"Mom, today's rice is so delicious!" Gao Guoyao's eldest son was only six years old. He was eating white noodles with big mouthfuls, and there was meat sauce in the noodles. It was rare for everyone to eat such delicious food, and everyone ate it with big mouthfuls.

Only Yi Gong put down his chopsticks after eating a bowl. He looked at the white noodles in front of him with an aggrieved look. He had eaten too much this morning.

"Eat! I made a lot of white flour today and enough meat sauce. Weren't you the most greedy before? Why did you only eat one bowl today?" Gao Guozhong looked at his son and asked.

"My stomach is bloated and I can't eat anymore!" Gao Yigong turned his head and said.

"Second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, after dinner, you each take a bag of rice and flour back. You will eat better these days." Gao Baosheng said.

"Baosheng, forget about the fourth child! Leave it here, we can all eat here at noon." Gao Guoyao, the third child, said, Gao Guoming lives in his house.

"I still have two bags of rice and flour each, which is enough to eat. Our family's life will definitely get better and better in the future. This little rice and flour is nothing. I will pour you some oil later." Gao Baosheng said.

There is no need to be polite among relatives. Baosheng's uncles nodded in agreement, and the two aunts were also very happy. They usually wouldn't eat such good rice and noodles, so they gave it to their children.

"Dad, we finished filling the wheat field with water early today, and everyone in the village was watching. Do you think we should also help other people?" Gao Baosheng couldn't help but ask Gao Guoliang, remembering just now.

"Help, how can I help?" Gao Guoliang continued to eat his noodles and called Baosheng back.

"Our car just consumes a lot of fuel. There are only 13 families left in the village. We can fill all their wheat fields in one afternoon. It's too labor-intensive for everyone to pick buckets like this!" Gao Baosheng said.

"Didn't we always get here like this before?" Gao Guoliang said.

Gao Baosheng didn't expect his father to say that. He used to think about everything for the village, but now he was unwilling to help everyone.

The three Gao Guozhong brothers did not speak when they heard this. After a while, Gao Guoliang spoke again.

"You helped everyone in the village fill the wheat fields with water today, but what about tomorrow? Will we still have to fill them with water?"

The wheat field is about to start grinding the day after tomorrow, do you have to grind it for everyone again? After the wheat field is finished, pull the wheat from the field, grind the wheat stalks again, and finally hand over the public grain to the village and then send it all to everyone, so that the whole village

Your life is yours, and if you do anything poorly, everyone will say you are wrong," Gao Guoliang said.

Gao Baosheng couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this. He had a lot of words to help the villagers and he couldn't say it at once. He was doing it to earn space water, because he would raise fish next, and he would need a lot of space to prevent wind and sand.

It seems impossible to obtain water from the villagers.

"Baosheng, as long as you have the heart to do so, you only help occasionally. There is no one who helps all the time. If you finish all the work for the village, the whole village will just treat you as a fool." Gao Guozhong did not give Baosheng any face.

He must let his nephew know about this matter.

Gao Baosheng nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

"But... our family has a good relationship with Yindi's family. When your mother gave birth to your eldest sister, Guozhong and the others were still young, and your grandfather left early. It was Yindi's father and I who carried your mother to the county town. Yindi's father passed away the year before last, and his younger brother was only 14 years old. It was not easy to leave Yindi's mother to harvest wheat.

And the Erdan family has a good relationship with us..." Gao Guoliang said this, Gao Baosheng didn't say anything, but Shen Ruobing next to him burst into laughter.

Gao Guozhong also spoke after hearing this.

"Second uncle and I have been classmates with Junfeng's father since childhood, and we have always had a good relationship..."

"Third uncle, when I married your third aunt, I borrowed 200 yuan from Heizi's father..."

When Gao Baosheng saw that Gao Yigong seemed to be about to interrupt, he hurriedly shouted to stop.

"We will go to the wheat field to fill the water later. After filling, you can go wander around by yourself. If you feel that there is a favor you want to repay, come to me. I will wait in the wheat field." Gao Baosheng said.

As a result, only the men in the family went out in the afternoon and finished the four-corn wheat field in half an hour. Then everyone went to other wheat fields to spread the word. At the same time, they showed off to others that they had bought a car at home. It was an easy job. Others would naturally say to help him, and soon Gao Baosheng became busy.

There was no break in the afternoon, and in the end every Gaobao family in the village was fully irrigated at least once, and some even twice, which reduced everyone's workload a lot.

After dinner in the evening, Shen Ruobing went back to school, while Liu Fenglan seemed to have something on her mind while drinking rice porridge.

"Mom, you look unhappy, what's wrong?" Gao Baosheng asked.

