80s Taoism

The whole family was very nervous, but watching the threshing machine roaring, the nervousness could not be scrupled at all.

"Girl, Qiaoye, you two, stop tying the straw. I can't even get the grain here. Go back quickly and get a dustpan. You Ping, quickly pick up the grain and send it back." Zhang Manyin watched the grain in the threshing machine's barn quickly fill up, and hurriedly called out to Ma Donghua and Liu Qiaoye, who were scrambling to bind the straw over there.

Zhang Youping had already seen that something was wrong, and quickly moved all the grain baskets to the field. Fortunately, before the late rice harvesting, the fields had been sun-dried. It is very convenient to walk. Filled with a load of millet, Zhang Youping hurriedly carried the load and ran home.

When dividing the fields, they are all drawn by lot. As a result, some fields are far away, and some fields are close. Zhang Youping was unlucky, and all he caught were far away fields. How far away is a mile from home. It takes about ten minutes to carry a load back and forth.

If it's normal, it's nothing. I went to Zhang Youping to deliver the millet, and there were four people here, just in time to start the threshing machine. But things are a little different now. Zhang Jiaohua started the threshing machine by himself. Also faster than four strong labors. Jinhu and the others had been accumulating in the bell for such a long time, and they had become a lot stronger. The strength is much stronger than that of a young and strong labor force. And they don't tire at all. Playful and playful, the more they made Zhang Manyin and others flustered, the happier they were.

"Beggar, slow down, the threshing machine is full, and you are so fast, how can grandpa win by himself?" Liu Qiaoye couldn't help but say.

"Slow down?" Zhang Jiaohua scratched his head, how could he slow down. He himself was busy around.

"Slow down. The baskets are full. You might as well see if there are loach in the field." Liu Qiaoye quickly thought of an idea.

"Ah, catching loach? It's good to catch loach." Zhang Jiaohua threw away the straw in his hand. Jumped off the threshing machine.

Jin Hu and the others also seemed to hear that there was something more interesting, so they all stopped. The roaring threshing machine finally quieted down.

Zhang Manyin groaned, straightened up, and beat his back vigorously with his hands, "Oh, my waist!"

Just now, I picked up a few loads of millet in one breath, and I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my waist. Now that the threshing machine has stopped, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The late rice fields are relatively dry, and the loaches are hidden in the caves. In the field, you can see some relatively moist small holes, and there is usually at least one loach hidden in it. Loach in autumn is the most plump stage. Rice fields have just been harvested, so it is easiest to rummage for loaches. All the children in the village are masters at flipping loach.

"Here, here!" Zhang Jiaohua quickly found a small loach cave, and used his fingers to drill along the cave, then turned over the soil, and then drilled down a little, his fingers could touch a alive and kicking guy. Since there is no water in the rice fields, the loach has nowhere to escape. You can only accept the arrangement of fate obediently.

Zhang Jiaohua stepped on a pond the size of a bowl with his heels in the field, and then went to get some water from a place with water in the field. Put the loach you dug into the pond.

Jin Hu's method of catching loach is much less troublesome than Zhang Jiaohua's. For them, they can directly drill into the loach hole, and then directly squeeze the loach out of the hole. It looked like loaches flew out of the loach hole and automatically fell into Zhang Jiaohua's loach pond.

Liu Qiaoye frowned, "It's here again!"

Zhang Youping was out of breath, running for more than a mile, with a burden of more than one hundred catties on his shoulders. That is Zhang Youping, others are only afraid that they will have to take a rest on the road once or twice before they can pick him home.

When Zhang Youping picked the millet to his home, there was not a single chicken on the Shaigunping. The reason is very simple, the Diamond Mountain Leopard is circling around the Shaoguping of Zhang Jiaohua's house. Regardless of whether it is their own chicken or other chickens, they are chased all over the mountain by the mountain leopard before they get close to the sunguping. Many chickens saw the diamond mountain leopard from afar, and immediately turned around and ran away. The mountain leopard often goes to the mountains to bite its prey, and over time, it develops a killing spirit. Animals are very sensitive to this smell. The poultry and livestock around here dare not approach the mountain leopard at all. None of the native dogs in the village dared to measure up with the Diamond Mountain Leopard.

Zhang Youping glanced at Diamond Mountain Leopard, and smiled wryly. My own son is really unusual. Being the father of this cub is really stressful.

When he arrived at the field, he found that the threshing machine had stopped, and Zai Zai was poking his butt and looking for loach in the field.

"Beautiful, how many loaches have you found?" Zhang Youping asked cheerfully.

"It's all in there. Father, help me get an iron bucket later. I'm going to use it to hold the loach." Zhang Jiaohua looked back at Zhang Youping.

"Yes." Zhang Youping nodded. Now he is not too afraid of Zhang Jiaohua's weird things.

But Zhang Manyin and Ma Donghua's faces were a bit unhappy. What happened to Zhang Jiaohua made them startled. If the youngest son and daughter-in-law go to Guangdong next year, what will the child do? They hesitated a little.

Because the grain baskets were full, Zhang Manyin also went back with Zhang Youping to deliver the grain. Then the threshing machine was dragged forward for a while. Because both sides of the threshing machine are already full of straw, it is impossible to move.

