Chapter 6 Pastoral Scenery

Grandma Yang happened to see Zhang Sijiu going out. She wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything. She just turned around and couldn't help but wiped her eyes again: Jiuniang is sensible and knows that things are different now.

Looking for a job.

Zhang Sijiu had no idea about the lawsuits in Yang's belly.

She walked out the door, looked around, and directly chose the path she had taken before.

As for weeds, there should be a lot of them along the river, right?

Moreover, I had made an appointment with Yang Yuanding to see me again, so I had to visit the spot in advance.

Zhang Sijiu carried a backpack on her back and walked briskly - I have to say that the primitive pastoral scenery made her feel very novel after living in the city.

Look around and take a closer look. Even the things grown in each farmland should be carefully looked at and observed.

Fortunately, we still know rice. We also know some crops that have already produced fruits - such as eggplants, beans, winter melons, cucumbers, and loofahs.

Zhang Sijiu comforted himself: It doesn’t matter if he has traveled through time, the air is so fresh! And he can probably achieve vegetable freedom!

There are indeed a lot of weeds by the river, and a few older girls are already cutting them.

Zhang Sijiu followed suit and learned to cut with a lawnmower.

She had observed that her family raised seven chickens, a dozen ducks, and two pigs. Xu had to cut the grass every day. And she had to cut several baskets of grass to do it.

Now that you are here, you are part of the family. Zhang Sijiu believes that it is very necessary to do what you can and share the housework.

It’s just like the principle in a department: everyone has their own division of labor, some may seem important, and some may seem less important, but in fact, everyone is a whole, and without any one, the department cannot operate healthily!

Dr. Zhang thinks that as the director of the department, he must take the lead in doing his part of the work.

Once you have a good attitude, mowing the lawn is actually a very stress-relieving task.

Especially grab a handful of grass and cut it with a sharp flat knife - after the grass is cut, a neat stubble will appear.

As long as the distance is controlled well, the stubbles will slowly expand and become a large and uniform area, and they will no longer look like they were growing randomly just now.

Although it was the first time I touched a lawn mower, I couldn't get the point the first few times, but Dr. Zhang said: As a person who needs to hold a scalpel, he has a natural affinity with the knife.

Is that a knife? No, that's a magic wand that creates miracles and beauty.

Zhang Sijiu quickly mastered the use of the "magic wand".

And the grass was cut one by one and neatly arranged, making full use of every bit of space, overlapping and crossing each other...

The backpack is filled layer by layer - the feeling of comfort is simply addictive!

When the backpack was completely filled, and even a sharp tip was stacked out, which couldn't fit anymore, Zhang Sijiu stopped with unfinished thoughts.

After finishing what he was supposed to do, Zhang Sijiu took stock of his surroundings.

This river is called Mianshui River. It is very wide, with sparkling water. On both sides of the river are large stretches of sandy beach. Occasionally, the muddy areas are covered with reeds or weeds, and they look quite beautiful - there are some on the river.

Waterbirds fly by, or use their long beaks to poke through the sand in shallow areas, looking for food.

It looks beautiful, spectacular, and leisurely.

Zhang Sijiu felt relaxed and happy watching it.

"Jiuniang, are you okay?" Someone came over to talk to Zhang Sijiu.

They are some girls who live nearby.

Zhang Sijiu had seen them before, but he couldn't distinguish them very well, so he didn't call them by name, but just smiled: "Yes. They are all healed now."

"You cut so much grass?" Everyone also had a tacit understanding not to mention the Zhang family's sadness and only talked about other things. However, they were really amazed - after all, they didn't even have so much in their baskets.

Zhang Sijiu suddenly felt a little bad, but still pretended to be calm: "Yes. The chickens and ducks at home are so edible, so cut more."

"Can you carry it?" someone asked.

Someone else hesitated and asked, "Did your second aunt say something?"

Zhang Sijiu shook his head: "My second aunt is very good to me."

As for the problem of being able to carry it easily, Zhang Sijiu took a look at the backpack and finally realized what the problem was: it was still heavy with slightly dewy grass in the morning. And this backpack was almost as big as Zhang Sijiu’s.

Her belly is so high and still looks fat and bulging.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is more than enough for Zhang Sijiu to squat in.

The sentence "I can recite it" stuck in Dr. Zhang's throat.

She calmly said: "I can't carry it."

A group of girls were silent for a moment, shocked by Zhang Sijiu's attitude.

Finally, the strongest little girl took the initiative to speak: "I will send my basket back first, and then I will pick you up. Then put some grass into my basket -"

However, Zhang Sijiu had already made an action: she grabbed the two straps of the backpack and tried to drag it along.

It was okay, I could drag it. So she smiled and said, "I can drag it back."

Although the little girl is strong, she is still a child! How can I be so embarrassed to ask a child to help?

However, everyone stopped Zhang Sijiu one after another, and all explained the reason: after dragging it back like this, the foundation of the backpack will be worn out! Weaving a backpack is also very labor-intensive. If you don’t know how to make it, you have to buy it.

, that costs money!

Zhang Sijiu looked at the backpack and fell silent again: It turns out that the seemingly ordinary backpack is also an important family property that needs to be cherished and protected.

But Zhang Sijiu was still embarrassed to ask children to help.

So, Zhang Sijiu pursed his lips, took half of the grass out of the basket, and tried to lift it again. After making sure that he could carry it, he nodded: "I'll go with you. I'll carry it again later."

Just go back."

The strong girl disagreed: "What if someone steals it?"

Zhang Sijiu was confused: Are weeds stolen?

But it was quite distressing to see the grass that was cut so hard being stolen. Therefore, Zhang Sijiu finally felt embarrassed and chose to accept help: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

The strong girl grinned with white teeth: "It's okay! Jiuniang, have you forgotten? We are the best friends!"

After she finished speaking, she felt a little guilty: "Just a few days ago, my mother didn't let me go out, so I didn't go to you -"

Zhang Sijiu understood: The little girl is not only enthusiastic, but most importantly, she also feels a little guilty about her good friend?

She smiled kindly and said to the strong girl, "It's okay. Even if I saw you a few days ago, I might not recognize you. We are still young, so we should listen more to our family."

The strong girl breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even brighter. She picked up her backpack and said loudly: "Then Jiuniang, wait for me here!"

Zhang Sijiu smiled: "Okay."

The little girl is so cute.

Doctor Zhang didn't realize at all that she was also a little girl now. She was even younger than the other person.

Because she was embarrassed, she had already begun to think: How to repay this enthusiastic and strong girl?