"Mom is thinking about your eldest sister! Your eldest brother-in-law is an only child, and your eldest sister has been suffering from being with him in the past few years.

It's such a busy day for your eldest sister's family. It's going to be difficult for your eldest sister's family tomorrow morning. After watering the wheat field tomorrow morning, we are going to help your eldest sister and let your grandma go to your second uncle's house for lunch at noon?" Liu Fenglan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable thinking about her eldest daughter.

Gao Baosheng's eldest sister, Gao Yanni, is eight years older than Gao Baosheng. It can be said that Baosheng was raised by her eldest sister when she was a child. She married in Linxiang, which is not much better than Gaojiawan. Now her eldest sister has three children, and the family situation is very difficult. .

"How are we going to go now? Doesn't the eldest son-in-law have brothers in the family? If we go here and don't embarrass him, we should wait until the autumn harvest is over and then pick them up to live with them for a few days in the countryside." Gao Guoliang said.

Rural people value face. If you are not working at home during a busy day, you are not doing your job properly. This is not a good time to visit relatives.

"Didn't this Baosheng buy a car? Let's just go and tell Yanni that no one will laugh at the eldest son-in-law when we drive there?" Liu Fenglan said.

Gao Guoliang said nothing, the final decision still depends on Baosheng.

"I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time. It's time to check on her. Tomorrow morning we will irrigate the wheat field and set off early. Someone in the provincial village will be thinking about our car again.

Tomorrow we will go to the countryside to buy some things and take them with us to see some of my nieces." Gao Baosheng said.

Only then did Liu Fenglan smile. Among Gao Baosheng's three sisters, the second sister was the best. However, she was married to Suide County and only came back once a year for the Chinese New Year. The third sister just got married at the beginning of this year.

In a neighboring village, the third brother-in-law and the third sister were childhood sweethearts. Although their lives were ordinary, the third sister was very happy.

In the evening, Gao Baosheng checked the space water. The amount of water broke the record again today. The water level in the center of the pool water was already 40 centimeters, and the entire pool had accumulated 5 cubic meters of water.

Now the soil under the [Strength Fruit Tree] is black every day. It has been growing and is now more than 2 meters tall. The leaves of this tree look a bit like a jujube tree, but there are no sharp thorns on it. Gao Baosheng looks at it.

The tree has a dense canopy, and I don’t know when the tree will begin to bear fruit.

After half an hour of busy work, Gao Baosheng came out of the space. Now he has developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. It is dark in the village, there is no electricity, and there are no entertainment facilities. Even if you light a kerosene lamp, you have nothing to do, and you still have to smell

With that unpleasant smell, he might as well go to bed early. The next day he would have to water the power fruit tree in his space!

On July 27, before it was completely bright in the morning, Gao Baosheng followed his parents to drive to Green Sea Lake to pump water, and pulled four buckets to the wheat field. Gao Guoliang got out of the car and checked.

"It's almost done! I will irrigate again this morning and let the sun shine for two days. I should be able to grind the field tomorrow afternoon. There is a lot of irrigation water in the wheat field this year, so it may take three days to dry." Gao Guoliang said.

"It should take more than three days to harvest the wheat in Chidi. This year they use trucks to pull the wheat, which is enough time. People who have trucks to harvest in the autumn will save a lot of effort!" Liu Fenglan said with a smile.

By the time the second uncle and the others arrived at the wheat field, Baosheng and his father had finished their work. They told them that their family was going out for two days to visit Sister Baosheng. The three of them got in the car and set off.

The car took a water pump, four buckets, and three sickles to Mengjiawan Township. Baosheng went to various shops for half an hour. He didn't know what gifts to buy. There were too few things to buy in the countryside. He had to go to Yu for rice and noodles.

In Yang County, no one in Mengjiawan Township was willing to buy rice or noodles. He could only buy ten kilograms of oil and a large bag of snacks for his nieces.

Passing by the cattle and sheep market, Gao Baosheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw someone selling beef. A big cow's head was placed on the ground.

The beef head only cost 12 yuan. Gao Baosheng went to the store to buy seasonings for cooking the meat, and then he was satisfied and ready to drive.

Occasionally, cattle or sheep die in accidents in rural areas, so farmers can only set up stalls in the countryside to sell meat to recover some losses, and the price is much cheaper than the price of meat in the county.

"Why did you buy such a big bull's head? There's not much meat!" Gao Guoliang said dissatisfiedly when he saw Baosheng put the bull's head into the carriage and got into the car.

"This cow head is a good thing. You will know it when you get to eldest sister's house." Gao Baosheng said with a smile.

The car headed west and southeast. Balasu Township, where the eldest sister is located, is adjacent to Mengjiawan Township, about 40 kilometers away. Yuyang County is vast and sparsely populated. Even if the two townships are adjacent to each other, it is not easy to visit.

