Chapter 305: Helping with the work
During this time, the weather is good, of course, this is for drying grain, the sun grain dries quickly, which is called good weather, but the work is very tiring.
The Lin family's rice ears were able to be harvested, and the family discussed it, and the construction started in the afternoon of this day.
Wu said suddenly, "Third child, you go to Chen's house in the afternoon to have a look, the family is busy for a while, I can't take care of it, Chen Ping is not at home this year, I don't know if the grain in the field can be harvested, you go and see, if you need help, go to help for two days, our family has started to fight, there is even a cover, and it doesn't cost so many people." ”
Lin Changyuan nodded, "Then I'll go for a run after dinner, I've really forgotten about this these days." ”
After dinner, everyone went back to the room to sleep for a while, and when they got up, they were about to start work.
Lin Changyuan went out, so this work fell on Lin Changfu's head, Lin Dezheng is also old, and his family is not allowed to work too hard, and Lin Changgui can come out now, but in the end, he still has to recuperate from his injuries, and he is not allowed to do heavy work.
Lin Changfu came to do it, Zijun and Zikang could help him change hands, but Zilong couldn't do it, he was too young to move.
The backyard is quite large, this work can be done directly in the backyard, and there are a few trees that can also shade the sun, so it will not be so sunny.
Spread the ears of rice evenly on the mat, pick up the lid and beat it, and the rice will fall off from it.
When the fight was almost over, Lin Changfu went to hit another bed on the mat, Liu and Xuan took Zijun and them to put away the rice ears on the noodles, and Wu sat under the eaves and took the children to take down a few that didn't take off.
Lin Changyuan came back soon, and brought back two big watermelons, and came directly to the backyard.
Lin Dezheng asked him, "How is the Chen family?" Why did you bring back two watermelons? ”
Lin Changyuan sat down to drink water, and explained that he had to help with the work, "Dad, this watermelon is the neighbor's next door to the in-laws' house, and it can be sold for some silver money in previous years, but it is not easy to sell this year when this happens, there are only two old people in that family, looking hard, I spent money to buy two, and also relieve the children's hunger." ”
When the children heard this, they were very happy, and they had watermelons to eat.
"This trip is really right, the work of the in-laws has not been done, in previous years, two short-term workers will be invited to help, this year there is chaos everywhere, I can't find anyone to help, although there is not much land, but it is also very laborious, and now there are two acres of land confiscated."
Wu said, "Fortunately, I went to ask, they must be embarrassed to come to us for help, but now that the two families are relatives, they should help each other, the third child, tomorrow you and Zijun and his mother will go to help, and by the way, I will also tell them how to use the lid quickly." ”
I sent two even covers to their family before, and I taught it, but it wasn't necessarily, so it was better to help.
It's a good arrangement, one person goes to help the field, and one person does the family, and the Lin family can go to two people, and their own family has so much food to fight.
Besides, it's only two acres of land, so it won't take long.
The next day, Lin Changyuan and the Xuan family went to the Chen family to help, and when they arrived, the Chen family was shocked.
Yesterday, Lin Changyuan only said to take a look, and he didn't say that he wanted to help or anything, and they didn't think about it.
Seeing that they came to help today, I was so grateful that I didn't know what to say, Yang's eyes were red, and he said vigorously, "I shouldn't have bothered you, but the crops in the field really can't be harvested, the two of us are old, and we are slow to work, and we are in a hurry, this time I will be cheeky." ”
Lin Changyuan smiled, "Sister-in-law is polite when she says this, our two families are in-laws, and we should help, otherwise Chen Ping and they will not feel at ease in Fucheng." ”
Mr. Chen said, "Thank you so much this time, thank you so much." ”
Scholars don't like to ask for help, and now that someone has taken the initiative to help, the gratitude in his heart is really indescribable.
The old couple is very good, the little girl in the family is young, and she is afraid that she will not be able to endure hardship, so she will let her do the work at home, and the two of them are doing it in the field.
Lin Changyuan and Xuan's came to really help, Lin Changyuan worked very fast, and the two acres of land were cut in the afternoon.
The grain was taken back to the family, and the old couple was relieved, Mr. Chen said busily, "Thanks to you for teaching us to cut the ears of rice, if we follow the previous method, I will have to work on these five acres of land for seven or eight days." ”
Xuanshi smiled, "It's really fast to do this, but you still have to cut the grain and grass, but the most important thing is to get the grain back." ”
Some of the previous rice ears were already able to be beaten, so Lin Changyuan hurried up and directly gave a bed of drying mats.
This time they really learned, Mr. Chen was wearing a short coat, looking at the side with his hands behind his back, and touching his beard from time to time, which was similar to how he taught on a daily basis.
After Lin Changyuan finished fighting, Mr. Chen hurriedly said, "It turned out that this was the case, we didn't use it last year, and we will know it later." ”
Yang smiled and said, "You look simple, you can't do it if you really do it, let's fight the rest ourselves, just give it a try." ”
Mr. Chen smiled, "Yes, thank you today, I won't trouble you tomorrow, when the farm is busy, everyone has a lot of work to do, and we don't want to go." ”
Lin Changyuan said, "We really won't come tomorrow, bask in a few more suns and then fight, the drier the better, and we will come back to help in a few days." ”
Yang said, "If you want to trouble you again, we can just come by ourselves." ”
Xuanshi said, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, we often do it, these jobs are already used to it, you have little land at home, you don't usually do much, if you are too tired and have back pain, it is uncomfortable." ”
The couple waited until late afternoon before returning home, and then went back to their own house, and seeing that the days were almost over, they went to Chen's house to help with the work.
When he went back this time, the Wu family loaded some things, "Third child, if your work over there ends early, go to the town to send some things to Wanyun, I brought some back from Fucheng before, and I haven't taken care of it, there are some snacks or something, and I will eat and play with Jingqiu Jingyue." ”
Lin Changyuan put the burden on the ox cart, "Okay, let's go." ”
The Yang couple didn't expect them to come again today, and they originally planned to beat the remaining rice ears today, and they had just laid out the house, and when they saw the two of them coming to the door, the couple didn't know what to say.
People are coming, and they can't just let them go back, so I asked them to help again.
Yang was upset, so he secretly went to the next door to buy a few watermelons and came back, preparing to bring them for a while.
