"No delay, let's go down the floor now." Mu Xiu heard that Mu Shui and Chen Jianqiang had already started picking cotton, so she hurriedly put her bag on the stone table in the yard and was about to go down the floor.

"Your father and Mr. Chen went to the field at around five o'clock. They drove the tractor. You can drive the ox cart over." Zhou Shuilian said.

"Well, mom, you cook your meal at home, I'll come back to get it at noon." Mu Xiaoshu explained.

Mu Xiu's commander Chen Xuhui picked up a few farm tools, and suddenly remembered something. Mu Xiu turned his head and said to Zhou Shuilian, "Mom, find a long-sleeved person for us, as well as a hat and a mask, otherwise it would be uncomfortable for cotton wool to enter our nose."

"You are careful. Your father came back yesterday and sneezed a dozen times. I wondered if he had a cold. It seems that cotton wool was probably entering his nostrils. We don't understand. You must be like this when you say it. Wait, I'll take two more long clothes and masks and take them to your father and the others." Zhou Shuilian quickly took out a few worn and patched clothes when he entered the house.

Mu Chunfeng stayed at home to play with Xiaohua, Zhou Shuilian cooked, Mu Xiu, Chen Xuhui and Mu Xiaoshu drove the ox cart and arrived in the field soon.

"This cotton is really beautiful when it blooms." Chen Xuhui was first seen with so many cotton. He exclaimed, and saw cotton bolts grinning and spitting out white and fluffy cotton. There were a lot of cotton bolts on the cotton branches, bent all the cotton branches.

"Sister, Brother Chen, you put on your clothes, put on your mask and hat, let's start taking it from here." Mu Xiu pointed to Tianlong next to him.

"Okay, I just haven't picked cotton before, how do I pick it?" Chen Xuhui asked curiously while putting on his clothes.

"Come on, I'll teach you." Mu Xiu took the protection and walked into the cotton field with a basket. She pinched the four cotton petals with her fingers, then pulled them out. In this way, the whole cotton was picked without reservation.

"This is a good flower, just pick it like this." Mu Xiu turned around and said to the two of them.

"Good flower?" Mu Xiaoshu looked surprised.

"Yes, when picking cotton, you must pick the flowers, stagnant petal cotton and floor-floor cotton separately, dry them separately, store them separately, and not mix them together, so that the price will be sold later." After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he picked up the stagnant petal cotton and floor-floor cotton and told them to the two of them.

Mu Xiaoshu and Chen Xuhui began to follow suit, grabbing each other. At first, the two were a little unskilled. After picking a few times, they found that the two of them were faster.

"Sister, Brother Chen, you can't pick cotton like this. You have to pick it one by one, so that it will not be easy to pick it up and will not be wasted." As soon as Mu Xiu finished speaking, he heard Mu Xiaoshu exclaim.

It turned out that she had her hands cut by a cotton shell. Mu Xiu quickly took out the complex iodine and tape, disinfected it and pasted it on it. At the same time, Chen Xuhui also hung the color.

People who have never picked cotton were easily cut at first. Mu Xiu bandaged their wounds and made another demonstration, "Look, when picking cotton, you must move quickly so that your fingers will not be cut."

Mu Xiaoshu and Chen Xuhui picked cotton again, and their speed was getting faster and faster and more skilled. Mu Xiu walked to the side, stood on the ridge and began to shout, "Dad, Mr. Chen, where are you?"

I shouted several times in a row. In the cotton field about a hundred meters away from them, a white towel was waving, and a scattered sound came.

Mu Xiu walked over there quickly, and after walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at Mu Shui's side.

After Mu Xiu saw Mushui and Uncle Chen, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

They were both covered in dust, with white flocs on their hair and beards, and there were several wounds on their arms, which were obviously cut by cotton shells.

"Ah snee." Mushui couldn't help but sneeze.

"Dad, Mr. Chen, you guys are picking cotton like this. I don't know how to take some protective measures. Look, you should be like me." Mu Xiu took out his clothes, masks and towels, and helped them wear them, and wrapped them all in their hair.

"Hey, this is great, your nose will not itch." Mu Shui took a breath and did not sneeze like he did just now.

"The first time I picked cotton, I had no experience. I thought I could bear it and I would go there. I will know next time." After Mr. Chen was fully armed, he felt much more comfortable. Except for a little hot, there was nothing wrong with the rest.

"Dad, it's best to pick this cotton after the sun rises, otherwise it will be a little wet after a night and it will be unclean when picked." Mu Xiu stood up, looked around, and saw that the cotton field had been picked, but it was messy, and some branches still had cotton that had not been picked off.

Mu Xiu taught Mushui and Chen Jianqiang how to pick cotton again.

"Show, you are still good at it, you can do anything." Mushui has been picking cotton for two days, and they are always picking it randomly, and they are always not picking it clean, leaving some in pieces.

"Dad, let's pick it quickly. We can only stay at home for two days." After Mu Xiu said that, he walked to the side and started picking.

Mushui and Mr. Chen have been picking cotton for two days, and more than acre of land next to it has been picked. Mu Xiu and his friends came back, and the five of them picked all day. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening that they dragged their tired bodies back home.

After a quick meal, everyone had to rest after washing. Chen Xuhui was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, but he still forced himself to start doing his homework. Mu Xiu had no handwritten homework because he was right, but he had tasks to memorize.

Mu Xiu took out the instant coffee, brewed two cups, drank one cup by himself, picked up the other cup, and went to Chen Xuhui's door and knocked on the door.

Chen Xuhui held the pen and looked at the topic. He was very tired. In addition, there was no electricity in the village now, and there was only kerosene lamps. His eyes were so fumigated by kerosene that he couldn't open his head. He started to look down little by little. Just when he was about to fall down, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Chen Xuhui stood up and rubbed his eyes hard, then opened the door. When he saw Mu Xiu outside the door, he immediately became more energetic.

"Brother Chen, if you drink this, you won't be sleepy." Mu Xiu handed the coffee to Chen Xuhui.

"What is this?" Chen Xuhui took the coffee and asked. Without waiting for Mu Xiu to respond, he raised his head and drank all the cups. However, after drinking, his brows frowned.

"It's so bitter, is this medicine?"

"This is coffee, which can refresh yourself. I'm too tired today, but if I don't do my homework, I don't have any other time to write." Mu Xiu said helplessly.

"That's just that I'm tired these two days. Fortunately, I don't have much homework this week, but there are a few questions I don't understand very well." Chen Xuhui felt it was inappropriate when he said it.
