After the two sides communicated, they started their respective work, Xu Ping was the whole family this time, the two of them, Xu Xiangjiao and Xu Xiangming, two sisters and brothers, and a neighbor who came to help, with a big hat on his head, he couldn't see his true appearance, everyone worked together, and soon worked hard in the rice field.

The procedure for harvesting rice is very simple, first use a sickle to cut the rice roots, gather enough hands to hold a bunch, then tie the rice stalk firmly, put the rice bundle into a large rice bucket, and put a cork board on it to beat it repeatedly to get the rice grains out.

Xu Ping's batch of rice is not high, less than the waist, when harvesting, you need to completely bend down to work, it is a very hard thing, plus the weather is hot, you will sweat like rain if you don't cut a few times. However, everyone is accustomed to this, Xu Xiangjiao's sister and brother are also very proficient, and with the help of Yunli, the harvesting work is being carried out in an orderly manner.

On Wang Yuyu's side, Yang Dong not only drove the car, but also arranged the work of moving equipment, Zhou Wenhao was responsible for recording and writing, and Wang Yuyu's job was the writing, so she had to collect enough materials to completely record the process of harvesting rice with words.

Wang Yuyu, the daughter of a rich family, let alone working in the fields, usually doesn't go into the kitchen much at home, and she doesn't have to do the housework herself, and now she has to go to the fields to work, which is tantamount to toddlers. However, Wang Yuyu is not a pampered person, so he quickly adapted to it, followed Yun Li's side, starting from the rice bundle, learning while asking, and throwing the fatigue aside.

In fact, Yunli has also confiscated rice a few times, and it was because of curiosity that he went down to the field to help Xu Ping and them, but he learned quickly, and his hands and feet were very sharp, and he was not slower than Xu Ping, a veteran, and his body was super good, he never shouted tired, Xu Xiangjiao joked that he was born a deputy farmer, and he could not enjoy happiness after suffering hardship.

Due to various reasons, Yunli is very familiar with Xu Ping's family, and Xu Xiangjiao also goes to Banlu Manor from time to time to help with accounts, which can be regarded as half of Yunli's employees. After graduating from high school this year, Xu Xiangming did not continue his education, and now he is still idle at home, occasionally doing odd jobs in the town, or helping the family with farm chores.

Xu Ping originally arranged for him to be a worker in the water plant, but after a few days, Xu Xiangming couldn't adapt and slipped away, and then Xu Ping wanted him to come to Banlu Manor to help, but fortunately he learned some skills by Yunli's side, and also asked Yunli's opinion, Yunli said that there was no problem, but Xu Xiangming was very reluctant to farm work, and he didn't want to come, Xu Ping and his wife didn't put pressure on him, and he was still young, so he had a lot of time to think about his future path.

Although he is reluctant to come to work in Banlu Manor, Xu Xiangming is still very enthusiastic about Yunli, and sometimes he will follow Xu Xiangjiao to Xiaolu Mountain to play, especially like to drive the loose earth, and every time he comes, he has to drive it for a while. Yunli brought people to take pictures this time, and Xu Xiangming also diligently helped deliver tea and water, doing his part.

Although Wang Yuyu works very hard, most of the time, she can only stand aside and watch everyone busy, looking at Yunli's busy back, which makes her feel so strong again, and secretly scolds Yunli for being a freak, learning everything faster than others, and it seems that nothing can be difficult to stop him.

The whole process of harvesting rice is not complicated, there are only a few points that can be recorded and described, but Wang Yuyu still persevered until the end, and after the entire terraced field was harvested, they stopped their work, it seems that this harvest is not small.

It was still very early before it got dark, and the newly harvested rice should be dried as soon as the weather was good to reduce the moisture in the grains and prevent the grains from germinating and deteriorating.

When parting, the neighbor who had not spoken suddenly walked over to Yun Li, stuffed an old paper envelope into his hand, and told him to hand over the old envelope to Shen Hong, without saying anything else, he turned around and left. The neighbor who came to help Xu Ping's family didn't talk much the whole time, he kept wearing a round-pointed bamboo hat, and he couldn't see his real appearance, judging from his age, he was about forty or fifty years old.

Let yourself hand over the things to Shen Hong, and he is the neighbor of Xu Ping's family, so the identity of this middle-aged man wearing a hat is about to come out, Yun Li put away the old envelope, and didn't ask anything.

Wang Yuyu's mission this time is not only to explore the farming mode of terraced rice, but also to deeply understand the relationship between people and the natural environment, and use the most authentic words and pictures to bring the most authentic southwest scenery to their readers. This is a very meaningful thing, so Yunli is very willing to help, whatever Wang Yuyu asks, he will try his best to help achieve it, and he will work hard.

It wasn't until the sun went down that they returned to the bamboo building, and Shen Hong and Lu Ci had already prepared dinner. After dinner, Yun Li thought that the mission was over and he could get out, but Wang Yuyu seemed to see through his thoughts, so he didn't leave, stayed in the bamboo building, and sent Zhou Wenhao and Yang Dong back to the hotel in the county.

