As evening approached, the dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed, revealing a blue sky and golden sunset.
"Mou~"
A cow's braying interrupted Niu Dan's meditation. He looked up and saw an ox cart slowly approaching on the winding path outside covered with golden glow.
"Niudan, go to the fields and call your grandfather and your mother back."
Niu Gen jumped down from the bullock cart, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.
The bed of the bullock cart contained not only a basket of local eggs, two pieces of cloth of different colors, a fan of pork, but also many other odds and ends.
Niu Dan groaned and ran outside.
Their family has a total of thirty acres of land, of which ten acres belong to their own family and twenty acres belong to the Zhang family, a large family in the town. They are tenants of the Zhang family.
There are only three main laborers in the family. It is certainly not easy to take care of the thirty acres of fields. The work in the fields is not finished. Every day, we go out before dawn, come back for a meal at noon, and come back in the dark at night.
According to the memory in his mind, Niu Dan first came to the dry land closest to his home, covering an area of three acres. This was his own land and planted with drought-resistant sorghum. At this time, a small figure was squatting in the field to weed.
When I was ten years old, in my previous life, I should have been sitting in a bright classroom, studying, and growing up carefree with my classmates. But here, I started working in the fields early, and my young hands were covered with calluses.
.
"sister!"
Niudan barked.
Niu Wanwan, who was pulling weeds, turned around when she heard the sound and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Dad is back. He bought a lot of things. You should go back quickly. I have to call my mother and grandfather."
"Okay, I'll go back after finishing this piece."
After Niu Wanwan finished speaking, she went back to work.
Niu Dan looked at the thin back and felt a little touched. He felt something in his heart, and he took out a vegetable leaf in his hand, put a few pieces of cold meat on it, and then walked to Niu Wanwan.
"Sister, stop doing it now and eat something to fill your stomach."
With that said, Niu Dan handed the piece of meat to Niu Wanwan's mouth.
"Meat!"
Niu Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw the slices of meat. The hunger in her stomach and the constant secretion of saliva urged her to eat the slices of meat quickly.
"Brother, you should eat. You are in good health and just need to replenish yourself."
Niu Wanwan pinched her fingers and forcibly looked away.
"I've eaten. Sister, open your mouth quickly."
Niu Dan said and stuffed the piece of meat directly into Niu Wanwan's small mouth.
Niu Wanwan opened her mouth to bite the piece of meat and hesitated: "Sister, eat, just eat a piece. If you don't want to eat, leave it for mother. Why did you stuff it all in?"
"I still have some here. Sister, stop doing this. Go back quickly. I'm going to find my mother."
As Niu Dan spoke, he quickly left in one direction along the field ridge.
Niu Wanwan puffed out her mouth, squinted her eyes, and slowly chewed the tender meat slices in her mouth, feeling the strong spicy flavor and reluctant to swallow it.
When Niu Dan handed the piece of meat to Wang Cuihua, he was already prepared to be scolded, but he didn't expect to be hugged on the forehead, and then kissed hard on the cheek several times.
Wang Cuihua wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Mom, just take one piece and give the rest to my grandfather."
"Grandpa has already eaten it, these are all yours."
Before coming here, Niu Dan had already been to Niu Fugui's place.
"Then you can keep it for yourself. Okay, it's getting dark soon. You go back first and then leave after my mother is busy again."
After Wang Cuihua bit a piece of meat, she carried two wooden buckets and walked towards the ditch in the distance.
She is a person who sticks to her word, and even nine bulls can't get her back from something she has made up her mind about.
Niu Dan also understood his mother's character. He sighed inwardly, wrapped the meat slices and put them into the space. Then he quickly followed and reached for another wooden barrel. "Mom, let me help you."
Wang Cuihua smiled and let her son take the wooden bucket in his hand. She didn't think the cow egg could last long. She would go back when she was tired. The child had been weak since he was a child, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to practice.
Just after a while, Wang Cuihua stared in shock at the figure walking swiftly carrying a bucket of water. This was already the tenth bucket, and each bucket was full, and the weight was not too light.
She couldn't figure out why her son suddenly became so capable, and she couldn't help but start to worry.
In fact, Niu Dan was a little surprised by his physical ability. He originally thought that being able to carry three to five buckets would be his limit. Unexpectedly, the weight of the buckets was much lighter than expected, and his physical strength was stronger than expected. It was only now that he started to feel a little tired.
This is obviously the effect of the loach meat. With such an immediate effect, no wonder the fourth uncle said it has a great effect on warriors.
"Okay, no need to mention it, it's getting dark, let's go back."
The sky had completely darkened. Wang Cuihua wiped the sweat from her son's face with some distress, "You must be exhausted."
"good."
Niu Dan gasped.
"Just like your father, he will show off his strength blindly."
Wang Cuihua nodded her son's forehead angrily, then turned her back to him and squatted down, "Come up, mother will carry you back."
"Mom, I'll go by myself."
"Okay, then watch the road and give me the bucket."
Wang Cuihua reached out to take the bucket and followed her son.
Back home, Wang Cuihua saw the things in the house and immediately pulled Niu Gen aside. The couple muttered without knowing what they said, and then they were all smiling. It was obvious that they had gained a lot from this trip to the city.
big.
"Daughter-in-law, hurry up and stew this pork. Let's eat meat tonight."
Niu Gen was holding a small jar of sorghum wine, which he bought in the county for sixty cents.
When Niu Fugui on the side saw the wine, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He had no other hobbies and just liked to drink a little wine.
Not long after, the aroma of food came from the stove, and Niu Dan once again became an errand and was called to invite his fourth uncle Niu Chun and his family to come over for dinner.
When I came back, in addition to Niu Chun's family, there was also a nine-year-old Niu Gui.
Niu Gui is the son of brother Niu Chun. Although he looks honest and honest, he often bullies others.
After he came in, the first thing he did was to say hello to Niu Fugui and Niu Gen, looking polite.
"Hey, Goudan has been in private school for a year, and his whole person is really different, with an aura of aura."
Wang Cuihua smiled at the old woman next to Niu Gui, and Goudan was Niu Gui's nickname.
"Haha, that's right. The gentlemen in the town all say that our dog Dan has spiritual energy and will definitely be admitted as a scholar in the future."
The second aunt pulled her precious grandson with her face full of pride.
Hearing the adults' compliments, Niu Gui raised his chin proudly, but his little eyes kept glancing at the bowl of pork on the table.
"Come on, everyone, sit down and eat."
After hearing Niu Fugui's words, everyone sat down.
