Just in case, Zhang Taiping let Xiaojin and Xiaofeng hover over the wheat field.Unexpectedly, the group of sparrows flew out of the mountain again the next morning, but this time they were driven away by Xiaojin and Xiaofeng before they landed on the ground. Challenge, without restraint along the way, let go of the killing ring, massacred among the sparrows.Xiaoxi also followed to join in the fun, and there were two parrots that kept shouting "kill" in their mouths hanging behind them.It may be a little far away to drive away once, and a few birds didn't come back until noon.

In order to thank Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng, the villagers even tied up their own chickens and sent them to eat. What's more, someone caught a snake and sent them over, making Zhang Taiping dumbfounded.Unable to refuse, he had to accept it, as for whether Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng would eat it or not, I don't know.

At the end of a week, Lu Feng came back from the city with this week's income.A total of 6 yuan was sold this week. Lu Feng had never seen so much money, and she was trembling when she put it on her. The teacher was afraid that someone would steal it.The driver kept it in his pocket all the way, and he was very nervous. Anyone who looked at her would make her terrified for a long time.

When he returned to the village, he didn't even enter his own house, and ran to Zhang Taiping's house without stopping, handed over the money wrapped in an envelope in his pocket to Zhang Taiping, and then took the tea that Cai Yazhi handed over, and there was a feeling that he was about to die. A feeling of exhaustion.

Zhang Taiping didn't rush to open the envelope, but looked at her and asked: "Seeing that you are so scared, is it difficult for someone to follow you?"

Lu Feng was taken aback, shook his head and said: "No one followed, it's just that it's the first time I've seen so much money, and it always feels unsafe to put it in my pocket. When I see someone along the way, I feel like I'm going to grab money. Yes. Don’t let me bring this money back from now on.” She really didn’t want to experience the feeling of nervousness along the way, as if everyone on the road was cheating on her.

Zhang Taiping was also taken aback, feeling that asking her to bring the money back was indeed a little thoughtless.Losing money is a small matter, but the personal injury that comes with it is a big matter.Then he said: "It's because I didn't think carefully. You can call me later and let the delivery man Wang Gui bring the money back."

Lu Feng nodded, and then told Zhang Taiping the situation in the store during this period.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping took the money to the village chief's house, and asked the village chief to announce the distribution of money on the loudspeaker. After a while, a large group of people who sold things or those who didn't sell things came.

Zhang Taiping took the money bag and said: "This week's total input has come out, and now the money is distributed according to the amount of items recorded at that time and the price sold in the city." He took out more than a dozen pieces of paper and said, "This is the price in the store. Let’s pass the price list of all things to each other to see if there is any objection.” He said and handed over a dozen forms to the villagers.

The villagers took the list in their hands and looked at it. The faces of those who had sold things were all happy. There was no other reason, but the price was high!The price above is a price that the villagers have never thought of. The tomato alone is twice the price of the big market in the town.How can you not be happy if your own things are sold at such a price?

An old man said happily that he was selling mountain products such as mushrooms picked in the mountains: "This monkey brain costs 100 yuan!" The "monkey brain" he said was not a real monkey brain, but a A wild fungus that looks a bit like a monkey's head is a rare treasure among mountain mushrooms. It tastes delicious and has high nutritional value. If you are lucky, you will occasionally encounter one or two in the mountains.

After reading the price on the list, the villagers naturally had no objections.In this way, Zhang Taiping distributed money to everyone based on the list and price list recorded.Everyone who got the money was more than he expected, and naturally his face was full of joy. Those who came to watch the excitement and see the situation had no expression on their faces, but their hearts were also hot. Sooner or later, I must be one of them. member.

It is worth mentioning that, to the amazement and envy of the villagers, Wang Laoqiang received nearly 1 yuan for his watermelons, and he was so happy that his mouth almost went behind his ears.

No one forgot Zhang Taiping's kindness even after the money was distributed. Some invited him to eat at home, and some said it was to fill up the truck with gas.Zhang Taiping, who invited them to dinner, refused all of them. As for Zhang Taiping, who said he was fueling the car, he didn't care. Anyway, he hasn't paid for the gas since he bought the truck.

After the villagers dispersed, Lu Feng frowned and asked Zhang Taiping: "Now the wheat is about to turn yellow, what will happen to my wheat?"

Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi had already discussed the countermeasures, smiled and said: "I cut your wheat for you at home, and when the time comes, it will be mixed with mine and milled, and the wheat produced will be distributed to you according to the proportion of the land. You don't need to worry about other things, just look after the store in the store, how about it?"

