The crisp sound of rooster crows broke the chaotic dream, and Guo Pengbin slowly woke up. When is it now...

He had just returned to the village for the first night, so he didn't plan to sleep. At least he didn't sleep so well. Just take a break because he had to pay attention to the movement outside and watch the news about the world online. He knew that he was not settled yet.

I just drove for a day and was really tired. He didn't know when he fell asleep and then slept until now...

Guo Pengbin opened his eyes and saw that it was already early morning outside the house. He was slightly shocked, "Wife?" He looked around. There was no one else in the yellow mud house. "Little Tiger Head? Cookie Girl?" His wife and two children went there, and some untied luggage was quietly placed in place.

He hurriedly got up from the wooden bed, and didn't even bother to turn off the fan that swayed with an unpleasant sound, and ran out of the house. The anxiety in his heart quickly aggravated. Some messy and inexplicably terrifying scenes mixed with the bloody scene of New York in the news video, and were surging in his mind... Don't, don't have anything to do...

After rushing out of the yellow mud house, Guo Pengbin looked around, but he still couldn't see anyone. What's going on...

He rushed to another yellow mud house next to him, the door was not closed, and he looked inside, and there was no one; he ran to the village head and shouted, "Wife, wife!?"

At this time, before he could go crazy completely, he suddenly saw his wife walking back from the road with her two jumping and jumping children.

"Ah..." Guo Pengbin almost collapsed to the ground, his heart was still so stuffy that he couldn't stretch for a while. He walked up and said anxiously: "Where are you?"

"Uncle Quan asked us to go for breakfast." Yu Qi was a little surprised, but immediately understood her husband's concerns and explained: "Now Uncle Quan takes your mother and my parents to the field to see. Here are some cooked eggs, which we have all eaten."

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Guo Pengbin was really angry. Only then did she notice that she was carrying a bag of eggs in her hand, all of which were domestically raised chicken eggs.

"I've called, but I can't wake up." Yu Qi was helpless, "No matter what I called, you said you would sleep for a while, and then sleep for a while... I saw that you were so tired, so I asked you to continue sleeping. Don't be surprised, nothing happened."

Guo Pengbin took a deep breath, nodded, and followed them back to the house, and had not brushed his teeth and washed his face.

"Dad, dad," Xiaohutou shouted, "Will we raise some chickens and lay eggs?"

"Okay!" Cai Yatou was also quite looking forward to it, "Have a dog! There are also dogs!"

"Yes, dad, let's raise a dog." Xiaohutou begged again, "Grandpa Hong's mother has just given birth to a litter of dogs. Let's take one to raise. Mom all agrees, okay?" Cai Yatou also nodded repeatedly, "You want to raise a dog."

Guo Pengbin glanced at his wife and nodded when he saw her. In fact, he understood her intention, "Okay, I'll raise them all."

Since he has moved back to the village and lived there for at least a year and a half or even longer, it is good to raise chickens, ducks and dogs, so his mother can take care of the chickens, ducks, and keeping a dog can not only guard the door and give warnings, but also serve as pets for two children and accompany them to integrate into this rural environment.

Sure enough, when he heard his agreement, the two children immediately cheered and shouted excitedly to kiss their father.

Guo Pengbin squatted down and leaned over. His son and daughter kissed each other on both cheeks, and he also laughed. Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two children and watching them dance, the warmth in his heart was even more intense, worth it, worth it...

"I won't wash my face and brush my teeth." Yu Qi smiled. The dark circles on her eyes meant that she didn't sleep well last night, but compared to yesterday's sadness, she seemed to have a little more energy to cheer up. "I still have to be busy today. I have to clean the inside and outside the house, check the wires, and clean the stove. There are too many things."

"Yes." Guo Pengbin knew that his wife was excited. As a mother of two children, she was not a fragile person. Her enthusiasm also made him more energetic. So he didn't say much. He quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face. After eating a few eggs, he rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Soon after, the three old men came back and brought some farm tools back, all of which joined the sweeping.

The weeds in the yard outside the house were first cut off with a sickle, then leveled the ground with a hoe, and the water tanks, firewood, etc. were reorganized; the spider webs and dust in the house had to be completely cleared, and several uncles came to help and brought two new light pipes to help them replace them, so that the lights in the house would be brightly lit at night.

From early morning until noon, everyone moved to Uncle Quan’s house for dinner. Mrs. Quan prepared a big pot meal.

The people living in the village are all middle-aged and elderly people, and they all know each other. Whenever they see their neighbors and outside, they will join in the fun and ask why they are back. Guo Pengbin showed enthusiasm and politeness, and had long told his family to do this. If you live in the village, you must maintain a good neighborhood relationship.

