At dusk, Xu Ning helped Qin Xuejuan make dinner in the kitchen.

The weather in the wheat harvest season is relatively cool in the morning and evening, and it is very hot at noon, especially when bending down and waving the sickle in the wheat field, the sweat is falling down, the whole body is wet, and the sun above the head is scorching. The sun makes people dizzy, the most difficult.

"I'm back." Xu Jianjun's hearty voice came in, and then he went to the kitchen, holding a few blue patterns in his hand, "I bought it for your wife."

He handed over what was in his hand, and Xu Ning glanced intently, then smiled suddenly: "Ice cream?"

"Little greedy cat." Looking at the little excited look of his daughter, Xu Jianjun stuffed two ice cream into her hands, "You and your mother share one."

"Thank you, Dad." Xu Ning took it and handed one to Qin Xuejuan who was cutting vegetables. "Mom, cut it later, don't change it."

Qin Xuejuan touched the ice-cold ice cream, and felt that the heat in the kitchen subsided a lot. "Just bought these few ice creams?"

"There is nothing else to buy." Xu Jianjun went to the window and gave the old lady one, and then came back and said: "It is better to buy more when you are harvesting wheat, and put it in the refrigerator at Uncle Jiang's house. It's so hot."

"I think it's pretty good. This year, I won't use it for the tossing cooking. Let Ningning do it. Xiaozheng will come back to help her bring her to the wheat field near noon."

Xu Jianjun sighed suddenly, shook his head and said, "Hey, our girls can cook now, and they grew up unconsciously. What's wrong with me suddenly feeling quite uncomfortable?"

Qin Xuejuan was almost amused by her husband's appearance and bent over, "You, what nonsense."

"Don't really take it seriously, I feel that our girl will discuss marriage in a few years, think about it yesterday was a little girl who acted like a baby in my arms." It seems that I was really lonely by myself. , Xu Jianjun turned around and shook his head and walked out, "I'm going to deliver ice cream to Xiaozheng."

This is the relationship between the two families now. If you have something delicious in your family, you will think of me. If there is something delicious in my family, you will not forget you, the neighbors and villagers, that's how they get along.

Unlike those in the city who live in high-rise buildings, many people do not know whether your neighbor is a man or a woman, and the relationship between the neighbors is unusually indifferent.

In a blink of an eye, Xia Chan's voice became even more hoarse, and the temperature was getting higher day by day, and the atmosphere in the village was about the same as this temperature, and it became more and more hot and surging.

In the store, the thresher kept roaring day and night, walking out of the house, everyone’s face was filled with unconcealable joy, this is the happiness of harvest, and the harvest this year is obviously very good, at least it can Eat it in a different way.

On the third day of the wheat vacation, the Xu family and the Jiang family also began to harvest wheat.

Before dawn in the early morning, Xu Ning heard the clanging noise outside. After being awakened, she couldn't fall asleep again. She got up and went to the yard and saw Xu Jianjun picking up the sickle.

"Dad, get up so early?" She yawned. She had been working on her homework until late yesterday, and she didn't have enough sleep.

Xu Jianjun lowered his head and sprinkled a little water on the whetstone, "Wake you up? I'll be fine soon, and you will sleep for a while. If you are going to harvest wheat today, you don't want to go, just stay at home."

His baby girl is white and tender, Xu Jianjun is reluctant to let the girl go to the ground to expose to the sun. The sun is not a joke at this time. He is a big man who has been down for several days, and he has to peel off the skin if it is not above. With his own mother staring at him, he even went by himself, and his mother and daughter-in-law also stopped.

Anyway, he is now in his prime, and he has some strength. Although he has been sitting in the office for more than ten years, he grew up in the countryside and can't develop the kind of white face with delicate skin and tender flesh.

Xu Ning did not agree. Instead, she said, "I can help a little bit. It doesn't take me a whole morning to cook. Grandma Gao and I can come back together. Didn't I cook at Grandpa Jiang's house two days ago."

"Well, take their house first." Xu Jianjun nodded, "Help Grandma Gao at noon?"

"That's what I think. What about the food for the two families. Although our family has a small population, now we are doing such a tiring job, and there must be a lot of food." Xu Ning explained with a smile.

Xu Jianjun didn't think there was anything, "You can do whatever you want."

Today's morning exercises are not necessary. When the wheat in the field is ripe, you have to hurry up and take it back.

After breakfast, their family went to the next door. Grandpa Jiang was already ready, and when he saw their family, he said: "Leave now?"

"Let's go, take advantage of the cool weather in the morning, and do more." Xu Jianjun said.

"Yes." Old man Jiang glanced at Xu Ning and said with a smile: "Ning Ning can just follow your grandmother Gao."

"Grandpa Jiang, don't worry."

After everything was cleaned up, the two families walked out of the house together.

The land of the two families is not too far from the village, and it takes only ten minutes to walk. The Jiang family planted three mu of land this year, and the Xu family’s four mu of land. The seven acres of land are all harvested with a sickle. But it is definitely not an easy task.

Although it will be very tired, but I am satisfied. In the past, the grain harvest was put together by the whole village, and the public grain was thrown away. The rest was distributed according to work points. But in the end, there are still some delicious lazy foods. People, there is no other way, and you can still watch those people starve to death.

Now I have land at my home, and although I have to pay public grain for the grain I grow, there will be more leftovers.

"Brother Zheng, do you want to cut too?" When Xu Ning came to the edge of the wheat field, Xu Ning saw Xie Zheng with long-sleeved trousers and a towel hanging around his neck, carrying a sickle and preparing to go to the ground, and followed him: "Then I will be behind you."

Xie Zheng squinted slightly, looking at the pink and white girl in front of him, her thin lips pressed into a straight line, this thin skin and tender flesh, at first glance, is not a person who can go to the ground.

It is early morning, the temperature is cool, and after another two hours, the hot sun above my head will not be able to toss the little girl miserably.

"There are enough people in the field, and you can't do much work when you come. It's better to review the key points I taught you yesterday at home." Xie Zheng said calmly.

Xu Ning did not hear anything else from what he said, only thinking that Xie Zheng was concerned about her learning progress, so he smiled and said, "I will learn what I should learn. Everyone in my family comes to work in the field, so I can be considered a good one. It’s a little bit of strength.

"Then take your time behind me, and I will come back to help you when the head is cut."

"good."

Before long, several people in the ground waved their sickles, and the golden wheat waves fell forward one after another.

Xu Ning followed behind, and methodically bundled up the fallen wheat in clumps, so that it was nothing else but sent to the house.

Looking up at the few people in front of her, not to mention her mother's background, even the old lady's age, still work hard.
