Early the next morning, Li Yuezhu got busy.

Today is my mother's birthday. Even if I can't prepare expensive gifts, I still have to make a delicious meal.

The wheat harvest started today. My mother and brother went to work in the fields early in the morning. I wonder if they had eaten in the morning.

The family eats very sparingly on rice and noodles. My mother is used to living in poverty and is reluctant to eat even when cooking.

She made the noodles early this morning and prepared to steam the steamed buns to eat. It had been a long time since she had eaten white flour steamed buns. Xiao An squatted aside and obediently lit the fire for Li Yuezhu.

By the time the steamed buns were steamed, it was already noon. Li Yuezhu and Xiao An sat down at the dining table, waiting for their mother and brother to come.

"Xiao An must be hungry. Let's eat the food first without waiting for my brother and mother. Later we will go and deliver food to them." Li Yuezhu felt that her mother and brother should be busy working in the fields and would not have time to come back.

"My brother and my mother must be very tired from working in the fields. Sister, we need to eat quickly, my mother and brother are still hungry."

After hastily finishing the meal with Xiao An, Li Yuezhu found a basket from the kitchen and put six white flour steamed buns in it. He boiled a large pot of hot water and put the dishes left for them in a small box.

In the basket.

"Xiao An, does he know where our land is?" Li Yuezhu has never been to his own land, and now he can only rely on this little one.

"I know, I know, Xiao An knows, it's just north of Xingfu River."

While Su Qingyun was preparing meals for his mother and brother, Xiao An also prepared some delicious food and put them into the white silk bag. This silk bag was the first time Li Yuezhu brought peanuts from brother Jinyan.

Well, I didn’t expect that Xiao An still kept it.

Li Yuezhu saw Xiao An filling a bag full of peanuts, melon seeds and peach pastry snacks she had brought, and carrying them on her shoulders in a stylish manner.

Li Yuezhu burst out laughing and touched Xiao An's head. This little doll is really cute.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Li Yuezhu could only lean on the shade of the trees while walking on the road. The sun in June was really scorching, and she didn't know how her brother and mother were doing while they were working in the fields.

Walking southward along the shade of the trees, after only two miles, there appeared a small river in front of me. The banks of the river were green and covered with weeds and wild flowers. The water in the river was flowing quietly. No wonder

Xiao An and the other three dare to catch small fish in this happy river.

Walk to Xingfu River, turn west, and arrive at their home land.

The wheat field has turned golden, but it has grown thin and small. My mother and brother are busy working in the field and have already harvested half of the wheat.

"Brother, mother, are here to eat." Li Yuezhu shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Brother, brother, come and eat quickly. The food cooked by sister is delicious." Xiao An listened to Li Yuezhu shouting, and he also called from behind.

Li Yuelan and Mr. Zhou didn't expect that their daughter would bring them food. Looking at the two little figures standing in the shade of the tree, they couldn't help but sigh that the bamboo had really grown up.

Seeing his mother and brother discover them, Li Yuezhu knelt down to look at the ripe wheat ears.

Li Yuezhu has also seen wheat in modern times. After the wheat matured, most of the heavy ears drooped. But the wheat he sees now grows thin and tall, and the ears are not full.

When his mother and brother approached, Li Yuezhu put down the basket slung in his arms.

"Brother, I thought you would go back for lunch at noon. You can't wait for anyone to come." Li Yuezhu said while handing them chopsticks.

"My mother and I saw that there were only two acres of land left, and we wanted to harvest them all in one go. In fact, Zhu'er didn't have to deliver food to us. My mother and I brought some dry food in the morning."

Li Yuezhu placed the prepared meals on the grass. When Zhou saw it, Li Yuezhu had actually steamed white flour steamed buns.

"When did Zhu'er learn this skill?" Zhou took a bite of the steamed bun and stuffed it in her mouth. It was soft and fragrant. It didn't have the sour taste that she had when steaming it in the past. It was even better than the steamed buns in the market.

tasty.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Zhuer added some special things to it." In the morning, Li Yuezhu bought yeast and alkaline noodles from the shopping system, and the steamed buns were naturally fluffy and delicious. "I will use this method when I go back.

Teach me mother."

Li Yuezhu took out the pot of water and an empty bowl from the basket, filled the empty bowl with water, and handed it to his brother who was fanning him. He turned around, picked up his brother's hat, put it on his head, picked up the sickle, and went to the ground.

inside.

Li Yuezhu had never used a sickle before, so he was naturally a bit unfamiliar with it. Moreover, the sickle at home was also blunt. He had to exert all his strength to cut a crop of wheat. He didn't know how his mother and brother did it.

Only then did Li Yuezhu realize how fierce the sun was today. He wished he could peel off a layer of his skin and seep sweat into the soil. Li Yuezhu had just cut such a small piece, and he couldn't bear the sun.

"Zhu'er, please give me the sickle. You and Xiao An go back quickly. It's so hot here. You'll get sunburned again." After hearing this, Li Yuezhu lowered his head and continued to cut the wheat in silence.

"Zhu'er, Zhu'er?" Seeing that Zhu'er didn't respond, Li Yuelan smiled and took the sickle from Li Yuezhu's left hand.

"Look at you kid, you can't even use a sickle, how can you help with the work? Go ahead and go back quickly."

Li Yuezhu took off his hat, handed it to his brother, turned around and left.

"What happened to this child today?" Li Yuelan only felt that Li Yuezhu was a little strange and a little unclear.

Li Yuezhu turned around and walked back while holding back her tears. Logically speaking, she was already ten years old. In ancient times, you could get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Now she can stand up to half an adult, and her brother and

But her mother still doted on her, hated her, and wouldn't let her do such rough work.

Wang's family's land has been harvested, and her family has three big laborers. Wang's husband is an honest farmer named Li Daniu. They have three sons. The eldest son is married and lives in the county town. His name is Li Dahu.

I make a living by reselling groceries.

The son's name is Li Erhu. Li Erhu works as a waiter in a restaurant. He also has a youngest son named Huzi. Huzi is as big as Xiao An and he loves to play.

Their fields were harvested quickly, and they borrowed Uncle Tiezhu's ox cart to transport the bundled wheat home.

"Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, wait." Li Yuezhu saw Aunt Wang wearing a dusty cotton gown from a distance, with a towel wrapped around her neck.

"Aunt Wang, wait a minute, let me borrow your sickle."

Mrs. Wang heard Li Yuezhu calling her all the way away. When she heard that she wanted to borrow a sickle, she immediately handed him three of them readily.

"Girl Zhu, come here, use whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
