Chapter 3 Wheat Harvesting
This year's drought has been bare for thousands of miles.
Their village barely collected some grain, and after removing the grain tax, there was not much left.
Xia Bo had no hope and could only leave his hometown to find another way out.
On the way to escape from the desert, the two families were separated, and then heaven and man were separated forever, and they never saw each other again.
How many times did he dream back at midnight, and he regretted it.
is only twenty taels, why do you have to part with your second brother, obviously before his father and mother died, he repeatedly told him to take care of this ignorant younger brother.
Knowing that he is ignorant, he still wants to be angry with him, he is really unfilial!
It was because of the separation from the second brother's family and the separation that the damn bastard took advantage of the loophole and bullied his daughter.
Everything started when he drove away his second brother's family.
In the past few days, the second brother has served him very carefully, and he is constantly reflecting on what he has missed.
Back then, he was sick on the couch, with a high fever that did not go away, and he was unconscious, whether the second brother had served so earnestly and thoughtfully.
He lay down for a few more days, there was no one in charge at home, and the ignorant second brother had to be sensible and forced to work on the family's livelihood.
The younger siblings have always been stronger, and he knows it.
They live in poverty, and their younger siblings take care of the housework, and they can't wait to break a copper plate into two halves.
In previous years, he hired people to take care of the farmland, but when he fell, the labor fee rose again, and his younger siblings were reluctant to spend, so the two of them had to harvest wheat by themselves.
It's hard for them.
He sighed in his heart, and completed the major events of his life as usual.
Let the second brother put him down again and clean it up.
The eldest brother is like a father, what is he uncomfortable with, he is very comfortable!
……
As soon as Yan's father came out, he saw his daughter squatting at the kitchen door, watching her eldest niece burn the stove.
Ordinary people have two meals a day, and they are used to three meals a day, and their bodies can bear it, but they always scratch their hearts and livers as if they want to stutter.
Even he couldn't help but swallow.
Our eggs are so delicious, don't look at the frequency of laying eggs, they are natural and pollution-free, and healthy.
Suck! The old hen is more delicious, I don't know when I will have this blessing.
The eldest brother is weak, does he have to kill a chicken to make up for it?
Erya learned how to make a fire with her eyes.
The eyes say: learned.
The hand said, "No, no."
She picked a beautiful piece of firewood from the side and tentatively sent it to the stove.
was stopped by the eldest sister in time, and said to her in a very gentle tone: "Erya, go play elsewhere, be careful of the fire burning you." ”
confiscated the firewood in her hand, and helped her popularize science by the way: "The firewood in this stove must be empty, not too full, and not enough." ”
I understood, and I learned new knowledge.
Erya nodded solemnly, turned around, and saw his father swallowing saliva while looking at the old hens.
The calf spun over quickly.
"Dad, are you hungry?" She asked quietly.
"Huh? Nope! Father Yan flatly denied it.
"Don't forget that you still owe twenty taels of gambling debts!" The second girl has a tiger face, betting that the dog is not qualified to eat meat.
"How can you say that I owe it, isn't that what Yan Lao Er owes?" Father Yan felt that he had been wronged.
"You are Yan Laoer, Yan Laoer is you."
"Girl, let's not make trouble, Dad is going to die of worry, there was a place to sell blood in ancient times, I want to sell blood!"
"It's not enough to sell blood for twenty taels, Dad, that's twenty taels!"
"Don't stress it, your brain hurts, don't you say okay, call me dad, don't call dad."
"Okay, Dad!" Erya is as good as a stream, and makes a request: "Then can you stop calling me Erya?" It's not like I don't have a name. ”
"Can we call that name? What if the stuffing is exposed? It's not burned as a monster yet, your uncle calls me Tianyou, I used to think that Yan Lao'er was called Yan Tianyou, but it took me two days to figure it out, it turned out to be a nickname, and I still don't understand what Yan Lao'er is called. "Father Yan is also helpless, everyone in the village calls him Yan Er, I don't know what it's really called.
"Dad, you are really uneducated, God bless that word, ancient scholars have words, and those who are close to each other are called by surnames and words, or directly shout words." Erya is a primary school bully, but her major is not helpful to the current situation, so let's understand the language?
She is stronger than her parents because she loves to watch dramas and novels......
"Hey, no, you didn't mean you saw the IOU, there should be a name on it."
Father Yan is indescribable, and he sighs all his life today. "Yan Laoer's signature dragon flying phoenix dance is a traditional Chinese character, I really don't see what it is."
Erya: ......
"Forget Dad, I'll always know in the future." She comforted her dear father.
"Your sister's meal is ready, I have to hurry back to the field, but your mother is tired." He took the lunch prepared by his eldest niece, a neatly covered backpack, and hurried out the door.
He is not happy at all when he is busy with lunch, cutting wheat is really not a human job, one hand supports wheat and the other hand cuts, his waist is about to break, and his family leader has suffered a big crime!
……
Yan's field
Li Xuemei stumbled and fell to her knees.
The pain in her knees was temporary, the pain in her lower back was numb, and it was tormenting her nerves all the time, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and she was dizzy.
It's really exhausting!
"Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Where are you? Yan Lao Er was far away from seeing people, a little panicked, and shouted loudly.
"Here!" Li Xuemei tried her best to be loud, but she was tired enough, her whole body was sore, and she was really weak.
"Oh, what's wrong with you, daughter-in-law? Where's the injury? I'll take a look, I'll see. Yan Lao Er ran over as soon as he slipped through the smoke and saw his own leader kneeling on the ground, supporting the ground with one hand, and the sickle wrapped in a strip of cloth with the other, and he was snorting in distress.
Fuck, what's going on!
"I'm fine...... Li Xuemei gasped a few times and said, "You slowly help me up." ”
Yan Lao Er immediately understood what was going on, whether it was Li Xuemei in the past or the current Li family, he had never done such heavy work in the ground, how could his body stand it.
He wiped his face, walked forward quickly, and adjusted her posture as he spoke, "Don't get up yet, you lie down first, I'll help you press the loose." ”
Moderately strong fingers focused on her lower back.
Li Xuemei couldn't help but sigh, it was sore and painful.
"Bear with me, don't make a move, this is still in the earth, don't let people misunderstand what we're doing." Father Yan has always been poor.
Li Xuemei wanted to slap him angrily, "Shut up, I won't press it, let me get up." "I struggled to get up on my own.
"Alas, tell me why you're in a hurry again, daughter-in-law, you have to change your temper, and you can't talk back to women and men here." Father Yan pressed her down, and he didn't care if the land was clean or not, "Daughter-in-law, what do you say you are strong, I don't tell you everything, just do it in moderation, in moderation, you just take a hand, the main force must be me, why don't you be obedient as soon as you turn around." ”
"Ten acres of land! How did you do it yourself. "Whoever does this work is tired, it's all the same.
"Let's hire someone, hey! Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. ”
"Hehe, what do you please? You went to the big brother to ask for money? ”
