Chapter 302: Rice Harvest (3)

(Last night, Kavin, was going to jump off the building, and the chapter he owed, he made up for it when he wrote it in the past few days.) )

Zhao Fengnian was afraid that she would flash her waist, gently supported her with one hand, and held Kexin with the other, the husband and wife occasionally teased the child, occasionally whispered and laughed, blowing the dry and cool autumn breeze, looking at the harvest scene full of eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart, such a day is called happiness.

Zhao Fengnian sat for a while and went to the field to greet and walk, Caiyun Caiyue secretly saw it, and then ran over with the newly cooked steamed buns, the big steamed buns were white and fat, and when they were broken, the fragrant face, Rui Xue suddenly felt that her appetite was great, and she ate half of the tea.

Ke Xin sat in her arms, blinking with big eyes, and finally figured out that this white thing was delicious, and reached out to grab it, but was so hot that the three of them were in a hurry, and it took a long time to calm down.

Soon it was nearly noon, and everyone who was busy in the field collected their knives, put them in one place, and told the monkey-like boys not to move, and then they went outside the shed, drank a bowl of warm tea, washed the dirt on their hands, and smoked two puffs of dry tobacco.

Sister-in-law Zhang took a few little daughters-in-law to stir-fry vegetables in front of the stove, and Aunt Yun called a few juniors to help set up the board and serve steamed buns, because they would continue to be busy in the afternoon, so the lunch was very simple, only scrambled eggs with leeks, braised pork, stewed eggplant in sauce and pork bone tofu soup, with snow-white steamed buns, everyone was also very enjoyable.

A few experienced uncles shouted from time to time, asking the young students not to be greedy, just eat eight points full, after all, cutting rice is a physical work that requires bending over, and if you eat too much, it is easy to squeeze into your chest and vomit.

The descendants were very obedient, and after eating for a long time, they saw that there was still a small half of the braised pork in the clay pot, although they were full of reluctance, they also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and did not continue to eat in large pieces.

Seeing this, Zhao Fengnian said, "Let's take a break for half an hour, the work can't be done in one day, it's good to keep some stomachs, and at night the family has prepared ribs and big fish, and when the time comes, you will not be afraid of being uncomfortable." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of joy, especially those who were born after them, and they were already cheering, and they all said that they didn't have to rest, and they could go down to the fields and work again immediately.

Zhao Fengnian was not allowed, and in the end he dragged everyone to gossip for two quarters of an hour, and then re-put into harvesting.

The main family's tea and food are well entertained, everyone is naturally united, and the subordinates work hard, a hundred acres of paddy fields are harvested under the sickle of everyone, and they are all cut before the sun goes down, everyone collects the knife, and looks at the bare rice fields are also a little unbelievable, after all, when they used to help Zhang Dahu, these paddy fields will take two days to barely be harvested.

The older uncles smiled and beckoned everyone to go and pick up the rice piles again, and arranged for the young juniors to watch over them at night, telling them not to drink, and the juniors laughed and grinned.

The sky darkened, torches were planted around the grass shed, and from time to time the light-loving flying insects pounced in, bursting into a crackling sound, and the sumptuous meals and drinks were brought up, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, sure enough, they were all put in a large clay pot and placed in the case, and everyone was not polite, seeing that the elders moved their chopsticks, they threw off their cheeks and ate and drank.

Rui Xue was worried that the mosquitoes would bite her heart, so she hugged her back early, but a few children stayed lively, occupied the wooden couch, and did not need to put the table, directly put the steamed buns with dishes, and ate happily together.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone collected the sickle, and then carried the big wooden barrel at home to the ground, Zhang Dahe was taking a few people in the workshop to spread a large piece of linoleum on the ground, and when he saw that everyone arrived, he beckoned them to put the wooden barrel on the linoleum, and someone said, "Brother Zhang is still careful, so that the rice grains fall to the ground and it is easy to pick up, but it can't be wasted." ”

Zhang Dahe smiled innocently, "My stupid head, where can I come up with such a good way, it is the boss lady who asked your sister-in-law to send me a message, saying that it is necessary to arrange it like this, and the saved rice will be distributed to everyone, if it falls into the soil, it can only be cheap." ”

Everyone nodded, praised the proprietress for her kindness, and then separated the distance, put the wooden barrel away, went to carry a bundle of rice, pinched it with both hands, raised it obliquely to the right, and then smashed it the barrel wall, shook it, and beat it again, so that the rice grains fell into the wooden barrel, and when the rice seedlings were beaten clean, they were thrown aside.

The old woman, who had nothing to do at home and came to help, also called the children who were running around and playing to pick up the rice seedlings, found a spacious place, and smashed them directly with a stick, but quickly hammered a bundle.

In the fields, the ears are full of the sound of bangbang, sometimes together to make people's ears buzz, sometimes separated, one after another, like a symphony, everyone has a happy harvest on their faces, busy, shouting, laughing loudly.

A few children didn't know whether they were in a hurry to eat rice, or they were too curious, so they picked up an ear of rice and burned it in the stove, so they swallowed it, stuck in their throats, and their faces turned red.

Sister-in-law Zhang heard the movement and ran over, crying and laughing, "These leather monkeys, when they don't stop, can't help, and they scare people like this." ”

When the children heard what she said, they all ran away in a hurry.

