Chapter 5 Grain Collection
As the two sisters were talking, there was a sound of chattering outside the courtyard gate. Then, a woman's voice came from the dark shadow: "Cotton peach? ”
"Who?" Mian Tao got up to greet him: "Sister-in-law? ”
Cherry followed closely behind Mian Tao, and also shouted: "Sister-in-law" while looking at the woman. The night was very thick, and I could only see one outline, a woman of average appearance, about twenty-three or four. It's just that her voice is very soft, with a warm breath in the dark night, which makes people feel comfortable and appropriate when they listen to it.
"Well, it's me. Sakura is here too, huh? The woman's voice was very low and soft: "Don't shout Mian Tao, I'll just say a few words to you, no need to call your eldest sister out." ”
"Oh," Cotton Peach nodded.
Chengshi's daughter-in-law stuffed a cloth bag neatly: "Cotton peach, my father-in-law also knows what happened today." He specially asked me to bring me something to eat, no, just some nests, you will eat. I was afraid that someone would make up nonsense when I came to send them during the day, so I came at night. Don't push me around, get into the house and don't let anyone see me. ”
"Sister-in-law......"
"Shh Chengshi's daughter-in-law interrupted what Mian Tao was about to say, and said softly: "Good Mian'er, you are a smart baby, you must know what this is." But don't let your eldest sister know, and don't tell her that I gave her this nest. I know that there was a matchmaker at your house yesterday, if she wants to respond, you let her respond, and ask her to make up her own mind about her affairs, and don't let her feel sorry for these nests. It's just a few nests, and it's nothing to put in ordinary people's homes, so don't take it to heart. ”
"Sister-in-law, I know. But ......"
"Shh!!h Chengshi's daughter-in-law interrupted Mian Tao's words again: "Don't talk, hurry into the house, don't let people see it." My sister-in-law is gone. As he spoke, the figure disappeared into the dark shadow, and there was another sound of screaming, and the person walked away.
"Third sister, what does this mean?" She didn't understand it a little, but she also understood it a little, but she didn't understand it very well.
Mian Tao threw a roll of her eyes: "Child, don't ask nonsense!" He turned around and carried the cloth bag into the house.
I don't know what Mian Tao told Star Fruit, Star Fruit didn't ask about Wotou, and even agreed to collect grain.
Since you want to do it, you naturally have to do it as soon as possible. If the grain is fully ripe in a few days, the village will harvest it, and the third aunt's family will collect the grain, they will really stare dryly.
That night, the five sisters decided to do this before dawn tomorrow.
However, although there is not much grain on two acres of land, it is difficult for the five sisters to harvest it in a short time. And this is a business that offends people, and I'm afraid I can't ask the people in the village for help.
Star fruit and cotton peach discussed, and wanted to ask the uncle of Kitato Village to help.
The five sisters have two uncles in Kitado Village. The uncle is good to the five sisters, but it is a pity that his family has five sons, five mouths for eating, and he is very poor, so he can't help the five sisters in terms of food. But if you're here to work, you should be fine.
As for the second uncle, there is no need to think about it, and he doesn't even need to ask, he will definitely not come. Including the two sons, both of them are calculating people.
In addition to the two uncles, the five sisters also have an aunt who is married in Shuanghe Village. It's just that she is a daughter-in-law, and she can't be the master of everything, so don't embarrass her.
Carambola decided to go to her uncle's house in Beihu Village with Mi Tao that night, and told her about it, so that she would take back the grain early in the morning, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Beihu Village is not close to Xiaomiao Village, and there is a Qujia Village in the middle. The two female dolls, star fruit and rice peach, ran so far in the middle of the night, and the cherry was not at ease. I went next door and called Runsheng, and accompanied the two sisters to go on a trip.
Runsheng is the only child in the family, and his parents are both enlightened people, so he generally does not control his son's behavior much. Before Yue Gui's death, he had a good relationship with Runsheng's parents. So I heard that I was going to help the five sisters next door, and Runsheng's parents agreed without saying a word.
Runsheng accompanied star fruit and Mi Tao to Beihu Village, and when he came back, he discussed with the five sisters that he would ask for leave and come to help tomorrow. The star fruit refused to live or die, and after a long time, he went back to his yard in a huff.
