Born to Run

Chapter 16: National Day holiday

   October golden autumn.

   Xiushui County is a large grain-producing county, especially rice. The northern part of the county is adjacent to the large paddy fields on both sides of the county road, and it is already golden at this time. The golden ears of rice fell down, and when the wind blew, they swayed like a golden wave.

   Yan Ning took the towel hung around her neck and wiped the sweat off her head. Standing on the side of the road, watching the busy people in the rice field, she felt relaxed physically and mentally.

   Although I have retired for two years, the habit of morning running has been maintained.

   In Xiushui County, whether it is the playground of the second middle school or the county stadium, the feeling of running in the morning is not better than the joy of coming along the large rice fields and countryside, smelling the faint grass and woods in the air, it is almost intoxicating.

After retiring, she entered the Normal University. She majored in physical education. She has an understanding of exercise morphology and exercise physiology. The human body is like a sophisticated machine. If you don’t use it frequently, it will only become more and more dusty. Degradation of rust.

   She now clearly feels that her performance is much worse than before. There is no competition pressure, and her life is stable and comfortable, which inevitably makes people slack a lot.

   It’s just that this is really good too!

Compared to many teammates at that time, the path she chose after retiring was the smoothest of all. The athletes still have to return to real life after they have passed the golden age. It's just that... the family is here again. Nagging about blind dates made her a little irritable.

   "The holiday is over!"

   Yan Ning let out a sigh of relief, throwing aside the recent rumors of his parents, thinking that the school sports meeting should be held a few days after the start of school.

   Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has few teachers. As a physical education teacher, she will definitely be a referee in the next school sports meeting, and she will be busy.

   gurgle gurgle——

   The sound of mechanical rotation suddenly sounded.

Yan Ning looked in the direction from which the figure came. In the middle of the rice field not far away, a large yellow paddy ear had been cut down with a sickle. A huge square wooden barrel was placed in the rice field, and the sound of the threshing machine was heard far away. Came out.

   The late rice matures at about this time. Although it is almost 8 o'clock in the morning, there are more and more busy people in the rice fields, and the harvest is busy.

   Yan Ning walked back slowly along the side of the road. After running for a few kilometers, it was time to walk slowly to relax his muscles and calm his breathing.

   looked all the way at the busy people in the rice fields on both sides. She used to work hard at this time when she was young. Now although the family has changed the resident registration, as long as she looks at it, she can’t help but feel a little kind.

   Yan Ning is looking all the way, watching the busy crowd, many people actually know her, after all, a person who often wakes up early and runs in the countryside, especially a woman, can still attract people's attention at this time.

"what?!"

   was walking slowly, Yan Ning suddenly stopped, and he saw a familiar figure in the rice field of someone she still knew.

   "This is... Ye Qin?!"

   Yan Ning was slightly puzzled for a while, and there was a different kind of emotion in her heart. Standing in the distance, watching the busyness of others, did not go up to talk, but silently glanced at it, followed by quietly walking away.

  ……

   "Yep Chin, are you tired? You can rest and change me!"

   Zhang Jiadong straightened his slightly sore waist, looked at the boy who was stepping on the threshing machine, and shouted with a smile.

"No need, Uncle Zhang." Ye Qin threw a handful of straw that had been cleaned on the threshing machine to the side of the grain bucket, smiled back and responded, and then grabbed a handful and piled it up. The well-coded rice in front of you will continue the threshing work.

   "Yep Chin, you should change your Uncle Zhang, you are too hard."

   was holding Zhang Jiadong's wife, who had practiced bending over and cutting rice, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and also shouted.

"No need, auntie, I'm not tired. I used to help people at home to do this." Ye Qin threw a handful of rice in his hand quickly while stepping on the threshing machine, and threw it to the nearby straw. He replied again.

   "You kid really...!"

   Zhang Jiadong shook his head, and looked at each other with his wife next to him, feeling a little for a while.

   Yesterday, the two couples were busy working in the farmland. They saw a dark-skinned teenager. They were asking if anyone needed help. They could cut rice or step on a threshing machine. A meal at noon is 30 yuan a day for half-manual work.

