First encounter

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the wheat in the fields is as yellow as gold. Most of the villagers are busy harvesting wheat, so as not to suddenly turn into heavy rain on sunny days. After all, God will change his face at this time. Every year, the lazy people delay harvesting wheat due to slow hands and feet, and finally they are laughed at by the whole village.

Lin Xian was also busy in the field at this time, sweating profusely.

Lin Xian liked to go up trees and leaping birds to fish in the river when he was young, and was not keen on fame and fortune. Unfortunately, his parents at home had inexplicable persistence in fame and fortune, and even wanted to support him in his studies. Lin Xian could not resist them, so he had to work hard. Gradually, he found that he was indeed a bit talent for studying. He had never been beaten by a teacher for more than a dozen children studying together. In the 14th year, he participated in the college entrance examination and came out of the examination room after the last game. He was told that his father was exhausted when he helped someone build a house. Lin Xian was heartbroken and hurried home, shocked to find that my mother was overly sad.

Lin Xian was heartbroken.

On the day of the listing, when all the candidates finished reading the list, he tore off the red list and knelt in front of the grave to burn it for his parents. His parents recognized his name in this life, and this time his name ranks first. The two elders must be very happy to see it, right?

Both his parents died because of his schooling. Lin Xian didn't want to take the exam again and obediently stayed at home to mourn. Three years later, the once fair and thin scholar, who had been well-off, would also farm, save a small amount of money, and rely on his reputation as a scholar and handsome appearance, he soon married a gentle and beautiful wife and became a farmer peacefully.

The couple was loving and gave birth to two daughters in succession. After a few years, they had a son. They gradually became a little short of life on the farm alone. I heard that the old man who had taught him in the town next door was preparing to go home to retire, and the private school wanted to invite a new man. Lin Xian quickly walked around with gifts, and finally stood out among the seven or eight down-and-out scholars and successfully took on this job. A total of more than 20 students can earn at least twenty or two bunches of money a year, and during festivals, students' homes will also give them local products to add vegetables.

Lin Xian gave all the money to his wife Liu. Liu was very good at taking care of her and her family was getting better and better. She was pretty good in the village.

In fact, the Lin family’s expenses are not very large.

The family has six acres of land, each with two acres of wheat, bars and peanuts, and the vegetable garden opened in the front and back yards, so the whole family can basically have a year of food. Lin Xian’s buns are mainly used on three children, buying flower, cloth, jewelry, snacks for his two daughters, and pens, ink, paper and ink for his young son. Lin Xian himself is not very particular about his clothes. Seeing that his wife was reluctant to spend money on her, he deliberately kept a few taels when he paid the money and went back to buy things for his wife himself.

Today, Liu specially wore silver lilac earrings that her husband gave him.

Aji was helping her mother prepare lunch in the kitchen. She couldn't help but look at her mother several times, always thinking that her mother was particularly beautiful today.

"What are you looking at?" Liu's "Dangdangdang" asked his eldest daughter with a smile after cutting the shredded pork.

Aji pointed at her ear: "Mom, are you newly bought this earring? I don't seem to have seen you wear it before."

Liu smiled, held the shredded pork on the plate with a kitchen knife, and continued to cut eggplant: "Yes, do Aji like it? If you like it, I will give it to you. My mother is so old. Wearing these is a waste of things. It is the most suitable thing for you to wear. It happens that Zhongjing will come to our house for dinner and let him see how beautiful his fiancée is."

"Mom! If you talk nonsense like this, I won't help you!" Aji suddenly blushed and lowered her head and said angrily.

The eldest daughter was so thin-skinned that she couldn't help but make fun of her. Liu quickly changed the topic: "Okay, okay, let's not mention him. Really, do you like these earrings? If you like your mother, I'll give it to you."

Aji shook her head and looked at the rapeseed in the basin carefully: "I just asked casually, I didn't want it. My mother has bought a lot for me, so keep it for myself. It looks good to wear it." My mother is only in her early thirties and is not old at all. The three of them went out together, and others said that they looked like three sisters.

"I really love to say this. OK. I'll buy you a new one next time I go to the town." Liu said with relief. The eldest daughter has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She happily bought her things. Then, if she didn't give her, she wouldn't be jealous. Others would pester her and ask her for it. Unlike her second daughter, if she had just changed to her, she would have pestered her for the earrings.

