It didn't take long for the Qi family to learn how to use the wheat cutter and the threshing machine, Qi Laoniu looked at these brand-new machines and couldn't close his mouth with joy, touching the thresher in his hand and smiling: "This is good, this is good, with this play, we can be a lot more relaxed, the third sister is a great hero of our family." ”

Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled, but she was not modest.

Qi Gu was also very happy, and praised Yun Yao a few more words, and then, with a wave of his hand, he told everyone in the family to go to bed quickly.

In the evening, the weather was not very hot, and all the families went back from the field to the yard to knock the wheat, and the Qi family got up from the bed, washed their faces and changed their clothes one by one, drove an ox cart, and pulled a wheat cutter to the field to cut the wheat.

This time, I didn't see the way back until it was dark, and the Qi family didn't feel tired, and when they returned home, they saw the hill-like wheat stacks in the yard, and they were shocked to realize that they had cut more than 20 acres of land in a little time.

Qi Laoniu couldn't hide the smile on his face, and urged everyone to hurry up and eat, saying that after eating, the family would take turns to beat wheat, and wait until tomorrow morning to cut some wheat.

This night, there were many large lanterns hung in the courtyard of Qijiachang, and the place where it was lit was bright, and the family took turns to threh wheat and sleep and rest.

Yun Yao realized that she didn't go to the field to cut wheat in the afternoon, so she thought about helping to beat the wheat first, she and Qi Baoling worked together, Qi Baoling was responsible for shaking the handle, and Yun Yao was responsible for adding wheat to it.

Yun Yao changed into an old coarse cloth clothes, wrapped her hair with a blue and white handkerchief, and found a big handkerchief to fold and tie under her eyes. Cover your nose and mouth, revealing only one pair of eyes.

When she was ready, she brought over a few sheaves of wheat, first folding the wheat and then adding little by little to the threshing machine.

Baoling held the handle and shook it, and after a while, the golden wheat grains flowed out like water and flowed into a large basket that had been put away, and when the big basket was full of wheat, Yun Yao and Baoling took the wheat in the pocket and piled it aside, and so on. I did it for an hour. Yun Yao was so tired that she almost couldn't stand.

Qi Gu came out to take a look, and when he saw Yun Yao's sweat, his face was as white as paper, and he suddenly felt distressed. Hurry up and tell Yun Yao to rest first. She came and threshed wheat with Baoling.

Where is Yun Yao. Qi Gu's has been exhausted these days, and his back and legs hurt after not walking much, and he is not as good as young people when he is older. The young man was tired and rested overnight, but Qi Gu's couldn't slow down for several days, how could Yun Yao make her tired and sit aside and rest.

"Mother, I can do it." Yun Yao smiled and pretended to be wheat with Baoling: "It's just a matter of the past few days, when our family finishes harvesting the wheat, you can ask the fifth sister to cook a delicious meal and treat me well." ”

Qi Gushi pulled his face: "What can't you do, go aside, you dare to hold on to your small body, you really have to be tired, don't say what's wrong with the fourth child, even your father and I are distressed." ”

Qi Baoling also smiled and persuaded Yun Yao: "Sister-in-law, rest for a while, your body is weak and your foundation is not good, you have only been raising it for so many days and it is better than before, what if you are tired again." ”

Yun Yao laughed dryly, and when she saw that Qi Gu and Qi Baoling were stopping her, she didn't want to say anything, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to boil some water, and took out some water to prepare it, and took a basin and a handkerchief and put it aside, preparing to come over and drink saliva and rest for a while.

This night, the Qi family worked for half a night, and after the early morning, the family got up and pulled the wheat cutter to go to the field to cut the wheat.

When the sky was slightly bright, the Qi family came back with wheat, and according to Qi Yinzhu, they had cut more than 20 acres of land this morning, and the wheat they had previously cut would be harvested in a day or two.

Qi Tongsuo was there with his fingers to settle the accounts, only saying that if Yun Yao hadn't come back with that wheat cutter, I am afraid they would be exhausted, and they would not be able to finish cutting it for another seven or eight days, not to mention the wheat, what I was most afraid of in previous years was to harvest wheat and wheat, and even if I collected wheat, this wheat was tired and dirty and did not work, and it made people feel furious when they mentioned it.

But this year, with Yun Yao's threshing machine, there is no longer any need to be afraid of beating wheat.

In this way, the Qi family worked at night and rested during the hot day, and within two or three days all the wheat was harvested, and one day later, the wheat was threshed and dried in the yard with such big thorns.

Because the time of work is staggered with other people's families, no one knows what kind of machine the Qi family actually gets, and everyone just said that the Qi family is strong and the girl is capable, and the work has been done in just a few days, but they don't suspect that the Qi family has made any methods.

Put the wheat in the warehouse, the family finally relaxed, Qi Yinzhu and a few girls were happy, gathered together to discuss how to make a few new clothes, and then a few new jewelry, to discuss and discuss, the sisters and children all said to go to Fucheng to go around, see what new colors of fabric, and then look at what the little lady in Fucheng wears and wears.

Especially the copper lock, as soon as this girl mentioned Fucheng, the whole person was like eating something happy peach, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

Qi Gu listened to what they said, and also had a fun, and remembered that Yun Yao loved to eat, and also said that when the wheat was harvested, he would eat well, so he asked Baozhu and Baohua to eat some food, and asked Yinzhu to go to Zhou's house to see if the wheat in Zhou's field had been harvested, and if it was collected, call the family to have a reunion dinner.

