Chapter 82: A Guest at Home
In the summer, as soon as the things are put on the ridges, they start to work, and one person takes a sickle and cuts a row vertically.
Cut the rice from the roots, so that you don't have to do it again, and after cutting it, you put it behind you, and when you finish the row, the men of the family will start to carry the rice home.
The rice should be dried in the sun while the sun is blowing, and when it is dry, it will be knocked on a wooden plank so that the grain will fall.
Siqi looked at the adults and felt quite simple, but after he got started, he realized that it was not the case at all.
This rice plant can hold one by one, and the sickle is not very fast, if you don't have some strength in your hands, you can really keep cutting.
If you use the wrong force, it is easy to cut your hand.
Siqi cut it several times before cutting off a plant, and when she looked up, she saw that the Xuan clan who was next to her just now had already cut a large section.
Looking at the other side, Zijun Zikang also cut a lot, and Mengshan Mengzhu was less, but she also went in front of her.
She and Menghuan Zijie are the slowest, no way, young age.
Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you little ones, just take your time, don't expect you to do much, be careful, don't cut your hands." ”
After a morning of work, less than two acres of land were cut, and if it was cut all the time, the key was to take it home, which would be time-consuming.
Siqi has been working hard this morning, and the more he does it, the more he feels that he should not waste food, and this work is too tiring.
Usually she feels quite tired when she goes up and down the hill to pull herbs, but now I know that it is nothing at all.
It was almost noon, and Wu asked Liu and Xuan to go home to cook, and asked Siqi and their children to go back as well.
It's okay to work in the field in the morning, the sun is not too big, and I feel quite comfortable.
At this time, the sun is already up, and the sun is so hot that people can't open their eyes, and the sun will be even bigger in the afternoon.
Siqi looked at the sun and felt that he didn't want to go out, but he couldn't do it, he had to do it, if the crops were so lazy, what would he eat all year round?
At noon, Siqi ate very fragrantly, and she still wanted to eat two big bowls, if it wasn't for the uncomfortable support, she really wanted to serve the meal again.
After eating and sleeping, I fell asleep with my pillow on my head, and I felt that I had only slept for a while, and it was time to go to work in the fields.
After two days of doing this, the rice in the field was cut, and at this time, other families in the village also began to cut one after another, and the road was densely packed with drying mats, which had to be dried before they could be beaten.
The rice has to be cut once when it is cut back from the ground, otherwise it will not be able to dry it at all, and it is much easier to dry only the ears of rice.
All the rice in the field was cut back, and it was piled up in the yard, and the backyard was also very much.
Wu said, "The big plate field can also be cut, so don't follow the children to the field in the past two days, and cut the ears of rice at home, otherwise they won't be able to let it go when the time comes." ”
Siqi thought for a while and said, "Grandma, why don't you go directly to the field to cut the ears of rice, so that it can be lighter to carry it home, and it is easy to put the straw again, otherwise the family can't put it at all." ”
She has always been very curious, why people at this time don't cut the ears of rice directly in the rice field, remember that in the previous life, the countryside just threw the straw in the field, and then harvested it after it was dry, wouldn't it be easier?
Wu smiled, "It's okay to do this, it's just to bask in the sun more in the field, but people should be more relaxed." ”
Lin Dezheng said, "Then do it, our family has picked up the rice this year, and we can't rest, so we can save space, and we can go to work for a few days to take back the grain and grass after we are done." ”
Everyone should come down, Lin Changgui said with a smile, "His son is clever, and he thought of an idea so quickly." ”
The corners of Siqi's mouth twitched, is this method hard to think of?
In her opinion, this conventional method of cutting rice is more difficult to understand.
The next day, Mengshan took a few younger brothers and sisters to cut the ears of rice at home, and those that had been cut back still had to be finished first.
Wanrong and Si Yao also came to help, although the two of them were going to do embroidery work, but they were born in a Zhuang family, so they couldn't treat themselves as Miss Jiao, right?
After cutting a basket, I took it to the mat on the road outside to dry, which was full of moisture, but at this time the sun was big, and I could hit it with a few suns.
Siqi carried a small basket out and fell on the mat, and happened to meet Tiankuo, and the two smiled and said hello.
Tiankuo was wearing an old clothes, this was also going to the field, and he had just gone home to get tea.
"Siqi, you've been tanned for the past few days, you're tired, aren't you?"
Siqi said while working, "I'm tired, but I'm also happy in my heart, this year is a good year, the crops in the field are good, even if I'm tired and bend over, I'm happy." ”
Tiankuo said, "Then if our family's work is finished early, I will come to help your family and strive to finish it as soon as possible." ”
Si Qi smiled, "Okay, thank you, Brother Tiankuo." ”
"Hey, you're welcome."
After the family used the method, it was not only easier, but also faster.
Although the straw is still in the field and has not been recovered, what does it matter, anyway, it is used to make a fire, and it doesn't matter if it is taken back later.
The important thing is the food, and these things can be relieved when they are brought back.
After the rice at home was cut, Siqi and the others followed to work in the field, and she is now more and more proficient, although the speed is still not as good as Menghuan and them, but it is not much worse.
After harvesting the crops for a few days, the villagers found that the Lin family only cut the ears of rice, and laughed, "Lao Lin, is your family too late to harvest the rice this year, don't you have to come back and cut the grain grass again?" ”
Lin Dezheng smiled and said, "Do it so quickly, just come and cut the grain grass in a few days, this thing will not spoil in the field, and it is important to take back the crops." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone came back to their senses, yes, it was much easier to do this work.
"That's right, you're good at it, I'll go back and talk to our family, and that's it."
It spread ten, ten, and hundreds, and finally most of the people in the village did it.
Siqi is really crying and laughing, is this method really hard to think of? Why is it that everyone seems to have found a treasure, is it true that the ancients were not so smart?
The Lin family had harvested more than half of the rice, and on this day, someone from the village came directly to the Lin family.
He knocked on the door directly, Si Yao came out to open the door, and found that it was a man, so he quickly closed the door and asked the person through the door panel, "May I ask who you are?" I don't recognize it. ”
The person outside the door smiled and said, "I am Zijun Zikang's classmate, and I followed him back to eat the wedding wine last time." ”
Si Yao thought about it, as if there was such a person, and asked, "Then you are looking for my eldest brother and second brother?" ”
"Yes, I'm here for them, are they at home?"
