Chapter 038 Summer Harvest 2

After listening to Luo Ran's more modern suggestions, Zheng's rabbit jerky made Luo Ran, a foodie who has eaten a lot of food, feel super good. This made Luo Ran think of a way to get rich quick, but now this situation cannot be implemented, and this plan can only be put on hold temporarily.

Luo Ran and the others in the mountains picked a lot of other kinds of wild fruits, and after running wildly, they rushed back at the estimated time.

When I got home, I found that several adults who had been working in the fields had returned, and Zheng was also preparing dinner.

Old Man Luo took a dry tobacco stick, went out of the main house with his hands behind his back, and sat under the tree in the yard. "Papapa", kept smoking, and said to himself: "There is little rain this year, and the grain production has been greatly reduced." He took another sip: "Alas......, what can I do?" Looking at the wheat and rice harvested on this day, there may not be a little rain. ”

It was just that there was no rain a few days ago, which led to a decrease in the yield of this wheat, and it seems that the yield of rice has been reduced even more seriously. Generally, it does not rain for a long time, and it will rain heavily soon after. Some time ago, I was worried that it would rain heavily when harvesting wheat and rice, which would cause the grain to be thrown away in the field and not easy to harvest, but looking at this day, there is still time without rain. If it doesn't rain after the harvest, you won't be able to plant seeds in the fall. Originally, the summer grain production was seriously reduced, and if it was delayed in the autumn,......。 Old Man Luo didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he could only hope that his eldest grandson would be able to show off his talents in high school in one fell swoop, and also give the family a hope.

Here, the Zheng family had already prepared a meal, and beckoned Luo Ran and a few people to carry the table and place it in the courtyard. The weather was hot in summer, and the temperature did not drop even in the evening, so the Luo family ate in the courtyard in the early days.

Qin raised his eyes and looked at Zhao with his rice bowl, and said, "Old man, his aunt Zhao Mancang and her mother-in-law came over today, saying that they were asking about the situation of the literary name." ”

Old Man Luo: "The name of the text should be examined in a few days, and now is the critical time, and I don't know how I am reviewing in the county." ”

Zhao: "Dad, mother, you don't have to worry about the name of the text, the name of the text said that this time it is very certain." Zhao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and continued: "Also, father, mother, you see that the name of the article is so big, people say that they start a family first and then start a business." I thought that when Wenming came back, it was time for Wenming to talk about the marriage, and I couldn't delay it. Daddy, what do you see? ”

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what you said makes sense, you and the boss take a good look." Old Man Luo actually attaches great importance to the marriage of Wenming in his heart, after all, this is a major event in the life of the first grandchild.

"Dad, mother, my father and I have a good candidate. It's my niece, you two elders have also seen it, gentle and virtuous, practical and capable, and a literate person, usually the most filial and obedient. It matches the name of the article quite well. Zhao looked at Qin, who was not speaking, and spoke.

"I said, why did Zhao Mancang's mother-in-law open her mouth and shut up about the marriage of Wenming, it turns out that you are all colluding. The literary name is going to be an official in the future, so can ******'s daughter be worthy of the name? Even if the name of the document is not an official, can Zhao Mancang's family be worthy of our family? When the Qin family heard Zhao say this, he remembered that Zhao Mancang's mother-in-law said how much she had helped Wen Ming today, and it was a great credit to be admitted to Xiucai to become an official, and he was full of unhappiness.

"What nonsense are you talking about. As long as the child is a good child, even if the family is in trouble. We don't want the woman's money. Wenming is a reader, and he will find someone who can read in the future. I've met that girl with your mother, it's a good one, but what do you say about the name of the text? ”

Zhao was afraid that the Qin family would interrupt, so he hurriedly said, "Wen Ming is also willing." These two children have been able to play since childhood, and if my niece marries, she will be wholeheartedly for the sake of her name. "I thought that the dead wife didn't agree, I didn't look down on the Zhao family, and I didn't want my niece to marry and help me. said as if he didn't care for his son. That's my own son, and I have to think about my son no matter what. Think about the obedient niece who got married, how can it be better than the outer eight roads.

Old Man Luo didn't agree with Zhao's words very much, but if the name of the text is matched, the child's character is good, "Since the name of the text is willing, I will talk about it when the name of the text comes back." It's that this child's character is important, and he can't be sloppy. ”

This Luo Wenming is going to get married? Or is it engaged? Does it cost money? If Zhao's niece marries, won't the Luo family be more lively? Luo Ran, who was also at the dinner table, thought to himself. Sure enough, different people have different concerns.

What Qin thinks is, does the woman deserve the name of Shangluo Wen? Is the woman's family background worthy of the Luo family? Can you handle it yourself after marrying?

Zhao is Luo Wenming's mother-in-law, does the woman deserve Luo Wen's name? Is marrying good for the literary name? Is it good for yourself?

Old Man Luo: Does the woman deserve the name of Luo Wen? How's the character? Is marrying good for the literary name? Is it good for the Luo family?

I won't say what Luo Ran thinks specifically, I'm afraid that you will despise her if I say it. Because Luo Ran thought about what he saw in the town last time, he didn't believe that Zhao's niece was as good as Zhao said, unless he made good bamboo shoots, but he didn't rule out this possibility.

The summer harvest has been relatively busy these days, and Old Man Luo has spoken and waited for Luo Wenming to come back, and the Zhao family and the Qin family are just secretly competing. Originally, the Qin family didn't object much to this marriage, but when they thought of Zhao's enthusiasm, they didn't know what bad ideas they were fighting, so they became more and more dissatisfied, but they didn't object much on the surface, just looked at Zhao's nose and not nose and eyes were not eyes. The Zhao family was also full of resentment towards the Qin family in his heart, and he only thought that he must marry his niece.

Putting aside the private confrontation between the two for the time being, Xia Harvest is still continuing. On the first day, the wheat of a few acres of land was harvested, and in the past few days, I have been busy pulling it to the wheat field to shed the husks. It's more strenuous than cutting wheat. Holding a bundle of wheat and shaking it vigorously, separating the wheat from the wheat and then shedding the husk, the people with stones will crush the wheat that has been exposed to the sun again and again, so that the wheat kernels will fall off naturally. It's just that those who have cattle or donkeys will use cows or donkeys as labor to pull stones, and cattle are expensive helpers in rural areas, and most people still don't have these, so they can only be replaced by people.

After the wheat is shed, it is necessary to separate the wheat kernels from the wheat bran (wheat husk), which requires the help of the wind to lift the wheat (called wheat lifting in modern rural areas, that is, using a wooden shovel to shovel the wheat and raise it high, and the wind will blow the lighter wheat bran farther away from the heavier wheat grains, so as to achieve the desired effect). Working people are still smart and know how to use the forces of nature. Luo Jiayang has the best wheat and is the best out of the old man Luo Youli, so this job is basically handed over to Luo Youli.
