    ?

    These few days are the hottest time in the whole summer, even if the wind that blows over touches her body, there is a rush of heat on her body, Chen Yao wished that there would be a cool breeze blowing over, but there was none.  The objects in the whole world seemed to be still, motionless. Chen Yao stared at the corn leaves in a daze. She didn't know whether it was an illusion caused by the sweltering heat, or the steam formed by the evaporation of water on the ground.  How much she wished that the leaves could move a little at this moment, even if it was hot wind, she would be happy.  It's a pity that there are only noisy cicadas in the air, and there is a sticky feeling all over the body.  What's even crazier now is that she's going to drill into a cornfield more than one meter high to mow the grass.

    Since I bought the calf, the grass in my house has been reduced crazily. If we let it develop like this, in winter, let alone the calf, even the old donkey will have nothing to eat.  They must take advantage of the fact that there is still grass in the field, and cut more grass, and feed them green grass now, if they cut more grass, they can dry it, and then take it out to feed them in winter.

    In order to prevent being cut by the corn leaves, she and her elder sister Chenfeng each wore a long-sleeved dress. Although they had already chosen the thinnest one, they were both like cotton jackets in the face of the heat, making her  Every cell cannot breathe.  She still plunged into the ground, after all, it was her own choice.  Before going out, her mother asked them about their own choices. Chen Yu and Chen Feng chose to weed the peanut field. In order to take care of the two younger children and mainly for the harvest in the field, Yang Yi took the two children together.  Going to weed, the eldest brother, Chenfeng, brought the fourth son, Chenyao, to mow the grass.

    She took a deep breath, and then burrowed into the corn field, which was cut by the eldest sister a few days ago, and she already knew the situation.  I don't know which lazy owner it is, the whole land is so luxuriant, even more luxuriant than corn.  The grass is dense, and because it has not been cleaned for too long, the grass is already half a head taller than Chen Yao, which is the most suitable for mowing.  As long as you keep your head down and keep doing it, you won't feel tired or hot.  Chen Yao took the secrets taught by her eldest sister, lowered her head, held the sickle and swung it vigorously, vigorously, and vigorously again.  Then the dense grass was brought down bit by bit behind her, turning into bunches of grass bales.  Slowly, the original lush grass-like corn stalks reproduced their original empty appearance again.  She mowed a long way, and then came back, rolled up the grass and put it in a urea bag. It was a bag that my mother washed and stored every year, and it was ready for use when needed.  Today, she has to cut the big urea bag full before going home.

    When she carefully finished loading the grass and raised her head to rest, she realized that the corn in front of her, which had been neglected because she had been concentrating on mowing the grass, showed an attractive appearance. She slowly got up and pushed a piece of corn from the top of her head  In a small spot, the corn kernels were just full. She inserted her fingernails gently, and the milky white corn juice flowed out, and the air immediately filled with the sweet smell of corn.  She remembered how she saw Rainbow, Caixia, and Yulong eating corn in the neighbor's house a few days ago, and the aroma of corn in the air still made her drool.  She really wanted to break off the corn in front of her and take it home to cook and eat.  The corn at home is absolutely not allowed to be boiled and eaten. My mother said that every corn kernel will be exchanged for their school money in the future. If they eat corn, they will have no money to go to school in the future.  She dared not ask her mother.

    "Elder Sister." She called out to Chenfeng in a low voice. At this moment, Chenfeng was sweating profusely, and there was a small river lying on her cheeks, her face was flushed, and her back had already soaked a big white circle because of too much sweat.  All because of the sweltering weather.

    "What's the matter?" Chen Feng heard the cry, raised his head, and began to wipe the sweat off his cheeks with both hands.

    Although Chen Yao was embarrassed to speak, she still couldn't restrain her inner desire, so she continued to speak intermittently.

    "I, yes, can I pick a piece of corn and cook it at home? One will do."

    "No!" She never thought that her sister would yell at herself so harshly. This yell scared her so much that she no longer had the courage.

    "This is something from someone else's house. You can't move it casually. Do you want to be a thief? It's embarrassing to say that. It's embarrassing to mother." Chenfeng has become like a second mother.

    Another thing is that she is afraid of embarrassing her mother. For fear of embarrassing her mother, she can't eat the delicious food given by others. For fear of embarrassing her mother, she can't just go to other people's houses to play, for fear of being disgusted.  In order not to embarrass her mother, she saw the delicious food in grandma's house and had to leave.  Why is it that no one has ever considered her feelings, she is just a child, can adults make me do nothing because they are ashamed?

    But she didn't say it, these thoughts just flashed through his mind.  My mother often told herself that the family is poor and looked down upon by others, so we must have backbone.  She also deeply saw the difficulty of her parents, and she really couldn't embarrass her mother.

      She continued to work with her head bowed in resentment, working hard, and waving the sickle vigorously, just to show the eldest sister that she also has backbone.

    "Let's go, go home." Until the end of today's work, Chen Yao didn't say a word.  In the end, it was the eldest sister, Chenfeng, who spoke first.

    Chen Feng took the mulberry strips and tied Chen Yao's bag, then deliberately dragged his own bag in front of her.  Inside, two large corns lay quietly.

    "Sister." Chen Yao looked at the eldest sister in shock.

    "I accidentally knocked this off, and it won't grow back. It was also damaged by the rain and wasted when I put it here. I'll take it back and give it to you to eat. Just let my mother scold me when I get home. But you can't do it."  Thief, you have to be careful of other people's corn when you mow the grass, do you hear me?" Chen Feng taught his younger sister with a serious face.

    Chen Yao looked at the eldest sister, seeming to understand, she didn't know how to describe the complicated feelings in her heart, only puzzled, she nodded silently, then watched the elder sister stuff two corns into the grass,  Sang Tiao sealed the bag.

    It was no surprise that Chenfeng was severely reprimanded by Yang Yi when he got home. Even if he knocked it off, it was someone else's property and he couldn't take it casually.  But she didn't send the corn back. She knew that the family should not be publicized, but she warned Chenfeng seriously.  Chen Yao anxiously ate half of the corn that was let out, feeling like chewing wax.  Two corns, the second and the third shared one equally, and this one, she got half of it, the eldest sister only got a small part because of the punishment, but at this moment she still blinked at herself, doing it secretly  grimaced.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
