Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

Because the sun was very strong for several days in a row, the millet was dried quickly. On the day of drying, people harvested the millet in the afternoon, packed it in snakeskin bags, and then used carts or tricycles for bicycles and motorcycles. Ship it home and put it away.

Ruan Xishi's family had few grains, and after drying, there were only three and a half bags left. Lu Ze drove a motorcycle from home, and the two of them worked together to put the snakeskin bags on the back seat of the car, and tied them with elastic bands. Ship it home.

Their family finished moving the millet very quickly, but other families did not move it so quickly, especially for families with only elderly people. The young labor force has all gone out to work, and there are only two elderly people left in the family. It is very difficult to dry and move the millet.

Usually, everyone can help if they can. This one helps to carry it, and the other side helps to collect it. The elderly can also harvest it in time. But this time, everyone is busy harvesting millet, transporting millet, and watering in the evening. During the cooking time, everyone is too busy to score/lack their skills, let alone help others.

Ruan Xishi packed their things and was about to go home with Lu Ze. Seeing that Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu were still struggling to move the millet onto the cart next door, she said to Lu Ze, "Let's go and help the uncle?"

Lu Ze looked over and felt that it was too hard for the two old men to bring a large cart of millet home, so he replied, "Okay."

So the two of them went over to help, and said to Uncle Niu, "Master, let us transport it back for you. Brother Lu Ze has a motorcycle, so it's more convenient."

Uncle Niu waved his hands politely and said: "Don't bother you, we two old things can move, it's getting late, you go home and cook, ah."

Ruan Xishi insisted: "It's still too early to cook. Our house has been moved, and Brother Lu Ze is also idle. By the way, I will help you move, and it can be regarded as repaying your two elders for taking care of us."

Aunt Niu said: "Oh, Shizi, why do you have to be so clearly separated from the aunt, the aunt knows that you are a good boy, it would be great if you have this kind of heart, I don't need your help, A Ze also needs fuel to drive a motorcycle Money, it's not easy for you two to make money, if you can save it, save it."

Lu Ze also persuaded: "It's okay, it's just a few dollars for gas, so don't be polite when you are old. We are juniors and we should help you."

As he spoke, he picked up a sack of millet from the ground and put it on his motorcycle. Ruan Xishi walked over to help tie it up, then turned around and said to Uncle Niu: "Master, we will help you carry it home first, and you will follow me later." Come on, help open the door and put it in."

Seeing that the two of them took the initiative, Aunt Niu felt embarrassed, and quickly said: "Hey, you two children, really, how can you be so embarrassing, Madam."

Ruan Xishi also climbed onto the motorcycle, waved to them both, and then directed Lu Ze to Uncle Niu's house.

Going to the door of Uncle Niu's house, the door was closed because there was no one at home. Lu Ze and Ruan Xishi moved the millet down. Ruan Xishi said that he was waiting at the door and asked Lu Ze to go back and continue transporting.

In the end, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu compromised. Uncle Niu stayed at the grain drying field to help Lu Ze load the car, and Aunt Niu went home to meet them with the tools for drying the millet.The motorcycle can transport three bags of millet at a time, and it takes four trips back and forth to complete the transport, which saves a lot of time and effort compared to Mr. Niu and Mrs. Niu pulling it back slowly with a cart.

On the way Lu Ze drove to Uncle Niu's house, he met a few villagers he knew. They were surprised that he took this road to transport millet, and asked, "Ah Ze, why are you going this way?"

Lu Ze was driving and only had time to say hello to them. Later they met Uncle Niu who was pushing an empty cart, and asked, "Uncle Niu, why are you pushing an empty cart? Don't you want to transport grain home?"

Uncle Niu smiled cheerfully: "Hey, Shi Zai and A Ze saw that it was too hard for you and me to move the millet, so they insisted on helping us to transport the millet. It doesn't mean that A Ze transported all our millet home , I can only push the cart back."

After hearing this, the villagers suddenly realized: "No wonder I saw Ah Ze driving by here just now. It turns out that the millet in his car belongs to your family. It seems that Ah Ze is a warm-hearted person."

Uncle Niu laughed again and again: "Yes, Ah Ze is a good person, as good as Shi Zai."

After transporting all the millet back to Uncle Niu's house, Mrs. Niu opened the door. Lu Ze and Ruan Xishi helped move the millet in without saying a word.

But Lu Ze said, "It's okay, it's just as you go."

After helping Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu move the millet, it was almost daytime. Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze were about to leave, but Aunt Niu kept calling them to stop and wanted to keep them at home for dinner.

Ruan Xishi was thinking about the family's chickens, ducks and dogs, so she politely declined Aunt Niu's kindness, but Aunt Niu wanted to keep her, so he dragged Lu Ze out and got on a motorcycle to go home.

Lu Ze carried a lot of sacks of millet today, and when he took a shower, he splashed hot water on his shoulders, only to find that his shoulders were scorched and painful.Although he used to exercise a lot before, he could lift things with his hands and shoulders, but that was all flamboyant and embroidered legs. He had never had such a reaction like now, so this kind of reaction was normal. Maybe with a few more exercises, he would be invulnerable.

After taking a shower, he didn't put on his shirt because of the injury on his shoulder, and went straight into the living room and asked Ruan Xishi who was watching TV: "Xiao Ruan, do we have iodine and Yunnan Baiyao at home?"

