sized piglets are very edible, and the pig food has to be cooked in a big pot every day. .

The porridge was already boiling, Lu Yuege lifted the lid, took out some wood, lowered the heat and continued to cook, Nongzijian stretched his waist and walked to the kitchen after washing, "Why do you get up so early every day? Handsome snail. "

"Morning baby," Lu Yuege wiped his hands and walked over to kiss him, "The plan for a year lies in the spring, and the plan for a day lies in the morning, for our better life."

"Then I have to work harder," Nongzijian rolled up his sleeves, "What am I going to do now?"

"Chop up those pig vegetables, and then cook the pig food." Lu Yuege brought him a small bench, "I'll wash the vegetables and make breakfast."

"It's easy." Nongzijian took the stool and sat down, grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves with his left hand, and started cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife in his right hand.

"Cut slowly, be careful not to cut your hand." Lu Yuege told him.

Nongzijian cut two boxes of chard vegetables, packed them in a dustpan and poured them into a large pot, then scooped two scoops of brown rice from the bag, added enough water for washing rice and vegetables, and after covering the lid, he started light a fire.

The porridge has been cooked, and Lu Yuege started cooking. The breakfast and lunch in the countryside are very simple, usually smashing some chili sour and frying some soybeans to cope.

Now that Meng Renfeng was injured in his leg and Nongzijian was back, naturally he couldn't deal with it as easily as before.Lu Yuege marinated a plate of crispy and spicy cold lettuce shreds, fried a plate of lettuce, and fried six golden poached eggs. There were steamed buns and meat buns in the pot.

Meng Renfeng also woke up, and Nongzijian carried him to the toilet, and after solving the problem, he carried him to the small bed in the living room, and then brought water to wash him.

The pigs in the pigsty kept whining when they heard the sound of water. Lu Yuege scooped two scoops of cooked pig food into the bucket, then added two scoops of rice bran and some leftovers from last night to stir.

Just after lifting the bucket to the outside of the pigsty, a few piglets had already put their forelegs on the fence excitedly. Lu Yuege waved them away with a wooden stick, and then poured the pig food in the bucket into the stone trough. You can't pour it all at once, otherwise it will be arched out of the stone trough, and then pour it after they finish eating, and the more they eat, the longer they will grow.

It was only a little past seven o'clock after breakfast, and Lu Yuege had already prepared clothes and shoes for Nongzijian, "Zijian, change your clothes, you are going to go out."

Nongzijian came during the summer vacation the year before last and was doing autumn harvest work. Now it is spring and he has to do spring planting work.

After changing his clothes and shoes, Lu Yuege put the pole, two bamboo baskets, and the manure mixed on the ox cart. Nongzijian brought the ox over. After he tied the rope, he sat on the ox cart, and Lu Yuege stepped onto the cart. He picked up a small handheld agricultural cultivator and led the way.

They have to go to the dry field to pull out the seedlings first. The green seedlings are planted in the seedling trays. The soil is already clumped. With a little force, the mud can be pulled up. They will tie the straw into small bundles and put them aside. After pulling out the seedlings Shake off the soil from the empty seedling trays, and take them home after washing and reuse them next year.

After pulling out the seedlings, they drove the ox cart to another paddy field.

The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, the distant mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and there is fresh green everywhere. The cattle are dotted on the grass, and there are farmers wearing straw hats driving the cattle to work in the field. Looking around, the sky and the earth are like a A landscape painting by a famous artist.

A middle-aged man was driving an ox cart at the fork in front of him. Three children aged five or six sat in the cart, and seven or eight buffaloes, big and small, followed behind the cart.

The dirt road is very narrow, with a high dirt slope on one side and a small river ditch covered with shrubs on the other, barely enough for two ox carts to pass side by side.

Seeing so many cows on the other side, Nongzijian was a little nervous. What if the two cows fight next time, he has no experience at all.

The children in the car knew him, and they all called him in unison, "Brother Zijian, brother Zijian, you are back again!"

