The Qin family has a total of three acres and two acres of land, one is larger, and the other is less than one acre, divided into two places.

Qin Ruhai rode to a large piece of land, and the scene he saw in front of him almost stunned him.

More than one meter high weeds cover the entire cultivated land, and the left and right neighbors of the land formed a sharp contrast, the corn stalks on both sides are less than a meter, wilting, a listless and wilted look, and the weeds in his field are growing gratifying, some have matured, bear a lot of seeds, butterflies, bees, grasshoppers, etc., flying around, so unhappy, there are a lot of pheasants and pigeons walking back and forth, it has become a veritable insect paradise.

Qin Ruhai stopped the car, took off the sickle, rolled up his sleeves, strode to the ground, bent down to cut the first handful of weeds, and suddenly frightened many wild pigeons, flapped their wings and flew to the power line above the ground, stopping to watch.

Piles of weeds were neatly stacked on the ridges, and nothing was wasted.

After slashing for more than two hours in a row, Qin Ruhai felt dizzy, so he stopped to rest. By this time, it was late afternoon, and a cool breeze was wafting in the air.

Qin Ruhaikou was dry, his limbs were sore, and there was no tea and steamed bread around him, he didn't eat or drink much at noon, and he had no strength, and it was difficult to get up again as soon as he sat down.

After relieving for a while, Qin Ruhai continued to bend down to mow the grass, not caring about resting and panting, until the moon hung and the stars twinkled, and then straightened up to look at the results of the afternoon.

After a lot of indiscriminate mowing, the weeds of more than two acres disappeared by about 20% at once, but this is already a very rare achievement.

But Qin Ruhai was not satisfied, so he tied up two piles of weeds with difficulty, tied them firmly to the motorcycle piggyback, and slowly drove the car back home.

When I got home, I put down the bundles of weeds, spread them out to dry, made two bowls of egg noodles, ate and drank a meal, and rode back to the field.

Qin Ruhai planned to come all night, but he didn't care about his back pain, and he chopped frantically until dawn, when he really didn't have the strength, so he returned home with two bundles of grass.

In the afternoon and evening, Qin Ruhai cut off a small half of the weeds in the field, although the roots left behind were uneven, long and short, but he had already exerted all his strength, which was a great achievement.

After a short rest at home, he took out the hay cutter and barely managed the grass alone, and it took more than two hours to slowly put four bundles of wild grass about three centimeters long into a nylon woven bag, tied to the back of the motorcycle seat and pushed to Li Ergen's house.

Li Ergen was a little surprised and surprised when he saw his mental fatigue and weakness, and while helping to unload the hay, he asked with concern: "Haiwa, this grass is from your field, right?

Qin Ruhai said: "From yesterday afternoon to this morning, I stayed up all night, and I have cut off a small half, and I will get it today, and it is estimated that there is not much left." ”

When Li Ergen heard this, he was so frightened that he cried out, "Ah? What are you talking about? You didn't sleep all night last night and cut the grass in the field?

Qin Ruhai smiled and said, "Yes, since you have decided to farm, you should suffer a little, what can you do without sleeping all night, and you have to stay up all night tonight!"

Li Ergen hurriedly persuaded: "Haiwa, why are you in such a hurry? You are weak and can't withstand such a toss." Don't come nonsense yet, wait for me to find a few helpers, and mow the grass with you, it takes time and effort to be alone, you listen to me. ”

Qin Ruhai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I understand your kindness, I don't want to trouble others about mowing the grass, or let me come by myself, I can't stand this little suffering, what else can I do in the future? ”

Li Ergen understood Qin Ruhai's temper, and seeing that he insisted on objecting, he didn't want to be reluctant anymore, "Alas, okay, let's go over together, you don't need help from others, you can always let me go over and have a look, right?"

Qin Ruhai saw that he really wanted to help, and he didn't shirk it, and said with a smile: "Hehe, since my uncle is fine, then help me go over and have a look, and by the way, I will ask you about farming." ”

Li Ergen smiled and added some of the forage to the wooden box, sat in the back seat, and rode to the field with Qin Ruhai.

"Haiwa, you are really amazing, you cut down more than an acre of weeds in one night, it won't be that you don't have a minute to rest......, right? You kid, how can you work so hard?"

"Hehe, uncle, isn't this forced to be a hero?

"Although this stubble has grown a little longer, it is already rare. Bring the sickle here, I'll cut it for a while, and then you bale it up and take it home and spread it out to dry, don't pile it up, because it will turn yellow and wilt, and the sheep will have a swollen stomach if you eat it. ”

Qin Ruhai handed over the sickle, agreed, and quickly collected the bundle of weeds.

"Haiwa, don't worry about ploughing the land, I have ploughing oxen, put on the ploughshare, you can get it done in the morning, don't be reckless with a shovel to turn the ground, this must be ploughed deep and ploughed thoroughly, otherwise these grasses will grow again, and if you bury it deeply, you won't need to apply farm fertilizer in the next year." ”

"Well, I know, uncle, thank you!"

"Hehe, this kid is still polite to me. Hehe......"

Qin Ruhai saw that Li Ergen's subordinates were skilled, and after a while, he cut down a large piece, so he was ashamed of himself, and stood aside to watch how he made the sickle.

Li Ergen saw the clue, stood up and said: "This sickle should be held steadily, look at the root, work hard, not too hard." I don't have to look to know that you must have a few blood blisters on your hands, and you can't stretch your hand with the scythe. You're not holding the handle tightly, and you're chopping and chopping. Cutting wheat is also such a skill, you have to use skill, not brute force, then your arm is sore, swollen and painful, and it will not be relieved in a few weeks. Look, do I have blood blisters on my hands? Hehe, not even a blister. So, you have to use your brain more in everything, it's fast and good, and it saves time and effort, do you see me gasping? No, hehe, learn a little, silly boy!"

Qin Ruhai slowly stretched out his hand, three purple-black blood blisters had been ground out on the palm of the scythe, which was about to break, and there were still a lot of calluses and blisters at the base of his fingers, which hurt to the touch, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

"Hehe, I'm not wrong, right? Forget it, today you are only responsible for transporting the grass home to dry, and I will leave the mowing of the grass to me. It's hard for you to even hold things with your hands, and if you cut it again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even get dressed and untie your hands. Hehe, hurry up, go back this time and tell your aunt to cook your meal too, so that she can make it more hearty. Come back quickly, there is still a lot of grass here, you have to take it back and spread it out as soon as possible, otherwise it will wilt!"

Qin Ruhai saw the grass piles all over the ground, and also felt that time was pressing, so he rode a motorcycle and returned home.
