Sun Miao walked briskly to the desk, pulled out the stool from under the desk, turned around and sat down on it, sitting upright, looking a little impatient.
Sun Ye found it very funny. She knew that Sister Miaomiao had no resistance to such beautiful things.
"Ye Zi, hurry up, your hair is loose."
Sun Miao quickly untied the braid on his head.
Sun Ye was a little dumbfounded looking at the fluffy hair, then chuckled and said, "Sister Miaomiao, let me get a basin of water first, otherwise you know..."
Sun Ye pointed at Sun Miao's head, then leaned in to touch his fluffy, wavy hair and sighed, "You know what, he looks pretty good this way, too."
"Ye Zi, you're still making fun of me. This is not pretty at all."
Sun Miao curled his lips and scratched his hair roughly.
Sun Ye put the hairpin on the desk and went to the yard to fetch a basin of water.
He dipped the comb in some water and used it to smooth out the hair on Sun Miao's head. It was obvious that the hair was much easier to comb after being wet.
Sun Ye kept busy with her work, checking the mirror from time to time to make sure the hair was combed crookedly. After all, this was her first time combing someone else's hair and she had no experience.
Sun Miao just sat there, not daring to move, for fear that moving would ruin his hairstyle.
This hairstyle is visibly beautiful. If I ruin it because of my own reasons, I would be so upset.
Sun Ye's hairstyle was a common one in the Elf Forest in her previous life. It was simple and elegant without losing its beauty, and the hairpin was the finishing touch.
"alright."
Sun Ye pinned the hairpin on the left side of Sun Miao's bun. The hairpin sparkled in the sunlight, and the small bead on it was dazzling.
"How is it? It's okay, right?"
Sun Ye tilted his head slightly and placed his hands on Sun Miao's shoulders.
"Yes! Absolutely!"
"Ye Zi, this is so beautiful! I've never seen a hairstyle like this before. Is that me in the mirror?"
Sun Miao would hold his face in his hands from time to time and pose coquettishly in front of the person in the mirror. He was familiar with all kinds of postures.
"How can I be so beautiful? Ye Zi, look at the person in the mirror. Is she the most beautiful woman in the world? No, no, the most beautiful woman in the world is you. I won't compete with you. I'll just be second best."
Sun Ye was powerless to respond to this. Seeing that Sister Miaomiao was already obsessed with her own looks, he could only say helplessly:
"Sister Miaomiao, as long as you are happy!"
"Here, I'll put the peaches here for you. I'll take a break first, you can enjoy them slowly."
Sun Ye gave an instruction and quickly threw himself on the bed.
Sure enough, it was more comfortable to lie on the bed. I couldn't help but sigh and picked up the peach next to me and ate it with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
"Leaf, come on, let's go out for a walk."
After Sun Miao finished boasting, an idea came to his mind. He lay down next to Sun Ye and said excitedly:
"Ye Zi, come on, you've been away for a semester. Let's go to the brigade so you don't feel unfamiliar with it."
Sun Ye just looked at Sun Miao quietly, glanced at Sun Miao lightly, closed his eyes, and remained unmoved.
"Ye Zi, let's go, okay..."
"Sister Miaomiao, do you want to go out and take a look at the sky? It's noon, and the sun is so strong. I'm afraid you'll melt if you go out."
"It's not that exaggerated." Sun Miao said hesitantly and skeptically.
"Besides, everyone is resting at this time, and no one is outside. If you go out, no one will see you, and you will get sweaty in the sun."
Sun Ye gave a sincere suggestion. She could see through Sister Miaomiao's little thoughts at a glance.
Everyone loves beauty.
"Who said I was going to show it to others? I just... just..."
"That's what it is." Sun Ye looked at Sister Miaomiao leisurely, wanting to know what other reasons Sister Miaomiao could come up with.
"Oh, Ye Zi, why are you so annoying?" Sun Miao couldn't come up with any good ideas for a moment, and hit Sun Ye's little arm like a rogue.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Sun Ye couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Sister Miaomiao was still as funny as ever.
After the fight, Sun Miao always protected his hair tightly, not letting a single hair move.
"Oh, Ye Zi. I have to go home. See you this afternoon."
Sun Miao didn't know what he was thinking about. He hurriedly opened the door and ran out. Sun Ye kept shouting, "Sister Miaomiao, your peach, peach..."
"Eat the leaves, I'm busy now..."
The person had already run a long way away, and the sound came vaguely through the air.
"Sister Miaomiao is still so impetuous..." Sun Ye shook his head in amusement, picked up the peach on the table and continued to eat it.
Juicy, sweet and tender!
