Chapter 426 Zhang Ping and Bai Xue

Chapter 426 Zhang Ping and Bai Xue

At noon, some relatives from Zhou Yang’s family had already arrived, the children in the school had finished school, and it was time for the feast.

The task of serving food was left to the young people who were not yet married and had a family, and they really performed their duties.

In the past, Zhang An was also one of the people responsible for serving food. At that time, he was carrying the dishes on the square plate and wanted to eat them just looking at them.

Especially the hot dishes that have just been steamed. When you hold them, the aroma penetrates your nose, making it hard not to be greedy.

When he went to the woman's house to pick up the bride the next morning, Zhang An would definitely go with him.

This is Huang Ming's firm request. When Zhou Yang accepted the bride, the scene scared him, so without Zhang An following him, he would feel very insecure.

The woman’s family is not from an ethnic minority and does not have any special customs, so everything just goes with the flow.

However, the woman’s family did not seem to be prepared to embarrass Huang Ming, the son-in-law, and the process was carried out in a strict manner.

So Zhang An followed and was not of use, and completely acted as a driver.

After Huang Ming's marriage was over, the people in the village became completely busy.

Some of the early-maturing rapeseed in the field are already harvesting time, and even the late-maturing varieties cannot wait more than a few days.

The rapeseed in Zhang An's house are all early-maturing varieties, so they have to be taken back these days.

Whether it is rapeseed in May or rice in October, they are all crops that need to be harvested.

When it's time to harvest, you have to harvest it. It doesn't even need hail from the sky. It only takes a heavy rain to knock all the rapeseeds to the ground, leaving no harvest.

Early in the morning, Zhang Jianguo got up and was carrying the whetstone he dug out in the yard to polish the sickle he would use at home today.

"Dad, don't miss out on sharpening the sickle today."

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. This saying makes perfect sense.

When Zhang An was harvesting rice last year, he forgot to touch a sickle.

At that time, Zhang An was assigned the sickle. Originally, the rice was harvested with one knife, but it took several knives to cut it off.

Not only is the efficiency several times slower, the key is that using the sickle like that hurts the palm of the hand.

Although Zhang An kept spitting into his palm that time, several big blisters appeared on his hand after cutting for a long time.

So when Zhang Jianguo touched the sickle today, Zhang An quickly spoke up and warned him.

After all, he is the victim, and he doesn’t want to have the experience he had last year again.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you forget to grind it. When you leave later, just take the small piece of grinding stone you have at home with you."

Rural Area Household sharpening stones are basically dug from the mountains, and no one would go to the street to buy them.

This stone is red in color. Zhang An doesn’t know its specific name, but the knives ground with it are very sharp, so everyone calls this stone a grindstone.

This kind of grinding stone is generally relatively large, and one piece can be used for decades.

Zhang An’s family used to have a piece of it, but it was dug out by his grandfather when he was young and used for decades.

However, it was ground too small and was not very convenient to use, so Zhang Jianguo dug up another piece.

As for the fragment of the grinding stone left in the family that has been passed down for three generations, it is very useful for sharpening kitchen knives, so I have never been willing to throw it away, maybe out of emotion.

After breakfast and after Su Ying packed up and went to school, the family of three went to the fields with their sickles.

After the rapeseed is cut, it cannot be threshed immediately. It needs to be exposed to the sun for at least a day before threshing is easier.

So the Zhang An family also looked at the good weather in the past two days and hurriedly cut it first.

It should be noted that on a June day, a child’s face can cry whenever he wants and laugh whenever he wants.

After all, it is only May, and it is not yet June when God is capricious.

"Zhang An, your family is going to the fields to cut rapeseed."

I met many villagers on the road, and everyone greeted each other.

“Yes, taking advantage of the good weather these two days, my family is planting early-maturing varieties this year, so I’ll go and cut them quickly.”

Before Zhang An spoke, Wang Fang Just started chatting with them.

"Then I'll go and help your family cut it together. Anyway, I can't cut the rapeseeds at my house, so I'll just go to your house to find a meal."

After saying a few words, a few maids He took the initiative and offered to help Zhang An's family cut rapeseed.

"You can come anytime you want to eat. You will never be hungry. But my family only has a few acres of rapeseed and it was cut in two days. How can I trouble you."

This kind of person who comes to help is not motivated by money, and the Zhang An family has no intention of spending money to hire people, because their family only has a few acres of crops in total, so there is no need to rush.

