86. The hard work of farming
β¦β¦
Time passed for half a month, and at this time, Xiao Qi, who was wearing a scarf, was pulling weeds in the field with his grandfather and brothers with sharp teeth.
The winter is fine, it belongs to the idle time, but from the beginning of spring, the speed of pulling weeds cannot keep up with the speed of its growth.
There are dozens of acres of land at home, and just pulling weeds is a long-term combat job, and dozens of acres of land can only be pulled out once a month.
It was early midsummer, and the wheat was already very tall, a little taller than the others, and all of them had been tasseled, and the grains looked very full.
In the past few years, her family's real estate has been harvested about one to two percent better than that of other families.
Grandpa said that it was her credit and that she was a lucky star in the family, because since she was born, the grain harvest has been getting better and better, and life has been better than ever.
In fact, what Grandpa said is not bad, the reason why the harvest in the field is better than other people's is indeed related to her.
Since she would leave and she spoke early, occasionally when the family wanted to water the ground, she would make a fuss to her mother to come together, and if she didn't come, she would exercise her child's rights and cry endlessly.
The method is not too clichΓ©, it just works.
This method is a hundred tried and tested, every time she borrowed water, she borrowed when she was playing with water, and unknowingly put the well water in the space into it.
From that year's harvest, it was found that space water did have a certain effect on crops, but she had always been careful and did not dare to do too much.
She only mixes the well water once or twice a year, and the well water seeps into the ground to slowly improve the soil quality, and because of her caution, the food cycle of the family is not much different from that of other households, that is, it matures a few days early.
However, the harvest is obviously better than that of other villagers, but because the Lu family has more land and is low-key, no one in the village has found out about this matter so far.
Xiao Qi looked up and saw that the sun should be hourly now, and they had been working in the field for nearly an hour and a half.
Xiao Qi took her special little hoe in her hand and carefully walked from the wheat field to her grandfather, trying not to knock down a single wheat plant.
"Grandpa, let's go and rest under the tree at the edge of the field, we've been working for an hour and a half, let's go drink some water."
The old man did feel a little thirsty, nodded and walked out of the wheat field with his granddaughter carefully.
Under the tree lay a few ready-made stones, the surface of which had been polished to a very smooth surface, which had been specially moved for rest.
And this guy has sharp eyes, and I saw her and her grandfather coming out of the wheat field from afar, jumping around happily outside the wheat field.
The reason why I didn't come in was because I was afraid of being beaten by her, and the wheat was almost ripe, so I couldn't let it snort.
Excited, it circled around them until it reached the bottom of the tree, and it was time to lie still on the ground.
The old man found a high stone and sat down, and Xiao Qi took out a bowl and a kettle and poured a bowl for Grandpa.
"Grandpa, drink water first." After seeing that Grandpa had finished drinking water, she then handed over a face towel, "Grandpa, wipe the sweat from your face." β
took the towel and wiped it on his face a few times, although the old man was a little tired, he was in a good mood and enjoyed the care of his granddaughter very comfortably.
Grandpa rested, Xiao Qi took out another bowl, poured himself a bowl of water, and drank it gurgling.
Not to mention that the work in the field is so tiring.
Since coming back, I have been bending over and pulling weeds, grandpa and their families have insisted on it for a lifetime, and the hard work of this can not be said with mouths.
The life expectancy of the ancients was generally low, and it had a certain relationship with overwork, coupled with the poor level of medical care, lack of medical treatment, and lack of food and clothing, how could the lives of ordinary people be long?
It's only been more than an hour, and she feels that her legs are a little sore, since she was born to now, when has she squatted for such a long time?
In the past, when the small farmer was busy, he followed his family to the field, but her family didn't let her go to the field at all, and they all played with Jinxiu under the big tree.
Looking at the two elder brothers in the field in the distance who were still there to continue to insist on weeding, Xiao Qi was moved for a moment.