Early the next morning, when Cai Yin was in the right place, the eldest uncle He Da took his five sons to carry tools and pull a borrowed cart.
The sisters got up at the beginning, and by this time they had already eaten breakfast and were ready to clean up. As soon as the uncle arrived with his cousins and cousins, a group of about a dozen people quietly left the hospital and walked to the fields.
The fields were planted with sweet potatoes and corn, which were planted by Yue Gui before his death. Now that the corn is ripe, most farmers are willing to leave it in the field to dry before harvesting. The sweet potatoes were harvested earlier at this time, and the potatoes were not as big as after the frost, nor as sweet as after the frost. But that can't be helped, a little bit is better than nothing.
When I arrived at the place, it was still dark, there was no one in the field, and it was very quiet.
He Da took his sons to the sweet potato field, silently pulled up his trouser legs, and raised the shovel.
Carambola took her sisters and carried cloth bags into the cornfield. When the corn is ripe, the oranges have long become dry and fragile, and the corn cob will come down as soon as it is broken.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, several people quickly harvested the abundant crops in the field.
**************************
"Lizhen, take this money to buy some candied fruit at the small store in the village, and bring some eggs by the way." I got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, Yue Ji's daughter-in-law Ding Juhua took out fifty yuan, handed it to her eldest daughter Yue Lizhen, and said generously: "Don't you want silk flowers, the rest of the money will be yours." ”
"Thank you, mother!!" Yue Lizhen took the money and said happily: "Don't you need to buy some food by the way?" ”
"No, you don't." Ding Juhua showed a triumphant smile: "The crops in the field should be harvested in another ten days, our family now has four acres of grain, and the two acres of crops just bought are growing well, and there is no need to pay rent, and there is enough to eat." ”
"Hey!!" Yue Lizhen ran out happily.
"Hey~~Yo~~The flowers on the mountain are red~~" Ding Juhua hummed a small tune, and turned around and entered the house in a good mood.
As soon as the feet were lifted and they had not yet fallen, there was a sound of 'coo dong coo' running outside the courtyard, with the fuss of Wang Dani, the eldest daughter of Wang Mancang next door: "Aunt Yue Ji~ Aunt Yue Ji, it's not good, it's not good~"
"What's the matter, all the fuss, the panic?" Wang Mancang is the son-in-law, he was originally a foreigner, and he is a fellow villager with Ding Juhua, so the relationship between the two families has always been very good. It's just that Ding Juhua looks down on Wang Mancang's two daughters. One babbles and stammers all day long, while the other is ugly and stupid, dull and uncomfortable to look at.
"Auntie...... Whew, whew...... Aunt ......" Wang Dani bent over, panting breathlessly for a while, before intermittently: "That...... That, the two acres of land of Yue Carambola's family, that ...... That ......"
"That's my family's land now!!" Ding Juhua stomped her feet: "Which one is it?" Dani, can you not stutter? ”
Wang Dani glared: "I, I ......"
"Gotta get it, you hurry up and talk about it, what's wrong with that place?" Ding Juhua suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The earth, the earth, the grain of the ground...... The grain was called Yue Star Fruit and brought people to collect it!! Wang Dani was so anxious that her face turned red, but the more anxious she became, the more she stammered: "You, you, you...... You go and take a look......"
"Shima?" Ding Xiaoju raised her tune, picked up the hoe at home, shouted out the youngest daughter of the family to call her father, and asked the youngest son to stay at home, so she turned around and trotted with Wang Dani to the field in the west of the village. While running, he turned around and asked Dani, "When did you know?" ”
"I, I, I ......"
"How many people did she bring? How much have you collected and how much is left? ”
"That, that, that......"
"Oops, okay, shut up!!" Ding Juhua glared at Dani fiercely, turned her head and concentrated on running.
Dani glared in disbelief. What's annoying, isn't it just a stammering point? If I hadn't run home to report to you, you wouldn't know what year or month you would have known about it, and when you knew, the grain would have been dried.
"Oh my God!!" When I ran to the field, I saw the bare ground, the grain was cleanly harvested, and even the corn, oranges, and sweet potato vines were pulled out and pulled away. Now the fields are bare, and there is not even a single figure.
Ding Xiaoju suddenly collapsed on the ground. After being stunned for a long time, he was able to react, and scolded again: "Kill a thousand knives~~"
