Chapter 73 Spring goes to summer to wild boars
After a day of rest, Yun Xiaotang became more energetic the next day.
As usual, I go to class in the morning and go to work in the afternoon.
When I was in the fields, I didn't do any heavy work, just weeding and weeding.
After Zhao Xueer finished her work, she asked her sister to rest on the field ridge while she did the rest.
Yun Xiaotang couldn't resist, so she had to sit obediently on the ridge of the field and watch her sister work.
The warm spring breeze blew and dried the sweat on her forehead.
At this time, spring is just right.
And her running plan was put on hold.
...
Spring is passing and summer is coming, and the days are getting hotter day by day.
The watermelons planted in the yard have also blossomed and bear fruit. Each small watermelon is full of life and interest.
In the evening, Yun Xiaotang moved a bamboo lounge chair and placed it under the elm tree in the courtyard, leisurely blowing the wind and enjoying the coolness.
In the hall, Zhao Tianer was teaching Ping An to study.
Nowadays, there is no farming school in the commune, and the former farming school has become a rural primary school.
Rural primary schools now have a five-year system and implement study and rest schedules in summer and winter.
That is to say, classes can be held during the off-farm periods in summer and winter without delaying spring plowing and autumn planting.
Ping An is now in the second grade of elementary school. The teacher assigned her homework and she is asking her brother to teach her.
In the main room, Ping An was frowning. This arithmetic problem was too difficult.
She couldn't even understand the question.
Fortunately, my brother is here.
In addition to envying her for having a beautiful sister, her friends also envy her for having a smart brother.
Those people say that my brother will have a great future.
She couldn't quite understand it, but she understood that her brother would be very powerful in the future.
Zhao Tian'er has a gentle face and a very clean and clear voice. He is extremely serious when explaining arithmetic problems.
Ping An touched his head and said, "Ah - I understand, that's what it is, hehehe."
When it came time to do the next question, I scratched my head and couldn't put my pen down.
This is, it won’t happen again.
Zhao Tianer smiled and continued to explain patiently.
In the yard, Yun Xiaotang was lying on a bamboo chair, looking at the sky.
Night gradually fell, and the sky was filled with stars.
Oh, this is the Big Dipper.
Ah, over there is Vega.
She counted the stars, listened to the voices in the room, and enjoyed the leisurely moment.

At night, something appeared in the mountains and forests, and they followed the mountain road to the fields of the production team.
On the second day, when they went to work, the members were surprised to find that a lot of crops in the field had been damaged.
"Where did this person come from? This has destroyed a lot of crops."
When some members of the commune saw that their crops had been destroyed, they howled and cursed.
Captain Li rubbed his temples to ask the man to be quiet, and then carefully observed the damaged land.
Logically speaking, it cannot be man-made.
He has lived in this village for decades and knows the members of Yushu Village thoroughly.
No matter what, no one should do such a thing to destroy crops.
As for those educated youths, it is impossible.
Since it's not man-made, it could be animals.
Sure enough, he found a series of animal footprints, which looked like wild boars.
He immediately made a decision in his mind, "Look at the footprints here, they should be wild boars coming down the mountain to find food."
The members gathered around to take a look, and sure enough they saw pig hoof prints, which were the same as those of their own pigs.
"Then what should we do now? This wild boar came once. It's good. It will definitely come again next time."
Captain Li thought for a while and said, "Just leave a few people here tonight to see if the wild boar will come again. If it comes, we will drive it away."
Upon hearing this, many members of the commune said that they wanted to stay and would feel at ease only if they saw the wild boar with their own eyes and drove it away.
Captain Li waved his hand, "You should discuss this with your team leader and decide."
Zhao Xueer frowned. In the previous life, there were no wild boars to destroy crops. How come there are wild boars in this life?
I don’t know which mountain road this wild boar came down from. After all, the mountain is so big and has many mountains.
But on weekdays, everyone in the village would go up the mountain from the back.
Because that mountain road is the most suitable for people to go up the mountain. It is not that there are no mountain roads in other places, but the roads are not easy to walk.
If wild boars come down from the back mountains, they may damage the crops on their own land.
Thinking of this, she felt a little anxious and wanted to go take a look quickly.
Finally, when it was time to finish work at noon, she picked up a hoe and hurried to her private plot without even returning home.
Seeing her anxious expression and her hurry, Su Yuchen only hesitated for a second and immediately followed her.
Maybe he can even help.
Zhao Xueer glanced at him, their eyes met, but neither of them said anything and hurried on together.
In the crowd, Liu Yuting looked at the backs of the two people leaving together, feeling secretly depressed. She didn't even hear Tong Rongguang talking to her.
"Liu Zhiqing?"
Tong Rongguang looked at the distracted beautiful woman in front of him and called out in a gentle voice.
"Ah?" Liu Yuting suddenly came back to her senses. In order to cover up her absent-mindedness, she deliberately showed an extremely soft smile.
Tong Rongguang looked at her face and his ears turned red.
"It's okay... let's go back."

Zhao Xueer and Su Yuchen quickly rushed to her family's private plot, and sure enough they saw several corn stalks dumped in their field.
Looking at the pig's hoof prints on the edge of the field, she guessed that the wild boar came down from the back mountain, but instead of wandering around the village, she took a detour to the production team's field.
Otherwise, wild boars would make noise when walking in the village, and I didn’t hear any dogs barking at night.
She walked to the field, lifted up the corn stalks, and tied them to other corn stalks. Fortunately, the roots were not damaged.
Su Yuchen stepped forward and helped her hold the corn stalk.
After taking care of the fields, Zhao Xueer looked at her own land and fell into deep thought.
Su Yuchen glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, we can first surround the land and make a wooden fence."
Zhao Xueer listened and nodded. Thinking that there was still a lot of wood in the kitchen, she walked home.
Before reaching the door of the house, I saw my sister and Ping An squatting in front of the door from a distance.
Neither of the kids had keys.
Zhao Xueer quickly ran forward and opened the door for her sisters.
After the door opened, she rushed to the kitchen, took out the wood and placed it in the yard.
Yun Xiaotang asked in confusion, "Sister, what happened?"
Zhao Xueer said while moving wood, "Last night, wild boar came down from the mountain and destroyed the crops in the field. The production team and our family's private land suffered. Now I am rushing to build a wooden fence to surround the land.
stand up."
At this time, Su Yuchen walked in, picked up a piece of wood and looked at it, "I'll do it, you go and do your work... Go and cook. I'll have another lunch today."
Zhao Xueer looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't believe that an educated youth from the city could still cut wood.
Su Yuchen smiled suddenly, "Believe me, I will definitely cut the wood well."
Zhao Xueer looked at the two sisters on the side and realized that she should go cook first and not let them go hungry.
