The men were busy in the pond, and the women had no time to spare. When they finished cutting a crop of cattail grass, tied it up and carried it to the threshing field with a pole, the daughters-in-law of each family would be responsible for turning it over there for drying. Ready to weave.

The work of harvesting and turning in the sun has been busy for four or five days. When the rushes are all dried, Shaw will take the lead to gather the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law of the village. Cattail weaving utensils.

The women are always busy in the fields and at home and rarely have the opportunity to get together as a group. Instead, everyone feels excited and happy, and everyone seems to be very motivated. Every family has advanced the time for dinner, and when the sun is just westward, the daughters-in-law and mother-in-law will hold the bench, bring the towel to wipe sweat, and drink water, etc., in groups of three or four Laughing and talking, they flocked to the threshing field.

This day, as soon as Mrs. Zhou went out, Chang Juan came to Zhang's house, "Yun'er, let's go to the wheat field, it must be lively there." As soon as Chang Juan entered the yard, she ran into the kitchen to call Zhang Yun, Anxious to join in the fun.

"The dishes and chopsticks at home haven't been washed yet." As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished her dinner, Zhang Yun rushed to take over the tidying up, so that she would be less tired and could go out earlier.

Without further ado, Chang Juan rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll help you, we can go after washing soon."

Zhang Yun saw how anxious she was, so he didn't push her away. The two of them washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen together. .

"Brother, Xiaojuan and I are going to thresh the wheat field, and we will be back later, so you can tell Dad." Zhang Yun was dragged away while explaining loudly to the rules of the courtyard.

"Eldest sister, take me too." Before Zhang Cheng could respond, Zhang Xing rushed out from the main room and chased after her.Naturally, Zhang Yun would not refuse, so he slowed down a little, and when Zhang Xing ran up to him, he took his hand and went to the threshing field together.

Walking all the way, I met a lot of girls from the same village on the road, all of them were going to the threshing field, so we all went together.

A large group of girls chatted and laughed and went to the threshing field, which was naturally very eye-catching. They attracted the attention of many teenagers on the way. The girls in the countryside usually walk in the fields, so they are not so shy and coy. Knowing that many boys were looking this way, they didn't avoid it. Everyone just walked happily to their destination.

As soon as a group of people walked around the ancestral hall, they saw the threshing field not far away. It was already crowded with people, and most of them were talkative daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law. There were many children on the periphery of the field, and they were already chasing and playing. It can be described as full of voices.

Zhang Xing couldn't stay any longer, talked to Zhang Yun, and ran to the children.

"Hey, Yun'er, look, it's Chunhua and Xiuhua." Chang Juan's eyes were sharp, and she saw the two sisters of the Wang family who were walking in front of her, and called them loudly. The two stopped walking when they heard the call. He turned his head and looked over.

"Yeah, you guys are so busy. If I knew we would have gone out one step later, I would have had a lot of company with you." Xiuhua turned her head and saw a group of girls, she smiled, turned around and ran towards them Come, Chunhua naturally followed.

As soon as Chunhua came over, she became the focus of everyone. All the girls congratulated her, and some naughty ones said a few words to tease her intentionally, which made her blush and said angrily, "Ignore you!" Come on, just tease me, you wait, when you agree with others, I will definitely tease you back."

Everyone laughed, and a group of people arrived in the middle of the threshing field. The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law had almost sat down on the benches. Shao, Zhou and several young daughter-in-laws were holding the whole The bundles of cattail grass are being divided one by one, so that they can weave by hand.

There are enough daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the village gathered here, and many girls have never come to learn how to weave cattail grass before, so they can't help much. After walking to the field, they all dispersed and stayed in front of their mothers for a while. , they ran out again, gathering in twos and threes on the periphery.

Zhang Yun wanted to help Mrs. Zhou divide the cattail grass, but Mrs. Zhou smiled and pushed her away, saying that there were enough people here, and she was not needed. Zhang Yun had no choice but to give up after hearing this, and went to Shao's to say hello. , ran out, saw that Chang Juan had come out, and went to her side.

He just ran behind Chang Juan, and before he had time to call her, he saw Xiao Cui and Yu Ling walking towards her.

Yu Ling saw Zhang Yun from a long distance away. Thinking of the scene by the mud pond, she felt a little twisted in her heart, and her footsteps hesitated a little, but Xiaocui beside her didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her slow down, she stretched out her hand to hold her With the crook of her arms, she ran to Chang Juan.

"Sister Xiaojuan and Sister Yun'er, you are all here, it's so lively here." Xiao Cui ran to them with a smile and shouted, but Yu Ling didn't have any warm expression on her face, and said lightly. He nodded towards them.

Chang Juan was about to say something, when the girls standing in front suddenly burst into an uproar, followed by giggling laughter, Chang Juan was the most lively person, seeing the commotion over there, she kept talking I didn't even bother to talk, and ran forward with Xiaocui, leaning over to see what happened.

As soon as the two ran away, only Zhang Yun and Yu Ling were left on the spot, and the atmosphere suddenly fell. Zhang Yun wanted to say a few words, and the two followed together, but Yu Ling rolled her eyes at her. Without saying anything, he just turned around and left.

