When the wheat is ripe, harvesting the wheat is not called harvesting, but harvesting. www.biquge.info Because the wheat is ripe for only a few days, if it is not harvested in time, the wheat will fall off to the ground, and the harvest will be in vain. And because when it is sold, it is Futian, and it rains a lot ~ God, and when it rains, the wheat grains can germinate on the ears of wheat.

Harvesting wheat is to grab the harvest with God, and it must be called harvesting.

Today, Lao Xia's family has dozens of acres of land, and all they grow are wheat. Before harvesting the wheat, the big guys gathered in the backyard to discuss.

"Your second brother doesn't have a letter yet, so I have to bring him another letter and ask him to come back and harvest wheat quickly. Old Man Xia took a puff of dry cigarette and said with a serious face.

Because the wheat was about to be harvested, Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia to bring a letter to Second Uncle Xia in Fucheng several days in advance, asking him to spare time to collect wheat at home no matter what.

But the letter was brought over, but Second Uncle Xia never replied to the letter, it was said that he was too busy.

That is, it is too far away, otherwise Old Man Xia would like to go to Fucheng in person and bring Second Uncle Xia back. Now he said that if he asked someone to send a letter, everyone would naturally have no objections.

"It's that he earns more money and doesn't take the wheat of these acres of land seriously. That can't spoil things, that's a loser, it's going to be damned. Old Man Xia still had a serious face, but he couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.

The feelings of the farmers for the land and crops are passed down from the bones of the ancestors, and it is difficult for outsiders to really understand them.

But Second Uncle Xia's family came back from Fucheng to harvest wheat, and there was still a shortage of manpower.

"The last time I went back and said that the family had planted wheat, my father said that he would bring him a letter when he harvested the wheat, and he would bring my brothers to help with the harvest. Uncle Xia said.

Old Man Xia's face softened. He and Aunt Xia's father are old friends who have known each other since they were young, and it is because of this relationship that they have made relatives to Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia.

Now the three daughters-in-law in the family are the most worry-free for Uncle Xia. This is also the reason why Old Man Xia was particularly keen on matching May and Qian Yuelai.

To be a family member, you have to know the roots, and if the two elders have a relationship, it will be perfect.

"Your father is not too young, just let your brother come. Old Man Xia asked Aunt Xia very kindly.

"My father said he would come, and he couldn't rest assured that he wouldn't be relieved if he didn't watch us harvest all the wheat. Aunt Xia said that she promised that her mother's family would be able to come with at least four strong laborers.

With these four strong laborers, plus the two of them, Uncle Xia's family will not have to worry about harvesting the wheat. Of course, they don't think about their own family.

Old Man Xia is still there, and the plots of the brothers are next to each other, so they will naturally help each other when the time comes. First of all, Uncle Xia can't watch his father take his little brother to harvest the ten acres of wheat by himself.

Xia Zhi listened to everyone while thinking in his heart. With the foreign aid of Aunt Xia San's mother's family, everyone's wheat seems to be harvested. But when it comes to harvesting, who knows if God will turn his face, then naturally the more people, the better. And her family harvests wheat, so Xia Qiao alone can withstand labor.

Tian never worked in the field since he arrived at Xia's house. This is the benefit that Xia Xiucai won for the Tian family, on the one hand, he took Mrs. Xia as an example, on the other hand, there are few fields in the mountains, and the old man Tian's family has no land, and the Tian family will take care of the fruit trees, but she really hasn't planted the land.

As for Xiao Shu'er, although he can also pick up a sickle, it is still too early to use it.

Xia Zhi touched his arm again, and there was some flesh on his thin arm, which was softer than before, but there were still some small muscles under the soft flesh. It turns out that Xiao Xia Zhi is a good hand in the field at home, and it seems that he can work at most half a laborer.

But at this time, Xia Solstice is not so confident. She had never experienced the wheat harvest herself, and although she claimed to be hard-working, she didn't want to do something she wasn't sure about.

"Master, I'm going to hire a few short-term workers. Xia Zhi said, this is what she is going to do.

"Sixteen, don't spend that money. Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San were busy talking. A few days ago, Aunt Xia specially sent a letter to her mother's family, so that her mother's family could have a few more people. At that time, the plan was to help Xia Solstice harvest the wheat.

Xia Zhi is really good to the big guy this time, Uncle Xia and Uncle Xia return the favor, and naturally want to help Xia Zhi.

