Halfway up a remote mountain, in front of a simple thatched hut, a large plot of land had been dug out to plant vegetables. At this time, a burly man in gray who looked to be about forty years old was holding a hoe in his hand and digging up the soil. Sweat seeped from his tanned forehead, dripping down his cheeks and dripping onto the soil.
The man worked in the field and every time he swung his hoe, he would release some sweat. The sound of the hoe digging into the soil became a unique sound in this quiet place.
Inside the thatched hut, a white haired old woman walked out with a bamboo basket in one hand and a water bottle in the other. Her hair was white and her face was covered in wrinkles. Her back was slightly bent and her figure was small and thin. Every step she took was very slow.
When the man swinging the hoe saw the old woman walking towards him, he quickly put down the hoe in his hand and quickly walked forward. He took the things in her hand and put them to the side. He held her hand and scolded, "Didn't you say you didn't need to give me water and food? It's so close. If I'm hungry or thirsty, I'll go home to drink. "
As he said this, he held her hand and took the cloth covering the basket and put it on the ground, "Come, sit down."
The old woman revealed a smile and warmly said, "I can still carry this. It's not heavy." As she said this, she poured a cup of water for him and pulled him to the side to sit down. She said, "Drink a cup of water! Look at how much sweat you're sweating. "As she said this, she took out a handkerchief and helped him wipe the sweat off his face.
The man sat beside her and looked at her with a gentle gaze. He allowed her to help him wipe off his sweat. Looking at her gentle gaze, she carefully helped him wipe off his sweat. He held her hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to wipe. Sit for a while and the sweat will dry." As he said this, he drank the water in the cup and poured another cup for her, "You should also drink a cup! It's hot today, drink more water. "
The old woman smiled and took the teacup in his hand. She held the teacup with both hands. Because she was old, her hands were slightly trembling and the water in the cup was also gently swaying. Seeing this, the man's heart ached and a trace of pain flashed through his eyes.
However, the pain in his eyes disappeared in an instant. When he saw her look at him after drinking the water, a smile appeared on his face again and he picked up the cornbread in the basket to eat.
The old woman sat beside him with one hand held by him. She looked at the vegetable field in front of her and her old voice was gentle as she said, "These vegetables are growing very well. They can be picked in a few days. When the time comes, I'll dry them and make dried vegetables for you to eat in the future...."
"Dry them and make them into dried vegetables. We can eat them in the future." The man who was eating cornbread emphasized and looked at her.
Hearing this, the old woman smiled helplessly, "Alright, we'll eat them together after they're dried."
Hearing this, the man smiled and pointed to the half plowed open space in front of them, "By tonight, I'll be done plowing this new piece of land. When the time comes, I'll move two fruit trees to the left and right sides. Next year, we can eat the fruits we planted. What do you think we should plant in the middle?"
The two sat in front of the vegetable field and chatted. The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of the wind and their low voices could be heard.