"Biaohua, are you still going to step on the threshing machine?" Liu Qiaoye shouted.

"Come on." Zhang Jiaohua got a little tired of catching loach, Jin Hu and his team's high efficiency made Zhang Jiaohua completely lose interest in catching loach. The way they flipped the loach was too violent.

After a while, the threshing machine started to roar again.

One morning, because of the participation of Jin Hu and the others, all the two acres of land that had been mowed down in the morning were cleared up. More than 20 tans of millet, in addition to covering all the sun-dried valley flats, there is also a mountain of valleys piled up in the main room.

Zhang Youping's family has a total of more than three acres of land. Originally, they thought that they would complete the task by harvesting more than two acres today and another day tomorrow. Unexpectedly, more than two acres were completed in one morning. And the whole family is not exhausted. On the contrary, it is very easy. On the contrary, Zhang Youping, who delivered the millet, was a little tired. But he was physically strong, and that was nothing.

"Why don't we collect all the millet today." Zhang Manyin said. Anyway, I'm not very tired. After harvesting the Heping's, I can go to collect his family's two acres of fields tomorrow. This can be done in a few days when it takes ten days to harvest late rice in previous years.

"Then go harvest those scattered fields in the afternoon." Zhang Manyin also wanted to take advantage of the good weather to finish the harvest at once.

Zhang Youping took back all the rice in the four or five mu field in one day, and everyone in the village was stunned.

"Youping, what's the matter with your home harvester? Why did you take back all the millet in one day?" Zhang Enzhong asked in surprise.

"I cut down all the millet yesterday." Zhang Youping knew it was difficult to explain, so he could only make up a lie.

"Even if all the land is cut down, it will not be easy to clear four or five acres of land. I really admire you." Zhang Enzhong sighed.

Zhang Shicai and his mother-in-law went to visit relatives at their parents' house. They planned to help Zhang Youping's family the next day, but when they came back, they heard that Zhang Youping's family had harvested all the millet in one day.

"Youping, your house is too fast. I was thinking about coming here to help a little. I didn't expect your house to be closed in one day. I owe your family a debt, and I will never pay it in my life." Zhang Shicai sighed.

"Shicai, we are all brothers. Why do you say this? When you thresh millet, tell me. If my father and the others want to threat millet, I will come and help you." Zhang Youping patted Zhang Shicai on the shoulder.

"No need, no need. Our family has enough labor." How can Zhang Shicai owe Zhang Youping any more favors?

"Shicai, the two of us have been like brothers since we were young. If you say this, you are born." Zhang Youping pretended to be a little unhappy.

"All right. I will owe you for the rest of my life anyway. When I am threshing rice, I will definitely come and call you." Zhang Shicai said hastily.

The joy of the harvest could not conceal the worries of Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye.

At night, after Zhang Jiaohua fell asleep, Liu Qiaoye covered Zhang Jiaohua's quilt and returned to her room.

"Zai Zai, what do you think of what happened today?" Liu Qiaoye asked the man who was smoking a cigarette.

Zhang Youping took a puff of cigarette and frowned, "It's going to rain, mother is going to get married. I can do whatever I want with this matter. Do I still have to frown?"

That's right, this matter is not something that the couple can't stop. Liu Qiaoye also sat down on the edge of the bed weakly.

"This matter. Let's let nature take its course. Zai Zai is not an ordinary child. If those things wanted to harm him, they would have killed him a long time ago. That old Taoist priest may be our savior. With the old Taoist priest here, those things will not harm Zai Zai." Zhang Youping looked at the gloomy mother-in-law and said a word of relief.

"Well. In fact, this matter doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Our family didn't have any troubles. On the contrary, we got a lot of benefits from the beggar." Liu Qiaoye nodded.

After careful calculation, Zai Zai has earned thousands of dollars in the past few months, which is more than that of state officials. In the past few months, the family has never been short of money. No one in the family has ever had a cough. You can get what you want, and it will be smooth. This time, the harvest of late rice was originally thought to take two days to complete, but in less than a day, it was all harvested. What kind of bad thing is this? It would have been perfect if it hadn't been for Zai Zai's accident in Falling Star Lake. In this case, why bother to think so much?

The couple thought about it, but relaxed a lot. Zai Zai is capable. If he is alone at home, there is no need to worry that he will be bullied, nor that he will not have enough food and clothing to keep warm. Instead, the couple can go to Guangdong with peace of mind.

Zhang Jiaohua slept soundly, and in the dream, he entered into that person's experience again. It turned out to be back before leaving the teacher.

"Pile sitting is the basic skill of Meishan martial arts. Put your hands on your waist, squat down with your legs shoulder-width apart, your thighs should be stable, your knees should not exceed your toes, and your toes should be slightly inward. Make a fist with your left hand and place it at the level of your nose. Make a fist with your right hand until your elbow is level with your shoulders. You must sink your shoulders and elbows, pull your body back, lift your anus and draw your abdomen, sink your qi into your dantian, relax your whole body, and look straight ahead..." Zhang Jiaohua found himself squatting on a wooden stake. The bamboo stick stood in front of him fiercely.