As expected, they are peaches from our own garden, they are so delicious.
After resting at home for more than an hour, it was time to go to work in the afternoon, and Sun Ye went to the fields with his mother.
It's not an easy job. Add some more soil to the roots of the corn. This is the second layer of soil. After burying this layer of soil, you don't have to worry about it anymore and just let it grow on its own.
Sun Ye blinked and felt a headache looking at the half-human-high lush green corn stalks. She would rather do some hard work than do this. Even if her waist was soft, she couldn't bear to be bent all the time.
"Ye Zi, don't just stand there."
Mother Sun had already gone to the edge of the field and turned over two or three corn cobs. Seeing that her daughter still didn't move, she couldn't help but say:
"Today, our mission is to finish plowing this field. Hurry up, finish it sooner and go home sooner."
"I understand." Sun Ye answered weakly. He had no other choice but to pick up the hoe and start working.
"Leaf! Leaf!"
It seemed to be Sister Miaomiao's voice. Sun Ye looked up and around, and a figure in the distance gradually became clearer.
When Sister Miaomiao came over, Sun Ye couldn't help but look her up and down.
"Sister Miaomiao, what are you doing..."
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Sun Miao turned around in front of Sun Ye, lowered his head embarrassedly, and pinched the corner of his clothes with his hand. It was obvious that he was a little shy.
It’s really not easy, Sister Miaomiao is actually shy.
However, how could she comment on this? The clothes and pants were secondary. It was just that the face and lips were a little painted red.
Sister Miaomiao works in the sun all day long, and her face has turned into a healthy wheat color. Then she puts on lipstick. Yes, the blush on her face is applied with lipstick, and some of it is not evenly spread, making Miaomiao look even darker.
"Are you taking Fourth Aunt's lipstick?"
"Yeah, I put it on secretly when my mom was at work. She kept it well and never let me put it on."
It’s right not to let you apply it.
Sun Ye added silently in his heart.
"Sister Miaomiao, come here, let me wipe it for you, yours is a little crooked."
Sun Ye couldn't bear to tell Sister Miaomiao the truth, so he could only reduce the amount of lipstick.
I stretched out my hand and saw that it was still a little dusty because I had already filled several boxes with corn. I wiped it clean on my clothes before putting it on my face.
The lipstick on her face was wiped off, and the lipstick on her lips was also much less. Sun Ye stepped back to take a look, and finally it was not as scary as the first time he saw it.
"Okay, that looks much better."
"Sister Miaomiao, you're going to work like this this afternoon..."
Sun Ye was a little hesitant. Sun Miao's job was the same as hers. The leaves in the cornfield were very painful when they cut people. Sister Miaomiao's outfit was a little too inappropriate.
"Yes, although there are some things that are not suitable, but they are not particularly beautiful. In order to show my beauty, these are all worth it. Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters."
Is this how the saying "Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters" is used?
"Mmm, beautiful!"
What else did Sun Ye have to say? He could only silently give a thumbs up. A real woman should not be afraid of any hardship. At least at this moment, Sun Ye was deeply shocked.
"I'm leaving."
Sun Miao's departing figure revealed an unspeakable joy, but Sun Ye felt a sense of tragedy.
Sister Miaomiao is really amazing!
Shaking her head, she couldn't understand this approach, but it was not impossible if it could make people happy all the time.
Sun Ye came to his senses when he saw that Sister Miaomiao had disappeared. Seeing that Sun Ma had already filled a ridge, he couldn't help but shout:
"Mom, slow down, wait for me!"
Mother Sun glanced at him and said slowly, "No hurry, we can talk for a while."
"But no one told me." Sun Ye had his own thoughts and blurted them out without thinking. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at his mother cautiously.
"Oh, then go on and talk to yourself." Mother Sun had no expression on her face and spoke in a deep voice. After she finished speaking, she bent down to turn over the soil and fill it.
There was not a trace of wind, and the air was extremely hot. The only sound in the fields was that of Sun's mother working alone.
Sun Ye looked up at the sky and wanted to say a few words to defend himself, but then he changed his mind and decided to hold back his saliva.
He picked up the hoe and joined Sun Ma's work team without saying a word, filling the soil and weeding.
My hands are a little unfamiliar, but that doesn't matter. I'll get proficient after a few hoeings, and the enthusiasm for work will come back.
The cornfield is not only planted with corn, but also with mung beans. The thin seedlings are not as well grown as the weeds. If you are not careful, the bean seedlings will be broken into several sections with a hoe.