Thinking of his second daughter, Liu put down his kitchen knife and walked to the kitchen door, shouting to the west wing, "Azhu, it's time to have a meal. Go to the field to call your father and others. Those who love to work, and they don't know if they don't ask them to come back! Then go to your brother Meng's house and invite your uncle Meng to come to our house to eat too!" The Meng family's wheat was already harvested two days ago, and the prospective son-in-law came to say hello early, saying that they must call him when harvesting wheat, and this morning, he even called his younger brother over to help.

After waiting for a while, a sick voice came from over there: "Mom, my stomach hurts, please let my sister go!"

Aji paused and looked at her mother. If there were no brothers in the Meng family, it would be fine for her to go, but...

Liu was furious and rushed towards his two daughters' houses, cursing as he walked: "Every time you ask you to do something, you will pretend to have a stomachache. Get up quickly, your sister can't walk away for me! It's up to a quarter of an hour from our house to the wheat field. Why are you so lazy?"

Lin Zhu covered her stomach and lay on the kang. She went to call people in the hot sun. She was lazy to leave, but this time she didn't lie. As soon as Liu came in, she said pitifully: "Mom, my menstrual period is coming, my stomach is really uncomfortable. Otherwise, I will definitely go there. Just a few steps, will I lie to you?"

Lin Zhu was twelve years old and had a menstrual period that he had just arrived at the beginning of the year. When Liu saw her pale face, he immediately felt distressed. He leaned over and touched Lin Zhu's forehead, which was cool. Now she couldn't bear to call her daughter, but she was not so easy to fool. She gently poked Lin Zhu's forehead: "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, I don't know what kind of temperament you are? Even if your stomach doesn't hurt now, you will definitely think of other ways to be lazy!"

Lin Zhu laughed and admitted that he was really lazy.

Liu had no choice but to take her, so he quickly went back to the kitchen and said to his eldest daughter: "Aji, your sister has a stomachache, so you can go for her mother. Don't think too much about it, silly girl, everyone is busy harvesting wheat now, there is a family that is not enough staff, and no one says anything about my daughter's prospective son-in-law going to work together. There are not so many things in our countryside. I and your father back then..."

When her mother was about to mention her love story with her father again, Aji couldn't help laughing and stood up and said, "Mom, don't talk, I'll go now." She stood on the ground and called someone, and after she shouted, she walked back and didn't meet him.

"So good, go quickly!" After saying that, Liu quickly cut vegetables. Don't wait for the men to come back later. Her vegetables have not yet been fried. She will make her son-in-law laugh at her for nothing.

Aji wiped his hands, simplified his hair, and went out.

As noon approached, the sun was really vicious and white. Two rows of poplar trees were planted on both sides of the dirt road, and Aji walked along the shade. The road was full of insects, which were unique to pulling wheat. I didn't feel scary when I saw it, but it was a bit troublesome when I went back to wash the soles of my shoes.

Walking east after leaving the village, there were busy families on both sides. Some villagers who knew greeted her and Aju responded one by one.

Before you know it, you can see your own place.

Aji began to get nervous.

She and Meng Zhongjing are childhood sweethearts. When they were young, they played together. When they were old, they knew they would avoid it and changed their way of getting along. At first, she didn't feel anything, but only vaguely realized that when they met accidentally, Meng Zhongjing looked at her more and more focused, and Aji gradually felt a little bit behind her. Later, when Meng Zhongjing came out, she would bring her snacks to her and ask her brother to give her. Aji completely understood his intentions, and when she met again, she couldn't help but blush and beating her heart.

It turned out that at some point, they all grew up. He grew into a tall and strong man, and she became the most beautiful girl near the other people.

Last year, Meng Zhongjing came to her house to propose marriage. Her parents asked her if she wanted it. She was ashamed and said nothing. However, the marriage between the two was officially settled and they got married in September this year.

"Sister, is our rice cooked?"

The random thoughts were interrupted by the familiar child voice. Aji looked at the wheat field and saw her seven-year-old brother Lin Chongjiu running towards her, her fair face was red from the sun.

Aji suddenly felt distressed, and held the boy who rushed over, took out a veil to wipe his sweat: "Yes, my mother asked me to call you, are you tired?" My father didn't let her do farm work with her sister, but said that her younger brother had to study and farm, so he took him to the field early. Even if his younger brother couldn't do anything when he was three or four years old, his father also asked him to play in the field and did not allow him to go home early.

