Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 12 Farming

After eating at noon, all the children, including Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming, were sent home by the adults of the Yang family because they were too obstructive.

"Hurry up and go back!" Yuan Shi waved at Chunqiu and the others, then went down to the ground again.

Chunqiu watched Yuan Shi go to the field, and inadvertently glanced at the rice field, hehe!When she looked at the crooked row of rice seedlings they planted, she had a bad feeling, and when she took a look at Yuan's rice seedlings with upright and majestic stems, Sure enough, that sentence should be answered, there is no harm without comparison!Chunqiu smiled, well, they really got in the way.

Chunqiu, who was hit, seemed to be in a bad mood, and followed behind the big team in a very depressed mood, walking slowly.

At this time, the seven members of the Yang family were walking home. Brothers Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming were going back to study, and Mrs. Li had left homework unfinished. Studying books at home, even if they go to the field, it is just like today. After all, for them, nothing is more important than reading.

And Yang Chunni, as the eldest child of the Yang family, is thinking about the meals she should cook tonight.

The few little ones around are fine.It was even more of a frantic run, looking at Huzi and Xiaoshi. In just a short while, he had already run back and forth three times.

"Third Sister, where are you going?" Chunhua's voice came from in front of Chunqiu, completely disturbing Chunqiu's little negative emotions caused by the incident just now, eh?Chunqiu wondered in his heart, raised his head and looked forward, "Second sister, go home later, what's the matter?" Chunqiu replied, she really has nothing to do now, after thinking about it, she has nothing but to go home.

Chunhua's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Chunqiu's words, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"

"Yes, yes." Chunqiu nodded. "Then let's go to the entrance of the village to play." Chunhua then said, reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Chunqiu's clothes, and held it tightly in her hand.

"Village entrance?" Chunqiu blurted out, then frowned again, there should be no one there, Chunqiu added in his heart, now the children in the village are all helping in the field, where is there anyone to play.But Chunqiu looked at his second sister's face showing that she must go, and she wisely didn't say it out. You must know that her second sister loves to play besides eating, and now she can't eat or can't eat. Then I can't play it anymore.

Chunhua looked at the third sister and said nothing for a long time, she couldn't help leaning over to Chunqiu's ear, "Go, go" and at the same time shook Chunqiu's arm vigorously with her hand.

Chunqiu felt the other party's determination to shake off his arm if he didn't agree, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay" Chunqiu nodded, if she doesn't agree, her arm will be broken, okay?

"Then let's go now." After Chunhua finished speaking, before Chunqiu sighed at her newly rescued arm, Chunhua dragged her away and disappeared.

Chunhua left only "Let's go to the entrance of the village" and disappeared in front of Yang Chunjun and others with Chunqiu.

Everyone peeped at each other and scratched their heads in confusion at the same time, what's wrong?
"Huh" Chunhua pulled Chunqiu, and the two ran from the west end of the village to the big poplar tree at the east entrance of the village in one breath, almost paralyzed from exhaustion.Chunhua let go of Chunqiu's hand, and supported the poplar tree to breathe.

"Oh, I'm so exhausted." Chunhua squatted down along the branches of the poplar tree.

"Third Sister, it's good to stand up, but it's even more uncomfortable to squat down." Chunqiu stood not far away, bent over and gasping for breath, propping up his numb legs, gritted his teeth, walked in front of Chunhua, stretched out his hand and pulled her away from her. Pulled up on the ground.

Chunhua reluctantly stood up along Chunqiu's hand, complaining "Oh, I can't even move this leg." After finishing speaking, she pouted and looked down at her leg.

Then you still run so fast?Chunqiu looked at the other party and complained in his heart.

"Third sister, look here." Chunqiu decided to divert Chunhua's attention, pointed to the surroundings and said, "Who is there? Why are we here?" Look at the empty surroundings, if you can play, there will be ghosts!

The entrance of Yangjia Village is still very large, a large flat square is used for enjoying the cool air, and there is a huge poplar tree in the center. It is said that when the ancestors of Yangjia Village came here, it was named after this huge poplar tree. Moreover, the Yang family is an outsider, who escaped from the famine of old man Yang's grandparents, and has lived here for more than 100 years.

These were mentioned by Chunqiu when she listened to Mrs. Yang and Li's spare time, and Chunqiu finally realized that their Yang family and Yang family village had nothing to do with each other, so she thought that their Yang family village was a hiding place for a certain rich family.

Well, Chunqiu has now truly accepted the setting that she is just an ordinary peasant girl, not the setting of Mary Su as the prostitute daughter of a wealthy family or an unfavored concubine.

Hearing Chunqiu's words, Chunhua no longer had the complaining look she had before, she no longer looked down at her legs, but slightly lowered her head at Chunqiu beside her.He said with a righteous look, "Sister, we didn't come to play, you said our grandma and they are so tired, should we go to the river to catch two fish to replenish their bodies?" The pattern of interrogative sentence is forced to be affirmative sentence by Chunhua.

Her elder sister, if one ignores the pair of eyes that shine brightly when fish is mentioned, and the suspected saliva at the corner of her mouth, Chunqiu is still willing to believe her.

