MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 209

Other communes also expressed their confusion when they heard that the Sujia commune wanted to rush to harvest rice early. On the first day of harvesting the rice, someone brought this matter to the county.

In the early morning, Sujia Village was still sultry and hot, and there was no wind at all. The heavy rice ears drooped their heads and did not move.

Zhuzi and the rice ball went to call Zhao Xianfeng early in the morning and said that they had returned to Sujia Village. Can Xiaoyuer come over to play for a few days.

As a result, Zhao Xianfeng told them: Xiaoyuer went to the capital to find them, and when they got on the train yesterday, he planned to give them a surprise without telling them in advance!

Pillars and rice balls, you look into my eyes, and you don't know what to say for a moment.

The rice ball told him Uncle Zhao, let Xiaoyuer go to Zhuzi's house to find Grandpa Zhang to play for a few days. They have other tasks in the capital, and they will definitely rush back at the end of July.

Zhao Xianfeng had no choice but to do so for the time being.

Zhuzi immediately called the old man and asked him to play with the little fish for a few days.

Several cubs often mention Xiaoyuer, and the old man is no stranger to this little friend who grew up with them. He also joked that a group of grandsons had left and another grandson had come to accompany him, and he was very happy.

After the phone call, Dabao Xiaobao Rice Ball Pillar, the four laborers who can be half an adult, followed the adults into the field to join the rushing army.

The four little ones naturally followed, but they were still young, and they got in the way when they went to the ground, so they were allowed to play with grasshoppers and dragonflies on the ridge next to them.

Li Yufeng and Su Xiaoxiao served as logistics, preparing mung bean soup and sour plum soup at home, and supplying supplies to people working in the fields at any time.

Han Cheng wanted to follow them down the field, but Su Weimin stopped him, saying that his life-saving hands should not be damaged, and if he was cut by a sickle or straw, it would be troublesome, so he just sent him to the drying yard to dry the millet. .

Su Weimin said: "Don't think that the job of drying millet is easy. We can stand in the rice field and get cooler. Roasting on the rice field is the hottest and most tiring job. If you are afraid of hardship, come down."

Han Cheng: "..." He's not stupid. When the drying field is not alive, he will naturally find a place to cool down, and he will not stand on the field all the time to dry. The work also needs people to do it, so I followed a few other people to the drying field.

It was the first time that the rice **** and the pillars stepped on the cold and soft ground, and they thought it was very fun. Cutting rice is not a technical job. Dabao and Xiaobao could learn it after a few teachings, and the cutting was very smooth.

The members joked about Su Weimin and said, "Su Zhishu, each of your grandsons from the cities is more delicate and tender than the other. They are not afraid of getting dirty. They can work quickly, but don't get sunburned."

Su Weimin responded cheerfully: "Our children are not so squeamish."

Li Yufeng gave each of them a bamboo hat to wear, but the white and tender faces of the cubs were still red and tanned. Su Weimin felt distressed when he saw it, but the girl said that reading ten thousand volumes of books is not as good as experiencing it herself, so she could only go to the fields to exercise in person Only after knowing how the rice came to be, can we understand the true meaning of "drops of sweat go to the ground" and "every grain is hard work". If they can't stand it, they will naturally come back.

"Dabao Xiaobao, I picked up a big field snail!" When Rice Ball was a child, Han Cheng took him to pick up stone snails in a small stream in the mountain stream, and followed Su Xiaoxiao to catch the sea snails. This was the first time he picked up The real snail!

The snail, which is thicker than the toes, opened its cover to reveal its whiskers and spitting mud. The rice ball quickly retracted its whiskers when it touched it, and kept digging into the mud, and was caught by the rice ball, which was fun.

Zhu Zi looked at him enviously: "What a big one."

Li Yufeng brought them a few small bamboo cages, which were used to hold things like snails and loaches.

The rice ball listened to Xiaobao's experience, soaked the bamboo cage in water, and then threw the snails into it.

Xiaodoubao also carried a bamboo cage with a lid on his back. Xiaoroubao and Yaobao caught a lot of grasshoppers and packed them in it. They planned to take them back to feed the little hens. As the elder brother of several people, I am afraid that he cannot be cowardly, even if he does not catch him himself, he has to carry it on his back honestly.

Li Yufeng taught Xiaodoubao to weave bamboo dragonflies before. He picked up some reeds, weaved bamboo dragonflies for his younger siblings, and also made a wreath for Xiaotangyuan to wear on his head.

The little cubs who were having a good time in the field ridge heard that their brothers had caught the big snail, and they all wanted to see it.

I haven't even moved yet, and I heard Xiaozhuzi say that he caught an eel. How can Xiaoroubao stay here? Rolling up his trousers, he ran into the field, but he forgot that he was short-legged, and he was still a heavy and fleshy short-legged! The corner of the rice field happened to be a shallow swamp. Xiaoroubao stepped on it with one foot, and the soft mud instantly drowned his thighs. It was the first time he stepped into the field, and he was stunned when he saw himself sinking. , reacted immediately "wow" and cried out for help.

The cubs on the ridge were all frightened, and Xiaotangyuan also cried. Xiaodoubao wanted to jump down to save him, but Su Weimin stopped him: "Don't come down, Xiaodoubao, that corner is a swamp, it will sink." They usually When transplanting rice, we try to avoid that corner as much as possible. We just throw a few pieces of rice on top to fill it up and let it fend for itself. It’s not too deep for adults, but it’s very deep for Xiaoroubao, which everyone didn’t expect. The buns will jump down.

The guy closest to Xiaoroubao hurried over to hold the little guy out, and the dark boy smiled honestly: "Don't be afraid, it's not very deep."

