Ordinary countryside reborn

Just after the summer vacation, I entered the double grab.

Tian Yuan wore a straw hat, wiped off the sweat that was about to slip into his eyes, and walked to the edge of the field to drink tea.

After a few mouthfuls of "Gudong Gudong", the stomach was filled with water.

After a busy afternoon, I obviously drank a lot of tea, but I didn't have to go to the toilet once. The clothes on my body were wet and dry, and dry and wet. Tian Yuan already smelled the sour smell on his body, and he just wanted to go back and take a shower.

"Almost finished."

Tian Zhi came over to pick up the teapot, looked at the sweaty Tian Yuan, and said with distress: "I have a little left over, I'll just come and collect it tomorrow morning, you've been raising it at home recently, a girl is almost turning into Bao Gong. "

The straw hat blocked the glare of the sun, but it couldn't resist the ultraviolet rays. Tian Yuan's skin, which had been whitened at school with great difficulty, turned dark again.

Tian Yuan nodded: "Okay, Dad, you have worked hard! What do you want to eat, I will go to the street to buy it tomorrow."

Tian Zhi smiled and said, "What's so hard about this. Are you going to the streets tomorrow? Then buy some pork belly and come back, and see if there are any crucian carp..."

"What kind of pork belly should you buy? You haven't had enough meat at home recently!"

Li Mei came over and interrupted Tian Zhi's ordering. She wiped the sweat from her face, and looked at Tian Zhi up and down on her flushed face: "You are like a bamboo pole, and you don't know that the meat you eat is long." Where did it go?"

Tian Zhi looked annoyed and didn't dare to get angry, "Is the meat you ate recently? You squeezed it for oil, and it's so dry, you have the nerve to say that your family eats meat every day."

Li Mei poured a sip of tea into her mouth and said, "It would be a waste if the fat is not pressed for oil. Didn't it used to be used for pressing oil? Back then you said fried chili with oil residue was the best. Let's start now." Don't like it anymore?"

Now that the family can afford meat, Tian Zhi adapts very quickly. Only Li Mei is still used to thrift and doesn't like extravagance and waste.

"Mom, can I go home now?"

Seeing that the two of them were going to quarrel again, Tian Yuan interjected and asked, she pulled the hem of her clothes to fan the wind, "It's too hot, my body stinks to death, I really want to take a shower and change into clean clothes."

Tian Zhi was too lazy to argue with Li Mei, and said to Tian Yuan: "You take the teapot and sickle and go back first. Your mother and I have to carry millet and straw."

When Tian Yuan returned home, she took a bucket of sun-baked water to the bathroom in the stairwell, and when she finally changed into clean clothes and went downstairs, she heard Tian Jing shouting from the kitchen: "Xiao Yu, you go to the vegetable garden to pick the water again." Order chili, there is another dish that would be delicious with some chili.”

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Tian Yuan walked to the steps, threw the dirty clothes into the basin, saw Tian Yu had already opened the fence gate with a vegetable basket, and shouted at her: "Xiao Yu, help me pick a cucumber."

Hearing Tian Yu's answer, Tian Yuan took the washing powder and started washing clothes.

Because Tian Jing didn't like to work in the fields, she took the initiative to take over the work at home, and Tian Jing was also responsible for washing the family's clothes. Tian Yuan was not used to letting her wash her underwear, so she rubbed her own clothes every time after taking a shower. Well, anyway, the clothes are either sweat or mud, so they are easy to wash.

She plans to buy a washing machine. Several families in the village have already bought one. Tian Xiao's family also bought one last month. It was bought by the third aunt. She didn't go out to work this year.

Tian Yuan was drying clothes on the bamboo poles, Tian Zhi and Li Mei also came back at this time, Li Mei walked in front carrying a load of straw, Tian Zhi walked behind carrying a load of millet, changing shoulders from time to time, Tian Yuan put the last Once a piece of clothing is finished drying, I have to go over to help.

Li Mei saw her and yelled at her: "No need, you just took a shower, don't get dirty again!"

As she said that, she turned directly into the pigsty house next to her, and was going to pile the straw on the roof over there.Tian Zhi didn't stop breathing all the way, carrying the burden into the main room.

