The Dragon Boat Festival here is not as rich as other places. Basically, there are no special programs. Throwing rice dumplings into the river to worship Qu Yuan or rowing dragon boats must have nothing to do with this place. It’s just that the married daughter takes time to go back to her mother’s house to give some rice dumplings and pancakes. What.

Neither the Zhang family nor the Cai family has any relatives in Zhang Taiping's family, so there is no need to go all the way to deliver things to others, and there is no need to receive guests who come to deliver things at home, so Zhang Taiping thinks this day is a quiet day Yes, but things are not as he imagined.

People came to deliver things early in the morning. They were not relatives, but villagers who had given favors to the old man.In such a barren and backward mountain village with inconvenient transportation, there is no hospital as convenient as in the city. Even if you can't bear the wind and cold, you can be like this for a while, not to mention that in a serious illness, you can easily ask for help. life, so the status of the old man in the mountains is particularly important. It is not an exaggerated excuse to say that he has saved countless lives.

It's not a big gift, just a few zongzi or a few oil cakes, Zhang Taiping is not easy to refuse, but he has already steamed a lot of pastries and zongzi, so I don't know if he can finish them.

Just as he saw off a villager, old man Li Zhousheng came over with the basket that Zhang Taiping sent last night, followed by a large group of people. Zhang Taiping recognized them as the children and grandchildren of the two old men, including Tang Yue.

Normally, when the two old men, Li and Tang, went to the back room through the door opened by Zhang Taiping on the south wall of the backyard when they were looking for the old man, it was better than going through the front room, but today a large group of people came. To visit, one must only go through the front entrance.

Zhang Taiping went up to meet him and asked, "Uncle Li, this is...?"

The old man Li Zhousheng said with a smile: "The younger generations are still a little bit interested, come and visit the old man during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Zhang Taiping guessed that it was the Dragon Boat Festival. These people came to visit their parents and stopped by to visit the old man, so they quickly invited them into the house and asked Cai Yazhi to make tea first.As soon as Yaya heard that she came to find grandpa, she didn't need Zhang Taiping's instructions, so she let go of her calves and went to call grandpa.

After the old man came out, everyone presented gifts, all of which were tea, wine and the like. The old man waved his hands one by one for Cai Yazhi to accept.

These people didn't stay for long, as if the mission was completed after delivering the gifts, maybe they were not idlers, it was good to have half a day free, and they drove away one after another.

After the juniors left, Mr. Li took a sip of tea and said enjoying himself: "It's better to be quiet with fewer people."

After Zhang Taiping sent people into the house, Mr. Li said: "Here, I brought it to you. Thank you, handsome. The rice dumplings and pastries last night were really good."

"It should be." Zhang Taiping replied with a smile.

The two chatted with Zhang Taiping for a few words and then followed the old man into the back room. Now they still have a certain time of treatment every day.

Only Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi were left in the room, and they looked at the pile of things on the table and looked at each other in blank dismay.Zhang Taiping thought that today was a quiet day, but he didn't expect it to be so lively.

The rapid change can be described by the weather in May. The morning is still cloudless and the sun is bright, which indicates a good weather. After twelve o'clock, it will start to change.Little by little, dark clouds climbed into the sky, the sun was covered, and the wind began to blow.

This change in weather is not a good thing, Zhang Taiping put down his bowl and ran towards the threshing field, his family also hurried to follow, and he didn't bother to clean up the bowls and tables he had eaten.

Zhang Taiping ran fast but came too late, the big arena was already full of excitement, men and women, old and young alike went to battle and were busy.It is necessary to pile up the wheat stacks planted in the field to dry on the side of the field. Once it rains, it is not only convenient to cover but also frees up space.

A part of the old village head's house has already been built, Wang Gui transported it underneath, and the old village head stacked it on top.Seeing Zhang Taiping coming, the old village head who was stacking the stack kept saying, "If you don't come again, I will ask Wang Gui to call to remind you. The weather in May says rain is rain, and you are so cold." .”

Zhang Taiping also started to stand on the sidelines and said: "I ran out as soon as I saw dark clouds in the sky, and half a bowl of rice was still on the table."

The old village chief shook his head and said: "Your thinking is wrong. During the busy summer, you must pay attention to the weather at any time. If there is a slight change in the sky, you have to cover the wheat quickly. It is the kind of cloud that suddenly comes on a sunny day." It’s not uncommon for the next ten to twenty minutes of heavy rain to happen. It’s too late to start after the rain falls.”

Zhang Taiping nodded and felt that he was still a little inexperienced, so he listened humbly.

The family has a clear division of labor, and Fan Ming, Cai Yazhi, and Ye Ling are responsible for pulling the wheat stacks in the distance; although Xing Rushui is a woman, her strength is not inferior to that of a man. Responsible for throwing up the stacks of wheat from below; while Zhang Taiping piles up the piles thrown up like water on top.

