Gateway to Happiness

Lu's family is located in the easternmost part of the village. Behind the mountain, there are mountain springs converging into streams, passing through the backyard. It's convenient to place water mills, grind soybeans and make tofu. The nearest sister-in-law Li's house is 50-60 meters away. So the courtyard of the house is very spacious. At this time, four square flat bamboo mats are spread out in the flat yard, and the rice collected is put on the top to be spread in the sun.

This year's harvest is excellent. After the rice is dried in the sun, some restaurants in the town will buy it. Every year, the Lu family only keeps about 2000 kilograms of rice for themselves to eat, and all the rest is sold for money.

It's a pity that the land in this area is not suitable for growing soybeans. Miao Cuilan tried for a year, and made tofu and beancurd with her own soybeans, the taste and color of which were not as good as those bought, so she had to give up the idea of planting soybeans in some rice fields.

This is the last day of harvest. When Lu Zhong came back in the evening, he took a small ball of paddy soil which was bigger than the mouth of a rice bowl.

When the three children saw their father, they all cried and rushed forward. Lu Xiaoshu looked up at the mud ball in his father's hand and asked, "Dad, what is this?" She can't help but secretly say strange, the heart of the father returned to his old age? One's childish disposition remains. Is this a little ball to burn for their sisters? Er, is it forbidden to kick a ball made of clay

"I know, I know!" Lu Qi's eyes were shining, and his eyes were flashing and jumping and saying, "there are loaches in it! Dad has come back with loach

"Where! I want to see it too! " Lu Xiaoshu is curious and stands on tiptoe to break Lu Zhong's hand.

When Xiaoxue heard her yelling, she also yelled "want to see!"

Lu Zhong said with a smile, "good" and told Lu Qi, "take the basin and hit half a basin of water!"

Lu Qi likes to do this kind of thing best. She says "good" in a crisp voice and goes happily. After a while, she carries a tin basin and fills half a basin of water. She comes unsteadily. She puts the water basin on the ground and says politely, "Dad, the water is coming!"

Lu Zhong squatted down. The three dolls also squatted down one by one. The father, son, father and daughter surrounded the basin in the middle. It was very interesting to see from a distance.

Lu Zhong broke off the loach in his hand, took out a loach from the inside and put it into the basin. Lu Xiaoshu suddenly realized that there were a lot of loaches in the rice field. His father caught them in the field for a while, and there was nothing to hold around him. Loach has the characteristics of drilling in the mud, so his father used this loach as a tool to hold loach.

"Dad, I'll come, I'll come!" Lu Qi reached out his hand and asked for half a ball of clay from his father.

Lu Zhong handed it to him, and Lu Xiaoshu was also amused. "I want it too!" he said

"Be careful, don't get mud on your clothes. Be careful your mother scolds you." Lu Zhong has always loved her children. Seeing that she is curious and wants to play, Lu Zhong gives it to her and asks Xiaoxue, "do you want it?"

Snow a pair of small white hands holding chin, see a loach from the mud out of the water, happy straight smile, heard his father asked himself, looked at the dirty mud, and then looked at his little hands, shaking his head said, "no, afraid of dirty."

Lu Zhong laughed and let her go.

Lu Qi and Lu Xiaoshu, no matter what was dirty or not, had a great time playing with each other until they pulled out all the loaches and put them in the pot.

Lu Qi put out his hand to stir in the basin, raised his head and said, "Dad, I also want to catch loach in the field. Can you take us there?"

"Good, good, Dad, I want to go too, I want to go too!" Lu Xiaoshu cheered and couldn't wait.

Lu Xiaoxue looked at her brother, and then at her younger sister. She said in a coquettish voice, "I'll go, too. I'll be next to you and watch it."

Lu Zhong was a little funny and said with a smile: "little girl, how old are you? You are so naughty with your brother. How clean your sister is."

"Dad, Dad, I'm very careful, and I'm clean! Take us Lu Xiaoshu is busy.

Lu Qi see two younger sister sajiao, quickly help, brother and sister two mouth a "father" grinding.

"I said you guys are in a meeting. What the hell is going on? The chickens are coming in to eat the millet, and they don't rush them for me!" Miao Cuilan came out of the house, and saw Ye four squatting on the ground in a circle. She could not help but be angry and funny.

Lu Zhong asked his children to get up with a smile and took the water basin and said, "play in the yard and watch the millet. Don't let the chicken steal the millet. My father will change the water to keep the loach and fry it for you in the evening."

Lu Xiaoshu and other elated agreed, and then moved a small bench to sit under the porch eaves, waving a long bamboo pole tied with a few strands of broken cloth to drive the chicken.

Lu Zhong couldn't resist a few small guys. After two days, when the family was not so busy, he took a bucket and a small shovel to dig loach in the rice field.

