Chapter 30: The Harvest

On the second day, the two got up early in the morning to settle the room fee and returned to the county. Gan Sui went to the county office first, and Lin Xianling had breakfast, and when he saw him, he hurriedly let him into the inner hall.

"Well, did you find the shop?"

Lin Xianling has always been a good person, and Gan Sui did not hide it and told him the truth directly.

Lin Xianling was stunned for a long time before he said: "This is really a strange fate, I can get Master Shen's blue eyes, and the future of entering his door is limitless." ”

"I would also like to thank you for your support along the way. If Ling Gongzi is willing to go to the city to study, Gan is also willing to communicate with him. ”

"Willing to be willing, how could he be unwilling." How to say this, it's like a genius who is willing to tutor scumbag students, even if he doesn't know what he can learn, but he always feels that he can benefit a lot.

"Then it's a lot of work for my nephew, my son's qualifications, I don't expect him to go to Yunyin Academy, but the Qingshan Academy next to it is also very good, it is strictly managed there, spend more money to let him in, and trouble the nephew is pointing out when he is resting."

"That's natural. Humble Jing and I are going to move into the city in a few days, and then we will come back to find our son. ”

"Eh, I heard that you are going back to harvest rice this time, let him go back with you, and they all suffer, so that he knows the preciousness of reading." As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring Lin You here.

"Brother Gan, you are simply the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering." Lin You held Gan Sui's hand and said movingly, Daddy lets me endorse every day, I really want to vomit.

Lin Xianling coughed: "Stand well, what do you look like when you move your hands and feet." You go back with your nephew, and they will harvest the rice in the next two days, so you will go and help. If I let me know you're idle, come back and beat you to death. ”

"No, Dad, I won't."

"No, you will learn, and you will see that it is not easy to do everything. The province knows to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, and fight cocks. ”

I don't have any.

Lin You looked at Gan Sui pitifully. Pitiful, helpless, and aggrieved.

Gan Sui coughed and said, "If the adults have no other instructions, the students will retire first." ”

Lin Xian Ling stopped, gave a few more orders, and waved his hand to let Lin You and Gan Sui go together.

Banxia came to the shop to buy a silver lock. There are many types of small silver locks, the styles are very beautiful, Banxia almost picked the eyes, and finally chose a tattoo with auspicious cloud patterns, saying that it can keep the child safe. Picked another collar.

came out and went to the fish shop, and the fish shop had already negotiated the price. Banxia just went to make an appointment, and after the two parties agreed, Banxia went to buy some things again, and then came to the city gate and waited for Gansui.

didn't wait long, and saw that Gan Sui was still followed by Lin You, and the two rode over.

"Why is he here too?"

"Xiao Banxia, don't you want to see me?" Lin You's face was injured.

"No, it's just that the rice harvest is hard and the weather is hot, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it."

It's not hot, Banxia has only been here for half an hour, and I feel that my back is all wet with sweat.

Gan Sui wiped her sweat: "Let's go back quickly, it will be hotter later." "It's not yet the end of the afternoon, and if it does, it's only hotter.

Gan Sui pulled Banxia on the horse and hugged her from behind: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you fall." ”

Banxia nodded blushing in Gan Sui's arms.

"Xiao Banxia is actually shy......"

"Shut up, you."

It was too hot, and there were no pedestrians on the road, so the three of them arrived at home in less than half an hour, so they handed the horse rope to Lin You and asked him to tie the horse, and took his things to the village chief's house.

Banxia hurriedly put the watermelon he bought into the well and chilled it, and washed his face with well water, Lin You collapsed on the bamboo bed all of a sudden, but Banxia was still busy cooking.

Lin You lay down for a while and felt uncomfortable, so he stepped forward to help Banxia choose vegetables, and Banxia looked at him approvingly.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Young Master Ben is also very diligent, okay. ”

"Yes, yes, you are right, Young Master Lin is handsome and hardworking."

"That's pretty much it."

Several people were very tired and didn't get any vegetables at noon, and Gan Sui found someone in the village to help harvest rice in the afternoon, Lin You was relieved, fortunately, he didn't need him to harvest rice. He's really super scared, it's said that there are blood-sucking bugs in the water, and you can't get rid of them once you get on them, it's super scary to think about.

"You don't have to harvest the rice, but you have to watch the rice dry. There is only one dam in the village where rice is dried, and too many people want to use it, so we have to go early tomorrow to occupy a seat. "Banxia has long been optimistic about the situation.

"I'm going home tonight."

"Don't worry, the prefectural magistrate said that he would wake you up when the morning comes." Gan Sui directly mended the knife.

"Let me die." Lin You is so desperate.

"Then you go back and memorize the military book."

"I think I can salvage it again."

On the second day, it was a sunny day, and I started waiting in the dam early in the middle of summer.

Gan Sui took people to the field to harvest rice, he was not the kind of person who spent money and directly watched others do things, he also went to the field to harvest with them.

"Does Xiucai Gong do this kind of thing, don't be tired." A farmer next to him persuaded him.

