Mother Lan's hands and feet are very nimble, after killing, boil water, start scalding and plucking, and it didn't take long to get better.

After cleaning up in the kitchen, slaughtering it, and then coming out wearing a straw hat, turning over the rice with a grab, and then going to the kitchen after finishing it.

The three young people took a nap and slept soundly, and Mother Lan immediately began to cook the rice, thinking that the rice would be cooked so that everyone could go out to thresh the remaining rice, and after the beating, they would come back immediately to heat it up and eat.

Ma's father is a little busy in the clinic alone, usually when Lan Xiang is there, he does less, Lan Xiang cooks lunch, and his son comes to help on vacation, and he will be better.

I'm used to the busy days before, and I feel that there is nothing, but as I get older, I feel more and more powerless.

Especially after the death of his wife, he relied on himself to wash clothes and cook, and Ma's father also got married at the age of thirty-two.

Mother Lan burned the firewood very vigorously, cooked it quickly, and when it was cooked, she quickly took it away and began to braise the duck, which had already soaked the soybeans.

Accustomed to cooking wood and stir-frying by himself, when the smell of oil wafted out, Lan Xiang smelled it, and so did Lan Cheng and them, and slowly woke up.

I got up from the bed, walked out slowly, and looked at the sun outside, it was still so big.

Lan Xiang came to the kitchen and saw that her mother was burning the fire, so she called her mother, and Lan's mother immediately smiled and said, "You are up, Lan Xiang, now stir-fry, braised duck." ”

Lan Xiang immediately opened the lid of the pot and looked at it before saying, "Mom, you're so fast, I'll light the fire, you can rest." ”

Mother Lan smiled and said okay, stood up and washed out the other two vegetables, and fried them too.

Lan Cheng and the others also got up, looked at the time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, they walked out, and saw the sun outside, it was still a clear sky.

Lan Cheng came to the corner of the hall next to the wall, which was covered with a plastic bag, and he immediately opened it and saw a threshing machine placed there.

Ma Deze walked over and asked him, "Second brother, what is this?"

Lan Cheng pointed to this machine and said, This is a threshing machine, it has been used for several years, now we will wait to carry it out and use this to thresh rice.

Looking at the iron hooks bent above, neatly arranged, and there was a pedal below, Ma Deze looked at it for a while and immediately asked, "Second brother, why didn't you carry it out in the morning?"

Lan Cheng squatted down and examined it carefully before saying, "This machine will save more effort to beat rice, but be careful not to hurt your hands."

In addition, although it is fast, a lot of grain grass will be rolled in when beating, and it will take a lot of time to clean it when it is dry.

It's been seven years now, and it's not that good, so you need to apply some oil. Now I only grow one field of rice, so I can beat it by hand.

If you used to plant three fields, you would use this, and you were tired in the morning, so we carried it out in the afternoon and tried it, and we could use this. ”

Listening to Lan Cheng's careful introduction, Ma Deze nodded and said okay, Lan Cheng found the engine oil and carefully poured it on the position of the gear above.

Wait until all the oil is applied before stopping, the two of them sit down to rest, and Mother Lan and they have already fried the vegetables.

Put all the dishes in the pot and cover with a lid.

Lan's mother and the others came over and called Lan Cheng, saying that they had cooked the rice and could go out now.

Lan Cheng nodded and said okay, the two mothers and daughters walked forward with tools, the sun was not so big, Lan Cheng and Ma Deze carried the threshing machine out.

After closing the door, the two of them slowly carried it with a flat pole, fortunately, it was not very heavy, Ma Deze walked in front, Lan Cheng walked in the back, and carried it carefully.

As he walked, he said, "Brother-in-law, if you are tired, you have to talk about it." ”

Ma Deze nodded and said okay, the two mothers and daughters walked quickly, and it didn't take long for them to reach the edge of the field and start to cut the field.

Carried all the way to the edge of the field, Lan Cheng and the others slowly put it down, and the two of them took a breath, but fortunately they finally arrived.

Lan Cheng went down to the field and pushed the mixing bucket over, and Ma Deze put the threshing machine into the mixing bucket and placed it. Push to the middle.

When Lan's mother saw it, she said loudly: "Lan Cheng, you are using a threshing machine now, you have to teach the pony first, you know?"

Lan Cheng immediately said loudly that he knew. Mother Lan continued to turn around and cut.

The two of them began to hold the rice and fight, the golden rice grains were full, Ma Deze hugged it first, and watched how Lan Cheng beat it first.

I saw Lan Cheng turn on the switch of the threshing machine, his left foot stepped on the pedal, and his right foot stepped on the field, and the threshing machine began to rotate with Lan Cheng's stepping.

The speed was very fast, Lan Cheng hugged the rice stalk tightly with both hands, and fed the rice into the machine, which made a rumbling sound.

With the high-speed operation of the machine, all the rice grains fell off and fell into the mixing bucket. Seeing that Lan Cheng finished beating the two bundles, Ma Deze told Lan Cheng to stop.

Lan Cheng immediately said yes, put down his left foot, and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, you have to hold the rice stalk tightly, and don't stretch your hand too close." ”

Ma Deze nodded and said okay, the two of them stood together, Lan Cheng stepped on his left foot, Ma Deze stepped on his right foot, and the two of them stepped on it carefully.