She looked up at the strong sun in the sky, and her brothers had worked hard, so as their dearest sister, it was better to bring them some water.
"Grandpa, you rest for a while, I'll go and bring some water to my brothers." With that, she stood up and walked into the wheat field with a teabowl and teapot, gradually approaching her target.
"Big brother, are you thirsty?" Qingshan, who was hoeing with his heart, was startled by the sudden sound in his ears, and almost missed his feet with a hoe.
Qingshan saw that it was his sister-in-law who put down the hoe in his hand, and flicked his head at the sister-in-law as if he had revenge.
"Why did it come out so silently? My foot is almost gone. Qingshan pretended to be angry and said, just being able to hide the smile in his eyes would be even more intimidating.
Xiao Qi also saw the thrilling scene just now, and felt a little guilty in his heart, so he obediently played her with a brain crash.
"I'm sorry, big brother is my fault." If you know your mistakes, you should have the courage to admit them, Xiao Qi said to the eldest brother seriously.
"Okay, big brother teased you, how could you be angry with Xiao Qi? You're kind enough to bring me water. After finishing it, he glanced at the kettle and tea bowl in the little sister's hand.
Xiao Qi hurriedly took the teapot and poured water into the tea bowl in his hand, handed it to the eldest brother in front of him, and said flatteringly: "Big brother, drink water." β
Qingshan happily took it and raised his head to drink it, then drank a few bowls in a row, touched the little sister's head and smiled, turned around and started to work.
Take advantage of the fact that the sun is not so strong and quickly weed more, or you will not want to do it until noon when the sun is stronger.
Looking at the back of her eldest brother who was working hard, at this moment, she felt for the first time that her eldest brother was so handsome.
Then she walked in the direction of the second brother again, this time not so recklessly, and the shouting was much quieter than before.
Qinghe was concentrating on his work, and he always felt that someone was calling him, so he turned his head and found that it was Xiaomei.
Xiao Qi raised the teapot and tea bowl in his hand and smiled at the second brother.
Qinghe put down the hoe in his hand, came to his sister's side with a smile, and said happily: "It's better for my little sister, I know that the second brother is thirsty, so I hurry up to bring water to the second brother." β
Xiao Qi squinted and smiled, and said arrogantly: "That's it, you are all my brothers-in-law, of course I want to be good to you." β
As he spoke, he didn't stop moving, and quickly poured a bowl of water for the second brother and handed it over.
The second brother was also thirsty, and drank several bowls in a row like the eldest brother, so he wiped his mouth and returned the bowl to her.
"My sister is so nice, it's too hot here, you go to a cool place to rest and play, where is the grass in the field with me and my eldest brother?" As he spoke, Qinghe waved his hand at the girl, turned around, picked up the hoe, and continued to remove the grass in the field.
Seeing that the two brothers are so capable, Xiao Qi feels that she can't pretend to be bad, although she is young, she can't bear her good physical strength and great strength, so let's do more when she comes.
Turning around, he quickly and carefully sent the kettle back under the tree, only to find that Grandpa was gone, needless to say, he must have gone down to the ground again.
looked up, and sure enough, grandpa was in the field next door to his brother, and Xiao Qi stopped bothering and hurriedly returned to his grandfather's field and worked together.
Fortunately, when buying land at home, the distance between your fields was taken into account, otherwise it would have wasted a lot of time just walking back and forth between the two fields.
Xiao Qi, don't look at people with small hands, and his work is no worse than his two elder brothers.
The little hoes fluttered, and after a while, the weeds that had been removed were piled up, and then transported out together when they were too much, so that there was no fear of them resurrecting.
The old man had to take a look at his granddaughter after a while, and he was relieved to find that he was still in good health.
Looking at the little hoe wielded by her granddaughter, the little energy of working hard, the old man who provoked her smiled, this girl is so serious no matter what she does.
This is a good habit, serious can do things well, only serious will there be hope, there will be gains.
