Chapter 86 Strange

Mid-to-late July is the season when early rice matures every year. Places where two crops of rice are planted are often plowed immediately after the early rice is harvested, and then the late rice is planted in a hurry. This process is called "Double grab", double grab, the grab is time.

It was also the hottest period of summer in the year. Fangxian County has many mountains and trees and a cool climate. Compared with other plain areas, early rice was harvested a few days later and did not start harvesting until late in the year.

For three or four days in a row, the weather has been perfect. Villagers cutting rice, plowing fields, and transplanting rice seedlings can be seen everywhere in the farmland. The threshers and small harvesters keep rumbling, accompanied by people’s The laughter spread far and wide.

At the end of June and the beginning of July, the whole country suffered from floods. Dozens of counties and cities were affected to varying degrees. Many crops were flooded and no harvests were harvested. Those crops that escaped the floods also suffered a large reduction in production. Fang County Only a small number of crops near mountains and rivers were ravaged by floods, and it was basically a bumper harvest.

The harvest after the flood is undoubtedly a joy. Even if the continuous heavy rain caused the seedlings and corn to fall down and the yield was reduced, at least more than 70% of the harvest is still available. harvest.

It was already mid-afternoon when Le Yun returned to Jiudao Township. In the villages she passed along the way, rice was drying on the roads everywhere, and the yellow millet was like gold sprinkled all over the ground.

Millet is also drying on the village road in Meizijing Village. The road is only wide enough for traffic. Le Xiaoxiao is carrying a backpack and riding his bicycle straight towards home. The bicycle is on the front basket. and bulging plastic bags stuffed into the rear rack.

She was afraid of meeting people on the road. If there was nothing in the car, she would take out some things when she came back. If someone said something and noticed something strange, she would not be able to explain it clearly. , so first take out some things from the space and pack them into the car and bags.

Most of the villagers went to the fields to harvest rice. Only the elderly or young children were at home. They didn’t meet many adults along the way and they arrived home soon.

The small ground outside Lejia’s house is also covered with a layer of golden rice, reflecting the sun and shining brightly.

"Has Uncle Zhou's family harvested rice?" Le Yun muttered softly. She remembered that the early rice planted by Zhou's family this year was a new variety, and the cycle was three days later than before. She estimated that it would be 29 It took a few days to harvest.

The Zhou family cultivates Lejia's fields. In the past, the school was on holiday every year during the double harvest season. She went to the Zhou family every year to help cut rice and plant fields. This time she went to the mountains to plan for a good time. It was expected that there would be Just enough time to get back and help.

The ground was dry and could only allow people to pass by. Leyun parked the car on the cement hardened road outside and was about to move the car when she heard a happy "beep" sound and turned to look. Then I saw the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family who lived next to the Zhou family, whose son was the same age as her father, driving a threesome.The wheel cart transporting grain is back.

The son of the Cheng family is about the same age as Brother Zhou, and his name is Cheng Youde. He has a good relationship with the Le family of the Zhou family. The daughter-in-law of the Cheng family is named Liu, and Le Yun calls her Aunt Liu, or Aunt Liu. When she sees She stabilized the car and shouted: "Aunt Liu, congratulations on the great harvest."

"Hey, Lele, are you finally willing to get out of the old forest and go home?" Sister-in-law Liu saw the Le family. The girl suddenly burst into laughter. Xiao Lele had been in Maoshan for more than twenty days and was still white and tender, making people jealous.

"Hmm, I miss my dad and my aunts, so I'm back, Aunt Liu, long time no see, have you missed me?"

"You're just sweet-tongued , I know how to coax people." Sister-in-law Liu was so amused that she almost laughed out loud. She drove the car next to Lele's house and stopped briefly: "Lele, the millet in front of your house belongs to me. It's just a good time for you to come back. I'll help you look through it later. Let it dry for a while, then harvest it in the evening and put it into the warehouse."

"Hey, the millet belongs to Aunt Liu's family, I thought it came from Uncle Zhou's family."

" The Zhou family will start harvesting rice tomorrow. Brothers and sisters Zhou Qiufeng will help our family cut the grain today. We will finish the harvest tomorrow and help the Zhou family harvest the grain the day after tomorrow."

It is normal for people to exchange jobs with each other in the countryside. , whose rice matures late, first go to help the family who harvested it earlier, and then help the family who harvested the rice first, and then help the family who harvested the rice later. Everyone exchanges work, and there are more hands, so the work can be done faster.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, don't leave yet. I'll give you something and you can take it back." Le Yun responded, and when she saw Aunt Liu trying to accelerator again, she hurriedly called to stop. she.

Sister-in-law Liu released the accelerator pedal again and looked at the little girl from the Le family. When she saw the big and small bags tied to her car, she couldn't help but sweat. Was Lele's entry into the mountain a robbery?

Leyun quickly ran to the garden fence, took a plastic bag from the fence that someone had hung for drying, went to the bicycle, opened a bag, took out a bunch of fungi, put it in, and took To Aunt Liu: "This is a side dish for Grandpa Cheng Wu and you."

"Is this a turkey tail mushroom?" Aunt Liu looked at what the girl from the Le family handed over in surprise, and then Pushing the bag back: "Tomorrow, the 29th, street day, you can take it to the street to sell it. This is expensive."

"This is for Grandpa Cheng Wu to eat. Aunt Liu will just take it and go home. It needs to be taken out for ventilation, otherwise it may become stuffy."

"...Okay." After thinking about it, Sister-in-law Liu didn't forcefully push it back. The Lejia girl has been very good to the elderly since she was a child. She is the favorite child of several elderly people nearby.

