It was eerily quiet at night in the countryside, and only the occasional barking of dogs made people feel a little angry.
Zhou Yan wanted to continue imagining the task, but after a day of hard work, he was really a little tired. After taking a shower, he got into bed, and soon fell into sleep...
The next day, just after dawn, while Zhou Yan was still sleeping, he heard a knock on the door and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
Pulling on her slippers, she opened the door and found Miss Qin in Bugs Bunny pajamas rushing in and dove into bed.
After rolling and kicking inside for a while, Miss Qin poked her head out of the quilt with a smile: "Brother, it's better to be warm under your quilt!"
"Isn't there a central air conditioner?" Zhou Yan sat helplessly on the bed, "Our air conditioner is driven by a ground source heat pump, which saves electricity than ordinary central air conditioners."
"I felt too hot, so I turned it on for a while and then turned it off again!" Qin Ruoshu pouted and put her arms around Zhou Yan's neck, "It's more comfortable to sleep with you in my arms..."
"As for that? During the Olympics, didn't you think I was too hot?" Zhou Yan glanced at the eldest lady, "Also, if you are more honest when sleeping and don't kick the quilt away, it won't be a problem.
When I woke up in the morning, my bed felt cold..."
"Hehe..." Qin Ruoshu stuck out her tongue.
"Also," Zhou Yan glanced in the direction of the door, "my mother has the key to the door. She will probably come over and invite us to dinner soon..."
Qin Ruoshu woke up from a dream, got into bed with a blushing face: "It's broken, if aunt finds out..."
Zhou Yan lifted off the quilt and looked at the eldest lady curled up on the bed with schadenfreude: "Then you still get under the quilt?"
"Yes……"
A few minutes later, Mrs. Zhou Yan really took the key and opened the door to the new house, but she didn't come to wake Qin Ruoshu up, but to order her son to make breakfast.
Because she was worried that her future daughter-in-law would not be accustomed to eating, Mrs. Zhou Yan ordered her son to make several types of pasta: meat, vegetarian pies, vegetable boxes, fried buns and pot stickers.
When Miss Qin rushed over to have breakfast, she thought her future mother-in-law was going to open a breakfast shop.
In order to prove that she was not "free of charge", after breakfast, Miss Qin rolled up her sleeves, rolled up her basket and set off with Zhou Yan.
The fields are a golden color from the harvest. Occasionally, in a few fields, corn stalks that have been removed from the cobs stand upright in the autumn wind; in most corn fields, the stalks have been cut diagonally, leaving a trail of corn stalks.
Each one has sharp thorns like spearheads.
Zhou Yan’s father and mother are very popular. When the villagers working in the fields see Zhou Yan leading his girlfriend, they always say hello with a smile...
"Uncle, have you brought your aunt back to work?"
Qin Ruoshu, who was called aunt all the way, was a little puzzled and even more depressed: "Brother, why do they call you uncle?"
"I am of the same generation as their father, so they naturally have to call me uncle," Zhou Yan chuckled, "I am the eldest in the family, so naturally I am uncle."
After walking for a while, Qin Ruoshu found that there was an old man in his seventies in the village who called him "aunt", and a little girl about his own age called him "grandma", not to mention how depressed he was.
Fortunately, there are many wild flowers on the roadside, especially the wild chrysanthemums, which bloom in full bloom...
"Wow, there are so many wild chrysanthemums..." Qin Ruoshu rushed forward excitedly, picked a few flowers, and came back with "ghost needles" all over her body.
"Old Zhou..."
My girlfriend has been wronged, so naturally she has to give her something sweet, and ripe jujubes are the best choice.
Qin Ruoshu wanted to reach out, but when she saw the sharp thorns on the jujube branches, she backed down and just directed from the side.
"Brother, go a little further, right..."
The two stopped and walked, and when they arrived at their destination, there were only straws crushed by the corn harvester in the field.
