In this rare early rice harvest scene that was more than a month early, Mengfan found that there was basically nothing to do with her, a little girl; Because, everything was arranged by her father.

When the sun was rising, the two brothers Li Mingjie took a large number of subordinates, plus almost all the young people in the village, and took the flat pole, basket, sickle, basket, back basket, and rope to the rice field.

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhou family are the two daughters-in-law of the Zhou family and the two pairs of mother and daughter;

The four long-term workers in the family take turns to pick up the paddy that has been beaten down and put it in the village drying field; Liang's mother and a few elderly people in the village helped her family dry the millet there.

Of course, Mengfan also has something, which was temporarily arranged for her by her father, for example: those small officials in villages and towns came to the house, and her father specially asked people to tell her about the addition of food, probably because she was afraid that the busy meals at home would snub these 'officials', so she added one or two dishes as appropriate-

After that, mint water, herbal tea, send a bucket every half an hour, [Si Shi], Mengfan sent two baskets of small nests with sharp points, if she didn't have this order, at noon her father let the food prepare, I'm afraid it will be the bottom of the pot; [One o'clock at noon] with lunch, in the afternoon, every few moments, let people send drinking water, in the middle of the afternoon [Shen Shi], Han Xiaozhen, who was able to come to help when the number of customers in the noodle shop decreased, together with Fang'er and Xiu'er, brought two small rice balls and mashed eggs to the edge of the field.

I heard them come back and say that tomorrow it is estimated that a lot of grain will be laid, and it will be necessary to dry the mats;

This mat is available in her hometown, but here, I have never seen it, people use coarse cloth or something to spread out on the dry flat slope grass to dry grain; She blinked, and asked Lan Bao'er to find Uncle Liu to say a few words, and then Uncle Liu immediately took people up the hillside with a bamboo forest behind the village, and it didn't take much effort to cut back a pile of bamboo. l

In the middle, is an enlarged bamboo lattice, the same rectangular shape as the mat, but this area is three or four times larger, the two ends of the head and tail are at the end of the place, and two small bamboos are fixed with hemp rope. With the first bed, if you need more, you don't need to say more, anyway, after this thing is made for free by the Li family, if other people in the village need it, they can do it themselves, and they won't do it, so please ask the people in the village who have done it or seen it today to help make a bed for their own use.

At sunset, although the rice laid on this day will not be dried in the sun, but when it is piled up on one side of the yard and stacked with a mat, who is not happy to look at it?

Sixteen acres of land, so many laborers working together to harvest, and there is a supply of good food and drink, this speed, it is not a blow; It was only three days' work, and in this continuous rice field, only the rice piles were neatly arranged in rows; In the middle of the afternoon, all that was left was the finishing touches -- baling straw and stacking golden straw trees from the bottom to the top.

For anyone who needs fresh dried straw to take back to make a bed, Li Mingjie happily agreed, just saying that it can be used at will, and it has also won unanimous praise from the outside world.

The village chief and Li Zheng also put their hands behind their backs with a red face, and looked at the political achievements under their jurisdiction with a smile, and they were the yamen farmers in the town

In front of him, he put his hand in front of him with honor, and he couldn't clench his fists, and he was excited.

In fact, they are not only excited about the small face they have gained because of the bumper harvest in their village in advance, but also the words that the girl of the Li family asked Ling Yaoxuan to give them, next year, if the people in the village are willing, her family's experience this time will unconditionally communicate with other farmers in the village.

As for the grains in her family that others see in their eyes, they are all full of grains, and therefore hope that the rice seeds needed by the farmers in the village next year will be set aside from her house, she doesn't say a word, only that they are all neighbors of the villagers, and it is incumbent on her to help if she needs help! Of course, these words came out of Ling Yaoxuan's mouth, but it did not affect everyone's excitement, because, in the eyes of the villagers, since this Ling Yaoxuan was brought back by Mengfan, he was reused by him, the young lady of the owner, as long as he responded, that was what his young lady meant.

On the bank of the river, more than a dozen golden straw trees, together with the swaying green willows, complement each other, adding a gorgeous scenery to the tranquility of this area.

* Not counting the scorching sun, the first batch of rice was well dried, with a harvest, and a showman, of course, the most important thing is to pay the official grain, Li Mingjie according to the official document issued by the government in this area, but all the cultivators and scholars, handed over the harvest of each mu of fertile land - 15 percent of the 400 catties to pay the first batch of official grain.

