After Chen Shaoke came out, he called his grandfather loudly, and his grandfather nodded and said okay, Chen's father and Chen's mother hurriedly took back the millet in the past nine days. Fortunately, there is only one field.

The family has four plots of land, and my grandfather only planted one field at home, and it took three days to plant it, and the two children had to study and had no time to help.

The other two paddy fields were rented to others for planting, and one dry field was planted with vegetables. Only two pieces of soil were planted, and the other two were rented to others.

After others planted it, they gave his grandfather 100 catties of millet and 200 catties of grain a year, and wrote a contract at that time, which was written by Chen's father.

Since Chen's mother went out with him, their family rented out a little bit, afraid that grandpa would be tired at home, although there were two children to help, but they were still studying.

So the family basically still has enough to eat, but the tuition fees have to be earned, and the house has to be repaired.

Since Shaofen stopped reading, he went out to work with them and came back to repair the house to earn money.

The next day after returning to his home, he began to thresh rice, and the five of them worked for a day.

I went out at eight o'clock in the morning and came back at eleven o'clock at noon, Chen's father and Chen's mother fought, the two children and their grandfather cut the rice, filled the mixing bucket, Chen's father and Chen's mother filled the bucket, and the two of them picked two and went back to dry.

In the first three years, Chen's father and Chen's mother did not ask for leave to come back, they were all played by Shaofen Shaoke and his grandfather, and they did not invite anyone, so they had to fight for two days. Fortunately, it was a holiday.

This year, my parents are back, and the three of them are relaxed, and in the first three years, Shaofen will also pick rice back, only half of it can be picked, less can be slightly more, they don't want grandpa to pick.

The two siblings stopped several times on the road before picking them home. After beating rice for the first time, Shaofen Shaoke's shoulders were red and swollen, his hands were blistered, his body was very itchy, and his whole body was very painful.

Thinking that it was hard for her parents to work outside to earn money, she quickly wiped her tears, knocked on her sister's room, asked her to open the door, gave her the painkiller plaster, and told her to stick it on her shoulder.

Shaofen said okay, the two brothers and sisters were seventeen years old at the time, Shao Ke didn't cry, and when Chen's mother was working at home, he would also help pick it, but he would pick very little.

Shaoke is much taller than his sister, and he knows that boys can't cry casually.

Grandpa was tired from working alone, and went to sleep after harvesting rice.

In the second year, the grandfather and grandson threshed the grain, and there was no threshing machine at home, and other people's families were also threshing, so it was not easy to rent.

In the second year, Shaofen didn't cry after the fight, because she was eighteen years old and an adult, so she was not qualified to cry, but after picking up the millet after beating it, she asked her brother to give her the painkiller plaster.

She immediately pasted it herself, so she didn't like threshing a little bit, but she was from the countryside, and that's all.

In the second year, it took two days to fight, and the two siblings slowly picked it back.

When threshing the grain in the third year, Shaofen went to the neighbor's house to ask, rented a threshing machine with them, and told his grandfather and brother not to threh first, but to dig the peanuts first, and then beat them in a few days.

Grandpa shook his head and said no, threshing depends on the weather, the sun is rhubarb, and it is good to dry it in the sun a few times.

Shaofen had to ask the neighbors again and ask them if they wanted to help, and her brother came with her to help his family threshing rice, and after the threshing, he lent the threshing machine to himself, and the neighbor's aunt said yes.

Shaofen went back and told her brother and grandfather, and her brother said yes, and she and her sister went to the neighbor's aunt's house, and only the youngest daughter in the eldest mother's house was studying at home, two years younger than the two siblings.

There was a shortage of manpower, and the two brothers and sisters came to help, the eldest mother and Shaoke carried the threshing machine to the front, and the eldest mother's daughters Chuntao and Shaofen walked to the back with tools.

After arriving, the eldest mother taught the three children to step on the threshing machine, and later Shao Ke and the eldest mother stepped on the threshing machine, Shaofen and Chun Tao cut rice, and when there was no more, Shao Ke went to help cut again.

At noon, the eldest lady invited the two siblings to dinner. After eating, I rested until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and went out to play again.

After a busy day, finally when it was dark, I finished beating the millet of the eldest mother's house, and Shaoke helped the eldest mother pick it up.

I picked back and forth with the eldest lady four times before I finished picking.

Chun Tao and Shaofen moved all the tools back. After a tiring day, sweat has already soaked my whole body. The two brothers and sisters said that they would come to carry the threshing machine tomorrow, and the eldest lady smiled and said yes, thank them.

The two siblings walked back, but fortunately the two families were close. After the eldest lady waited for them to leave, she quietly asked her daughter: "Chun Tao, what do you think of Brother Shaoke?"

It's very diligent, and you'll look for a boyfriend like this in the future. Alas, it is that the conditions in his home are average. ”

Chun Tao blushed, called her mother, and then said, "Mom, what are you doing here? I'm only seventeen years old, and you asked me to find a boyfriend, it's too early."

And our two families are so close, there are few people but my brother still has to study, and other people's ideas must be different, you are here to worry nonsense.

My sister is twenty years old, and she has been working for a year, why don't you ask her to find it. I still want to be quiet for a few years, it's too early to talk about friends. ”

Listening to what the youngest daughter said, the eldest mother had no choice but to say: "Your sister is working hard to earn money now, and she will send money back." If she finds a boyfriend, she won't send it.

