The Tian family is less idle in the month, and the people are busy in May, and the south wind rises at night, and the wheat is covered with yellow. In May, when the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, the wheat in the field gradually turns from green to yellow with the south wind.

This kind of crop is different from other crops, and you may go to the field in the morning to see that the wheat is still a little green, but it turns yellow when the sun sinks in the west. At this time, if you don't hurry up the harvest, the wheat can't bear the exposure to the sun, and it is too ripe, and the ears of wheat will fall to the ground "in a row" as soon as people greet them, and it will be troublesome to pick them up again.

"Are they all asleep and dead, and they don't get up and go down to the field to harvest wheat?"

Under Liu Chongshan's unusually "cordial" greetings, the three sisters rubbed their sleepy eyes, hurriedly dressed and got out of bed and put on shoes, without grinding at all, no way, they want to harvest wheat today, and the adults and children in the family are not sloppy.

"Dad, we're all up, take the scythe here and go to the ground." Liu Huanan answered, stood on the ground and knocked the soles of his shoes, then pulled up his messy hair, and took the lead in lifting the curtain and going out.

Liu Hongjube followed, holding a basin and a cloth towel in his hand, went out of the hall, first scooped a scoop of water into the jar, poured it into the pot and boiled it half hot, and then scooped it out and sent it to Zhang's house.

"Mother, you wash it with warm water." Liu Hongzao felt sorry for her mother and had to work in the field before she had been in confinement for 30 days, so she could only try her best not to get cold water.

"Mother, if I don't go and talk to my father, you can rest at home, and my eldest sister and second sister will go to the ground with my father." Liu Guiyuan combed his shoulder-length hair and walked a few steps to the back room.

"It's okay, my mother knows it in her heart, and it's not in the way when you go to the ground." Zhang's life is counted, she has sat for a total of twenty-five days in confinement, although there are still five days to complete a month, but the confinement food is good, millet, white noodles, eggs, and sugar are all available, and the body has long been almost raised.

Liu Guiyuan couldn't twist her, so he had to watch Liu Chongshan take the Zhang family and the eldest sister and the second sister out of the door, because she had to take care of the little lotus seeds at home, so she didn't have to go to the field, but she had to be responsible for cooking and picking pigweed.

Early in the morning, the peasants, who were busy harvesting the wheat, hardly ate breakfast, for fear of wasting time, but wanted to do more while the weather was cool, and then the sun would be poisonous.

Liu Guiyuan first went to the back room to see the lotus seeds, she woke up early, with a pair of round black eyes, Liu Guiyuan played with her for a while, and then checked whether she and peed, then folded the small quilt and went out.

Trotting all the way to East Lake, Liu Guiyuan could only use a kitchen knife to cut the grass, because the two shovels in the family were taken away by the eldest sister to cut wheat, while Liu Chongshan and his wife used sickles, a total of two.

Probably stuffed with a basket of pigweed, Liu Guiyuan half-carried the pigsty sent to the third uncle's house, and all his brains fell down, and the three little pigs he led ran out to eat.

After returning home, Liu Guiyuan started cooking again, they didn't get food in the morning, and this meal had to be made earlier at noon, and it had to be done better to eat at noon in the morning.

Scoop some white noodles first, add water and form a dough, sprinkle it on the dining table, use a rolling pin to catch up with a little bit of roundness, then spread oil and cut amaranth leaves, sprinkle some salt on top, roll the dough together and cut it into pieces with a knife, stick it on the hot pot on the kang, this is a meal with buns and vegetables, simple and trouble-free, and full.

Liu Guiyuan carried the basket of rice and trotted all the way to the field, first cutting two wheat fields in Beihu, and then going to Donghu to cut the remaining piece. When Liu Yao's family split up, a piece of land close to home was given to Liu Chongshan, which was the piece of East Lake land.

When they arrived at the field, Liu Chongshan and Zhang were cutting in front, Liu Hongjube and Liu Huahua were chasing behind, and behind them were bundles of cut and fallen wheat, waiting for a while to be pulled by an ox cart. The wheat field of Liu Chongshan's family is right in the center, the wheat field of the second uncle Liu Chonglin's family on the left, and the wheat field of the third uncle Liu Chonghai's family on the right, all of which are three, but Liu Chongshan's family only has two.

