At the end of Shu Nuan and Shu Yumei's conversation, Qian Yang and Wu Huihong next to them did not come over to interject.

Shu Nuan looked at the two people who were getting farther and farther away, and after slowly retracting his gaze, he sat under the mulberry water to enjoy the coolness.

In just a few moments, her sideburns, which had been wiped with a handkerchief, were soaked with sweat again.

"Hoo ......"

When she took a long breath and moved her arms to look around, she met the smiling eyes of the person next to her.

Shu Nuan suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart for her grandmother's strange smile.

"Grandma, what's the matter?"

She wanted to say that if there was something, she should not look at herself with such strange eyes, but because the other party was her elder, she had to pay attention to her words.

And Wu Huihong looked her face up and down after hearing her active inquiry, and said very kindly: "Nuan Nuan, you see that Yumei is a few months younger than you, and she has a partner, do you think you should also find a suitable person?" You ......"

Before Wu Huihong could speak, Shu Nuan directly interrupted the other party's words.

"Grandma, I'm too young to think about it. Besides, I'm busy with business every day, so I don't have that time. ”

After listening to her words, Wu Huihong fell into a long silence.

After a long time, he nodded slightly: "Also, this matter is not in a hurry." ”

Shu Nuan didn't want to continue the topic, so she stood up and buttoned a straw hat on herself: "It's not early, harvest the rapeseed that was beaten in the morning, go home for lunch, and continue in the afternoon." ”

After hearing her reminder, Wu Huihong was really diverted.

"If you want to pack these up and bring them back by noon, you'll have to hurry."

The two of them did not continue to beat the rapeseed with a flail, but began to use a large sieve to sieve most of the shells of the beaten rapeseed, and then put it in a sack and pick it home, and then use a small sieve to remove impurities, and what was sieved out was rapeseed with full grains and full of oil.

The processed rapeseed is fully dried in the sun, and the excess water is dried, and then it can be taken to the oil mill to extract oil.

Now, under the scorching sun, the two of them hurried to deal with the rapeseed that was beaten out in the morning, and as for the follow-up processes, they had to carry the rapeseed back first.

"Aren't you going to clean it up?"

After a villager not far from the door greeted them, Wu Huihong hurriedly responded.

"You go first, and we'll go back right away."

As the others left one after another, the two of them finally put all the rapeseed into sacks.

Wu Huihong took the lead in picking up the burden and walked in front: "Okay, go home." ”

"Hmm."

Shu Nuan also carried the burden and followed closely.

Carrying the burden is a hard job, and fortunately she has a lot of strength, otherwise the loaded rapeseed really can't be shipped back.

In fact, people with slightly better conditions do not use flat poles to pick up rapeseed back, but use wheelbarrows to push it back.

Although the hillside road is not smooth, it does not affect the wheelbarrow. With a labor-saving way, you don't have to be brute.

"Huhuhu......"

Shu Nuan held the flat arm with both hands, and his breath changed rhythmically with the shaking of the flat arm.

It also takes a lot of skill to carry the burden, so that it doesn't take too much effort.

After resting at home for more than an hour at noon, the two came to work in the scorching sun again.

When the sun was setting in the west, all the rapeseed was finally beaten.

During this afternoon, no one went out of their way to come over and chat with them.

When Shu Nuan moved her sore arms, Wu Huihong reminded her while packing up her things: "Pack up and go back." ”

"Okay."

Shu Nuan replied and bent down to help clean up together.

However, the rapeseed that had been processed before had to be shipped back in advance.

And Shu Nuan hurriedly reached out and grabbed the flat burden after looking at Wu Huihong's tired face.

"Grandma, you wait here, I'll pick the rapeseed first."

Although there will be no one on the mountain who will secretly take their things, it is only relative, and there is no guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen.

After all, no matter how good the atmosphere is, there are always one or two bad things.

Wu Huihong is indeed tired in the busy past few days.

After bowing his head slightly, he said softly: "Slow down on the way down the mountain, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Don't worry, I know."

Shu Nuan smiled and left with the packed rapeseed.

After a few trips back and forth, all the rapeseed in the field was finally recovered. And Wu Huihong also brought some rape stalks back by the way, and they could be used as firewood to dry them.

When I got home, I couldn't rest immediately for the time being, so the wheat that was dried in the yard and the rapeseed that had been collected in advance had to be put away at night to prevent it from raining at night.

None of these things can be rained, and once it rains, it will speak, and good food will be wasted.

Before it was completely dark, the family had dinner, washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Because you don't have to go to the ground the next day, you don't need to get up early.

Shu Nuan slept until eight o'clock that day before getting up, which somewhat relieved some of the fatigue of doing farm work in recent days.

The sun was still very good today, and the grain that was going to be harvested in the past few days was taken out to dry, and several people began to be busy in the yard.

Although you don't have to go to the field, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Shu Zheming was assigned to guard the dried wheat and rapeseed to prevent the birds from stealing them.

And Shu Nuan and Wu Huihong are cleaning up those wheat stalks and rape stalks, which are the firewood to be burned at home.

Shu Nuan moved his neck, which had been buried for too long and was a little stiff, and asked the person next to him in a low voice: "Grandma, when are we going to plant rice?" ”

"Don't worry, the field hasn't been ploughed yet. When other families start planting rice, we'll be together. ”

Most of the rice grown here is rice, but there is also upland rice, but because of the yield problem, no one wants to plant it unless the terrain is really inconvenient to store water.

Water is needed to grow rice, and there are many people who quarrel and fight every year over who uses water first.

Shu Nuan didn't have much contact with the other adults in the village, so naturally she didn't know the twists and turns of this, but what she needed to do now was to wait for the time to help with the work.

After getting up and pouring herself a glass of warm water, she continued to ask the old man, "Will we hoe the land ourselves this year, or will we also hire someone to plow the land?" ”

In previous years, hoe by hoe was used to loosen the hardened soil, and when the water came, soak the water in the field, and plant rice in the paddy field.
