Chapter 6: Night Talk

When it was time for lunch, Zhang carried a basket and water to Ding Dashan and they went to deliver food.

Now that the farm is busy, every household has changed from two meals a day to three meals a day, and they eat all meals.

When Zhang arrived at the barn, there were only his own man and father-in-law in the barn, and the children were not there.

Knowing that the children were all in the field, he put down his things and shouted at the other side of the field: "Eat with sincerity, faith and righteousness!! ”

In the past two days, the adults in the family have been busy with the children and have not been idle, because of the heavy rain on the day of harvesting, many grains have fallen in the field and have not been cleaned.

Later, it rained for two days, and he couldn't go to the field to pick up the fallen ears of grain.

In the past two days, the ears of grain in the field have been almost picked up, and the three brothers have also picked a lot of loaches in the field.

Zheng put all the loaches they brought back in a basin and raised them, saying that they would wait for more than two days to make them eat.

Zhang's voice was not small, and he shouted many times, and Youcheng and they soon came back with the basket.

This time, the three of them also gained a lot, and the three of them together also had half a basket of grain.

In addition to that, they caught some more loaches.

"Go, go, wash your hands and eat."

Zhang watched the three mud monkeys hurriedly wave them to wash their hands, which was really dirty.

There is a ditch on the edge of the grain field, and many families are putting water in the fields, and there is a lot of water in the ditch, so it is still okay to wash your hands.

"Wow, mother, there is still meat to eat today." Youcheng's eyes lit up when he looked at the meat in the bowl, and there was no difference between faith and righteousness.

In the past two days, the family has been eating meat for several days in a row, and in the end, it is a child, and I feel very happy to be able to eat meat.

"It's useless, eat quickly, don't let Ah Gong wait for you."

Zhang looked at his lively son and thought about his family's heart, and couldn't help but rejoice that his child was very healthy.

Although this is not very authentic, what the mother wants is the health of the child.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how is the situation at home?"

In the past two days, the sun has been big, and the millet has almost sunned, and it can be taken back by beating it down with a bucket and basking in the sun, and the matter of food is almost Ding Dashan began to worry about the second daughter-in-law at home.

"Dad, I was about to tell you, brother and sister, she woke up."

"Really awake?!"

"I'm really awake, Dad, what did I lie to you?"

"It's good to be awake, it's good to be awake."

Now it's okay, the things in my heart are put down, and Ding Dashan also shows the first sincere smile in these days.

When the Wang family woke up, Erlin didn't have to keep guarding the side, so he followed his father and his eldest brother to threh the grain and move the grain back.

The grain in the grain field was almost harvested, and the people in the village began to ask them for help to harvest the grain, and many families lost a lot of money in this heavy rain.

You said that it would be fine if it only rained, but it was not only raining but also windy, and many of the grains in the fields were blown down and soaked in the fields, and some of them began to sprout.

Seeing such a situation, Ding Dashan was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know if he was right or wrong to harvest the millet in advance this time.

Yes, their family harvested the millet in advance, and it seems that the loss is not too big, but the recovered millet is also somewhat covered, although it is not broken, but it still has some impact.

There is also a daughter-in-law in the family who has such a thing, and in the future, maybe the second child and his wife will not be able to have any more children, no matter how you look at it, it will be a loss.

These days, Ding Dashan has been a little silent, and the person who was already silent is now even more silent, which makes Zheng worry when he sees it.

Half a month has passed, Wang's health has improved a lot, and he doesn't have to lie in bed every day, and our little girl doesn't have to go out every day to ask for milk.

Wang's milk is not much, but it is enough to feed our little Nina girl.

Because of her good food and careful care, our Nina girl's body has begun to become the same as that of ordinary children, but she is still a little weak.

But if it continues to develop like this, maybe when the full moon is full, it should be no different from ordinary people.

The family is also very satisfied with this situation.

Now, the children in the family know that their newborn sister is not in good health, and they don't make loud noises at home, so they are afraid of disturbing their sister's rest.

They are very attentive to their hearts, they haven't had children in the family for many years, and they are still sisters, they have three children but they don't have a sister, and they are rare in their hearts now.

It's just that their parents don't let them go to see their sister, for fear that their sister will suffer from the cold, so they can only let them watch it once in a while, and every time they owe it.

In autumn, it was the harvest season, and the family's millet had to be harvested after the bud grain, and the Ding family began to get busy again.

Except for Wang and Xin'er, everyone in the family went to the field to harvest buds.

Although the two brothers Youxin and Youyi are young, they can still break the bud from the bud rice pole, but the speed is slow.

Of course, the main thing is that the adults in the family are busy and don't have time to take care of them, so let them rest assured that they can follow, and I don't expect them to help much.

As for Youcheng, he is already half an adult, and a child of this age in the village can be regarded as half a laborer, so he has no intention of staying at home.

It's just that Youcheng is a little lazy, and his speed is about the same as that of the two of youxin and righteousness.

Now the benefits of having a carpenter at home are reflected, Erlin used to make a trolley for the family, which is much more convenient to transport things and can save a lot of effort.

And the whole family went out into the field with baskets and sacks on their backs.

At the beginning, the family broke together, and in order to be light, they all peeled out the buds one by one, leaving a few leaves for the big ones, and peeling off the small ones directly.

When they broke a lot, they began to divide two people to carry them home, which of course was left to the men in the family, and the women and children stayed in the field and continued to break the buds and grains for the back baskets and sacks for the sacks.

Ding has a large family and works fast, and in half a day, he has already transported two truckloads of six sacks and five back buds to his home, and there are a lot of piles in the yard.

Zheng counted the time and went back to cook, and when the meal was done, they asked them to call the people in the field back to eat, and when they came back, they also transported another batch back.

The Ding family's land is much more than the field, and the Ding family has a total of seven acres of land, but the land has twelve acres, which is nearly twice as much.

And I didn't find anyone to harvest the corn, but my own family collected it, and it took seven or eight days to harvest these buds.

During the day, they harvested the buds, and after eating at night, the family took advantage of the moonlight to braid the large leaves of the buds one by one, and hung them in the grain house the next day.

The grain room of the Ding family is no different from that of ordinary people, the grain room is located in the main house, and the main house has three rooms, one for Ding Dashan's two people, one for the hall, and the other is the grain room.

The barn had two floors, and the upper floor was only half of the room.

The middle of the upper part of the room is made of logs, and the beams are fixed with bamboo one by one, and the bamboo is covered with loess compacted, and the upper and lower floors are connected by a staircase made of wooden planks in the middle, which is convenient for people to take things up and down.

That's the rough idea of the granary.

The millet buds at home are packed in sacks one by one and placed on the upper floor, but a layer of bamboo mats made of bamboo strips is laid on the ground to prevent moisture.

The lower layer also used bamboo strips to hang three or four pine poles, which were used to hang bacon and braided buds.

In addition, there are two or three large wooden shelves on the lower level, which is also convenient for placing things and making them less susceptible to moisture.

After the bud grain is harvested, it doesn't mean that it will be completed, and the bud rice will be peeled off from the bud grain one by one, but there is no hurry, and you can get it when you have nothing to do.

The Ding family usually peels the small buds first, and the big braided corn is peeled when the family has nothing to do in the future, and this year is the same.

Another thing that the children loved was picking buds.

Generally, there will be some tender buds between the recovered corn, and these buds are not big, and the buds are also very thin, for these children like to take them to roast and eat, these buds are also a rare snack for them.

The adults in the family see that the children like it, and they don't have much to eat, so they all smile and watch them roast and eat, and occasionally they will bake two of them to eat, relax and relax.