When people take the initiative to speak, it is because they are doing favors. Generally, only people with a good relationship will say this.

However, Wang Fang did not intend to accept it. After all, favor is the most difficult thing to repay, and it is not worthwhile to spend it on such a non-urgent matter.

"Anyway, we are idle. Let's finish cutting your rapeseeds today and wait until your rapeseeds are beaten tomorrow, so that your family Zhang An can teach us how to get pollen."
< br>It turned out that these maids wanted to help Zhang An collect the rapeseeds quickly so that Zhang An could teach them how to pollinate kiwi fruits.

Because they are all families who grow kiwi fruits at home, and they are the ones who grow a lot of them.

The kiwi fruit has gradually bloomed in the past two days, and it is time for pollination.

Even if they didn't tell them about this, Zhang An would still find time to teach them.

After all, Zhang An still pays attention to word of mouth when it comes to after-sales service.

However, they don’t think so, because they plant a lot at home, and they are worried that Zhang Anjiao will be late and they will not have time to pollinate them all, which will affect the yield.

But they would be embarrassed to talk to Zhang An now, because Zhang An's family was busy harvesting crops.

So they planned to make an appointment to help Zhang An's family cut the rapeseeds, so that Zhang An could go over in advance and teach them.

And they felt that since they had a favor to help cut rapeseed, Zhang An must be more careful than others when teaching.

Now that things have come to this point, Wang Fang must not be able to refuse anymore, otherwise people will think you are trying to shirk, and you must have something in mind.

As a result, Zhang An’s family originally had three people harvesting rapeseed, but in the end it became seven or eight people.

According to this number of people, the rapeseed that originally took two days to be harvested can be harvested before evening today, and all can be harvested and taken home tomorrow.

But that’s okay. If you cut it early, you can get more sun.

After harvesting the rapeseeds, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were responsible for drying them, while Zhang An went to teach other people how to pollinate kiwis.

Originally, he planned to wait until he was done with his work at home, and then take some time to call everyone together and teach them uniformly, which would be more convenient.

But the families who took the initiative to help their families cut rapeseed obviously wanted Zhang An to open a small stove for them.

You have already given your sincerity to others, so you have to give them some attitude.

Although Zhang An believes that unified teaching and separate classes have the same effect, they will be much happier if they teach alone.

So Zhang Anzhen spent two days teaching them step by step.

Maybe it’s because of the small class teaching and the high quality of one-to-one teaching, so they all learn faster.

However, Zhang An did not mention the fact that bees can pollinate.

Because Zhang An discovered that although the kiwi flowers planted outside have nectaries inside the flowers, the smell that can attract bees is too weak, so few bees will fly over.

However, this method is not impossible, it just needs to take the beehive to the orchard. But the problem is that Zhang An's family doesn't have that many bees now. There are only a dozen boxes in total, which have been given to the second uncle and third uncle's family.

If you tell people this, they will definitely feel resentful if they want to borrow Beezi but fail to do so.

So Zhang An plans to tell everyone next year, because by next year, the beekeepers in the village will definitely have larger bee colonies.

Let’s talk about this matter when the time comes. People who like kiwi fruit will definitely find those who keep bees in order to save some time.

In this way, a win-win situation can be achieved. People who grow kiwifruit can save the need for artificial pollination, and people who keep bees can also produce more honey.

In the evening, Zhang An came to Zhang Ping's house before it got dark.

Those families have been taken care of, but there are still many families left in the village.

So Zhang An plans to come to Zhang Jianwen and ask him to use the loudspeaker to announce that everyone will be gathered together tomorrow.

Teach them the process of artificial pollination and explain why it is necessary.

“Hey, Bai Xue, why are you here, are you alone?”

However, Zhang An seemed to have arrived at the wrong time. There seemed to be someone at Zhang Ping's home at the moment.

And Zhang An also knew this person, he was Bai Xue from the Forestry Bureau.

Zhang Ping was also at home, and the two of them were talking and laughing, but Zhang An didn't see his uncle and aunt.

Zhang An is sure that Bai Xue only came here this afternoon, because Zhang Ping happened to go to the city at noon.

"I...I just came here to play, just me."

Bai Xue, who was still talking to Zhang Ping at first, became a little nervous after seeing Zhang An. say.

As a result, Zhang An's words made the girl blush.

Zhang Ping next to him also looked shy, not as calm as usual.

“Something is wrong, something is wrong between you two. Tell me honestly, when did it start.”

