One Piece's Flow is Like Fire

Zhang Yang listened in silence, feeling the warmth from Zeng Dazhuang's words that he hadn't seen in a long time, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

In summer, the sky always brightens very quickly, and after a while it will be bright and the sun will come out.Under the bright morning light, the whole village became lively, and the chimneys behind every house began to smoke, including Zeng Dazhuang's family.

When the smoke went out, the meal was ready.Zeng Dazhuang's family and Zhang Yang all sat around the dining table to eat.There are three green vegetables on the table, which are a bit ugly because there is not much oil.It's just that each dish is served in a big bowl, and the portion is full.

Maybe it was because there was more publicity, so everyone just ate in silence and no one spoke.After Zeng Xiaoniu finished eating a bowl of rice, he went to the pot and filled another bowl.It's just that he's short and slightly comical in a fat women's sackcloth.No matter how the sleeves were rolled, they were dragged a bit, and they were dragged in the pot when they were serving rice.

Zeng Xiaoniu's old mother He Xiaolian saw this, and the two thin eyebrows on her fat face suddenly stood up.Moving his fat body, he grabbed the rice spoon from Zeng Xiaoniu's hand, and reprimanded, "I only know how to cause trouble all day, and I don't know how to help the family. I also got my clothes wet yesterday, which made my mother not feel good. Change your clothes. This hot day is so stinky, you foodie."

Although He Xiaolian reprimanded Zeng Xiaoniu, her eyes were on Zhang Yang.Zhang Yang just picked up the rice silently, Zeng Dazhuang slapped his chopsticks on the table, and shouted to He Xiaolian: "What are you talking about? Xiao Niu also got his clothes wet to save people, not just to play with. Also, today Zhang Yang will go to work in the fields with me, and I will give more when I deliver meals at noon."

Whether it was seeing Zeng Dazhuang getting angry, or hearing that Zhang Yang would go to work in the fields, He Xiaolian stopped talking and went back to the dining table to continue eating.

Zeng Xiaoniu secretly glanced at the old lady's face and saw that the old lady was not really angry with him, so he volunteered and said, "I will deliver food at noon."

He Xiaolian reached out and tapped Zeng Xiaoniu's bald head with a chopstick: "Eat your meal."

After breakfast, the sun is not so vicious.Zhang Yang wore Zeng Dazhuang's bamboo hat, held a newly ground copper hoe in his hand, and hung a pot of water around his waist, and followed Zeng Dazhuang to the field.

Zeng Dazhuang and Zhang Yang first learned about the difference between millet and weeds, and then taught Zhang Yang from the simplest weed.

"When hoeing weeds, you must first look at the millet seedlings and weeds, otherwise the millet seedlings will be hoeed off accidentally. Then hoe the hoe into the soil and hoe the roots of the weeds with force. With a little effort, the weeds will be hoeed up."

Zeng Dazhuang bent down and grabbed the weeds. He pointed to the cut at the root that was cut by a hoe, and said to Zhang Yang: "As long as the root is cut with a hoe, the weeds that were originally tight can be pulled out easily. Come on. try."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang also bent down, looked for a weed, and followed the example of Zeng Dazhuang and hoeed the hoe from the root of the weed. After the hoe broke the root, he pulled it hard, not wanting to bring out a lot of soil, and loosened the seedlings on the side. .

Seeing this, Zeng Dazhuang was in a hurry, stepped on the loose soil at the roots of the millet seedlings, and said to Zhang Yang, "The hoe will be fine after the root is broken. "

After speaking, he demonstrated it to Zhang Yang several times, and Zhang Yang watched it seriously.I experimented a few more times, and soon I was almost as good as Zeng Dazhuang.

Zeng Dazhuang didn't want to be so smart, he learned to weed so quickly.Wiping the sweat on the towel on his shoulders, he said with great joy, "Yes, if you keep going like this, you will soon be able to open a field and grow crops by yourself."

Chapter 855 What the hell is this place?

Zhang Yang smiled and looked up at the lush green millet in the field, thinking, this is not bad.

At noon, the sun became savage, and when Zhang Yang and Zeng Dazhuang drank half a pot of water, Zeng Xiaoniu came over naked and carried the smallest wooden bucket in the family to deliver meals.

There is a forest at the end of the field, which blocks the hot sun overhead and brings a cool breeze.Zhang Yang and Zeng Dazhuang were sitting on the grass under the tree, ready to eat lunch brought by Zeng Xiaoniu.

Zeng Dazhuang took the wooden barrel from Zeng Xiaoniu, and in the wooden barrel were the dishes that were not eaten in the morning and the freshly steamed rice.There are many dishes, and there are two full bowls of rice.

Simple meals, Zhang Yang and Zeng Dazhuang, who had worked all morning, were extremely sweet.

The two quickly finished their meal, and put the tableware and chopsticks into the wooden bucket at will. Zeng Dazhuang tugged at the short jacket that was still stuck to his body with sweat and said to Zhang Yang: "I'll go to lie down for a while, and you will also rest for a while, the sun won't last for a while. Then it's poisonous and then work."

