Chapter 131: Working Together

Yuxiu said that she was not allowed, and said a bunch of new rules: you are not allowed to go to Yan Qinghong's side, and when you see Yan Qinghong, Yan Jincheng, and the Chen family, you have to stay away, and you are not allowed to say that they are not good in front of others......

"Eldest sister, I'm going to take a bath!" Yuliang was nagged with a headache, and wanted to find an excuse to slip away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"No, don't go to the river alone!"

"Eldest sister, then I'll go and play with Tiedan!"

"No, don't go out at night in the future!"

"Shall I pee then?" said Yuliang and wanted to run to the back of the house.

"Come back, don't run over there alone, it's dark over there!"

"Eldest sister, then I'll go read a book, it's okay, right?" Yuliang surrendered, and planned to go back to the room with a depressed face.

"Come back!" Yuxiu screamed again, seeing Yuliang's crying face, she stood down and looked at herself, "Come over and have some supper! ”

As soon as Yuliang heard that there were roasted sweet potatoes to eat, he cheered and came over again.

Yuxiu used tongs to pick out a few sweet potatoes from the small tandoor, Yuliang picked up the corner of the clothes, reached out and grabbed one, and the left and right hands kept throwing them around, but he was still reluctant to put them back on the ground.

"Brother, you come to eat too. Yuxiu greeted Yudong again.

Yudong was burying his head in chopping firewood on the side, and he agreed, but picked up a piece of log and put it on the woody pier, and chopped it with an axe.

He was going to school during the day now, so he wanted to do more work in the morning and evening.

Yuxiu took two more pieces of skinned skin and handed them to Yan Qingjiang and Yushu.

Yushu just had a knock on her head, and after lying down for a day, she said that her head didn't hurt anymore and she had to get out of bed. Yuxiu had no choice but to help her wrap the gauze and let her help feed the five chicks.

The burns on Yan Qingjiang's two hands are fine, but the fingers that have turned off their nails still have to be raised. However, his legs were able to move, so he took over Yuliang's favorite job - feeding the little cattle.

"By the way, eldest sister, today Master Hong said that in the future, we are not allowed to take a car to the town, we have to walk. He gave his brother two sandbags and told him to walk to the town every day with them. Yuliang thought of what Hong Tianxi said today after hearing that they were going back and forth in an ox cart.

In fact, Hong Tianxi only said that Yudong was not allowed to take the car, and he had to walk to practice his leg strength, but he didn't say anything to him. But he pestered Yudong and said okay, in the future, the two of them will walk together, and the penny every day will be saved first.

When Yuxiu heard him say this, she looked at Yudong.

Yudong nodded, "The master said, tie sandbags and walk, and the bottom plate is stable." ”

Yuxiu didn't understand the matter of practicing martial arts, Hong Tianxi said this, so he naturally had to do it, "Then I'll make some cakes tomorrow, and you can take them to eat on the road." ”

Yudong and Yuliang are now practicing martial arts at Hong Tianxi's house every morning and attending classes in the afternoon at the school.

"Xiuxiu, I asked them all about the next two days, and they all said that the weather would be good in the next two days. I told Mr. Li and my master that I would take two days off and harvest the rice at home. "Yudong has already calculated, at the end of August, when the rice is ripe, he will stay at home to harvest rice and sweet potatoes.

Experienced old farmers, looking at the moon halo and stars at night, can judge the weather for the next few days. This is also the wisdom of peasant life.

Yuxiu nodded and agreed, the rice in the rice field was ripe, the rice ears bent over, and while the weather was good, he had to prepare for the autumn harvest quickly.

Harvesting rice in autumn is a laborious task.

Cutting rice, threshing rice, drying grain, and fanning grain are all connected things.

Among them, the most labor-intensive is rice threshing.

After the rice is cut, you have to threshing it quickly and take it home, in case it rains in the rice field, the rice will rot.

Rice buckets should be used for rice threshing.

The rice bucket is used for threshing rice, it is said to be a barrel, but it is actually a square shape, with a large mouth at the top and a small mouth at the bottom, like a square funnel with a seal, made of thick wooden boards, and the weight is very heavy.

When threshing rice, the rice bucket is surrounded by bamboo canopies on three sides, and the rice is thrown vigorously on the barrel bed in the rice bucket, and the ripe millet comes out of the ear and falls into the bucket.

The work of threshing rice sounds simple, it is a matter of throwing and knocking, but it depends on the strength of the arm, and if the force is small, the grain will not fall.

On the day of preparing to cut rice, Yuxiu and Yudong set up a small ox cart early in the morning, carried the rice bucket and put it on the car, planning to dry it early in the morning, and it was best to cut two acres of land in one day, and then slowly dry the millet at home.

Aunt Hong originally told them not to worry, saying that they could help, but Yuxiu knew that everyone was busy at this time of the autumn harvest, so she politely refused.

When they went out, Yan Qingjiang, Yushu and Yuliang all came together.

"Rice hunting, I will!" Yan Qingjiang shook his hand, he must follow.

"Uncle, your hands hurt. Yudong pointed to Yan Qingjiang's finger where the nails were gone.

"One hand, more than you!" Yan Qingjiang shook his other hand, indicating that even if he only used this hand, he would beat rice more than Yudong.

The autumn harvest is a matter of harvesting, and the sooner the weather is good, the better.

In the end, the five of them went out together. Yuxiu took the cloth to wrap strips of cloth around Yan Qingjiang's hands first, so as not to be scratched by the rice leaves again, and also brought a high-legged bench, Yan Qingjiang's legs couldn't stand, so he sat on it.

The cart at home is small, and there is not much place to put the rice bucket, Yuxiu asked Yushu and Yuliang to sit on one side with a barstool, Yan Qingjiang to sit on the other side, Yudong pulled the ox to walk in front, and Yuxiu followed behind.

When the five of them arrived at the edge of the field, Yudong and Yuxiu went down to the field to cut the rice first, and when they finished cutting a stubble, they vacated a space, carried the rice bucket there, and then they could start beating the rice.

Yuxiu, Yushu and Yuliang continued to cut rice, and Yudong and Yan Qingjiang took turns to harvest rice.

The five of them were busy all morning, the sun rose and began to heat up, and Yuxiu asked Yushu and Yuliang to go home to prepare lunch.

Yushu and Yuliang knew that she was afraid that the two of them would get the sun and refused to go back, so in the end, the five of them went home together and hurried back to continue working.

They didn't call it a day until it was dark. The millet that Yudong and Yan Qingjiang beat was packed in cloth bags, there were three bags in total, and one bag was half a bag. If a cloth bag contains 100 catties, the millet in their acre of land is about less than 400 catties.

According to the fields on this side of Dongshan, this harvest is not bad.

Yuxiu looked at the five people in her family, either small or injured, these hundreds of catties of millet are really not enough to eat.

No agriculture is unstable, no work is not rich, and no business is not alive. At present, these two acres of land, the five of them can't live on farming, they still have to earn some living money.

There is still an acre of land that has not been cut, and the rice bucket is thrown into the field first, and everyone in the village does this, and no one will steal it.

Just like when I came, it was still the little ox pulling the cart and pulling the beaten grain home today.

Yuliang saw the little scalper's hard work and felt distressed, so he kept telling the little scalper that he would cut the best grass for it to eat when he finished his work.

After a day and a half of work, they worked together and finally took the rice back home, Yudong and Yuliang did not rest for a day, and went to school in the town with their school baggage. Yuxiu thought about the money and went to the town as well.