Well, Chunqiu looked helplessly at the second sister in front of him, the foodie second sister Chunhua was greedy for fish.

Chunqiu decided not to expose her, originally the farmhouse didn't have big meals every day, so Chunqiu was also greedy.

You need tools to catch fish. Chunqiu spread his hands and said to Chunhua, "But we don't have fishing nets." The two of them were too anxious when they ran, how could they catch fish without fishing nets.

"I took it." Chunhua looked like I had thought about it a long time ago, "I put the fishing net in the reeds and hid it, and we will go in a while." Chunhua looked around and said to Chunqiu furtively, He looked like he was afraid that others would hear.

Chunqiu really wants to say something, there is no one here!
But looking at the excited Chunhua in front of her when she mentioned food, she felt amused in her heart, her sister must be too healed.

Because Chunhua had already made preparations, the two of them didn't have to go home, and they came to the river directly. Chunqiu looked at the clear and bright river in front of him, and was a little bit guilty.

I don't know if it's cold or not, because of the impressive launch in the morning, Chunqiu now looks nervous when he sees the water, so he just stands on the shore blankly, waiting until the spring flowers beside him are long gone. When he took off his shoes and stood in the water calmly, Chunqiu resigned himself to his fate, hiss!This is the most direct thought after Chunqiu went into the water, it's so cool!In an instant, the cold feeling directly hit his Tianling Gai, and Chunqiu felt that his soul was about to go out of his body.

She endured the cold water temperature, clenched her teeth tightly, and after placing the fishing net in the water, she immediately ran to the bank. The river water was so cold, Chunqiu decided that she would never come again next time.

After setting out the fishing nets, the two had nothing else to do, Chunqiu looked up at the reeds not far away, and the two of them resumed their previous business, looking for wild duck eggs.

In mid-April, the reed marshes become more lively than before.The reeds are tender and tall, and now she has successfully lost her head to the past reed seedlings. Chunqiu sighed, isn't this the legendary appearance of taking hormones?The breeze blew past, bringing a rustling sound.

Because there are more and more wild ducks around the reeds during this period, more and more children are attracted to look for duck eggs. Because of this incident, her second sister Chunhua was angry for several days and bluntly said that their family The duck eggs were picked up by others, Chunqiu was helpless when he heard that it was not their family's.

But thinking of her second sister, Chunqiu couldn't control the smile on the corner of her mouth, there was no way, who made her second sister cute.

Finding wild duck eggs requires regularity. This is what Yang Li told Chunqiu. Ducks like to lay eggs in their own nests, so every time Chunqiu finds wild duck nests, he will not destroy it. He will only take the duck eggs inside, and then wait until Take it away when you come back next time.

So this time Chunqiu still sticks to the previous method and goes straight to his destination. Maybe because everyone is busy with farming recently, and the children in the village haven’t come to the reed marsh for a long time. Chunqiu found it in the previous wild duck nest. After picking several chubby green-skinned wild duck eggs and marking the surroundings of the wild duck nest, Chunqiu changed to another destination.

When the two of them came out with a bag of duck eggs in their arms, they were immediately stunned by the other's frizzy appearance. They looked at each other for a long time before they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The harvest of the two of them is quite good, Chunqiu put them together and counted them, it's twenty.

Yo ha!Chunqiu's heart lightened slightly, they were about to get a copper coin today.

And Chunhua's eyes are gone even more at this time, she has a lot of sweets!
There were also many harvests in the river, and two carp weighing more than three catties were successfully caught.In order to facilitate fishing, the two tacitly hid the fishing net in an extremely safe place in the reed marshes, and then went home with the booty in peace.One of them was carrying two carps that weighed three catties, and the other was holding wild duck eggs in his arms. They just walked back from the entrance of the village in such a bright way.

When the two arrived home, the Yuan family hadn't come back, and there was no one else in the yard except the little stones and tigers who were playing.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chunqiu waved at Huzi without any surprises, and after seeing Huzi running in front of him, he asked, "Huzi, is eldest sister in the kitchen?"

"Here." Hu Zi nodded, looking at the fish in Chunqiu's hand, his eyes were slightly bright, "Third Sister, did you and Second Sister catch this together?" Hu Zi said with envy and admiration.

"That's right, that's right." Chunhua raised her head and chest out.

"Second Sister is amazing," Huzi said enviously.

"That's not true." Chunhua nodded, looking confident.

The two of them just came and went and praised each other.

Chunqiu saw that the two of them didn't seem to stop, so he had to interrupt himself to interrupt Huzi, "Okay, don't pester your second sister, go and play, my second sister and I are going I went to the kitchen to ask my eldest sister to cook fish."

I have to say that the mention of eating fish really directly hit the foodie Chunhua's get point. After Chunhua heard Chunqiu's words, she didn't worry about the friendship she had just exchanged with Huzi, "Yeah, go and play, tonight Eating fish?" She looked at the tiger in front of her with disgust who was blocking her from eating fish.

Huzi: His second sister only likes to eat QAQ!
