Chapter 36: Farming (3)
"Dad, I've flipped it!"
Zhuang Zijie strode into the room.
It's still cool in the house.
I poured myself a cup of herbal tea, sat down on a chair, and drank it.
"Hmm, that's comfortable!"
Zhuang Zijie squinted in enjoyment.
Father Zhuang sat aside and ignored his son, as if he was thinking about something.
"Dad, my son will go take a cold shower first, if you want to eat, you will eat first, and I will eat later!"
"It's uncomfortably tight this day!"
Zhuang Zijie smelled the smell of sweat on his body!
Accept incompetence.
"Go ahead!"
Father Zhuang knew that this son loved cleanliness very much, and he must have endured it after sweating in the field all morning!
But how can this farmer not sweat when he is doing farm work in the field!
Looking at his fair-skinned son, thinking about this farm work, this complexion should change color!
For his son to look like a little white face, it is a little unacceptable for a man who is now a farmer.
Well, to put it bluntly, it's just a little jealous!
Looking at the face that is more delicate than his daughters, to be honest, he doesn't know who his son inherited?
Father Zhuang shook his head helplessly!
"Xianggong, it's time to eat!"
"I heard you!"
"I'll be right here!"
Su Huiniang's mother and daughter brought all the prepared meals to the table, and the dishes and chopsticks were all set, as long as they sat down to eat.
Su Huiniang drove her daughters to eat, cleaned up the kitchen by herself, boiled some hot water in the pot, and then came back to the table to eat.
Look at the children sitting together!
Only I don't see my second son Zhuang Zijie, it's a little strange, where did the people go when they were eating?
So he asked while eating.
"Where's Zijie? Where did you go, why didn't you eat? ”
"Mother, I know this!" Zhuang Yunwei said.
"I just saw that the second brother took a change of clothes and a bucket of water to take a shower!"
Su Huiniang stopped her daughter's words, and paused for a moment in the action of eating.
"Well, then leave him alone, let him continue to wash!"
Speaking of this second son, she is also clear about his love of cleanliness, and she doesn't know who he looks like, and the children in the family are not like him!
He took that bath, if he didn't have half an hour, he wouldn't be able to get out!
It wasn't until everyone was finished eating, and he came out of the clean room, his hair wet and dirty.
He wiped all the water from his hair with a dry bath towel until no water was sliding down his hair, and then he took another dry one and wrapped his hair.
After making it ready, I walked to the table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to eat.
Today may be tired and ruthless, he ate three large bowls of food before stopping.
"I'm done!"
Looking at the sisters who were waiting to clean up, they put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked under the eaves, sat down on the chairs, removed the headscarf, and draped the smooth hair over their shoulders and let it dry naturally.
"Second brother! Are you sitting here drying your hair? ”
Zhuang Zihao came out of his room and saw a gentleman-like beautiful second brother, leaning back on a chair and resting with his eyes closed.
"Well, Zihao, is there something wrong?"
"If it's okay, just play by yourself!"
Zhuang Zijie closed his good-looking eyes and said.
"Something, something!"
Zhuang Zihao looked at the second brother who closed his eyes and recuperated, and hurriedly said.
"Say!"
Zhuang Zijie moved his lips.
"That, second brother, when you go to the town to buy a shop, can you take me with you too?"
Zhuang Zihao sat on a chair next to the second brother, staring at the second brother with his eyes closed.
"Yes, as long as my father and mother agree, what's the matter with me!"
Zhuang Zijie said without pressure.
"Then you agreed, then when you go, tell me in advance!"
Zhuang Zihao called out happily.
As for what the second brother said to get his father and mother to agree, he didn't hear it.
Because going to town to get his father and mother to agree, it's really too easy!
Because he is not a girl, nor is he a person who goes to town, and he is still brought by his second brother, how can his father and mother disagree?
If it weren't for the fact that he was too young, but a few years older, then his father and mother would definitely be able to let him go to town alone, or beyond!
Instead, he will worry about those who do him badly!
For his force value, his father and mother still trust him very much.
Otherwise, he can't be allowed to stay in the back mountain!
"Hmm!"
"Is there anything else?"
Zhuang Zijie enjoyed the breeze and was a little drowsy!
If it weren't for the fact that his hair was still wet, he would have wanted to get up and go back to his room for a nap!
The rest of the family also packed up and went back to the room, even the third sister who went to bring lunch to Dr. Hu came back.
"It's gone, second brother, I won't disturb your rest!"
"I'm going back to the house to take a nap, and I'll go back to work in the afternoon!"
Zhuang Zihao shook his head, got up, and turned around to go back to the house.
At noon, the sun was at its strongest, and the people in the village did not dare to work under such a strong sun.
Otherwise, if a person accidentally gets a heat stroke, it will not only cost money, but also delay work.
So at noon, no one in the village goes to the fields to harvest the crops.
At most, the wheat is threshed at home, and then it's time for a lunch break!
Originally, he should have stood at this time to thresh the wheat, but his father saw that they had worked too hard this morning.
At noon, he wanted us to have a good rest, and the threshing of the wheat will have to wait for the afternoon!
“……”
…………
"Smack! Da! ”
"Smack! Da! Syllable! Da! ”
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, after the men of the dealer had a lunch break, they all hurried to thresh the ears of wheat in the yard.
With a special tool for beating the wheat, he beat it back and forth on the wheat pile.
The father and son are all hurrying to threshing, although with the height of Zhuang Zi'an and Zhuang Zihao, doing that action looks a little funny!
But that doesn't work, doesn't it!
Su Huiniang led her daughters, picked up the beaten wheat from the men in the family, shook it back and forth a few times, and carried the wheat stalks from the side to the side of the open space and stacked them low!
These straws still need to be beaten again, because after the first beating, there will be some strong ones left on the straws, which requires us to sift them one at a time.
As the old saying goes, men and women don't get tired of working together!
!!!?
Well, it's all fake!
Not tired, that's impossible to drop!
It's just a spiritual comfort!
After Su Huiniang and the wheat stalks were transferred to the other side, Father Zhuang would take his sons there to continue sifting again.
And Su Huiniang took her daughters to use a clean broom to gather the wheat grains that were scattered everywhere and exposed them to the sun.
After the son's father-in-law had finished the other one, they would pick up the straw again and shake it a few times, shaking the remaining wheat grains to the ground.
Then tie up all the straws and put them in the wood house.
This straw can be used as feed for pigs.
It's okay to be a cow or a sheep, but it's not that his family doesn't raise it!
So you can only grind it to feed the pigs, and when the firewood is burned!
However, this wheat stalk cannot be burned, and at most it is wood and dry branches.