"I know that the third uncle and the third aunt must have planned my family in it. Xia Zhi smiled, "However, who is suspicious at this time." It's just to spend a few dollars, let's harvest the wheat early, it's better than anything else. ”

Xia Zhi roughly calculated an account, and it seems that he has made up his mind to hire a short-term worker. Old Man Xia knew that Xia Zhi now had enough money to hire a short-term worker, so he nodded and agreed.

On the first day of the wheat harvest, before dawn, Xia Zhi heard a slight hint in the hall, and she immediately opened her eyes. It was still dark and dreary, and there was no light at all. But Sun Lan'er's quilt next to her was empty.

Sun Lan'er had already gotten up and started cooking in the hall.

Xia Zhi got up lightly, and slept on the mat on the other side without alarming, with a thin quilt on his belly. When she came to the hall, she saw that the eldest girl was burning the fire under the stove, and Sun Lan'er had already put the cooked rice out of the pot.

"Sixteen, why didn't you sleep more?" Seeing Xia Solstice coming out, Sun Lan'er smiled and whispered.

"I woke up, I couldn't sleep. Sister Lanzi, why don't you call me when you get up?" Xia Zhi said.

"I wake up early, you can sleep more. You don't need to cook either. Sun Lan'er took it for granted, "Hurry up and wash your face, I'll prepare water for you." Don't draw water from the well, it's cold. ”

"Hey. Xia Solstice said yes and went out.

At this time, Tian's, Erya, Xia Qiao and Xiaoshu'er also got up. None of them raised their voices, nor did they light candles, they only took advantage of the faint light of the sky to do things silently~ things, and before they got to the ground, there was already a tense atmosphere of grabbing the harvest.

When the summer solstice was washed quickly, the little black fish also got up. He came to sleep last night, and today he will go to harvest wheat with Xia Zhi.

The little black fish can take care of himself, and he washes his face with two handfuls of ground, and then he doesn't use a towel to wipe it, but shakes his head, and plans to dry it so naturally. Xia Zhi couldn't help laughing beside him, feeling that the little black fish shook his head, clearly like a fluffy puppy.

Of course, she wouldn't tell the little black fish about this idea.

Xia Zhi grabbed the little black fish, carefully washed his hands and face with fragrant pancreas, and then wiped it clean with his own towel. Leather children like Little Black Fish in the village often have poor personal hygiene.

But the little black fish is an exception, not because he loves cleanliness very much, but Mrs. Xia loves cleanliness, and she must take care of her little son every day. As long as the little black fish is a little dirty, Mrs. Xia can't stand it, and she must clean it up immediately.

The little black fish is here on the summer solstice, and the summer solstice naturally helps him clean up carefully. Because of this, Mrs. Xia has a very good impression of the summer solstice.

Today's breakfast at Xia Zhi's house is sorghum rice rice, cold tofu, and two side dishes pickled on the summer solstice. The food here was put on the table, and Xiao Shu'er had already gone to the Sun family next door to invite Sun Lao Wu over.

Xia Solstice wanted to hire short-term workers to help harvest wheat, and finally invited Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er's father and daughter, which is why Sun Lan'er slept here last night on the summer solstice.

On the summer solstice, he wanted to invite someone, and Sun Lao Wu wanted to take Sun Lan'er to work part-time to make money while the wheat was harvesting. Although he didn't want to see Sun Wang's family, and there would be some troubles when he encountered it, Xia Zhi still took the initiative to invite the father and daughter.

Mainly for Sun Lan'er. Whoever she works for is done, but if she works here, Xia Solstice can guarantee that Sun Lan'er will be more comfortable and have better treatment.

For Xia Zhi to invite Sun Lan'er and his son to do short-term work, Tian is supportive. She is now more closely associated with the Sun Wang. Naturally, there were no objections from Sun Wang's side.

Ask Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er to work, and the summer solstice will not suffer. Although Sun Wang's family is disgusted, Sun Lao Wu is a good hand at work, and he is very sincere. Not to mention Sun Lan'er, she is willing to contribute to the work of Xia Zhi's family.

After breakfast, everyone set off with stars and moons.

Only Tian stayed at home alone, she was responsible for cooking, and the rest of the people, except for the little black fish, were all one person with a sickle. The eldest and second girls also confiscated wheat at home. Although the old man's family bought land, the land in the mountains was thin, and they could not grow wheat, so they could only grow sorghum, bud rice and sweet potatoes.

Although the wheat was confiscated, the sisters asked for help anyway. They can learn if they haven't done it. They will use a sickle. When they were at home, they were already very skilled in mowing grass for pigs, cutting sorghum and cutting buds in the field.

