Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 76

The next day, Zhang Yun followed Zhang Zhang and Zhu Zi to Botang Village.After entering the village, Zhang Zhang and the others went directly to Hong Cheng's house, and called out loudly outside the gate, "Doctor Xiao Hong, here we come."

"Children, you are here again. Cheng'er has already gone to the paddy field." Hearing the call, Grandma Hong came out of the kitchen on tiptoe. up.

"Grandma Hong." Zhang Yun came out of the crowd and greeted Grandma Hong.

Grandma Hong squinted her eyes at Zhang Yun, and immediately recognized her. She hurriedly greeted her with a smile, and said, "Girl, you are here too. Come on, go and sit in the main room."

"Grandma Hong, you're welcome. I have to go to the paddy field too. I'll come back to see you later." Zhang Yun stepped forward to support her, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile.

Grandma Hong politely asked her to stay, but Zhang Yun declined one by one, and then followed Zhang Zhang and the others to the paddy field outside the village.

These people had already been here yesterday, and today they walked from the ridge of the field familiarly, and when they got close to the Hong family's paddy field, they called out loudly, "Doctor Xiao Hong, we are here."

Hong Cheng was already in the paddy field, bent over to dig a ditch with his trousers on his arms, when the call sounded, he was throwing a shovelful of soil onto the ridge beside him, when he heard the call, he stopped, turned his head and looked over .

Seeing Zhang Yun who was coming along with the crowd, Hong Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and with a push of his hands on the side ridge, he jumped out of the ditch.

"You guys are here. Most of the digging was done yesterday, and it shouldn't take much time today." Hong Cheng patted the dirt on his hands and walked towards them.

Zhang Zhang, who was walking in front, answered with a smile: "Yes, I told Yun'er yesterday that it only takes half a day today, and it will be almost ready."

Hearing Zhang Yun mentioned, Hong Cheng looked at her, grinned slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang, you are here too."

Zhang Yun nodded with a smile, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I had something to do yesterday, so I couldn't come here. Doctor Xiao Hong, please don't be offended."

When Hong Cheng heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "How could I, you people came to dig ditches and ridges for my paddy field, it's too late to thank you, how can you say something like that."

"Okay, let's stop being polite, let's do it." Seeing that the two of them were speaking politely, Chang Zhu couldn't help but interjected with a smile. When Hong Cheng heard this, he nodded hurriedly and turned around. From the side of the field ridge, he brought a bundle of dry straw, spread it on the dirt floor, smiled slightly at Zhang Yun, and said, "Miss Zhang, sit here."

Before Zhang Yun replied, a voice came from the paddy field: "Cheng'er, don't dawdle, hurry up and dig." Zhang Yun followed the voice and found Grandpa Hong standing in the mud ditch. Still digging with a shovel.

Seeing Grandpa Hong urging him up, Zhang Yun hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Little Doctor Hong, don't worry about me, go and help Grandpa Hong."

When the children in Tuntian Village heard Grandpa Hong's urging, they all bent down and rolled up their trousers, and then jumped into the paddy field one by one from the ridge of the field, and walked towards the direction where Grandpa Hong was standing.

Seeing that they were all leaving, Hong Cheng nodded to Zhang Yun and ran down the paddy field as he didn't want to delay too much.

Several boys scattered to the outermost circle of the paddy field, put down the shovels in their hands, swung all the hoes on their shoulders, and hoeed down towards the ditch that had not been widened. After a few hoes, the soil turned over Get up, wait until some soil is hoeed, then change to a shovel, shovel the soil that has been dug out, push it to the side of the ditch to fill it up, tap the back of the shovel a few times to compact the soil, and push the soil to fill it up , forming a ridge.

Zhang Yun stood on the ridge of the field, and didn't sit down on the straw laid by Hong Cheng, but wanted to take a few steps to see the situation of the ridges. She had previously told her elder brother how far apart the ridges in the paddy field should be. The distance and how wide the ridge can be, so that several rows of rice seedlings can be planted on the ridge, and the depression under the ridge can be used as a space for fish and shrimp to move freely.

I walked a few steps on the ridge of the field and took a general look at the ridges in the paddy field. Now the ridges on the outermost sides have basically been filled up, while the ones in the middle of the paddy field have not yet. The ditch has been widened a lot. Looking at the situation, she is quite satisfied.

When Zhang Yun was looking around, a voice came from behind him: "Children, you are really working hard." Hearing the voice, Zhang Yun turned his head and looked over, and saw Dr. Lin carrying a medicine box, stepping on the field ridge road to Come here.

"Doctor Lin." The children who were busy with hoes in the paddy field stopped when they heard the call, looked over, greeted with a smile, and Zhang Yun went forward to meet him.

"Girl, you're here too. Look at it. In a few days, your fish and shrimp will be raised in the fields." Seeing Zhang Yun approaching, Dr. Lin stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.

During the conversation, Zhang Yun had already arrived in front of Dr. Lin, and replied with a busy smile: "Yes, the paddy field here will be ready today, and after the seedlings are planted, the fish and shrimp can be put down. If they are raised well, In a few months, I will be able to invite Dr. Lin to eat braised fish and drink fish soup."