"It's not tired, it's just too hot. Sister, let's go back quickly!" Lin Chongjiu broke away from the elder sister's hands and tried to run away.

Aji quickly grabbed him, and saw that the tall figure in the distance finally turned around and continued to pull the wheat. Then she whispered: "You call dad and the others first, and we will leave after we call us." In front of Meng Zhongjing, she was embarrassed to shout loudly.

Lin Chongjiu didn't have as many concerns as she was, and shouted to the ground: "Dad, Brother Meng, Second Brother Meng, I'm going home for dinner!"

"I understand, let's go now!" Lin Xian replied loudly.

In fact, he had seen his daughter come over, so he couldn't help but want to do more, but the two prospective son-in-law and brother were still by his side, so he couldn't delay the rest. Patting the dust on his body, Lin Xian walked over to Meng Zhongjing, who was closest to him: "Zhongjing Zhongda, let's go back to have dinner first and do it in the afternoon."

"Well, Uncle Lin, wait a moment, I'll be fine soon." Meng Zhongjing finished the bundle of wheat in his hand, and then stood up. When he got up, he couldn't help looking at the ground, but saw that his lover had led his younger brother away first. He was a little disappointed, and soon felt relieved. She was so shy that he should be content to see her from afar today.

Lin Xian led the two teenagers back together, and the two brothers Aju and his brothers had already walked a hundred steps ahead.

Although the distance was far, Aji could still feel the burning gaze falling on her body. She couldn't tell the reason, but she just felt that Meng Zhongjing was looking at her.

She couldn't help but speed up.

Lin Chongjiu pulled her hand coquettishly: "Sister, walk slowly, I can't walk..."

"Why should I carry Xiaojiu away?" Aji turned his head and said to his younger brother with a smile. If he carries his younger brother, he can only look at his younger brother.

Lin Chongjiu immediately let go of her hand, said with a tense face: "I have grown up, so I can't let my elder sister carry it anymore!"

The boy was serious, and Aji couldn't help pinching his face. Just as he was about to praise him for being sensible, a hurried sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front. The siblings looked up at the same time and saw two fast horses coming from afar. The dirt road ran through the east and west, and the road was quite wide, enough for two carriages to run in parallel, but the other party was too fast and scary for no reason. Aji hurriedly pulled his brother to the inside of him, held him forward with his left hand, and lowered his head slightly.

"Sister, look, his horse is so big!" There were only scalpers and little donkeys in the village. Lin Chongjiu rarely saw horses and couldn't help but stare at the horse running in the front.

Aji didn't look up, she was no longer a child.

Lin Chongjiu ignored her and suddenly said, "Sister, look at him, something is constantly flashing. What is that?"

Now Aji was finally curious and followed his brother's hand and looked over.

The man was wearing a black robe. When Aji looked up, the distance between the two sides was only a few dozen steps. He rode a horse through the shade of the trees, and passed by the place where there was no shade between the two trees, and his waist would flash. Aji did not look at the man's appearance, but only stared at his waist. He quickly lowered his head and explained to his younger brother: "He wore a jade pendant around his waist, and it would flash when he was shining when it was shining."

The gentle and pleasant voice was said to Lin Chongjiu, but the wind brought by the horse when it passed by was sent to the man in black.

The good horse traveled thousands of miles a day, and in just a short time, he had already traveled a long distance. At some point, he slowed down for some reason and finally stopped.

The man in black straightened his waist and back, and then turned his horse's head.

The dirt road was straight, and his gaze flew past several villagers and landed on the graceful figure in front of him.

The leaves on the top of the head are green, the soil on the left and the wheat is yellow, and the pink shirt and white skirt of the girl's house are the most dazzling and charming colors in this farmer's wheat harvest.

He stared at her back, and his mind was her soft face with her lowered eyes and smiled. At that time, the boy looked at him eagerly, and he swept away casually. He just saw the moment when she lowered her head, his face was as delicate as peach blossoms, and his eyes were as soft as water. And her voice, which was so light, he heard it magically.

His hands couldn't help but fall on the jade pendant around his waist. He rode so fast that her eyes were sharp.

"Young Master?" A horse's hooves approached behind him and asked him in confusion.

The man seemed to have not heard of it. After a moment of silence, he withdrew his gaze and continued on his horse.