This made Zhang Yun a little confused, but she didn't want to worry about it, so she walked forward and waited until she was in the commotion of the crowd, and looked forward through the gap, only then did she know what the girls were laughing at. It turned out that it was Ding Zi. Walking towards the threshing field, he came with him and several other boys in the village.

Turning her head to look at Chunhua, she was already surrounded by many girls, so many people surrounded her that her expression was blocked, but she must have been too shy.

There was a smile on Zhang Yun's face, thinking of the ancient peasant girls, they were very lively and gossip, not much worse than modern girls. This atmosphere made her feel like she had returned to the youthful girl's life. time.

Zhang Yun followed the crowd with a smile, looked at the group of teenagers, was looked at by many girls with laughter, all showed some shyness on their faces, turned their heads slightly, scratched their ears and cheeks unnaturally, and slowly walked towards the threshing field come.

When they all got close, the girls didn't dare to be so presumptuous anymore, they all moved away and let them pass by.

Ding Zi was caught in the crowd and walked forward. He didn't know who was playing a prank, and suddenly pushed Chunhua. Chunhua was unprepared for a moment, and he stumbled forward, and suddenly appeared out of the crowd.

This is great, all the girls burst into laughter, and even the boys started arguing with each other. Chunhua shyly lowered her head to her chest, barely digging a hole to bury herself, and hurriedly turned her head towards the girl. Run in the heap.

Ding Zi was almost the same, his whole face flushed red, although he was embarrassed, but looking at the expression on his face, there was unconcealable joy.

This small episode was only a quarrel for a while, and it passed quickly. Ding Zi walked with a few boys to the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who weaved the cattail grass. If you take care of his father, you can't come over and contribute, so let him come over and say something.

Of course, Shao and the others are all right, and let Ding Ziniang feel at ease to serve at home. There are a lot of live people here, so she is not the only one missing.

Ding Zi and the others were talking over there, and the girls saw that there was no more excitement to watch, so they dispersed in twos and threes.

Chang Juan and Xiao Cui also got out from the crowd and ran to Zhang Yun. After Xiao Cui came over, she looked around and said, "Lingzi, why don't you see her?"

Zhang Yun didn't know what to say, so he said, "There were too many people just now, so they dispersed." After hearing Zhang Yun's words, Xiaocui stood on tiptoe and looked in all directions. Pointing and shouting: "Sister Xiaojuan, look, Brother Manzi, Brother Mingzi, and Brother Liangzi are also here, over there."

As soon as Chang Juan heard it, she immediately laughed, stood on tiptoe, and shouted, "Where is it, where is it?" While shouting, she looked in the direction Xiaocui pointed, and saw the ancestral hall all at once. Chang Man, Chang Ming, and Chang Liang were walking towards this side of the road that came around.

They both stood on tiptoe happily, only Zhang Yun, when he heard Chang Man's name, his heart twitched, his mind immediately became confused, he didn't know whether to keep it or turn around and run away.

"Brother Manzi, Brother Mingzi, Brother Liangzi, this, this, come over here quickly." Zhang Yun was in a state of confusion, so Xiao Cui jumped up and called out, waving at them vigorously so that they could see her.

Chang Man, Chang Ming, and Chang Liang heard the call all at once, and the three of them walked towards this side.

Just as the three of them were approaching, Yu Ling appeared out of nowhere, slid up to Chang Man's side, and said with a smile, "Brother Man Zi, Brother Ming Zi, Brother Liang Zi."

Seeing Yu Ling, the three brothers greeted her with a smile, and continued walking until they were delayed. Seeing that they were about to reach Zhang Yun and the others, Yu Ling suddenly moved closer to Chang Man, and said with a smile: "Man Brother Zi, have you finished the breakfast I brought you last time?"

Chang Man didn't doubt that there was him, and replied without thinking, "It's all finished." As soon as the words fell, he saw Zhang Yun standing behind Chang Juan, his heart skipped a beat, and his feet moved a little faster. go forward.

"Brother Manzi..." Yu Ling felt that Chang Man quickened her pace, and hurriedly followed up. Just as she was about to say something more, Chang Man ignored her, walked up to Zhang Yun and the others, and called out Said: "Xiaojuan, Xiaocui... Yun'er, you are all here."

After Chang Man finished saying hello, Chang Ming and Chang Liang followed suit. "Yeah, anyway, it's not dark yet, so let's come and join in the fun." Xiao Cui responded directly with a smile, and turned to look at Chang Juan and Zhang Yun after speaking.

Chang Juan was uncharacteristically, she didn't speak enthusiastically, but cast her eyes straight at Yu Ling, and stared at Yu Ling in a blink of an eye. Before she could speak, Zhang Yun said first: "Let's play together, I'll go to my mother That helper." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away without waiting for others to reply.

Chang Man rushed forward two steps instinctively, and then he realized that it was too obvious, so he stopped abruptly, but as soon as he stopped, Chang Juan reached out and grabbed him, pulling her arm and dragging him aside go.
