Du Yue really couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to wash it first, and then come back to help with the harvest later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The creek is on the other side of the rice field, Du Yue walked carefully along the field stalk, this field stalk is too small, if you are not careful, it is estimated that you will have to fall into the field, although there is no water in the field, but it will also overwhelm these rice, although it is going to be harvested, it is not a big deal to overwhelm, but it will always be troublesome to harvest. This creek is not big, and Du Yue can easily cross it. The water in the creek is not much, probably because it hasn't rained recently, but the water is very clear, and you can see it clearly with a few small fish swimming occasionally.

Du Yue stood firm on the stone by the stream, then rolled up his sleeves slightly, and put both hands into the water, the cool water made Du Yue feel less itchy. Du Yue continued to stretch her hand into the stream, letting the stream overflow her hand, and the flowing water on it kept impacting. Du Yue poured water on her right arm with her left hand, and then changed her right hand to pour her hand on her left arm, and after washing it all, Du Yue felt very comfortable, not at all like just now, it was itchy to the core.

Du Yue didn't delay any longer, after all, the autumn harvest had to be hurried, although the locusts in the field didn't look too much now, but who knows when the locusts will come in large numbers. Du Yue got up from the stream and walked to the field again. Just washing their hands, Liu Lin's mother and son harvested a large piece of rice, and there were already a lot of cut grains in the field, Du Yue returned to the field, picked up the sickle and continued to harvest.

Liu Lin saw that there was a lot of harvesting, so he put the sickle aside, hugged all the harvested rice to Liu Tianming's side, and began to help remove the grain together. Although Liu Tianming said that he had a lot of strength, but the work of removing the grains was always tossed and turned, and he was so tired that he panicked, and when he saw his wife coming to take over, he didn't dare to rest, so he went to take the sickle that his wife had just put down and began to harvest.

The surrounding fields are all busy harvesting villagers, no longer like the autumn harvest in previous years, when they are tired of harvesting, they stop to rest, and then chat a few words or something, now they are all bent over or squatting in the field, constantly waving the sickle in their hands, harvesting the rice in the field, occasionally squatting numb, just change their posture, bend over, waist tired, squatting to continue to harvest these rice, they are eager to harvest these rice at once, at this time they are all competing with locusts in time, it depends on their harvest fast, Or the locusts are coming quickly.

In addition to the noise of children, there is only the sound of harvesting rice and threshing grains, and there is no sound of an adult, they all know that chatting will also slow down the speed of harvesting, and now is the time to fight with locusts for rations.

When more than half of the rice in this field was harvested, the grain bucket was almost full, Liu Tianming poured all the grains in the grain bucket into the basket that Liu Lin picked up, just filled the basket, Liu Tianming emptied the grain in the grain bucket, and did not continue to remove the grains, he had to pick these grains to the grain flat first, or there were many piles, and it was not easy to dry, if it was not dried, the millet would be easy to mold, if it was moldy, these would not be in vain.

Liu Tianming came to his own home, took a big broom placed there, and swept away the leaves and grass on the sunning flat. After sweeping the sun-drying flat, Liu Tianming poured down the two baskets of grains and used a wooden nail rake to spread the grains so that the sun could shine. After Liu Tianming raked all the grains and scattered them, he didn't delay, carried the empty basket, went back to the field, and then took off the grains.

By the time Liu Tianming's family had finished harvesting the half acre of land, the sun had already reached the top. But they didn't plan to stop, there were five acres of rice at home, where did they dare to stop, so they just walked to the field on the other side and continued to harvest. The food that several people ate in the morning was digested because of the non-stop labor, and Liu Lin looked at the big sun, and knew that he was going to prepare lunch, or he was hungry, and he couldn't harvest much. At this time, Du Yue and Yuan Ping Yuanqing harvested rice much slower than in the morning.

"Ping'er, Yueniang, you go back and make lunch, you can eat it first, and then bring it to us when you're full." Liu Lin straightened up his tired waist. Said to Du Yue and Yuan Ping.

"Okay, then we'll go back to cooking first, and I'll bring it to you later." Du Yue also knew that she couldn't go back to eat, so she put down the sickle, took Yuan Ping with her, and rushed home.

"Ping'er, you go wash rice and cook rice, and I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and come back." As soon as the two arrived at home, Du Yue said to Yuan Ping.

"Okay." Yuan Ping answered, went to the kitchen, took a basin to the rice jar, scooped a liter of rice into the basin, cleaned it, poured it into the pot, added enough water, Yuan Ping took the flint to make a fire, ready to make a fire to cook.

Du Yue went to the kitchen to take the vegetable basket, went to the vegetable field in the backyard, picked some long beans and picked some green vegetables, and the lunch was in a hurry, the dishes couldn't do too much, Du Yue could only make more dishes, and he didn't have time to make that complicated dish. After Du Yue picked all the dishes, she took them back to the kitchen, washed the dishes neatly, and the beans were also folded into sections, the beans were wet, Du Yue patted a few garlic rice, and prepared to fry the beans for a while.

Yuan Ping had already washed all the pots to be fried, and at this time he also went to the stove where the vegetables were stir-fried, and after the pot was hot, Du Yue dug up a big spoonful of lard and put it in the pot. There's no way, there's no meat at home, so I can only put more oil to fry vegetables, and I don't order meat, and I'm hungry when I do farm work.

After the lard melted, Du Yue put a few garlic that had just been slapped into the pot, fried the garlic until fragrant, and Du Yue hurriedly poured the drained beans into the pot. As soon as the beans were put into the pot, with a "chirp", Du Yue took the spatula and began to stir-fry.

It didn't take long for Du Yue to fry all the beans, and she put all the vegetables into a deeper pot, so that she could take them to the field in a while. After the beans were fried, Du Yue reheated the pot, fried the greens as well, and still put them in a deeper pot.

After Du Yue finished all the dishes, Yuan Ping also cooked the rice at this point, Yuan Ping withdrew the fires from the two stoves, and put the rice in a pot. Du Yue went to find two baskets and put the food and chopsticks into the baskets.

Du Yue and Yuan Ping picked up a basket and went to the field. Although before coming back, Liu Lin said that they would bring them to eat when they were full, but Du Yue and Yuan Ping knew that they were very hungry, so they were embarrassed to eat first. (To be continued.) )