The weather was hot, the wind didn't move like death, Liu Chongshan and the others were sweating, their bodies were hot, dirty and stinging, but no one dared to stop, they all gritted their teeth and worked hard, extremely hard.

"Daddy, eldest sister, second sister, it's ready, hurry up and eat." Liu Guiyuan

Liu Chongshan answered, continued to cut for more than ten times, and then stopped to drink water and eat on the ground, and the other three also put down their farm tools when they saw this, and went to the cool and shady place on the ground.

At this time, the bolt of the third uncle's family (Liu Zhiyuan) heard that there was food, and shouted to the ground: "Uncle, what is delicious to cook at your house?" ”

His family had had breakfast in the morning, and it was not yet time for lunch, but half of the child ate quickly and digested quickly, and his stomach was already hungry at this time.

Liu Chongshan held a piece of oil bun in his hand, beckoned to his nephew, and said, "The oil bun you make, you are hungry, come and eat some if you are hungry." ”

These nephews of the Liu family, Liu Chongshan has always been very kind and generous to them, in his own words, these are the roots of their old Liu family, as long as they look at them, they are happy.

The bolt was really happy to hear it, he dropped the sickle and ran to the ground, first took an oil bun, ate it into his stomach with three times and divided by two, and then took the scoop and scooped water in the crockpot to drink, "Ah, it's so sweet, this is sand sugar water, right?" ”

Liu Guiyuan rolled his eyes silently, asked you to come and drink, you really came, I don't know how polite, there are not many oil buns and sugar water, they are all called after you are finished, what else do others eat.

"Sweet persimmon, there is sand sugar water here, can you drink it?" The bolt beckoned to her sister who was sitting on the ground resting, Liu Tianpersim shook her head and didn't go over, she thought that a few people were dirty with a scoop, and she was willing to wait for someone to bring water when she was thirsty.

In the wheat field on the left, the second aunt Li had pointed ears, listened to the oil buns and sugar water made by her family, squatted on the ground and whispered to her three sons: "You three also go, don't eat for nothing, anyway, your uncle won't say anything." ”

Liu Tiezhu and Liu Tiedan, you look at me, I look at you, I don't want to go, why? The last time I made a fuss, I was scared, and now Liu Tiedan has taken a detour when he meets Liu Guiyuan, for fear of being reported to the official by her.

"You two useless things, are you afraid of her little girl? Tie Niu, you go to eat, I don't know when your milk will deliver the food. ”

Liu Tieniu is 14 years old this year, and has been an apprentice in the town's carpentry shop for the past two years, but he is lazy and used to it, not only did he not learn anything about carpentry, but he didn't even want to do the farm work at home.

Liu Tieniu squatted down, shouted to the uncle, reached out and took the largest oil bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it, before he finished eating it in his hand, he was going to take it again, Liu Guiyuan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help it, and said: "

"Brother Tie Niu, you can just eat one and taste it, why don't you eat it, there are only a few pieces in total, which is not enough for my family to eat a full stomach."

Liu Chongshan was unhappy when he heard this, glared at her and said, "How do you speak, this is your eldest brother, you can't eat less if you don't eat enough?" Liu Guiyuan was speechless at one sentence, she had no choice but to pick up the remaining oil buns and distribute them to the eldest sister and second sister one by one, and Zhang's lotus seeds had to be milked, so she took a piece of oil buns home to nurse the child.

Liu Chongshan was only half-full, looked down and saw that it was gone, and angrily reprimanded Liu Guiyuan, saying: "How to cook, who can eat enough to make this?" ”

"So what can I do? Do your best to make it for a family of five, you also come to eat and he will eat, no matter how much is not enough, Dad, if you don't have enough to eat, you will make a cushion first, and then talk about it in the evening. Liu Guiyuan patted the oil on his hand, picked up Zhang's sickle, and went directly to the field to cut wheat in Zhang's place.

"Dad, I have it, for you." Liu Huahua hurriedly tore half of the piece and handed it to him, and Liu Hongjube also tore half of it, and Liu Chongshan barely ate enough.

