Chapter 51: Harvest

The happy time always passes quickly, and before everyone can solve the problem of red brick cracking in a pleasant atmosphere, it will usher in a hard-won harvest.

The wheat is ripe! After more than ten days of exposure to the sun, the field is golden, like a boundless golden ocean, a gust of wind blows, and layers of waves ripple in the golden ocean.

At this time, people who are busy outside the home, people who have other work at hand, will put down all their work, carry sickles on their backs, hold ropes, drive with carts, and carry baskets without carts, and flock to the wheat fields in droves.

Under the scorching sun, swaying with fiery sweat, the dark face illuminated by the sun is filled with the joy of harvest and a happy smile.

It was another harvest season, and the children were not idle, and the adults were responsible for cutting and loading the wheat, and the children did their best to carry the basket behind the wheat. In the end, there will be more than anyone who picks it up, and the most will feel like a victorious general, riding a tall horse and enjoying the adoring eyes of all the children!

Li Hui is also in this crowd, she is wearing a hip-length red dress embroidered with pale yellow chrysanthemums, wearing a small hat made by the Hu family on her head, and picking up ears of wheat behind the adults!

Although I am very tired, I am very happy in my heart, unlike modern times, there are harvesters for wheat and corn harvesting, and they are only responsible for supporting the bag to catch the wheat grains!

In ancient times, not only did they have to be cut down little by little, but they also had to be fished or carried to the wheat field, crushed and cleaned, and finally packed into bags and pulled home!

At this time, the oxen played a great role, not only for pulling the cart, but also for pulling the rollers (cylinders made of stone, used to crush the wheat), and the families with the cattle would harvest their own houses early, and then rent out the cattle, which was another income.

Because the Li family didn't want to be too ostentatious, they didn't buy cattle, not that they couldn't afford it, the Li family made a lot of money by selling medicinal materials, and it was more than enough to buy cattle, but it was too eye-catching and easy to have accidents, so they didn't buy it.

The more the wheat harvest season, the more afraid of rain, a rain down, a season of harvest is all gone, just ripe wheat as soon as the rain will be moldy, can no longer eat!

At this time, everyone is racing against time to work, grab the grain, and God is also racing for time!

Early on, Li Dagui came over and said that when harvesting wheat, they could use their ox cart.

Li Dagui is a shrewd and flexible person, watching the Li family come out again and again, every time it is shocking, he has decided to follow the footsteps of the Li family in the future! So at this time, hurry over to show goodwill and strive for a better relationship between the two families!

There are many people with great strength, adults and children are all dispatched, it didn't take a few days, the wheat left home was cut, and the next thing was the mill, early in the morning, Li Anfu took Li Dagui's cattle and rushed to the wheat field!

The process was monotonous and boring, but everyone was full of energy, the men were responsible for driving the oxen to pull the mills, and the women were sifting and rolling the rest of the wheat over and over again in addition to cooking, so as not to miss a single thing.

In the process, the children are running around the wheat field and playing hide and seek! Running and shouting like crazy!

Li Hui couldn't help but be infected by this lively atmosphere! It's like going back to when I was a child, in my own wheat field, my parents were working, and I was drilling in the wheat straw stack with the neighbor's children, and I would build a small nest with my hands, which was very fun!

Thinking of this, Li Hui couldn't help it! Sweat! People with a psychological age of more than 20 actually want to play the games they played when they were children.,No way.,It's rejuvenation now.,With the age of Lori! I'm proud, I'm proud!

Li Hui is arrogant!

"Little brother, cousin, let's build a house!" Li Hui shouted loudly at Li Yucheng and Wang Zhi'er, who were chasing each other!

"Sister, how to play? Teach me! As soon as he heard about building a house, Li Yucheng was curious, it was definitely an 800-meter sprint speed!

"Then you follow me!" Li Hui led a few small ones to the side of the stacked wheat straw and demonstrated it by herself!

"Look at it, think about what you want, dig a hole in this stack, it can be bigger or smaller!"

"I know, sister, I'll come, I'll come!" Li Yucheng can get through at one point, and he is rushing to do it!

"You can make him turn, or you can go from top to bottom, and you can add the door at the end!" Li Hui's playfulness was stimulated, but she was unwilling to let go, and suddenly found the feeling of childhood play!

Everyone gave full play to their imagination and dug up a variety of shapes! Although there was a lot of straw on their bodies, everyone had a lot of fun! Until the adults urge them to go home for dinner, they are still reluctant to give up, and they turn back three times in one step!

Then I was slapped by my parents, scolded the bear child, and played after eating!

The happy time passed quickly, and the wheat that left home was all rolled and bagged and pulled home in two days, and Li Hui didn't play in the field every day, but since their gameplay was known by a child, everyone knows it!

It's a much more appealing way to play, especially for small children, so much so that in the end, holes are dug into each stack of haystacks!

Then this game was passed down year by year, singing one of the most fun games for children when they were busy farming!

Hardworking people will always be rewarded! No, the day after Li Hui's food was taken back to the house, the heavy rain poured down!

Fortunately, most of the people's food has been received at home, and a small part of the remaining ones have asked someone to help grab them, only a few families are lazy and do not work well, and most of the food has been soaked in water! Among them are Aunt Ma and Yang!

It's terrible, the two of them scold God on the street all day long, scolding others for not giving them a way to live! I still want to borrow grain from other people's homes to pay taxes!

Those who know them know that if they lend them something, it is meat buns and beating dogs, and there is no return! Maybe you'll borrow less!

Peasant family, food is the most important, and they will never lend it to such lazy and sloppy people! There was no way, the two families had to take out the silver to offset the taxes!

Seeing this scene, Li Hui couldn't help but remember that when she was a child, in her hometown, her own family also planted crops, and it was also the time of the wheat harvest, she helped her family to herd geese, and goose breeding was popular in the village! Suddenly, the clouds were thick, and I had only time to drive the geese home, and the hail came down!

That's a lot of grain smashed into the ground, and I can't pick it up!

It's very similar to the current scene! In every era, the hardest people are the working people, but they are the hardest!

Adults don't have time to be sad and sad, counted this year's harvest, everyone can't help laughing, this is the most abundant harvest in recent years, ten acres of first-class fields have more than 500 catties per mu, six acres of inferior fields have also harvested more than 1,800 catties of grain.

"After all, a total of 7,200 catties of grain have been harvested this year! After paying the tax, there will be 5,000 catties of wheat left! "Li Qingshan has calculated!

"That's a lot!" Li sighed that he had never received so much grain!

"Yes, now I'm waiting for the imperial court to send someone to collect taxes!" This is not the sad tone of the past, but the expectation! Looking forward to paying the taxes, the rest is all your own, and you can arrange it at will, whether it is to sell or eat!

I remember when I was a child, when I was a child, when my family was harvesting wheat, a group of children drilled around, thinking it was very fun, and I missed the carefree life when I was a child!!