No matter what other aspects of the sisters, they are really good at work, and they are not cheating and cheating.

After getting along for a while, although the sisters were still a little restrained, they seemed to find that Xia Zhi didn't like their obvious flattery, so the sisters restrained a lot. And although the summer solstice is still indifferent to them, it is already much better than when they first came.

Of course, this is the subjective perception of the sisters.

Such a vast group of people, although there is only one adult laborer, Sun Lao Wu, and the second adult laborer is Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er. Along the way, I met many people who also went down to the field to harvest wheat. Seeing the pomp of Xia Zhi's house, everyone laughed kindly.

When they arrived in the field on the summer solstice, they saw that there were already several people standing on the ground.

Old Man Xia, Third Uncle Xia and the others arrived earlier than them, and they were discussing how to harvest this wheat.

Xia Solstice walked over with everyone.

"I saw you packing up and coming just now, so I didn't greet you. Old Man Xia explained to Xia Zhi, and then said hello to Sun Lao Wu, "Old Five, this is a lot of work for you." ”

Although it is a short-term worker hired for money, there is still the necessary respect for the villagers. This is the humility and thoughtfulness of Old Man Xia's life.

Sun Lao Wu called uncle, and then smiled innocently.

Layue and Xiao Xialin also came down to the ground. Xiao Xia Lin is coming to play by herself, but Layue is holding a sickle in her hand, and like Xia Zhi, she also has to go to the ground to cut wheat.

When the two children saw the summer solstice, they all came over.

There were two and a half big boys smiling at Xia Zhi, who were two cousins of Layue, about the same age as Xia Qiao, and this time they followed their father and mother over to help their aunt's family harvest wheat.

Aunt Xia's maiden family, a total of seven people came this time. Aunt Xia's father, Mr. Chen, personally led the team and brought his two sons and two daughters-in-law who were in the prime of life, and the eldest two grandsons also followed.

This lineup, that's quite "luxurious". Speaking of which, Aunt Xia's maiden home is also in the mountains, but the conditions in the mountains over there are better than those in the mountains.

Although Aunt Xia San's family has little land, there are many fruit trees, and the family can sell a lot of money by selling mountain goods every year, and her life is quite good.

Today, seeing the momentum of her mother's family coming to help collect wheat, the Chen family is still very distressed about their daughter.

Old Man Chen's family arrived yesterday evening, and they naturally met them on the summer solstice. The result of the big guy's discussion was to harvest the ten acres of wheat from Old Man Xia first.

This was mainly proposed by the old man of the Chen family, of course Uncle Xia San did not object, and Xia Zhi had no opinion on this side. Old Man Xia didn't shirk either, this kind of thing is not interesting, but it seems hypocritical.

Together, there were nearly twenty people, and although half of them were children, they were all spread out in the ground, and each person had a sickle, and the situation was quite spectacular.

Before dawn, everyone took advantage of the faint light of the day to wave their sickles and began to harvest the wheat.

Xia Zhi is next to his brother Xia Qiao, this is arranged by Xia Qiao, which means to take care of and take his sister. Once Xia Solstice is a little behind, Xia Qiao's scythe will come out of bounds and help Xia Zhi cut a part, and when Xia Solstice catches up, Xia Qiao will go back to cut his own.

The eldest girl and the second girl are two, but they both follow Sun Lan'er. Sun Lan'er taught them how to cut wheat, and the two sisters learned quickly. The second girl is slightly worse, but the eldest girl is already about to catch up with Sun Lan'er.

Sun Lao Wu was silent but grabbed the lead, and even Uncle Xia San and his two brothers-in-law fell behind Sun Lao Wu. And Sun Lao Wu works very cleanly, and there is no wheat that has been leaked out of the wheat he has cut.

Old Man Xia is also a person who hates work, but after all, he is old and can't compare with young people. Moreover, he also has to take care of his old brother Old Man Chen.

If he is ahead of the curve, Old Man Chen will definitely not fall behind. The old in-laws have brought all the strong labor of the family from afar. The friendship is heavy. Old man Xia can't let the old brother get tired.

No, he was stopping, standing with Old Man Chen smoking a dry cigarette and taking a breath.

"Lao Wu is really capable, in our entire village, he can count them. Old Man Xia looked at Sun Lao Wu's back and praised Old Man Chen.

"It's a good crop. Old Man Chen nodded, of course he is also knowledgeable. "It's a pity that a good man doesn't have a good wife. ”
