The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 395
On the threshing floor, men, women, old and young all went into battle. The team members with headscarves on their heads, their dark arms swaying with sweat, held wheat straws in their hands, beat them on the chopping board, and threshed manually.

The golden wheat grains are constantly separated from the shell by gravity and fall on the land of the threshing floor, mixed with the hard sweat of the farmers.

Wheat straw can be used for cooking, building roofs, and even weaving things. It has many functions. The threshed wheat straw is piled into small hills on the threshing floor.

Each hillock has to be laid out on the ground again, and then rolled over carefully by a donkey or an ox, pulling a roller.

The old cow knows that the sunset is short, so he does not need to raise his whip to push forward.

The two people who returned home put the things they brought back into the house, consciously picked up the wooden shovel, broom, iron fork, and wooden rake, rolled up their sleeves, and participated in the team's summer harvest feast.

The wooden shovel lifts up the wheat beach on the ground, and the strong wind blows away all the sand and gravel mixed in the wheat grains as well as the wheat chaff. In this way, only the golden wheat seeds fall back to the ground.

One person raises the field and the other plunders, complementing each other and borrowing the direction of the wind.

The wheat has not finished falling, so it must be kept clean before entering the warehouse.

As for the two more people, no one noticed it at first, until Liu Qiang grasped the opportunity very well. It was really a pleasure to watch an old farmer like him advance.

It is fast and accurate, with a strong sense of rhythm, and the movements are full of grace.

Liu Lei, who was holding the big iron fork, was not so skilled. He was quite busy. After grinding the wheat for two or three hours, the upper wheat seeds were completely crushed. The big guy started to use the iron fork and wooden fork to turn over. This is also a delicate job. When shaking, you need to use skillful force, shake it evenly, turn it thoroughly, shake all the seeds to the bottom, and then turn the wheat straw from the bottom layer to the top.

After plowing, it needs to continue to dry, and then the roller continues to roll. After being exposed to the sun at noon, it is time to move to the next step, which is what Liu Qiang is doing.

"Qiangzi, when did you come back? Second uncle, second uncle, Qiangzi and Leizi are all back!"

As a middle-aged man shouted, the people on the threshing floor, who were like machines, finally stopped their work temporarily and looked over there.

Li Feng's grandfather also heard the greeting at this time and took off the straw hat on his head. Then he put down what he was doing and hurried over here.

"Leizi, you've gained weight! You're so strong!"

Young people of the same age were also jumping around in front of Liu Lei at this time, forming a group, patting their shoulders or beating their chests, which was very warm.

"How is the capital? Is it big? Have you gone to see the flag raising?"

The simple rural youth may have traveled farthest, that is, to the town. When they see their childhood friends coming back from the big city or the capital, their eyes show envy.

"I've seen it. I live not far from Tian A Gate and I see it often!"

Liu Lei touched the back of his head and put down the big iron fork in his hand. The smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart. Liu Lei, who used to disappear when he got into the crowd, was surrounded by many friends and faced with him. After scrambling to ask questions, I found something called confidence for the first time.

"I'm back~!"

Grandpa Li Feng watched this scene, walked to his son, and paused for a few seconds. He said thousands of words, and finally condensed them into three words.

The mother is worried that her son has traveled thousands of miles, not to mention that her son is also bringing his eldest grandson with him. As an old man, how can he not miss him after not being able to see him for such a long time.

In a strange city, in a strange environment, for many days and nights, the old couple was worried about their two children, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

"Dad~!"

Liu Qiang grinned. All the bitterness in his smile was forgotten, and tears welled up in his eyes. Isn't this the meaning of going home? A tough man also needs to dock at the harbor occasionally.

"Why are you crying? How old are you? Work first and then go home~!"

Grandpa Li Feng's eyes were moist at this time, maybe he was fascinated by the dust raised. After patting his son's arm hard, the old man hunched his back and stopped.

"Everyone works first. The wheat is harvested. The child will not look for his mother. After harvesting the wheat, he can have a full meal!"

Everyone who had stopped just now regained their enthusiasm for production under the greeting of Grandpa Li Feng. Their children came home and came to work, and it was even harder for others to be lazy.

It wasn't until the evening when bags of wheat were piled on carts, wheelbarrows, and handcarts and put into the warehouse that today's work was considered over.

