Chapter 205: Rain
Girls of the same age inevitably have some comparisons with each other. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, the eldest girl and Sun Lan'er are a little subtle.
Xia Zhi didn't bother to think about it much at this time, she told Old Man Xia about the steamed buns she planned to steam tomorrow morning, and she had already set the water tofu again. Old Man Xia naturally said yes.
Now that he is in the wheat field, Xia Solstice wants to help cut the wheat. But Old Man Xia didn't let it.
Old Man Xia has already figured it out, and letting Xia Solstice cut wheat in the field is a waste of Xia Solstice's talent. Didn't I see that the big guy was in a hurry, Xia Zhi put down the sickle and walked everywhere and solved it completely.
Don't let Xia Solstice cut wheat, Xia Solstice can go home to help Mrs. Xia plan and prepare meals. In addition, Xia Zhi can also do a lot of things that he can't think of for a while.
Therefore, make the best use of things and make the best use of talents. Old Man Xia began to raise the summer solstice before, and now he looks at the summer solstice a little heavier than before. Therefore, Old Man Xia said that he would not let Xia Zhi cut wheat in the field.
"If you can go back, you can rest, or you can help your grandmother take care of things at home." There are other things that I can't think of for a while, sixteen, and you bother. If you don't have time to discuss anything with me, it's nothing, you see that you can do what you can do, and you can do it. ”
Old Man Xia smiled and instructed Xia Zhi for a while, and then told her: "If you want to use money or something, just ask your grandmother." If you want to employ people, these people are at your disposal. ”
Xia Zhi responded with a smile, knowing that Old Man Xia had given her the power to coordinate and dispatch. However, she still said that if she thought of something, she would come to Old Man Xia to discuss.
Then, Xia Zhi went to the ground again, and said a few words to Xia Qiao, Sun Lan'er, as well as the eldest girl and the second girl, and when he went home, he also took Layue away.
When she got home, Mrs. Xia had already set up the panel on the kang and was taking the noodles out of the big basin. This is going to make steamed buns.
"Prepare in advance. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi, "The big guy has been working for a day and a night, and it's not okay to have no food in his stomach." ”
"I told my mother to go. "The summer solstice said.
"Don't call her. This is done, I'll just do it slowly. After a while, let Layue help me light the fire. Mrs. Xia said with a smile.
Xia Zhi still decided to call Tian.
At this time, no idlers are allowed in the family, so why should the Tian family be an exception. No need for others to say anything, Xia Solstice didn't agree in the first place. She didn't allow Tian to live so heartlessly.
Xia Zhi was a good talker, and this time he didn't bring Xiao Heiyuer and Daqing, so he went to the front yard alone.
The back door of the front yard is used to it, and Xia Zhi didn't open the door immediately when he walked to the door, but stood there and listened intently for a while. Then I heard voices talking in the house.
She was familiar with the voices she spoke, one was naturally Tian's, and the other was Sun Wang's.
Sun Wang's family didn't sleep so late, what was he talking to Tian.
Xia Zhi listened for a while, and then heard Tian complaining to Sun Wang, saying that he couldn't straighten his waist after cooking for a day.
"People don't call me. But the work is in front of my eyes, can I not do it? She is a treacherous heart, and she doesn't call me outside, and it turns out that I didn't do any work~ This is Tian's voice, complaining about Mrs. Xia.
"She's big~ milk, this person looks kind, it turns out to be such a person!" This was Sun Wang's voice, revealing a sense of surprise, but it clearly meant to encourage Tian to continue.
"She's such a person, quiet, and has a lot of eyes. Otherwise, if you look at my little brother-in-law's eyes, who can he look like!"
"It's really a mother giving birth to nine sons. You see the third child in your backyard, you can't kick a fart with three feet, it's about the same as the fifth child in our family. The youngest one is a short-tempered person, and he can fight with you if he doesn't say a word, and he doesn't care how old the person is. It's still a mother's belly crawling out of ......."
“…… It's just a villain, and he was born to deal with me......"
Tian finished complaining about Mrs. Xia and Little Black Fish, and then talked about Old Man Xia.
"I hate work, I can't wait for our big guy to work for him if he doesn't sleep or eat during the day. Because why did our second head of the family want to split up with him back then, and I don't want to live with them. ”
"Our fifth child and Lanzi are still in the field!" Sun Wang sighed.
“…… I never knew that I was distressed, and I couldn't wait to use you as a big animal......" Tian Shi became more and more energetic the more he said.
