Chapter Seventy-Five: A Good Harvest
Xia Zhi looked at the bundles of rice that were picked up by Grandpa and them, and the smile on his face continued to expand, and the efforts of the past few months were finally not in vain; In addition to the summer solstice, Lao Luotou looked at the full ears of rice and squinted, the four brothers of the Tian family had already been bent over by the heavy picks because they had picked rice in the rice field and the land many times, because the weather was hot, and the whole body was almost soaked with sweat, and it was dried several times, but a few people were also happy all day long, really tired and happy. The women of the Tian family are not idle, the men are busy picking up the rice in the rice field, and the Li family took the three daughters-in-law except the Wang family to pick up the rice ears that fell on the five acres of the Tian family, even the scattered rice grains were not let go, Tian Lichun also drove the geese to the field, so that they could eat the scattered rice grains, anyway, they could not waste it at all.
The people of Tianjia Village watched Tian Laosi and them carry the rice home one by one, and they felt that there were five flavors and miscellaneous tastes. Some old people may also know that the older generation of the Tian family is doing well, but when it comes to Lao Luotou's generation, the Tian family is getting worse and worse day by day, and Tian Laosi's generation is even worse than before, and they are like a transparent person in the village, and everyone's impression is that it is not easy.
But I don't know when the road started, the Tian family like a sudden rise, not to mention wearing gold and silver, from time to time you can see the children of the Tian family go to the Wang butcher's house to sell meat, the baby also has the money to go to the village grocery store to buy snacks, everyone in the winter is wearing new clothes, I heard that the quilt of the Tian family is also new, and then I heard the children of the family said, only to know that the daughter of the Tian family made a lot of money by making a lot of money for the embroidery village in Niangniang Town.
When they heard about it, they also went to get the job, but the deposit of the embroidery village was several taels. They were reluctant to come back in disgrace. There are also those who are willing. But after removing the line money, there are not a few left. After handing in the work once, I quickly asked for the deposit back, and I didn't go to get the work anymore. Everyone was confused, I don't know how the Tian family made a fortune by playing the ropes, and some think that the Tian family is a strong outsider, maybe it is because they sold the things of their ancestors, and they have money to buy things, so everyone didn't dig deeper.
It was only from the beginning of the rice planting in April this year that the village understood. The Tian family is different. Now the yellow, orange and orange rice shows this point, I heard that after this season's harvest, the Tian family will still plant one season, which is not equivalent to harvesting two seasons of grain, there is twice as much grain. Although they don't know how much they can harvest, but how can they harvest more than planting a season, thinking of this, the hearts of the people of Tianjia Village are boiling, for them there is nothing more important than a full stomach and a surplus of food at home. But I haven't been inquiring for so long. How to plant the seedlings in the cold winter when the Tian family was in the cold winter, everyone couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and then thought that since they said that they would wait for the trial planting to be completed, they must tell everyone. If you think about it, you won't deceive the people in the village, so everyone is not in a hurry.
However, the people in the village are afraid that the Tian family will teach the Tian family skills and have a good relationship with the Tian family, and they are very attentive every time they see the Tian family. So these few times on the summer solstice, I always saw the people in the village helping the family to hold it and resist that. Even if Lao Luotou hadn't stopped them, the rice in the rice field would have been picked clean. That still needs the summer solstice daddy to run back and forth so hard.
After this siege and interception, it is dedicated to courtesy, and the Tian family sometimes can't cry or laugh, but fortunately, everyone is still a little measured, otherwise in this case, the first thing that can't stand it must be the summer solstice, after all, the summer solstice, an outsider, doesn't have much affection for Tianjia Village, can't afford to provoke and can't hide, and the run is gone, look at what you are doing.
Here on the summer solstice, because of the people in the village, caused inconvenience to life, some indignant thought that Tian Laosi over there had already picked up five acres of rice from the Tian family to the field, and began to have stone stones to crush the mop, the rice grains off the straw, several people worked overtime and spent two days and three days to finally take off the rice grains. Anyway, I have to work overtime, and the two seasons of rice are about to go to the field, and now the five acres of land of the Tian family have just been soaked in water.
It will take a few days to plow the field and harrow the field, and Tian Laosi will throw the rice grains they have taken off directly on the rice field, anyway, these days, the weather is very sunny, just to dry. Tian Laosi and they started to prepare the land non-stop, after finishing the field, the Tian family began to plant seedlings, seedlings were planted, Tian Laosi and they began to dry the grain again, after cleaning up, they were worried about where to put the grain, the Tian family is small, there is really no place to put it, but it can't always be put outside, the most can't be helped, and Lao Luotou and their house is still a little empty, Lao Luotou and Li discussed, in their house to circle a piece of land, where to store the grain, just because the window is covered, Lee's house was dark and unventilated.
