48. Harvesting wheat

Tong Xue's movements were very quick, and he soon made more than a dozen more cakes, and when Xu Wenyuan came out to eat, he saw the whole family looking at him.

Xu Wenyuan was a little hairy in his heart, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xu Wenzhao looked at Xu Wenyuan with a smile, his tone was full of excitement, "Second brother, let's go to harvest wheat with you, are you happy?" ”

Xu Wenyuan glanced up at Xu Wenda, and when he saw Xu Wenda nodding, he didn't say anything more, anyway, the eldest brother is free to do things, but he is a little worried about his body.

As for Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing, he wasn't too worried, after all, it was impossible for them to let the two children do heavy work, and they couldn't get tired of lighter work.

Xu Wenyuan finally couldn't help but glance at Xu Wenda worriedly, "Big brother, otherwise you should not go, we can do it." ”

Xu Wenda smiled, with a somewhat ruddy face, it was indeed very different from the past, and his spirit was raised, "I'm fine, at this time, every household is the busiest, everyone has to go out, my own body knows by myself, I will pay attention." ”

Tong Xue felt that with her memory, she should be able to cut wheat easily, but this was not the case.

Tong Xue has tried her best to use herself as fast as possible, but she can't even compare to Xu Wenda, a patient who has not completely recovered.

It's one thing to imagine in memory, it's another thing to actually operate, I don't know if it's the wrong posture to hold the sickle, or what's going on, I always feel that cutting the wheat straw is more difficult than she remembers, and it is harder, after doing it for a morning, Tong Xue's arm hurts a little and can't lift it.

In addition, in the scorching summer at this time, the scorching sun on her head was really too big, and Tong Xue felt that her small body was shaky and almost unstable.

At this time, Xu Wan ran over and handed Tong Xue a water bladder, "Sister-in-law, if you are tired, you might as well rest for a while." ”

Tong Xue nodded, not that she was lazy, but considering that there was still an afternoon to work later, for the sake of sustainable development, she also had to rest for a while.

But Tong Xue has never been a person who lets others work and rests by herself, so she pulled Xu Wan to sit with her, and summoned everyone over to rest under the shade of the tree.

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing who were sweating profusely, they had already saved a lot of ears of wheat in their small baskets, and both of them put them in front of Tong Xue to ask her for credit.

Tong Xue picked up the handkerchief brought from home to wipe the sweat of the two people, then patted the ground beside them, asked the two to sit down, and handed the water bladder to the two children to drink water.

Tong Xue regrets it a little now, she should have boiled a pot of mung bean soup in the morning, brought it over when it was cold, quenched her thirst and got angry, and now she can only wait to go home in the evening.

Xu Wenda is self-aware and knows his body, so he came over when he heard Tong Xue shouting and sat down side by side with Tong Xue.

Xu Wenyuan came over after a long time, and he still wanted to do it for a while, didn't he see that other people's fields were still in full swing?

Tong Xue handed Xu Wenda another water bladder, "Drink some water and rest, the autumn harvest is of course the top priority, but our whole family is dispatched, although our speed is slower, but it is also faster than you alone in previous years, rest for a while and don't worry, the body is the most important." ”

Although it is under the shade of the tree, this big tree hugged by five or six people, the dense canopy, can also reveal the sporadic sunlight, and the breeze blowing in the face is also carrying the heat blowing in the face, "The sun is so big, it is uncomfortable to burn people through the clothes." ”

Xu Wan took over the conversation, "Not really, but everyone would rather stare at the sun and work than on a rainy day, if it rains, the results of this year will be spread out in the ground, and they can't be rescued at all." ”

This is also the case, when it rains during the harvest season, if you can't finish the harvest and leave it in the ground, I'm afraid it will rot in the ground and you will have to lose a lot.

Because winter wheat is planted in the village, the harvest time is very early, so it is still very hot, and it is better in the morning and evening, but at noon, it seems to be able to dry people.

Tong Xue touched the skin that was exposed to the outside just now, it was rough, but now it looks even redder, I am afraid that I will have to take off a layer of skin, this wheat harvest is all manual, it is estimated that she will have to work for several days, she is so exposed to the sun every day, she really can't stand it.

Looking at the stacks of wheat tied together in the field, Tong Xue had an idea, "When we go back, we'll cut some wheat stalks." ”

Xu Wan looked at Tong Xue curiously, "What do you want wheat straw for?" These villagers are all in the fields to fertilize the land. ”

Tong Xue looked at the wheat stacks that had been made, "It's not a lot, so many estimates are enough, I just want to weave a straw hat, the sun can block it somewhat, otherwise, when the wheat is harvested, we will all have to take off a layer of skin." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't react, and it didn't seem to be very positive, Tong Xue said again, "Besides, after this summer grain is harvested, you can plant a crop of beans immediately, and you can still use the wheat after harvesting." ”

Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue, the light in his eyes was complicated and difficult to understand, but after a moment, he returned to normal, Xu Wenyuan had no concept of weaving straw hats at all and was not enthusiastic, so he didn't care at all.

Only Xu Wan asked with great interest, "Can you make a straw hat out of wheat straw?" ”

Tong Xue remembered that she had seen a lot when she was watching a documentary, which seemed to say that straw weaving originated in the Southern Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Tong Xue realized that she had always had the attitude of being at ease when she came, so she forgot to pay attention to what kind of dynasty this was.

Tong Xue asked, "Hasn't anyone in the village made it up?" ”

Xu Wan shook her head, although she didn't have much communication with the people in the village, she often saw her when she went out, and she didn't see anyone wearing a straw hat, "I haven't heard of it." Sister-in-law, you know so much. ”

Tong Xue waved her hand indifferently, if she hadn't come from another world with developed information, she would probably be the same as Xu Wan, her growth environment was different, and it was not something to be particularly proud of, "Some small insect carving skills that are not worth mentioning, I will teach you after I go back." ”

The Xu family hid in the shade of a tree, waiting to avoid the time when the sun was at its strongest, and then went down to work in the fields.

But this place is a piece of land, but there are not many big trees that can shelter in the shade, and the tree that the Xu family is staying with is the largest, so naturally someone is coming in this direction.

The people in the village have already seen that Xu Wenda is also there, and they are all stunned, they were stunned one by one, they said that they were sick some time ago, and they could go to the field to harvest wheat during this time, which was amazing.
