Chapter 256: The Harvest Season (1)

But such a quiet day is also very good, and Li Xin can also do needlework well. She has been busy, and she has not been able to do needlework for many days, and she has little energy to study the manuscript that Mr. Yu gave her.

Yuexiang and Yueting, two female celebrities who have studied with Mama Zhong for a while, are also decent when they start needlework, not to mention how good they are, but they can see it.

Li Xin is still very pleased with this. Although the two children could not go to the academy, she still taught them to write whenever she had time, and they now know a lot of words. Yueting is more playful, and she remembers a little less words, but it is Yuexiang, and now there is no problem in writing simple letters.

My younger siblings are improving, which is a good thing.

A few days later, news also came from Zhuangzi's side, saying that the rice was going to be harvested, and asked Li Xin if he wanted to go over. Since Yin Liuchen wants to take a look, Li Xin naturally wants to go and see the rice harvest this year.

However, this time she didn't plan to bring Yuexiang and Yueting. Now that Sister-in-law Wu has gone to the house in Osmanthus Village, there is everyone in the family who cooks, and there is no one to take care of Wenbo. Yuexiang can cook, Yueting can also help out, and it's okay to cook for Wenbo.

Li Xin asked Caiyun to stay, although the housework is not very good, but compared to Yuexiang and Yueting, they are older, and it is better to help take care of the children at home.

When Li Xin decided, Yueting hugged Li Xin and said coquettishly: "Sister, are you really not going to take me with you?" As he spoke, he pouted, looking very aggrieved.

Li Xin hugged Yueting in his arms and spoke to her softly. "If it was me before, I would naturally want to take you and your second sister with me, but now there is no one in the house. If you also leave, won't your eldest brother and second brother even have a hot meal when they come back from school? The eldest sister is going to go and will be back soon. ”

"Alright! The eldest sister should come back sooner. Yue Ting smiled.

Li Xin looked at Caiyun again, "Caiyun, Yuexiang and Yueting will be taken care of by you." ”

"Miss, don't worry! The slave will definitely take good care of Miss Yuexiang and Miss Yueting. Caiyun nodded, and promised very solemnly.

"Although I said that you should cook at home, don't be too tired, if you don't want to cook, go to Pinxiang Pavilion to buy some food."

After a good explanation, Li Xin asked Zhu Yong to inform Yin Liuchen that he would go to Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning, so that he could come to the door of the house earlier.

When Wenbo came back from school, Li Xin gave another good explanation. Although she has left home more often, Wenbo and they should be able to take good care of themselves at home, but every time she leaves, she is always a little uneasy. It's not that I don't believe that a few children can take care of themselves, but there is always a little bit of anxiety in my heart.

She was more relieved to have Wu's sister-in-law at home before, at least there was an adult in the family.

"Eldest sister, don't worry! Isn't it just a trip, and I'll be back soon, so don't worry about it. Wenbo comforted Li Xin in turn.

Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head and patted Wen Bo's shoulder, "You are all good boys, I naturally rest assured of you, that is, to explain a few words in vain." You also watch, although I asked Yuexiang and them to cook, but if they are too tired, you will go to the Pinxiang Pavilion to eat, you know? ”

"We remember." The two children responded in unison.

The next day, Li Xin got up early in the morning to make breakfast. When she was about to make breakfast, Wenbo and the others all got up and washed themselves. The children are very well-behaved, and they can take care of their own affairs, even the youngest Yueting didn't let Li Xin worry too much. You can get up and get dressed, rinse your mouth, wash your face, and do it yourself.

That is, the laundry clothes, which are young and have little energy on their hands, but they are not very clean.

I'm about to set up breakfast! Yin Liuchen also arrived with two guards. Li Xin also let them come in to have breakfast together, at this time, Sister-in-law Wu should have just made breakfast! Yin Liuchen and the others came, and they must have had breakfast yet.

A group of people also sat around and had breakfast lively. After breakfast, Wenbo and the others were about to go out to the academy. Several children greeted Yin Liuchen, waved to Sister Li Xin, and went out.

After Wenbo and the others left, Li Xin finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to go to Lao Zhuangzi with Yin Liuchen.

"Dust boy, let's go!" Li Xin came out of the kitchen, sat down for a while, and then stood up.

"Okay!" Yin Liuchen doesn't have any opinions, and he is as good as a stream.

The two of them also walked outside, Zhu Yong had already set up the carriage and waited, and Yin Liuchen naturally had his own carriage. Yuexiang, Yueting, and Caiyun also sent them to the door.