The children's voice was too loud, and the ox behind their cart was a little confused. A half-sized bull stopped in front of the ox pulling the cart. I took a picture of the side, but it turned out to be in the wrong direction, and a herd of cows became chaotic.

"Hey... What's wrong with your cattle, uncle! Hey! Hey! Go away!" Nongzijian was a little flustered and wanted to get out of the car to drive the cattle, what the hell, he is not familiar with the business now!

"Oh, don't be afraid, young man, just beat them to the side." The man smoking a cigarette laughed indifferently.

Lu Yuege, who was a little ahead, parked the cultivator on the side of the road and walked over. He drove the other cows to one side, then took the rope from the farmer's sword and slapped the cows on the other side, and the two cows separated smoothly. Each went its own way.

"June, is your classmate coming to help you with work again?" The man asked loudly while smoking a cigarette.

"Yes. Uncle Jiu, where are you going to farm today?"

"Go to Tiger Ridge. Your classmate is so kind. Come here again every once in a while. Are the city people used to doing this?" It's not that the uncle despises the city people. The work here is dirty and tiring, and the wind blows It's raining, and no one with the conditions would want to do this. It would be great to sit in the office cleanly.

"He came back with me during the summer vacation the year before last and had the autumn harvest. It was amazing." Lu Yuege replied.

"Hey, why doesn't my boss have such classmates." The man's ox cart and a herd of cattle passed by, "If you can find such a labor force, you can be more diverse this year."

The children turned around and shouted, "Brother Zijian, come and play with us when you have time!"

Nongzijian waved at them, "OK!"

Their family's half-grown bull fell behind, and while no one was looking, it turned around and gnawed a bundle of seedlings behind the Nongzi's sword cart, and was dragged down along the way.

"Hey!" Nongzi Jian sitting on the cart turned around and shook the bull with a bamboo whip, "Go away, go away, don't eat my seedlings!"

Lu Yuege walked to the back, picked up the bundle of seedlings and put them on the car, "It's okay, I only ate a little leaves, and they can still be planted."

After driving for about half an hour, the two came to a terraced field. There are some small-scale terraced fields with fertile soil hidden in this area. Lu Yuege's family has two fields here.

The sun has come out, and the wavy terraced fields are full of spring rain, which looks like a mirror under the sunlight. Farmers wearing straw hats are holding the plow and driving the buffalo to plow the land, which is picturesque.

The paddy field of Lu Yuege's family is in the middle of this terraced field. There is a section of the road that is quite steep. It has just rained a few days ago and the road surface is relatively slippery. I was a little worried, but fortunately Lu Yuege drove the cultivator to the edge of his paddy field very skillfully.

In the village, only Lu Yuege and his family have bought a tiller, and the others are still farming with the very traditional buffalo plowing method.

"June, this machine seems to be pretty good." In the paddy field below, a middle-aged man with naked upper body and muddy body was talking loudly to Lu Yuege while driving a cow.

"It's much faster than a cow, and it saves effort, but it consumes a little fuel." Lu Yuege said.

Cows eat grass, and this machine eats diesel, so the cost will be higher, but the efficiency will increase, and the quantity and output will increase accordingly, and people will be much more relaxed and have more time to do other things.

"Well, young people just have ideas, and they really went to college." A peasant woman poured fertilizer into a bucket beside the ox cart, "People on TV use machines for farming. From sowing to harvesting, a big truck goes in. Ka Ka Ka harvested a large piece."

"It's said on TV that 'women have long hair but short knowledge'. It's a plain. In our terrain, how can such a big machine get in!" said the uncle.

"Small machines like this can still get in here, but if you go a little higher or where the water is deeper, this machine won't be able to get in, and you still have to rely on manpower." Lu Yuege said.

Lu Yuege had already plowed the field two days ago, and now it will take another round to beat the soil in the field into a muddy state, so that we can throw seedlings later.

