Chapter 279: Cutting Wheat

The next day, Zhang Taiping took out the blade and sharpened it, and installed it on the sickle shelf. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info\\qb5.c0m//The blade and the blade holder of this sickle are separated, because the blade is made of hard steel in order to be sharp, and the thin blade that is unusually sharp but easy to break off the tip of the blade is generally prepared, and the blade can be changed at will.

Everything was ready, and I waited for the afternoon to go into the ground and mow.

At this time, Cai Yazhi came over and said: "I suddenly remembered that there is no colored striped cloth at home, and if it suddenly rains heavily, it will be terrible, so I should hurry up and buy a piece of colored striped cloth." ”

After she reminded Zhang Taiping of this, he remembered that there was indeed nothing in the house that could block the rain, so he immediately rode to the town and bought a 20-meter-long and 10-meter-wide large colored striped cloth, which can not only cover food when it rains, but also can be used to dry things at ordinary times.

In the afternoon, except for the old man who was persuaded back by Zhang Taiping, everyone else, no matter how big or small, went into the ground.

The rest of the people in the whole wheat field were already in full swing. In fact, people like to replace the word "summer" in the summer harvest with the word "grab", grabbing, grabbing, and having an urgent meaning in it. No one can say for sure what the weather will be in the summer, maybe the sun is still shining at this time, and it will turn into a storm again before a meal is finished, and even the rain while basking in the sun is not unseen.

Only when you grab the wheat field can it be considered a little safe, at least when the rain comes, you can cover it with something. Hey, if the wheat is ripe and still in the ground, but suddenly it rains heavily, then you can only wait for the wheat to grow with the corn.

Zhang Taiping's land is two acres, and the main scythes are Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi, although Xingrushui has never done this kind of work, but it is like a brave try. So the three of them cut, and Fan Ming took the three little girls to sit under a big tree to make waists.

This is easy to say, that is, just twist two handfuls of wheat stalks together, but it is not as easy as it is said, at least Fan Ming is not as good as Ye Ling.

Fan Ming couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Ling'er, have you ever done this before?" ”

Ye Ling smiled and said, "After my grandmother got sick, I did everything I did to harvest the crops myself. At this moment, the ten-year-old girl's face has a maturity that is not similar to her age.

"Ling'er, you're amazing!" Fan Ming sighed: "I can't do anything. ”

Ye Ling smiled and didn't dwell on this issue anymore, there was really no need to show it off, it was just forced by life, otherwise how could a person who should have studied in school be able to play with a sickle? Tell Fan Ming about the various essentials and tips for making kidneys. And Yaya and Tian Tian had already run to the edge of the ground to catch grasshoppers.

Among the three, Cai Yazhi is the most skilled in cutting wheat, holding her left arm, and the sickle on her right hand is slashed underneath, only to hear a snort, a large piece of wheat in her left hand falls down in response, and the wheat stubble on the ground is low and even, and six or seven times is a big bundle.

Zhang Taiping is also a person who has never been on the ground, he should not know how to use a sickle like water, but his physical coordination and learning ability are a little perverted, and after watching Cai Yazhi's movements twice, he mastered the essentials, with arm span and strength, he was the boss with a sickle, and quickly became the main force among the three. And although Xing Rushui is also a person who practices martial arts, his physical coordination ability is good, but he is not as perverted as Zhang Taiping, and he can barely swing a sickle to cut, but he is not as smooth as Cai Yazhi.

Seeing that Cai Yazhi's pile was a little small, Zhang Taiping said: "The bundle is enlarged a little, and it is convenient to load it on the car when the time comes." ”

After Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui found the essentials and cut smoothly, with the efficiency of the three of them, Fan Ming and Ye Ling's waists were already in short supply. So Zhang Taiping had to cut his waist while doing it.

At this time, two men and one woman came into a field next to it, put the water bottle on the ground and began to cut, the cutting speed was quite fast, but the cutting was a little messy, scattered and left wheat branches all over the ground, empty speed but no quality. Most of the spilled ears of wheat were wasted if no one paid attention to them, and Zhang Taiping didn't know these three people at all.

Just when she wanted to ask, Cai Yazhi also raised her head to look at these three people, and said to Zhang Taiping: "These three people are Maike called by Wang Yangzhi's daughter-in-law, Wang Yangzhi was working outside and couldn't come back, and their family has a lot of land, so his daughter-in-law invited three Maike." ”

Maike is the person who helps others cut wheat when they are busy in the summer, these people are generally from other places, and they cut wheat just to make money, not their own home, the picture is speed, and the waste is a bit big.

"Oh? McKee. Zhang Taiping was a little surprised, in the case of the large-scale popularization of harvesters, the strength required by people is small, and it is rare to see Maike, and it can only appear in this kind of small mountain village where modern machines cannot go to the ground. It gives the feeling of going back to the nineties.