Zhang An is a person who has been here before. When he saw the situation at the scene, he didn’t understand what was going on. the whole story.

However, one was his friend and the other was his colleague, so Zhang An had the idea of ​​teasing them both.

"I...I...I...you...you...how do you know."

Bai Xue's face was already red with embarrassment, and her head was buried on the ground.

In the end, it was Zhang Ping who answered. After all, he is a man and he has to be a little responsible at this time, but he still stuttered and looked shy.

"No need to ask, look at you like this, anyone with eyes can see it, but why are you two so shy? This is such a normal thing."

Zhang An was speechless, brother, you are just interacting with girls normally, why do you feel as guilty as if you have done something wrong? He was really convinced by Zhang Ping.

"And Bai Xue, you have been burying your head like this, you don't plan to talk to me anymore."

After hearing Zhang An's words, Bai Xue became more cautious, but The blush on his face still hadn't faded at all.

But at this time, the old uncle and the old aunt came out of the kitchen in the back room, which could be regarded as a relief for these two people.

Zhang An could tell that the uncle and the aunt were very happy now, with happy smiles on their faces.

The old couple were not in the main room just now, presumably because they wanted to make some space for Zhang Ping and Bai Xue.

I heard Zhang An coming later and came out of the kitchen.

"Anzi is here, we just want to have a drink together."

It has been a while since Bai Xue came here, and now the old aunt has prepared dinner.

Zhang Jianwen ignored the three-seven-twenty-one and dragged Zhang An to the table.

"Uncle, you can just eat. My family has already eaten. I came here to ask you for something."

Zhang An was a little dumbfounded. He had already eaten at home, so He refused.

"You can have some more after you've eaten. Come hold the bowl and I'll pour you some wine."

If Zhang An said he had eaten in the past, Zhang Jianwen would definitely not Please advise again.

But today is different. Zhang Jianwen didn't care what Zhang An said, he picked up the wine and poured it for him.

He guessed that he was too happy today, so Zhang An had to drink this meal even if he didn't, because he couldn't run away.

After the meal, the two finally got used to it. They were not as shy as before and were able to talk to Zhang An normally.

The two are indeed in love, but they only started recently.

In fact, although Zhang Ping and Bai Xue have known each other for a long time, they are just acquaintances and not too familiar.

But when Zhang Ping was training and studying in the city at the beginning of the year, one time Bai Xue got off work late and met some gangsters on his way home.

The security on the streets in this era was not good, and there were many young people everywhere who went out to join the society before finishing school.

Bai Xue went home that night and met a group of gangsters on the street.

If he were a man, he would probably be laundered and robbed by them, but Bai Xue was a girl and pretty good-looking, so they teased her in the street.

To put it bluntly, just when they were preparing to play tricks on Bai Xue, Zhang Ping happened to pass by.

Ever since, Zhang Ping, who had been in the army for so many years, performed a live drama of a hero saving a beauty.

Bai Xue was also very grateful to Zhang Ping who appeared in time and saved her, and even had a good impression.

But if the two of them started to come into contact because of this, then Zhang Ping would not be the Zhang Ping he knew.

From then on, Zhang Ping only became familiar with Bai Xue.

As for how the two started, it had to do with Huang Ming’s marriage.

The four of them used to be jokingly called the Four Heavenly Kings in the village.

But not now. Zhang An and Zhou Yang have gotten married one after another. Even the youngest Huang Ming has a partner and got married a few days ago.

He is the only one left among the four great kings who is single and is the oldest.

The uncle and the aunt were really anxious. During that time, the two old men had been doing ideological work for him with sincerity, and it did work in the end.

But when the old aunt wanted to find someone to introduce him to a blind date, he rejected her.

When it comes to finding a partner, the first thing he thinks of is Bai Xue.

Instead of getting to know some unknown people, it would be better to try to get in touch with Bai Xue.

The two of them are relatively familiar with each other. The most important thing is that Bai Xue is pretty. What man wouldn’t like a beautiful girl?

So some time ago, Zhang Ping found an opportunity and stammered to Bai Xue that he wanted to have sex with her.

Bai Xue had a good impression of him in her heart, but seeing this stone suddenly enlightened her, she shyly agreed.

Although Zhang Ping doesn't like to talk much, Bai Xue's parents like his honest manner very much and feel that their daughter will definitely not suffer when the two of them get together.

So when everything came together, Zhang Ping brought Bai Xue back.
