Chapter 412: Sixty Zero Raising Children 41

At the end of June, the summer harvest officially began.

The golden early rice is finally about to be harvested.

Compared to spring planting, summer harvest is really tiring.

Not only did he bend over for a long time, but he also had to keep cutting the rice in his hands.

After cutting the bundle, it is then sent to the edge of the drying field for threshing.

It is then dried in the sun before it can be put into storage.

This series of processes all requires people.

The so-called rush for the summer harvest means that they rush out all the rice before it rains.

Therefore, everyone went to the field collectively, first harvested the first batch of rice, and then divided people to threshing and drying the field.

Dongshu bartered some of the original owner's bright clothes on the trading platform.

Changed two pieces of linen.

It's not conspicuous, it's still the kind of deep sea blue.

Two short-sleeved shirts were made.

Particularly simple model.

That's it, according to the smart brain video, stitch by stitch by stitch.

Two pieces of linen, in the summer, it is enough to wear them differently.

One piece a day, washed normally every day, as long as it doesn't rain, it will be dry the next day.

As for the pants, the original owner has some thin pants such as black or gray, and they are also old coarse cloth.

Although it is said to be a little abrasive, it is okay and not eye-catching.

Otherwise, a new dress is too eye-catching.

If it weren't for the heat, Dongshu wouldn't want to get new clothes.

Fortunately, in the deep sea blue, you can't see the old and the new, and it's not as eye-catching as a white shirt.

Everyone's normal clothes also have this color, and if you look at it from a distance, you can't tell whether it's linen or old cotton.

And everyone will think that linen is old coarse cloth.

It won't be overwhelmed, and it's not eye-catching.

That's just right.

However, even if you are wearing such a cool linen, it will not take long for you to sweat after a while during the summer harvest.

The captain was afraid of heat stroke from the sun at noon.

At noon, they weren't allowed to work.

But even in the morning, when there was not much sun, I was sweating after a few swings of the sickle.

Unavoidable.

In the afternoon, it was even more severe.

The afternoon sun was very dry.

There's no time left, though.

We have to get it out.

Captain Han looked at the sky with a few veterans, saying that it was not good to be taken with clouds and rain recently.

Rain affects the harvest.

So, hurry up and cut it and put it away.

All of them were sweating in the paddy fields.

Dongshu was also in the crowd.

Although I don't want to be conspicuous, the first batch of rice must be harvested by everyone.

Even 8 or 9-year-old children like Daya were all organized.

You can't cut rice, but you can follow behind you and help tie the bundles.

The kids actually love the job.

Because you can also pick up the ears that have fallen from the rice field with you with a basket.

The captain doesn't think too much about it.

Not too much, and you'll be able to take it home.

But too much, you can't.

However, there are many children in the village, and the family divides a little, and the last one to get it is that little.

At most, it is not more than a pound.

The squad leaders stared at it.

I didn't think it was too much, so I let it go.

But the children were very happy.

Grain, fresh grain.

Although I go home and dry it, I may not even get a bowl.

That's also happy.

The children were happy, and it was easy to support.

Let the bundle be bundled, let the help do this, help do this.

The Red Flag Brigade has a lot of paddy fields, and the amount of early rice is even more.

Therefore, the summer harvest took six days.

Of course, this only refers to the process of harvesting rice.

Threshing and drying are not among them.

Dongshu only cut the first batch of rice two days ago.

After that, the strong laborers of the village went to the fields.

After all, it was too hard, and the women had already been assigned to the threshing or drying fields.

These also need people.

Most of them are women, after all, they don't need to make a lot of effort, everyone can do it, and it will be distributed to them.

The relative amount of work is certainly not as much as harvesting in the field.

From the third day, Dongshu no longer needs to go down to the ground and bend over and keep cutting the rice.

Instead, go to the threshing side.

This time, the original owner did not have the physique of Jiang Tiantian who did not tan before.

On the first day, I almost peeled off my skin.

Dongshu was taken aback.

I rubbed a little alabaster, went home and covered it with cold water for more than an hour, wasted an egg white, and painted my face.

Feeling that he couldn't be so rough, the next day, Dongshu found a brick-red turban from the original owner.

Wrap yourself up very tightly and go out the door.

The sunburn on the first day still has an impact in the end.

After the summer harvest, although Dongshu is not like many people in the village, it is dark and shiny.

But it's not as white as when I first came.

But fortunately, it was remedied afterwards.

Follow the example of the other women in the village and wrap themselves in turbans.

I finally didn't get too much sun.

Compared to others, Dongshu is still white.

However, there were two people in the village who did not get a tan.

One is Wang Qingmei.

Wang Qingmei has been wrapped like a zongzi since the first day she went to the ground.

I didn't even take off my headscarf when I was dying of heat.

Therefore, after the summer harvest is over, she is not considered dark.

It's still a little darker, but it's whiter than the others.

The other is Wang Shulan.

Wang Shulan was also tightly wrapped, and after returning home, she had to put on all kinds of potatoes and cucumbers.

After all, it's summer, and the vegetables grown in the self-cultivated fields are better, and there are more varieties.

Therefore, there are more choices at home.

Of course, because Wang Shulan used cucumbers and potatoes to cover her face, she was chased by her stepmother for half the village and beaten.

But the next day, I honestly went to work with my face hurt.

At the end of the summer harvest, almost everyone has shed a layer of skin.

Dongshu felt that she had lost at least five pounds.

The original owner was not fat, but thin, and after such a toss, there was no meat.

The big girl is distressed.

But there is no food yet, and there is really nothing to eat at home.

After drying the new rice picked up from the field and slowly threshing it herself, the eldest girl cooked half a ceramic jar of rice with the new rice.

The big girl's face was not good-looking, and she didn't dare to eat the dog's eggs.

"Mom, you eat." The eldest girl felt sorry for Dongshu, and she didn't let the dog move, and the dog didn't dare.

Although the rice in a semi-ceramic jar is really not much for Dongshu.

It's easy to eat.

However, the consumption is very small now, so Dongshu does not eat too much.

"Well, let's do it together." Dongshu picked three cucumbers from the backyard, patted them and mixed them with some salt, and served them with rice, which is actually very good.

A family of three ate a meal of new rice.

Then I took a comfortable nap.

As a result, in the afternoon, it began to rain heavily.

The summer rain came without any reason.

Although the grain is now stored in the treasury.

But everyone is still worried.

What if the library is not reliable?

What if something happens again?

In case of......

The villagers were very anxious.

Some old farmers who couldn't sit still even found Han Dayue's home and took the initiative to guard the warehouse.

We must not let the grain harvest go in vain.

They haven't handed in the mission food yet, so they can't share it yet.

Everyone has been silent for a long time, so they are waiting for the summer harvest to share some grain and have a good meal.

Therefore, there must be no problems with food!
