Chapter 266: Being watched
Then the two went to the field with Dong's five- and three-year-old children.
As for Dong's little girl who was still in swaddling clothes, she was naturally taken care of by the old lady of the Liu family lying on the kang.
The Dong family's uncut rice field has five and a half acres, and Xue Langjing plans to harvest it for her within two days.
In this way, about two acres of seven deniers of land every day, including carrying tools, as well as picking back the millet and having lunch, the time can be said to be quite urgent.
The two agreed that Dong would send it to the field for Xue Langjing to eat at noon, and end it in the late afternoon.
During the busy farming season, most of the laborers of many families will stay in the fields all day, and the women of the family will basically cook lunch and send it to the fields for them.
So it's normal for Xue Langjing and them to be like this.
Compared with the Sun family, the Liu family's rice fields are mostly concentrated together, which also saves Xue Langjing the time of moving tools around.
In fact, it is not surprising that Sun's husband's family is a small household in this Liujia Village, and the fields in his hands were bought by the previous generations from one piece of land to the west.
There are many brothers on the Liu family's side, and the ancestors are here, and the fields are all divided from the hands of the previous generation, which is relatively concentrated, especially when planting the same crop, no one wants to plant a piece of east and west, and try to concentrate on planting rice.
Not only their own family, but also other brothers, many of whom have rice fields next to each other.
For example, when Xue Langjing was harvesting rice, the field of the Liu brothers was next to it, and they were also harvesting.
Perhaps because of the poor relationship between several families, after the arrival of the Sun family, except for the two brothers who were 'honest' and said a few words to her, the others were not anxious at all, and they all did their own thing.
But for these, Xue Langjing naturally doesn't care, she is only responsible for doing the work, and does not participate in other people's housework.
Her work process is the same as yesterday, first cutting all the rice that needs to be harvested today, and then spending the rest of the time threshing.
There are many people working in the rice fields, both men and women.
Generally, women are harvesting rice and men are threshing.
Women have less strength, except for those who have no labor at home, they generally do not participate in threshing, and most of them cut rice stalks.
In terms of cutting rice stalks, there is little need for strength, as long as the hands and feet are sharp, the speed of harvesting is no worse than that of ordinary men, while threshing is time-consuming and laborious.
Therefore, unless the number of women is too small, or they are mixed up in the house, the rice stalks they cut are enough for the men to threh.
This is the case with most of the men and women around me.
Hearing how fast and fast the harvest was for this new female customer, many of them had long wanted to see it, but Tanaka was too busy to spare too much effort to see the excitement.
Now that people are here, they have such an opportunity, of course they want to watch it.
Therefore, when Xue Langjing just went down to the field to cut the rice stalks, many people came to observe.
Look how fast this valley girl cuts so that she can complete three acres in one day.
You know, it's very good that the three of them can complete one acre a day.
It's a good time to take this opportunity to see her techniques, and if they're really useful, you can learn a little from the past.
As a result, after watching it for a long time, I saw nothing but her afterimage of the rice stalk that had fallen to the ground, and I couldn't even see her movements clearly, let alone 'stealing the teacher'.
In the end, he could only be disappointed, or tell himself that this valley guest had no skills, but he was just fast and powerful.
"This speed is too powerful!"
"Cut, what's there?"
"I thought I had any ability, but I just relied on myself to be the one who was able to move faster."
"It's just a woman, and if I'm also a capable person, I'll definitely cut faster than her."
"No, if I am a capable person, how can I be reduced to the point of going to harvest grain for other people's families? Going hunting in the mountains is enough to feed a large family, and we don't know how much to nourish as a family. ”
"Hey, I said, what are you sour, what do you mean but a woman? It's all said, there is no shortage of money in people's homes, they just come out to practice, and we are different, they are the best girls in the sky. ”
"That is, you men, if you can't compare to us, you always make all kinds of funny excuses."
"It's not right for you to say that, is there a family that is not supported by a man, why do we women still have the face to laugh at us and rely on men?"
"Caifeng is a person who understands."
"Hehe, she said that experience is experience? All I know is that she needs to work for us now to earn money. ”
。。。
While watching, many villagers talked about her, some loudly sour, some whispered and discussed, and some people envied and praised.
For these voices, as the person at the center of their topic, Xue Langjing didn't listen to a word at all, and after holding the sickle, she was once again immersed in feeling the strange ability, and she really didn't have the time to pay attention to these voices.
Even if she really has that idle time, she will ignore these brainless doubts and slanderous voices.
It took her less than an hour and a half to cut two acres of seven denier paddies, but you can imagine how fast it is, and people can't cut it all day.
It's no wonder that these people watched the rice stalk fall at a very fast speed where she was, and there were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, and they couldn't compare to her, so they could only say sour things.
When I was working hard, time passed very quickly, and soon it was time for lunch.
Almost every piece of land, as long as there are villagers, the smell of food wafts from it.
The same is true for Xue Langjing's side.
Looking at the pimple soup in her hand, this Dong family is really as she thought, he is not a good cook, and his actions in eating are not as generous as Sun's.
But she also understood in her heart that after all, the two families had different family backgrounds, and she couldn't say how the Dong family was, and when the food was insufficient, of course the people had to live carefully.
Fortunately, although her appetite has been raised, she is not so picky, and her stomach is really hungry, so if she is really allowed to eat bran vegetables, she can probably eat it.
At the same time, I am also glad in my heart, fortunately, I can eat a little better for breakfast, and I can eat coarse tea and light rice, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to eat better.
Although the food is not very delicious, it can also be seen that this Dong family is not a stingy person, so he served a bowl himself, a smaller bowl for his son and daughter, and the rest was left for Xue Langjing.
Looking at the pimple soup in the bowls of the two children, Xue Langjing couldn't help frowning slightly, but then shook her head helplessly, this is someone else's family matter, she naturally can't be managed by an outsider, but she just sighed in her heart.
