Chapter 105: The Wheat Harvest

After two days of sunny weather, it rained again, which made the stones in the hearts of those who were worried about whether this summer was just the rainstorm that had occurred two days ago.

After a few days of sunshine, this year's wheat harvest was finally ready to be harvested after a slower harvest due to weather and rain.

The whole Du family began to get busy, and even Du Yunda and Du Yunjie, who were in the town, planned to send one person back to help.

Du Yunnuan was enthusiastic to help, Du Yunyan took her to the back mountain, there is a bamboo forest next to the large wheat field on the back mountain, the Du family will come here to break bamboo shoots in the spring, at this time Du Liansheng waved a machete to cut down a few bamboos, cut off the branches and leaves, set aside the bamboo pole in the middle, and then tidied up the bamboo branches and tied them on the bamboo pole, which is a big broom.

He made two big brooms and handed them to Wu and Du Yunyan respectively, and the two of them immediately dragged the big brooms to sweep a large empty field next to them.

"That's our drying field, have you noticed that there is also a drying field on the edge of the field below our house?"

Du Yunnuan has always been curious about what that vacant land is doing, it turned out to be a drying field, Du Yunnuan stretched out his hand towards Du Liansheng, "Uncle, I want a broom too!" ”

Du Liansheng made a small broom for Du Yunnuan, and Du Yunnuan dragged the small broom to help sweep the drying field.

The heavy rain a few days ago brought a lot of mud and stones to the drying field, as well as the leaves and branches mixed in it, etc., which were difficult to clean up.

The next day is the official wheat harvest.

Harvesting wheat is hard work.

The Du family planted 30 acres of wheat, and the whole family had to be busy for several days just by bending down to cut wheat.

After the wheat is cut, someone has to pull the car and send it to the drying field to be exposed to the sun, Du Yunnuan can't cut the wheat when she is small, and the adults don't dare to let her touch the sickle, so they let her sit on the edge of the drying field, and when they see birds coming to peck at the wheat, they go to catch it.

This job is very easy, Du Yunnuan basically sits in the shade of the bamboo forest, and when he sees the birds falling, he runs over to drive them away.

The sun was shining on the earth, and in less than an hour, Du Yunnuan felt that his mouth was dry, and the whole person seemed to be in a huge steamer, which made people irritable.

She picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, and then looked at the Du family who kept bending down and bowing their heads to cut wheat in the wheat field.

Rice planting is hard, and wheat harvesting is also hard.

At noon, Li and Ruan Ying carried their lunch up the mountain, and everyone rested together, first went to the creek to wash their bodies, and then sat in the shade where Du Yunnuan was resting, ready to start eating.

Du Yunlan also came back to cut wheat, although he looked thin, his body was not weak, he lifted his clothes, and there were six-pack abs on his stomach, he was sitting in the shade at this time, and he couldn't eat when it was hot, so he took the kettle and drank it in one sip.

Du Yunnuan was distressed, under the pretext of wanting to relieve herself, she hid in the back and entered the system and took out the Weaver Girl fan, which was a sandalwood fan, she walked to Du Yunlan with the fan, and then fanned him.

"Brother, are you cool?"

Du Yunlan originally thought that such a big fan, what kind of wind could he fan, but his sister fanned him, even if there was no wind, he had to say that it was cool!

But before he could say anything, he felt that the wind was blowing from the ice, not only the wind, but also the slightest coolness.

"Little sister, this fan?"

Du Yunnuan smiled proudly, "Brother, haven't you seen it?" This is what I went to Lengquan County after I was rescued, and I went out with Sister Xie to see it. ”

Not to mention, Du Yunnuan really saw the ice silk fan in Lengquan County this time, and the ice silk fan didn't know what it was made of, the wind coming out of the fan was indeed cooler than an ordinary fan, naturally it was not as good as the Weaver Girl fan in her hand, but the Du family had never used the ice silk fan, so it should be no problem for her to fool around.

Du Yunlan really didn't suspect anything, he took the fan from Du Yunnuan's hand, fanned the wind for a while, and then began to eat with the rice bowl, and when he finished eating, Du Yunnuan began to eat by himself.

After eating, everyone lay down directly in the shade, closed their eyes and began to sleep.

Du Yunnuan helped this fan for a while, and wiped his sweat for a while, and he was very busy.

In the afternoon, they continued to cut the wheat, and when it was almost dark in the evening, everyone rested, and Wu and Li Cui were already tired, so they said hello and went down the mountain, and the remaining men had to transport all the wheat in the field to the drying field.

After the family went back to eat, Du Liansheng went to the river to take a bath, and then rolled up the bed and went up the mountain again.

Du Yunnuan asked Lian Ruolan curiously, "Mother, where is the uncle?" ”

"Someone has to watch the wheat on the mountain drying field, otherwise it will be distressed if someone spoils or steals it at night."

Du Yunnuan was surprised, "Someone else steals?" ”

Lian Ruolan nodded, "Yes, at this time, it is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and some people don't even have a bite to eat, so they can't take care of it so much." ”

Du Yunnuan thought for a while, "But I remember...... Isn't the wheat harvest in our village late? I heard from you that the wheat of the lobby sister's family was harvested more than half a month ago? ”

The men in the family all went to sleep at this time, Wu and Li Cui were also very tired, so they had already gone to sleep, and those who hadn't slept looked at Du Yunnuan, who was more relaxed, and Lian Ruolan, Ruan Ying and Li who stayed at home.

Ruan Ying helped Li finish cleaning up, and the two happened to walk in together.

"Your lobby sister's wheat harvest is early, before the Dragon Boat Festival, let's go up the mountain a little later, but there is no rain this spring, and some people's wheat harvest is not good, and it may not be able to last until the rice harvest."

"There are also people who don't grow wheat at all, they don't have anything to eat, and they can make anything."

In the eyes of the Du family, Du Yunnuan has only woken up for less than half a year, to put it bluntly, it is not much different from a baby, she can learn so quickly and know so much, the Du family is already very surprised.

So no matter what Du Yunnuan asks, as long as the Du family is free, they will patiently answer her.

Du Yunnuan also carefully kept these common senses in mind.

Because everyone will go up the mountain to cut wheat at dawn tomorrow morning, they can't afford to get up tomorrow morning and cook slowly, so at this time Li moved his things to the hall, planned to make some cakes, put them in a cool place, and put them in the steamer tomorrow morning to steam, and when everyone got up, they could eat them on the road.

This will also save a little time, and you can cut a few more cuts of wheat in the morning when the weather is not so hot.