Seeing Aunt Liu driving back, Le Yun picked up her bicycle and went home to the door. When she took out the key and opened the door, she was stunned. There was a pair of happy words posted on the door!

Why do you post the words "happy" properly?

QuestionQuestion mark, question mark, there were only question marks in her mind. She didn't need to do that if she won the top prize. Besides, she didn't put the word "happy" on it in the first few days when the college entrance examination results came out, and there was no need for it later.

Full of questions, I opened the door. The house was clean and tidy, with happy words posted on every door. The old TV in the main room was gone, replaced by a large color TV. There is also an extra long wooden sofa chair.

!

Le Yun was confused and completely confused. Her father was a frugal man who would never spend money lavishly, let alone buy things that were worthless. There is no furniture. Where did these come from?

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t come up with a reason. I took the car home, opened the door to my room, unpacked my backpack, and quickly went about my own business, cleared out the contents of the backpack, and packed it. Hang the bag on a nail on the wall to let it air dry, then go to the second floor to get a bamboo sieve, pour out some medicinal materials for ventilation, pour some fungi into the sieve, and ventilate the main room first.

It’s time to put out what needs to be poured out. She takes a bag of cucumbers and tomatoes to the refrigerator room. She sold some melons and vegetables last time, and she planted some more. There is a lot of stock, and she also has some in the mountains this time. Enough of an excuse, so whipped out a big bag of tomatoes and cucumbers.

She carried her things to the back room where the refrigerator was kept. The room was neat and tidy. She looked for a basket to put tomatoes and cucumbers in. Le Yun opened the refrigerator and found that it was full of chicken, duck, and meat. Pork, eggs...

Ouch!

Seeing the inventory in a refrigerator, Classmate Le’s face turned into dough. Her refrigerator usually only stocked bacon, and it was rarely full. The current situation was completely different from before. .

Her father is used to being frugal, so it is impossible for him to have so much inventory. Could it be that relatives are here?

Relatives? However, in terms of relatives, their family only has the great-grandmother and her natal family. The great-grandmother’s maiden name is Hu and she is from a neighboring village. The Hu family has only two daughters. The eldest daughter has a son-in-law, and the second daughter is her great-grandmother. When my grandfather and great-grandmother were still alive, the Hu family moved to the provincial capital. At first, they were still in love. Later, when my great-grandmother’s parents passed away, the relationship between the sisters became weak, and they broke off after repeated visits;

Grandma’s natal family is the Chen family in this village, and they are related by marriage to Zhang Jing’s father’s bloodline. The Chen family and the Le family were closely related when her grandparents were still alive. However, because her father’s leg was broken, they also had a relationship. They had a falling out over money and have no contact so far.

Therefore, it can be said that the Le family has no relatives.

If they were friends, it was not very likely. Most of the friends her father had in the past were pig friends and dog friends who could not share the same joys and sorrows. Ever since his father injured his leg, the friends were almost the same. Strange road.

When she has no relatives or friends to visit, who would send her home so much?Many things?

If someone is so generous, it’s only my father’s boss. If Boss Wu really comes to the house and buys meat, it’s understandable, but what about the new furniture at home?

Wondering, Le Yun was extremely depressed. She closed the refrigerator door and rushed to turn over the grain for Sister Liu. After finishing her work, she packed up her clothes and went into the kitchen to heat hot water. She found that there was steam coming from the fire pit. There was a fine smoke, and there was a pot of boiling water on the pot stand. When you opened it, you saw that the water was warm.

Strange!

It’s so strange.

Full of strange music, I looked around in the kitchen, here and there, here and here, but still didn’t have any clue, so I had to bring my own bath bucket and basin and put some warm water in it. She went to the bathroom behind the house to take a bath. Her aunt had just passed by and she didn't dare to take cold water. She didn't dare to take cold water for several days in the mountains. She could only wipe it with a towel. Although there was no smell, she felt uncomfortable.

I washed myself from head to toe and put on a short-sleeved T-shirt and cropped pants again. I felt very light and refreshed.

She straightened herself up, threw her things aside, and ran to the pig pen room. She just heard the quacking of piglets and ducks, and she had to go and see what was going on. She opened the door and entered the pig house. In the cowshed, you can see a group of chickens and a few ducks squatting lazily on the ground. There is a plastic basin filled with water and a trough for food on one side of the wall. There are two piglets in the pig pen.

It has chicken, duck and pig, giving it a farmhouse feel.

Le Yun was even more confused this time, what on earth is going on? She just went to the mountains for a trip, why did she look so different when she came back home?

I can’t figure it out, really, you said, I just went out for twenty days, why did there be such a drastic change?

Full of tangles, Le Yun closed the door of the cowshed, took the clothes to wash in the water press well, washed the clothes and took them upstairs to dry, then went downstairs to carry a few bamboo sieves upstairs. Herbs and fungi also need to be dried in the sun, otherwise they will go bad easily.

After drying the things, I took out some washed polygonatum and rehmannia glutinosa from the space and put them upstairs to dry out the moisture. Then I went downstairs and sat down to wash the fungi. I cleaned out a few cloud mushrooms and found them empty. Her brain suddenly shook, and she looked up at home. That couldn't be what she thought, right?

My dear children, I am going back to my hometown in the countryside to spend the New Year with my parents today. I will not return until around the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. I miss you all, and I miss you too. Ah, I would like to wish you all a happy New Year, all the best, everything will go well in the new year, and everyone will prosper!
