Chapter 107: Threshing

After sending away the shopkeeper Lin and them, Tang Zhian and Lin Qiu'er did not rest, but took the basket to their own field, there was always a omission when harvesting the crops, and their husband and wife had to go to the field to pick up those ears.

Fortunately, those people also harvested more carefully, and there were not many ears in the field, and the husband and wife picked them up relatively quickly.

When the people who were with them saw that their husband and wife had come to collect the ears, they all smiled and said, "Your harvest is fast!" ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Yes, we didn't expect it, thanks to the shopkeeper Lin and them." ”

Everyone in the village knew that when they saw them say it so calmly, they all envied it but didn't say anything sour.

Lin Qiu'er and Tang Zhi'an picked up all the ears in the field in the dark at this time, and the weather was still dark at this time, and it took them a lot of time to pick up the ears.

put all the ears picked up on the drying field, and then Lin Qiu'er went home to make dinner, while Tang Zhi'an cleaned up in the drying field, and when dinner was ready, Lin Qiu'er came to call him back to eat.

"Ah Zhi, it's time to go home for dinner."

Tang Zhian nodded, "Okay, this is coming." ”

He went to Lin Qiu'er's side and went home with her and said, "I have to sleep here tonight." ”

Lin Qiu'er didn't understand, "Why do you still want to sleep here?" ”

Tang Zhian looked at her and said: "It's like this every year, every family on this drying field has to come to keep vigil." ”

Lin Qiu'er glanced around and understood, although everyone is from the same village, this food is the most important thing in every family, and it is for this food for most of the busy half a year, so everyone looks at it carefully.

This grain has been on the drying field, if no one is watching, and some of it is taken away by others, there is no place to find it, so as long as the food is not home in the drying field, they have to watch here.

After returning home and having dinner, Tang Zhi'an was about to go to sleep on the drying field, Lin Qiu'er called out to him, "You bring the family's ox cart over, sleep on the ox cart at night, and then take the quilt at home, spread half and cover half." ”

Although the drying field is very dry, if you want to sleep on it, there will still be some resurgence at night, and it will be more comfortable to sleep on the ox cart.

Tang Zhi'an nodded, went in and pushed out his family's ox cart, he didn't take the ox cart over, Lin Qiu'er took an old quilt for him and put it on the ox cart.

After they moved to a new house, Lin Qiu'er made a new mattress and quilt, and the old quilt used by Tang Zhi'an was dismantled and washed by her, and after the weather was cold, if they went to the town to do business, the old quilt was placed on the ox cart to cover the legs.

Now that Tang Zhian is going to keep vigil on the drying field, he will simply take it out and cover it.

"You go to bed at night and lock the door of your house." Tang Zhian explained to her uneasily.

Lin Qiu'er nodded, "Well, I know, don't worry!" I'll definitely lock the door. ”

Tang Zhi'an finally went to the drying field, and after Lin Qiuer left, he locked the front and back doors of the house, and the door was also locked, and then he lay on the kang and prepared to sleep.

Although she didn't do much work today, she was also busy all day, and she got up early in the morning, so she also felt sleepy and fell asleep after a while.

When she opened her eyes the next morning, it was already bright outside, she hurriedly got up, the door of the house had not yet opened, and Tang Zhian had not come back yet?

She hurriedly opened the door of the house, only to find that her ox cart was placed at the door, and Tang Zhi'an came back?

It is estimated that he saw that the door of the house had not been opened, so he did not come in, and he must have known that he was tired yesterday, so he did not want to disturb her.

Lin Qiu'er hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and after breakfast was cooked, she quickly cleaned up the house and went to the village to find Tang Zhi'an.

When they arrived at the drying field, they saw Tang Zhian turning over their crops, "Ah Zhi, I'm back for dinner." ”

Tang Zhi'an looked up and saw his daughter-in-law coming, chuckled, put down the crops in his hand and walked towards her.

"Daughter-in-law, are you up?"

Lin Qiu'er nodded, "Why didn't you call me up?" I saw you coming home, and I didn't call the door. ”

Tang Zhian smiled and said, "I know you're tired, besides, when I go home, I will put the ox cart back, and then I will come to turn over the crops, so I won't call you at all." ”

Lin Qiu'er shook her head, she knew, no matter what she said, this Tang Zhi'an could always find a reason to convince her.

"You! I really don't know what to say, okay, let's go back to dinner! ”

After breakfast, there was nothing to do in their house, and after a while, they went to the drying field to turn over the crops, so that they could threshing the next day.

During the day, you don't have to go to the drying field to look at the crops, because there are a lot of people in that place during the day, and no one will touch the crops.

On the third day, Shopkeeper Lin and Lin Qiuxu arrived at Xinglin Village early in the morning, and Tang Zhi'an and the others were also ready early.

Seeing them coming, Lin Qiu'er hurriedly said, "Young Master Lin, Shopkeeper Lin, you are here, we are going to threh today." ”

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said: "Yes, we are here specifically for this, and we all want to know if your rice and fish farming will really increase production!" ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled and didn't speak, it's useless to say this now, and when the data comes out, they will naturally know that what she said is not a lie.

The group arrived at the drying field, and when this noble person came, the village chief naturally had to follow, so he also arrived at the drying field early.

At this time, threshing is used threshing barrels, the barrel is trapezoidal, the bottom and four sides are made of wooden boards, when threshing, as long as you grasp the root of the rice, and then beat on the side of this threshing barrel, the grain will naturally fall in this bucket.

This is a more physically demanding job, because it has to be thrown non-stop, but fortunately, the shopkeeper Lin brought people here, and Tang Zhian and those people alternated, but even so, their foreheads were still sweating.

Lin Qiu'er went home and brought a big pot of water, "Everyone drink saliva and rest!" ”

First of all, he poured it for Shopkeeper Lin and Gongzi Lin, "Gongzi Lin, Shopkeeper Lin, you drink water." ”

The two took the water and thanked them before drinking it slowly, and then Lin Qiu'er went to pour water for Tang Zhi'an, the village chief, and those long-term workers.

It was too hot, but it was a good thing for the people who were harvesting their crops, and the most feared thing at this time was the rain.

Therefore, even if the weather is hot, everyone has no hope of rain, but the work will be punished.

Seeing that everyone's clothes were already soaked, Lin Qiu'er thought to herself if she should go back and make some ice powder for everyone to eat, that thing would be more comfortable after eating!

As soon as she thought of it, she turned around and went back, it didn't take much trouble, it was done quickly, she brought up a basin of cold water, put the ice powder in it, and she quickly went to the drying field again.

The village chief has been by the side of Shopkeeper Lin, and he is talking to him at this time, while Tang Zhian is resting on the side, and it can be seen that he has just been replaced, and the whole person is still tired and panting.