Let her work for a few more years, and it is okay to get married at twenty-five, and when there is no object, it is okay to go on a blind date, and there are more places to use money when you get married.

It's the same for you, you have eight years to reach the age of twenty-five, you can work on your own, anyway, you don't owe money to your family, you have to remember. ”

Chun Tao immediately said I know, turned around and went to the kitchen.

When Shaofen Shaoke came home, her grandfather had already cooked the food and told them to wash their hands and eat. The two siblings nodded and said yes.

After washing his hands, grandpa had already brought the food to the table, the two siblings sat down, and grandpa asked while eating: "Shaoke, have you finished fighting for the eldest lady's family? Can you beat us tomorrow?"

Shaoke ate a lot, she was already hungry, and said while eating: "It's over, Shaofen and I will carry it over tomorrow, the eldest mother has promised, don't give her money, we have already helped her family fight, she said." ”

Grandpa smiled and said that it would be good, Shaofen said loudly while eating: "Grandpa, it's better to threshing the threshing machine to threak faster, we should buy one at home." ”

Grandpa said while eating: "I used to buy one, I used it for five years, and the neighbor rented it, and then it broke, and your mother was also at home at that time, and then she also went out to work."

If you only planted a field, you didn't buy it. We'll be able to collect it too. ”

The three grandchildren discussed what time they would get up tomorrow and strive to finish the fight in one day, and the two siblings said yes, they would get up at six o'clock and go out at half past six.

After the grandfather and grandson finished eating, the two siblings hurriedly packed up the dishes and went to wash, Shaoke went to burn firewood to hot bath water, and Shaofen washed the dishes.

Grandpa went and locked the chickens and ducks back in the house and fed the pig. Close the door and go back inside.

When the water was hot, the grandfather and grandson hurriedly went to wash.

After washing, the grandfather and grandson went back to the house to sleep, lit mosquito coils, worked very tired during the day, and were very sleepy, and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, the grandfather and grandson got up at six o'clock, the chickens outside had already crowed, and the day was almost dawn, so they hurriedly washed their hands and faces.

Grandpa boiled noodles on the fire, put three eggs, and after cooking, the three of them quickly ate a big bowl of noodles each.

After eating, the grandfather washed it, and the two siblings fed the chickens and ducks outside with corn, and slaughtered pigweed to feed the pigs.

After feeding, the door was closed, and the mixing bucket and mat were carried out first, and the grandfather followed behind with a basket.

The two brothers and sisters carried it carefully, but later they felt that the road was not easy to walk, so they bent down and resisted alone until they reached the shore of the field, and stopped twice on the road.

After arriving, the grandfather went to the field to cut first, and used the iron sand knife he brought to cut the rice stalks, and the two brothers and sisters turned around and went to the eldest mother's house.

Walking very quickly, it didn't take long for the two siblings to arrive, and the eldest lady had already gotten up and was drying rice there. Shaofang called out to the eldest mother.

When the eldest lady saw them coming, she hurriedly said, "You are here, carry it, in the hall." ”

Shaoke smiled and said yes, and said loudly: "Thank you, auntie, let's go carry it first." ”

When the two siblings came to the hall, they saw the threshing machine placed against the wall, walked over, tied it with a rope, put it in the middle of the rope with the straps they had brought, bent down and began to lift it up.

The rope is as thick as a thumb, Shaofen walked in front, Shao Ke walked behind, carefully carried out, and after seeing them come out, the eldest lady hurriedly told them to slow down.

They said yes as they walked, but Shao Ke held on to the back, and the rope was tied very firmly. Shaofen's strength was also great, and the two siblings stopped on the road, rested for a while, and carried them to the shore of the field.

After arriving, the two brothers and sisters carefully put it down, the grandfather had already cut a lot, put it on the shore of the field, and the two brothers and sisters carefully put the threshing machine into the mixing bucket and tied the mat. I rolled up my pants and went down to this paddy field.

Turn on the switch, Shao Ke began to step on the threshing machine, Shaofen took the iron sand knife to cut, and Shao Ke hugged all the rice on the bank of the field before starting to beat.

He carefully and vigorously stepped on his right foot, clinging to the stalks with both hands, and fed them into the threshing machine. When it was cleaned, it was thrown away on the shore of the field.

When Grandpa saw them coming, he sped up, cut a large handful, and sent them over in his arms. Shaofen too.

Shao Ke can cope with it, his speed is also fast, as the sun rises, the efforts of the grandfather and grandson, by almost noon, about half of the field has been beaten, and the grain in the mixing bucket is also full.

The grandfather and grandson stopped, helped push the mixing bucket to the shore of the field, and began to pack the basket, and after loading, the grandfather went back with the tools first.

The two brothers and sisters picked two baskets and went home by themselves, less can be more, less Fen is less. After two breaks on the road, Douda's sweat continued to flow, and the two siblings insisted on picking them home.

Grandpa had already taken out the mat, and when the two brothers and sisters arrived, they poured out the rice, Shaofen found a bamboo grab to pick out the grain grass, and Shaofen found a wooden shovel to push the rice evenly.

Grandpa went to cook, and when Shao Ke finished pushing, he went to the kitchen to help grandpa, and Shaofen took a straw hat to pick the grain grass before returning to the hall.

The sun was very hot, Shaofen found the pu fan and fanned it hard, and her face was flushed. In the past, my mother was at home, and she did all the work.

Now that I'm older, I should do it myself, Shaofen thought so, until it was cool, and Grandpa and Shaoke were also cooked.