In his land this time, the average yield per mu has definitely reached more than 1,000 catties, but he said this matter more vaguely, because he saw obvious jealousy from the envy in the eyes of many people, and even more from some unexplained sudden appearance, in the eyes of strangers who were wandering around this village, he saw a strange and terrifying horror.

So much grain, dried in the sun, filled the rectangular cave cellar in the backyard, in case someone has a bad intention, just rely on his two brothers, if someone comes to snatch it, it will definitely not be able to withstand it, so Li Mingjie felt the joy of an unprecedented harvest, but his heart was also uneasy.

"Master, our family has a total of 23 acres of land, and someone from the government said that all the taxes of the Li Mansion this time are made of rice, so a total of 960 catties of official grain have been handed over, and the whole number has been added, and a total of 1,000 catties have been handed over. Our family's granary is not enough, for the sake of safety, Yaoxuan asked the housekeeper Hu of the villa to agree to put all the grain on hold in the villa for the time being, occupying a whole yard of the family. Ling Yaoxuan stood in front of Li Mingjie and narrated 1510.

For the sake of safety?

Li Mingjie always felt that his housekeeper had thought of everything, which was quite effective, but he still asked: "Does the master of Steward Hu agree?" Will there be a storage fee from our house? He knew that the new owner of the villa he sold had a group of skilled caretakers in the villa, which was much safer than his own house, but he was still worried.

"No!"

Such a categorical answer couldn't make Li Mingjie put down the big stone in his heart, and said for a while that the next bud valley was harvested, and when it was over, he added: "This is what you said, if the owner of the villa comes and says that he wants to give money, don't want to take money from the master, understand?" ”

Ling Yaoxuan raised his eyebrows invisibly: "Understood!" "This talented old man in his family is poor and afraid, and he is used to living a small life in a farmer's house, so let him be a master at once, in his mind, he can't turn a corner all of a sudden, and he is always thinking about the same as the rich man in the countryside, which is understandable!

After Ling Yaoxuan left, Li Mingjie went back to the room alone and lay down for a while, thinking about something, in the courtyard outside, the corn that was pulled out a few days ago, and the grains that were eaten at home were almost finished, and the front one was about to be dried. Look, it's July. In the paddy fields, one by one the fields were brought back from the river, but this day was also unusual, it had not rained for so long, but when his family needed to irrigate the paddy fields again, it suddenly fell in a sparse night, and directly soaked the fields that had been soaked with the picks carried the day before, and stored a watery one.

This matter is very mysterious, but it is not evil, right, because this rain is God's business, and God's temperament, who can figure it out? Whatever he wants, it will be.

Thinking again, Li Mengfan, a girl, bought a total of 23 acres of land in her brother's name, who doesn't say that he gave birth to a good daughter? But he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it.

The bud rice is harvested, and the sweet potato vine in the field also has four long-term workers taking turns to cut it back, slaughtered into small pieces and stacked in the large vat in the backyard, the sweet potatoes under the vine, he went to dig it out and see, it is estimated that this growth is absolutely scary, how much is the yield per mu, he does not dare to count it in front of people during the day, he is afraid that people will remember, not to say that it is not far away that there is an army of the imperial court to resist foreign enemies, although it is safe here, but after all, people are panicked!

Thinking about it, he got up again and asked people to find Ling Yaoxuan, but he didn't go to the hall, so he spoke in his room: "Yaoxuan, you go and talk to Steward Hu, our corn will be taken back and put in their villa for the time being." ”

"Okay, I'll go tell you!" Ling Yaoxuan's eyes narrowed, and he looked very obedient. But I was thinking, you, now you know the benefit of having a wide land? However, the fact that this house is not in your son's name is a good thing for him, the titular butler, for sometimes all the trivial matters are asked, and it is almost annoying to him to be asked.

In the past half a month, his young lady ran into the space as long as she was free, and took the piece of jade that fell from the cold jade stele to the bottom of the waterfall and pondered for a long time.

Finally last night, within the scope of Qingquan Town, with Qingshui Town as the center, dozens of miles, heavy rain fell from the sky!

Lan Bao'er was so tired that she turned back into her original form, and then turned into a small peacock jade carved like a jade carving, which was held in his arms by his little master, day and night.
