Chapter 11: Learning to Harvest Wheat

After walking straight for about 20 meters, turning left and walking along the ridge for about 50 meters, Tian Miao finally saw Qiu Chenghao and others scattered in four wheat fields.

"Mother, hurry up, the third sister and Cheng Kai are going to surpass us."

In the first field, Cheng Yan quickly waved the sickle in his hand while urging Cui Shi, who stopped and covered his mouth and coughed.

Da Bao and Er Bao The two little guys were also holding a small sickle, cutting wheat hard by Cui's side, and when they heard Cheng Yan's urging, the movements in their hands also became faster.

"Ahem, Dabao, Erbao, don't listen to your sister-in-law, cut slowly, be careful to cut your legs." Cui Shi glared at Cheng Yan, turned around and told Dabao and Erbao who were around her.

In the second field are Qiu Chenghao's fifteen-year-old third sisters, Qiu Chengping and Qiu Chengkai, who are a little slower.

In the third field is Qiu Chenghao's eighteen-year-old eldest sister Qiu Chengfang, who is very fast in her hands, so she surpasses Cui Shi and others by a large margin.

The people in the last field were far ahead, but due to the obstruction of the wheat in these wheat fields, Tian Miao could not see Qiu Chenghao's figure.

Tian Miao stood on the ground and hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the first field.

"Dabao, Erbao, come and drink sugar water."

"Miao Miao? Y-Why are you here? ”

Cui's, Cheng Yan, Dabao and Erbao were all frightened by Tian Miao who suddenly appeared, and in the end, Cui's, who kept coughing, reacted and instinctively protected Dabao Erbao behind him.

Tian Miao's heart pinched together inexplicably, "Why can't I come, hmph, I'm here to help you cut the wheat, do you mean that you don't welcome it?" ”

"No-" Cheng Yan just spit out a word, and when she saw Tian Miao glaring at her, she was so frightened that she quickly changed her words with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome, eldest brother is in the field on the other side, you go over there to cut!" ”

Because he really likes Qiu Chenghao, although Tian Miao makes trouble with him, but among the Qiu family, including Dabao and Erbao, Tian Miao only has a good face for Qiu Chenghao.

"Why don't you go there?" Cui Shi tried to suppress his cough and asked weakly.

Dabao turned his face away and pretended not to see Tian Miao, while Erbao secretly looked at her from the gap under Cui's squeaky nest.

"I'll cut right here." Seeing Cui's trembling expression, Tian Miao was a little unbearable, and his tone softened, "Here, sugar water, you and Dabao and Erbao will drink it separately." ”

She stuffed the large tea jar in her hand into the stunned Cui Shi's hand, walked away three or four steps, and prepared to squat down and wield the sickle.

"Don't be ashamed if you can't cut it."

Dabao turned around, brandished the small scythe and slashed twice, and said indignantly.

Tian Miao dragged her fat body, and it took a lot of effort to squat down, and when she heard Dabao's words, she couldn't help but hesitate.

However, in order to show that she can cut wheat, she learned the posture of Cheng Yan just seen, she stopped a large handful of wheat with her left hand, held the sickle in her right hand, stretched the blade in front of the wheat to hold it, and pulled it back hard.

I only heard a few dull swishing sounds, and only a few of them were cut down from a large handful of wheat, which was really embarrassing.

Tian Miao glanced at the old-fashioned sickle with a resentful look on her face, although she had seen it before, she really hadn't used it.

In her previous life, my father was from the countryside, and when she was a child, she used to cut wheat once or twice with a sickle when she went to her grandfather's house, but it was a new scythe with a slanted serrated blade, and then with a small harvester, even the sickle was eliminated.

"Brother, can I—" Erbao blinked at Tian Miao, who was trying to cut the wheat in an orderly manner, and asked Dabao weakly.

"Leave her alone."

Dabao deliberately suppressed her voice, but Tian Miao heard this heart-piercing sentence very clearly, she raised her head to look over, and saw Dabao's body shrinking unconsciously.

"You—you use my scythe, the blade of the scythe you took is too old, I—I'll sharpen it."

Cui was worried that Tian Miao would clean up the big treasure and the second treasure, so he hurriedly took his sickle and blocked Tian Miao's front.

"Good!" Tian Miao took the sickle handed over by Cui's family, compared the blades of the two sickles, and felt a little more comfortable, not that she couldn't, but that the blade was really too old.

"Mother, we're going to lose." Cheng Yan was a little reluctant.

The scythe that Tian Miao brought had been lying in the corner for several years, and Cui Shi sharpened it with a stone, although it would be faster, but it could not be compared with a specially sharpened sickle.

"If you lose, you lose, and it's not a real game."

Cui Shi took the sickle and walked to the edge of the ridge, found a rough stone, and began to grind it.

The other three people who were engaged in cutting wheat were startled by the sound of her sharpening knives, and they all stood up and looked over.

Qiu Chenghao and Qiu Chengfang were in front of them, and they didn't see Tian Miao squatting and competing with the wheat.

"Mother, didn't the sickle be sharpened by the eldest brother last night, why are you sharpening it again?" Qiu Chengfang asked.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's easier to grind."

"Iron, iron—"

Qiu Chengping approached the land and fell behind, and when he stood up, he saw Tian Miao's figure, and screamed in fright.

Soon, however, realizing that she had almost uttered the word 'tower', she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Sister-in-law, you, you're here." Cheng Kai was still clever, and when he saw Tian Miao, he tried his best to suppress his panic and greeted him flatteringly.
