Ordinary countryside reborn

It's the double harvest season again, and the fields are full of harvest scenes, with golden rice ears "spread" all over the rice fields.

Many people have already begun planting sickle, but Tian Zhi decided to delay it for two days based on the situation in his own land.

Tian Jing was mainly responsible for the meals and some household chores. Li Mei had called her home to help as early as two days ago, leaving Zeng Qin to look after the store. Tian Yu also stayed at home to help her and was responsible for delivering food and water to the fields.

Tianyuan put on his boots and straw hat and went to the fields with his parents.

When asked to do housework, she would rather go to the fields. She is not afraid of being in the fields even if the sun is shining on her. She enjoys the hearty labor and sweating during the harvest season.

The villagers have been busy in the fields for several days. Wang Fangjun has finished harvesting, and Tian Zhi's family still has many fields that have not yet been cut. He went over to help with a sickle the next day.

"Fangjun, why are you free this year? Don't you have to go to your in-law's house to help?" Tian Zhi bent over, waving the sickle while chatting with Wang Fangjun.

After these few days of "sunbathing", everyone was a lot darker, and Wang Fangjun was evenly darker. He smiled and replied: "Xiaoping is gone, so I won't go. Your family eats so much every day." Okay, I'll come over and grab some meat to eat."

The relationship between the two families is better than before. Since Xiaoping doesn't know how to use a sewing machine, she only makes clothes in the winter and puts them in Tian Jing's store to get some money. After the spring, she starts learning sewing machines from Li Mei. She was very good at farm work, and every year she would go to her parents' house to help out after finishing the work in her own fields.

Xiaoping originally said she would go home to help her parents tomorrow, but Wang Fangjun refused and asked her to go back alone.

Xiaoping also has a married sister and a young and strong brother. Her parents are about the same age as Tian Dafu. She doesn't need help at all in the field work. However, Xiaoping, as the eldest sister, is used to taking care of the family and goes back to help every year. Her younger sister only went there as a formality, and her younger brother was spoiled by the family to do nothing.

Wang Fangjun was somewhat unhappy because they were in the same village, and his father-in-law's family only came to him for everything.

Li Mei straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her elbow, and said with a smile: "Let Xiaojing cook a big meal for you that night, and make sure there is enough meat."

Wang Fangjun said with a naive smile: "Then no need, you usually eat very well."

Tianyuan ran to rest next to the field. When he heard this, he said: "Let me buy two more watermelons to chill..."

"Mom, you think you still need a refrigerator in the summer. Fruits are delicious when they are iced, and you can even make popsicles!"

Seeing that Tianyuan hadn't given up on buying a refrigerator, Li Mei laughed and said, "Be careful if you eat too many popsicles and get upset. Just buy watermelon and freeze it in water. It will be just as delicious."

Wang Gui, who was busy in the field next door, also heard it and shouted like a cheer: "How can putting it in the water is better than putting it in the refrigerator? I'm afraid the surface has cooled down but it's still hot inside, Yuanyuan, don't you think so?" ?”

Tianyuan fanned himself with a straw hat and responded with a smile: "That's right, uncle Gui understands. My mother doesn't agree. Originally, I wanted to buy more popsicles and fruits to put at home, so I can eat them whenever I want."

After hearing this, the people around started to tease Li Mei, "Yuanyuan is so capable, Li Mei, why are you reluctant to not fulfill her wishes?"

"If this were my daughter, I would wish I could pick off the stars and the moon and give them to her."

"Hahaha, that's right. There are a few people in the village who don't envy your family for having such a smart, sensible and capable daughter. Oh, she will take the college entrance examination next year, right?"  "That Yuanyuan must be a college student. By then, Just wait for the wedding banquet!"

"..."

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the scorching wind brought bursts of rice fragrance. With Tian Zhi and his family’s fields as the center, the crowds were chatting enthusiastically and laughing, making it impossible to resist the strong and lively atmosphere. Anyone who was far away would communicate through shouting. Everyone heard it, and occasionally someone's words would make everyone laugh.

There was only one area that seemed to be able to isolate everyone's enthusiasm. The two people in the field only worked silently and did not participate in their topics at all.

Tian Dafu bent over and harvested the rice in front of him all the time, and Tian Bing did the same.

Hearing that Tian Zhi's family was living so well, Tian Dafu felt very resentful and angry at Tian Zhi's unfilial piety. He turned to look at Tian Zhi in the center of the bustle, cursing him in his heart for being a wolf.

Naturally, Tian Zhi didn't know that he was disgusted by Tian Dafu again. He was happily talking to the people around him and setting up a dragon gate array.

The midday sun was so poisonous that people lost all their strength. The food they ate in the morning was already exhausted in the morning's work. Many people collected their sickles and went home, and some of them had food delivered to them. We ate next to the straw pile.

Wang Fangjun and Tian Yuan's family were also sitting by the field to rest. From a distance, they saw Tian Yu coming this way carrying a bamboo basket on her side. Tian Yuan got up to pick her up.

Li Mei grabbed a handful of straw and spread it on the ground. Tianyuan put the food on top, a bowl of fried meat with lettuce, a bowl of leek and eggs, a bowl of cold cucumber, a bowl of braised tofu, a bowl of green vegetables, and the last small pot contained winter melon and pork ribs soup. .

Tian Jing has her own style of doing things, and simple dishes should be made beautifully and taste good. These dishes are specially added knowing that Wang Fangjun is here to help. Usually they only have three dishes at most.

The aroma of these dishes immediately spread out as soon as they were served, making Wang Gui in the field next door very greedy. Looking at the eggplant and fried chili in his bowl, he suddenly felt that it was tasteless.

He stuffed rice into his mouth mechanically, but after eating a few mouthfuls, he raised his head again. Tianyuan walked up to him. She was holding a bowl and said, "Uncle Gui, my sister made a lot of food for lunch. Please try it." How about trying our food?"

She said it politely, and Wang Gui quickly took the bowl, "That's too polite, so I won't be polite."

He turned to look at Tian Zhi and the others, and laughed loudly: "Hey, Tian Zhi, I feel embarrassed eating your food every day. Can you go home to eat it next time? Put it here and make everyone greedy. Very!"

The people around me laughed loudly and responded: "Wang Gui is right. Watching you eat spicy food here every day will make my crispy dried radish no longer smell good."

Tian Zhi smiled proudly: "Then we will go back and hide in the evening to eat big fish and meat, so that you will not be so greedy that your mouth will water."

As expected, a lot of meat dishes were cooked for dinner, which was specially ordered by Li Mei. Therefore, Tian Jing rode to the town to buy meat and bought a big watermelon by the way.

The peaches on the tree were also ripe. Tianyuan took Tian Yu and picked a lot of peaches together. Tian Zhi drank two glasses of wine with Wang Fangjun for dinner. After the wine and meal were full, Wang Fangjun held up his belly and brought The remaining watermelons and a basket of peaches went home.
