Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 5

After eating the noodles, the three of them went to Su's house to clean up together. Xiao Su Quanquan was in charge of cleaning the grounds, and the good woman and Xiao Xiu helped make the bed.The Su family's bed is the kind of old-fashioned carved bed, Xiaoxiu couldn't take her eyes away when she saw it.The carved bed in Su's family is double-entry, just like the feeling that Xiaoxiu saw on TV before when she peeled off layers of tulle to see a beautiful woman sleeping soundly on the couch.

While wiping off the dust with a rag, Xiaoxiu found that the three sides of the bed were carved with a picture of a hundred children. Those little guys were all carved vividly. Being alone, looking at the smiles of these little guys, Xiaoxiu felt an urge to marry someone early and have a child to play with, the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.After spreading the quilt and pillows, Xiaoxiu felt that she was almost reluctant to leave, she was used to such a carved bed and would not change it for ten Simmonses!

"Good girl, why doesn't our family have such a bed?" Xiaoxiu was still very jealous. "How about we also make a bed like this?"

The good woman smiled and said, "Xiaoxiu, do you like this bed? This bed was distributed from the landlord's family when they were fighting the landlord. It is said that it was used by their young lady. If you like it, go to your old Uncle Liu. "Xiaoxiu nodded straightly, there will be fewer and fewer beds like this in the future, because there will be fewer and fewer artists who can do this craft, so while there are still people who can do it, please ask the master to make a good one. Zhang Weihao!
When Xiaoxiu was thinking about what kind of carved bed to ask the master to make, the good mother-in-law suddenly stopped and sighed: "Xiaoxiu, I forgot to say something just now. I will change the bed in the morning." When I met the village head, the village head told Xiao Su to go to the brigade tomorrow, and said that he wanted to mark off the land given to him. Last time, he said that he would give him the land in the west of the village. I don’t know if it will be this time It's going to change."

"The land in the west of the village? Isn't that a cemetery? Can good food be grown there?" Xiaoxiu felt chills all over her body when she heard that. She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now she has to believe after this incident.So now Xiaoxiu really feels uncomfortable about that kind of place.

"Tomorrow I will go with Xiao Su, so I can't let him suffer!" The good woman came to a conclusion with a final word.Xiaoxiu also nodded. "Tomorrow, I'll go too. Even if I can't help you, it's good to go and build up the momentum." Xiaoxiu also wanted to follow along. "Understood, Mingchao will call you together."

"Good girl, I'll get a lamp when I go home. Xiaosu's place is not powered on yet, so I still need to light up a lamp at night." After talking, Xiaoxiu ran back to get the lamp.Although the village has already been connected to electricity, the electricity comes for less than one or two hours a day, and kerosene lamps are still used most of the time.This Su family has not been lived in for a long time, and the kerosene lamps are nowhere to be found. Fortunately, Xiaoxiu's family has a spare, so you can bring one of them.

When eating wontons at night, three people get a big bowl for each person. Although the wonton filling is still full of vegetables and little meat, the three of them are still very happy to eat.The good woman pulled Xiao Su to her again, stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Su's face, her heart ached terribly: "Xiao Su, you have been hacked now, I still remember that you were not so black before." Xiao Su saw The good woman kept crying, and she knew that the good woman was hurting him.But Xiaosu couldn't hear what the good woman was saying, so she turned to look at Xiaoxiu.Xiaoxiu rubbed her head, went to the stove to find an unburned bamboo branch, and wrote the meaning of good woman on the ground. Xiaosu understood it, smiled and said nothing.

Early the next morning, Haopo, Xiaoxiu, and Xiaosu went to the brigade.When we arrived at the brigade, the village head was already there. Seeing them, the village head pointed to the chairs in the house and asked them to sit.After sitting down, the village head told Xiao Su about the matter straight to the point.It's just that although he was talking to Xiao Su in name, the village head's attitude was obvious, and he was talking to the good woman about many things.