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat the fish you cooked. The old man is greedy. Girl, you can cook a few more for me to taste." Doctor Lin laughed loudly after speaking. After going out, the children working in the paddy field heard it and laughed too.

"It's not easy for Doctor Lin to want to eat fish. Yun'er just cooked fish head tofu yesterday. It's delicious. Next time when you get fish, I'll ask her to cook it for you to try. Try her skills." It's okay." After laughing, Zhang Zhang echoed loudly.

Dr. Lin looked at Zhang Yun with narrowed eyes and a smile, and said, "Girl not only has a good brain, but also looks like a good cooking skill. It is really a blessing that someone will marry you as a daughter-in-law in the future."

All the boys who said this looked at Zhang Yun, and Hong Cheng, who was standing beside Grandpa Hong, also cast his gaze at her, and even Grandpa Hong glanced at her slightly.

Although Zhang Yun is not like other ancient girls who are shy and blushing when talking about marriage and marriage, but she is still a girl after all, and in front of so many boys, when such a thing is mentioned, she will inevitably feel embarrassed and stretch out her hand Shaking Dr. Lin's arm, he said angrily, "Doctor Lin, why are you being so popular, and it's embarrassing to say such things."

"Haha, hahaha, blame me, blame me, don't mention it in the future, I have to go first, I have to go to the village to see a doctor." Dr. Lin said with a smile, and turned to Grandpa Hong in the paddy field Nodding his head, he turned around and walked the way he had come and went. After walking a few steps, he took out the copper bell from his bosom and started shaking it.

After a while, Dr. Lin's ringing of the bell disappeared, and the boys continued to work hard.

Zhang Yun walked to the Zhangzhang side, squatted down on the field ridge, watched them work, and listened to the gossip of a few people. Occasionally, he beckoned his elder brother to listen to him, and bit his ears with him a few times, asking him to help convey Instructions, after all, she is a girl, and it is not very good to point fingers, especially when there is an old man like Grandpa Hong around, so it will be much better to speak out through the regulations.

Under Zhang Yun's instructions several times, the soil ditch beside the paddy field has been widened properly, and all the soil ridges in the field have been pushed and filled one by one. After noon, all the work on the whole field has been completed.

"Okay, it's all done." Looking at the high soil ridges in the paddy field, Zhang Zhang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and shouted with a smile.

As soon as he finished yelling, the other boys also started laughing and picking up farm tools in their hands.

"Children, it's really hard work for you. Let's go, go to our house to wash up, and drink some water after sitting down. You must be hungry for half a day. The old woman should have cooked food. Everyone, go eat something to fill your stomach." Hong As Grandpa spoke, he climbed out of the ditches, waved to the boys, stepped onto the ridge with a hoe on his back, and headed towards the village.

Zhang Zhang and the others wanted to go back, but Grandpa Hong walked straight away without looking back, which seemed a bit irresistible, and it was hard for them to refuse, so they had to gather up all the hoes and shovels, and followed suit one after another. Stepped onto the ridge.

"I'm sorry, my grandpa is so short-tempered, but you are tired after working for a long time, you should go to my house and have a rest." Hong Cheng also stepped onto the field ridge together, and hurriedly explained for Grandpa Hong, And also politely greeted them to sit at home.

Zhang Zhang, Chang Zhu and the others were even more embarrassed to shirk. Everyone nodded and started to walk towards Botang Village. Hong Cheng turned to look at Zhang Yun, walked up to her side, and said, "Miss Zhang, you too Let's go and have a meeting together, since you came last time, my grandma has been thinking about you, she will be happy when you go."

"En." Zhang Yun responded immediately, and smiled at him, the two of them were talking, and walked slowly behind the other boys together.

When they arrived outside Hong's courtyard, Grandma Hong got the news that they were coming, so she walked from the kitchen to the courtyard gate, stretched her body and looked out.

"Old lady, don't stand at the door to attract wind, such a big baby will come here by itself, you don't need to wait." Grandpa Hong stood outside the kitchen, scooping water with a ladle to wash off the mud on his hands and feet, seeing Grandma Hong standing there looking around , I couldn't help calling out.

Grandma Hong turned her head and looked over, and said, "I'm fine, I just stood there to take a look." Having said that, Grandma Hong turned around and walked in, went into the kitchen to get a bowl, put The pancakes baked in the pan were taken out one by one, and green onions were placed on the pancakes.

Zhang Zhang and the children quickly entered the yard. Grandma Hong heard the movement and hurriedly came out with a bowl full of pancakes, but Grandpa Hong picked her up and walked to the main room with the bowl, calling out to her as she walked. Said: "Children, go and scoop up water to wash, and come and eat pancakes after washing."

After smelling the fragrance of the cakes, several boys rushed to the water tank with a smile, scooped up water to wash their hands and feet, and after hastily rinsed, they rushed into the main room before they had time to wipe their hands, and took the food that Grandpa Hong had distributed. The pancakes were rolled up with scallions, and I ate them with gusto.

After everyone had finished eating the pancakes and filled a large bowl with water, they all got up to say goodbye. Zhang Yun hurriedly signaled the regulations and asked him and Hong Cheng to set a time for putting fish and shrimp fry, and then they left the yard together , A group of people went back to Tuntian Village.