The scorekeeper tallied up the work points of each family, and the farmer uncles, who were carrying their belongings, picked up their tools and headed towards the smokey house one by one.

"Dad, no, just rest later!"

On the way back, a dull Liu Qiang looked at his old father and couldn't bear it. He should not have been able to have such an intense autumn harvest. It was time for him to be the mainstay of the family and hand it over to the next generation.

"Why are you resting? Isn't that what farmers do?"

How could Grandpa Li Feng not understand his son's words? He couldn't help but ask him to rest, retreat and watch others do it. They, old farmers, have been dealing with the land all their lives, looking at the golden When others are working in the wheat field, isn't this more uncomfortable than killing them?

For them, farming is not work, but love, love for the land and the harvest of food.

Liu Qiang understood what his father was thinking, but he still couldn't help but persuade him. Even for a middle-aged man like him, his legs would feel as heavy as lead after working for an afternoon.

What's more, my father is almost seventy years old.

In the city, workers who have reached my father's age have long since retired. They play chess and read newspapers every day, sitting there for a whole day with a big teapot and a cattail leaf fan.

Although the conditions at home are not as good as those in the city, they are working hard to catch up. The meaning of their hard work is to let the elderly no longer have to be so tired!

"Qiangzi, work for another two years. When your eldest son gets married, I will step down~!"

It seemed to be a discussion, and it seemed to be the old man's decision. After just one sentence, the matter became a foregone conclusion.

"My eldest brother is not ready. When he comes back, Lei Zi's matter needs to be resolved. Xiaofeng is getting married. We got married on the day we came back. We are also workers in the factory and have free love!"

After a moment of silence, Liu Qiang looked at his eldest nephew who was following him and asked his father for his opinion.

"Master, I'm not in a hurry, don't, don't, think about me!"

Liu Lei also didn't expect that the two people in front of him were chatting about him. At this time, his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he quickly denied that he wanted to find a wife.

"It's a joke. When it's time to find someone, you still ask if you're in a hurry. By the time you're in a hurry, others will already have picked out the good ones!"

Grandpa Li Feng slapped his grandson on the back of the head with his calloused hands, catching him off guard and staggering him.

In the past, my family's conditions were poor, I had no money or food rations, and I couldn't afford to marry, so I was delayed.Now, the two younger ones are both well-connected people outside. Not to mention anything else, the money they sent back is enough to get married.

Liu Lei, who was blushing, was forced to acquiesce. It didn't matter whether he wanted to get married or not. What mattered was that the adults thought it was time for him to get married.

When I got home, it was already bustling.

Several children held brightly colored candy wrappers in their hands. You chased me and I chased you. When they saw their father and brother, they rushed to hug them.

"The dead ghost~ is finally willing to come back!"

Aunt Li Feng had an uncontrollable smile on her face. She walked up to her man, bit her lower lip and went straight to pinch the vital spot, regardless of the fact that there was another one riding on her husband's neck.

"Snort, snort!"

The big wild boars in the pig pen also began to scream at this time. The heat of the day has passed, and in the evening, they can't wait for water to clean themselves and lower their body temperature.

"Go, get the bucket of water and the brush!"

On the eve of the meal, the family still did not forget to take good care of the two pigs. Uncle Li Feng, wearing rubber shoes at this time, used a gourd and gourd to water the pig pen and flush the floor, while pouring some on the pigs to make them comfortable.

"How many pounds do you weigh now?"

Liu Qiang reached out and pushed the pig manure on the ground to the back of the pig pen while chatting with his brother.

"I lifted it up with Er Yazi a few days ago. The male weighs 170 pounds and the female weighs over 150 pounds. The female should be here now too!"

The two wild boars are not afraid of life. You can still see the cut tusks on the side of the male's mouth. The pig raised its mouth and sniffed Liu Qiang, and then lay belly-down in the water on the ground.

The two of them worked hard for a while, until the two big pigs no longer chirped, but reclined comfortably, and then they came out of the pigsty.

At this time, the children in the yard had already gathered in the house, surrounding the pot of braised pork on the table, and their mouths were watering with greed.

"Well, it tastes good~!"

