Chapter 122: Harvesting Wheat
Brother wants to too, but I can't control myself. "After walking for almost five miles, the two of them are almost normal, but fortunately there is no one along the way.
"Let's not tell Dad, don't tell the truth to Mom, just say that it was sold for 200 yuan, or Mom won't be able to hide it."
Su Xiaozao thought about it, she took the money and hid it in the space, because at this time, the maximum face value was only ten yuan, and it was difficult to hide ten small bundles of ten thousand yuan.
The younger sister proposed to hide it by herself, Su Ji didn't hit a stumbling block, this sister is now eccentric, much smarter than him and the eldest sister, not to mention, the ginseng was also dug up by her.
So when they got home, they stood behind the wall, counted twenty sheets, and handed the rest of the bags to their sister, and went home first with the baskets.
Su Xiao threw it back into the space directly, and took a cold roast chicken out, intending to tell her brother that she was hiding in the secret base to give him a reassurance. Of course, I told my parents that I bought it in town.
When I got home, my brother told the truth that the herbs dug by my mother were sold for eight yuan, and the apricots and buns were given by Grandpa Daqi.
Mom didn't say anything, she took it and went to the stove room to heat it up, she knew that eight adult ginseng was sold for money, or the little girl wouldn't buy chicken to eat, but she didn't want to tell her husband that the children were right, he was too pretended to be the Su family in his heart, this is the money for the children to study, not to mention, the ginseng was discovered by the youngest daughter.
Dad looked at the children with a complicated expression, he didn't want to be with the eldest brother today, but as soon as he said a few words, the girl disappeared, and he was embarrassed to call them loudly, so he had to chase them forward for a while, but he didn't find them.
On the road, he hit a pheasant, and was seen by his sister-in-law, saying that it was for his mother, what could he say? I had to let my sister-in-law take it away.
But the children went to the town, sold the herbs they had dug up, and bought chickens, which made him feel a little better.
"We're a little gluttonous chicken, eat more today, aren't you tired, have you walked so far with your brother?" Well, this sudden intimacy made Su Xiao a little uncomfortable.
My sister also ran out when she heard the movement, and when she saw Su Xiao's muddy appearance, she hurriedly fetched water to wash her, and took clean shoes for her to change into.
"Why don't you let Mom go? It's such a long way, look at it, it's blistered on your feet, does it hurt, and when you eat and scald it with hot water, my sister will pick it for you. ”
"Sister, it doesn't hurt, I'll tell you quietly, we dug up ginseng in the mountains today and sold it for two hundred yuan, don't tell Dad, you and your brother have the money to go to school!" She couldn't hold back her joy and wanted her dear sister to know sooner.
"Really, I won't tell him, if my father knows, it won't be all given to Su Wusheng's family, and they will also go to college." This is true.
Mom served them dinner, and said that it was strange, and they had eaten a big bowl of noodles in the afternoon, but they still ate it correctly, and they didn't feel like it was supporting it at all, it was just a rubber belly, and the family divided the chicken.
It's strange to say, today my father is very abnormal, and he didn't even propose to send some to grandma, and I can't forget what is delicious.
He didn't mention it, of course others didn't mention it, and in the end even the tiny bones were crushed, and they hadn't eaten meat so much for a long time.
Su Xiao looked at eating, but in fact, she only ate a little bit, and she didn't lack this, so she didn't grab food from them.
After dinner, my mother came to my brother's room and learned that the huge sum of two hundred yuan was worth two hundred yuan, and she couldn't hold back at that time, saying that she had to tell her father that there was so much money!
"Mom, if you tell your father that this money is Su Wusheng's, can you think about it, my uncle said that day, my brother and sister are all lively, only his martial arts students are serious about going to college, have you thought about it?" Liu Suzhen thought about it all at once, didn't say anything, and let her son take it.
She didn't have the money, and she hadn't dug ginseng! After the psychological construction was done, he went out with a calm face, Su Xiao lay on the bed, almost laughing, her mother was so cute.
Now, my brother and sister are studying harder, they have no worries, only my father is sad every day, and the two big ones are holding books all day long, do you really want to go to university?
The eldest brother said that day, this is not nonsense, one has not been to school for a few years, and the other is only in the second year of high school, obviously saying goodbye to his martial arts!
But since the food delivery incident, he doesn't talk at home, and the food he eats is all bought by Su Zhen with borrowed money, how can he have the face to say that he won't let him take the test.
On the day when the brigade harvested wheat, early in the morning, Su Ji sharpened his sickle, and his injury leave expired, although Su Xiao didn't want him to go, but Su Ji said:
"Brother has been out of work for a year, that is, this wheat harvest is busy, if you take leave now, a lot of food will be deducted, it is not cost-effective, you believe brother, I have reviewed well, I will definitely have good results." He still has a vocabulary book pinned to his waist, and when he cuts wheat, he doesn't delay memorizing words.
It was at this time that Su Dahai realized that his son had taken all the leave for injuries before, and he had not missed work at all, so he was immediately ashamed and went out first with a sickle.
The wheat is harvested, and the whole worker goes to the harvest, and the children of each family also have to go, and they are responsible for sweeping the field and picking the ears of wheat. As long as the whole village can move, they have to help. There is no way to do this, harvesting wheat is also called rushing, and a delay will reduce production.
Because it is easy to rain at this time, once it is watered, it will not even be possible to hand over the grain, because the wheat will be sticky.
Xiao Xiaowei was slightly assigned to the team to sweep the field, they had to go to clean the yard first, and after the adults cut the wheat, they would crush it here, that is, threshing, and then raise the field, raise the wheat grains, and then quickly dry them.
The children have to take a broom and keep sweeping the scattered ears of wheat under the mill, under the scorching sun, this work is not easy to do, but fortunately they do not need to be in the yard all the time, they will go back a little earlier and cook for the adults in the house.
If there are elderly people at home, they will boil some mung bean soup or rice soup in advance, let it cool, and let the children send it, but there is no one at home, so they have to go home and make it themselves.
"I just saw Su Lili and Su Wusheng bringing food to their uncle, it must have been made by grandma, she never went into the kitchen when she was at our house."
Su said slightly indignantly that since the food delivery incident, grandma has also lost her love in their eyes.
Su Xiaozao made up her mind, her steamed bun was not only added with eggs, but also with milk powder, she didn't want her parents to be tired, she would think, can you add some mung bean flour to the rice soup?