After lunch, although Guo Pengbin was unwilling to go out, he did need to buy some things to improve the living environment of the house. He took Uncle Bo, who knew some water and electricity, to drive to the town. He bought all the things as quickly as possible, and then rushed back to the village. He was frightened all the way, but fortunately nothing happened.

When I returned to the village entrance, I met another family driving back to the village, and they were also packed with big and small bags.

Because it was daytime, I surrounded several villagers and looked at it. Uncle Bo was there. After getting off the car, Guo Pengbin found out that it was Uncle Delin's son who moved back.

"Rongqin?" Guo Pengbin saw that Uncle Delin's son was not his elementary school classmate. When he saw the middle-aged man, he really recognized him, "Li Rongqin!"

He and Li Rongqin had a good time when they were young, but their relationship gradually faded after entering junior high school. They really haven't gotten together for more than ten years. They saw them when they came back to worship their ancestors last time, so they recognized them. After all, everyone has changed a lot from their childhood and when they were young.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time." He walked up and sighed, feeling a little more stable, as if he was holding a wood and drifting in the river, grabbing more wooden boards.

"Guo Pengbin!" Li Rongqin also recognized him, and his smile was complicated and unspeakable, "Are you back?"

"Yes, come back and stay..." Guo Pengbin nodded heavily, patted the other party's shoulder, and Li Rongqin also patted him. At this moment, the two of them had the same feeling.

Then, Li Rongqin introduced his wife and children, only one son, Xuanxuan, who was five years old this year and was a little afraid of having sex. When he asked him to call people, he hugged his mother's legs and refused to speak. Guo Pengbin told them not to force the children, and sincerely said that it's okay, Xiaohutou and Caiyao have playmates.

Li Rongqin's parents were alive and were greeted by the side. His parents-in-law also came with him, and the family was also busy.

So after the two men chatted at the village head, they went to work hard with each other and could get together for a lot of time in the future.

Guo Pengbin returned to his yellow mud house with the things he bought. After sending the news back, Yu Qi was also relieved. The two children were already looking forward to the playmate coming. Yu Qi said that when the family was almost busy, they would visit them again.

When dinner was almost at night, Uncle Quan came over and asked Guo Pengbin to see the fields. It was a day back, and it was time to go and see it, Uncle Quan said so.

There are many fields around the village settlement. Since these old people are still ploughing and the fields are not famined, in this summer, the fields with rice planting are about to be harvested, and there are golden pieces everywhere. When the wind blows, it seems to be filled with the fragrance of rice.

"Uncle Quan, when will these fields be harvested?"

Guo Pengbin followed Uncle Quan to the dirt road beside the fields. He was familiar with and unfamiliar with farm work. In the past, the old father arranged the farm work at home. Even if he participated, he would help him as much as his father asked him to do, and he didn't know much.

"It'll be fine in a few days." Uncle Quan looked at the rice fields that had grown, and his eyes seemed to have a soft light, "This year, the grain is ripe."

"I'll help you cut it together then." Guo Pengbin said again, "I have to find some serious things here."

At this time, he looked at the far end. Li Rongqin followed his father Uncle Delin and was also strolling around the fields. Seeing that the other party noticed him, he waved and greeted him.

I think Li Rongqin thought so too. When he came back to live in the village, he lived steadily.

"Pengbin." Uncle Quan said his plans as he walked, with a serious dark face, "Listen to me, I told your mother. These acres of land were originally your father's, but he left early, and then he landed here with me. Now that you come back to live in the village, you want to find some land to work on, so let's go back to you. These acres of land are not worth much money after being harvested. I heard you say that the situation outside is not good, and I also read some news.

I mean, let’s not sell these grains first. Maybe we can’t buy food if we have money. I was hungry before and knew how uncomfortable it would be to get hungry. In the era of our Taigong, it was common for landlords to sell their children for a bag of grain, so I said that these grains would not be sold, and we would save them all. I try to call your cousin and the others back. This field can be planted again this year. When the harvest comes, it depends on the situation. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay..." Guo Pengbin nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Uncle Quan said both moved and agreed. This old farmer who had been facing the loess and backs on the sky for most of his life had a unique consideration for the changes in the world. "As Uncle Quan said, don't sell millet, keep them all... Let's plow these fields together..."

"You are willing to plow, so you will have more fields for you." Uncle Quan pointed at the surroundings, "But plowing is very hard."

"Thank you hard work is not a problem." Guo Pengbin smiled and looked at the golden rice fields. "As long as the family can be safe and not hungry, what's the point of hard work... Uncle Quan, I now understand why my father was always unwilling to put down these fields before..."

He didn't know if the disaster outside would suddenly spread to the village one day, but looking at the rice fields in front of him, he felt a real hope in his heart.

With these rice fields and these lands, you can survive.
