When it was five in the afternoon, Zi Peng went to pour the ginseng from a bucket. His house is 200 meters away from the well, are uphill, pick a load of water back and forth takes 8 minutes. He picked up a handful of water and poured it into the spout, then poured it over the ginseng through the spout's small eyes. This method of watering, not only can not run the water, but also can make the water uniform absorption, nourish ginseng root, make ginseng quickly absorb. For this kind of watering, each curtain should be filled with at least 5 loads of water, and each curtain should be filled with 25 loads of water. These 25 loads of water took up to 200 minutes, or more than 3 hours, to be poured out again would take another hour, a total of 4 hours, and all of them would not be completed until 9 o'clock at night.
Just then, the eldest daughter, Cheng Hua, and the second daughter, Tsinghua University's father poured water on the ginseng. The two of them borrowed some water from the well and brought it to the ginseng garden. Cheng Hua was 19 years old, stood 1.6 meters tall, had a pretty face, spirited eyes, and two oily black braids on the back of his head. After graduating from junior high school in 1985,he helped work at home; Tsinghua University, 17 years old, 1.55 meters tall, looked similar to Cheng Hua, she had just graduated from junior high school this year.
With the help of the two of them, the speed of watering ginseng increased. Zi Peng could only water here. He had originally planned to take 4 hours to finish, but now he could do it in 2 hours. At around 7 PM, he successfully finished watering the ginseng. The sky was extremely long, and the sun had yet to set. Coming out of the ginseng garden, I went home happily. When he returned home, his mother had already prepared dinner. At this time, Third daughter Yu Hua also returned from school. The family ate dinner together. In the past, there had been seven people eating. The round table was fully filled. Today, however, there were only six people eating. Although there was one less person, it seemed like there was quite a bit less people. Seeing one less person to eat, they would experience love. As a result, the family lost their interest in eating dinner and sunk back into grief …
Wang Zipeng finished taking care of his adoptive father's funeral, rested at home for a day, and went to work on June 24th. When he walked to the front of Yu Lixia's house, he suddenly remembered that she had already finished ordering a 'Family' magazine for him, and the subscription receipt had never been delivered to her until now. She came when her foster father died. Because there were so many people, Rosia didn't ask. Today, as he walked up to the door of her house, he thought: I should send her the receipt so I don't forget to lose it later. Thinking of this, he put the bicycle by the side of the road and arrived at the home of Lisha. Lixia was feeding the pigs in the pigsty. Seeing that it was Zi Peng, he hurriedly put down the pig feed bucket and led Zi Peng into the house. She first poured him a cup of hot water and looked at him with tender, affectionate eyes.
”second brother, what brings you here? You can come to my house on your own accord, you are such a rare guest. I wonder what experience second brother has today. ”
”little sister, you asked me to order a 'Home' magazine for you last time, I finished it. The receipt was in my pocket for a long time, I had forgotten to give it to you. Going to work today, walking to your house, suddenly remembered, I came to give you a receipt. One more month and I'll be able to send you my 'family'. ” He put the receipt on the table.
”second brother, sorry to trouble you. You see, you're so busy with your work, and I'm sorry I made trouble for you. second brother thanks you first. ” she said sincerely.
”little sister, what are you thanking me for? ”Xie” was a bit too polite when he said it. Who told us to be siblings? What's there to be embarrassed about? What, Gui Hong went to shovel the ground again? ”
”No, he went to the City to buy pesticides. He left early in the morning. The corn was eaten clean by the worms, so they bought some pesticides to cure it. Otherwise, we won't receive any of them this year. ”
”That's right, we have to treat the worms as soon as possible. If we delay their treatment, it will affect our output.”
”It's all Gui Hong's fault. He rushed him to buy it two days ago, what did he say he was busy with? ”It's only been two days and he's already amazing.”
”little sister, keep the receipt properly. I will send you the book next month. ”If I leave, you will only talk to me; you won't even be able to feed the pigs.”
”second brother, you seem to be in such a hurry. There are usually things that you don't come to our house for. He had something to take care of today and was about to leave right after entering the house. Look at you, you haven't finished a glass of water? second brother, I really envy you. You see, when my master passed away, there were so many guests. If it was someone else, not to mention their adoptive father, even their biological father wouldn't be able to go to so many other people. I have heard them say that you are also a great filial son, and that you are both respectful and filial to your adoptive father. A good man like you is hard to find even with a lantern. second brother, we have a few brothers, but in the end, we can't even raise our own biological elders, and I have to serve him. second brother, do you think this is fair? ” Lisa said indignantly.
”little sister, as a person, as long as your conscience is correct, it doesn't matter who it is.” After he finished speaking, he picked up the cup of water and drank a cup of water before heading out.
”second brother, I won't send you off. If you have time in the future, come visit me often.” She walked him to the gate...