Ruan Xishi came over nervously and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Lu Ze, are you injured?"

Lu Ze turned sideways to show him the wound on his shoulder, and said calmly, "It's not a big wound, but the skin was worn out while carrying the grain today, and it hurts a bit."

Ruan Xishi looked at it through the light, and whispered in surprise and distress: "It's all broken, isn't it serious? Does it hurt?"

Lu Ze didn't try to be brave, nodded and said, "It's a little bit, but it doesn't hurt too much."

Ruan Xishi gave him a distressed look, and said, "I'll get you medicine, you just sit and wait for me for a while."

Because he often has to do heavy work, there may be some accidents. Grandpa often buys some medicines for bruises and sprains and keeps them at home for backup. Useful.

Before applying the medicine, Ruan Xishi twisted a hot towel and put it on Lu Ze's shoulders, then dipped a cotton swab in iodine to disinfect the broken skin, and then sprinkled a layer of Yunnan Baiyao.

Ruan Xishi carefully applied the medicinal powder on Lu Ze, and said at the same time: "You don't need to do anything these few days, take a good rest and recuperate."

Fortunately, the farm work has come to an end, and both of them can rest for a while in the next few days.

Early the next morning, Ruan Xishi took the iron fork and matches to the grain drying field, planning to burn their straw.Originally, it is best to cook in the evening, but it was already very late when I left Uncle Niu’s house last night. Ruan Xishi was afraid that the chickens and ducks would not be able to see and eat in the dark, so she went home directly, and did not have time to burn the straw. up.But this evening, a theater will be set up in the grain drying field, and the pile of straws will hinder others, so we can only choose to burn it in the morning, and when the ash cools later in the evening, we can pick it up and keep it as fertilizer.

The straw is flammable, and when it is lit, a big fire will start immediately, roasting people very hot. Lu Ze has participated in the bonfire party, but this is the first time he has seen such a big fire. Zhi kept playing with the fire, and had a great time.

Ruan Xishi watched him play with fire with a smile, and when the stalks were almost burnt, he threw the sweet potatoes he brought from home into the ashes, and said to Lu Ze: "Wait a little longer, we can eat roasted sweet potatoes."

Lu Ze had never eaten such a primitive baked sweet potato, so he was attracted to it for a moment, and he honestly squatted down with Ruan Xishi, waiting for the sweet potato to be cooked.

He used to boast that he was a very patient person, but now he seemed to be a different person. After a few minutes, he couldn't help asking Ruan Xishi: "When will I be able to eat, I've been waiting for a long time."

Ruan Xishi laughed and said: "It's not so fast, just wait patiently for a while."

A few minutes later, Lu Ze smelled the sweetness of sweet potatoes in the air, and murmured, "It's ripe!"

Ruan Xishi couldn't help laughing, and comforted him by saying, "Not yet, it's just that the skin is ripe, we have to wait a while."

Obviously, he just ate two bowls of noodles before going out in the morning. It hasn't been a few hours yet, but Lu Ze is as if he hasn't eaten breakfast. He is very hungry. He only wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes. His impatient appearance is completely different from his mature appearance. take.Ruan Xishi was amused by him, and finally couldn't hold back his chanting, so she picked out a few dark things from the ashes, poked them with a stick, and picked them up when they felt soft. half, revealing the golden and purple scoop inside.

The sweet potatoes grown in their family are a special variety. The flesh is white and purple. It tastes not as sweet and soft as the yellow ones. It is sweeter than the purple ones and more glutinous than the white ones.Lu Ze couldn't tell the difference between the varieties of sweet potatoes, he only knew that he was going to be seduced by the smell of roasted sweet potatoes and drool, he couldn't even wait to take it from Ruan Xishi's hand, so he was anxious that Ruan Xishi held the sweet potato's hand and lowered his head He took a big bite out of it, and it burned his teeth.

Lu Ze swears that in the 30 years of his life, he has never had a pot as wild as it is now. Even when he was a baby who couldn't take care of himself, he always chewed and swallowed food carefully, but he failed in roasted sweet potatoes. If seen by someone who knew him before, it would definitely shock people.

But there is only Ruan Xishi in front of him, and Ruan Xishi will not despise him, he is very sure.

Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Niu got help from Lu Ze yesterday, and the next day when she met everyone, she praised how many good people Ruan Xishi picked up from Lu Ze. Seeing how hard it was for them two old and useless people to move the grain, she helped them transport them all home , Even carried it into the house and put it away.

So almost everyone in the village knows that Lu Ze is a warm-hearted man. People who were a little jealous and prejudiced towards him who didn't know where he came from originally changed their attitude and said that Lu Ze is as good as Mr. Ruan. foreigner.

Some people even think that since Lu Ze has been in the village for so long, they don't see him recovering his memory so quickly. He lives in the village, peaceful and helpful, but has no status. It really shouldn't be possible to make a living on one mu of land. We should give him a piece of land and see if he and Ruan Xishi want to build another house for him, just like they accepted Lu Ze when they accepted Teacher Ruan.

Some of them actually proposed to the village chief, but the village chief is busy entertaining the theater troupe today, so he won't have time to think about it for a while, so he will put it aside for the time being and talk to Lu Ze when he is free.

The author has something to say:

Lu Ze: After doing good deeds for a while, I am in a good mood.