Qin Ruoshu was dumbfounded, turned around and stared at Zhou Yan angrily: "It's all your fault, we can only watch the fun!"
"It's not too late!" Zhou Yan smiled and picked up the broad corn leaves on the ground with a stick. "Our mission is to search for the fallen corn in the ground."
However, the only things that can be dropped by the harvester are empty cobs with few seeds.
By the time Mrs. Zhou Yan and her two workers had finished searching, Mr. Zhou Yan had already brought the family tractor over. After loading the truck, he moved to another piece of land.
In order to facilitate harvesting, Zhou Yan's father exchanged the corn fields with people in the village and gathered together five or six pieces of land and more than ten acres of corn. The harvest was completed in less than two hours.
Moreover, when harvested by machines, there are very few residues...
After searching behind Zhou Yan for a while, Miss Qin felt a little tired of it, but she couldn't blatantly be lazy, so she could only work hard...
Mrs. Zhou Yan had long seen how her son worked as a foreigner when he was a child. She didn't know that her daughter-in-law-to-be was impatient, so she had to pick up a corn stalk and threw it in front of Zhou Yan...
what happened?
Zhou Yan raised his head and found that his wife was constantly winking at him. When he looked back, he found that the eldest lady was standing not far behind him, wrestling with a corn stalk.
clear!
Zhou Yan smiled at his mother and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired, why don't we take a break?"
"also!"
Mrs. Zhou Yan took the thermos pot and cup from the basket and poured water for the two "heroes": "Xiao Qin, come here and drink water!"
Father Zhou Yan may have been aware of this situation a long time ago. After returning home to unload the corn, he took two rakes back and completely liberated Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu...
Miss Qin, who was finally free, could finally have fun, chasing grasshoppers, chasing butterflies, picking wild flowers, and picking jujubes. It was like experiencing the return of the wild nature.
It had been a long time since Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yan left with the harvester, and Miss Qin, who was already a little uninterested, discovered the problem. She carried a full harvest in her clothes and returned to Zhou Yan who was watching the excitement.
"Brother, where are uncle and aunt?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I've gone back!" Zhou Yan stared at the pile of treasures in the front of the eldest lady's clothes with a smile, "Why are you picking so many jujubes?
"
"Of course, eat it!" Miss Qin grabbed a handful very generously and stuffed it into Zhou Yan's hand, "Let's share the blessings together!"
Zhou Yan thought for a while and looked at Qin Ruoshu carefully: "I forgot to tell you something. On the hillside behind our house, my dad transplanted a large field of jujube trees."
"You didn't tell me earlier..." Qin Ruoshu glared at Zhou Yan angrily.
"It's not a waste," Zhou Yan smiled, "Jujube seed tea can soothe the mind and cure insomnia. Let's take the pulp and give it to your dad when we get home!"
"Really!" Qin Ruoshu stared at Zhou Yan dubiously. After staring for a while, he suddenly realized a question, "Brother, how do you know that Lao Qin has insomnia?"
"Isn't that simple?" Zhou Yan smiled, "Several times, when I looked for him, I found that he had dark circles under his eyes and there were soothing drugs on the table..."
"Thanks……"
"We are a family," Zhou Yan smiled, "Old Qin is also the future father-in-law after all..."
"Then let's keep picking!"
The eldest lady, who was motivated, pulled Zhou Yan to collect all the jujubes around her before giving up.
When I got home, I didn't even enter the door, so I dragged Zhou Yan and ran into the woods at the back, not stopping until I collected all the wild dates in Zhoujialing.
Zhou Yan’s parents felt a little distressed when they saw it: “Daughter, eating too many jujubes is bad for your teeth!”
"Brother said that jujube seeds can cure insomnia. My dad's sleep quality is not very good and he often suffers from insomnia..."
At noon, a neighbor who came to visit accidentally found out Miss Qin's purpose of picking jujubes and spread the news.
After dinner, neighbors came to visit one after another with large and small bags of jujubes. Miss Qin was so moved that she dropped the golden beans...
