After lunch in the morning, the family set out for the fields.

Looking up at the sun that had just leaked out of the horizon, a group of people couldn't help but step up their steps, today is still late, they said a few more words during dinner, and went out for a while, and then rushed out with the sun.

Helan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it had been three consecutive days since she got up early.

The reason why I get up early is just to be able to rush to the field early, to do more when the weather is not hot, if I catch up with the sun at noon, I don't know if I can last a day, the sun is really getting hotter and hotter day by day.

Fortunately, this year's war was calmed down as soon as possible, and fortunately, God's strength made this year's crops ripe in a particularly hurry, which made them not miss the harvest.

When Wu Qingzhu went out in the morning, he didn't let Grandpa Wu come out, and he needed to bend over and move his legs from time to time to do farm work, and Grandpa Wu's legs and feet had not been very convenient, so he hadn't done much heavy work at home.

But this time Grandpa Wu was very persistent, and the old man felt that the grain had been in the field for a long time, for fear that there would be any accidents in the middle, so he just wanted to take the grain back to the house as soon as possible.

Didn't you look at the things that happened in the few acres of land next to the county seat, not to mention that a large amount of grain in the field was poured, and more than half of it was missing, and some of them were all unbearable by those officers and soldiers.

But food is also a big deal, and if the family can't pay the income required by the government, it will not be a trivial matter.

Grandpa Wu sighed, in this world, it is not easy to live, and then lowered his head and picked the ears of wheat in front of him.

Father Wu used a samarium in a farther place, but this thing is a waste of strength, and it also pays attention to skills, if you are not careful, the blade will hurt you, Helan touched it for a while before, but it didn't rotate.

There are only two sickles at home, one of which is used by Wu's mother, which is a long distance ahead of them.

The other is Wu Qingquan's use, and he is using it after Wu Qingzhu comes back, and the speed is not slow.

The rest of the people are to pinch the ears of wheat, the roots of the wheat are not very good, but it is relatively simple to leave the head off, but this kind of project is slower, Wu's mother and they have gone twice so that these people have walked half of Wu's mother.

And today, the youngest dog was also brought, and the main responsibility was to pick up the ears of wheat, and he was also responsible for picking up the ears of wheat that were not cleaned.

The horses and wagons waited at the rear, and when the ears of wheat had been save, they piled them on the wagon.

Grandpa Wu's legs hurt after standing for a long time, so he could only move slowly with crutches, and from time to time he would sit down and pick up for a while.

Helan will deliberately leave a piece of wheat close to the old man for the old man to pick slowly.

Out of filial piety, after a few people quickly picked up all the old man in front of them, they got not a reward, but one person and one crutch.

Grandpa Wu said this: I'm not a wasted person, since I'm here, I'm going to help out, I'm not as fast as you, just leave me here, you guys are done with what I'm doing in front of me, I have to walk a few steps to do it, this is purely looking for something.

Several people rubbed their arms and could only hide a little away from the old man.

At about eleven o'clock, the sun was already shining and the people couldn't open their eyes, so Wu's mother first let the family go to the shade of the trees on the ground to rest.

"Drink water quickly, rest for a while, and then pull back the wheat harvested this morning and rest, and come out at five o'clock in the afternoon to be busy for a while, and this land will be almost there." This was said by Wu's father, there is only one horse in the family, and Wu's second grandfather's family will also use it, and their family will occupy it for a while, and the second grandfather's family will have to bask in the field more.

Wu Qingzhu drank water and looked at the grain in the field. I didn't feel cold when I took a bath by the lake two days ago, but I didn't expect it to be so hot for two days.

Helan took the cloth towel around her neck and fanned herself vigorously, looking at the harvest in the field rather sadly.

At this time, I especially miss the modern high-tech, as long as I walk around the field with the car, I can finish it in a while, but when I look at the front of me, they have been busy for several days before they have collected half of it, and they are still not in a state of shelling.

I heard Grandpa Wu say that in the end, these wheat should be milled with horses and stones, and they will be rolled over little by little, until the husk and wheat grains are separated.

The day before yesterday, Helan was fortunate to see a certain family in the village carrying out this process, but the speed was really not flattering.

The matter of piling the wheat on the car, the women are useless, and the three of Wu Qingzhu are busy very quickly.

After half of the work, Wu Haisheng and Wu Haishan took their own tools to help pick wheat together.

Mother Wu saw that they were almost busy, so she asked Qingmei to help Grandpa Wu, and a few people went home first.

It's not good to watch people busy at this time, so it's better to go back early and vacate some space in the yard, and then pull the wheat back and have a place to pile it up.

"Mother, why don't I stay and help fight or something, and go back with them later.

This was said by Helan, and she felt a little distressed when she saw Father Wu and their busy sweating heads.

Wu Qingzhu over there heard Helan clearly, for fear that his daughter-in-law would be disobedient and planned to continue to bask in the sun in the field, so he opened his mouth anxiously: "Where do you need it, it's only right to go back and help my mother do things." ”

"Yo, Brother Zhu knows that he feels sorry for his own lady! It's grown up, right? Uncle Haisheng next to him looked at Wu Qingzhu with a playful expression.

Mother Wu also smiled: "Where do you need to be here, if you really feel sorry for your man, it is only right to go back with me to cook for them." ”

Helan and Wu Qingzhu both blushed when they said this, and they were quite embarrassed, they were really embarrassed in front of so many elders.

"Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, you have to do more, and we can go to your house for a meal at noon! Hahaha! ”

Wu Haishan saw that the two of them were embarrassed and made a joke, but when they heard it, they knew it was a joke.

At this time, Wu's father on the side also opened his mouth: "There is a lot of food at home, so call most of the family members to come up and eat white at home." ”

"I'm just kidding, big brother is still serious, the two girls of lotus and lotus leaves are staying at home, I can't say that they have already been done." The honest man was afraid that his eldest brother and sister-in-law would take it seriously, so he hurriedly answered and explained.

Wu's mother didn't continue to listen to the conversation of a few people, stood up, said hello, and led a few people to the direction of the house.

I also met a lot of acquaintances along the way, and from time to time I would say hello and say a word, but this time, I walked for half an hour when I was usually one or twenty minutes away.

finally arrived at the entrance of the village and met Grandma Wu Tong again, and pulled Wu's mother and began to talk endlessly, and Helan felt a little too much.

Helan and Qingmei were so bored that they began to kick their toes, and they deeply sighed that the woman's ability to chat was really amazing.

Grandpa Wu shook his head, and when he saw that the two people were chatting without stopping, and they didn't disturb the two of them, the leader walked to his house.

A few days ago, Grandpa Wu asked Wu's father and Wu Tong's father, Wu Dashan, to leak the news in private, that is, the matter between Wu Tong and Qingmei.

didn't explain it, but the words vaguely revealed this meaning, if people are willing, they will naturally come to the door, after all, this matter is still the man's family to come forward first, and now looking at Grandma Wu Tong's affectionate appearance, it should become.

Before leaving, Wu Tong's grandmother kept looking at Qingmei, Qingmei probably figured out what it meant, her mother had mentioned this matter to her before, and she didn't object, with her current situation, she no longer wanted to marry a good family, and even thought about not marrying for the rest of her life.

Now that people are willing to leave her, she doesn't know how to describe it, whether to be sad or happy, when she didn't make a decision before, it was her family who picked others, but now? The parents who also want to lick their faces and tell people about marriage.

For a long time, the little girl was a little depressed, and later Helan's enlightenment and conversation again and again allowed Qingmei to slowly get out of the gloomy time.
