Chapter 91: Gleaning

After the hottest and suniest part of the day, families brought farm tools to work in the fields.

In the field, the wheat straw is piled up, and the bags of wheat are carried to the cart and returned to the family's granary for storage.

The wheat in the field is cut and the bare straw is still taking root in the soil. The straw naturally decays into fertilizer for the soil to nourish the next crop.

Whether it is manual labor or machine work, there will be omissions. There were many ears of wheat that were left scattered in the fields. Picking up these ears of wheat can also be a big deal.

Aoko and Junko compete to see who can pick up the most before dark.

Winier went down to the field to help her brother pick up wheat, from one end of the ridge to the other and from that end to this end, and only picked up a small bag after two trips.

The children in the family had all gone to the ground, and Yu Sheng was worried about the brother and sister, so he followed him from home. Heat stroke or something is a trivial matter, I'm afraid of snakes-

The eldest Wang Jianguo, that is, the father of Sang Qing and Yun Nier, was bitten by a poisonous snake and died of poisoning when he was working in the field. Although the probability of such an incident is very small, Yu Sheng is still worried that the same thing will happen to the child.

She kept reminding them at the edge of the ridge: "Just pick up one bag, don't pick up so much." ”

The wheat in their fields was all harvested, after all, there were many people and great strength, and Sangping had gathered a lot of manpower. There are also many wheat growing in the ground.

Yu Sheng saw a harvester parked in the threshing field of a field not far away. Her eyes lit up, she pointed over there and said, "That's a good thing." ”

Sang Ping smiled secretly: "Good things are not something that anyone can use. ”

Feeling that he had something to say, Yu Sheng couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Sang Ping didn't bother to look over there, "That's the land of Secretary Cai's house." The harvester was also rented by him. The rent for a day is so much money when the machine is put there, and the rent for a day is also so much money when you use it. Whoever cares if he borrows, he will do two words - not borrow. ”

From the tone of his voice, it can be heard that he looks down on the secretary.

Yu Sheng asked, "Did you borrow it from him?" ”

Sang Ping said in disgust: "The harvesting speed of his machine is not as fast as the hands and feet of my brothers. We don't need a harvester, so we don't need to finish harvesting the wheat. When the harvester was running, I saw that the harvest was leaking a lot. Didn't you see their family scavenging wheat in the field? It's better to cut it with a sickle. ”

He used a straw hat as a fan to give Yu Sheng a cool breeze.

Yu Sheng wanted to buckle the hat in his hand back to his head, "You wear it." ”

Sangping hid her hand with a straw hat, and at the same time did not delay fanning her.

"I'm not hot."

Yu Sheng looked at the sweat on his head, and said angrily: "I can't open my eyes even when I get sun, and the sweat in my hair is flowing down, and it's not hot." ”

Sang Ping looked at her pregnant belly and smiled: "I don't care, isn't it afraid of the heat and the sun on your mother." ”

Yu Sheng glanced at him with disgust, "Okay, call the child back." ”

"Tell them to dry in the ground for a while." Sang Ping really doesn't feel sorry for his nephew at all. He shouted to Sang Qing and Yun Nier, who were picking up wheat in the ground, "You two will dry again... Let's go back to cooking! ”

Sang Qing straightened up and responded: "Hurry up and take your aunt back!" ”

Did he hear it wrong? He seems to have heard his uncle tell them to dry in the ground for a while...

He's almost peeling!

On the way back, Yu Sheng asked, "Are the eldest brother and second brother not next to each other with our family's land?" ”

"Nope." Sang Ping said, "Our family's land is in the east of the village, the eldest brother's is in the west, and the second family is in the north." Xiangyang: They are now collecting wheat in the east. Ming'er is busy for another day, and the work in the three fields can almost be completed. ”

Yu Sheng: "The eldest brother and the second brother are not here, how have you disposed of the grain in the two fields in the past two years?" ”

Sang Ping: "I sold all the grain in my eldest brother's field, and I didn't leave any of it." The money from the sale was saved by Qingzi. The grain in our field is stored in our granary, and it is kept for our own food.

As for the second child, didn't he pick up our father's class and leave? His account also followed, as if it was hanging on their unit. Now the nominal crop belongs to his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law's household registration is still here.

Every year, I put aside his land to plant crops, and my second daughter-in-law and children will pay some rent. It's all good. We don't owe them anything. ”

Yu Sheng said: "The second brother was dismissed by their work unit, so his household registration may not be able to be linked to the unit." In case his account is returned, others will follow, and the land will definitely be taken back. We will not plant anything from his field after we have collected it, and we will not continue to pay rent to them. ”

Sang Ping, of course, acted according to Yu Sheng's wishes.

Yu Sheng remembers that before he was reborn, the second family would come back in the autumn of this year. When the second brother took back the land from Sang Ping, he didn't even return the rent, and he also picked up a season of bud grain sticks for nothing. This family will take advantage of it.

The two of them were about to walk to the entrance of the village, when they suddenly heard a noisy sound behind them. The two of them stopped and looked back, only to see Aoko and Junko pulling with a half-aged woman.

That woman is the daughter-in-law of the secretary and the daughter-in-law of the Ma family.

Ma pulled the urea bag in the hands of Qingzi and Shunzi and did not let go.

The bag was full of wheat that the two children had picked up in the field under the poisonous sun.

Yu Sheng and Sang Ping hurriedly turned back again.

Qingzi dragged the bag back from Ma's hand, and scolded angrily: "Why are you shameless! ”

"Who is shameless!" Ma screamed bitterly.

Junko wanted to follow Aoko's example, but Ma's hands grabbed his bag.

Seeing that he alone could not defeat Ma's strength, Qingzi threw his bag of wheat in front of Sang Ping, and pounced on it to help Junko grab it.

Sang Ping also joined in, and gently and easily helped the two children snatch the bag back.

"Sister-in-law, what are you robbing with the two children?"

Ma glared at them.

Qingzi complained loudly: "These two bags of wheat were picked up by me and Shunzi on our land, and she said that we picked them up in her field, and they will be snatched when they come over!" ”

Ma Shi pointed at him angrily, "This kid is really a lie, I saw you two with empty bags on my ground!" ”

Yu Sheng's voice was slightly cold: "Sister-in-law, how can you wronged people." I stood here for a long time, watching the children pick up wheat in our field, and as soon as we walked on the front foot, you came over on the back foot to take advantage of this. Children work hard to pick up so much wheat in the field, and you want to snatch away the fruits of their labor if you say a few words that are wronged, are you such a bully? ”

Sang Ping'an comforted her, "Don't be angry. ”

Ma pointed to his nose, laughed instead of anger and said, "I bully people? I saw them go to my land! ”

"You say you see it, you see it, your eyes are long and your mouth is on!" Sang Ping looked at Ma Shi coldly.