Looking at the colorful bean sprouts, Sun Ye's thoughts flew away. She vaguely remembered that when she just started working, she accidentally shoveled the bean sprouts. She was afraid of being scolded by her mother, so she shoveled them into pieces with roots and leaves, and tried to hide them in the grass, thinking that no one would know she had done anything bad.
Unexpectedly, Sun's mother was worried about her working alone, so she followed her and witnessed the whole process of her crime scene. When she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Sun's mother coughed inadvertently, which scared her. As for what happened next, she couldn't remember it clearly now. She only remembered the beginning, which was lingering and could not be erased.
Sun Ye couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this, and he quietly looked behind him to see if his mother was still following him.
Of course, Sun's mother didn't follow, and Sun Ye no longer had any extra thoughts. He focused on filling the soil and turning the earth, and putting on thick earth shoes for the corn.
The sun hangs meticulously in the sky, silently watching the people working in the fields. It flashes inadvertently and hides in the clouds to cool down. It is also very tired and hot, so how can it not want to cool down?
"Leaf, take a break, let's go get some water."
Mother Sun supported her waist with one hand, took off her hat with the other hand, and fanned herself constantly, trying to cool down.
Her forehead was covered in sweat. Sun Ye looked over and saw black streaks of dirt on her mother's neck, like special necklaces adorning her neck.
"Oh, well, I'll just finish filling this nest."
Sun Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't care whether his hands were dirty or if there was any dirt on them. After all, it was very uncomfortable to have sweat dripping into his eyes.
"Then hurry up."
Mother Sun left the cornfield first, sat down under a tree at the edge of the field, turned on the kettle, and gulped down the water.
Sun Ye filled the soil in a few strokes and put the hoe in the ground. He would come back later.
As soon as Sun Ye sat down on the ground, his mother handed him the kettle. Sun Ye put it to his mouth and took a few big gulps before he felt alive again.
It's really painful to do this job in this weather.
There was no sound of insects chirping in the field. Sun Ye leaned lazily against the roots of a tree, looking up at the tree. The tree was drooping from the sun and looked lifeless.
The high-pitched scream of cicadas was heard above his head. Sun Ye couldn't help rubbing his ears and stood up.
The shouting was so deafening, as if someone was shouting into her ears, as if they were afraid that she would be deaf.
Sun Ye searched inch by inch along the bark. The cicada's body was very similar to the branches of the tree, and it would be missed if he glanced wrongly.
Sure enough, just where Sun Ye could reach, a cicada was singing loudly, as if afraid that others couldn't hear it, showing its high-profile presence.
I gently grabbed the cicada's sides and pinched it. The cicada's screaming suddenly stopped, and the tree became much quieter.
"Mom, look."
Sun Ye waved the cicada in front of his mother's eyes, and with his other hand he pulled a piece of dogtail grass from the ground to tease the cicada's belly. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the cicada's little claws shaking rapidly.
Should!
She told you to keep barking, which she thinks is for its own good, to give it a break and not to damage its voice. It would be terrible if it couldn't bark anymore.
Sun Ye was thinking to himself happily, with the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time. Sun's mother glanced at him and didn't say anything, but her expression was not very good.
Ye Zi must be confused because of going to college. What's so strange about a cicada? Could it be that he is confused because of his work?
The more he thought about it, the more this made sense. He touched Sun Ye's head and said hesitantly:
"Ye Zi, if you want to do the hard work, go back first. There's still work left. I can finish it if I work harder."
"Hmm? Not tired, not tired."
Sun Ye shook his head hurriedly. He had only been working for less than two hours, so how could he feel comfortable complaining about being tired?
"Are you really not tired?"
"Not tired."
"Don't be so stubborn. If you're tired, just stop and rest. This job isn't urgent."
Sun Ye's mother had seen Sun Ye's stubbornness before. Since he was not tired, he should work harder. The work in the fields was worth work points, and work points were money. The family's income depended on the work in the fields.
"I know, this little bit of work won't tire me out."
"You're talking nonsense." Mother Sun said unhappily. No one doesn't complain of being tired after doing farm work.
The two continued to rest for a while, and when they felt they were about ready, they went back into the cornfield to sweat.
When the sun sets, the brigade's work bell slowly rings, and Sun Ye and his mother carry their hoes and walk home, shaking their steps.
On the way back, there was an inevitable round of greetings. The uncles and aunts in the team asked questions one after another, and Sun Ye didn't have time to answer them. Fortunately, Sun's mother came to the rescue and Sun Ye was able to catch his breath.
After finally arriving home, Sun Ye washed his face. Before he had a good rest, his mother told him to go to the field to pick some cabbages and peppers for dinner.
Sun Ye stood up, sighed deeply, took the basket of vegetables handed to him by his mother, and walked to the edge of the vegetable field.
