Early the next morning, every household in Lijia Village was ready, and under the order of the captain, the autumn harvest officially began.

The old lady and her son deliberately chose a remote place, and the old ladies in the province who have nothing to do every day ask and ask one after another, which is annoying.

As a result, before she started to work, Li Ende came over with a large family.

"Brother and sister, you're really early enough. Chen Fengzhen walked closer and put the basket he brought on the ground, which was prepared in the morning, "Why don't you wait for us for a while, don't say it's bad to do it together." ”

"Sister-in-law, no. The old lady had just walked a short distance to herself, and when she saw the eldest brother's family coming, she stopped what she was doing and turned her head to speak, "There are only a few of us in my family, and we can't eat much, just earn some work and enough rations, you have a lot of family, but don't delay you because of us." ”

Chen Fengzhen glanced at her with disgust, "How can it be so evil as you said, let's just work in one place and take care of it, and let's talk about the several young men in our family, what about doing more work." ”

"Uncle, I'll help you with the work. Because Li Zhaohe and his sister-in-law are classmates, they usually eat the delicious food of their uncle's house, so when it was time to contribute, he jumped out bravely and boldly.

"I'll do it for you, too. Li Fangping shouted after her brother.

"You guys give me a stop, I don't know how old I am, and I still want to do it. Wang Danfeng snorted his son's hair, "It's good that you can help your dad carry more bud rice sticks." ”

After she finished talking about her mischievous son, she turned her head and shouted to her sister-in-law and mother-in-law with a smile: "Auntie, look at me or not, I'll help you work." ”

The old lady also laughed, "No, you and I can't afford it." ”

The two families laughed a few words, and then hurriedly started working.

The autumn harvest in Lijia Village is still the old method before, the members work according to the ridge, and a small flag is inserted on the head of each ridge, and the members will pull out the small flag after collecting the ridge, and go to the accountant to register at night, and a small flag is counted as two centimeters.

The old lady and Chen Fengzhen chose the two ridges next to each other, just chatting while earning work, without delaying anything.

And now what can resonate with the two families is the problem of Li Dubao's work.

"Don't worry, I estimate that our Xiaobao's work is about the same, how can our Xiaobao say that he has also been a soldier, it is different from ordinary people. If the textile factory was recruiting, it would definitely want to be a soldier. Chen Fengzhen broke off a bud ear and threw it into the back basket next to her.

"Well, that's what I thought too, I'm not worried. Xiaobao is a letter of introduction from someone's army, and those people can't do without my Xiaobao for the sake of other people's troops. The old lady didn't know whether to comfort herself or her sister-in-law, anyway, she was very sure.

"Yes, yes, that's it. But we can't be careless, I heard Xiaobao say that, there are a lot of people who came back from the army this time, don't let others do it in the middle. This morning, I also told your eldest brother that the two of them will go to the county to have a look, and there is no harm in running diligently. ”

The old lady didn't squeak, and it was true. But now it's just in time for the autumn harvest, and she can let her son run to the county every day without earning work, but the eldest brother can't.

Although Li Ende is old, he can be regarded as the main labor force in the family, even if he delays a day, he will earn fifteen or sixteen fewer jobs.

"Don't go these days, this autumn harvest is not only our team's business, these ten miles and eight towns are almost these two days of autumn harvest, we work at home to earn work, people must be like this. "Those families are soldiers in the city, and they can't rob others even if they are diligent.

"Well, you're right, then wait for the autumn harvest to come, and let them run around the county more. To be honest, Chen Fengzhen also felt sorry for her work, so when she heard her say this, she was relieved.

"Uncle, why didn't my sister-in-law come?" Li Fangping kept following her little brother, and after a few laps, she noticed that her sister-in-law was not here, so she hurriedly came over to ask the old lady.

"I'll leave your sister-in-law to do some work at home, and your sister-in-law will be able to come over later. In fact, Yuan Si didn't get up, and the old lady was afraid that her daughter had a bad reputation, so she covered it up.

To say that the old lady also really feels sorry for her daughter, when she got up early this morning, she couldn't bear to wake her up when she saw her sleeping on the quilt. Finally, the school has a fall holiday, so I don't have to get up in the morning to go to school, so I can't let my daughter go for two days.

No, it was her and Xiaobao who came to work in the morning.

"Oh!" Li Fangping nodded sensibly, knowing that her sister-in-law didn't go to play by herself, she didn't worry about her sister-in-law, so she turned around and followed her brother around.

was interrupted by her little granddaughter, and Chen Fengzhen noticed something.

"Brother and sister, why didn't your eldest come?" asked Chen Fengzhen curiously.

It is said that Li Yuanyi is defecting to her mother's family, thinking that at a time like this, anyone with a conscience will work with the old lady, after all, she is younger than the old lady, and she can help the old lady to some extent.

"She said yesterday that she wanted to work with me, I don't want to take advantage of the two of them, it's better to do their own work. "Don't you say that the old lady holds a grudge, when Wang Ya said that she took advantage of the two of them, she still remembers it now.

The old lady thought of the angry little cub, and kicked the bud pole that had just finished breaking the ears down.

"Uncle, you and my grandmother can just break the bud rice, and we will help you kick the bud rice pole in the back. Li Zhaohe suddenly came out from behind.

"Oh my mother, you little scared me to death. Chen Fengzhen was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and patted her chest tightly to calm her rapidly beating heart.

"Hehe, milk, why are you so cowardly, I didn't even shout. Li Zhaohepi couldn't do it, he didn't take what his grandmother said seriously, and saw that there was a bud rice pole standing in front of his grandmother, and when he went up, he kicked the bud rice pole down.

This two centimeters per ridge is not so easy to earn, not to mention the length of each ridge, when the harvest can not be broken off the rice ears to be finished, but also responsible for two days to pull out the dried bud rice pole in the field. Now I just haven't finished breaking a bud pole, so I kick the bud pole with my foot to mark it.

"You stinky boy has peeled again, right, if you don't work hard, I'll let your dad fix you when I get home." Wang Danfeng's voice came from the front.

She was faster than the hands and feet of the two old ladies, and she had already done it to the front.

"Mom, you're too wronged, I'm helping, okay, just look at the old sweat on my head, you know how much work I've done?" Li Zhaohe was not convinced.

"Not necessarily, you can sweat so much just by jumping around on the ground for a while without working. Yuan Si, who had just come over, heard this and unceremoniously lifted his old bottom.

"Ah, sister-in-law, you're here, and I'm just going to go home and help you with your work. ”
