At the end of a busy day, Su Xiaoxiao was very tired, but she was also full and happy, until she came back from work in the evening, and found that there was a very serious problem - she didn't see anyone with a threshing machine in the field. (It is the kind made of wood in the countryside before, a boxy box made of wood, there is a round hinge in front, which is fixed on the hinge with a small half-arc bent by wire, and the hinge has a wooden board that stretches out to move, and you can turn the hinge to help threshing by stepping on it, I don't know if you readers have seen it, you should have seen it if you have lived in the southern countryside, as early as more than ten years ago, it was a very common agricultural tool)

"Dad, how do you take off the grains when the grain is cut?" Su Xiaoxiao secretly thought in her heart, should she take it off little by little with her hands.

"It's all cut and picked up, and I went to the threshing floor and threw it off." Su Chaonan said it easily, but Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

"Throw off, throw it off?" It can't be what she thinks. "Then where is the threshing floor in our village?"

Su Chaonan paused, looked back at Su Xiaoxiao, who was frowning, and wondered what was wrong with her.

"You want to see it?" Su Dahu stepped forward and looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at Su Dahu, she had never seen a grain dump before.

Su Dahu nodded to indicate that he understood, looked back at Su Chaonan and the others and said, "You guys go home first, I'll take Xiaoxiao to the barn." ”

When passing by the barnyard, Su Xiaoru saw a more shocking scene.

I saw that many people in the barning field were holding paddy in their hands and throwing their arms to the slender bench in front of them, and when they shook it, they saw that a handful of rice in his hand would fall off a lot of grains. Then, pick up, shake again, pick up, shake again until all the grains are off, then pick up another handful, and repeat the same action.

"Big brother, is our family going to throw the millet out like this?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't imagine that the ancients had always used such a primitive method to make millet?

Su Dahu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was very shocked, touched her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you dump it." He thought that Su Xiaoxiao was scared, and it was also the first time he threw it with his father, but for a long time, he couldn't lift his hand. It's good that Su Xiaoxiao can help cut the grain together, do you want her to shake it? looked at her little arms and legs, so forget it.

Su Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth and couldn't speak, just like that, with primitive movements, she had to throw out all the rice at home, and she had to be half tired to death. But I saw the people throwing the millet in full swing on the grain drying field, all of them were serious and focused on shaking their hands, and their ancestors have been passed down like this for generations, who would think that it is abnormal to throw it like this?

"How much land do we have?"

"There are only ten acres of land." As he spoke, Su Dahu looked angry.

"Ten acres?" Su Xiaoxiao was full of doubts, it should be more than that, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not so small that there are only ten acres of land in history, not to mention that there are three men in their family, so there should be more land.

As soon as she looked up and saw the anger on Su Dahu's face, Su Xiaoxiao knew that there were other problems she didn't know about.

"So? I remember when we separated, we didn't have so many families, right? "When the family was divided, the original owner was too young, and I only vaguely remember that there seemed to be thirty or forty acres, but now?

"The third uncle and the fourth uncle's family have changed some and left." Su Dahu, who thought of something, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Which two again? Su Xiaoxiao sneered, thinking to herself whether to find a way to get their land back.

"Big brother, let's go home." After saying that, she turned around and left, as if she really just came to see the barnyard.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's back, I don't know this, Su Dahu feels that this year's millet of their family may not be threshed by throwing it by hand.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao did not go to the field with everyone to cut the grain. Su Chaonan thought that she was tired at the end of the day yesterday, and Yang Cuicui felt sorry for her daughter and was very happy that Su Xiaoxiao didn't go to the ground, only Su Dahu looked at her more, but she didn't say anything.

"Xiaohu, is there a carpenter in our village?" Su Xiaoxiao, who had put away the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Su Xiaohu who was teasing the little tiger on the side.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang at the head of the village is." Su Xiaohu continued to tease the little tiger, but unfortunately he ignored him no matter how he teased it, and suddenly felt bored. got up and turned his head to look at Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "Second sister, why are you asking this?" ”

"Of course I'm looking for him." Su Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously, and stretched out his hand to hook Su Xiaohu's neck. "You take me to Uncle Zhang."

"Second sister, if you let go, let go, I'm about to be strangled to death by you." Su Xiaohu patted the hand that hooked his neck.

"Cut!" Su Xiaoxiao let go of her hand and said, "Don't you think it's tiring and slow to shake the grain with your hands?" ”

"No!"

Su Xiaohu's answer made Su Xiaoxiao speechless for a while, but when he thought about it, he had done this before, and they were all used to it, so he didn't feel tired.

"Then do you want to do it, what did Lord Yama teach me last night?" Su Xiaoxiao smiled like a little fox.

"Grandpa Hades taught you something again?" Su Xiaohu's face was full of doubts, how could Lord Yan teach the second sister everything.

"Of course, you don't look at who I am." Su Xiaoxiao was full of pride, so that she knew in her heart that there was no so-called Lord Yama at all.

"Does it have anything to do with the grain?" He remembered that the second sister seemed to be saying that throwing millet was tiring and slow.

"Let's go, take me to Uncle Zhang's house and you'll find out soon." As he spoke, he put his arm around Su Xiaohu's shoulders and went out. When he was about to go out, he glanced back at Su Xiaomei, who was having fun with the little white rabbit, and said, "Xiaomei, I'll go out with your second brother, you have to be obedient at home, you know?" ”

Su Xiaomei looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, who was hugging Su Xiaohu's shoulder, and half of his body was almost pressed against him, and Su Xiaohu still looked like he was grinning and didn't dare to say anything, and said with a smile: "Second sister, you pressed the second brother." ”

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and glanced at Su Xiaohu, rolled her eyes to the sky, but also let go of the oppression on him.

Step, turn, walk, and...

"You go back for me." Su Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at the little tiger who followed out of the door, and stared at the big cat following it.

The big cat glanced up at Su Xiaoxiao, turned his head away from her. It didn't come out with her, he was going to watch his son.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted and didn't care, kicked the little tiger and said, "What about you, go back and take care of your mother, don't let her come out and be scary." "Isn't it? Look at the people around you from afar, and see that the big tiger is far away.

The little tiger glanced back at the big cat, and said "whoop" at it twice, seeing that the big cat was looking at it or not moving at it, and was about to open his mouth "whoop", Su Xiaoxiao spoke.

"I said kitten, that's your mother, can't you be respectful?" Glancing at the big cat with its ears pricked up, Su Xiao smiled silently, "Okay, good job, you and your mother take good care of the house at home, and I'll make you something to eat when you come back, how about it?" I don't feel at ease when Xiaomei is the only one in the family. ”

The little tiger looked back at Su Xiaomei, who was playing with the little white rabbit in the yard, and then looked at the big tiger beside him, tilted his head and thought about it, although he didn't know what it meant, he still obediently turned around and went home. It's just that I'm complaining about the big tiger in my heart, why doesn't its little owner get close to it after it comes, and doesn't play with it anymore, so complaining, I didn't pay attention to the big tiger all day.