The vegetables in the family's private plot are growing very well. Sun Ye doesn't make much choices. After all, all the vegetables are equally delicious. There is no difference. It doesn't matter whether you eat them in the morning or in the evening.
As for the chili peppers, just pick a few red ones. This chili pepper is good for stir-frying and eating with rice. In other words, it is very spicy.
When Sun Ye was about to leave, he saw the fresh cucumber and couldn't help but walk towards it. He didn't react until the cucumber was in his mouth.
Mmm, delicious!
When I got home, the cucumber had been eaten up, so I went to the sink to wash the cabbage.
"Mom, the vegetables are done."
"Bring it in when it's ready."
Mother Sun was already busy preparing dinner. Seeing Sun Lin squatting by the stove, Sun Ye knew that her work was done.
For dinner, there was a dish of smashed cucumber and a dish of spicy stir-fried cabbage, which was pretty good. Sun Ye enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, the men in the family went out to the river to soak in the water, leaving only Sun Ma and Sun Ye at home.
"Leaf, come on, let's go out for a walk."
After taking a shower, I felt much refreshed and my hair was spread out behind me. In this kind of weather, it would be completely dry in a short while.
Mother Sun went to Fourth Aunt's house. Just then, Sun Miao was about to go out to play with Sun Ye, so the two of them walked back to the team together.
"Ye Zi, you don't know, there are so many people looking at me today, all with such envious eyes..."
“…”
"Why are you envious?" In order to let Sun Miao continue talking, Sun Ye spoke slowly. She had paid a lot for Sister Miaomiao.
"I envy you for having a good sister."
This answer was beyond Sun Ye's expectation. She was stunned for a moment. She thought Sister Miaomiao would answer about her hairstyle and her beauty.
"Really?"
"Of course. Who else in this town would have such a wonderful sister like me? Those people are so envious that their eyes are red with envy."
"Others also envy me for having a good sister."
Sun Ye looked at Sun Miao who was striding ahead, and muttered to himself.
"Ye Zi, hurry up, let's go to the river and watch them catch fish and shrimp."
"Okay, here I come!"
He shook his head and chuckled, then caught up with Sun Miao and walked towards the river.
There were aunts beating clothes by the river, and above them was a shallow riverbank where a group of young boys were playing and fighting in the river, their shouting deafening.
Sun Ye's second brother was among them. When Sun Ye arrived, Sun Lin was bending over and sifting through the ditch with a tattered sieve.
It seems like nothing was gained.
This thought flashed through Sun Ye's mind.
"Brother, did you catch anything?"
"Little sister, you're here."
"There is nothing on this riverbank. They have all been caught by others." Sun Lin scratched his head. It was usually like this. It was rare to catch anything.
"How about I give it a try?" Sun Ye was eager to try. She had never been to the river many times in her life.
"Little sister, please don't do that. If my parents knew I asked you to go down the river, they would skin me alive." Sun Lin tried to stop her again and again. There were no girls on the riverbank, only a bunch of ruffians. How could he let his little sister go down?
There were many people standing nearby to enjoy the cool breeze, both men and women.
Sun Ye's enthusiasm slowly died down in Sun Lin's eyes, and he said, "Then second brother, you must catch some fish."
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? I haven't caught a single fish here yet." Sun Lin spoke in a low voice and Sun Ye didn't hear what he said.
"Second brother, what are you talking about? Speak louder."
"I'm sure I'll catch some fish, little sister. Just wait and see."
Lose the battle but not the battle!
As soon as Sun Lin finished speaking, the guys in the river sighed, clearly showing that they were not optimistic about Sun Lin. Everyone in the river knew each other, and anyone could catch a fish, except Sun Lin, whose luck was extremely good.
Sun Lin poured water on those who were not optimistic about him. Does he still have any empathy? Are they still good friends? Where can he put his face after being sabotaged?
The river was churning and people started having a water fight.
"Ye Zi, come here, let's sit here."
Sun Miao found a seat early and did not notice the conversation between Sun Ye and Sun Lin. He waved to Sun Ye.
Sun Ye concealed the disappointment in his heart, walked quickly towards Sun Miao, and sat down with Sun Miao.
The people in the river dispersed again. Sun Lin glanced at Sun Ye's position and secretly encouraged himself. He must catch a fish and a few shrimps today. His little sister was watching over there, and his prestige must not be destroyed.
But the reality is cruel. When the moon rises high in the sky, Sun Lin's bucket is still empty.
The people living by the river went home one after another, leaving only Sun Lin struggling in the river.
"Brother, let's go home."
