Chapter 202: Fairness and Humility
Strive for a more, and ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month

Although Xia Zhi doesn't know how to recognize the weather, looking at the overcast appearance of the sky, and then feeling the humidity of the air~ moisture, she also knows that this rain may fall at any time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even if everyone works hard and cuts the wheat faster, these 20 acres of wheat cannot be cut in a day and a half. If Second Uncle Xia's house is cut first, then the wheat of Third Uncle Xia's house is likely to rot in the ground.
Even if Aunt Xia San's family didn't come to help, it wasn't the case.
"Master, you have to cut the wheat of my third uncle's house first, and then cut my second uncle's house." Xia Zhi spoke very solemnly to Old Man Xia, "My second uncle doesn't rely on these wheat, he doesn't take these wheates seriously at all." But my third uncle's family has to live on this wheat. Master, just by virtue of this, we have to cut the wheat of my third uncle's house first. ā
At this time, the little black fish also followed. He was very supportive of the idea of the summer solstice.
Uncle Xia took a step back and stopped talking. He was forced by Old Man Xia just now, and he was used to listening to Old Man Xia's words, so he offered to cut the wheat of the second brother's house first. But in his heart, he is also willing to harvest his wheat first.
If it doesn't rain, it doesn't matter who receives it first. But now that it is going to rain, the wheat can be snatched down a little bit. How could he bear to watch the fruits of his family's hard work for a year rot in the ground.
Compared with his second brother's family, their family has worked more hard in this wheat field. He was as conscientious as Old Man Xia in tending to the wheat field, and refused to let a single grass thorn be in the field. Just as the summer solstice said, their hope for a year is on these ten acres of wheat.
But he didn't dare to refute Daddy's claim. Now, it can only be seen who said who said who dad and niece.
The old man of the Chen family was not far away, but no one stepped forward. Aunt Xia San walked over slowly with Layue and Xiao Xia Lin, standing with Uncle Xia San, but she didn't speak.
Xiao Xia Lin didn't quite understand what was going on, but Layue did. Although she didn't dare to speak, her face was flushed, and her eyes were wide open looking at Old Man Xia and Xia Zhi.
Old Man Xia coughed dryly twice, and he looked at Xia Zhi helplessly.
"Master, you have to be reasonable, don't you?" Xia Zhi did not retreat, finished Fang Cai's words, and she looked at Old Man Xia with a smile.
Old Man Xia couldn't be angry with Xia Zhi at all, he could only reason with Xia Zhi.
"Your second uncle did something wrong, but he's not here. It's nothing for me to be a father, and your father is not here, but the third uncle is here, so you have to be humble. Old Man Xia patiently explained to Xia Zhi.
His idea is still very good. The big guy first cut the wheat for Second Uncle Xia, and if it doesn't rain at that time, he will continue to cut the wheat of Third Uncle Xia's house, which is a happy ending.
If it really rains, Uncle Xia San's harvest will be lost. He, as a father, naturally can't stand by and watch when the time comes, he must be subsidizing Uncle Xia.
Besides, Second Uncle Xia will always come back. When he came back, he heard that although he was not at home, his brother had rotted all his wheat in the ground in order to cut it for him.
Can Second Uncle Xia not be moved? Can you not express something?
Naturally, the brothers became closer and more harmonious.
Old Man Xia also said euphemistically that even if Second Uncle Xia's reaction was a little sluggish at that time, he, as a father, would also mention Second Uncle Xia, in short, it would be a good result for the family to be harmonious at that time.
They all finished cutting the wheat of Uncle Xia's house before the big guy, and then saw that the wheat of Second Uncle Xia's house was rotten in the ground.
Old Man Xia is really good to Xia Zhi, and even such a subtle question is willing to break up with her and explain it in pieces. Although Xia Zhi cannot be the heir of the Xia family, Old Man Xia is also very optimistic about her.
In the future, Xia Zhi will always be a daughter-in-law for other people's families, Xia Zhi's intelligence and ability, when the time comes, it will be a daughter-in-law in charge of the family, that is for sure. Old Man Xia taught her these truths, which she could use when she was in charge of the house after the summer solstice.
Old Man Xia has high hopes for the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi naturally understood Old Man Xia's intentions, and she was grateful to Old Man Xia in her heart. At the same time, Old Man Xia's statement is also reasonable to a certain extent.
Especially in times like these, once this kind of thing is rumored, it is a beautiful talk.
