On the second day, Yuhua went to the ground again, and Qiaozhen began to teach Chengzi to recite the three-character scripture while working in the courtyard, and Shengzi also recited along the way.

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away, if you don't teach, your nature is change. The way to teach is to be specialized." Today, Qiaozhen has taught so much, and Chengzi and Shengzi repeated it.

Chengzi was still very smart, and he could recite word for word in a short while. After a while, when Qiaozhen tested him, he didn't forget and recited it.

Qiaozhen nodded, this kid is not stupid.Shengzi was young and relatively slow, but when it was dark, he could also recite the previous sentence.

In this way, during the autumn harvest days, Qiaozhen has been teaching the two children while working, and she did not let them show off in front of others.Just teaching silently.

Chengzi also goes to the field when he has time, and every time he comes back, he has grasshoppers in his hands, strung with grass, sometimes two, sometimes three or five, and Qiaozhen will roast them for him when he comes back.

Qiaozhen is not afraid, she used to eat these when she was young, and she also likes to catch grasshoppers to eat, so she cooked them for Chengzi and Shengzi to share.

After a few days, the crops are all harvested, and there are only sweet potatoes left in the field. If the sweet potatoes are not harvested yet, they can grow again, and it will not be too late to harvest them in a few days.

Corn, basheng, beans, and sesame are all piled up in the yard.

The Wang family got the sesame seeds first, and the sesame seeds were bundled. Wang Changshun and Dazhong packed up the sesame seeds, holding a bundle in one hand, and then the sesame seeds started to hit and slap hard with their heads down.

The sesame seeds were already dry, and with the impact, the sesame seeds began to fall off. Of course, what came down like this was not clean, there were a lot of sesame leaves and dirty things.

When they finish cleaning the sesame seeds, put the sesame sticks aside. At this time, a meticulous woman needs to check to see if there are any that have not been cleaned. .

The woman began to rub the sesame seeds, then cleaned them with a dustpan, dried them and put them in a bag. This is not edible, and it has to be sold at the meeting or in the town.Sesame oil is a precious thing, it is eaten by wealthy people, and they still count on sesame seeds for some money.

The beans are beaten with a mallet used for laundry, and the beans are not sold. They are used in exchange for bean dregs, and a year's worth of vegetables are basically produced.

After peeling the corn, braid it and hang it on the wall, or peel it off and dry it in the sun before peeling the corn seeds.

Luosheng is picked out, no matter it is plump or blind, it must be picked into a basket, and the full basket is also dumped in the yard to dry.

Qiaozhen looked at Chengzi and Shengzi, and even when sister-in-law Yuhua picked off the shengzi and put them in her mouth, they didn't care that there was a lot of dirt on the shengzi, they picked a few and threw them into their mouths.

Qiaozhen looked at Luosheng, the color of Luosheng at this time was very white, but there was mud on it, some were plump, and some were blisters, she picked up a blister, wiped off the dirt on it, and put it in her mouth, it was so sweet , a kind of glycol naturally comes into the mouth with a sweet taste, so delicious, with the taste of hours.

Qiaozhen sighed contentedly, instead of continuing to eat, she picked up the corn silk and fell into memories.

When she was young, every time after the autumn harvest, she watched her mother peel corn, she would pick up the corn whiskers and stick some saliva on her lips as a beard, and then play the characters in the play, imitating the characters in the play and shouting Call.

Every time my mother always laughs and says she is a crazy girl, now that the corn whiskers are here, but where is my mother?
Qiaozhen forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, she put the corn silk to her lips, and called out to Chengzi and Shengzi: "Chengzi, Shengzi, look at auntie."

When the two saw the corn beard on Qiaozhen's lips, they thought it was fun, and they each started to stick their beards together. There was constant laughter in the courtyard...

All kinds of crops are drying one by one. This is the painstaking effort of the farmers all year round. Every time there is a good harvest, no matter how tired they are, their faces are always happy. Qiaozhen found that the wrinkles on the dark faces of the parents are all smiling Opened, it can be seen how happy they are in their hearts.

Although I am also happy, I still can't understand the feelings of my parents. Her joy for the autumn harvest is too shallow. Maybe it's because I have been here for a short time and I haven't fully integrated into the life of the farm.

But looking at the corn hanging on the front and back of the house, the peppers hanging, and the beans drying in the yard, Qiaozhen felt that her heart was full, and she felt at ease. Maybe she really wanted such a simple tranquility. day.

After everything was tidied up, I started busy planting wheat. First, I plowed the field with a plow. The Wang family had no cattle, so they could only rely on people to pull them. When I came back every night, Dazhong and No. [-] Middle School’s shoulders were all red and swollen. .

Seeing her family being so exhausted, not only the Zhou family felt distressed, but Qiaozhen also felt distressed. This strengthened her determination to make money. After all this busy time, she must find a way to make money.

After the plowing, the field was plowed, and then the wheat was planted. Since Qiaozhen lived in an era where wheat was planted by machines, she did not know how wheat was planted in ancient times.

The machine for growing wheat in this place is made of iron, with holes, and a wooden bucket on top, which also has eyes, and the wheat is filled inside. In order to keep it from falling down like this, you have to follow the right path, otherwise, the wheat will be planted crookedly.

When the wheat was planted, the Wang family breathed a sigh of relief, and there was only sweet potato land left. This was relatively late, and there was little land. It would be enough for one morning, so there was no rush. The reason why the Wang family didn't dig up the sweet potatoes It comes out because you can eat sweet potato stalks for a few more days, and also to make the sweet potatoes grow longer, and to let the sweet potato leaves stay for a longer period of time. When the time comes, the sweet potato stalks and leaves have been subjected to frost. If the sweet potato leaves are used as noodles, will be very tasty.

After these days of busy work, Wang Changshun's birthday is coming up in the blink of an eye. Qiaozhen finished shopping the day before. She cut the meat, bought white noodles, went to the vegetable garden to pick and order vegetables, and prepared to spend a good life for her father the next day. Son.

Yuhua and the others stared at what Qiaozhen bought. White noodles, they haven't eaten them for two years, and they have forgotten what it tastes like.

Qiaozhen looked at the eggs in the egg jar, and there were only 6 eggs left, which was not enough for one person.

Qiaozhen gave San'er money to buy ten eggs from an egg seller in Zhuangzi.

After waiting for a while, Qiaozhen looked outside and frowned. The three of them have been away for a long time, why haven't they come back? Could something have happened?

It wasn't until noon that San'er came back sweating.

"Talk about it, let you buy an egg, and you will grow up in someone's house. If you don't have time to eat, you won't be at home." Zhou scolded her son.

"It's not that I'm afraid of coming back to work. It's reasonable. Don't go crazy outside." Yuhua also interjected.

"Mom, I didn't play. I went to buy eggs, but they have to be talented. If it wasn't for the old leftover, I would have been back long ago." San'er explained.

"What? What are you going to do with the leftover?" Mrs. Zhou asked puzzled, what does buying an egg have to do with others.