Grandpa Li Feng couldn't hold back when he smelled the taste. He picked up a piece of chopsticks and sucked the soft pig skin into his mouth. Only then was he willing to give the lean and fat parts to his grandchildren.

"They were all from Xiaofeng's banquet. The chef's skills were really good. It's a pity that there was an accident!"

In this way, the family gathered around the table, eating meat, breaking off steamed buns, soaking in the soup, then happily stuffing it into their mouths, and just recounted what happened at the wedding banquet. Tao Lai.

"Hey, really, how could something like this happen? This is the capital!"

Li Feng's grandmother was stunned for a moment after hearing these things. Her grandson's wedding was more exciting than those who sang in big operas outside.

"As long as everything is fine, it's fine. Alas, your sister's house can't withstand the strong wind!"

Grandpa Li Feng lamented for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Watching the children eating happily, he disappeared from missing his daughter and grandson.

"This kid Xiaofeng has become a section chief now. He is a serious national cadre and oversees hundreds of people. Dad, look at this, this is the newspaper he is in~!"

Liu Qiang didn't know where he found the report after the end of the two sessions. Grandpa Li Feng hurriedly searched around and found reading glasses. He put the newspaper in front of the kerosene lamp and read it carefully.

"This kid is really promising. The political director even shook hands with him. I saw it with my own eyes~!"

Children don't understand this. As long as they have meat to eat and sweets to eat, that is happiness.

But the adults couldn't sit still. Even Li Feng's grandmother had her eyes widened at this moment. If she hadn't been illiterate, she would have grabbed the newspaper and had a good look at it.

"You are really promising. Li Deyi gave birth to a good son. Qiangzi, here, pour me another glass~!"

After reading it hastily, Grandpa Li Feng rubbed the blurry photo in the newspaper. The young man was his eldest grandson, the eldest grandson who had been personally praised by the country's top leaders. The old man was even happier than the children were back.

Such an eldest grandson would not only bring honor to the Li family, but also to the Liu family. He hurriedly and carefully put the newspaper away along the folds. For him, it was much more satisfying than the braised pork.

After drinking a cup of sweet potato cake again, Grandpa Li Feng had never been so happy as at this time. The children came home, the grandparents and grandchildren were all in the house, and his hands were finally no longer poor. The eldest grandson also did great things outside.

"Dad, please drink less. My sister specially told you to take it easy. If you are not in good health, you won't be able to go to the capital!"

The dizzy Grandpa Li Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The wine cup in his hand was a little unsteady, and he looked at his son with wide eyes.

"What, me, can I still go to the capital?"

The old man pointed at himself in disbelief, quickly put down the wine cup, and stepped aside obediently. This shows how tempting it is for him to go to the capital.

"It's almost time. My sister told me to let Xiaofeng arrange it. Anyway, he is in charge of the transportation department. If the train or car is passing by then, I can take it there~!"

"It's nonsense. Isn't this causing trouble for the country? You go back and tell her now, don't let Xiaofeng fool around. We can't take advantage of this. Cadres, cadres are not the ones who let Xiaofeng do this. It's okay if I don't go to the capital~!"

Hearing the idea from his son's mouth, the old man shook his head firmly. He was drunk, but not drunk. If it was an upright past, he would rather. If this kind of sneakiness was absorbed by the people, he would rather it pass like this. Just stay at home.

Everyone who was chatting and laughing just now, now their expressions became stiff after being punished like this, and they were no longer as noisy as before.

"Okay, let's go out after eating. Old lady, lock the door~!"

Grandpa Li Feng looked serious at this time. He called his two sons and kicked them out first. Then the family gathered around under the kerosene lamp.

"The money you brought back~!"

Following the low-pitched reminder, the two wandering wanderers spread all the hard-earned money on the table.

"Gudong~!"

Li Feng's two aunts swallowed in frustration, their eyes turned into bells, money, a lot of money, they had never seen so much money, even if it still smelled like feet, but it was real Money, for them, is life.

"It's all here. I need to keep some of it to buy the tickets back. This part will be used to buy work points. The rest is here!"

After dividing some of the two piles of money, there was still a big pile left. Although they were all loose bills like [-] cents and [-] cents, and they were all wrinkled, to the few rural people who had seen the Big Black Ten , this is a huge amount of property, enough to change the living environment of one's own family.
