Chapter 110: The Wheat Harvest Is Complete
ps: Thank you for the reward of Jiexi children's shoes, the four-leaf lotus will redouble its efforts......
After a few days of hard work, Lin He's family finally completed the whole process of harvesting wheat, in addition to the rent handed over to the landlord's family, there were only more than 300 catties of wheat left in their own house, which was ground into flour and came out with almost two or three hundred catties of flour.
Two or three hundred catties of flour can only be packed in three bags in the big sack bag at this time, and it is not very full. This is the harvest of the family in one year, Lin He knows that at this time in the past, only a small part of the white flour will be left at home to eat, and the rest will be replaced with coarse grains, so that you can eat a little more every day and eat longer.
Lin He said in his heart, I still want to make more money, buy more fields at home, no wonder everyone says that the landlord is good, how can this be bad, there are thousands of acres of fertile land at home, I am afraid that this income alone in the family is not good for a year.
However, Erniu was very happy, saying that this season's wheat harvest was over, and he had already told the summer landlord when he went to pay the rent yesterday, and he would no longer rent the field next year, and he had eight acres of land at home. Besides, if the farming method that He'er said is effective, it can increase the yield somewhat, and next year you will be able to earn a lot of money just from farming.
Huang was also very excited, and said that if he also planted some sesame peanuts in his sand fields, he could sell them for some money at that time. It's also good to stay at home to eat, anyway, He'er often tinkers with food and has to go out to buy these grains, and you can do it at any time at home.
Lin He looked at his father and felt funny. Even if it is 2,400 catties of wheat, it is almost 2,000 catties when ground into flour, and it is only 300 taels when converted into silver, what is there to be so happy about, 30 taels is only, and it is more than this money to send goods to the town, and my father and mother have never been so excited.
Although in the end it is all money to make. But the concepts in Erniu's and Huang's hearts are different. One is that farming at this time is originally better than the reputation of going out to do business, and the second is that Erniu and Huang have planted fields for a lifetime and paid land rent for a lifetime. Every year, I used to give most of the food I got to others, and after this stubble, I was finally able to own all the food at home, which was of course an unprecedented happiness. There is also the fact that they feel that the things Lin He makes are always a little strange, and maybe they won't be able to make money one day. I feel that my family still has to rely on farming to have a good life. It is very difficult to change people's minds at this time.
Lin He felt that he could understand their thoughts, just like in his previous life, his monthly salary was about 3,000, and he kept it like this, and suddenly the boss said that she did a good job, and she would be very happy if she would increase her salary by 10% every month in the future, but in fact, 10% was only 300 yuan. I actually think that the 300 yuan is happier than when I took the 3,000 yuan, I believe this is the same reason. It's not because of the money, it's because of the different moods.
The family can finally relax, Dabao will stay at home for two more days and will go back to the town, so Huang asked Lin He to make something at home for Dabao to bring to the town to eat, saying that these things can be put in tamales, bring some tamales to eat, and you can eat steamed buns at night.
Erniu and the Huang family discussed, saying that there are more people in his family this year, and there are fewer fields, this matter will be done soon, is it to go to Huang's mother's house to help for a few days, Huang thought for a while and said: "No need, my mother's family has a lot of people, there are a lot of laborers, and there are not many fields in my own family, I'm afraid that the family is also doing almost the same, and your mother's side has not planted wheat this year, or we will go to the third brother and sister's house to help for a few days, she does things alone, I don't know how long it will take." ”
Erniu nodded, it is true, Zhou's family does it alone in Zhou's family, and the family also planted a few acres of wheat, I am afraid that I don't know when to do it, I will go to help for a few days, and finish it quickly, in case the sky changes, the wheat in Zhou's family will be in trouble.
Zhou's family really needs help, she gets up early and cuts wheat in the field every day, cuts for several days, has not finished harvesting an acre, and she has to send wheat to the wheat field, in the morning, at noon and come back to cook, at night worried that the two children are alone at home, but also to go back early, there is not much time to do things in a day, so even the wheat has not been cut.
Xiaoshan is also sensible at home, and he takes his sister at home every day, but after all, he is only five years old, and he can't do anything else except take care of his sister. Last time, although his father-in-law and mother-in-law said that they were too busy at home to send the child over there, Zhou felt that her mother-in-law was just saying that, or she would not have known that she was busy at home, but she didn't come over to ask.
Zhou let Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun forget it at home, and didn't want to go to her mother-in-law to ask her to help, so she just worked harder.
After breakfast the next day, when Huang and Erniu were at home and were about to help Zhou, Father Qin also said that he wanted to go with them to help Zhou, but Huang asked him not to go, saying that Dabao was at home these days, and He'er had to do some food, maybe he would use an ox cart, let Father Qin be at home, and if he wanted to use an ox cart, he would also have to be driven by someone.
It would be much faster for the Zhou family to have their own two people to help, and Father Qin felt that it was the same, so he didn't insist on going. Huang and Erniu also told Lin He to cook the Zhou family's meal at noon, and let Dabao send it to the Zhou family's field at noon.
Lin He thought that Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun must have been at home by himself in the past two days, and his home had been busy in the dark for the past two days, and he forgot about it, now his house is empty, bring Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun to his courtyard, there are many children, and there are not two of them, and Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun must not have a place to eat at noon, so he and Chen'er went to call Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun over to take them together.
When Lin He arrived in the courtyard of Zhou's house, he saw Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun playing in the yard, and when he saw them coming in, he immediately stood up and called his sister, it was already past the time for breakfast at this time, presumably Zhou was rushing to harvest the wheat and did not come back on time to cook, so the two children were still hungry.
Lin He hurriedly said to Xiaoshan and Xiaoyun: "Xiaoshan, you take your sister to me, and my sister will make breakfast for you, it's all this time, your mother must be busy and forget the time." ”
Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "That mother didn't have breakfast, and when my mother came back, she couldn't see that we would look for it everywhere." ”
Lin He smiled and said: "Silly child, I will make breakfast for your mother, and let Brother Dabao send it to the field for her to eat later, and tell her that you are at my house, and your mother will definitely not look for it." ”
Xiaoshan nodded, and immediately closed the door of the house, and locked the door of the yard when he went out. followed Lin He and they went to Lin He's house. (To be continued.) )