Sun Ye was squatting by the river. Sun Miao was called back home by his fourth aunt to look after Sun He, so only a few members of the Sun family were left by the river.
Dad Sun sat leisurely on the stone bench, looking at Sun Lin who was still struggling in the river, and was silent for a moment.
"Dad, can I go to the river to help my second brother?"
Father Sun glanced at his daughter, then looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he was silent for a while, nodded, and said:
"Just pull your pants up to your knees, and you won't get them wet down there."
"Great!" Sun Ye cheered, immediately rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes, and jumped into the river.
"Brother, let's see who catches more fish and shrimp." Sun Ye was in high spirits and very excited to be able to go down to the river to play.
Sun Lin was silent. With his luck, was there any need to compare?
Can I just admit defeat?
Would it be unbrotherly of me to admit defeat?
"If you don't say anything, you agree. I'm about to start, second brother."
Sun Ye was unarmed and was quite confident that he could catch fish and shrimp.
Before Sun Lin could say anything, he saw his little sister ready to strike, pouting constantly, and he had lost all his brotherly spirit.
Even if he lost, he had to lose gracefully. Sun Lin cheered up, picked up his tool - a broken sieve, and sank into the water step by step.
Sun Sen and his father watched the game calmly, not worried at all that Sun Ye would lose. As for Sun Lin losing, it was a common occurrence, so it wouldn't be a big deal if it happened one more time.
Sun Ye had no time to care about anything. He was concentrating on feeling the movement in the water. It seemed that something was touching his feet little by little.
Sun Ye bent down calmly, and the slight movement of his hand entering the water startled the creatures in the water. Sun Ye held his breath, not daring to breathe or move his hand.
Sun Lin did not notice anything unusual about Sun Ye in the other direction and was still concentrating on his sieve.
The little thing under his feet didn't seem to notice any danger and began to kiss Sun Ye's feet again.
His hands slowly slid into the water inch by inch, and were gently placed next to his feet. He bent his waist and remained in the same position motionlessly.
The little creature in the water was still swimming happily. Sun Ye pursed his lips and grabbed the little creature in the water with lightning speed.
His heart was beating like a drum, and Sun Ye held the fish body tightly with both hands. Yes, Sun Ye was sure it was a fish, and it looked quite big.
"Hua——" With the sound of water breaking, Sun Ye smiled and turned around and said to Sun Lin with a smile:
"Brother, I'm already open, you have to keep working hard."
Sun Ye held the fish that was twisting back and forth and walked step by step towards the empty bucket on the shore.
"Wow, this fish sounds quite big." Dad Sun took a look at the fish in Sun Ye's hand. At first he thought it was a small shrimp, but unexpectedly it was a fish the size of a palm.
"There are actually such big fish in this river. I thought there were no more of them in the river."
Sun Sen also saw it, walked over to the bucket and took a look. Well, it was the guy he couldn't catch.
He looked at Sun Lin, who was standing there dumbfounded, with sympathy and said, "Take care, you've really lost everything this time."
Sun Lin also followed to the side of the bucket and stared blankly at the lively fish, feeling a little empty.
Looking at his little sister who was still catching fish and shrimps in the river, he felt it was so hard. He thought about how long he had been catching fish and shrimps in this river, but he had never caught such a big fish. No, it should be said that he had never even touched the tail of the fish.
It’s so depressing!
The sieve was placed on the shore and he gave up resistance.
Then it was Sun Ye's turn to perform. The three father and son just watched Sun Ye put the fish one by one into the bucket, their eyes following Sun Ye's figure.
silence!
shock!
Silence spread among the three fathers and sons. They looked at each other. If their heads were not still moving, they would be no different from stone sculptures.
"Forest! Forest! Leaves!"
Sun Ma's voice rang out, breaking the silence. Sun Dad and the others came back to their senses and responded:
"Mom, we're here by the river."
When Sun's mother appeared, she saw several grown men surrounding a bucket, while her daughter was busy working in the river alone.
Sun's mother slapped Sun's father on the back and said with gritted teeth:
"Sun! Xue! Jun! The three of you just stood there watching and let Ye Zi go into the water."
"No, no, look..." Dad Sun grimaced in disbelief after being slapped, and Mom Sun showed no mercy. The sound of the slap made Sun Sen and Sun Lin tremble uncontrollably.
They all gave Sun's father a thumbs-up implicitly, expressing their deep admiration for him, but received a big eye roll from him.
Dad Sun made way, and the half-bucket of fish jumped and tumbled in the bucket.
Mother Sun stood there in a daze, rubbing her eyes in disbelief, fearing that she was seeing things.
