Not two days after Lu Zheng'an's birthday, the annual vigorous stubble elimination began?

Because the Lu family has five acres of fertile land planted with corn, Lu Zhengan got up to feed the chickens and ducks in the past few days before dawn. He simply packed up some food and went down to the ground with a grappling hook.

Although it was still early in the morning, many people in the fields were already busy. Lu Zhengan found yesterday's mark, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

The job of clearing stubble is a purely physical job, with the grappling hook raised and lowered repeatedly. At the end of the morning, my arms were so tired that I couldn't lift them up.

Fortunately, Lu Zhengan's physical strength is not bad, and he does a lot of physical work on weekdays, so he can hold on. It was just painful. I had a pair of hands, and after two days, there were a few blood blisters the size of fingernails in the palms of my hands.

However, only two-thirds of the five acres of wheat stubble has been harvested, and the blisters on my hands were so blistered that I couldn't pick it out for a while. Otherwise, the wear will become more serious, and eventually infection and ulceration may occur.

Watching the sun rise slowly, many people in the field have already gone back to eat with their hoes. Lu Zhengan brought food with him when he came, so he simply found a place to sit under the shade of a tree, eating while admiring the pastoral scenery in front of him.

Lu Zheng'an brought the steamed buns he kneaded at home and two salted duck eggs. The salted duck eggs were pickled by Song Lan himself. Knowing that Lu Zheng'an would be busy at the moment, he asked Song Huaishu to bring a small jar to Lu Zheng'an.

The salted duck eggs are fragrant and oily, and the steamed buns taste great. Within a quarter of an hour, two steamed buns and two salted duck eggs were devoured by Lu Zhengan.

After taking two sips of the tea he brought, Lu Zhengan stood up and wanted to continue working. Unexpectedly, a donkey cart was slowly coming towards us in the distance. After seeing Lu Zhengan, the man sitting on the shaft of the cart waved to him.

Lu Zheng'an put down the grappling hook in his hand and looked carefully. Only then did he realize that the people coming were Song Huaishu and Song Xiren, and Song Lan, who was sitting in the carriage, also stuck his head out and looked over.

There are very few families with cars in the countryside, so the Song family's donkey cart is very eye-catching in the fields. People who had not gone home to eat stopped what they were doing and turned to look this way.

Lu Zheng'an didn't expect that the family of three would come, so he quickly put down the grappling hook in his hand and greeted them.

"Why are uncle and aunt here??"

Song Huaishu jumped down from the carriage, looked back at his parents helplessly, and replied: "I know you will be busy these days, I originally wanted to do it myself. Let's see. I don't think so, my father and mother have to come with me."

Hearing this, Mrs. Song Lan couldn't help but glared at Song Huaishu, and said, "Look at what you are saying. Your father and I came over to see what you have. If there is anything, we can ?Anyone who can help?"

Song Huaishu listened to his mother's "teachings" and stood silently behind Lu Zhengan, not daring to say a word.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little amused when he looked at his shabby appearance. He raised his feet and moved towards Song Huaishu, and took the initiative to hold Song Huaishu's hand.