The mud in the field where rice has just been harvested is still very wet, and the stalks are almost half a foot long.

At the edge of the field, Xiaoxue looks down at her embroidered shoes. Standing on the ridge of the field, she refuses to go any further. Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Qi can't wait to take off their shoes and socks. They pull up their pants and throw their feet. They step on the field. The silver rich soil is wet and soft, and they both giggle.

As soon as I was in the field, the problem came again. Lu Zhong only took a shovel with him. After stepping on the mud for a while, his brother and sister suddenly realized the situation and snatched them. This one says, "give it to me." The one said, "I'll do it!" Neither of them would let go of the shovel."Brother bad!" Lu Xiaoshu small arm crus where is Lu Qi's opponent? But such a funny thing, she had never played in her previous life. When she saw that she had to play, where would she give up? The little mouth curled up to cry.

Lu Zhong couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw that her little Douding villain had been robbed by her brother. He was more in love with his daughter, so he coughed and showed his father's love: "ah Qi, how can you teach you, how can you bully your sister

"That's it Seeing his father standing on his side, Lu Xiaoshu was very happy and grabbed the shovel.

Lu Qi had to murmur twice and let go, feeling depressed. It's not good to study in school. It's so boring every day. There are many reasons for my parents to teach me

Lu Xiaoshu took the shovel and began to bend over and dig the mud happily. Xiaoxue stood on the ridge of the field, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his neck, looked at it eagerly, and cried, "Er Mei, er Mei, have you, have you?"

Where can Lu Xiaoshu say no? Then he nodded his head and said, "yes, there is! I'll show you later! "

Cause Lu Qi "giggle" a smile, she then toward him doodle mouth, continue to work hard.

"Dear daughter, loach is not your digging method," Lu Zhong said with a smile. The harvested rice leaves about half a foot of rhizome, so he grabs it and pulls out a stubble of mud, revealing a big pit. Xiaoshu points to Xiaoshu and says with a smile: "look at the place with holes, there are loaches at the bottom. You can dig down there and have a look."

"Well, Dad Lu Xiaoshu got the instruction, and immediately nodded with a smile, waving a small shovel toward the loach hole.

Lu Qi saw in the side, also have a kind of learning to pull up a stubble of grass roots, see a loach hole, also do not need what small shovel, directly with the finger to dig. There was no water in the field, but the soil was very soft, which did not affect his five claw skill.

"Wow, what a big loach! Dad, look at me After a while, Lu Qi yelled with excitement.

Lu Xiaoshu also looked at him. Sure enough, a big loach was wriggling around on his muddy hands. Seeing his brother grinning at him like a demonstration, Lu Xiaoshu was depressed. In addition, light snow clapped her hands on the ridge and called, "see, see, brother is really fierce!" Lu Xiaoshu was even more depressed.

"Dad gave you this, I don't want this, I also want to use my hands!" Lu Xiaoshu in the end is small strength, small shovel in hand can barely wave a few times, and then the follow-up is powerless. She put the spade into her father's hand, staggered to her brother's side, and said with a smile, "brother, brother, I'll help you!"

"You will make trouble!" Lu Qi didn't have a good airway. He snorted a little, and obviously cared about what happened just now.

Lu Xiaoshu is very conscious of his family. Where does he put his brother's face in his eyes? Then smile to pull his clothes, left a brother right a brother's coquetry. Lu Qi saw that she was smiling and flattering, and her anger was gone, so the adults didn't remember the villain, and divided a loach hole for her, and her brother and sister took out the loach hole happily.

"Be careful, you'll dirty your clothes and go back to be scolded." Seeing Lu Zhong shaking his head and smiling, he let them play here and went to the canal in the sky.

Lu Qi and Lu Xiaoshu agreed two times in a hurry, and they were excited to work and set off one crop after another. In ancient times, the ecological environment was good, and the farming fields used farm manure, plant ash, and no pesticide or chemical fertilizer. Therefore, the loach in the rice field could live freely without any harm. There are many loaches. Lifting a stubble of grass roots will not do useless work, some even have several loach holes under it.

Of course, some loach drill deeper, and the two guys dig in the whole small hands, but most of them can't make the master out of the cave. Or some of them escape faster, and they immediately drill down when they see the movement, and they get deeper and deeper and escape the disaster. But on the whole, the harvest is quite abundant.

In some places, the soil is a little tight, and the roots of the grass are naturally strong. Lu Qi can't pull them out even though they are like radishes. Lu Xiaoshu also helps to pull them out.

The two brothers and sisters are also stupid. The rice field is full of grass roots, but they will not pull out the stubble. As a result, they try several times and finally pull out the stubble, but they can't stop. They sit back together and wrap up a lot of wet mud. The two looked at each other, but the snow on the ridge couldn't help laughing.