Not long after, Liu Yao's family carried two baskets of rice and sent them to the field, where there were not only meals from the second family, but also meals from the third family. Liu Guiyuan saw that the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the old lady's heart was biased to the armpit, the three sons only took care of the second and third families, and the old family didn't ask a little at all.

Liu Guiyuan couldn't get angry, so he walked directly in front of Liu Yao's and asked, "Milk, why don't you cook for my family?" Isn't my father your son? ”

Liu Yao's had a headache when he saw her, and when he saw that she was blocking the road, he said angrily: "Your second uncle's family supports me all year round, who will do it if you don't make it for his family?" Your third uncle's family is too busy to come, why should I help a little? Don't bluff you little girl, you should go to work. ”

Liu Guiyuan stopped talking, followed her to the wheat field of the second uncle's house, and waited for Liu Yao's to take out the food, Liu Guiyuan reached out and grabbed one and ran, so angry that Liu Yao and Li scolded in the back.

"Good little girl, how can you steal my food?"

"What do you mean by stealing? It's all a family, I'm a granddaughter, what's wrong with tasting the milk cooking? ”

Liu Guiyuan actually knew that Liu Yao's partiality had already begun, she was just angry and wanted to add a block to them, as for the piece of cake that the plug ate, it was for the sake of him going back after eating only one.

At this time, the third aunt Lin came through the middle of the ground and turned to the ground to talk to Liu Chongshan: "Big brother, what you said last time about calling red dates to stay at home to recruit husbands, may it change again?" You see, my nephew is willing to pay twenty taels of dowry, he really likes red dates, he is sincere, you inquire, who is willing to pay so much dowry for his daughter-in-law? ”

Twenty taels of bride price is 20,000 yuan, generally like their farmer, the bride price of marrying a daughter-in-law is roughly between eight taels and fifteen taels, if someone is willing to pay twenty taels, it means that the man is extremely fond of the woman, and the woman's parents also feel that they have face.

Liu Chongshan was really moved when he heard the twenty-tael dowry, but after glancing at Liu Hongjuo, who was working hard, he still shook his head and said, "Third brother and daughter-in-law, I said last time, I want her to stay at home." ”

"Big brother, if I were you, you would agree to this family, you have several daughters, do you have to keep red dates at home? Which one can't be a peanut or longan? If you want me to say, it's better to keep peanuts than to keep anyone, she is only two years younger than red dates, and it's okay to recruit two years later, besides, her face is not good to find her in-laws, isn't it right to stay at home? ”

The third aunt Lin was determined to tell Liu Hongjube to her mother's uncle and cousin, not that she was kind, but that her nephew took a fancy to Liu Hongjuo, and put down the words that he would not marry, so his mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to the door with a gift to ask her to agree, otherwise why would she bother so much.

"Well, why don't I discuss it with your sister-in-law again." Liu Chongshan was moved in the end, and he didn't speak as dead as before.

"If you want me to say what else to discuss, the eldest marries into the wealthy Sangyu Village, that is to enjoy happiness, the second child stays at home to recruit a husband, and when the house is built, you are still worried that no one will come to the door?" The third aunt Lin saw that Liu Chongshan was tempted, so she quickly added a fire and said, "There are so many dowries, how many houses are not enough?" If you think about it, there will be no such shop after this village. ”

"Then you wait for me to harvest the wheat, and I'll give you a reply when the time comes."

The third aunt Lin saw that there was a door for this, and went back with a smile, Lin and Liu Chongshan did not talk behind their backs, and the three sisters who were cutting wheat not far away heard it clearly.

Liu Hongzao heard that she didn't have to be rich, and she was happy that she didn't need to recruit a son-in-law, but she was worried that Liu Huahua would not find a good husband. Liu Huaanhua's heart is very calm, she knows that she is not as good as her eldest sister, and it is not easy to find her in-laws, even if she can't recruit a good husband at home, how bad can it be?

Liu Guiyuan heard that the second sister might have to recruit a son-in-law at home, and there was no big emotional fluctuation for a while, anyway, both of them were her sisters, and she didn't want either

Not happy. What she was thinking about was another thing, what was that man named Wang Feisan, but he really wanted to marry the eldest sister? No, she must check this matter when she is free and see with her own eyes who the other party is.