She only went home two or three times a year. Now that she has three children, she comes back even less often.

Gao Baosheng used to be very incompetent at home. He rarely went to the homes of his sisters and never took the initiative to help them.

After passing Balasu Township and walking south for another five miles, we arrived at my sister's village. Gao Baosheng drove to the door of his sister's house and saw that the courtyard door was locked.

"You are Yanni's family, right? Their family has gone to the wheat field, and there is no one at home!" an old lady on crutches said to them.

"Grandma, do you know where my eldest sister's wheat farm is?" Gao Baosheng asked.

"Follow this road and turn right at the end. There is the third wheat field on the left along the main road." the old lady said.

Gao Baosheng followed the road pointed by the old lady and headed south. When he reached the intersection, he saw a few people fetching water from a well. Although the village was not very windy and sandy, and there were many more wheat fields than Gaojiawan, water could only be obtained from the well.

Gao Baosheng saw a woman walking east carrying water, who looked very much like his eldest sister.

"Your eldest sister is there, stop!" Gao Guoliang shouted hurriedly when he saw his daughter. As soon as Gao Baosheng parked the car, he opened the car door and jumped out.

Gao Baosheng also got out of the car. Only then did the eldest sister hear a car stop behind her and turned her head. She saw her parents and younger brother coming, and smiled happily.

"Mom, Dad, Baosheng. Why are you here?" Yanni said, putting down the pole.

"Why are you carrying water here? Where is the food?" Gao Guoliang asked dissatisfiedly when he saw his daughter carrying water alone.

"Full of food...full of food!" Gao Yanni shouted in the direction of the well.

A young man who looked thin and wore glasses was fetching water from the well. When he raised his head, Gao Baosheng saw that it was his eldest brother-in-law.

"Mom, Dad, Baosheng, why are you driving such a big car? Go home quickly!" Gao Yanni put down the pole and asked Gao Guoliang and the others to go to her house.

"Baosheng bought this car. We were thinking about your difficulty in harvesting the autumn harvest, so we came over to have a look. Are you in the field?" Liu Fenglan said proudly while asking her daughter.

"Baosheng, you are so promising! You actually bought a car? Let your sister take a look." Gao Yanni pulled Baosheng over and said happily.

Baosheng felt that his eldest sister was very strong and she had been doing hard labor for a long time.

"Sister, my parents and I are here to help. Look, I brought everything here." Gao Baosheng was also very happy to see the eldest sister, but the eldest sister now looked a little dark and looked like someone in her thirties.

"Uncle, aunt, Baosheng is here!" Wei Manliang came over and said hello to the three of them.

When Baosheng saw that his brother-in-law was still like that, he seemed very polite and spoke very little. His father married his sister to him on the one hand because he graduated from high school and was educated, and on the other hand because his brother-in-law's father was a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Balasu Township, but the eldest sister

My father-in-law died just after I got married, and my brother-in-law only had a basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. He treated people in the village and could not earn much money a year.

"Where is the child? Why don't you see the child?" Gao Guoliang's face dropped when he saw Wei Manliang. Gao Baosheng guessed that there must be a story between his father and his eldest brother-in-law that he didn't know.

"Weeding in the wheat field?" Wei Manliang heard Gao Guoliang ask and hurriedly replied.

"The child is so young and you leave him alone in the wheat field. Don't you know there are many sand wolves at this time?

"Yanni, go and see the child quickly. If you are full of food, you can stay and help the baby pump water. How can you take care of the child like this?" Gao Guoliang was a little angry. Gao Yanni hurriedly threw down the pole and left. When Liu Fenglan saw this, she also went with her daughter.

Wei Manliang looked at Gao Guoliang with his eyes evasive. If Gao Yanni hadn't insisted on staying, Gao Guoliang would have taken Yanni back.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to drive the car to the well. How deep is your well?" Gao Baosheng pulled his eldest brother-in-law and asked.

"About 15 meters!" Wei Manliang and Gao Baosheng are both educated people, so they are relatively good at talking.

"Then I have to change the pipe. The water inlet pipe is not enough. It may take some time to pump the water." Gao Baosheng drove the car to the well, changed the positions of the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe, and began to stir the water pump.

The three of them took turns filling four buckets with water for half an hour. When they arrived at the eldest brother-in-law's wheat field, they saw the eldest sister and her mother throwing the grass from the wheat field to the roadside.

When the three children saw their grandfather, father, and uncle coming back in the car, they ran over happily.

"Baosheng, your brother-in-law and I will do the rest. You play with the children. You haven't seen them for more than a year!" Gao Guoliang got out of the car, carried his three granddaughters into the car, and climbed into the back.
Chapter completed!