Xia Zhi couldn't listen to it anymore, she deliberately made a noise, opened the back door and entered the house.
The conversation in the room stopped abruptly.
When Xia Zhi walked into the East House, he saw Tian and Sun Wang sitting opposite each other on the kang. Tian saw that the summer solstice was coming, and he didn't say anything. Sun Wang hurriedly owed a debt, and smiled at Xia Zhi.
"The summer solstice is back? Hey, these days, it's tired of our summer solstice. Let's get on the kang and rest. Sun Wang also got up and asked Xia Zhizhi to sit on the kang.
"Fifth aunt, sit down, I still have something to do, I can't stay here idle, the big guy works in the field, cooks at home, how can I bear to be idle." Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Sun Wang's hearing this was not very good, because she was used to being idle. Tian's face changed color slightly, because he could tell that Xia Zhi's words were for her.
"By the way, Fifth Aunt, I have to discuss one more thing with you. Xia Zhiyou said to Sun Wang.
"What's the matter? What else do you say to the fifth aunt to discuss or not, what do you say on the summer solstice, can the fifth aunt not nod. Sun Wang's little eyes were shining.
"Isn't this afraid of the rain and rushing to the house to harvest wheat? The big guy was going to do this night, and my father asked my fifth uncle and Sister Lanzi, afraid that they would be tired, so he persuaded them to come back and rest. My fifth uncle and Sister Lan Zi said that they didn't agree to anything. No matter how much this night is cut, it will be calculated according to two days' wages. Did my fifth uncle forget to tell your fifth aunt about this?"
"Ah...... Ah......h
Sun Lao Wu naturally didn't forget to tell her about this. She knew very well that Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er could get two days' wages by cutting wheat for one night. Even if Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er didn't want to do it themselves, she had to force them to do it.
Now Sun Wang is wondering if Xia Zhi was really polite to her when he said what he said just now, or whether he heard the complaints she said with Tian just now.
If it's the latter, hey, then she's not offended by the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi, this little girl, don't look at her young age, she is really not someone who can be offended.
Thinking of this, Sun Wang immediately stood on the ground, and the smile on his face became more and more flattering. "Your fifth uncle didn't tell me about it. Or I told him, seeing that it would rain at some point, so he should not rest at night and go down to the field to help cut some wheat. If the salary is not paid, the distant relatives are not as good as the close neighbors, and he should work for a few days for nothing! I don't know about the two-day salary, so I can't ask for it, so what's the embarrassment......
"It's decided, and it must be given. Xia Zhi smiled slightly, "Fifth aunt, you came here in the middle of the night, you just didn't know about it, and you were worried about my fifth uncle and Sister Lanzi." Otherwise, I will go to the ground, call them back, and accompany the fifth aunt. ”
The summer solstice is about to go outside.
If you cut wheat for one night, you will be paid for two days. This is a good thing that can't be found in a hurry, how can Sun Wang's family watch the money in his hand fly away from his hands.
She hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xia Zhi, because when she saw Xia Zhi's eyes, she didn't dare to grab Xia Zhi with her own hands.
"What are you asking them to do, I'm coming, just to accompany you~ Mother to talk. Who do I use to accompany me, knowing that they will work for you, then I will be relieved. Sun Wang accompanied the smiling face, and hurriedly let Xia Zhizhi sit on the kang, and deliberately swept the dust that did not exist on the kang with his sleeve.
Tian watched Sun Wang's face change, and she was so stammered with Xia Zhi, her heart was a little blocked, and she sat on the side and didn't speak for a long time.
"I can't sit with my fifth aunt, there is still work to be done in the backyard. Xia Zhi spoke, glancing at Tian as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Sun Wang is the most observant woman. She immediately understood what Xia Zhi meant, probably to find Tian to work in the backyard. Where did Sun Wang's family dare to sit in this room anymore, wouldn't that delay Tian's work in the backyard?
"I've been here for a long time, and I need to go back and see the two children. Sun Wang walked away with a stomach.
"You are worthy of your old Xia family, you see that you scared your fifth aunt Sun!" When Sun Wang's family left, Tian said to Xia Zhi.
"Mother, I don't understand what you're saying. Xia Zhi smiled, "Mother, my milk has started steaming steamed buns, let's go over and help." ”
Tian sat on the kang with a cold face and did not move.
Xia Zhi didn't urge her, just looked at her with a smile.