After speaking, he went to the side to find a grass to lie down, and soon started snoring.

Zhang Yang was just about to find a place to lie down, but Zeng Xiaoniu, who had been full of questions for a long time, pulled Zhang Yang to sit down under a tree, and asked curiously, "I heard that you are not from us, brother. What was your place like? I've never been anywhere else."

Zhang Yang lay back, leaned against the tree behind him, looked sideways at the seedlings in the field that were almost to his knees, and said with a slightly different expression: "Where I came from a long time ago, it was the same as here. It's slowly getting bad, with floods and collapsed houses everywhere, and it's uninhabitable."

Zeng Xiaoniu did not expect such an answer, and his face was full of disappointment: "I thought the outside world was better than ours."

Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said, "There are still some things that are better than here. At least people there won't go hungry and don't have no clothes to wear. Moreover, there are cars there that can take people to other places quickly."

Zeng Xiaoniu pouted: "It's not that people can't live, no matter how good it is, it's useless."

Zhang Yang didn't expect Zeng Xiaoniu to be so smart, and said with a smile, "So I'm going to follow your father to learn how to farm, but in the future, I'll be able to grow a piece of land that can feed the entire village."

Zeng Xiaoniu didn't believe it, so he raised his face and said, "My father can't, how can you farm better than my father?"

Zhang Yang looked at the seedlings in the field and said: "You will know later."

Zeng Xiaoniu pursed his lips at Zhang Yang, remembered something again, and said proudly: "I will go to my husband's place to go to school in the fall. The husband said that as long as I study well, I can live in the city in the future, no need Farming again. The husband also said that there are a lot of people in the city, there are a lot of nice clothes, and a lot of delicious food. When I finish my studies, I will take my parents to live in the city."

Zhang Yang looked at Zeng Xiaoniu's face full of longing, thinking that this is a good way to motivate teaching.So he asked, "Then how do you know that you can get these things when you go to the city?"

Zeng Xiaoniu said as a matter of course: "Because I can read by then. There was an old gentleman in my mother's village, just because he knew how to write, people in the village had to ask him for something when they wanted to write. My mother It was him who gave his name. No matter how badly I learn, I will definitely be better than that old gentleman."

Zhang Yang didn't expect to gain such a high status just by being literate.

Zeng Xiaoniu nodded and said, "No one taught me, so of course I can't read."

Zhang Yang is speechless, what is this place?

Zeng Dazhuang woke up, sat up and rubbed the corners of his eyes, looked up at the slightly falling sun, walked over and pushed Zhang Yang, who was sleeping, and said, "It's not hot now, take advantage of the remaining two acres of land before it gets dark. When we're done hoeing, we can go home."

Zhang Yang nodded and stood up, scratched the short hair on his head, picked up the hoe together with Zeng Dazhuang, walked to the position where he had not finished hoeing before, and started hoeing.

With their backs facing the gradually sinking sun, the two made their way to each other.Zhang Yang's movements became more and more proficient, and Zeng Dazhuang was also a veteran of farming. When the sun went down, the two of them hoeed the rest of the land.

Zeng Dazhuang greeted Zhang Yang, hung the empty water bottle on his waist, and carried the bucket hat on the hoe, walking on the fields in the field.

At the end of the small road in the field is the main road, and there are also people from the same village who are walking with hoes.Greeting each other, gossiping and walking leisurely.

There was a particularly burly bearded man who saw Zeng Dazhuang. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Dazhuang, your seedlings are growing the best this year. It's really enviable." He took another look and stood beside Zeng Dazhuang. Zhang Yang said, "Is this boy your relative?"

When Zeng Dazhuang praised the people, his originally dark face became even darker. He smiled and said, "It's good to catch up with the wind and rain this year, and there are no insect pests." He pointed to Zhang Yang and said, "This is a distant relative from my mother-in-law's family. My parents went early, and I have been with my mother-in-law since I was a child, and now they came to my house, just a few days ago." Then he said to Zhang Yang, "Xiao An, this is your uncle Er Xiong, the captain of the hunting team in our village, there are He is good at hunting, and he is also good at farming.”

Zhang Yang looked at Zeng Dazhuang while making up his own life history and smiled honestly, lamenting that Zeng Xiaoniu's quirky temperament was not entirely inherited from He Xiaolian.Then he bowed to Zeng Erxiong with a smile and said, "Uncle Erxiong."

Zeng Erxiong stretched out his big fan-like hand and lifted Zhang Yang up, laughing: "Da Zhuang, your nephew is very sensible, not like my two boys. It's just that this face is very white, you can see it at a glance. What kind of farm work you have done, it will be good to go to the fields more in the future. Xiao An, uncle will always give you some gifts when he worships you. Another day I will make a bow for you. A man, in addition to farming, you must also be able to hunt. Let’s Which man from Zeng Village is not good at hunting! Haha.”

Zhang Yang looked at Zeng Erxiong's sturdy figure like a real bear, thinking that this man is really not easy to be.It's just that the other party said that he wanted to give him a bow, so he still had to thank him, so he bowed again and said, "Thank you, Uncle Erxiong."

After getting to know each other, the three started walking towards the village.