On this issue, everyone's opinions are rarely unanimous, and they are all against Wang Yuyu staying, Yunli's reason is very direct, saying that Xiaolushan is very hot and humid in summer, there is no air conditioning, there are many mosquitoes at night, and the sound of insects is endless, and she will definitely not be able to adapt to it, she will not sleep well at night, and she will not have the energy to work tomorrow.

Although Yang Dong is the driver, he came this time by Wang Yuyu's father to take care of her, although the contact time is very short, but he trusts Yunli very much, the two of them are classmates, there will be no problems, but it is safer to go back to the hotel to live. And Zhou Wenhao's reason is more direct, saying that she is a great beauty in this barren mountain and wilderness, in case someone has bad intentions, and he and Yang Dong are not around, it is tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Not only their group, but even Shen Hong strongly opposed Wang Yuyu to stay, in order to achieve her goal, she also made up a nonsensical rumor, saying that there is a strange phenomenon that has been circulating for a long time in Shanglu Village, and outsiders who want to spend the night in the village must go to the mountains to worship and inform the mountain god, otherwise there will be unexpected strange things happening at night.

In the face of the siege of everyone, Wang Yuyu was very calm, and gave counter-attacks one by one, which was reasonable and well-founded, and was awe-inspiring, it seems that she is Lai Ding who is not leaving, and everyone has no choice but to let her go, Zhou Wenhao still wanted to stay together, but after being stared at by Wang Yuyu, he obediently followed Yang Dong back to the hotel.

When Shen Hong left, Yun Li explained the situation to her in the afternoon, and handed over the old envelope to her, Shen Hong's love did not fluctuate, just smiled bitterly, and left by the night.

There were many empty rooms in the bamboo building, but there were few beds and few other pieces of furniture, so Yunli had to give up the three-story room to Wang Yuyu, and he made do with the rocking chair for a night's sleep.

The conditions are very simple, but Wang Yuyu doesn't mind at all, there is an electric water heater in the bathroom on the second floor of the bamboo building, which was purchased by Yun Li after Lu Ci moved in, and he was busy for an afternoon, and he was able to take a hot bath, which was already very satisfying for Wang Yuyu.

The living environment of the bamboo building is not as bad as Yun Li described, on the contrary, it is very good for the taste of Wang Yuyu, the heat during the day dissipates quickly, there will be no stuffy feeling, the sound of insects is very light, it does not constitute a disturbance, it is more like a lullaby at night. When you open the window, you can see the clear and tranquil night sky, with the lonely moon hanging high and the sky full of stars, a beautiful scenery that you may not necessarily see anywhere else.

The third floor was given to Wang Yuyu, Yun Li could only move to the empty room on the second floor, Shen Hong and they made a big fuss and liked to play tricks on people, but Lu Ci didn't have anything to mind, her relationship with Yun Li was clear to herself, she just wanted to work hard to do a good job now, pay off her debts, and not think about those unrealistic things.

It is inconvenient for Yun Li to do these things such as handing towels and pillows to Wang Yuyu, so she will do it all for her, in fact, her impression of Wang Yuyu is quite good, aside from her gorgeous appearance and life experience, Lu Ci can feel that she is an independent and uninhibited person.

Just when Yunli was about to sit and cultivate, Lu Ci came to the door and said that Wang Yuyu wanted him to go to the third floor to talk about something, Yunli didn't know which play this Miss Wang was going to play, so he pulled Lu Ci to the third floor together.

"I said you, just make a joke, are you still afraid that I won't be able to eat you?" Seeing Yunli and Lu Ci coming up together, Wang Yuyu immediately saw Yunli's careful thoughts, and pursed his lips and teased.

"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, in this barren mountains and mountains, if someone has a bad heart, don't I send sheep into the mouth of the tiger?" Yun Li retorted in Zhou Wenhao's tone.

"Childish! You're a tea tree, right, it looks like you've been around for a long time, and you're planning to get a tea garden to play with? If there is good tea in the future, remember to leave some for me. Wang Yuyu pointed to the big red robe tea tree cultivated in the nutrient solution in the center of the small hall, and instructed Yun Li.

Recently, the state of the tea tree is very good, the new buds are gradually growing, the whole tea tree looks no longer lifeless, more vibrant, in the early morning when the weather is good, Yunli will move the tea tree out of the balcony, so that it can adapt to the environment of sun and rain again, and prepare for transplanting back to the soil.

Yunli nodded: "Of course this is okay, but don't think about this one, even if it drops a leaf, Shen Hong just said that unexpected thing will definitely happen to me." ”

Wang Yuyu didn't know that this was a thousand-year-old wild big red robe tea tree, and he didn't know why Bai Yunli attached so much importance to it, so he looked at Lu Ci for help, and the information he got was the same, so he knew that this tea tree was very important, so he didn't joke about it, and changed the topic and said: "I have something to say about you when I look for you, come to my room." ”

Yun Li didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she pulled Lu Ci in, Wang Yuyu took out a laptop computer from her travel backpack and opened it, and after a few clicks on it, she put the computer on the bamboo bed, and beckoned Yun Li and the two to come and see, Yun Li had nothing to scruple about, so he came up.
