Chapter 2 The Autumn Harvest
"Dad, brother, it's time to eat."
"Okay. OK." Time always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a night passed. After breakfast the next day, Li Hongyu's father, mother and sister have gone out to work to harvest sweet potato seedlings, and Li Hongyu is the only one left at home.
Digging a sweet potato cellar three meters deep is a piece of cake for me, and I decided to do it in two hours. I did it as soon as I said it. Li Hongyu found an iron pickaxe tape measure, measured the size, and marked it. He began to make a grand debut. The sound of banging and banging sounds one after another. An hour passed, and the depth of less than one meter was less than eighty centimeters.
My God, why is it so difficult to dig? My hands are blisters, and it hurts a little. I boasted about the sea in front of my dad, and I can do it in minutes. I can’t lose face in front of my dad. Let’s take a ten-minute break, have some tea, and relax on Douyin.
Ten minutes later, Li Hongyu picked up the iron and started a new round of work. Another hour passed, Li Hongyu dug 1.5 meters. Half of it was dug and half was still half.
Now I feel my hands hurt so much, I feel very tired, and I need a rest. This is so tired of her mother. I will drink some tea and then browse Douyin. I will take a break before talking about it.
Half an hour later, Li Hongyu picked up the pickaxe, endured the pain in his hand, and started a new round of bombardment. Before he knew it, it was noon, but the stronger the ground was, the harder it became, and it became harder to dig. It was only two meters and five meters deep. At this time, the sound of speaking came to the outside of the courtyard wall.
"Dad, do you guess my brother dug up the sweet potato cellar?"
"Haha, do you still need to guess this girl? Your brother must not be able to dig it well."
"I guess my brother must have dug it. He ate a lot, his strength must be great, and he must have dug it very quickly. It's been a whole morning, and a small hole three meters deep must have been dug long ago."
"How about this, Dad, let's make a bet. If my brother digs it up, I won't go to the field to work this afternoon, and I will play at home. If my brother doesn't dig it up, I will continue to work in the afternoon."
"Okay, no problem." Li Hongyu's father thought to himself, you want to be lazy, you little girl movies, too. I have lived in our land for more than 40 years. I don't know whether it is solid or not. The more you dig, the harder it is. It is impossible for you to be lazy.
Li Hongyu in the yard heard the sound of their betting and hurriedly jumped out of the sweet potato cellar.
"Brother, have you dug it?"
"Hahaha, there is no sister yet. The land is too strong and difficult to dig. The further down, the harder it is. Now it is almost two meters and five meters deep. I guess it will be done early in the afternoon and will not delay our harvest of sweet potatoes tomorrow."
"Ah! Hongyu, why is your hand bleeding?" At this time, Li Hongyu's mother exclaimed and looked at Li Hongyu's hand pitifully. Her eyes were full of heartache. Tears couldn't help but flow out.
"My mother is fine, it's the blood bubbles I grinded out of the sweet potato cellar. The blood that was leaking out was not in trouble. The man is a real man who grows fast."
"It's fine, it looks so scary."
"I'm so scared, my hair is so long and my knowledge is short. Let's see if you're scared, and tears are flowing out."
"I feel sorry for my son, but I don't know how to feel sorry for my son like you."
Qingxue also saw that her brother's hand was bleeding, and she was also scared. "Brother, let me look at your hand, it looks scary."
"Oh, sister, don't watch it anymore. It's okay. Just wash it clean and wipe it with white wine. You won't delay your work in the afternoon."
"Hongyu, I'm telling you a few words. This year our sweet potatoes grow big and good. I decided to increase your workload and dig one more meter down the sweet potato cellar, which means digging one hundred centimeters more."
"No problem, Dad, I promise to complete the task."
After lunch, I rested for a while, and when everyone went out to work, Li Hongyu also picked up the work tools and started a new round of homework. After two rests, a small stone slab blocked the way downwards at a depth of three meters and five meters.
This small stone slab looks pretty, simple, dignified and elegant, and gives people a very comfortable feeling. This stone slab looks like it was dug out by someone and deliberately put it here. I took it out to see what it is.
Li Hongyu tried a lot to pick up the small stone slab.
Hey, why is there a small wine jar underneath?
Li Hongyu hurriedly put down the small stone slab, gently cleaned the soil next to the small wine jar, and tiptoed to take out the small wine jar.
It is quite heavy to hold it, and there should be wine inside. I have been putting this wine underground for thousands of years and should be delicious. I just happened to be very tired from working, so it is also good to drink some wine to relieve fatigue.
Drink as soon as he says, Li Hongyu gently opened the seal and didn't know how many thousand years of fine wines.
The moment the seal was removed, the entire sweet potato cellar suddenly smelled of wine, and I wanted to get drunk when I smelled it.
Wow, it smells so good.
Li Hongyu looked down at the wine jar. There was not much wine in the wine jar. It may be because it was old and evaporated automatically. There were probably so many disposable cups per cup.
Drink it quickly. If you drink it slowly, it may evaporate it, which would be a pity.