Lu Feng thought about it, this is a good method, and it is very beneficial to himself. Although he only planted one acre of wheat, if he was busy alone, he would cut it back from the field and turn it into wheat grains. Nor is it an easy task.Now that I don't have to work on my own, I naturally nodded happily and agreed.In fact, she also knew that Zhang Taiping's family was helping her, but she had already received help once and she didn't mind accepting it a second time.

Lu Feng took Tian Tian back to sleep at home for the night, and left with the truck early the next morning.But the village has entered into the midst of busy summer preparations.

In the past few days, the villagers can be seen wandering in the wheat fields every day. One is afraid that the sparrows will go back and forth, and the other is to grasp the ripening of the wheat.And Zhang Taiping is one of them.

The timing of harvesting the wheat is particular, neither too early nor too late.If it is too early, the wheat grains will still swell with water, and they will shrivel up in the sun after cutting, which will affect the quality of the wheat grains; but it should not be too late, if they are completely yellow, they will not be picked up in the hands, if they are ripe The husk on the outside of the wheat grain will dry out and open, and the slight shaking of the ear will cause the grain to fall into the ground.

Therefore, it is necessary to check the condition of the wheat at any time. Everywhere, villagers can be seen picking a wheat ear, rubbing it in the palm of their hand, and then checking the growth of the wheat grain and the condition of the outer wheat husk.Some even chew the wheat grains in their mouths to check the maturity of the wheat grains.

Standing on the ground of his own house, Zhang Taiping also rubbed a wheat ear, put the wheat grains in his mouth and chewed them, it was hard but slightly soft, and tasted like chewing malt sugar.The heat is still a little lacking, today it can’t be cut, the night wind will blow all night tonight, and tomorrow morning and noon will be exposed to the sun until the afternoon before the scythe can be used.

Standing up straight and looking at the wheat fields rippling in the wind, I felt a little joy in my heart. The heavy ears of wheat swayed and rustled from side to side, directly showing this year's harvest.

"This year's wheat harvest is rare in recent years." Wang Gui said from behind.

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "This year's wheat is really gratifying."

"It's just that I don't know why not only a large number of sparrows have been attracted, but also a lot of grasshoppers in this field." As he said, he trampled to death a grasshopper that jumped in front of his feet.

Zhang Taiping didn't know what the grasshoppers in the fields looked like in previous years, but this year there were indeed quite a few grasshoppers. There were several types of grasshoppers jumping around on the straw, some with thin legs, some with thick hind legs, and some with belts. Flying grasshoppers with wings also have different singing sounds.I remember that when I was a child, the old man made a grasshopper cage for him during the busy summer, and put one or two grasshoppers with nice sounds, hanging at the door and listening to the sounds at night. A few children also made a few cages to catch a few grasshoppers.

Suddenly realized that he was still talking to someone, but Shen Si didn't know where his mind had wandered, so he quickly collected himself and said, "Doesn't this just mean that the quality of this year's wheat is good? Those wheat fields outside where pesticides have been applied It is true that there are no grasshoppers in the field, but those wheats are also harmful to people, but it is not obvious under normal circumstances. The more grasshoppers in the field, at least it means that the quality of the wheat is better. In these things, animals are better than humans. Much smarter."

Wang Gui chuckled and said nothing.

Zhang Taiping asked: "How is your wheat? When are you going to start harvesting?"

Wang Gui also tasted the wheat in Zhang Taiping's house and said: "After tonight it will be harvested tomorrow morning, you are still a bit out of sorts."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Well, it is indeed a little bit impossible, so wait for two more hours tomorrow morning and noon, and then enter the land in the afternoon, anyway, there are not many lands."

Wang Gui said again: "It's just that the truck will be delayed tomorrow." This is the real reason why he came to talk to Zhang Taiping.

"Oh, it's okay. I guess no one will be in the mood to worry about this matter these two days. There must not be many things to pull. You can find time to get out of the car tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Zhang Taiping said indifferently.

Wang Gui thought for a while and said, "I can spare some time for this."

"You don't have to have any burdens. It doesn't matter if you really don't have time. The most important thing is to collect food." Zhang Taiping said.

Wang Gui smiled: "As long as you can free up time after tomorrow, if you leave the car the day after tomorrow, it won't affect the wheat harvesting."

Zhang Taiping said: "You and your own time will do."

The two talked for a while, then parted ways.When Zhang Taiping returned home, Cai Yazhi was soaking rice, Zhang Taiping asked curiously: "This is glutinous rice, what are you going to do?"

Cai Yazhi pursed her lips and smiled, "Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days. Soak the glutinous rice first, then steam some rice dumplings."

"Dragon Boat Festival is here!" Zhang Taiping didn't think about the day very much, he didn't expect it to be the Dragon Boat Festival.
