Chapter 111: Rush in advance
Five days later, the sun is still high, proving something to the world with its fiery.
Xu Qingyan frowned, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, her eyelids kept beating for the past two days, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingyan ran towards the front yard, "Dad, let's take back all the crops in the field." ”
When the Xu family heard this, they all looked at her, and seeing her anxious face, Cao's heart tightened: "Ah Yan, what's wrong, didn't we say that we would wait for two more days." ”
"No, grandma, I always feel unsteady in my heart for the past two days, let's take it today, and collect it now." Xu Qingyan said urgently.
This inexplicable feeling has lasted for two days, and if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if, and postponing it for two days will not be of much use to the crops in the field.
Seeing Xu Qingyan so firm, Cao Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's accept it today." ”
Cao's spoke, and the Xu family all moved at the moment, each took a sickle, a flat shoulder and other tools, and went straight to the two acres of rice fields in the west of the village.
In addition to Cao's cooking at home, the adults in the family, plus Xu Xiulan's family, have a total of eight people, move faster, and they should be able to grab half of them today.
The drought touched the nerves of the whole village, and everyone had to go out and take a turn twice to see the drought of the land, and then to the Qinghe River to see the water level, while praying in their hearts that it would rain soon.
Seeing the Xu family's actions, the villagers were shocked, they would harvest the crops now, but they would lose a lot, although they were all worried about the drought, but they all thought that they could delay it for a day.
"Huazi, you will harvest it, don't wait, now the harvest will reduce a lot of yield, this rice can grow longer." It was Li Dashun's younger brother Li Dali who spoke.
"Yes, Keiko, why did you accept it all of a sudden, you told me yesterday to wait for two more days?" Zhao Quan asked
The people who asked were all good friends with the Xu family, Xu Guangqi looked up at the sky and sighed: "I'm afraid that there will be a locust plague, so I can harvest it early and rest assured." ”
"Ah, locust plague!" The onlookers gasped when they heard this.
The people who didn't deal with the Xu family listened to Xu Guangqi's words and sneered: "Hmph, Xu Guangqi, you don't scare everyone, the locust plague is what you say you have." ”
Xu Guangqi glanced at him coldly, "It's my business to accept it, you can't take it away from me." ”
The man listened to Xu Guangqi's words, and said with a calm face: "Then what do you say the locust plague is doing to scare everyone?" ”
"I'm full, I'm free to scare you, I'm worried about a locust plague, take care of your in advance, don't worry, you don't have to accept it, who forced you." After speaking, he ignored the man again, and the sickle in his hand kept moving.
The onlookers listened to Xu Guangqi's words and immediately rioted.
Everyone is entangled in their hearts, accept it in advance, unwillingly, postpone it for fear of a locust plague.
Li Dashun and Zhao Quan thought about it for a while, and finally decided to collect it in advance, in case there was a locust plague.
When the villagers saw that Li Dashun and Zhao Quanzhen had gone home, some of them decided to collect it in advance for the sake of insurance, and half of them kept their original plans unchanged and decided to delay them for a few more days.
There are many people and great strength, and the eight members of the Xu family went into battle together, and the two acres of rice were harvested in less than an hour, because there were onlookers around, Xu Qingyan didn't dare to do anything, only the regular distance was on the side, and then handed things and moved the rice.
The Xu family's ox cart and horse-drawn cart pulled back and forth several times before pulling all the rice back home, normally the grain just brought back can not be put into the warehouse immediately, and it has to be threshed and dried, but Xu Qingyan took into account the locusts, and suggested that the grain should be put into the warehouse first, and then taken out to dry when he is free, but the doors and windows of the warehouse must be opened.
After the two acres of land in the west of the village were harvested, the Xu family hurriedly harvested the eight acres of soybeans in the south of the village, except for half an acre of peanuts, the others were all soybeans.
The eight acres of land were Xu Qingyan's first experiments in aura runic water, and when she came to the south of the village and looked at the eight acres of well-grown soybeans, Xu Qingyan's heart throbbed.
This batch of soybeans is soaked in the aura rune water, and the pods are much larger than before, and if they can be harvested after they are ripe, the yield will definitely double than before.
It's just that no matter how heartache it is at this time, it's useless, the sky doesn't wait for anyone, it's better to take home safely.
At this time, there were no onlookers, Xu Qingyan took advantage of the Xu family's inattention, turned into a knife, waved her small hand, and the bean stalk instantly poured a large piece of Qigen, Xu Qingyan avoided her family, put a row here, put a row there.
Since the two of them were in charge of one acre of land, they found that the row in front of them had fallen down, and the Xu family didn't care, they just thought it was cut by another person.
With Xu Qingyan's secret help, in one afternoon, all the eight acres of beans were recovered.
After dinner, the Xu family hurried to the ten acres of land in the east of the village.
Of the ten acres of land, two acres were planted with watermelons, and the watermelons had already been harvested, leaving only two acres of corn, two acres of potatoes, two acres of peanuts and two acres of sweet potatoes.
Xu Qingyan immediately made a decision and asked her family to harvest the corn first, and everything else was in the soil, even if it was too late to harvest, it would be fine.
After some cooperation, the two acres of corn were harvested, the sky had darkened, and the moon gradually rose.
The Xu family rotated for a day today, and they were so tired at this time that they didn't even want to move a finger when lying on the chair
Xu Qingjun and Xu Qingwen, two small ones, saw that the adults were working so hard, so they hurriedly and thoughtfully brought tea to everyone.
Seeing that everything in the field was snatched back, Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, thought of his two daughters, and said, "Boss and second, do you want to send a message to you and the second sister about this." ”
Xu Guangqi shook his head when he heard this: "Mother, the locust plague is just our speculation, and we can't do it accurately, if it doesn't happen, I'm afraid we will be blamed." ”
"But what if it happens....." Cao said in a coke voice.
Although the locust plague was just their prediction, Ah Yan's attitude today was abnormal, this child was different from ordinary people, maybe he could really sense something.
Xu Guanghua saw that the Cao family was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to speak: "Brother, why don't we go and tell the eldest sister and the second sister, and they will not listen." ”
After listening to Xu Guanghua's words, Cao Shi nodded straightly, "Yes, let's say hello and feel at ease." ”
After speaking, he seemed to ask Xu Qingyan for verification: "Ah Yan, did you say it?" ”
Seeing Cao's anxious eyes, Xu Qingyan could understand her feelings, but she also agreed with the uncle's words, this kind of thing is not necessarily, one is not good, it is indeed easy to attract complaints, but in the end, it is a family member, and it is reasonable to say hello.
"Well, just say hello, as for what they do, it's none of our business."
Xu Guangqi and Xu Guanghua couldn't care about being tired at the moment, and went to their two sisters' houses separately to report the news.
Seeing this, Wu hurriedly got up and said, "Mother, I'll go back to my mother's house and say it." ”
Hu Shi also followed: "Then I'll go back and say it." ”
Cao Shi nodded: "Go, be careful on the road, stay there for one night tonight, don't rush back." ”
"Hey." The two of them responded in unison.
Xu Qingyan thought that there were only two old people in her grandmother's house, and her grandfather's leg was injured and he couldn't move, so if she really had to harvest the crops overnight, she could harvest them faster if she went to help.
