On the second day, Yuhua went to the ground again, and Qiaozhen began to teach Chengzi to memorize the three-character scripture while working in the courtyard, and Shengzi was also reciting it at the same time.
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, Xi is far away, no teaching, sex is migration, the way of teaching, you are specialized." Today, Qiaozhen taught so much, so that Chengzi and Shengzi memorized it repeatedly.
Chengzi is still very smart, and after a while, he memorized it word for word, and after a while, he didn't forget it and memorized it.
Qiao Zhen nodded, this kid is not stupid. Shengzi is young and slower, but when it gets dark, he also memorizes the previous sentence.
In this way, in the days of the autumn harvest, Qiaozhen has been teaching the two children while working, and she has not let the two show off in front of others. Just silently taught.
Chengzi will also go to the field when he has time, and every time he comes back, he has grasshoppers in his hands, skewered with grass, there are two times, three or five times when he comes back, and he comes back and asks Qiaozhen to roast and eat for him.
Qiaozhen is not afraid, she often eats these when she is a child, and she also loves to catch grasshoppers to eat, so she will cook them and let Chengzi and Shengzi eat them separately.
After a few days, the crops are all harvested, and there are sweet potatoes left in the field.
Corn, sprouts, beans, and sesame seeds were all piled up in the yard.
Wang Changshun and a few people in Dazhong cleaned up the sesame seeds, held a bundle in one hand, and then the sesame seeds were headed down, and began to hit and beat hard.
The sesame seeds have dried up, and with the impact, the sesame seeds begin to fall off, of course, this way down is not clean, there are a lot of sesame leaves and dirt.
When they finish the sesame seeds and put the sesame stalks aside, a meticulous woman needs to check them to see if there are any that have not been cleaned, and when they are all cleaned, the sesame stalks are piled up and kept for the pot.
The woman began to knead the sesame seeds, and then took the dustpan and poplars to clean, dried them and put them in bags, which were not eaten, but were to be sold at the meeting or in the town. Sesame oil is a precious thing, it is eaten by rich and noble people, and they still count on sesame seeds to exchange for some money.
The beans are beaten with a mallet for laundry, and the beans are beaten out, the beans are not sold, and they are used for bean dregs, and the dishes for a year are basically out.
Corn is peeled and braided and hung on the wall, or it can be stripped and dried before the corn seeds are peeled.
The fallen birth is taken out, whether it is full or blind, it must be picked into a basket, and the full basket is also poured into the yard to dry.
Qiaozhen looked at Chengzi and Shengzi, and even the time when the sister-in-law Yuhua picked the birth and put it in her mouth, and they didn't care that there was a lot of soil on it, and they picked a few and threw it into their mouths.
Qiao Zhen looked at the falling life, the color of the falling life at this time was very white, but there was soil on it, some were full, and some were blisters, she picked up a blister, wiped the soil on it, and put it in her mouth, so sweet, a kind of sweet and natural sweet taste passed into the mouth, it was really delicious, and it had a small taste.
Qiao Zhen sighed contentedly, she didn't continue to eat, but picked up the corn whiskers and fell into memory.
When she was a child, every time after the autumn harvest, she watched her mother peel corn, she would pick up the corn whiskers and make some saliva stick to her lips, as a beard, and then play the role of the character in the play, learning to shout the characters in the play.
Every time my mother always laughed and said that she was a crazy girl, and now the corn whiskers are there, but what about my mother?
Qiao Zhenqiang couldn't hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, she put the corn whiskers to her lips, and shouted to Chengzi and Shengzi: "Chengzi, Shengzi, look at Auntie." ”
When the two saw the cornbeard on Qiaozhen's lips, they thought it was funny, and they each began to stick their beards, and the laughter in the courtyard continued for a while......
All kinds of crops are drying one by one, this is the hard work of farmers all year round, every harvest time, no matter how tired they are, their faces are happy, Qiaozhen found that the wrinkles on his father's dark face were all smiling, which shows how happy they are in their hearts.
Although I am also happy, I still can't understand my father's mood, her joy for the autumn harvest is too shallow, maybe it is because she has been here for a short time, and she has not fully integrated the life of the farmer.
But looking at the corn hanging in front of the house and behind the house, hanging peppers, and the beans and falling in the yard, Qiaozhen felt that her heart was full, she felt at ease, maybe she really wanted such a simple and quiet day.
When they all cleaned up, they began to be busy planting wheat, and first ploughed the field with a plowshare, and the Wang family had no oxen, so they could only rely on people to pull them, and when they came back every night, the shoulders of the middle and second middle schools were red and swollen.
Seeing her family tired like this, not only the Zhou family was distressed, but Qiaozhen was also distressed, which strengthened her determination to make money, and after this busy time, she must find a way to make money.
After ploughing the field, she began to prepare and then began to plant wheat, because Qiaozhen lived in the era when there were machines to grow wheat, so she did not know how wheat was grown in ancient times.
The machine for planting wheat in this place is made of iron and has holes, and there is a wooden bucket on it, and the wooden bucket also has eyes, and it is filled with wheat, and the wheat can leak through the eyes of the wooden bucket, and there are people in front of them holding ropes, and there are people holding them in the back, so that they can keep it from falling, and they have to take the right route, or else, the wheat will be planted crookedly.
When the wheat is planted, the Wang family is breathing, and the sweet potato field is not planted, this is relatively late, and the land is less, and it is enough to use one morning, so there is no hurry, and the reason why the Wang family did not dig out the sweet potato is because they can eat sweet potato stalks for a few more days, and also in order to make the sweet potatoes grow up, and also to let the sweet potato leaves stay for a longer time, and then the sweet potato stalks and leaves are subjected to frost, then this sweet potato leaf will be very delicious if it is made into noodles.
After these busy days, it is about to be Wang Changshun's birthday in the blink of an eye, Qiaozhen bought things the first day, she cut the meat, bought white noodles, went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, and prepared to give birth to her father the next day.
Yuhua and the others are eyeing the things that Qiaozhen bought, white noodles, they haven't eaten them for two years, and they have forgotten what white noodles taste like.
Qiao Zhen looked at the eggs in the egg jar, and there were only 6 eggs left, which was not enough for one person.
Qiaozhen gave San'er money and asked him to go to the egg seller's house in Zhuangzi to buy ten eggs and come back.
After waiting for a long time, Qiaozhen looked outside and frowned, these three have been gone for a long time, why haven't they come back, is something wrong?
It wasn't until noon that San'er ran back sweaty.
"Tell me, let you buy an egg, you will grow into someone's house, and if you don't eat, you won't be at home." Zhou's number of sons is down.
"It's not that I'm afraid to come back to work, this is a good thing, don't be crazy enough outside." Yuhua also spoke.
"Mother, I didn't play, I went to buy eggs, but people have to be talented, if it weren't for the old leftover, I would have come back earlier." San'er explained.
"What? What are you going to do? Zhou asked puzzledly, what does this buying egg have to do with others.