In the end, Tian couldn't sit still. She got off the kang and followed Xia Solstice to the backyard, and complained about Xia Solstice along the way: "Why did I give birth to you who doesn't know inside and out, and your elbows always turn out." ”
"Mother, in your place, only my grandmother's family is inside, and we are all outside. If you really want to talk about elbows outward or something, I'll follow you too. Xia Zhi spoke with a smile on her face, and her attitude was really good, although the content of what she said did not match her attitude.
Tian was angry by Xia Zhi, and it was not easy to attack.
When he arrived in the backyard, although Tian's face was still gloomy, he didn't need to be urged, so he helped Mrs. Xia start kneading the dough and making steamed buns, and then was arranged by Xia Zhi to burn the fire and steam the steamed buns.
Here the steamed buns are steamed out of two large pots, and the soup and side dishes are also prepared on the summer solstice. Uncle Xia and the eldest brother of the Chen family drove back. This is the summer solstice and they discussed, seeing that the hour is about the same, they rushed over to get supper.
The steamed Bai Shengsheng Xuan Teng, the steaming white flour steamed buns, plus the meat sauce side dishes and vermicelli soup, Uncle Xia and the eldest brother of the Chen family all said it was good.
Xia Zhi followed and ran into the field again, and saw with his own eyes that all the wheat of Uncle Xia San's house was harvested and sent to the yard. Second Uncle Xia's wheat is less than one-third left.
Needless to say, Old Man Xia's happiness was needless to say, when Xia Zhi came back and told Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia was also very happy.
In the second half of the night, the weather became more and more gloomy. Xia Zhi went to the courtyard again, and saw that only the second brother of the Chen family was awake, and Xiao Shu'er leaned on the arms of the second brother of the Chen family and didn't know when he had squinted.
Hearing Daqing's cry, Xiao Shu'er woke up suddenly. Then when she saw the summer solstice, Xiao Shu'er smiled embarrassedly.
Xia Zhi touched the little tree's head. For a nine-year-old child, Xiao Shu'er's performance in the past few days has been pretty good.
"When the wheat is harvested, there will be a reward!" Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Xiao Shu'er immediately became energetic, he circled around the summer solstice, and said that he wanted to eat Li Ji's roast chicken in Linshui Town. Xia Zhi was helpless: "Why do you have a heart-eating eye!"
Walking back from the courtyard, Xia Zhi felt something strange on the top of her head, she stretched out her hand, and her palm immediately felt a little wet~ wet.
It's raining.
It didn't rain much at first, just a steady stream of rain. As soon as the summer solstice was busy, he went to the wheat field. The wheat harvesters also noticed that it was raining, and no one left to take shelter from the rain, but they accelerated the speed of the wheat harvest.
The rain grew heavier and denser, and finally some of the torches were extinguished by the rain.
However, before the heavy rain came, everyone worked together to finally harvest the last piece of wheat.
The rain did not stop until the end of the next day.
As soon as the day cleared, people went out of their homes, some rejoicing and some sad.
Because of this rain, many people's wheat was still poured into the ground. Now that the rain had just cleared, the families hurried to the wheat fields, intending to recoup as much of their losses as possible. But the results were not ideal.
It rained so hard and it had been raining for so long, and the wheat that had not been cut in the field could only rot in the ground.
Without contrast, there is no harm.
Old Man Xia is very happy, if there are not so many people to help, the ten acres of wheat in Second Uncle Xia's house can be cut back to be 12/12.
The current situation is that a large family of 40 acres of wheat has been harvested. When the water vapor is clear, you can start grinding the wheat, raising the field, and bringing the wheat back home.
This situation of the Xia family also made the big guy very envious. Not only is Xia Xiucai not at home this year, but also Uncle Xia's family. Originally, after this rain, everyone guessed that the Xia family's wheat must be big~ and rotted in the ground.
Old Man Xia walked back to the house, and discussed with Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi, saying that the weather was fine, and two tables of banquets had to be set up at night to entertain guests.
On the one hand, the old man of the Chen family and his family plan to go back tomorrow. The strong labor of the whole family has come out to help cut the wheat, and the work in the future is not so urgent. There is still a big mess of things in people's homes, and they can't be delayed.
Again, it is Tian Fugui.
Those short-term workers who came to help, or gave wheat or money, and when they came back from the rain, the Xia family provided another meal, and that's it. But Tian Fugui is purely here to help, thanks to others.
Xia Zhi discussed a menu with Mrs. Xia, and then asked the eldest brother of the Chen family to catch the car, and Xia Zhi took the little black fish and Uncle Xia to Linshui Town to buy fish, meat, and cooked food.
