To Travel by the Edge of a Creek

"Huh", Yan Ran sat down on the ground and let out a big breath.

"How many acres of land is this? Why do I feel like I can never finish it in a lifetime?" Yan Ran looked at the long peanut field in front of him and asked with his head lowered.

"Three points of land, one acre of land is equal to ten points of land," Liang Jia explained because he was afraid that he wouldn't know how to convert.

"Ah, so much, only three points of land," Yan Ran raised his head and exclaimed.

"Are you scared?" Liang Jia laughed.

"Yeah" Yan Ran nodded honestly, the long curly bangs on his forehead constantly hitting his face.

"Liang Qian, come here" Liang Jia shouted to his sister when he saw that Yan Ran was having trouble getting his bangs done.

"What are you doing?" The little girl was picking up peanuts behind her parents with a small bag.

"Come here and give your Brother Ran a little twist," Liang Jia said.

"Okay." After hearing this, Liang Qian dropped her things and ran over.

Yan Ran was suffering from the torment of his bangs, so he didn't refuse. He sat and let the chubby little hands scratch around on his head.

"Well, it looks good." Liang Qian not only tied up her but also played a ball.

"Yeah, cute." Liang Jia kept watching.

"Thank you, Sissi" Yan Ran blushed.

After a break, they dug peanuts again.

"Are you going to eat all these peanuts by yourself?" Yan Ran couldn't think of anything else to do with peanuts besides eating them.

"Of course not, how can I finish eating so much?"

"Is that for sale?"

"No, my parents are going to squeeze peanut oil. They think

The oil squeezed from home-grown peanuts is purer and healthier than the oil bought outside.”

"oh"

"Tomorrow, when my mother is done squeezing it, I'll give you a bucket."

"No, it would be a waste if you leave it to my house. No one in my house cooks."

"Then you can come to my house for dinner in the future."

"What are you talking about?" Sun Qing asked as she walked over, picked up a few scattered peanuts on the ground and threw them aside.

"I asked Yan Ran to come to my house for dinner in the future," Liang Jia said.

"Okay, come back with Jiajia and I'll make delicious food for you," Sun Qing said with a smile.

"Well, Jiajia, go ride a bike and buy some water." Sun Qing took out the money and gave it to Liang Jia.

"Okay!" Liang Jia stood up and took the money.

"Want to go together?" Liang Jia looked at Yan Ran and asked.

"Okay." Yan Ran also stood up.

The two patted the dirt on their bodies and walked out of the field.

"Brother, I want to go too." Liang Qian saw her brother running over with the cart.

"Oh, there are so many things going on, you stand in front" Liang Jia sighed.

"Is that okay? If not, I won't go." Yan Ran saw Liang Qian standing in front and felt that he might as well not go.

"It's okay, she usually stands in front, come on." Liang Jia patted the seat and motioned for him to sit on it.

Yan Ran sat up after hearing what he said.

"Hold me tight," Liang Jia warned the person behind him.

Yan Ran reached out and hugged her without hesitation.

After Liang Jia saw that everyone was seated, he turned the handlebar and started driving.

The road to the small supermarket was very smooth and they arrived smoothly and easily.

"Liang Jia is back," the supermarket owner said with a smile.

"Uncle, I'm back, come here to buy something." Liang Jia chatted with the boss for a few words.

"Take whatever you want to drink," Liang Jiali told Yan Ran.

Liang Qian went straight to the shelf, picked up a plate of Shuang Wai Wai Wai and held it in her arms.

Liang Jia and the others brought some mineral water, black tea, green tea, cola, etc.

After shopping, the three of them drove back in the same posture as when they arrived.

After buying the water, several people sat on the field stalks, drank water, chatted and rested for a while.

"Jiajia, do you still remember when you were a child, your foot was stuck in this field and you couldn't pull it out and you called your grandma for help?" Sun Qing said with a smile.

"How small it was, I don't even remember it."

"When he was more than two years old, someone told me, 'Your son is very smart. His feet are stuck in the mud and he can't pull them out. He yells for help, grandma.'" Sun Qing followed suit and demonstrated to them.

"Hahahahaha, you were so cute when you were a kid." Yan Ran smiled at Liang Jia after hearing this.

"I haven't even met my grandma," Liang Qian muttered while holding Shuang Wai Wai.

"Well, my grandma passed away early. It would be great if she could live until now. Everything is fine now. I can eat whatever I want. I don't have to leave good things to myself anymore." Liang Jia thought of his grandma's response to her. His eyes were red due to all kinds of good things, but he forced himself to be fine.

"I miss my grandma too," Yan Ran burst into tears when he heard him say that. Afraid of being seen, Yan Ran lowered his head very naturally, as if playing with the bottle cap in his hand.

"Humans, birth, old age, illness and death, all have their own fate, so if you want to be more open-minded," Liang Yueting looked at it with disdain.

The author has something to say:

thank you and bow

Chapter 18 Chapter 18

After resting for a while, they went back to the fields to dig peanuts for a while, and then it was time for lunch.

Liang Jiayanran helped move the planed peanuts to the electric tricycle.

The contribution of several people in the morning was not small, and only half of the peanuts were left in the field.

Sun Qing and his wife drove the electric tricycle and pulled the tall peanuts away first, while Liang Jia took the younger sister and Yan Ran on another smooth road.

It was still chef Liang Yueting. He steamed some noodles and prepared a cold dish.

Father Liang is a good cook and because he spent a lot of energy working in the morning, everyone ate a big bowl. Even Liang Qian ate all the noodles in her bowl.

Empty.

"Not bad," Sun Qing praised as she watched the children finish their meal.

After eating, drinking water and resting for a while, they went to the fields again

It was not hot in October, so Sun Qing wanted to finish her work early and go home early to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

We just worked like that for a while and rested for a while in the afternoon. The group of people almost finished working at around four o'clock.

"You don't have to do it. We'll do the rest. You can go and play. Hey, your grandpa's persimmons should be ripe, go pick them and eat them," Sun Qing shouted to the children.

Liang Jiayan stopped and stood up, patted the dirt on his body and stretched his muscles. It was over.

"Let's go, I'll take you to pick persimmons." Liang Jia took Yan Ran to a dilapidated yard on the edge of the field. The house in the yard had collapsed and was full of weeds. In front of the yard, there were two tall persimmon trees with fallen branches. There are many red fruits hanging high on the branches.

"Can you climb trees?" Liang Jia asked him while standing under the tree.

Yan Ran shook his head.

"I'll climb up to pick it, and you can pick it up from below." Liang Jia said and climbed up with the trunk in his arms. His ease gave Yan Ran the illusion that climbing a tree is easy.

"Be careful." Yan Ran saw that the tree was shaking so much that he was afraid that the branch would break and throw him down.

"Come on," Liang Jia reached for a ripe red persimmon and threw it down.

Yan Ran quickly ran to where he was and caught the soft persimmon. Fortunately, it didn't hit the ground, otherwise it would have been ruined.

Yan Ran handed the persimmon to Liang Qian, and quickly went back to the tree to watch and protect it, first to catch the persimmon, and secondly to pick up the person in case the person fell.

Liang Jia was moving around on the tree, the branches were shaking horribly, and the persimmons were falling down one after another, some ripe and some not.

"Stop climbing up, come down, it's too dangerous." Yan Ran saw him trying to reach the top persimmon and stopped him.

The top persimmon