The machine rumbled again, and Madeze clung to it, carefully feeding the straw into the machine.

When the rice in his hand was cleaned, he threw it aside like Lan Cheng, and at this time Lan Xiang came over and handed him the rice in his hand, and he immediately took it.

Feed it carefully to the threshing machine, the speed is fast, and Mother Lan also sent the cut rice over first.

This saves a lot of effort, and the speed is also fast, and it doesn't take long to finish the front of the cut.

Lan Cheng and Ma Deze stopped, Lan Cheng looked at Ma Deze and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I'll go to cut the rice first, and you will fight first." Be careful, you can take your time. ”

Ma Deze nodded and said okay, Lan Cheng turned around and took the iron gauze knife to cut the rice, the mother and son cut, Ma Deze stepped on the pedal with his right foot, and they cut it and sent it over.

Ma Deze stepped carefully, it was a little laborious to step on it alone, Ma Deze's speed began to slow down, and the sweat on his face flowed down.

The rice stalk was swept into it a lot, it seemed that it was still stepped on by two people, and the strength was more even, and after beating for a while, Lan Cheng saw that there had been a lot of piles that had not been beaten.

hurriedly walked over and shouted to his brother-in-law to stop first, Ma Deze said okay, and the two started fighting together. It's fast again.

After a while, the fight was over, Lan Cheng and Ma Deze stopped, he smiled and asked his brother-in-law to cut and fight alone.

Ma Deze said yes, and walked towards the rice in the field with an iron money knife.

Lan Xiang saw him coming over and said with a smile: "Deze, you are here, I will teach you first." ”

Ma Deze smiled and said Okay, Lan Xiang began to teach, let him grasp the rice stalk with his left hand, and cut with a knife in his right hand, paying attention to the left hand to catch a little, so that it is not easy to cut.

After saying the demonstration, Ma Deze looked at it for a while, and immediately smiled and said, "Lanxiang, I know." ”

After speaking, he began to cut according to the method just now, and the leaves of the rice were a little painful on his face, and Ma Deze quickly moved his face away.

Lan Xiang and her mother were faster, and after cutting a large handful, they immediately hugged Lan Cheng to beat, and Lan Cheng's speed was also fast, and she could basically beat her.

Ma Deze's speed was slower, and he waited until he finished cutting a large handful before holding it to Lan Cheng.

Seeing that Lan Cheng could cope with it, he immediately said loudly: "Second brother, it's better for you to hurry." ”

Lan Cheng said while fighting: "You haven't beaten, you will definitely slow down, I have beaten, how much will you hurry." ”

Ma Deze smiled and said yes, turned around and went to cut again, slowly Ma Deze's speed was also faster, three people cut and one person beats, and the cut next to it is slowly piled up.

Sweat continued to flow down Lan Cheng's face, and he didn't have time to care about it, so Ma Deze immediately shouted to the second brother to stop.

Lan Cheng nodded and said yes, let go of his right foot, threw away the clean rice stalk, and wiped the sweat with his clothes.

The two of them began to fight together again, and by this time the mixing bucket was already full of rice. After fighting for a while, the two of them stopped and discussed picking them back first.

Lan Cheng called her mother and sister loudly and asked them to come over and help push them on the edge of the field, and the two mothers and daughters heard it and hurriedly said yes.

Coming over, the four men pushed together to the shore, filled the dustpan, and poured it into the bucket.

This time, they took two more buckets, and when the four buckets were filled, Lan Cheng and Ma Deze wiped their feet with grain grass and put on their shoes.

The two of them walked away one after the other, and seeing her son and son-in-law leaving, Lan's mother was relieved, and Lan Xiang poured boiling water and told her mother to drink.

Lan's mother drank it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Lan Xiang, in fact, the pony is still quite diligent, and people like you, so they will come to my house to help with farm work." You have to be nice to people. ”

Lan Xiang called her mother and said with a smile: "I know, your son-in-law is good, don't worry, we will live a good life." ”

Mother Lan nodded and said that it would be good, the two mothers and daughters took a break and began to cut the rest, only a little, and they could finish this afternoon.

Lan Cheng and Ma Deze picked it up, Lan Cheng picked more, rested twice on the road, gritted his teeth and finally picked it home.

Ma Deze picked less, and stopped three times on the road before picking it back.

The two boys arrived home one after another, sweating like rain, their hair was all wet, and the back of the clothes they were wearing was wet.

The two of them hurriedly poured the rice on the mat to dry, and Lan Cheng brought a wooden shovel and quickly pushed it away to dry.

The two of them went out with the basket again, and Ma Deze said as he walked: "You should be able to finish the fight today, Lan Cheng, you guys are doing a great job." ”

Lan Cheng nodded yes, and seeing that some of the fields had been cut along the way, the two of them quickened their pace.

Soon it arrived, the two mothers and daughters had already been cut and put there, and the two boys put away the baskets, took off their shoes and went to the field.

They began to step on the threshing machine together, holding the rice that was placed there, and it didn't take long for the two mothers and daughters to finally finish cutting and carry all the rice over.

Standing next to help hand, after a while, when the fight was finally over, the two boys stopped, put the rice into the basket, and after loading, Lan Cheng picked it up and left.
