Chapter 59: Autumn Busy

The soy sauce thing should have been done as soon as possible, but the family really couldn't make time, no, the time had come for the farmers to harvest the grain.

Farming is really busy when people die, every household in Shanshui Village, adults and children are not free, and the Zhou family is even harder than other families.

The reason is that the Zhou family actually has a lot of land, there are more than a dozen acres, plus the five-spice dried is to be made fresh every day, and the number will not be reduced because of the busy farming, so the people of the Zhou family are busy sleeping later than the dogs, getting up earlier than the chickens, and doing more than the cows.

Lian Duo is still in Zhou's house, although she also helps in Zhou's house, but she can be lazy, if she goes back to Lian's house at this time, she is so tired that she can't straighten her waist when she is busy with farming. So she stayed at Zhou's house and didn't go back.

Now every household has begun to harvest corn, the Zhou family planted about ten acres of corn, everyone carries the basket, first break the corn and put it in the basket, and when the basket is almost loaded, put it in the basket on the side of the road, the basket is full, then the basket is carried to the ox cart, and the ox cart is driven to the house.

Because the Zhou family has cattle, it saves a lot of labor and is much easier, and there are few families with cattle in Shanshui Village, and those who need to pick corn by themselves are very envious.

"Sister Ziyu, have the mung beans been boiled?" Zhou Ziya looked at the scorching sun outside, thinking about her family who was doing farm work, she was very distressed, and she wanted to make more money as soon as possible so that she could live a good life.

"Okay, I'm filling it in a bucket, and I'll put it in the water to cool in a while, and then I'll send it to them to drink." Zhou Ziyu replied while busy. In fact, when the farm was busy in the past, there was no such treatment, but now that the Zhou family is making money, and it is too hot, Zhou Ziya opened his mouth, and naturally no one objected.

Only Zhou Ziya, Zhou Ziyu, and Lianduo were left at home, because the corn was brought back and had to be dried, and Zhou Ziyu and the three girls were in charge of food and cooking at home.

"Hey, Zhou Ziyu, you lazy girl, it's not too early now, don't hurry up and cook, by the way, the meat should also be made into braised pork to be delicious." Lian Duo scolded, and there was a longing look in her eyes, she was in the Zhou family, and she had eaten meat three times in just a few days, and she had meat to eat today, which was also the main reason why she did not leave the Zhou family.

"Auntie, don't forget, grandma said that you stay at home to help with the work, if you don't do the work, I will tell grandpa about it. My eldest brother, second brother, third brother, the most annoying thing is the lazy person. What they'll do when the time comes, that's not something I can guarantee. She knew that this aunt was most afraid of her brothers, no, as soon as she said it, Lian Duo snorted a few times with hatred on her face, and went into the kitchen.

Zhou Ziya felt that the family was hard, so every morning, when Zhou Yanliang went to deliver dried spices, he would ask him to bring some meat and bones back from the town, otherwise he would work tirelessly every day and not eat better, so where would it be.

So although the Zhou family is the hardest year of this year, everyone is very happy, after all, there is meat to eat every day, there is bone broth to drink, you can eat a full meal, and even the Zhou family does not scold people, does not stare at them, in short, the other people in Shanshui Village saw that the Zhou family was so busy, and they still praised them with a smile on their faces. Then I saw that I was so busy, everyone else was thin, but the people of the Zhou family were only dark, but not thin, and they could often smell the smell of meat, and they all said that Zhou's reputation was very bad before, but this year it was actually wrong, and it got a lot better.

After the corn is harvested, followed by some miscellaneous grains, such as soybeans and sorghum, etc., and when these are all harvested, only rice is left in the end, but there are not many rice plants here, because you can only plant good fields, otherwise you can't store any water when it's not good, and the harvest won't be good. There are many people in the Zhou family, and finally the rice harvest was finished in autumn and dried in the sun, but there was not a drop of rain, and everyone said that this year was a good harvest.

If the weather is bad, during the autumn harvest, it rains, then the grain will really be spoiled, and it will be too late to cry.
