Chapter 53: Harvesting Wheat
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the wheat in Xujiawan is yellow and bright, with a wind blowing, the wheat is dancing with the wind, which is very beautiful.
It's an important moment to harvest wheat every year, and the captain Xu Jianguo commands everyone to start working, harvesting wheat is a big day, and all the people in the village who can work must come to work.
The one who harvests the wheat is also responsible for pulling the wheat and pulling the wheat to the wheat field, and the man who threws the wheat is responsible for threshing the wheat, and the children are responsible for gathering the wheat.
There are no tractors in Xujiawan, and they rely on two ox carts in the village to pull the wheat.
Yu Qing was not idle, Xu Jianguo knew that she couldn't endure hardship, so she was assigned to pick up wheat together, not very tired but with low work.
Yu Qing didn't care, if everyone didn't have to work, she would want to hide at home.
The snowflakes are also standing in the field with a decadent face, it is a hot day, the sun hangs high, and it can give a layer of skin to the sun.
Yu Qing was already black, and finally used whitening essence, whitening shower gel, and some drugs to make it whiter, but she didn't want to turn black.
On a hot day, she was tightly wrapped, revealing a pair of eyes.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable? Xuehua asked worriedly as she looked at her mother.
Isn't this hot?
Yu Qing glanced at her daughter: "Xuehua, do you think mom has changed these days?" ”
"What's that?" Xu Xuehua was stared at by Yu Qing, thought about it and said, "Mom has become fair, and her temper has improved." ”
Yu Qing rolled her eyes: "No, don't you think your mother has turned white?" ”
Saying this, Xu Xuehua saw it: "It's whiter, it's a lot better!" What does that have to do with you being so tightly wrapped? ”
"You look at the big sun, the scorching sun is in the sky, I can't get black after being sunburned in the ground for a few days, and I can't get sunburned here." Yu Qing didn't have a good airway.
Xu Xuehua nodded, suddenly she liked her physique, she had been white since she was a child, and there was no change when she was exposed to the sun.
Working on such a hot day, she can't die of heat, her mother is so pitiful.
Mrs. Xu was also working in the wheat field, and when she saw a woman in the field wrapped in her whole body, she pointed to her little daughter-in-law and said, "You see that the one in the field is not a fool, she doesn't say that she wears less clothes on such a hot day."
I returned the bag so tightly, and my brain was absolutely broken, and it was not normal. She said and pointed to her head, but it was a pity.
As soon as these words came out, some people knew who it was, so they immediately turned their heads away, and secretly covered their mouths and laughed.
Sun Sufen listened to her mother-in-law's words, and also secretly scolded the woman for being abnormal.
"Mom, brother and sister." Yu Qing picked up the ears of wheat, came to the two of them, and immediately greeted them with a smile.
Mrs. Xu raised her head when she heard the voice and was dumbfounded, this and this, the fool is her daughter-in-law, hey, hey.
Mrs. Xu immediately blushed.
Even Sun Sufen was shocked.
The people around couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yu Qing looked curious: "Mom, what's wrong with you, why is your face so red, it can't be heat stroke, right?" ”
Mrs. Xu is panicking now, she wants to find a crack in the ground to get into, and she is about to die of anger when she looks at the second child's family.
"I didn't, I'm worried about your heat stroke, what are you doing like this on a hot day."
"I'm sunscreen, I'm already dark, and I'm even darker when I tan again." Yu Qing explained.
Sun Sufen didn't understand this, and looked curious on the side.
"What are you all doing together, why don't you hurry up and get to work?" The captain shouted.
The people gathered together scattered.
Yu Qing continued to pick up the ears of wheat with snowflakes.
Before the morning, Yu Qing was hot and soaked, and walked for most of the day, bending down to pick up ears of wheat, not only tired legs and feet, but also tired waist.
"Mom, my legs hurt, my feet hurt too." Xuehua squatted on the ground and said with a bitter face.
Yu Qing pinched her waist and looked uncomfortable, took her hand and fanned the wind a few times from time to time, and looked at Li Mei who was cutting wheat in the field, she suddenly admired a little.
"Xuehua, persistence is victory, you see that your eldest brother and sister-in-law are more tired, and lotus leaves, she can persist at such a young age, we can't be ashamed." Yu Qing said and stretched out her hand towards Xuehua.
Xuehua glanced at the lotus leaves that were still picking up ears of wheat in the ground, gritted her teeth, and took Yu Qing's hand to get up.
Xu Lanzhen is used to farm work, and she is not afraid of being tired at all, not to mention working with a sickle, but this is also forced by Su Hua.
Xu Lanzhen was very proud when she was just reborn, and she originally wanted to rely on her reborn identity to have a big fight with Su Hua.
It's a pity that there is no one in this family except Xu Erniu with her, and they all join forces to bully her, and Su Hua is even more hungry and she is not allowed to eat.
Within a few days, Xu Lanzhen couldn't stand it and gave in to Su Hua.
But she didn't lose her strength, God let her be reborn, it means that she is lucky, and when she finds a chance to get money first, then Su Hua's family will ask her.
"Dead girl, what are you stunned, hurry up and work, and finish doing mine." Su Hua looked at her and didn't move, shouted angrily, and then secretly ran to the big tree and leaned on it.
It took three or four days for the wheat in the field to be harvested, and then the wheat was threshed, peeled, and then dried.
However, the workload behind is small, and Yu Qing, Xuehua and lotus leaves don't have to go to the ground.
After working for so long, Yu Qing's whole body was sore when she slept at night.
Finally able to rest, Yu Qing basically spent the first day in bed, except for cooking and going to the toilet to eat, she was not in bed.
After the wheat was packed, except for the fact that it had to be taken to the town for work, the rest of the grain was distributed to the big guys, and the corresponding amount of work was deducted for the amount of grain.
As soon as the food was distributed, on the second day, Xu Chengyong and Gu Huiniang came to Xujiawan on bicycles, not for anything else, just to ask for food.
Xu Chengyong rode a car with his daughter-in-law and came to the old house of the Xu family.
looked at Xu Chengyong with disgust: "Big brother, sister-in-law, you came on time, you just came after distributing the food here." ”
Xu Chengyong was not angry at the yin and yang weirdness of the third brother and sister, turned his head and smiled and said, "Third brother and sister, you just distributed the food yesterday?"
That's a coincidence, our family is not out of food, several children in the family are still growing, your sister-in-law and I can be hungry, but the children can't. ”
Sun Sufen rolled her eyes and knew that she was going to ask for food.
Xu Chengde was also a little unhappy, his eldest brother had read the books for all these years, and his parents just felt that there was food to eat and money to earn when they worked in the town, so they saved money for their eldest brother to study.
For so many years, the eldest brother has gone to work, but he hasn't taken any money from home, but he has to go home from time to time to ask for food.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, it's not that I, who is a younger brother, look down on you, you tell me that you work in the town, you have money and food, how do you eat that food, it's gone.
Aren't you rich, you can't buy it yourself, why is it so big, and you have to keep it with your parents. ”
Xu Chengyong's face darkened little by little.