However, this kind of trivial matter has long been told by Tian Laosi that nearly fifteen stone of grain has been harvested this season to be ignored, what can be more joyful than a bumper harvest, the peasant family is looking forward to this time all year round, so the Tian family is immersed in the joy of the harvest, and the harassment of the people of Tianjia Village from time to time is also automatically blocked by the Tian family.
When Xia Zhi heard this number, she was also taken aback, she originally planned to have a very good harvest, if the situation is good, it will be a harvest of about ten stones, but I didn't expect that the harvest of the grain usually planted by the Tian family is about the same, but the summer solstice is still very happy, more is naturally better than less, there is more food at home, and the days are naturally thriving, but there are many landlords in ancient times, who made a fortune by food. Of course, the future development of the Tian family, Xia Zhi is not only quite a landlord, and the more money the better.
Tian Laosi was also taken aback by the number he took out, originally he had been worried that his daughter would not be able to plant anything, or not successful, and when he saw the rice ears later, he thought that it was so good that there was a harvest, but he didn't expect the girl to get this double crop of rice, the harvest of the first season has the usual harvest of their year, and there is still a season, just under the ground, even if there is no harvest of this grain It seems that there is no need to worry. But depending on the situation, this second season can't burn there compared to the first season.
Li and several daughters-in-law did not expect to have so much income, Li promised the summer solstice, and did not expect to be able to collect much more food, but she was open-minded, and she generally agreed to the things mentioned by the child, not to mention the good thing of collecting more food, Li thought that since the granddaughter could come up with this method, it was best to let her give it a try, otherwise the child would always be psychologically worried, and then it would become a new disease, but it would not be good, if it succeeded, it would naturally be a good thing, and if it did not succeed, the child would give up by himself, and he would not worry about it all day long. But she never expected to be so successful, which is the income of previous years.
Uncle Tian is even more open, after listening to Tian Laosi's words, he directly hugged Xia Zhi and kissed him a few times, which made Xia Zhi feel embarrassed, although she wants to sneak attack her father from time to time, but it is a kiss Daddy, you said that you are kissing an old woman in her thirties in your heart, what is it, and you are not afraid of the jealousy of the aunt! The Wang family probably didn't know what Xia Zhi was thinking, and if he did, he might have to kiss Xia Zhi a few times.
Tian Lao Er smirked a few times at Xia Zhi, making Xia Zhi feel very weird, only Tian Laosan was slightly more normal, rubbed Xia Zhi's head, and praised Xia Zhi for doing a good job. Although the little babies of the Tian family have no concept of fifteen stone grain, they also know that this is the food that comes out of the family. To say who is the most calm in the Tian family at this time, it must be Lao Luotou, for the old farmer name of Lao Luotou, he has already estimated the harvest of this season from the fullness of the rice ears, and he has already been excited when he saw the rice ears yellowing, Tian Laosi's words just confirmed his estimates, so after Tian Laosi reported the number, Lao Luotou nodded, and asked a few sons to resist the rice with baskets and baskets.
If you want to say that Lao Luo Tou is also a person who can hold back his words, he has already estimated a rough estimate, but no one said it, he is happy in his heart, and he didn't even say anything about Li. One is that he feels that his estimation may not be accurate, after all, this is the first attempt, and Lao Luotou has no bottom in his heart, and he always feels unreal; The second is that he is afraid to say it, if there are really not so many at that time, won't it make the family sad, so he simply won't say anything, and when the food is harvested, he will naturally know how much the Tao is.
But it's no wonder that the Tian family is so excited, food was very important in ancient times. As for the payment tax, anyway, the government clearly stipulates that half of the grain after the autumn harvest must be handed over, and the Tian family has nothing to say that taxes must be paid, so it will naturally go to the Tian family.
On the first day of harvesting the grain, the summer solstice urged Tian Laosi to go and beat the new rice, and the summer solstice ate a fragrant white rice in the evening. It tastes very fragrant, don't you see that the family is just looking down to eat, this year's summer solstice is to let Ah Niang cook the rice enough, let the blow open the belly to eat, the new rice down is not afraid of no rice at home, in a few months the hundred acres of land can also be harvested, and now the Tian family is not short of food.
Xia Zhi was cooking while looking at Grandpa's smiling faces that were tanned because of their summer labor, and felt that everything she had done was worth it, and the smiling faces of her family were the best reward for her. Well, let's hurry up and eat, I didn't see everyone eating with their bellies open, and if they didn't eat, they would be wiped out by everyone, and she hadn't eaten yet! (To be continued......)
