The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 161

During this period of time, the corn planted in the field at home has also matured. I planned to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to harvest, but I didn’t know that the Mid-Autumn Festival was not going well, so there was a bit of delay in time, and now the matter of house repairs has also been put on the table. It's time for the schedule, and I don't have much free time in the future, so Ruhua went to the field with a basket on her back before the sun came out, and wanted to collect a little more to go home, so as to make time for house repairs earlier.

When she got to the field, Ruhua put the back basket on the open space between the corn stalks, broke off one and threw one into the back basket, and then moved the back basket when the distance was longer.This product looks quite easy, but it is quite difficult for a novice like Ruhua.Every time she broke the corn, she had to fix the corn stalk with one hand and then break the corn with the other hand, otherwise she would not be able to break the corn every time the corn stalk was broken.

And everyone who has done farm work knows that the corn leaves have long been scorched by the scorching sun in this season. At this time, as long as you are shirtless and cut by the corn leaves, it will be red and itchy.What's more, the stamens at the tip of the corn stalks have been scorched, as long as the corn stalks are shaken, they will fall to the body, and it is still very itchy!
People who are used to farm work can bear this kind of situation, but as soon as the sun comes out, it is really not something ordinary people can bear.

So Ru took the time to endure the discomfort in his body, and broke more corn to go home before the sun came out.

Maybe it's because I'm used to rural life!After a while, Ruhua got started, her movements were obviously much faster than at the beginning, but no matter how fast she moved, she couldn't stop Eunuch Sun from appearing.

There was more and more sweat, and the clothes were soaked in a short time, making the clothes stick to the back, which was not comfortable at all, but Ruhua still persisted.She has already broken three long lines, and she wants to take advantage of the energy in her body to break the fourth line before resting, otherwise if she stops to rest now, she will definitely not have the motivation to work again after the break.

"Hey! This business is finally over." Ruhua slumped on the ground all of a sudden, but she was exhausted.She reached out and took out a kerchief around her waist and wiped off the beads of sweat on her face.

But why hasn't Saburo come back yet?

Looking at the road from home, Ruhua couldn't help feeling sad.Because all the corn she broke today was not moved home, but gathered in an open field!As for not moving home, it was because Ruhua thought she would move a little bit at a time with her strength, which would delay the time and make herself tired, so it is better to take advantage of this time to break more corn and wait for Sanlang to come back Yes, two or three times will be able to move home.

"Hey! If you didn't go home, you didn't go home. I still don't believe that anyone would dare to steal my corn in broad daylight today?" Ruhua rested for a while, seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but Sanlang hadn't come yet. , I started to worry in my heart, so I made up my mind to move a little less at a time, and the accumulation of less will make more.

Thinking of this, Ruhua picked up the last piece of corn that hadn't fallen on the ground and walked towards home.

There was not much distance from the field to home, but Ruhua still felt that the half-filled corn basket was still heavy, so she took three breaks before finally arriving home.

In the past, I still remember to be lighter when putting the back basket, because Saburo said so, so that the bottom of the back bag is not easy to be damaged.But this time she was so tired that she put the basket on the ground as soon as she got home, and the golden corn immediately rolled all over the ground.

"Xiaobao, hurry up and bring some water for mother, mother is dying of thirst." Ruhua sat down on the threshold and didn't bother to move.

Xiaobao, who was studying in the room, heard this and hurriedly put down the book, and came out with boiling water that had long since cooled, "Mother, here is the water."

After handing the water to his mother, Xiaobao got a fan from nowhere, and just shook it gently like this.

Ruhua poured water into her mouth, and when she quenched her thirst, she felt a gust of cool wind blowing, and she felt a lot cooler. When she turned her head, she saw that Xiaobao was fanning with a cattail fan!Ruhua felt happy for a while, and boasted, "My little treasure is really sensible, he knows how to fan his mother even after she knows that she is intimate!"

Xiao Bao showed his missing front teeth, and said with a smile, "Is that mother still hot now?"

"It's not hot, it's not hot anymore, it's like drinking 'cold water' in my heart right now! It's cool." Ruhua smiled, with a faint, mother's unique smile, and looked at Xiaobao kindly.

"Hehe, then Xiaobao use a little more strength, so that mother will be cooler." Xiaobao increased the strength in his hands, and his small arms kept vibrating.

It looks a little strenuous.

"Okay, okay, Xiaobao, mother is not hot anymore, you can fan it lightly." Ruhua was worried that Xiaobao's arms would be tired, so she hurriedly told Xiaobao to slow down, "That's right, Xiaobao Bao, is dad back?"

"Nope!"

"Then after I finish drinking the water, I will go to carry the corn. If Daddy comes back, I will ask him to pick me up in the field, understand?" Ru Hua poured the last bit of water from the bowl into her mouth.

"Well! Xiaobao knows."

After time and enough rest, Ruhua handed the empty bowl to Xiaobao, then got up and dumped the remaining corn in the basket on the ground.Putting it on the basket, and telling Xiaobao a few more words, Ruhua went out.

But this time Ruhua wore a straw hat made of reeds on top of her head.

On the way, I also met one or two people from the village.

"Sanlang's family is going to go to the ground now! The sun is so poisonous!"

Ruhua also likes this kind of simple and honest villager, so every time she greets her, she is cheerful. As time goes by, every villager is quite willing to greet her.And it was Ruhua's change that broke her previous bad image in the village.

"That's right! Isn't there still some broken corn left in the field! So I have to carry it home!"

"Then why doesn't your Sanlang go? Everyone in the village knows that Sanlang loves you the most. Why is he willing to let you go to the field today?"

"Sanlang is still in the town and hasn't come home!"