But none of this made the summer solstice change its mind.
"Master, what you said is very good. But it also depends on the person and the situation. Xia Zhi reasoned with Old Man Xia, "Let's send two letters to my second uncle." Even if my second uncle has something to do and people can't come back, can't he send someone back with a letter? He didn't even bring back a letter, what does this mean? ā
Old Man Xia was also on fire in his heart for this matter, and when he heard this, he didn't say anything.
Xia Zhi answered this question himself.
"You always carry a letter, my second uncle shouldn't, this is unfilial. If he does not come back when he wants to harvest the wheat, or does not bring back the letter, it means that he has not put the wheat in his eyes. ā
"Besides, is it usually my third uncle who puts more work in this field, or my second uncle who puts more work in this field?"
This sentence, Old Man Xia can't help but answer. "Your second uncle loves to be lazy, and your third uncle is really good at serving the crops." Old Man Xia also has to admit that the third son and the third daughter-in-law are authentic crop handles, and they are willing to work hard to serve the crops, not as foolish as Second Uncle Xia.
"Master, isn't it clear which family's wheat should be cut first?" Xia Zhi said, "You can't always pay attention to those humility, harmony or something, you also have to pay attention to rewards and punishments." We can't let honest people suffer and be angry, right! ā
Old Man Xia had nothing to say.
The summer solstice is still striking while the iron is hot. "Master, you are the most reasonable, why don't we let the big guy vote on it, and see the opinion of the big guy, which piece of wheat should be cut first."
Do you still need to vote on this kind of thing? There is no need for the old man of the Chen family to participate, and even Uncle Xia's family does not need to express their position, none of them want to cross Uncle Xia to cut wheat for Second Uncle Xia.
"What's the vote on?" Old Man Xia waved his hand helplessly, "Come on, let's cut your third uncle's house first." Your second uncle's family also let him learn a lesson, so that he doesn't take this wheat field seriously. If he dares to do this in the future, I will take back all this land and not spoil him! ā
Half of this is a momentary outrage, just listen to it.
"Master, that's right." Summer Solstice clapped his hands happily.
The smiles on the faces of Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia over there couldn't be hidden, and Layue ran over happily and leaned happily on Xia Zhi's side. She didn't say anything, just called her sister vigorously.
"Let's get to work." Summer Solstice laughs.
"Hey!" Layue agreed, and ran away like a happy deer to cut the wheat.
Old Man Xia refused to delay his work, and after making this decision, he immediately took a sickle and went down to the field to cut wheat. The old man of the Chen family walked over with a smile and cut wheat with the old man Xia.
"Brother, sixteen is a good girl!" The old man of the Chen family praised the summer solstice, saying that the summer solstice was capable, had a cool temperament, and dared to speak.
Old Man Xia smiled and explained to the old man of the Chen family: "No matter what, I can't let San'er suffer, it's just that there are too many children here, and I want to make their brothers live in harmony." ā
"Brother, I understand your hard work." The old man of the Chen family smiled, and did not show his disagreement with the old man Xia.
The rest of the Chen family is grateful to the summer solstice and likes the summer solstice, and expresses this feeling unabashedly. The eldest uncle and second uncle of the Chen family, the eldest aunt and the second aunt all walked to Xia Zhi's side one after another, said a few words to Xia Zhi loudly, and then quickly helped Xia Zhi cut a big ~ piece of wheat.
The eldest brother and the second brother of the Chen family also came over, they didn't say anything, and they also helped Xia Zhi cut a large ~ piece of wheat.
As a result, the wheat on the summer solstice was the fastest to cut, surpassing Sun Lao Wu, the leader.
The little black fish followed behind Xia Solstice and laughed. He didn't dare to talk to Old Man Xia like that, but Xia Zhi did, and he also made Old Man Xia change his mind.
The summer solstice is really ...... It's his niece.
The little black fish was triumphant, as if the person who persuaded Old Man Xia to change his mind was himself.
By noon, the sky was getting gloomy, but it was not raining. The big guy looked at the cut wheat and was very happy in his heart, as if it was a harvest snatched from God.
Xia Zhi didn't need anyone to urge him today, so he took Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Xia Lin home early to help cook. After lunch, Xia Solstice didn't go back to the wheat field to cut wheat, but took the little black fish and didn't know where to go.