Tian Yu also came back with a vegetable basket, Tian Yuan went to help wash the vegetables, washed the cucumber first, threw it into her mouth and ate it, and when Tian Yu finished washing the vegetables and left, she was still savoring the fragrance of the cucumbers, which was of no help at all. busy.

Tian Yuan just stood on the steps and gnawed on cucumbers, looking at the scenery in the distance, and then at the fruit trees in front of him.

The peaches are already ripe, but the peach tree is too tall, she can't climb the tree unless she knocks it down with a bamboo pole, and she's afraid of breaking the fruit, so she thinks she'll pick it when Tian Zhi is free.

The plum tree on the edge of the cliff is also full of fruits, but when I see the green fruit skin, I can't help shaking my body, it's very sour to look at.

After dinner in the evening, Tian Zhi sat on a chair to rest, and vaguely heard someone calling him outside the house, and when he came to his senses, Wang Gui had already entered the door.

"I have been calling you for a long time without saying a word, so you are sleeping."

"Hehe, I was a little sleepy just after eating, I didn't expect to fall asleep while sitting." Tian Zhi quickly got up to entertain him.

Tian Yuan was writing a novel in her room when she heard the voice from the kitchen.

It turned out that the cattle borrowed by Tian Zhi and Wang Gui were robbed by someone jumping in line. After listening for a while, Tian Yuan put down his pen and went to the kitchen.

"I'm really sorry about this. You know it. My family is really in trouble now. He is willing to pay for the cattle, and so am I..." Wang Gui said with a troubled expression on his face.

Tian Zhihei blushed and said nothing, Wang Gui rubbed his hands, embarrassed to continue, the two were silent for a while, Wang Gui looked at Tian Zhi with some embarrassment: "I think your father-in-law's family also has a cow, it should be You can borrow one from him."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.

Tian Zhi didn't know what to say, he and Wang Gui had always had a good relationship, he didn't expect that Wang Gui would backtrack on what he promised, which made him very uncomfortable.

But he is also aware of the conditions of Wang Gui's family, it is indeed difficult to eat meat, hey, people can't push the money out of their hands.

If you can't borrow cattle to plow the field, it will be a big problem if you delay the transplanting at that time. Tian Zhi was thinking about whether to go to his father-in-law to borrow cattle, when he saw Tian Yuan walking over.

Tianyuan moved a small bench to sit next to Tian Zhi, and asked in a discussing tone: "Uncle Gui, how many days will your cattle be borrowed? If the other party is not in a hurry, please lend it to our family first. Our family I don’t have much land, so I should only need to borrow it for one day.”

Wang Gui's own land was about to be harvested, and if he didn't settle down early, he might have to wait for something to happen in the middle of the farm, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait to borrow cattle.

Wang Gui opened his mouth, looked at Tian Yuan's immature face, and finally heaved a heavy sigh.

Knowing that Wang Gui was in trouble, Tian Yuan said directly: "But since you are in this business, Uncle Gui, then we will follow the rules. Do you think 100 yuan a day is enough? You know my dad, and he will definitely take good care of you. Cow, I won’t delay you from borrowing it.”

Tianyuan blinked, and continued: "And you promised my dad first, there is always a first come, first come first."

Tian Zhi stared at Tian Yuan with wide-eyed eyes, quietly tugging on Tian Yuan's clothes corner with one hand, seeing that Tian Yuan ignored him, his face turned red.

Wang Gui took a deep breath. He looked at Tian Yuan, who was the same age as his youngest daughter, and asked in disbelief, "What you said is true? One hundred a day?"

Tianyuan took out a small black wallet from her pocket, which she bought when she and Liu Meixiang went to the city, and she drew a red ticket and handed it over: "I didn't pay for your cattle before, I just fed them to you." I gave it some grass, because the family was in trouble at that time, and Uncle Gui helped our family so much, so we couldn't always take advantage of it."

Wang Gui stared blankly at the red banknotes in his hand. Before he could think of anything to say, Tian Yuan continued to say: "Now that our family's conditions are better, we should pay. My dad was so busy that he forgot to tell us. We didn’t think about it, so I’m sorry.”