Before the fields are ready, Nongzijian first pulls the cattle to the grassland under the terraces for the cattle to graze.

There are a lot of cows grazing on this grassland, and there are a few children running around playing with the cattle herding. They don't know Nongzi Jian, and they all stare at this tall stranger, and then chatter about Nongzi. A language that Zijian could not understand.

"Hi~ how are you all?" Nongzijian smiled and waved to them.

"Who are you!" A little girl with two missing front teeth yelled at Nongzijian, while several other little boys made faces at Nongzijian.

"I'm a friend of June." Nongzijian pointed to Lu Yuege on the terraced fields.

"Who is June?" The children were not familiar with Lu Yuege who always lived on the mountain.

"Where do you come from?"

"Can you farm?"

"My mother said that children in the city don't know how to farm." A child imitated the words of an adult, "Where does the rice come from? Rice comes out of rice bags."

"The rice is planted by the farmer's uncle!" Several children said in unison.

Nongzijian was always having fun. His mother and grandparents had educated him when he was a child.

Lu Yuege asked him to go up in half an hour, so he played with the children on the grass.

Someone came driving cattle one after another. Nongzijian looked up and saw that it was broken!Patronizing to tease little kids, where's our cow?I go!Which cow belongs to our family? !

He can only distinguish big cows, medium cows, calves, bulls and cows, but so many cows of the same size are mixed together, they all have the same fur, the same horns, the same eyes... There is no difference at all, they all have one How are you?

In rural areas, these cows are the most valuable thing for every household. Meng Renfeng said that this cow was bought after selling the horse and adding more than 2000 yuan. It is the most valuable thing in the family except the pickup truck. .

Nongzi dare not lose his sword, the cow must still be inside, but which one is it?

"Lele, which one is your cow?" Nongzijian could only ask the children for help, and when he finds it, let's make a mark...

The child pointed casually, "The ones over there belong to my family and my uncle's family. There are nine cows in our family, four big ones, two medium ones, and three small balabalas..."

"Then do you know which one belongs to my family?"

"I don't know." The child shook his head and pointed to a group of cows in front of him, "That belongs to Xiaoxiang's family, and that belongs to Huang Wen's family... I have never seen your cows before."

Seeing that the large herd of cattle was about to shift to the front, Nongzijian stretched his long legs and ran to the terraced field in a minute, "Yuege, Yuege, I can't tell which one our cattle are, they are all mixed together. Together!"

Lu Yuege turned off the fire and walked to the edge of the field, "It's okay, it should still be inside the herd of cows, and they can't go anywhere."

"Someone drove the cattle over there, will our cattle follow them?"

"Then let's go down and have a look." Lu Yuege took a bundle of ropes from the car, and walked down the terraced fields with Nongzijian. He patted Nongzijian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we won't disappear."

The two of them walked to the bottom of the terraced fields, and Lu Yuege pointed to a cow from a distance and said, "Look, isn't our cow over there?"

Nongzijian followed his hand and looked over, a few cows had just rolled in the mud, now they couldn't tell the difference, okay? "There are quite a few of them, they all look the same...how did you tell them apart?"

The two walked into the herd, and Lu Yuege untied the rope wrapped around the head of his own buffalo, and then tied it together with the rope in his hand, "It's easy to distinguish after a lot of contact. It is taller than other houses, and the two corners are also smaller, and the distance between the corners is not so large."

"It seems... there is such a thing." Nongzijian was still a little confused.

"It will be easy to recognize after a few days of familiarity. If no one drives them away, they will not go far in a short time. Just don't let them eat the crops in other people's fields. Some cattle that have been raised for a long time are still I'll go home by myself."

"I've only heard that an old horse knows the way, so does the old cow also know the way?"

"Our family used to raise a city, and it would go home by itself when it got dark." Lu Yuege tied one end of the cattle rope to the trunk of a bush. It can't be heated or heated, let's go up and get ready to throw rice seedlings."