"It's okay, it's just learning something new." Gan Sui took the knife and began to harvest the rice like others. Although it was the first time to do it, the others taught it carefully, and they were willing and smart, and it didn't take long to get started. The other people saw that the master was working so hard, and they couldn't be lazy, so they all started to work hard.

There was a huge banyan tree next to the dam where the rice was drying, and he put the stewed mung bean soup under the tree in the middle of summer, and told Lin You to watch and not let the ants and insects enter, so he picked up a broom and began to sweep the dam.

It's still very early, and in order to grab time, they all start to hit the rice fields at the beginning of the hour. The broom looked even taller than Banxia, although Banxia

Lin You hurriedly ran over, "I'll come, I'll come, you go and rest." ”

"No, you haven't done any of this work." Since he met Lin You, he has actually helped a lot, although he has a flowery mouth, but his heart is very kind, Banxia and Gan Sui asked him to come to the village, all with the idea of letting him relax and relax, how can he really let him do any work.

Lin You snatched the broom hard, and swept the ground stiffly but meticulously.

As soon as the two of them swept the ground, someone picked the grain, one was a farmer, and the other was Gansui.

Banxia saw that Gan Sui's legs and arms were cut by rice leaves with many small wounds, and there was a leech on his calf that was lying on his stomach sucking blood, Banxia hurriedly scraped the leech off with a knife and pressed it with a stone to expose it to the sun.

took a handkerchief and wiped Gansui's face.

"Why are you going to cut rice, aren't you enough, it's okay to collect two more days, you see......" Banxia was distressed.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just an experience of life. Don't worry, I know how to measure. Gan Sui comforted Banxia, and wanted to touch her head, but there was still grain ash on her hands, so she just did it.

Banxia saw that Gan Sui didn't listen and couldn't do anything, so he handed the mung bean soup and salt water to Gan Sui and another farmer, and the two poured the rice on the dam, drank the water and went to the field.

The piles of rice that had fallen down were wet and heavy, and Banxia used a rake to push them apart little by little, spread them thinly on the dam, and then used a basket rake to hold the straw inside in one place and throw it out. Lin You also followed her example. Start drying the paddy. When the two of them dried the first batch of rice, the sun had completely begun to show its heat, and Banxia looked at the sky and smiled with satisfaction. "If it doesn't rain today, it is estimated that the moisture will be dried in a day. Re-dry it again tomorrow and you can collect it. ”

"Today I just realized that it is not easy to harvest rice."

"We're all doing the easiest job, and it's really tiring to be willing to do it."

As he was talking, someone brought rice from behind, and Banxia hurriedly handed over the water again.

About mid-morning, Banxia looked at the sky and said to Lin You: "I'm going to go back and make some food so that they can eat some when they rest later, you watch here." ”

"Okay." Lin You responded, while taking a small wooden stick to drive away the little birds that came to steal food.

Banxia went home and cooked a big pot full of mash rice balls and eggs, and then beckoned a few people to come back and eat for a while.

The materials used in Banxia are very sufficient, and the silver is also very surplus, and several people work hard, but most of the day all the rice is brought back and dried on the field.

Among them, two brothers were very moral, and when it was time to harvest rice in the evening in Gansu and Banxia, they came to help harvest the rice together.

Gan Sui inquired, the two brothers were quite miserable, their parents died, they depended on each other, grew up eating hundreds of meals, and later guarded the old house and a few acres of land left by their parents to barely support themselves. They are all very honest and honest people.

Banxia thought that their fields would definitely not be able to be planted by themselves in the future, so he discussed with Gan Sui to rent them to the two brothers, but he only collected a little rent. How could the two brothers have thought that there is such a good thing, the land is extremely important in these years, if it is not a close relative, the land will be rented at a high price, and it is a great kindness to them that they are willing to give them the land at a low price.

The two brothers are not ungrateful people, they went back that night and caught two pheasants in the woods, and sent them to Gansui's house the next day. Banxia really couldn't laugh or cry.

Lin You participated in the rice harvest for the first time, and the rice ashes stuck to his body were really uncomfortable. When it came to the evening, several people harvested rice, he looked at Banxia and a weak woman in the small basket to carry it, naturally refused to stand still, and learned to pick like Gansui, he had never done such a job, when he went back to the horse that night, his legs and feet were soft, Banxia was also worried that he wanted him to stay and rest for a night before leaving, but Lin You insisted on going back. Banxia had no choice but to ask and ask him to be careful.

After taking a bath at night, Banxia saw that the skin on his shoulders was still worn by the flat shoulder, and he shed tears while rubbing the medicine on him, but Gan Sui didn't feel anything, he was so tired that he snored for the first time in bed.

Wait until the next day to re-dry the rice again, and then wind out the dry shell, this matter is over, Banxia looked at a large warehouse of grain and Gan Sui glanced at each other, and smiled, this is the first harvest of the two in ancient times, and maybe the last, because they are about to start a new journey.
