Liu Guodong has been getting along very well with his family these days, which has made him feel a lot of warmth, especially since he has not yet called them mom and dad.
They didn't mind at all and didn't bring it up.
The potatoes in the field have a good harvest, and he is going to harvest them today.
Xie Ping saw his youngest son taking a basket and finding several bags going in and out, so he guessed that he must have to go to the fields to work today.
They didn't go to the fields these days, and they didn't know where the fields were. Although he worked in the city, he had also done work in the countryside. Everyone has experienced a few years of hard times.
"Guodong, do you want to go to work?"
Liu Guodong, "Well, the potatoes in the field need to be harvested. They said it will rain in the next few days, so it's better to harvest them in advance, otherwise the potatoes will rot in the field when it rains."
Xie Ping, "Then we'll go to the fields with you, finish the harvest quickly, and rest early!"
"No need for that!" Liu Guodong felt embarrassed to ask them to work.
Xie Ping raised his hand and touched his son's head. "Silly boy, why are you being so polite to your dad? I am your dad!"
Liu Guodong felt warm in his heart, "Then you can go with us."
"Be good!" Xie Ping took his hand back. Now he could at least touch his son's head. It should be soon before his son calls him dad.
He went back to the house and called his eldest son and daughter-in-law. They changed into dirt-resistant clothes and then followed him to the fields.
The news that Liu Guodong's parents were coming had spread a long time ago, but they didn't have much contact with each other on a regular basis, so even if the villagers wanted to come and watch the fun, they had no reason to do so.
So when the whole family went to work in the fields with tools, they attracted everyone's attention.
"Guodong, bring your parents to work together?"
"Guodong, is that your brother behind you? Does he look like you?"
This was the kind of talk he heard along the way, and he responded politely to all of them.
Until he arrived at the potato field and met Grandma Wang from the village. Seeing her putting potatoes into a basket, he hurried over to help.
When Grandma Wang saw that the basket was full, she stood up and said, "Guodong, come to my house for dinner when you have time! You can bring your parents and brother with you. I'll kill the goose at home and treat you!"
Liu Guodong, "Grandma, I understand. I will take them there when I have time!"
Grandma Wang took the initiative to step forward and shook his hand, "Good children must live a happy life!"
Liu Guodong nodded to indicate that he understood.
Grandma Wang carried the basket back to the village, walking very fast. She didn't look like a person in her 60s at all, but rather like a person in her 40s.
Xie Ping saw that the land behind his son was well planted, and there were no weeds in the land, which showed that he had taken good care of it.
The old lady walked with a swift movement, and he originally wanted to help her deliver the potatoes because she walked so swiftly. If he carried a basket of potatoes back, he would not be able to walk as swiftly as her.
"Guodong, is this all the land?"
Liu Guodong nodded, then put on gloves and began to pull out the potato vines one by one.
Xie Jiajun had never done any geography work before, but when he saw his brother working, he couldn't help but put on gloves and start working with him.
There are a lot of crickets jumping around in the potato vines.
He had played with this thing with others when he was a child, and he didn't know that crickets grew in potato vines.
The family worked quickly and the potato vines were cleared away quickly.
Liu Guodong started to dig the ground with tools. His movements were very gentle, and the soil was turned up along the way, and the potatoes underground fell out.
It is quite large and plump, and the golden color is very pleasing.
Gao Lan picked up a big potato and showed it to her eldest son. "Look, this is a freshly unearthed potato. Put it in the pot and stew it with meat. It's delicious."
"Mom, so this is how potatoes are grown!" Xie Jiajun picked up a big potato, weighed it casually, and felt that it was at least half a pound and was too big.
"These potatoes are growing so big!"
Liu Guodong was responsible for digging the ground in front and they were responsible for picking potatoes.
Xie Ping was digging the ground on the other side. His movements were slower than his son's as he was afraid of digging up potatoes, but he was working just as hard as ever as he hadn't been so active for a long time.
The whole family worked together and soon most of the land was finished.
Liu Guodong was tired and decided to take a break. Seeing their faces were red with sweat,
"Let's take a break!"
Gao Lan straightened her back and said, "I haven't worked like this for a long time. I used to do this when I was a kid! At that time, your grandma wouldn't let me do it!
What do you mean girls, they start working when they are young and work for the rest of their lives when they grow up! "
After hearing this, they all laughed and went to sit in a shady place nearby.
Liu Guodong took out the bottle he brought with him, handed it to them, and asked them to drink. He only drank after they finished drinking.
Gao Lan took out a handkerchief and tentatively extended it to her younger son. Seeing that he had no objection, she wiped his sweat with it. Then she turned the handkerchief over and wiped the sweat off her older son.
After she finished wiping with this handkerchief, she wiped the sweat off her man.
"I'm the last one?" Xie Ping began to feel jealous of his two sons. "You two must have been your mother's lovers in your previous life. I'm here to pay off my debt in this life!"
The two brothers couldn't help laughing.
Gao Lan casually threw the handkerchief at the man's face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in such a hot day!
This handkerchief is for you, wipe it yourself!"
"Okay, I'll wipe it myself!" Xie Ping wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, which was completely soaked.
Gao Lan thought of a stream she saw on the way here, "It's so hot today, let's go to the stream and wash our faces!"
Liu Guodong, "Xiaoxi is not far ahead. You should have seen her when you came. I won't go over. I have to stay and look at the potatoes."
"Okay, then let's go quickly and come back quickly!" Just as Gao Lan was about to leave, she saw a snake. The snake was completely black and its target was her youngest son's hand.
It was too late to speak, so she could only cover it with her hand.
When Liu Guodong reacted, the person had already thrown himself into his arms, and then he heard a scream, "Ah!"
Gao Lan was bitten hard on the palm of her hand by the snake, and she screamed several times in pain.
When Liu Guodong saw the snake, he thought it was terrible because it was a poisonous snake. Although its venom was not that severe, it was still a poisonous snake.
And the snake should have been about to attack him from that position just now.
It was the woman in front of him who blocked it for him regardless of everything. He was so moved that he cried at this moment.
"Is this snake poisonous?" Xie Ping asked anxiously.
Liu Guodong didn't bother to talk to him. He lowered his head to suck out the poisonous blood from his palm and then spit it out on the ground.
He moved very quickly, and did not stop until bright red blood began to flow out. Then he picked up the bottle beside him and rinsed his mouth.
This scene frightened them. Although they knew that the snake venom had to be sucked out as soon as possible to keep it secret, seeing it was another matter.
