At half past four the next morning, Li Hansheng woke up on time, changed into old clothes, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and stepped out of the house. Wearing the stars and the moon, the morning mist, and the occasional dog barking.

Li Muxiao was trying to see if the sickle was sharp, and when he saw Li Hansheng coming in against the mist, he spoke: "Brother, I got up quite early, I still thought I would call you later."

walked over and hugged Li Hansheng's shoulder, "In this way, we and your uncle will go to the "electric cage" to kill the eight points first, and your aunt will cook at home, and when you come back to eat, you will carry the threshing machine to hunt together." What do you think? ”

"Okay, I can do it all." Li Hansheng took the sickle, "Then let's set off?" ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Muxiao waved his hand, carrying the kettle and sickle, and walked forward first.

The "electric cage" is the largest and best cultivated land in the village, which is flat and flat, with water canals and convenient irrigation. Li Kangming here scattered and three brothers together a total of three acres of land, the largest area is the eight-point field, this morning's task of the three of them is to kill all the grass in the eight-point field, put it neatly, so that after breakfast, you can start playing directly, super efficient.

Li Hansheng stood at the edge of the field, looking at the dense grass, there was no place to put his feet, he hesitated for a while, and didn't know where to start.

"What's so hard about that?" Li Muxiao pouted her ass and brushed it a few times to kill all the He on the side, put it on the ridge, and looked at Li Hansheng, "Look, isn't this a problem?" “

said that he didn't wait for Li Hansheng to answer, and went straight to the front to kill.

Li Hansheng laughed, didn't roll up his trouser legs, just stepped on it like that, and the cold muddy water made him can't help but "hiss", what a ice.

With a grunt, he took the scythe and opened his bow left and right, bending down to kill in the other direction.

Li Kangming was already killing on the opposite side, and there were already several piles of grass piled on both sides.

......

"Ouch, Lao Tzu's waist!" Li Hansheng stood up with his waist and looked ahead, "It's been almost half an hour since I killed, I should have killed half of it." ”

"Damn, why are there so many?" Li Hansheng looked at the large piece of He that was still left, and felt a little depressed, "This is at least two-thirds of it." ”

"Hansheng, you're so young, your waist can't do it?" Li Muxiao also straightened up, "Do you think eight points are very few?" We'll have at least an hour to finish it, and we'll still have to keep it at this speed. ”

"Forget it, let's rest and have a cup of tea. Dad, Hansheng, come and sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

Li Muxiao first raised his head and poured a cup of tea, feeling that it was not enough, so he drank another cup. Watching the two of them come over, they poured two cups of tea and handed them over.

"Dad, how about it, can you finish killing it before eight o'clock?"

"It's hard to say." Li Kangming took the tea, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, but did not wipe it clean, and the remaining tea stains were left on the stubble, he didn't care, and wiped it with the back of his hand.

"It's getting more and more tiring in the back, but it's not going to be like this all the time. It's good to be able to kill it before half past eight. “

Li Hansheng shouted, "It's going to be so long, I still want to go back to breakfast early." ”

"Then hurry up." Li Muxiao laughed heartily and slapped Li Hansheng on the shoulder, "Then let's continue now, finish it early and go back to breakfast early."

"Good!" The three of them got up and held back their strength to kill in front.

The sun slowly came out, and the light shone on the rice fields, reflecting a dazzling golden light, which was the light of the harvest. But there were three small figures, digging a small piece of this golden flatbread squarely, revealing the black soil underneath.

"Whew!" Li Hansheng exhaled a big breath, "It's finally finished, it shouldn't be eight o'clock yet." I wiped the sweat from my head, looked at the piles of grass that had been placed all the way, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's go back to dinner!" Li Hansheng carried an empty kettle and ran in front with cheers.

......

Breakfast is fried meat with eggplant, capers, and loofah soup, which is small but large, and is served in a large porcelain bowl with an attractive aroma.

Li Hansheng gulped down the meal, and after the labor, the meal was even more fragrant and delicious.

"Ugh!" Li Hansheng touched his stomach and burped with satisfaction, the dishes on the table were eaten cleanly, and he ate at least half of the food on this table.

"Let's take a rest first, and then let's go hunting." Li Muxiao looked at his younger brother slumped in the chair and couldn't move, funny and distressed: "What do you do if you eat so fiercely?" Don't sit still, just walk slowly and eat less. ”

"Isn't that hungry? The dishes are delicious, too. Li Hansheng smiled and struggled to get up, "I must not eat so much next time, my stomach is really a little uncomfortable." ”

......

Half an hour later, "in the electric cage", Li Kangming and Li Muxiao put down the threshing machine, installed the threshing rollers, and then installed the wind shields on all sides. Shake it to make sure it is stable and will not tip over before you start threshing.

At this time, the sun had risen to a high place, and the sun was very hot, and although they had just walked over, everyone was sweating. The sun was so dazzling that everyone squinted slightly.

"Hansheng, I'll fight with your uncle first, and then you and your aunt will hand us He. When we get tired, we will rotate again. ”

Li Muxiao said as he walked up first, stepped on the pedal with his right foot, and started the roller.

Li Hansheng watched the eldest brother start, and hurriedly handed over a handful of He.

"Hit, hit, hit..." Soon a handful of He was beaten clean, Li Muxiao threw the cleaned He to the side, took the newly handed He and continued to fight.

In this way, the uncle also joined in later, and the two of them stepped on the rollers quickly, sweating like rain, the heaps gradually decreased, and the grain in the threshing machine became more and more.

"Hansheng, you go and load the millet, I'll take it myself first."

Li Muxiao saw that the grain in the machine was about to be full, and shouted.

Li Hansheng hurriedly handed him a handful of grass in his hand, walked to the back, took the bag and began to fill the grain. It took two big bags in a row to get the machine almost done.

......

And so it was installed twice.

Li Muxiao was a little tired, "Stop and rest first and drink some tea." ”

"Hansheng, wait for you and your aunt to fight, and your uncle and I will hand it to you."

"Okay, we're not going to be busier than you."

"Yo, brother, you're so powerful! I'll see what I'll see. ”

The two brothers were smiling and arguing in front, and Li Kangming and his wife were smiling and watching in the back, "These two brothers have a good relationship, and in the future, we will all have to rely on them." ”

The scorching heat of the sun continued unabated, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the working people for harvesting. The family took turns to fight, and they all fought for the end of the game as soon as possible.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the eight-point field was finally completed, and Li Muxiao carried the last bag of millet to the ridge, and someone would lead the horse to carry it back.

"Let's go, go back to dinner, grandparents should have cooked at home, and there is a big cold watermelon."

Li Muxiao beckoned the weak Li Hansheng to go home, as for the threshing machine, he still stayed here, and carried it directly to another place to threw in the afternoon.
