Chapter 8 chapter eight

When the wheat was being harvested, the weather was extremely hot. In the depths of Palou Mountain, when the wheat harvesters of each household were exhausted from harvesting, they all went to rest under the trees in their fields and drank the cold water drawn from the well in the tank. , Looking at the undulating mountain ridges and wheat fields, the strong and hot fragrance of wheat flows continuously on the mountains, like flowing mist, jingling from people's noses.Jinlian's father and Jinlian's mother were sitting and resting under the locust tree at the head of the field, and the blunted sickle for harvesting wheat was hung on the tree.They were waiting for Jinlian's younger sister, Yinlian, to bring water from home. After drinking the water, they should go home after cutting for a while.There are land frogs crawling in the wheat field.In the field where the wheat has been cut down, the original green grass is cold and naked in the sun, and it is wilted in the sun.In the village on the opposite mountain ridge, whose family is rushing to get married in the summer, the trumpeters are playing lively and colorful, it sounds like a stream of water flowing through the heat.There is also a cow in that village, standing at the head of the village like a pile of mud, only when it lazily raises its head and barks, does it realize that the cow is not mud, but a living cow.Amidst the sluggish and sluggish yelling, the grown silver lotus, carrying a jar of water, wiped the sweat from her brow, and climbed up from the ditch behind her like a speck of mud.Papa Jinlian tells you to hurry up, he is going to kill your father and mother from thirst.

Yinlian walked faster, and called back that I was running three times in a row, and I would die if I ran any faster.This is near.When it was near, Jin Lianniang hurriedly stepped forward to take the full jar of water, picked out the grass leaves that were placed on the water to prevent the water from splashing, and handed the jar to Jinlian's father, let him drink the water, and then turned his head to look at it Yinlian said, after summer you will be seventeen.Yinlian said that after the seventeenth, she started to move towards the eighteenth.Mother said, look how lucky your sister is. She doesn't have to harvest wheat in the hot summer, and she doesn't have to get up early in the morning to catch a market, and she won't be able to get home in the middle of the night.Yinlian said mother, you asked my sister to find me a husband's house and go to the town. They said that Ximen Town might develop into a city. If you find my husband's house in the town, my sister and I will take you and dad Live in the town, we will never go back to this mountain again.Jin Lianniang looked at Jin Lianmei seriously, sighed, and said that you are not as good-looking as your sister. Your sister needs a waist and a chest, and her face is as fair as girls in the city. Son.Yinlian puffed up her chest and said that I was not yet seventeen miles away, and my sister was not as good-looking as me when she was seventeen.At this time, Jinlian's father finished drinking the water and returned the pot to Jinlianniang, saying that after harvesting the wheat, he had to buy two good clothes for Yinlian. How can a woman lift her head stretchedly in front of people.

Yinlian had a pale smile on her face. After the whole family drank water, they bent down happily to cut the wheat. The strong smell of wheat, grassy smell and the hot earthy smell kicked out by their feet merged into a puddle, and rushed towards The four fields are scattered.
