Chapter Eighty-Nine: Midnight Labor
Yu Ruhai in the house heard Yu Jiao say so surely, but he had a little concern, and walked out of the house and said, "What if it doesn't rain tomorrow and the wheat in the field doesn't flood?" ”
Yu Jiao sneered, "Wouldn't it be better if it didn't go down?" ”
Hearing Yu Jiao's ridicule, Yu Ruhai frowned, and said with some displeasure, "If it rains, everyone will move people to the fields to cut wheat in the middle of the night. ”
Yu Jiao didn't bother to say more to him, "Believe it or not." ”
After speaking, he pulled Yu Poria and left.
Yu Ruhai stood in place and was quite annoyed, thinking for a while, after all, he was still afraid that the harvest in the past six months would be lost, so he said to Yu Zhou with a calm face, "You go and call the boss and his family to go to the field." ”
Yu Zhou's originally wanted to hang the two of them in the big house, they wanted to call them sick and didn't want to go to the field, so don't go to the field, and the province will have to make an inch in the future, and then make trouble with other things.
"Master, maybe Meng Yatou just said in passing, the sun is scorching these days, where is there any sign of rain?" Yu Zhou's reluctance to obey Dafang's wishes, so he said.
Yu Ruhai frowned and said, "I'm afraid she is not talking nonsense, if it really rains, I don't know what the harvest will be like, I heard that this year's field endowment is going to increase again." ”
"Tian Fu wants to rise? The court really doesn't know the suffering of our people, when Emperor Mingzong was in power, thirty taxes and one one, and now Emperor Ming Zheng has only been in power for ten years, and it has risen to fifteen taxes and one, and if it goes on like this, where will the harvest be enough to eat. Yu Zhou was a little melancholy, and then mentioned the big house, and said, "The eldest and his wife are now arrogant and let them go to the field, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to send Zhizhou to the county school." ”
Yu Ruhai rubbed his head that was a little swollen, "Okay, Jinshu and Jinyan both went to the county school, it's not good to be too favoritistic, the province has caused a gap between their brothers, I'll go and talk to the eldest couple." ”
Listening to the meaning of Yu Ruhai's words, he actually wanted to agree to send Yu Zhizhou to the county school, Yu Zhoushi secretly annoyed that he shouldn't talk too much, he originally wanted to use the old man's mouth to make the big house completely lose his mind, but he didn't want to go to their will.
No matter how much Yu Zhou regretted it in his heart, Yu Ruhai had already stepped to Westinghouse.
After going to the mountains to hunt and rain last time, Yu Qiaoshan heard that it was Yu Jiao who said that it was going to rain, so he pulled Zhang's clothes and went to the field to cut wheat.
Although Zhang was angry with the old man, he also had a clear priority, and the harvest was related to the family's rations in the second half of the year, so he was no longer stubborn, and woke up Yu Licorice and Yu Zhixing.
Yu Ruhai didn't know that the Zhang family had compromised, and hurriedly came to the West House, and was bumping into Yu Qiao Mountain who opened the door and walked out, Yu Ruhai hurriedly said, "Meng Yatou said that it is going to rain, so let your daughter-in-law stop making trouble, and hurry up to the field to harvest wheat!" As soon as the farm was over, he sent Zhizhou to the county school. ”
Hearing the old man say this suddenly, Zhang also walked out of the house quickly, "Dad, you have to talk about it." ”
Yu Ruhai glared at the cloudy old eyes and said, "When did I stop talking?" Several children are the same in my heart, how can I favor one over the other. ”
Now that the Zhang family has weighed his mind, where will he make Yu Ruhai unhappy, and said in the voice, "Dad loves the children, we all know in our hearts, and when Zhizhou has a future in the future, I will also honor you." ”
Except for Sanfang and the old man and old lady, everyone else went to the field, and put two worn-out paper lanterns on the ground, and by the faint light, a group of people worked hard at night with sickles and sweat.
Fortunately, the people in the small mountain village went to bed early, otherwise they would have been frightened to see this at night.
The strength of the people is great, and the two members of the big house are good at doing crop work, and they are busy working until the dark mountains and forests in the east reveal a touch of fish belly white, and everyone finally cut all the wheat in the field.
The field was piled with harvested wheat, and the Song family returned to the village and knocked on the courtyard door of the Wang family next door.
Before the Wang family got up, the Wang family, who was woken up by the knock on the door, yawned and opened the courtyard door, and when he saw that it was the Song family who knocked on the door, he asked, "Mengshan daughter-in-law, what happened early in the morning?" ”
Song smiled and said, "Auntie, my family still has to use your ox cart, don't worry, don't delay your family pulling wheat." ”
The Wang family is not a stingy person, and the Yu family is a close neighbor, and the family has a headache over the years, so they have gone to the Yu family to get medicine, and they responded happily, "Cheng, you go with me to the backyard and pull the ox cart away." ”
Song followed Wang into her yard, Wang took the ox cart out of the backyard, handed it to Song, and said a little strangely, "Didn't your family pull back all the wheat they cut yesterday?" Why do you have to pull wheat again early in the morning? ”
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the Song family didn't know that Yu Jiao said that it would rain today, so he didn't mention this stubble, but said, "There is no ox cart at home, and I have always borrowed your aunt's family, for fear of delaying your family, I cut all the wheat in the field at night." ”
Wang smiled after hearing this, there are not many people in the village who have ox carts, as soon as they are busy farming, many people in the village politely come to their Wang family to borrow ox carts, the Yu family is so capable, don't you still have to ask for their home, which makes Wang's face very bright, but the mouth is polite and said, "You can't delay anything, your family has to use it to say it." ”
Song thanked him a few times and led the Wang family's ox cart to the field.
The sky gradually became brighter, but it was covered with a layer of fog, and the wheat in the field of the Yu family had not yet been pulled, and the raindrops fell 'crackling'.
Seeing this, the Yu family also accelerated the speed of pulling the wheat, but fortunately, the Yu family's field was just west of the village, not far from the village, and they pulled the rest of the wheat back to their homes before the rain fell heavily.
Yu Ruhai saw that it was really raining, smiled, and praised Yu Jiao for her foresight, the wheat in the field was ripe, and now most of the people have not finished it, this rain, after being flooded, I don't know how much grain will be lost.
The Zhao family of Sanfang was still scolding and scolding, but now he didn't even dare to say a word of.
After unloading all the wheat on the cart, the Song family went to Wang's house to return the ox cart and brought a plate of fruit sent by Zhang Zhuangtou and his wife before.
Wang's face was sad, and there was a smile on his face when he received the fruit, "What's polite, the relationship between our neighbors is just to use an ox cart, how can there be a reason to collect things." ”
The villagers often deal with each other, and the Song family will also say something about the scene, and said with a smile, "It's not a rare thing, there were many people in the family that day, and I was busy with the work in the field these two days, so I should have sent it to my aunt to taste it a long time ago." ”
Wang no longer refused, envy said, "Your family is lucky, in the middle of the night to harvest the wheat, it happens to rain today, I don't know when the rain will stop, the wheat in my field will suffer." ”