Yinzhu took the order, Baozhu and Baohua were busy in the kitchen all morning, preparing two large tables of good dishes and good rice, chicken, duck and fish, and many special dishes that Baozhu learned from the restaurant, Yun Yao looked at the red stewed prawns, steamed fish, sauced beef, and fried chicken nuggets on the table...... Rao's saliva almost flowed out.

In the middle of the morning, Yinzhu came back from Zhou's house, only saying that the Zhou family had just finished harvesting the wheat, and Jin Zhi also wanted to go home to see, saying that he wanted to help the family harvest the wheat.

At this time, when it was almost noon, Qi Jinzhi came with the Zhou family, naturally, they did not come empty-handed, Zhou Hongwen brought gifts. It was the fish that Zhou Xiuying caught from the river, as well as the river shrimp caught by Zhou Shuying and Zhou Xiuying sisters with small fishing nets, two roosters, and a few pairs of shoes made by the Zhou sisters.

Qi Gu saw Jin Zhi smiling and couldn't see his eyes, and asked Yinzhu and Tongsuo to pick up the things in Zhou Hongwen and Zhou Shuying's hands, and said with a smile: "Really, I asked you to come over for a meal because there are no elders in your family now, and it is inevitable that it will be colder. Also brought something. I'll keep it this time.,I'm not allowed next time.,I'll call you to dinner in the future.,Just bring your mouth.,Did you hear?。 ”

Zhou Hongwen smiled while saluting: "The son-in-law wrote it down." ”

Zhou Shuying and Zhou Xiuying, the two sisters, saw the ceremony, but they didn't treat themselves as guests. Nor take Joe. Both went into the kitchen to help.

However, I saw that the Qi family's wine and food were ready. There's nothing to do with it, so it's coming out.

When Qi Laoniu came over, the two families sat at two full tables, because of the wind and rain this year, the crops in the fields grew well. The harvest was also very good, the two families were all smiling, Qi Laoniu asked about Zhou Hong's literary career, Qi Gu and Zhou Shuying said some housework, and for a while, the atmosphere was quite good.

The little sisters at the bottom were joking and joking, and the banquet was staggered, and it was indescribably prosperous.

After eating, the two families sat together and gossiped, and the Zhou family did not return until the evening, and then a few days later, without waiting for the wheat of each family to be harvested and dried and put in the warehouse, the weather was gloomy, and many people were anxious to cut the wheat back and put it in the house first, so as not to let the rain be drenched.

It's just that before everyone has finished their work, God can't wait, and the rain beads the size of beans fall, and after a quarter of an hour of rain, hail falls, and the wheat that has not been harvested is really terrible this time, I don't know how many families fell in the rain and cried bitterly.

Qi Laoniu looked at the rain outside through the window, turned back to Qi Gu and sighed: "Our family is also blessed, this daughter-in-law married is really good, I'm afraid that I was born with good luck." ”

"yes." Qi Gu put the silver he had saved over the years into a box and put it away, then took out a slightly thicker piece of clothing and handed it to Qi Laoniu: "It's cold, let's change your clothes." ”

Waiting for Qi Laoniu to change his clothes, Qi Gu said with a smile: "Since the third sister entered our house, our family's life is getting better day by day, and it has only been a few days. ”

"Wait." Qi Laoniu frowned: "Forget the boss, she married early, the eldest son-in-law is also a literary talent, maybe he will be able to get famous in three or five years, the second and third are all official, and the fifth and sixth can no longer find a white body, let's wait, wait for the fourth to pass the exam, the second and third will gain a firm foothold in the in-law's house, and then find a good one for the fifth and sixth children." ”

"Hmm." Qi Gu nodded: "You're talking about this reason." ”

Qi Laoniu said again: "The two of us are old, and there is only the fourth child, sooner or later this family will be left to the fourth, I look at the third sister is good, what is there to discuss with her in the future, in a few years, the two of us will be old, call the third sister to be in charge, you can also talk to the third sister about the marriage of the fifth and sixth sisters, and ask her to help find one or two." ”

"Can this be done?" Qi Gushi was still a little worried when he heard this: "The third sister is young in the end. ”

"She has a plan." Qi Laoniu looks honest on the face, but she is transparent inside, and she can see things accurately: "I think she is fine, she is thoughtful in everything, and she is good with the girls in our family, and she will not pit the fifth or sixth child in this matter." ”

One sentence made Qi Gushi dispel the worries in his heart: "You say so, then I won't say anything, just rely on the third sister more in the future, anyway, this family will be hers sooner or later, she can toss as much as she likes, as long as there is no shortage of food for the two of us, everything is up to her." ”

"That's all you need." Qi Laoniu changed his clothes and sat at the table drinking tea: "Look at how many families in our village quarrel and fight all day because of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, such people are never doing well, and then look at those who are harmonious, life is smooth and deserved, and the children are also very polite." ”

Qi Gu thought about it, but it was really like this.

Qi Laoniu said again: "Civil strife is the foundation of the defeated family, no matter what happens to a family, can not fight, if you want to avoid infighting, you have to have a master, big hands, otherwise, this family will not be able to live in peace, no family is much chaotic in charge, no one is the same, there must be a big idea, he took the idea, others are honest to follow, this can prosper, I look at the third sister is shrewd, and knowledgeable and courteous, look at things and accurate, see people can also see clearly, It's not a little bit stronger than the two of us, and she is more reliable than us in her ideas. ”

As for Qi Laoniu's words, Yun Yao's solid foundation in the Qi family has been laid since then. (To be continued.) )
