Three months later, the grain people of Daoxiang Valley ushered in their first bumper harvest.

On the field, the golden ears of rice shook in the wind, bent the rice stalks, the breeze blew, turning up layers of golden waves, the joy of the valley people, overflowing with words, the hardship, the joy, only they can understand.

As soon as the day dawned, the whole Daoxiang Valley boiled, carrying water, boiling medicinal food, busy and happy, the children were not restless, and they followed the adults early to join in the fun, all kinds of sounds, forming a wonderful movement.

Today is the first harvest, the men and women of the whole valley, came to the field early, as if to participate in a grand ceremony, Ai Qing raised his right palm, stroked down, excitedly shouted: "Open the sickle!"

Before the shouting stopped, Ai Liang led the valley people, jumped off the ridge, came to the field, brandished a silver sickle, and cut it with a "click".

In fact, it is not easy to cut rice, the rice leaves are as hard as a broom, scraping people's necks, there are the slightest scratches, sweat dripping in, itching is not good.

They tied the cut ears of rice into a bundle and put them on the ridges, waiting for the convoy led by Cai Juan to come and transport them away, Fang Lei and a few men became porters, moved the tied ears of rice to the road, and then loaded them.

These heavy jobs are nothing at all for Fang Lei, who has unique skills, the young men can only carry one at a time, and he is holding one in one hand, relaxed and chic.

Cai Juan took five sisters and drove five carriages, which were specially responsible for transportation, Fang Lei saw that the carriage was approaching, and before he could stop, he put the bundles of rice ears on it, it was really a race against time!

As soon as the carriage stopped, they jumped quickly to the ground to help load the wagon, and once it was full, they immediately climbed up again, shook the whip of the horse with a crisp "horn", and galloped straight to the garrison of the valley guard.

There is a big open space in front of the valley guards, it is Ai Liang three months ago, after sprinkling lime powder on the rice fields with young men, he burned a kiln of lime, mixed with sand and soil to stir into plaster, and then spread it on the open space.

It turned out that Ai Qing also divided the grain people into two batches, one group was responsible for cutting rice, and the other group was responsible for threshing, when Cai Juan and the others brought back the rice ears, they unloaded the rice ears with all hands and feet, and then placed them on the floor layer by layer, and used the oxen to pull the big grinding stones, rolling down the rice, and then the grain people threw away the rice stalks with a fork, and there was only yellow and clear millet left.

The harvest is pleasing to people, because every household can get grain, in order to give full play to the enthusiasm of the valley people, the implementation is to do their best, according to the distribution of work, the average population is divided into sixty percent, the working population is divided into forty percent, they do not have to go to Taohua Town to buy grain in the future, the grain rice bran can be used to feed pigs, feed chickens and ducks, kill two birds with one stone, vegetables are grown by themselves, and the desire to do it themselves and have enough food and clothing is truly realized.

However, the summer harvest is also hard, after the rice is harvested, it is necessary to plow the field and harrow the field, do a good job of summer planting preparations, the time is tight, the task is heavy, and the weather is hot, it is sweaty at every turn, the days are long and the nights are short, you can rest after dark, you can't sleep for three hours, you have to get up to work, tired to death.

A month later, the summer harvest is finally over, and the seedlings have not yet grown to the time when they should be planted, this is the period when the valley people are resting, Fang Lei called Ai Liang, Cai Juan, Wu Shuyun, Cai Zhengming, the two pairs of lovers to the office, and said with a smile: "You have been in love for more than two years, and I am also ready to leave Daoxiang Valley in the near future and re-enter the rivers and lakes, why don't you take advantage of this leisure time, I will officiate the wedding for you, how about it?" ”

The four of them were both moved and happy when they heard that Shaogu was mainly presiding over the marriage ceremony for themselves, Ai Liang and Cai Zhengming agreed 100%, but Cai Juan and Wu Shuyun said shyly: "Let Shaogu master be the master!" ”

"Marriage matters, I don't dare to make decisions for you, it's an arranged marriage, if you both agree 100% and are embarrassed to say it, just nod, this son will do this for you with his own hands, and invite the valley owner and his wife to be a witness!" Fang Lei said seriously.

Such a good thing can't be found even with a lantern! If the young valley lord leaves Daoxiang Valley, and the old valley lord doesn't care about anything, then their lifelong events will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

The two girls quickly nodded and said, "Thank you Shaogu Master for your success!" ”

"Then decide in two days, right? Tomorrow morning, I will go back to the Immortal Medicine Valley, tell my father and mother about this, let them bring Chun Tao and Qiu Ju over, and then go to Peach Blossom Town, inform your relatives, Dongmei and I will be the best man and bridesmaid for you, and invite Sister Xia He, Sister Xiaoci and a group of brothers from the Valley Guard to come over and congratulate you, so that it is enough scenery, enough face, and enough lively, right? Fang Lei said.

When the four of them heard this, they all bowed to Fang Lei, and they were so excited that they burst into tears, if men and women are combined, there really must be a red thread Yue Lao, and he is this person.

The two pairs of lovers not only reaped the fruits of labor, but also reaped love, which is God's special reward for them.

Early the next morning, Fang Lei returned to the valley mansion and told his father and mother the good news. ”

Madame also said happily: "When the time comes, I will also bring Chun Tao and Qiu Ju over, it will be lively!" ”

Fang Lei was overjoyed when he saw that his father and mother agreed with his approach, and said: "Then Lei'er will take Zhang Dabiao's carriage to Taohua Town now, tell their relatives and Dongmei, and get ready, and then Lei'er will tell Zhang Dabiao to pick up your two old men and two girls!" ”

As he spoke, he left the valley mansion and came to the valley guard station, and just as Zhang Dabiao was passing by transporting ore, he shouted loudly from afar: "Young valley master!" When did you enter the valley? Why don't I know at all? ”

"I'm from Inaka Valley, how can you know?" Fang Lei said with a smile.

Zhang Dabiao said: "No wonder I didn't meet it! If you are in a hurry, what urgent thing should you do? ”

When he spoke, he stopped the carriage and let Fang Lei come up, then flicked the horsewhip and continued to gallop forward, Fang Lei sat down and said: "It's urgent, but it's a great thing, the man should get married, the woman should get married, Ai Liang and Cai Zhengming, the two boys, are going to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

Zhang Dabiao said: "This is indeed a good thing! People say that marrying a daughter-in-law is a beautiful thing, giving birth to a baby is a happy event, but it is difficult to eat and wear, these two boys will have to take on family responsibilities in the future! ”

Yes! This is a process that men must go through! ”