"Old sister-in-law, look, let's share Xiaosu's land at the east end of the village, then we will share it next to you and Xiaoxiuhe's land, so that you can take care of each other. How about you?" the village chief said. I understand, the good woman is also happy to hear it.Just thinking about it, that piece of land originally belonged to Xiaosi in the village. Xiaosi disappeared last year, leaving only a wife and children at home, but recently there was news that they were planning to remarry, so their land changed to Xiao Su's name is gone.

Everyone in the village knows how the land is divided, and they usually work together on the land, so of course it is clear who owns it.Xiaoxiu also understood: "Village chief, are you from the Xiaosi family?"Although people in the village have been saying that she is going to remarry recently, that's just rumors.

"It belongs to his family. Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. Later, Xiaoxiu, you can take Xiaosu to the land to have a look and identify the land, so that you won't even recognize your own land in the future." The village chief twitched She took a puff of the cigarette, but Xiaoxiu always felt that the village chief was a bit hypocritical after showing off the smoke...has it really been done?The daughter-in-law of the Xiaosi family is really amazing. "Oh, okay, I'll take Xiao Su to recognize the land after the meeting."

When she came out of the brigade after finishing the formalities, the sun had already risen very high. The good woman turned to Xiaoxiu and said, "Now you take Xiaosu to recognize the place. I'll go home and cook. I'll finish watching the place." , you come back for dinner earlier." Xiaoxiu nodded, then pulled Xiaosu's sleeve, signaling Xiaosu to follow her, and Xiaosu followed Xiaoxiu so obediently.

Along the way, Xiaoxiu was talking to Xiaosu about the landmarks on the road.For example, you should turn left at the big tree, and then walk about [-] meters forward to get there.To be honest, this large piece of land is full of land at a glance, and there are really no signs. At the beginning, Xiaoxiu counted them one by one.Now it's so familiar that you can touch it even with your eyes closed.When I arrived at the field today, there was actually nothing to see. The wheat had been harvested long ago, and there were only some straws left in the field. After a few days, I turned some of them, and these straws would be turned into the ground, and then they would become pure The green ground is fertile.Xiaosu has a total of two mu of land, which is connected with Xiaoxiu's family's land.

The sun in the afternoon was very poisonous, Xiao Xiuyuan wanted Xiao Su to come and know the way so that he could go back, but after Xiao Su saw it, he had no intention of going back at all, instead, he walked from the head of the field to the end of the field under the sun, That's not counting, and he squatted on the ground like an old farmer, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, pinched it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.Xiaoxiu laughed when she saw his actions, broke off a willow branch, ran to Xiaosu and said, "Look at your actions like an old farmer who has been farming for decades. Do you really know how to farm?"

Xiao Su's face turned red when she saw it: "Don't laugh at me, I used to farm land in the army, I don't know much, but I know a little bit." Xiaoxiu stopped laughing and took Xiaosu home up.On the way home, I met a bum in the village, and when I saw Xiaoxiu, I stared at him: "Look, who is this." As he said that, he leaned forward to hold Xiaoxiu's hand.

I usually run away when I see this bum Xiaoxiu, such a person is like a piece of brown sugar, we can afford to run away if we can't provoke her.It's just that there is nowhere to escape this time, so I have no choice but to treat him as an invisible person and ignore him.Xiaoxiu pulled Xiaosu past her and walked forward quickly.But the reason why the bum is called the bum is that he has a thick skin. "Xiaoxiu, why did you just leave after seeing my brother, we have to talk, chat!" Xiaoxiu went and he followed, and he didn't give up on holding Xiaoxiu's hand.And he almost got it.Fortunately, Xiao Su was following behind him, one stepped forward quickly, and the other slashed with a knife, at that time the bastard jumped up.

"Who are you, how can you hit someone?" Erlaizi scolded Xiaosu with a crying sound while blowing his hand.Xiaoxiu looked back and smiled when she saw the bum, gave Xiaosu a thumbs up, and pulled him away.The scumbags behind him kept on cursing, but one of the two scolded according to your mood, and the other couldn't hear it at all. Even if you scolded the sky, we still couldn't hear it!
