Chapter 67 Wheat-threshing, Ordinary Labor

Through the hard work and sincere unity of all the villagers, the grain was harvested within three days. The two threshing fields were piled with yellow wheat, like hills.

In this scorching summer day, the villagers braved the scorching sun, and some of them had a lot of blisters on their bodies, but they did not hesitate to do so. Harvest is joy.

The heat of the fight began, and the wheat was spread out on the ground, and after turning it over a few times, it could be crushed. Turning over a technical job, the whole body is moving, especially the strength of the arms and waist. In order to atone for his crimes, Ma Zhongchu behaved well in front of the villagers, but after all, he was weak, and after eight hours of work, he was out of breath, soaked with sweat, and squatted on the ground and couldn't get up.

Land Rover and Ma Zhongchu, as the only two young strong men left in the village, naturally had to share more physical work. Not to mention respecting the old and loving the young, at least they must win the favor and reputation of the villagers in order to win the hearts of the people.

After lunch, the wheat is milled. The cattle are led around, and the stone is rolled around the wheat, and after the rolling, the main event comes, which is to use the falling basket to hold the wheat straw, and also use the big fork to turn over, called "up and down", this set of procedures is continuous, in order to separate the wheat grains, wheat straw and wheat bran. Then the legendary lifting field is carried out, and the mixture is thrown into the air with a wooden shovel and other tools, and the wheat straw and wheat bran are blown away by the wind, and the wheat grains sink down, and the completion is done.

There are no modern means in Lujia Village, and the wheat-threshing method created by the ancestors thousands of years ago is still like the sun rising and the moon setting. Land Rover understands that no matter when, food is the most practical and classic sentence. Now that it is the end of the world, these wheat grains will be collected in warehouses and distributed according to needs, and the collectivist mode is officially opened.

However, what collectivism fears most is centralization. It is clear that the village chief is a direct competitor to Land Rover and a ticking time bomb. After the Land Rover punished the kidnappers, the village chief was even more murderous, and the Land Rover had to be on guard at all times.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the village chief is busy burying the abductors, and there should be no conspiracy to carry out.

At this moment, Land Rover and Ma Zhongchu each held a tool in their hands, threw the wheat mixture into the air, and with the help of the east wind, the wheat straw and wheat bran were blown up, and the two of them were covered with crumbs, and they were very happy.

After two hours of work, it's time to take a break.

Sophie came with a wooden bucket of clear well water, and Jiang Xiaowen handed a gourd ladle to Land Rover. Land Rover scooped up the water and drank it, his lungs were cool, and the fatigue disappeared immediately.

"Where's Guo Huiya?" Land Rover asked with concern as he drained the water from the scoop.

"Sleep well!" Jiang Xiaowen replied, "After she finished eating, didn't she say that she was going to have a beauty sleep!" ”

"One slept all afternoon," Land Rover wondered, "Shouldn't it be heat stroke?" ”

"Humph!" Jiang Xiaowen was dissatisfied: "Why does my brother care so much about Guo Huiya?" ”

"Hehe, maybe a leg!" Sophie guessed with a sneer.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are pure teammates," Land Rover explained: "Every player, I will care, we are a big family, you know?" ”

"Well, it's up to you," Sophie said with a helpless expression, spreading her hands, "Then do you care about another team member who hasn't heard from him since yesterday?" ”

"Who?!"

"It's Lele!" Jiang Xiaowen said: "That little guy, I really don't know where to run, I'm afraid of losing it." My sister and I went out to look for it last night and didn't find it. ”

"I'm dizzy! I thought you weren't hearing from anyone, it turned out to be a dog. Land Rover said lightly: "It's okay, the animal's vitality is very tenacious, maybe it's flirting with another female little wild dog at this time......"

"Brother! If you don't know, don't talk nonsense! Jiang Xiaowen said angrily: "Lele is as pure as me!" ”

"Okay, okay," Land Rover said, "I'm wrong, Lele might sleep in some bush, happy, right?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

This is, a villager who smoked dry tobacco coughed a few times and said lightly: "Speaking of puppies, when I went to the root of the mountain to mow the grass this morning, I saw one, and I have never seen that breed." ”

"Isn't it a brown curly-haired dog, especially cute?" Jiang Xiaowen hurriedly asked.

"yes."

"That's my Lele, uncle, where did you see it?"

"At the foot of the East Mountain."

