Wanshan Village, you can know the location of this village from the name, the village in Shanwan.

Wanshan Village is not big, and there are only forty or fifty households in the village.

However, the location of Wanshan Village is quite good, to the left is Linshan County, to the right is Dahe Town, and the distance on both sides is not much different, to the county seat is relatively far away, that is, the road is not very good, are small roads.

Since Ding Erlin left home, the Ding family has not changed much, and the family has not worried much, and this is not the first time.

However, it is the last two days after he left that Wang has been a lot free, she used to take turns cooking with her concubine Zhang, but now she doesn't do it, and she embroiders and embroiders in the house every day to make purses and the like.

In the Ding family, the daughter-in-law of the family collects the money for embroidery work by herself, and does not need to hand it over for public use.

Therefore, Wang and Zhang have a great passion for embroidery, and when they have nothing to do, they will use their own needles and threads to do work, and the two have saved some money.

However, needlework does not make money, unless it is those who are really good at embroidery, obviously, Zhang and Wang are not in that category, that is, to earn some hard money.

Moreover, they have limited time to do embroidery work, and they earn less, but they are very satisfied, many daughters-in-law in the village have to pay the money to the public, and even some families have to collect the dowry of their daughters-in-law, they are already very good.

The time for the autumn harvest is getting closer and closer, and Ding Erlin came to the news that there is still some time to complete, and this autumn harvest may not be able to come back.

The children in the family were still out of joy, but the adults in the family frowned, especially Ding Dashan, the head of the family.

The weather has been a bit hot and humid in the past two days, and there is a feeling of being breathless.

Ding Dashan knew that this was the rhythm of rain, and the rain should not be small.

It has rained twice before, but it was light rain and had little impact.

The rice in the field was already yellow, and according to his previous idea, he wanted to harvest it in a few more days, when the grain was yellower and then dried.

It's just that the weather has changed now.

Ding Dashan was a little hesitant, he had to go to the field several times a day, and sometimes he even stayed in the field and forgot to go home.

It's been hot and humid for two or three days, and I haven't seen any rain, and I don't know if it's raining or not.

But if it really rains heavily, the millet in the field will suffer, and it will definitely fall a lot in the field, and Ding Dashan will already feel distressed when he sees such a scene.

Ding Dashan looked at most of the millet in the field that was almost yellow, slightly greenish, and then looked at the bright sun in the sky, felt the stuffiness in the air, and made up his mind.

Ding Dashan, who came to the field, looked for a large bunch of plump and golden ears of grain, and finally selected enough grain bunches after a long time.

Except for the children, almost all of the people in the Ding family are at home, and looking at the Gu Chuan'er brought back by Ding Dashan, they all know that this is reserved for the next year's planting, and they didn't say anything, but the Zheng family asked casually.

After carefully putting away the Gu Chuan'er, Ding Dashan gathered all the people in the family together.

"Everyone has arrived, then I will say, I am going to harvest the grain tomorrow."

Today, Ding Dashan didn't smoke his own leaf cigarettes, and the people of the Ding family knew that there was no need to discuss this matter.

"I think it's okay, it's been a little stuffy for the past two days, maybe it's going to rain sometime, and it's good to take it back."

Zheng was the first to speak, she has also lived for decades, and she knows more, and she is a husband and wife, and she knows what her old man is worried about.

"Okay, listen to Dad, tomorrow will be tomorrow. It's just Dad, do you want to ask two people to help? ”

This is not surprising, the people in the village are also helping each other, today your family is working I will help, tomorrow my family is working you will help, commonly known as au pairs.

After listening to Ding Yimu's words, Ding Dashan was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll leave that to you."

"Dad, don't worry, I'll go find someone later."

"Well, let's all go down and prepare, the old woman will cook at home with the second family tomorrow, and people will have to provide a meal for others to help out."

"Okay."

"Got it, Dad."

The matter was decided like this, and after they dispersed, Ding Yimu went to the village to find someone.