Old Man Xia didn't even look up a few times to look for Xia Zhi, and he didn't see Xia Zhi, so he was a little puzzled in his heart. When the harvest is being rushed, one more ear of wheat is one more harvest, although the child is young, but he is very sensible, he has persevered a few days ago, why is this gone.
It shouldn't be!
However, Old Man Xia didn't have the heart to think about it anymore. Seeing that the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and that the rain could fall at any time, he had to work harder to cut the wheat.
After cutting the journey like this, Old Man Xia heard the voices of many people on the ground. He hurriedly straightened up and looked over the ground, and sure enough, he saw a dozen or so people standing on the ground.
Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish were standing in front of the crowd, and Xia Solstice was tilting his head to talk to a person who seemed to be the leader.
Old Man Xia blinked, at this time, he had already recognized that the person who was talking to Xia Zhi was Tian Fugui. Old Man Xia wondered in his heart, not knowing what was going on.
The old man of the Chen family also stopped the sickle and came over to stand with the old man Xia.
"Dude, what's going on. These people were all found by Sixteen? The old man of the Chen family asked. They all saw it. They all had scythes in their hands.
At such times, a group of strong laborers stood on their ground with scythes in their hands, what could they do?
Xia Zhi seemed to have finished talking to Tian Fugui, turned his head and saw Old Man Xia, so he called out to him.
Old Man Xia had a faint expectation in his heart, so he hurriedly walked towards the ground. When Tian Fugui saw Old Man Xia, he also respectfully called uncle.
"Uncle, the family is not enough to harvest wheat, why don't you tell me." Tian Fugui said to Old Man Xia, "If this is not sixteen, I don't know yet?" ā
"Ah......" Old Man Xia frowned secretly in his heart, although their relationship with the Tian family was good now, he was still unwilling to let Xia Zhi beg for help. At a time like this, who doesn't harvest wheat? Thinking like this, of course Old Man Xia would not say Xia Solstice in front of Tian Fugui, he just turned his puzzled gaze to Xia Solstice, hoping that Xia Solstice could explain what was going on.
"That's what happened." Xia Zhi smiled and told Old Man Xia the ins and outs of the matter.
After lunch, she saw that the big guy refused to even take a break, so she continued to be busy cutting wheat. Old man Xia is so old, but he refuses to even cut his waist straight, and he cuts forward violently, and other people, especially the younger ones, also refuse to stop cutting wheat, desperately trying to cut more wheat.
Xia Zhi was very distressed when she looked at it, and she also understood that no matter how hard the big guy tried, she was afraid that it would be impossible to harvest all the wheat before it rained.
Second Uncle Xia may not care about the wheat in his own field, but when the time comes, Old Man Xia doesn't know how to feel distressed.
Moreover, Xia Solstice can't watch the wheat trampled in the ground so badly, no matter whose family it is.
She wanted to find someone to help with the wheat. She knew that it would be difficult to find a short-term job at this time, but she still planned to give it a try. Therefore, she did not cut wheat in the field at night, but took the little black fish to look for people everywhere.
As a result, Tian Fugui was encountered.
Tian Fugui's family has a lot of land, and he has a wide head, in addition to hired workers, there are many people who volunteer to help him, and there is naturally no shortage of his own family.
When Tian Fugui met Tian Fugui on the summer solstice, Tian Fugui had already led people to harvest almost all of his wheat. Xia Zhi proposed to Tian Fugui and asked him to give him a few short-term jobs.
As soon as Tian Fugui heard that Xia Zhi's family was short of people to harvest wheat, he didn't say a word, only arranged a few people to finish it, and he brought people to follow Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer.
After listening to Xia Zhi's narration, Old Man Xia immediately smiled. The Xia family can't do things at the expense of others and benefit themselves. On the premise of not harming the interests of Tian Fugui's family, Xia Zhi also helped his family find helpers.
This thing is well done.
"The little girl has a lively heart." The old man of the Chen family also came over, and said with a smile to the old man Xia.
Old Man Xia smiled and nodded. At this point, Xia Zhi is stronger than him.
After discussing with Old Man Xia, Tian Fugui took people to scatter them into the ground. First, he spread out the people and helped collect the wheat from Uncle Xia San's house, and then transferred a big cart to send the cut wheat to the yard as quickly as possible.
When it was dark, the big guy had already begun to harvest the wheat from Second Uncle Xia's house.
"It's still a lot of work." Old Man Xia was in a very comfortable mood.
