  "The scales are one dozen and twenty-three, and the small classmates will come out. Don’t make it difficult for the famous undergraduate schools, and the emperor of Huaqing is also easy to climb." Si said while playing the scales from the inside to the outside.

  "Little students, study hard!" The people nearby roared.

  Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, the people of Si Cheng carried the scale and photographed a long line in front of him, winding to the depths of the village without seeing the end of the line.

  Some of the old men in the team took a plastic chair and took a seat, and a big pu fan fanned the wind leisurely.

   "Boy, Nye (you) won't you sit down and rest for a while? It's going to be a while!"

  While talking, the old man pulled out another chair from under the chair he was sitting on, "Hey, take a rest."

   Looking around, although there are many people in this team, there are no young men and women. Some are migrant workers who want better conditions for their children, and more people are working hard in the fields.

  Now is the time when the vegetation stands upright and grows vigorously. The farmers working in the fields are sweating like rain, and even if they are exhausted, they do not show any sluggishness.

   "The mother-in-law (wife), Mum (daughter) has almost finished the scale over there, making some lunch, Nai (you) also rest." As the farmer said, he still bends over and removes the weeds in the ground.

"good."

   "Nah (you) also prepare some three new things."

   "Okay! Nai (you) came back early, with Nan (daughter)."

  The farmer continued to work on weeding. Kyushu and Lixia stood watching from the clouds. Kyushu couldn’t help feeling a little distressed for the farmer, so he wanted to put some rain on Lixia to relieve the heat that even the wind carried.

   "No." Seeing Meng Jiuzhou's purpose, Lixia refused without hesitation.

   "Brother Lixia, why?" Meng Jiuzhou asked.

   Lixia's expression became a little distressed, she frowned, and still answered Meng Jiuzhou’s question, “A long, long time ago, I also pity them sweating like rain.”

   "I waved the clouds and rained, and the sudden drop in temperature and thunder shock made the farmer cold."

   "It was hundreds of thousands of years ago, and even a small cold and cold can kill people."

   "The farmer has been sick for more than half a year, repeatedly, and finally can't even get to the ground!"

   Lixia recalled that these were obviously very painful, and she did not want to mention it again, “I am sorry that family member, my negligence caused the tragic fate of that family member.”

"Feel sorry……"

   "It's nothing, I can still call three or five clouds to cover the farmer's shade." As he said, Lixia pulled a few clouds away and blocked the sun.

The farmer in the field raised his head, as if his gaze penetrated the clouds and saw Meng Jiuzhou and Lixia who helped him cover the shade. It also seemed that the farmers were thankful for those clouds because of the simplicity of the sky, and the farmer was facing the sky. Looking at the clouds in the sky, he smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.

   After helping the farmer, Meng Jiuzhou smiled happily, and Lixia was no longer immersed in the somewhat depressed emotions just now, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, a little proud.

  The farmer also returned home soon, and the farmer’s wife had just prepared green plums, cherries and wheat, and waited for the farmer to come back to worship their ancestors.

   "Father, it was picked from the mountain by the neighbor's uncle. Will we have something to go back then?" It was the farmer's child who spoke a little native accent, but spoke standard Mandarin.

   "Okay! Send some cherries over, remember that he doesn't plant them."

   Immediately, the family began to worship the ancestors with three new ancestors. After the ancestor worship, they divided their food, which is considered to have inherited the blessings given by the ancestors.

Kyushu and Lixia have been watching in mid-air. Kyushu admires the intimacy of the people in the village. It is different from the tall towers in big cities. Although people look up and see, they still don’t communicate with each other, even a name and phone number. Unknown situation.

  Night gradually fell, the wind was still warm and there was no chill at all, Lixia made a soft bed with clouds, Kyushu leaned on it and fell asleep with the sound of insects within two minutes.