They are not the only people in the village who have decided to harvest the grain tomorrow, there are two other families, but it does not prevent them from finding someone.

At dinner in the evening, Ding Yimu said on the table: "Dad, mother, I found two people, it's enough." ”

"Enough, old woman, you can watch the cooking tomorrow, and also, go buy two catties of meat, the food can't be too bad."

"Okay, I know, you don't have to worry about my errands." Zheng glanced at Ding Dashan with an unhappy face.

The next day –

Today's weather is similar to the previous two days, or even hotter.

In the morning, the day was just a little bright, and the people of the Ding family had already gotten up except for the children, and Ding Dashan and Ding Yimu cleaned up and went to the field with sickles, while the Wang family cooked and fed the pigs at home.

The Ding family raised two pigs, one was left for the New Year to be killed and eaten, and the other was sold to those who were in the pig business during the New Year, which was also a lot of income for the Ding family.

They don't have much money to make, except for the harvest in the field, they can raise some livestock, and they can earn some money by going out to work.

After dawn, Wang's meal was ready, the house was almost cleaned up, and the children got up, so Wang called Youcheng to call someone back for dinner.

During the autumn harvest, everyone's meals were much better than usual, just to give people the strength to work, and the Ding family was the same.

Usually, they eat porridge for breakfast, but today they eat dry rice and have one more dish.

While they were still eating, the person they were looking for had already arrived, and when they had finished eating, they went back to the fields.

This morning, the five members of the Ding family had already harvested two fields, more than one acre.

The people who came to it didn't say much about burying their heads in it, and the speed was fast when there were many people, and after collecting more than half of them, they began to divide half of the people to move the grain to the threshing floor.

The threshing floor is available in every village, but the size is different, and there are not many people who harvest grain in Wanshan Village today, and the Ding family can use it very widely.

Now is the time when the farm is busy, and the children in the family are not idle, even the youngest Ding Youyi has not let go.

Ding Youcheng was older and could carry the grain with him, while Youxin and Youyi picked up the missing ears of grain in the field.

Every year when it comes to the autumn harvest, there will be people in the village who carry meat to the village to sell, and this year, Zheng personally went to buy three catties of pork belly when people came.

When Zheng returned home after buying meat, his daughter-in-law had already picked and washed the vegetables, and after seeing that he didn't seem to have anything to do, he told Wang to carry water to help in the field.

Wang didn't think there was anything, her mother-in-law was already very good to herself, just cooking was not a big deal, and she had seen some people working in the fields when they were about to give birth.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang began to cook.

While she was cooking, the weather began to change, and it began to slowly become gloomy, but she didn't notice much when she was cooking in the kitchen, but the people working in the fields were different.

Ding Dashan looked at the change in the weather and became anxious, looking at the grain field that had not been harvested in half, and the movements in his hands became faster and faster.

The others who were left behind also sped up their subordinates, and there was less and less uncut grain.

At this time, it was obvious that the porter could not keep up with their speed, so another person was added to help carry it.

As soon as the weather began to change, it could not be stopped, and the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, and it looked like the rain was about to fall.

After only a small piece of millet was cut, Ding Dashan also went to carry the millet together, leaving Zhang and Zheng to continue cutting.

Before the grain was finished, it suddenly began to rain, and it was very heavy, like a basin of water pouring down.

With the arrival of heavy rains, the handling and harvesting of millet has become a problem, but fortunately there are not many left.

After cooking, Wang's heart was a little anxious when he looked at the pouring rain, he was tired of this work and suddenly rained, and he was prone to wind chills, and he didn't know what happened to the fields.

Wang waited at home for a while, seeing that the rain still did not have a tendency to go down, so he pulled a few pieces of ginger out and boiled half a pot of ginger soup, and waited for the people in the field to come back and drink it to prevent infection with wind and cold.

When he had made all things ready, he took out his hat and took it with him, and went out into the field with his robe.