Zhang Taiping stood up and moved himself, and said to the two women: "Take a break and eat a watermelon." When Zhang Taiping came, he put two big watermelons in the cart, and when he was carrying water, he shouted to Ye Ling under the big tree on the ground, "Ling'er, bring the watermelons over." ”

All four people of hula size came over, and Yaya was carrying a plastic bag in her hand, which contained half a bag of grasshoppers, and raised it to Zhang Taiping, this is the result of the two of them this afternoon.

"What are you doing catching so many grasshoppers?" Zhang Taiping asked, and he saw that some of the grasshoppers inside the plastic bag were dead.

"Go back and feed the chickens, and the hens will lay three yellow eggs after eating." Yaya said with a wink.

Zhang Taiping patted his head, it was really funny, and he even forgot about this, grasshoppers are high-protein substances and are the favorite of chickens. said to Yaya: "You call the other friends to catch it together." ”

Yaya shook her head and said, "Kuroko, they caught it and fed it to their own chickens." ”

Zhang Taiping said: "You can tell them that they have been grasshoppers for a penny and sell them to our family." "One is a penny, a hundred is a dollar, and a dollar is very attractive to a four- or five-year-old doll in the mountains.

Yaya's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she felt that this idea was good. Zhang Taiping's heart was moved, and after the wheat in this field was cut, he drove the chickens and ducks over to peck at the grasshoppers himself.

Seven people sat around and killed a large watermelon to eat, quenching their thirst and delicious. After eating, they began to work according to their duties.

Suddenly, the fat rabbit jumped out of Cai Yazhi's side, which frightened her, and after the rabbit ran desperately, Cai Yazhi patted her chest and prepared to continue the knife, but found that there was a rabbit nest in front of her.

"Come and see, there's a litter of bunnies here." She shouted to Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui.

Zhang Taiping looked over and saw that there were still six little rabbits in the nest that had just learned to crawl, their eyes were not opened, and they all shrank into a ball and curled up in the grass nest. Zhang Taiping's heart moved, he has always had the idea of raising some rabbits on the grassland in the space, but he is busy all day these days and has no time to do these idle things, but it is an opportunity to meet a litter of rabbits.

said to Fan Ming and Ye Ling, who were coming around: "Think of some way to bring these little rabbits back and raise them." ”

Hearing this, Ye Ling skillfully used wheat stalks to quickly weave a nest like a straw hat, padded some soft grass inside, put six little rabbits in it, and temporarily handed it over to Yaya and Tiantian for safekeeping.

One of the advantages of working in the afternoon is that the more you work, the cooler it gets, the more energetic you will be, and the more efficient you will be. In the evening, two-thirds of the two acres of land had been cut down by the trio, and the remaining third would be finished tomorrow morning in another half of the morning.

"You guys go back first, and I'll do the rest." Zhang Taiping looked at the shrouded night and said.

Cai Yazhi still has to cook when he goes back, and then he bundles and loads the car, and when he pulls, he has a lot of strength and doesn't have to push the cart behind him, so he didn't stay to help.

All five people left, and only Ye Ling insisted on staying to help Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping tied up, and she transferred the bundled wheat stack to the car on the side of the field, but after all, people are small and weak, and it looks very difficult to take a bundle at a time. The small body gritted its teeth and insisted on moving a bundle to the side of the car, which made people look a little distressed.

Zhang Taiping said: "You don't have to move, come and talk to the master." ”

The master's words were naturally to be followed, and these wheat stacks were a bit too big and heavy, and he really couldn't move them, so he came over and squatted next to Zhang Taiping and watched him tie up the wheat stacks one by one.

"Do you want to go to school?" Zhang Taiping suddenly asked.

Ye Ling's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

Zhang Taiping didn't know what she was worried about, but as long as she wanted to go to school: "Then I will send you and Yaya to school when the new semester starts in September this year." Have you ever been to school before? ”

Shaking his head: "There was no school in the village before, but my grandmother taught me Chinese characters and arithmetic. ”

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Then wait for your little sister to test it when she comes back from the summer vacation, and see what grade you are suitable for." ”

Ye Ling nodded happily.

After bundling, a cart was loaded first, Ye Ling wanted to help push it in the back of the car, but in this mountain, Zhang Taiping didn't feel at ease to let her walk behind alone, and said, "You go ahead of me." That way, she was always within her sight and didn't worry about anything happening.

Pull the car to the big field, the whole wheat field is planted with wheat stacks, only the place of his own house is empty, after the unloading car is planted, let Ye Ling go back first, he went to the field alone and pulled it four times before pulling back all the mowing today.