"How's it going, is Lele in good spirits?"

"It's spirited!" The uncle continued: "When I saw the dog, it was riding a female dog......"

"This ......"

Land Rover couldn't hold back a laugh, hugged the embarrassed Jiang Xiaowen into his arms, smelled the dripping sweat on her body, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, when the field is over, I will take you to Lele." ”

"Hmmm! Well, my brother is not allowed to lie to me! ”

Ma Zhongchu, who was also sitting under the big tree, seemed to have been drained of his soul, his face was red from exhaustion, his strength was weak, and he was in a puddle of mud, and he didn't even have the strength to drink water.

When many villagers saw Ma Zhongchu's appearance, they suspected that he was a man with kidney deficiency.

The magpie in the tree made a nice call, but a bird dropping fell and smashed on Ma Zhongchu's forehead with a bang. When the villagers saw it, they laughed one after another, and the scene was infinitely joyful.

"Sister! Damn! Ma Zhongchu was so tired that he didn't even want to wipe the bird feces on his head, and complained: "It's really unlucky for people to stuff their teeth when they drink cold water!" ”

Suddenly, a gentle voice came:

"Come, let me wipe it for you......"

It turned out to be Snow Lotus, she was here to bring water to the villagers, after seeing Ma Zhongchu being smashed by bird droppings and being ridiculed by everyone, she kindly took out a flower handkerchief, silently came to Ma Zhongchu's side, and squatted down to help him wipe it.

"Thank you, thank you......" Ma Zhongchu was so moved that his voice trembled.

It is often this kind of attention to small details that can touch a person's heart the most. What's more, Ma Zhongchu had a good impression of Xuelian yesterday, and thought about how to repay her for not pursuing the stealing of the matter, but I didn't expect that Xuelian repaid her grievances with virtue today, this kind of tolerant, fraternity and understanding little daughter-in-law, with the charm of a young woman, and her appearance is so symbolic, how can Ma Zhongchu not fall in love with her completely?

Maybe Xuelian's husband had been bitten to death by zombies when he was working in other places; Perhaps her husband is on his way to Lujia Village...... However, Ma Zhongchu couldn't take care of so much, he made up his mind to chase Snow Lotus and become a doomsday dependent. From a 'Li' control to 'underwear control' to a goddess control, and now a 'wife' control, as he grows older, more and more mature, and his taste is getting heavier and heavier, Ma Zhongchu has completed another transformation in his life.

"It's so fragrant...... Handkerchief ......" Ma Zhongchu sniffed deeply at the faint fragrance of soap powder on the handkerchief, and only felt that Xuelian's docile and well-behaved eyes seemed to reveal a true love that only the two of them could understand.

"I really embarrassed you yesterday," Xue Lian chuckled as she wiped it, her rosy lips spit fragrant, her snow-white teeth were as charming as white jade, Ma Zhongchu suddenly wanted to turn into a small moth, hide between Snow Lotus's sacred teeth forever, greedily suck that fragrant saliva every day, and secretly live for the rest of her life. "Actually, it's a trivial matter, but I didn't expect those big sisters to make a big deal about it, hehe, I'm really embarrassed."

"Hey... I stole something from you, I should have apologized to you, and now you say this to me, how embarrassing am I! Ma Zhongchu was even more ashamed in his heart, but he found more and more gratitude in being forgiven and cared for. Sister Xuelian, you are so good! ”

"Hehe, what's good, you don't know me, why do you say I'm good." Xuelian's face was slightly red, she stopped wiping, and said: "Okay, I should go, if it goes on like this, people will be suspicious, saying that we are lonely men and orphans chatting happily, not serious or something, hehe, the people in the village like to say right and wrong." ”

"Okay, Sister Xuelian, thank you again."

"Oh, get rid of that sister, I don't want to get old. It's okay to call me Snow Lotus in the future. ”

"Hmmm! Saussurea! …… What a nice name......"

Xue Lian shed the last smile and turned away, the plump and twisted figure made Ma Zhongchu look in a daze and deeply intoxicated. Ma Zhongchu lowered his head, and was happy in his heart after seeing something, it turned out that it was the flower handkerchief that Snow Lotus had just helped him wipe the bird droppings, I don't know if Snow Lotus fell unintentionally, or if he intended to secretly send Qiu Bo. Ma Zhongchu quickly tucked the handkerchief into the crotch of his pants, preparing to quietly return it later......
