104: Wrapping up
It has been a month since Erlin was buried, and the autumn harvest is gradually coming to an end.
On the second day of Erlin's burial, the Wang family left, and before leaving, the queen mother left 500 yuan to the Wang family, which was the one that the Wang family returned to her last time.
This money is still very important to the Wang family at this time, and this time she owes a lot of things on credit and has not given money, and now she can pay it back first.
This time, Erlin's funeral owed almost three or four taels of silver on credit, two taels of credit for the coffin, one tael of shrouds, and incense, candles, paper money, and so on.
The rice in the field at home has not been finished, and the millet that has been beaten back has not been dried, and it is still piled up in the upstairs room to dry.
When the Wang family left, Wang took the sickle and took the two children to the field to harvest the remaining grain.
When Wang went to the field, he saw that there was almost an acre of millet at home that had not been cut, and the millet was already yellow, and if it was delayed, it would have to fall to the ground when it was touched.
Wang's sickles began to cut, and the family did not have enough manpower, so she used the soil method to cut all the rice and bundle it into bundles, carry it home with a basket, and then beat it with a bucket, but it took some time.
Youyi can also cut rice, and he follows Wang with a sickle to cut, but the speed is relatively slow.
Xin'er did not know how to cut the grain, nor did he have a sickle, so he followed behind and put the cut grain in the basket.
Niang San'er didn't work for long, and the old man Ding and they came, and the Zheng family also said to the Wang family: "Why don't you tell us, don't you hurry up." ”
Saying that, Zheng has already started to work.
"Dad, mother, you're tired a lot these days, go back and rest."
Wang looked at Zheng and Old Man Ding working together, and his nose was a little sour.
"Everyone is tired, but it's too late to harvest this rice, so let's do it quickly."
After a while, Kazuki also came with two children.
The strength of the people was great, and soon all the rice was cut, and Yimu and Old Man Ding also began to threshk the grain.
When half of the cut is cut, I'll go back to the bucket, and I'll get the bucket, and it's too troublesome to carry it back and fight again, and there are many things.
As soon as they threshed grain, the Wang family carried the basket to the house, and I have to say that the Wang family still has a lot of strength.
After harvesting the grain, it is almost time to harvest corn again, and the Wang family of the corn harvest is collected by himself with his two children, and the old house has his own land, and she is not less busy these days, she really can't help it.
Besides, this corn is different from rice, it doesn't matter if the rice is late, and it doesn't matter if the corn is a few days late.
"Mother, mine is full."
"Hey, okay, mother, I'm here."
On this day, Xin'er's family went to the field to harvest corn.
Since Erlin went, the brother and sister have become a lot more sensible, and they are competing for any work at home.
No, when harvesting corn, Xin'er also took a basket to break corn.
Xin'er is young, and she can't carry the smallest backpack in the family, although she can carry it, but she can't carry it if she can't pretend much, and she can't carry it.
However, Xin'er is also a smart child, and he fixed the back fence in one place, and he began to break around the back fence, and the corn stalk was too high to directly overwhelm and break again.
This method was laborious but also useful, but it required running back and forth, and during this time the rough corn leaves would accidentally scratch some thin, barely visible wounds on her face and exposed skin, and she could only see the red marks after a long time.
But, even so, we were very energetic, and she wanted to help!
"The heart is so powerful, I've received so much."
Looking at the back basket filled with more than half of the corn, Wang was a little sad and a little proud.
"But I didn't peel the skin."
Heart is a little helpless, this is also a helpless thing, she is too small, not much strength, it is okay to break the corn off the corn stalk, but it is too difficult and time-consuming to peel off the skin one by one.
"It's okay, it's already very powerful, and besides, it's okay to carry it home and pick it up, the leaves are just right to burn the fire when they are dried, and it saves the time to go to the mountains to pick up the pine leaves."
"Well, then mother, take this out first, and I'll break it again."
"Well, you rest for a while, don't get tired."
"Okay, mother, I know, you can go quickly."
After saying that, Xin'er ran to another place to continue breaking corn.
Wang also quickly carried out the corn that Xin'er had broken off and fell to the ground, and was about to send the back basket to Xin'er when he saw Xin'er coming over with two corns.
"Mother, give me the basket."
Xin'er took the back basket in Wang's hand, and soon got into the cornfield again in two days.
……
"Brother, brother, where are you?"
The land of the Ding family is all together, and when they stand on the edge of the ground, they can't see the people inside, so they stand on the edge of the ground and shout righteousness.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
Soon there was an echo of righteousness.
"It's okay, I'll come to you."
Xin'er followed the place where the voice came from, and walked for a long time before finding someone.
At this time, Zheng was carrying a small back basket to pick up corn on the corn stalk, and the back basket was already half full.
"Brother."
"Why are you here?"
"No, I'm with you."
I didn't say much, I found a place to put down the basket and began to break the corn laboriously.
As time slowly passed, the Wang family returned.
In this way, after the Wang family carried three loads of corn back and forth to the house, the family finally had lunch.
Lunch was very simple, last night's Wang's flatbread, some pickles, and a cabbage fried with three or four slices of bacon.
In this way, the three of them also ate very satisfied.
After eating, he didn't go to the field right away, Wang himself was fine, but the two children couldn't, they were still young.
During the lunch break, Wang peeled the corn with the skin that he had broken in his heart, and piled the leaves in the yard dam, and when it was dry, he put it away and made a fire.
After resting for about half an hour, the family continued to go to the field.
After working back and forth for about six or seven days, seven or eight days, the corn in the field was basically harvested.
The corn stalk in the field is optional for the Wang family, and the Wang family does not plan to ask for it, and when it is left in the field and waited for the next year, it can also fertilize the land when it is burned down, and it also saves work.
After the harvest, Xin'er brother and sister can finally rest, these days, her hands have been blistered and broken, and it hurts.
It's not that Wang didn't tell her not to go, just at home, but she didn't listen.
I don't know what's going on, since Erlin's accident, my heart has changed, I know more, I have more ideas, sometimes the Wang family has a feeling that the child is an adult when he grows up.
