Chapter Seventy-One: Why not
After eating, the Su family got up and prepared to continue cutting rice, but they all tacitly agreed without saying a word, for fear that any inappropriate sentence would touch Uncle Niu's forbidden point and want to work in the field with them.
"Big brother, Brother Shi, wait a minute." Su Xiaoxiao also got up and stopped the two of them.
"What's the matter?" Su Dahu stopped, and Su Shi also looked at Su Xiaoxiao and didn't know what he was thinking.
"That's right, you see that there are so many people now, can we do it in two batches." Su Xiaoxiao really thinks that there are a lot of people.
There are six people in their family, plus Su Chaodong's father and son, there are eight, plus three people from Niu Da Niu's family (not counting Uncle Niu), a total of more than a dozen people cut rice together, which feels too wasteful.
"Two batches?" Su Dahu looked at the people in the field, he felt that there were a lot of people, but how could he go too far? What are you doing when you divide it?
"Yes, in two batches, one to continue to cut the rice as it is now, and the other to remove the grain." In fact, Su Xiaoxiao felt that it would be a waste of manpower and time to go to threshing the grains together after all the cuts, because there were only two people standing on the threshing machine, and there was no room for more.
"A batch of de-threshing grains?" Su Dahu's eyes lit up, why didn't they think of doing this, although it would be cut slowly, the grains would also be taken off at the same time. Thinking about the speed of the threshing machine, the grains should be finished by the time the cut is finished.
"Okay, like you said, how to divide people, you say, I'll arrange it." Su Dahu was really happy, and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes brightened, and he felt that this second sister was really smart since she woke up.
"That's not in a hurry, you guys go home and bring the threshing machine over first." Su Xiaoxiao said this, then turned his head to look at Su Shi and said, "Brother Shi, I will trouble you to help carry the threshing machine over together." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." Su Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said. Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, they became deeper and deeper, but they also knew that they were impossible, and finally lowered their heads and didn't dare to take another look.
Uncle Niu heard that Su Xiaoxin was going to carry the threshing machine over, and he was immediately excited. In the morning, I heard that they had such a thing in their house, and now that they can finally see it, I feel excited to think about it.
"Xiaoxiao, is the threshing machine really that magical?" Excitement is excitement. Excitement is excitement. Uncle Niu is still very concerned about whether it can be used.
"Of course it works, I tried it in the morning, but it works. And it's fast, too. Su Xiaoxiao sat on the ridge and held Uncle Niu's arm to prevent him from having the opportunity to go down to work.
"Good, good." Uncle Niu said three good things in a row, and suddenly tears appeared in his eyes when he didn't know what to think.
The tears in Uncle Niu's eyes startled Su Xiaoxiao, and he hurriedly asked worriedly, "Uncle Niu, what's wrong with you?" You okay. ”
"It's fine. It's okay. Uncle Niu wiped the tears that had not fallen, and said with a reluctant smile: "I just thought of some of the past." ”
Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask. Uncle Niu didn't say anything, but Su Xiaoxiao still knew that it must be related to Grandma. In the memory of the original owner, it seems that he had heard his father and mother mention that Uncle Niu's wife was exhausted to death during a threshing process, and it was from that time that the Niu family stopped letting Uncle Niu work in the field. They are also afraid that Uncle Niu will be tired like Grandma.
Su Xiaoxiao was also silent and stopped talking. Uncle Niu also seemed to be stuck in the memory of the past, full of grief.
"Tiny. Where to put the threshing machine? Su Dahu and Su Shi carried the threshing machine over.
"Wait a minute." Su Xiaoxiao realized that she hadn't yet made a place where she could put the threshing machine, and when she looked up, she saw Su Damei following behind. I beckoned her to help and went down to the field, but I cleared the rice to the side so that the threshing machine had a place to put it.
"Alright." Su Xiaoxiao looked at the small piece of place that had been sorted out, and looked at Su Dahu very embarrassed, and they smiled.
Su Dahu and Su Shi put down the threshing machine and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, waiting for her next order.
"How many baskets do we have?"
"Three."
"Three?" Su Xiaoxiao frowned, "It's not enough, can you borrow two more or more." ”
Su Dahu thought about it with a little frown, it is really difficult to borrow it at this time, everyone is busy harvesting the grain, and it is also the time to use the basket.
"I have five in my house, I can spare two of them, Xiaoxiao, have you seen enough?" Su Shi knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Su Dahu's appearance, but also, now when everyone is harvesting grain, it is indeed difficult to borrow baskets.
"I have four in my family, and I don't need them now, so let's bring them too." Uncle Niu also proposed on the side.
Su Xiaoxiao calculated the place from here to the barnyard, although it was a bit far, but it should be about the same, but she couldn't be sure, but it would be enough if she could dry in her yard.
"Can the beaten grains only be dried in the barn?" Su Xiaoxiao felt that in his previous life, he did not have the habit of sharing a threshing field in a village, and every family was exposed in their own yards, otherwise it could be dried on the road.
Su Dahu looked at Su Xiaoxiao strangely, I don't know why she asked like this, don't every family do this? Could it be that there are other places that are so big that you can sunbathe?
Seeing Su Dahu looking at himself like an idiot, Su Xiaoxiao was angry, and after a glare, he asked, "What's wrong?" Can it only be sunbathed in the barn? Can't you dry it in other places? ”
"It's not that no, it's not that big." Su Dahu kindly explained, he didn't know why Su Xiaoxiao was angry.
"Isn't our yard quite big? Can't you dry it? Su Xiaoxiao didn't know why these ancients didn't know how to work around. How good it is to be exposed in their own yard, it is in their own home, it is convenient to dry, it is also convenient to collect, and they are not afraid of being stolen by someone at night, why haven't they thought of a good place to kill one stone.
Su Dahu froze, Su Shi froze, and even Uncle Niu who was sitting on the ridge was frozen, they really didn't think about this. My ancestors have been drying the grain in the barn for generations, and they have never dried it in their own yards.
"Can I dry it in my own yard?" Su Shi also looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
"Why can't you do it?" Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and glanced at Su Shi, she really doubted that these ancients were all caught in the door, otherwise, how could they be so pedantic and not used in a convenient place.
"The yard is so big, what are you doing empty? Dried human flesh? Su Xiaoxiao also didn't understand why no one would think that he could dry millet in such a big yard? Do you have to squeeze such a dry little piece of space on the threshing floor?
Su Dahu and Su Shi choked and stopped talking, they didn't know this, they only knew that every family went to the grain field to dry the grain, and sometimes the two families would fight for such a small place, I didn't think it was like anything before, but now I hear Su Xiaoxiao say this, it seems to make a lot of sense.
"I don't care what happens to other people's homes, our family is dried in our own yard." Su Xiaoxiao finally said this, turned her head to look at Su Damei and said, "Sister, you go home first and clean up the yard, and when the grains come out, you will pick a house to dry." ”
Su Damei nodded and turned around and left, in fact, she had already thought of drying in her yard, but seeing that no one in the village did this, she was not easy to tell her parents, she was afraid that Su Chaonan would not agree, but now that it is okay, Su Xiaoxiao's father and mother will definitely agree.
