Qi Yanzhou, seeing that his brother was unhappy and not willing to talk, even the chattering Qi Ku was also not saying anything. The usual lively lunch at the table was a little dull, even when his mother told him that a few kids wanted to set up a tutorial class and would be feeding the corn and fertilizer for the next two days. Qi Yuan thought for a while and then said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll go back and forth in the fields and I think I'll be able to finish this job by the time we finish it, so it's not too late for our second uncle to go back and forth."

Mama Qi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, I'll be disappointed if I finish my work earlier."

He thought about the lottery ticket and how he had to go to the provincial capital to get the prize money. Now that the train had not picked up speed, it was hard for him to get back home in one day, so he thought about it for a long time. After thinking about it, he decided to wait until the end of the tutorial class to get it.

Having made up his mind, Qi Zhengyuan felt as if a huge rock in his heart had dropped to the ground. He breathed out in relief, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At more than 2 in the afternoon, when his mother went upstairs to wake the siblings up, Mr Qi had already left for his grandma's house. One had to admit that Mr and Mrs Qi were good role models for his siblings. Regardless of whether it was spring, summer, or autumn, during the night, Mama Qi was recognized as a good daughter-in-law in the village. She was filial to her in-laws, kind to her sister-in-law, and fond of her neighbors, and her own children, not to mention that even the children of her uncles liked her kind eldest aunt. Sometimes, Qi Chuan also thought that his relationship with Zheng Jincheng had reached such a terrible stage that it had a lot to do with his mother's influence, and in exchange for her filial piety, she had always felt that as long as she was filial to him, she would still not get used to it. Qi Xiang did not consider Zheng Jincheng's mother as a bully who feared the strong. If he had been tough from the start, then there might not have been any more matters to deal with in the future.

After washing up, the siblings rode their bicycles to the village's second grandpa's house.

The second grandfather's house was in the village, with a small courtyard, four main houses, and two rooms on the left and right. The second grandfather's house was in the village, with a small courtyard, four main houses, and two rooms on the right and on the left.

The two big cocks had already been slaughtered and cleaned, ready to be chopped and fried in a frying pan. A big white silver carp had also been cleaned and placed in a basin, and a few white and fat lotus seeds had been washed and placed in a basin. The two cousins who had been married came back to help, and Mrs Qi went to the courtyard to say hello to her second grandpa and second grandma before helping to chop the lotus seeds.

Little Uncle had been married for more than a year and still had no children. He worked with Little Aunt in a business in town and both of them had married not far away. Their families consisted of honest people, including a girl in the lobby and a boy in the second house.

He saw that in a short while, his mother's hands and feet had finished chopping off the meat stuffing. She took the washed white lotus root and sliced it into two pieces deeply, the two pieces were connected, there was a meat stuffing between them, a few lotus seeds were cut in a short time, and this was a technical work for his mother and his two aunts. Qi Ju remembered that he really wanted to eat this for a while, so he prepared it himself.

After that, she pressed the two lotus roots with her hands and placed them on a plate, making sure that it wasn't as if she was doing it herself. After filling up the meat stuffing, she even had to use her chopsticks to take a sip of the meat stuffing that came out, talking about how there was going to be a very good one in their village this year's college entrance exam. When she heard that they had signed up for a school in Shanghai, she asked about it and then paused and said, "The results are not ideal, even the school can be used as a conditioner, but I don't know which school they can go to." Qi Ju listened to her clearly, but he could not say anything as he sat there picking the celery leaves. Although the aunt did not say anything later, Qi Ju also felt that it was like sitting on pins and needles. Qi Ju looked at Qi Xun, who was looking at his uncle's cooking pot, and waved for her to come over and whisper something into her ear. Qi Ju did not hear her clearly, but Qi Xun ran over to his mother and said, "Mom, Wen Bo said that there are a lot of fish in the reservoir above the river, so why don't we go take a look?"

His mother said, "Go, go. Don't stay too long, just go to your third uncle's house and see if his apple orchard is done."

Qi Yuan saw that his sisters had left, so he quickly jumped on the bicycle he was riding, and the siblings went to the river to the south of the village.

The river ran past a large pond at the southwest corner of the village, then turned east, then east past the south side of the village, then east for several miles, then east again after crossing the river to the eastern side of the village, then south again after crossing the river to the eastern side of the village. The river flowed east after passing a large pond at the southwest corner of the village, then east after crossing the village, finally flowing east for several miles, finally flowing east after crossing the river to the eastern side of the village.

When they arrived at the bridge over the river, they found many small children fishing for fish in the river. There were many small fishes swimming in the small vats beside him, and the sand was the same color as the sand at the bottom of the river. Occasionally, there would be one or two carp seeds the size of a child's palm, and the child would exclaim in surprise and joy, since Third Uncle's brother, Qi Tao, loved to fish, whether fishing or fishing, he always had one or two more fish than his little friend. When they found him, there were already several small fishes swimming around in the small vats next to him.

Qi Tao chuckled and did not say a word. "Where's your sister?" Why didn't I see her? "

Qi Tao said, "He's in the orchard with my parents."

Qi Yuan heard this and said, "I'll go take a look. You guys stay here and play."

Qi Yinfeng said, "I'm going too. It's not like I'm going to fish for it. I'm not going to fish for it just because others are trying so hard to fish for it."

Qi Yun said, "You guys go quickly. When Qi Run comes back, we'll go to second grandpa's house together."

Qi Zheng pushed his bicycle across the small stone bridge and got on it. He waited for Qi to jump on the bike and pedaled it a few times. Then he followed the gravel road to his uncle's orchard.

There were many orchards in the village, and most of them were in the area where the Third Uncle's orchard was. Everyone was an apple farmer with some other fruits in the middle.

On both sides of the common gravel road were newly planted little white poplars. A gust of wind blew the palm-sized leaves into a rustling sound. On both sides of the road, there were even some villagers doing farm work.

A large orchard was fenced up, some with peppers planted around the fence, and sharp thorns that kept passersby from seducing the green and red fruits on the trees in the orchard. After stopping the car, Qi Zheng followed the hard path into a well. There were a few small tanks beside the well, which were used to adjust the pesticides, and a machine that was not too big, with thin snakeskin hoses that reached into the depths of the orchard. This set of equipment could be considered semi-mechanized, using diesel fuel to pull the machine, pulling the snakeskin hose along the fruit tree to spray the pesticides.

Third Uncle and Third Aunt went to collect the pipes, and Third Uncle and Third Aunt went to put the pipes in the house. Third Aunt and Third Aunt went to clean the pipes, and Third Aunt and Third Aunt went to look for some precocious apple trees with a small basket of brambles, and when they had finished tidying up, they heard a wave of cursing coming from the east side of the house, which was followed by the crying of several women, and then they looked at each other and said, "Sister-in-law, it is you." Third Aunt and Third Aunt went to collect the pipes and put them in the house.