Aunt Yun set up a pergola with her hands, looked at the more and more sacks stacked on the edge of the linoleum, and said, "The rice has been beaten down so much, why don't you go back and ask the proprietress that tomorrow will completely stop working, so you can steam some white rice for everyone to taste?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang thought about it and nodded, "The children are gluttonous, presumably everyone is also looking forward to it, I'll go back and tell the proprietress that the second aunt will take care of this place first." ”

"Go ahead, the proprietress is not a stingy person, and the custodian will promise to give up." Aunt Yun smiled and waved her hand, and Sister-in-law Zhang took off her apron and went all the way back to the village.

Ruixue is at home, pulling Niuniu to try on her new clothes, Caiyun's craftsmanship is excellent, the stitches are fine, and the patterns embroidered on the corners and cuffs are also very exquisite. Yingzi is even more skilled, the slanted shirt, the cut fits the body perfectly, and there are not too many cumbersome ornaments, but it reminds Rui Xue of those brand clothes in her previous life, and she also pursues such a simple and comfortable style, if Yingzi was born in that era, she would still be a master.

Niuniu loves new clothes very much, and every time she changes her set, she has to go around the house a few times to show her sister, and she doesn't take it off if she doesn't hear a compliment.

The two sisters were giggling and laughing, and when they saw Sister-in-law Zhang coming in, Niuniu was also close to her, so she jumped over and shouted, "My new dress, does it look good?" ”

Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and reminded, "Niu Niu, rules? ”

Niuniu immediately stuck out her tongue, bowed a little awkwardly, and then said, "Sister-in-law, do you think my dress looks good?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and squinted, took her hand and turned around, and praised, "It's really good-looking, I'm afraid there is no better girl in this world than Niuniu." ”

Niuniu grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and her thinking is straightforward, she was praised, and she didn't blush like other girls, but she smiled so proudly that she couldn't see her teeth, Rui Xue rubbed her temples with a headache, and the family knew her temperament, so she was afraid that she didn't care, but if outsiders saw this, they might misunderstand that this girl was proud and didn't know how to be modest. However, this truth is easy to understand, and in her selfish heart, she also likes this girl's frank appearance, just think about it left and right, and talk about it later.

"Niuniu go to the house and change out of her new clothes, you always run to the field these days, don't spoil the good things."

"Got it, sister." Niuniu smiled and hugged her clothes and went back to the house, Caiyun followed carefully to take care of it, leaving Caiyue to serve tea in the hall.

Rui Xue accompanied Sister-in-law Zhang to sit on the left side, poured tea for her with her own hands, and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, why are you back, but what's going on in the field?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang walked away just now, sweating, thirsty in her mouth, drank tea, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a few children are hungry for white rice, and they burned the rice and stuffed it in their mouths, and they almost got stuck." My second aunt and I wondered if we should steam some white rice for everyone to taste fresh. ”

Ruixue's hometown in her previous life was rich in wheat, and rice was rarely planted, so what she ate at home on weekdays was bought from the grain store, which also made her subconsciously think that the rice was eager to become rice as soon as it was cut from the field.

Of course, she was not stupid enough to think that there was such a developed machinery here as in her previous life, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, how are we going to turn rice into white rice here?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang has been with her for the longest time, and she is used to asking strange questions from her, so she opened her mouth and said, "Of course, I use a stone mortar to cook rice." ”

"Stone mortar?" Rui Xue thought of the small stone mortar at home that pounded garlic, and couldn't help frowning, "Isn't there any other good way?" It's so exhausting and exhausting, how long does it take to scoop out a bag of rice? ”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and clapped her hands, "How many years have passed, everyone is used to this kind of rice and millet." One person has been busy for a day, and he has half a bag, and he will soon be fine. ”

Rui Xue secretly calculated the harvest of the family, if it is all made into white rice, it will take more than 20 people to cook it for half a month, in this case, the original plan to save white rice is a little unrealistic, it is better to save more rice grains, and only eat some white rice for the time being.

"Everyone has been busy for so long, it is appropriate to entertain a meal of white rice, my sister-in-law looked at the arrangement of people to start scooping rice, and first scooped out two bags, enough for everyone to eat. Originally, it was said that white rice was used to pay for wages, since it is so troublesome, let's replace it with rice, remember to add a few catties more, don't let everyone think that our family is going to deduct wages. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang guessed when she saw her face, she must be worried about turning all the rice into white rice, haha smiled, "My sister is really a person who has not done hard work, what is there to worry about, after the autumn harvest, in winter, every family is an idler, as long as you shout a sentence, a bag of rice is finished scooping rice, send two or three catties to moisten your hands, and everyone who keeps it will come to the door to get the rice, and within a few days, the warehouse will be full of white rice." ”

Rui Xue listened to her relaxed, and smiled when she thought about it, although this time and space is not as developed as the productivity in the previous life, but the labor is also cheap, and the people who have planted more rice are not worried, their own family is only so one hundred and ten acres, how can they drill the horns.

She figured it out, so she changed her smiling face and sent her sister-in-law out.

Sister-in-law Zhang brought back the news that she was going to steam white rice tomorrow night, and the pot was immediately boiled, not only the women and children were happy, but the sweaty men were also grinning, white rice, even a good thing that can't be eaten once during the New Year, and it was harvested by yourself, I'm afraid it will be even sweeter.