   Zhang Jiadong was just looking interesting on the side of the road at the time, and he casually came up with a sentence that he would not do it in twenty-five a day. Unexpectedly, the young man rolled up his trousers and went down to the fields.

   This can make Zhang Jiadong panic. He is usually a joke, but he didn't expect this boy to take it seriously. Both he and his wife couldn't stop them, so they picked up the sickle and started cutting rice.

To tell the truth, it’s common to invite people to hire half-size children like this, and it’s not his generation in the early years. Today’s young people do less work and may seem to have a little energy, but they all It's not long, and the farm work is usually like two or three strokes, and then it wilts in the back.

   The boy in his early twenties who has gone out to work cannot stay in the fields for a few minutes since he was a child. Don’t just shout tired, dirty, backaches, etc. for a while.

   But this young man can really endure hardship, he is not afraid of tiredness, and he does a good job, no worse than an adult. Cutting rice is more efficient than he and his wife, and will not throw away the grain, and the cut rice yards are all neatly laid out.

   threshing on the threshing machine is even better than his forty-something adult. The buzzing threshing machine has never slowed down, and the rice cut by the two couples is not enough for him to beat it alone.

   This is a really capable guy!

   Moreover, after learning about the situation later, the two couples realized that this young man was not doing small jobs outside, but a high school student, who wanted to earn some living expenses during the National Day holiday.

   This made Zhang Jiadong and his wife even more distressed. Thinking about the kid who works outside, did he call back and ask for money? It really feels that people are incomparable.

"Wait for you to go back early and cook two more dishes. I called Ye Qin to have a meal at home. I was reckless and didn't have time to make a few dishes at noon." Zhang Jiadong walked to his wife and said in a low voice. .

His daughter-in-law gave him a blank look, and her voice was also very low, "I want you to say, I'll talk to Lao Xie who sells meat, and help me save a kilo of pork belly. I want to say, look at this kid’s agile energy, You have to pay him a good salary."

   "That's it." Zhang Jiadong smiled and nodded, "I'll help him with the calculation."

   Both husband and wife are real people. Although they didn't think about asking for help at the beginning, they found that after Ye Chin was added, the progress far exceeded expectations, and they didn't stingy with such a hundred dollars.

   Although I don’t know much about the inside and outside of the words, there are some things that everyone is here, UU reading www. uukanshu.com can also think of it.

   Ye Qin didn't know what Zhang Jiadong and his wife were discussing at this time, but he still worked very hard.

   He originally wanted to go home during the National Day holiday. It has been almost a month since the beginning of school. It would be nice to go home and see his grandparents, but after thinking about it later, he still didn't go back.

Although it was a busy season for farming, because my uncle went to work, there were only two elderly people at home, grandparents and grandparents. The land was contracted to someone else to grow the land. He had nothing to do after catching loach and picking snails, so he simply looked around the county town. To find out if someone wants to work temporarily, how much they can earn some living expenses.

If it is in a big city, maybe he can still find some temporary jobs to do, but the county seat of Xiushui County is very small and the economy is sluggish. It is not easy to find a restaurant to serve dishes to people and do sanitary work. It takes a long time or Skilled talents.

   Later, Ye Qin thought for a while, and he went straight out of the city to see if he could find rice for others at this time.

He also asked a lot of people along the way. Most people saw that he basically didn’t want him. Generally, even if they wanted to hire someone, they would have done well in advance, or they would help each other in their hometowns, until they met Zhang Jiadong joking with him in the field. Without thinking about it, he agreed. And when Zhang Jiadong and his wife discouraged him, he also stayed cheeky.

   Where there are few opportunities, he knew early on that strength was not worth money, and that he could earn a little.

   However, he still doesn't dare to tell his family about these things. With his grandfather's temperament, he can go to school well. If he goes out to work on weekends and holidays, he will probably be unhappy!

   Fortunately, there are not many opportunities like this. School will start tomorrow. Even if there are weekends later, the time is short, coupled with the pressure of high school study, it is not easy to find time.
