When these things are prepared, the big farmers go to the fields several times a day to see if the wheat is full. Isn't it time to harvest? Waiting for the most experienced one in the family to "okay, I can collect it", the work began vigorously.

Harvesting wheat, almost every household is all out of the house, before dawn has to move, adults cut wheat, bundle wheat, transport wheat, the old people and children will pick up ears of wheat, watch the field, watch the field is not to prevent thieves, at this time the thief will not come, wheat has not yet come out? What is the defense? It's birds, sparrows, chickens, gray magpies, flower magpies, all kinds of birds, they come in flocks, and it's absolutely impossible not to look at them.

In addition, you have to prevent the eagle from eating chickens, I don't know if the wheat is harvested, the rats and snakes are easy to catch some, in short, the days of wheat harvesting are particularly many eagles, and they are seen hovering at low altitudes every day. Circle after circle, the big and powerful wings are not clumsy at all, and they can stay in the air for a long time with two random instigations, but they are not idle, but ready to attack at any time, if you are not careful, it may swoop down and catch your baby chicken for more than n days, so watching the field is not an idle job.

When the wheat was received from the threshing floor, it was spread on the ground and milled, and it was the same as the milling field, but it was still taken with stones, and those who had cattle used their animals, and those who did not have them could only go to men. Pull the stone stone around the field, the sweat beads began to flow non-stop, and the clothes were soaked after a while, but they couldn't take it off when they were wet, Mai Mang was very prickly, and after taking off the clothes, he waited to be full of red, and then the stabbing was uncomfortable, and he could definitely remember it for a long time.

At this time, the peasants walked and ran, and they had to work overtime every night, generally lighting a fire, taking advantage of the faint light of the fire to grind the wheat, and the wheat that was milled out should also be collected in time.

It is not enough to finish grinding the wheat, there are still many wheat mangs in the wheat pile, and here it is called the surplus of wheat, which must be cleared out. The light one is lifted by wood, commonly known as "lifting field", and impurities are removed with the help of wind. As for heavy ones such as stones, they can only be inspected by hand. However, at this time, most of them do not have time and no manpower, so they have to wait for the time to grind the flour and wash the wheat before picking up impurities.

From the time the wheat seeds are harvested to the time when they are dried and put into storage, the most feared thing is rain. As long as you see that the sky is cloudy and raining, you can quickly hug the piles of piles, enter the house with those that are beaten, build the stacks that have not been beaten, and then cover several layers of thick straw curtains to ensure that the wheat is dry. If you are unlucky enough to encounter even rain, the wheat will sprout in the field or in the field, then this year you have to eat sprouted wheat noodles, blackened no, steamed steamed buns stick to your teeth, rolling noodles are not gluten, what to do is not delicious.

Although he doesn't have to work, as a conscientious and qualified landlord, Ye Yuan also goes out early and returns late every day, checking everywhere to see if the tenants are doing it properly and whether there are any difficulties that need to be solved. Yunxi followed and turned around, looking at the sweaty appearance, that is the true portrayal of the sweat droplets under the soil.

"Daddy, I have an idea, I don't know if I can do it?" Yunxi turned around, and I sympathized with these busy farmers, in the era of no machinery, farming was really hard!

"Oh, look." Ye Yuandao.

"I want to bring them water." Yunxi Road. This is the only thing she can do for a long time, she can't do work, one is too old, and the other can't help a lot, so it's better to send them some tea, quench their thirst, and talk about their hearts.

Ye Yuan agreed after a little thought, "Okay, Yunkai, you and your second sister together, you two will do this." ”

Yun Kai muttered unwillingly, "They will bring their own water, why do we have to bother?" ”

"If you don't do it, go feed me the chickens, and go to the vegetable garden to gather grass." Ye Yuan was unceremonious and gave him a new choice.

Yun Kai looked at Ye Yuan's face, it didn't seem like he was playing, so he had to get serious, compare it carefully, and found that it seemed that it was easier to deliver water. "Okay, but I can't lift much water."

"You don't need to carry water, I'll let Ye Xi set up a carriage to help you." Ye Yuan said with a smile. Although the children have to exercise, they can't get tired!

It's Yunxi and Yunkai who are working, it sounds very unreliable, but in fact, with the followers of the two, Yuanyuan and Ye Yong, it's actually not that difficult. There is a large pot for boiling water in the kitchen, there is chopped firewood, and the water is picked, just boil them with a little effort, and when the work of carrying the bucket is boiled, Ye Xi will help, so this job is completely competent.

When they got home, Yunxi and the others were busy. Yuan Yuan and Ye Yong are older, and they are responsible for adding water and filling water, and Yunkai and Yunxi are responsible for lighting the fire when they are old.

Yunxi thought that there would be anything difficult about burning a fire, and he was very excited if he had never done this job. Yun Kai also felt that there was nothing difficult, he played outside in winter, and often lit his own fire, which was very simple.

As a result, the two of them were sad, this earthen stove fire and a fire in the field are completely two different concepts! The two of them first filled in the ignited wheat straw, and then pressed fine firewood and coarse firewood on top, filling a hole in the stove. Then the fire was lit, and then, instead of the imaginary fire, only billowing smoke rushed out of the stoves, turning their faces gray, their eyes red, and tears coming out.

Yunkai couldn't stand it and hurriedly jumped. Yunxi was older in his heart, and he was quite calm, and drove Yuanyuan away who rushed to the rescue. I endured the smoke and pulled out the hard wood in the stove hole, and the smoke slowly dispersed. This is also because the firewood and wheat straw are very dry, and they can get up quickly, if they are a little wet, it is estimated that the two of them will not be smoked and blackened.

"I blame you, I have to ask for my own hardship, it's good to suffer myself, but if you have to pull me, I'm really angry." Yun Kai complained again and again, he had grown so big, and he had never been so embarrassed, so he was very angry. "It's just mud legs, isn't it the right thing to do? Why do you have to bring them water, you don't have to break their blessings. ”

"Yunkai, do you want to be beaten!" Yunxi is also on fire, why is this fart kid thinking so high? It's Ye Yuan, it's not as arrogant as him, right? It seems that this child is really used to enjoying himself, and he has read to the belly of a dog. Yunxi looked at Yunkai, and thought secretly in his heart, it seems that he must sue his father and let his father clean him up.

The angry Yunkai didn't know at all that Yunxi was thinking about how to clean him up, and he was complaining there, but in view of the prestige of the second sister, he only dared to mumble loudly, and didn't dare to shout.

Yunxi looked at him like that, and he didn't bother to take care of him, he boiled water by himself, Yun Kai saw that no one paid attention to him, and he felt bored, so he finally went to Yunxi's side to help. The firewood burned vigorously, and the water was quickly boiled, so Yuan Yuan and Ye Yong scooped hot water out and put it in the two clean wooden barrels that had been brushed. Then Ye Xi appeared on the stage, one in each hand, and easily carried the bucket to the ox cart.

When the four of Yunxi also climbed into the car, Ye Xi whipped and set off for the water truck.