"Go back, all of you! Take good care of yourself. Li Xin waved at the three of them and got into the carriage.

"Goodbye, big sister." Yue Ting smiled and waved at Li Xin.

"Goodbye." After Li Xin finished speaking, he lowered the curtain.

The carriage "...... the wheel" moved, and Yin Liuchen's carriage followed behind, all the way in the direction of Lao Zhuangzi.

It didn't take too long to get to the old Zhuangzi, Yin Liuchen was here for the first time, but he was a little more curious, and he looked around when he entered the Zhuangzi. After entering Zhuangzi, Li Xin was not busy going to the house, but got out of the carriage and watched Yin Liuchen all the way, if Yin Liuchen didn't understand the crops, she would introduce them.

The large area where the rice was planted is now golden and looks very beautiful. The golden ears of rice really make people see the colors of autumn, and this color is the color that should be in the harvest season! In fact, whether it is rice or wheat, when it is ripe, it is golden. And the crops planted in the world are naturally these two most, and naturally everyone thinks that the harvest season should be golden.

Also, in late autumn, when the trees wither and the yellow leaves fly everywhere, it is also overwhelmingly yellow.

However, it is not easy to see the scene of "boundless falling trees and falling trees" in the south, the trees are numerous, some of them fall in autumn, however, there are many trees that do not fall in autumn. There are also trees that grow while shedding leaves, and even if they have a lot of leaves, they don't make the trees look naked.

Take pine trees, for example! When the season comes, there are still a lot of pine needles that have fallen, and a large layer can be thickly spread in the place, but there are still green pine needles on the trees.

"These rice plants are growing very well." Yin Liuchen sighed, "Why hasn't anyone come to harvest yet?" ”

"There is dew in the early morning, and we must wait for the sun to rise and the dew disperse before we start harvesting, otherwise the moisture on the beaten rice will be difficult to store." Li Xin smiled and explained to Yin Liuchen. When the rice is harvested, there is not necessarily a place to dry it, and sometimes when the weather is cloudy, the sun is not very dry.

If there is not much water on the harvested rice, even if it cannot be dried on the day, it can be left for a while. If the moisture is relatively large, a large pile of it will be covered, and the rice will be easy to germinate as soon as it is heated. So in general, when the dew is heavy, when it rains, there are not many people who harvest rice. However, there are exceptions, and the time to harvest rice is generally rainy, and sometimes it has to be harvested when it is ripe.

Especially at the water's edge, I am afraid that the grain will be flooded after the high tide and there will be no harvest, so sometimes it is necessary to harvest it when it rains.

After turning around the Zhuangzi, Li Xin took Yin Liuchen to the house. Since everyone is not going to harvest rice yet, there is no need to wait in the field so early, it is better to go to the house to rest. Besides, Yin Liuchen didn't want to observe how people harvest rice, he just wanted to know the yield per mu of the family planted.

When they arrived at the house, Li Xin said to Yin Liuchen: "It's still early, let's rest in the house now!" ”

"This is Miss Xinyao's place, so naturally Miss Xinyao will arrange it."

didn't rest long on the side of the house, and Meng Liu came over with his daughter-in-law. Now that Meng Liu is already the steward of this Zhuangzi, when he saw Li Xin coming, he naturally wanted to come over and ask if there was anything wrong. Li Xin also has a little understanding of Meng Liu's husband and wife, both husband and wife are a little wooden, but fortunately, they are quite diligent in their work, and Meng Liu is also a good crop.

Meng Liu and Wang Fu's temperament is a bit similar, but Meng Liu's daughter-in-law Liu is not as cheerful and hearty as Wang's sister-in-law.

"The eldest lady is here, how can you ...... Don't let us come and serve? Liu smiled and spoke, but he stammered a little and looked very nervous. The two hands were also entangled, clenched tightly.

"Sit down and talk! Don't be nervous, I'm just here to see the rice harvest. I'm not a tiger either! You don't have to be so afraid of me. Li Xin smiled slightly, and his words were very sincere. She didn't expect them to be so nervous when they saw her, it wasn't like they hadn't met before, and it didn't seem to be like this!

I don't know if I've been promoted to steward, but I'm even more nervous when I see her.

Although the two sat down, they still looked restless. Seeing them like this, Li Xin didn't want to say anything more, and simply said a few words, that is, let them take a good harvest this time, and if there were not enough people, they could hire a few from outside to help. Soon they were sent out.

I don't know if they are always nervous when facing other people, if they are always like this, I am afraid that they will not be able to manage Zhuangzi! But we have to look again, if it works, they will continue to do it, if not, they will have to change people. R1152