Xiaoroubao was terrified, he pulled him, and said he didn't want to go to the field again, so the young man had to carry Xiaoroubao back to the ridge.

A few big brothers hurried over to see their younger siblings, and Zhuzi kept comforting Xiaotangyuan and saying that it was all right.

Dabao walked over and took Xiaoroubao to the stream to wash his feet: "Xiaoroubao, you must not run around alone in the future," Dabao pointed to the grass not far away, "Do you see the grass over there? The edge is the deepest swamp, even the cattle will be submerged, so you must not run around, you know?"

Dabao also has the ingredients to scare Xiaoroubao. There is a swampy field where rice cannot be grown, but it is not so deep that it will not drown a cow or a person, but it is not scary. Chase the dragonfly or grasshopper over there.

Xiaodoubao was also frightened. He saw that everyone was safe in the field, so he didn't stop Xiaoroubao when he went down. He felt guilty: "Brother Dabao, don't worry. run around."

Dabao said: "Don't worry about Xiaodoubao, it doesn't matter if you are on the ridge, but you can't just leave the field. You should take Xiaoroubao back to change clothes first."

The home is still a little far from the fields here, so Xiaodoubao was worried about taking his younger brother and sister back to Xiaobao, so he said, "I'll take them back."

Dabao thinks about it too. It doesn't matter how old the children in their village are, but after all, the younger brothers and sisters are not familiar with the village, and they may not recognize all the roads, so Xiaobao takes it easy.

The rice ball asked the small glutinous rice **** that Zhuzi was holding: "Xiao tangyuan, do you want to go back to find your grandma and mother, or do you want to stay here to play?"

There were still tears hanging from the eyelashes of the small dumplings. She hugged Zhuzi brother's neck and did not let go. Looking like a poor little one, she said with a flat mouth, "Look for Mama."

Zhuzi said that he was distressed, he straightened the wreath that had fallen on his sister's head and said, "Why don't I take them back."

The rice ball thought for a while, then turned around and walked back to the place where the small meat buns sank just now. He walked down cautiously, holding the field ridge with both hands and said, "You should be afraid. Although this place doesn't eat people, you are still young. , this swamp is very deep for you guys, you see, the deepest place can be no more than your brother's thigh, if no one sees you when you come down, you will be buried in it and can't get out, so you can't run around, over there The swamp is deeper, and my brother dare not go down, you know?"

Hancheng has always taught his children to be in awe in the face of difficulties and dangers.

Seeing that the swamp "doesn't eat people", Xiao Tang Yuan was not so afraid, so he wiped his tears with his little hands and nodded.

Xiaoroubao was almost "eaten", and he has been well protected by his brother. He was not afraid of the earth for the first time, and he also had some insights.

In the end, Zhuzi took his younger brother and sister back, and the three elder brothers continued to cut rice.

Seeing this scene, the members who were robbed all envy and said, "The children of the secretary's family have taught very well."

"No, look good, teach well, big ones learn well and teach small ones, each one is better at reading, not to mention the few children in the city, even the big treasure and the little treasure are the same as the Xiaoxiao back then, taking exams every year. number one."

"Don't look at who Xiaoxiao and Director Han are. Xiaoxiao is the provincial champion and a college student at Capital University. I heard that Director Han is still taking the test. In short, he is better than college students. These children in their family will be in the future. They must be college students.”

"Definitely yes. Director Tian Han, who is so hot, goes to the drying farm to help. Look at the rice **** and the pillars. He is not squeamish at all. He has never complained of suffering in such a dirty and tiring farm work."

…

Su Weimin led the big guys to work in full swing in the field. When the leader from the county came to Lao Su's house to understand the situation, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Yufeng had just prepared the sour plum soup and mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

"Who are you?" Su Xiaoxiao naturally didn't know them.

The county leaders reported to their homes. The two male comrades who came were the director of the office in charge of agriculture and a staff member. Su Xiaoxiao greeted them to sit down, and Li Yufeng poured them two bowls of sour plum soup.

Su Xiaoxiao said hello and said, "My father and the others are busy harvesting rice in the field. Mother, go to the field and call my father back, and tell Director Chen from the county to come and find out the situation."

Director Chen and the clerk looked at each other, and they moved really fast. They only reported it yesterday, and I can't wait to receive the food today, which is really tricky.

Director Chen naturally couldn't sit still, got up and said, "I'll walk with you. I have to ask the big guy to stop and wait a while before harvesting the rice."

Only then did Su Xiaoxiao understand their intentions: "Director Chen, the three generations of my family have been farmers who have been shaving in the fields, and my father also knew that it would be the best time to harvest rice in ten days. It is a combination of various weather anomalies, worrying that the typhoon will arrive early in the past few days, and then I would rather lose the half of the harvest to harvest the 95% of the rice that is already ripe."

Director Chen looked at Su Xiaoxiao calmly: "Are you Su Xiaoxiao who was admitted to Capital University as the provincial champion last year?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "I am."

Director Chen nodded and said, "You are very good at reading, but you don't know anything about the field, right? Or are you majoring in meteorology?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while, she really didn't know anything, she shook her head and said, "I really don't understand the things in the ground, and I don't read the weather."

Director Chen said: "I asked the meteorological experts in the county before I came, and they did not detect any signs that the typhoon would arrive early. Since you are not a meteorologist and don't know anything about the field, it is purely for your own selfishness. Encourage your father to harvest the rice ahead of schedule and make the public suffer losses, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't react for a while, it was simply inexplicable, what is it that she instigated her father to harvest rice in advance for her own selfishness and caused the public to suffer losses? She understands every word, but why doesn't she understand when they are stringed together?
