Chapter 106: Preparing for the Wheat Harvest
He Shi looked at Da Jiang's words very resolutely, and knew that Da Jiang was telling the truth, he didn't make a sound on the surface, and muttered in his heart, you don't go, I'll go by myself, I will go there to work, and the money will naturally be returned. He felt that the people in Erniu's family had always been very talkative, and he had to do this thing no matter what, it was one or two silver a month, and He thought of the silver in vain, and he couldn't care about anything in his mind.
But because Da Jiang was on the side, she didn't dare to go immediately, for fear that Da Jiang would be as nervous as last time. This man in his own family, the He family knows, and he usually scolds him no matter how he scolds him, but his father and brother, he takes it very seriously, and last time he said that he was going to divorce her because of these things, and now he can't go. When Dajiang is not at home one day, he will definitely have to go there.
Song Yuemei looked at her mother-in-law from the side, knowing that her mother-in-law must have an idea in her heart, although her mother-in-law didn't get along for a long time, she still knew something, one or two silver a month, her mother-in-law would definitely not let go of this opportunity, she was waiting to see a good show, and it would be good to see her mother-in-law go to the second uncle's side to make trouble.
The people in Lin He's family didn't know He's plan yet, the family was doing some embroidery every day, and the children were running around for another day, and soon it was time to harvest the wheat.
The night before the wheat harvest, even Dabao in the town also returned, and Erniu saw that the family was there, and said, "I asked the old people in the village, saying that the weather is good these days, and there will be no rain, so we will start harvesting tomorrow, and strive to harvest the wheat in these days, and then dry it." The threshing must be done well, otherwise when it rains, there will not be much grain harvested. child, I didn't want you to go to the field again this year. There is no way to do this shortage of manpower. ”
Huang nodded, looked at the second bull's eye with disgust, thinking about who doesn't go to the field to do things when the wheat is harvested, this is also worth saying, really.
This Lin He knows that it is the same as harvesting rice in his previous life. Take advantage of the good weather, threshing and drying the rice and then put it into the warehouse, if it rains, you will lose a lot. If the rice is not dried, it will become moldy, and even if it is taken out and sold, it will not be easy to sell.
Erniu continued, "There are not many mills in the village, so we have to take advantage of the fact that everyone is still finished." Try to hurry. Also hurry up threshing, grinding into flour, this weather, there must be a lot of people to harvest, the village on these mills, to this time, have to make a deposit in advance to us, I have already placed a deposit. ”
"He'er takes Chen'er to cook at home. Jun went to the wheat field to guard, and the four of us went down to the field to harvest the wheat together. Then they were sent to the wheat field to dry, and Jun was there waiting for us to deliver the wheat and spread the wheat. Early in the morning, late in the evening, it should take two days, these three acres of wheat land can also be cut, and then we will take off the wheat grains together, should be at this time many people's wheat has not been harvested, and then send it to the mill to grind into flour. ”
Erniu said, "This is a bit of a hurry, but not in a hurry, in case of autumn rain, then this year will be blind, must be done in these days, these days to work hard everyone." ”
Then he turned to Lin He and said, "He'er, I'll take Dabao to the town early in the morning to buy all the dishes to be eaten in the past few days, you tell me what to buy, the three meals must be done in the past few days, and the food will be better, everyone will have a hard time these days." ”
Lin He nodded, this weather is a little hot, a lot of meat or something to buy back, if you buy more, I'm afraid you can't put it, just eat some vegetables and fruits is definitely not good, think about it, let Erniu buy some pig's head meat, pig water, chicken and duck each buy one, buy some meat, ribs, pig's feet These meats, vegetables at home are available, and some ingredients are available at this time, let Dabao write down these things, and buy them back tomorrow.
Lin He thought that a few days of these meats should be enough, and it shouldn't be bad to come back and deal with it by himself. There are still some vegetables in the cellar at home, and I have planted some at home this year, so I guess I don't want to buy them, these are enough.
The next day before dawn, except for Lin He, a few small adults, all the adults got up, Erniu saw that it was still early, and also took Dabao to say that he would go to the field to harvest wheat first, and then go to the town to buy vegetables when it was dawn, and also drove the ox cart to the edge of the field.
Lin He watched everyone get up, she also got up, a big family's breakfast, relying on her to take a morning is afraid that there will be a toss, Chen'er will only burn the fire, everything has to be done by her alone, and her father said that she will not drink porridge in the morning, she will get some vegetables, or she will not have the strength to work in the morning.
Lin Chen's eyes didn't open, he watched his sister get up, and said, "Sister, are you going to get up and cook so early?" ”
Lin He smiled and said, "No, I can't sleep, so I'll get up first, you can sleep for a while, I'll call you later." ”
Chen'er was also sensible, saying that she had woken up, so she got up, thinking that her sister must be too busy to cook alone, when Lin He got up and walked to the yard, everyone in the family had already gone, only Xiaojun stayed in the yard alone, saying that he would wait until breakfast and then go to the wheat field to guard.
Lin He thought that it would be enough to make some pancakes as the staple food in the morning, and it would be too late to make steamed buns in the morning, the pancakes would be simpler, and the dishes would make some kimchi, and there would be some radishes and cabbage to eat in the cellar at home, and there would be some bacon at home, so he would directly stew some radishes and cabbage with bacon, and then get some spicy cabbage made by himself, which should be fine in the morning.
The noon dishes will wait for Erniu to buy them and see what to do. Lin He got the cabbage out, and Lin Chen was busy for a while, washing and chopping vegetables, Xiaojun was on the side to help them light the fire, and finally stewed the vegetables.
Lin He saw that it was almost over, and asked Xiaojun to go to the field to call them back for dinner, and here he took Lin Chen to start the pancakes, and the noodles were reconciled from the beginning, and the pancakes would not be long before they came back, and they should be able to eat when they came back.
Xiaojun went to the field to call Father Qin and the Huang family to eat, Er Niu and Dabao also drove the ox cart back, and bought a lot of vegetables according to Lin He's instructions, and he couldn't go to the town these days, Lin He put aside the vegetables unloaded from the ox cart and waited until the morning to deal with these things.
Lin He asked Erniu and Dabao to take a rest on the side, saying that it was almost time to eat, and had already asked Xiaojun to go to the field to call someone, Lin He and Chen'er were baking cakes in the kitchen, and after a while, the pancakes were ready, Erniu and Dabao saw that Father Qin and Huang's had not come back, so they ate first, and after eating, they had to rush to collect wheat, and this time could not be delayed.
When the two of them were almost finished, Father Qin and Huang came back, and the two of them also finished their meals in a hurry, saying that they had harvested some wheat in the morning, and asked Erniu to get the wheat to dry on the wheat field. (To be continued.) )
