Chapter 752 The entrance to the village [asking for a monthly ticket
Crack, click, clatter, the heavy sound of the hand-push rice harvester echoed among the rice fields under the blue sky, and the pace of pushing forward was quite difficult.
"Pengbin, do you want to take a break?"
"It's okay, I can still hold on..."
Guo Pengbin pushed the machine, which was no longer new, and his arms hurt from the shock. His legs were stuck in the field and he could hardly pull them out.
He is no longer as young as he was when he was young. For many years, he has been sitting in the office almost all day in front of the computer, and his body is completely rusty. After pushing for a day yesterday, his waist and back ached. Now that he has been pushing for a while, he is almost dying.
Falling into the field.
The scorching sun of midsummer was on my head, and the straw hat I was wearing couldn't block the harsh sunshine at all, and my face turned red.
"Don't hold on." Uncle Quan, who was following him, was watching. He had been doing field work for so many years, and he knew at a glance when it was time to take a break. "Don't get a heat stroke."
Guo Pengbin knew this. After pushing for a few more meters, he finally had to stop and handed the harvester he was holding to Uncle Quan, "I'll take a rest..."
Although Uncle Quan was in his fifties, short in stature and with a big belly, he worked quickly. He grabbed the armrest of the harvester and continued to push it forward.
Although there are many rice fields in the village, there is only one fully automatic rice harvester owned by the village collective. Now is the busy farming season, and everyone is vying to use it, so they have to queue up. But everyone is not idle waiting for the machine, so they use it first.
Cheap push harvesters cut crops in narrow plots first.
"Huh..." Guo Pengbin took a breath, rubbed his arms and walked to the edge of the field to get some water.
The fields are very lively. Harvesting rice is not something that can be done by just one or two people. His mother is also helping. His wife and Sister-in-law Quan cooked some mung bean soup and brought it over for them to eat to relieve the heat. In the adjacent field, Li Rongqin
The family is also cutting fields. The weather forecast has said that it will rain continuously in the next few days. Everyone is trying to catch up with the good weather in these few days.
"Ouch, look at how sweaty you are." Yu Qi handed a sweat towel to her husband who came forward. Guo Pengbin smiled, took off his shirt, and went shirtless. He took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat, "Old
My arms and legs are old. It’s hard not to admit that I’m old. More than ten years ago, I pushed for a week without getting tired.”
"Just brag." Of course Yu Qi didn't believe it, and Guo Pengbin was of course bragging. You'll be tired after a week of doing this at any age.
He gulped down most of the bowl of soup and looked around, "Where are the children and the others?"
They were all playing on the edge of the field before, including Xuanxuan from Li Rongqin's family, and a few other families who also moved back. A group of children were already playing well, and they all took advantage of the opportunity to run wild.
.These children used to live in towns. Except for nurseries, kindergartens and schools, they were picked up and dropped off by their parents to and from school. They did not walk much and had few opportunities to play wild. At most, they were swinging in small parks in their own communities.
"My parents are taking them with them," Yu Qi said, "It's too sunny here, so they and other uncles and aunts took their children back to the village."
Guo Pengbin nodded and looked at Uncle Quan who was working in the distance. Straws were falling in rows. He didn't know if it was because the weather was too hot and he was a little dizzy. In a daze, everything over there was blurry.
There was a ghosting, and then everything was normal again.
"Honey, this mung bean soup is delicious." Probably because he was tired and thirsty, he ate it really delicious.
"Sister-in-law Quan did it." Yu Qi said with a smile, "I just did some tricks."
"Perhaps this point played a key role." Guo Pengbin said with a sweet taste, "My wife..."
Yu Qi rolled her eyes at him, and she could tell that he wanted to say something thank you for suffering with him, "Stop saying such disgusting words." They had also been sweet and romantic, but now they were an old couple, and it was a bit painful to talk about those things.
No, besides seeing her husband sweating profusely, how could she complain?
"You know what I'm going to say?" Guo Pengbin was happy.
"It's better to live here now than in Dongzhou." Yu Qi said. They have been paying attention to the news. The situation in Dongzhou is not very good. There are more and more conflicts between Tianji personnel and strangers on the streets, and the scenes are
He also became more and more confused, "If I were still over there in Dongzhou, I would be scared to death."
It is precisely because of this that this remote and run-down village suddenly became lively. In addition to them and Li Rongqin's family, several other families moved back.
"Rong Qin and I have agreed that after these days of farm work," Guo Pengbin said with a forward look, "we will go to the town to buy some cement, bricks and other materials and come back to help each other build a bathroom at home.
"He knows what his wife cares about, and he does have that need.
"After these few days, it will be fine if you can still walk." Yu Qi saw that his back and legs hurt, "Don't be unable to get up by then."
"I can get up, but I'm not old enough yet." Guo Pengbin said with a smile.
While they were talking on the edge of the fields, people were working in the fields; and in the villages in the distance, which were composed of yellow mud houses, there was more vitality than before, and the laughter of children returned to this small village again.
A small native dog chased them as they ran and played.
"Come on!" The little tiger head ran on the village road, holding a wild flower just picked from the rice field in his hand. The petite flower swayed back and forth in the wind.
"Brother, wait for me!" Cai Yatou ran behind, Xuanxuan, Xiaobao and other children also shouted. At first they were not used to living here, but within two days, they were having fun in the fields.
They ran around, caught insects, and played with the puppies. Now they are not willing to ask them to go back to the city.
Several elders who were following behind shouted to them to run slower and be careful not to fall. There were few cars in the village, and the road was too narrow to drive in. Even motorcycles were rare, so they let the children go with ease.
Having fun and watching the children having fun makes them happy in their hearts.
The little tiger head was running towards the entrance of the village to see the cars. All their cars were parked there.
At this time, Cai Yatou and Xuan Xuan suddenly stopped when they saw the little tiger running in front...
"Brother?" Cai Yatou called out, but then she slowly stopped and saw a person standing there at the intersection of Cuntou. Xuanxuan and the others also stopped one after another.
The dog curled up its tail and whined uneasily...
That person in front of me... is so weird...
They saw that the man was bent over, like a hunchback but not quite like it. He looked particularly weird, his mouth protruded, his face was in tatters, his skin was covered with plaque, and his eyes were bloodshot.
There are long, blood-red, pointed teeth hidden in the protruding mouth.
