There are still about ten days left before the beginning of autumn, and the corns have already jointed and are about as tall as a person. There is no sense of endless openness like in spring.

In half a month, it should be time to tassel...it's called tasseling in Jiangcheng dialect. Xu Qing held up an umbrella and looked around. Although there were some wonderful stories happening in the corn fields, they were all rough guys. He, a scholar, went in.

It hurts and itches when the leaves are cut.

It is also possible that before the leaves are cut, Jiang He will beat him into a dog.

After all, in broad daylight, Jiang He is not Gong Li, and Xu Qing is not Jiang Wen.

Under the lush trees and the gentle wind, Jiang He walked on the path with his bag on his back, pinching the crop leaves on the roadside. When he turned around, he saw Xu Qing looking at the cornfield with a strange look in his eyes.

"what's on your mind?"

"What's so good about this?" Xu Qing stretched out his fingers to flick the corn leaves.

"I didn't know it grew so fast."

Jiang He stood on tiptoe and hopped a few times. She originally wanted to relax, breathe fresh air, and look at the endless waves of wheat or corn. It felt good to be open-minded. She felt that Xu Qing stayed at home with his computer all day long.

It's not healthy, let's come out and take a look.

As a result, the corn stalks were all tall.

"What kind of fertilizer did this grow?" She was a little disappointed. What she wanted most when going out this time was to see the crops being harvested. The big machine rumbled past, and the grain fell out of the machine's butt. It was exciting just thinking about it.

"It has nothing to do with fertilizer, it just grows fast."

"Will it be harvested by machine then?" Jiang He looked around. The path was surrounded by crops and was quite secluded. It was different from the endless wheat fields in spring.

"Probably..." Xu Qing was not sure either.

"You don't know either?"

"Technology is developing so fast. In the past, a family would dig into the ground to break it off, but I haven't been there since. I heard that there is a machine to collect it, but... I haven't paid any attention to it specifically."

Xu Qing looked at the distance. Only Xu Wenbin and his generation had moved into the city. Going up to eighteen generations of farmers, he didn't know whether this was considered forgetting his roots...

Having said that, except for Jiang He, no one would want to come over and watch people harvest crops... and they would still be thinking about farming.

"The machine is really a great invention." Jiang He sighed. Seeing that there was no one on the roadside, he patted his butt and sat down. He took a piece of grass and rolled it in his hand to play with.

Having come all the way here, you can't just stand and go back. You won't be able to bask in the sun if you sit down, so it's good to take a rest.

"Normal girls would find the floor dirty."

"Can you just go back and wash it when it's dirty?" Jiang He looked up at him, feeling that holding an umbrella on a sunny day was so silly.

"It's so carefree...ah."

Xu Qing also sat down and played with the garbage on the roadside. Although he didn't know what Jiang He was planning to do, he could make a rough guess.

This is to examine the future farming business.

In this era of being helpless, the thing that gives her the most sense of security is the instinct of farming... Maybe in the future, when she buys a house and has her own home, she can realize her sense of security and completely give up the idea of ​​farming.

Of course, she will definitely still like to grow something, but she will not have the idea of ​​​​buying special land to grow it like now. She has been learning, and it takes time to transform from a Kaiyuan bumpkin to a modern person.

The wind blew and there was a rustling sound in the fields.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and carefully felt the breeze in order to prevent himself from appearing too bored.

Jiang He doesn't spend money randomly and doesn't want anything. Playing games and going out for shopping are her only hobbies. No matter what, she can't dampen her interest and can't rush her back.

The two people were sitting side by side in the shade. There was only the occasional soft sound of the wind blowing on the edge of the secluded field, making them look silly.

"I thought about farming together and letting you help me cut the wheat with a sickle."

"Don't forget to take me with you when you're farming, thank you, heroine."

"Do you want to?"

"I'm sure you don't want to." Xu Qing tilted his head and said, "It's so high-tech and it's stupid to still hold a sickle. You can hire someone to drive the machine and make it rumble in a while."

"That's right." Jiang He thought for a moment and had to admit that what Xu Qing said made sense.

She is indeed a bit stupid. Farming here is not as good as others.

Xu Qing pulled out a straw and put it into his mouth, tasting the slightly astringent taste and squinting his eyes.

"I want to take you to sit in an air-conditioned room, eat watermelon, drink Coke, listen to music and read a book, are you willing?"

"I'd love to."

"Then shall we farm or use air conditioning?"

"Of course the air conditioner is on, and I'm not stupid." Jiang He didn't expect him to ask such an idiotic question, "You have to endure the necessary hardships. Isn't it unhealthy to endure unnecessary hardships?"

"?"

Xu Qing was immediately confused.

Jiang He will learn to speak like him.

"Then you just said you would take me to farm and let me cut the wheat?"

"I said I thought about it before, but I didn't say I still want to plant it with you now."

Jiang He muttered in a low voice that she came here just to see the wide view here, but she didn't expect to miss it.

The next season's grain has already grown so tall.

Life has become abundant, machines save time and effort, watering and other things are very convenient, and crops have become very productive. This era is really good.

Sure enough, people are greedy. After satisfying the problem of food, their needs will move towards higher places. If you still insist on planting crops, you will be regarded as a fool.

At least he would be laughed at by Xu Qing. Instead of lying at home drinking Coke and blowing on the air conditioner, he would come here to cut with a sickle... He had already laughed at me just now.

"Sometimes it feels unreal." She whispered.

"It's normal. Sometimes I feel it's unreal."

Xu Qing held the grass stalk in his mouth and supported it with both hands behind his back. He looked up at the sky and saw only a few thin clouds.

"Don't think too much. The more you think, the more tired you become. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. Teacher Xu will always answer your questions."

"whispering sound."

Jiang He snorted, lowered his head and plucked the leaves of the weeds with his fingers, without making any sound.

An ancient country bumpkin and a modern young man were sitting on the edge of a field together, each thinking about his own things.

A churning sound came from a distance, from far to near, and a small broken motorcycle rode by on the road, churning away again, leaving only a trail of dust hanging behind the car like a tail.

"Go back?" Jiang He turned around and asked.

"No more shopping?"

"It's not like there's anything interesting to see here. I thought I could see large areas of wheat and corn, but..."

I saw a large area of ​​corn, but it was not the large area I imagined. The endless plain was completely covered by the knotted corn stalks, and only a patch of green branches and leaves could be seen in front of me.

"Aren't you going to do something else?" Xu Qing stood up and looked around.

"do what?"

"You can do some exciting things in the corn field."

"If you like, I can let you know what it means to be exciting." Jiang He's eyebrows twitched.

"You misunderstood. I meant that there is no one here and there is no surveillance. You can use Qinggong to show me whether you can run as fast as that motorcycle."

Xu Qing looked at the dust going away, and a picture of Zhou Xingxing and the charterer running wildly on the road with their legs crossed came to mind.

It's an exaggeration. It should be like a fairy, and the worst thing is that it can run fast and jump high.

"It still doesn't work." Jiang He shook his head, patted the dirt on his butt and prepared to go back.

"Um?"

"It's good to be a normal person, you said so."

"..."

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, then smiled and held up the umbrella, "Yes, let's go back."

The two of them turned around and walked back toward Beicheng District. Jiang He jumped slightly, caught up, took Xu Qing's arm, and hid under his umbrella.