Seeing Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng circling in the sky, Zhang Taiping suddenly had an idea, raised his head and whistled, two big eagles immediately swooped down and landed beside Zhang Taiping.

I don’t know what other big eagles are like, anyway, Xiaojin has a high IQ and looks a little psychic, Zhang Taiping just showed him a little demonstration to understand what he meant, although Xiaofeng is not as smart as Xiaojin and can’t understand Zhang Taiping’s meaning, but it doesn’t hinder him Follow Xiao Jin to learn Xiao Jin's movements.

Then there was a surprising scene in the arena. I saw two big eagles grabbing the wheat stacks in the distance and flying them to the top of Zhang Taiping's head, then loosened their claws and threw them down. Everyone could see that the big eagles were helping Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping is transporting wheat stacks.

Everyone recognized that these were Zhang Taiping's two eagles that helped us drive away the sparrows. They didn't expect to be so smart and knew how to help the master clean up the wheat. They couldn't help being amazed. The little dolls who were busy beating the side drums were immediately attracted by this thing, and watched happily and curiously below.

A bundle of wheat doesn’t really weigh much. Two big eagles can easily grab it and fly without any sense of sluggishness. Sending bundles of wheat is much more efficient than humans.

The old village chief sighed beside him: "You two big eagles are amazing. The commander really knows how to tame animals. Not to mention the three big dogs in the house, even two big eagles can make them like arms. "

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "The main thing is that Xiaojin and Xiaofeng are smart."

After finishing the base, I went home and took the colored strips to cover them, and tied them tightly with ropes to prevent the colored strips from being blown up by the strong wind.

At this time, dark clouds were already rolling in the sky, the sky was extremely gloomy, black clouds were overwhelming the city, and heavy rain was about to pour.However, Zhang Taiping saw that the wheat of another family next to the village head hadn't been harvested yet. So far neither of them showed up.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but asked the village head in curiosity and surprise: "Whose house does this belong to? It's all in this situation and no one has come to clean it up."

The old village chief and Wang Gui also covered up their own house, and upon hearing Zhang Taiping's questioning, they said, "This is Wang Min's house, let's help put it away and cover it up first." Then they shouted again. A few people who were already busy came over to help.

The Wang Min mentioned by the village chief is the man from Song Lan's family. Zhang Taiping became even more curious. Didn't Song Lan see the weather?Asked: "Where did the two go?"

The old village head also sighed and said: "Today is the college entrance examination, and the two of them accompanied the big girl in the family to take the college entrance examination."

Zhang Taiping could hardly remember the date in the Gregorian calendar in the village, but he didn't expect that today was already a family that took the college entrance examination on June 180th, and he felt silent for a while.It is the wish of every parent to hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. We can't say anything, but we can only blame the weather for making a [-]-degree turn.They must not be ignorant of the changes in the weather during the busy summer, but they are just confused in front of the things that determine the fate of their children.

There are a lot of people and a lot of strength. It didn't take long for nearly ten people to work together to help build up the wheat stacks. However, they encountered trouble when covering with things. Now that Song Lan's family is away, they can't take out the covering cloth.

The old village head said: "Does anyone have a big veil?" This really caught the people around him. The veil is not cheap, and each family only bought one piece. Who would waste money and buy an extra piece to keep at home? Is it idle in there?

Everyone was silent for a while.Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, the village head was also a little anxious, and said: "I still have one at home, but it must not be well covered. Does anyone have a small one?"

"There are no big ones, but there are small ones." A villager immediately replied.

The last few people hurried back to find four smaller pieces of cloth, and when they were joined together, they could be regarded as covering the wheat pile tightly.Finally, it was done before the heavy rain. Although it is not our own, it is not easy for the neighbors to watch the wheat put there and let the heavy rain come.

When it was over and everyone was about to leave, a 40-year-old man ran onto the field panting with a drapery in his arms.It was just that he was stunned when he saw the wheat that had been piled up to cover it, and then he realized what was going on when he saw the people who hadn't left yet.

Seeing his astonished expression bent over and gasping for air, someone already laughed out loud: "Wang Min, you have ordered this toast."

Wang Min also accompanied his daughter to the exam, but hurried back when he realized that the weather was about to change, while Song Lan still insisted on waiting for her daughter outside the exam room.When the car arrived at Fengyukou Village, it stopped coming in. I borrowed a bicycle from Fengyukou Village and pedaled back. I was almost exhausted.Hearing this statement, he grinned and said: "Please, please." Then he came forward and put the colored strips on the ground, took out a cigarette and no one issued a cigarette, "It's all up to everyone today, thank you , Thank you so much, I will definitely invite everyone to drink some other day."

The heavy rain was approaching, and the crowd dispersed without saying any more.On the way Zhang Taiping was walking back, the big raindrops fell down.
