The ripe wheat in the fields has been harvested, and some young children walk around the fields every day with baskets to see if there are any fallen ears of wheat.

Long before the harvest, the wheat field was prepared in the village, and the heavy stone stones pulled by oxen were compacted and flattened in circles, and the soil was mixed with wheat bran, which was pressed as smooth as a mirror, and the peasant children ran barefoot on the wheat field.

Mo Youran's trouser legs were rolled up below his knees, and the sleeves on his hands were also rolled up to his elbows, walking around the ground barefoot like the old farmers, the wheat field that was originally a little cold was sunburned, and the hot feet were hot, and after walking around, it felt as if he was going to peel off a layer of skin, and finally he had to put on his shoes and sigh with joy, some things really can't be done in a while.

The industrious peasant women sat on the edge of their wheat fields with a sickle fixed to a thick wooden plank under their feet, and stepped on the wooden plank, and the wheat was strangled on the erected sickle, and the ears of wheat were separated from the stalks, and then the heavy ears of wheat were thrown behind them, and the stalks were put aside and tied up again one by one.

It is more convenient to thresh the ears of wheat that have been cut, and as for the wheat stalks, this is a good thing, especially easy to make when the fire is burned, and it is often used to make things that start the fire.

The naughty children carried the bundled wheat stalks one by one and began to build the house like building blocks, and went into it to hide and seek, and the neighboring residents were busy talking and laughing loudly, and the wheat field was full of cheerful laughter.

Mo leisurely watched it greedily, but thinking of his appearance when he was cutting wheat, he still dispelled the idea of going up to try his hand in person, and ran to build the city wall with some half-grown children with wheat straw bundles, and then watched them play with officers and soldiers to catch robbers, or siege battles.

Dong Liang walked over with a basket on his shoulder, wrapped a flower turban on his head like a little peasant daughter-in-law, and wore clothes made of coarse cloth, and at first glance thought it was a peasant girl: "Brother, I don't remember to go back to eat when I play crazy." ”

Mo Youran looked at his sister and was stunned for a moment, this is really a person who relies on clothes and horses and saddles, and when my sister changes into peasant clothes, it really looks like that, that is, this dress is a little newer, and which of the others is not with patches, so they will wear a better one during the New Year's holidays.

Dong Liang opened the basket, people are lazy in the hot weather, there is no appetite, the kitchen is mixed with cold powder, it looks refreshing and refreshing, Mo Youran directly loaded a bowl and squatted aside to eat like other people, watching the naughty children play.

Dong Liang shook his head, Mo Youran was having a good time here, looking at how there was still a little bit of the smell of a boy and brother on his body, he directly squatted with a bowl and a group of farmers to eat, so that his mother might be scared when she saw it.

After noon, the sun is not so poisonous, and the market begins to fight, not because of their own busy work, people who are familiar with each other will work together, first for your family to do it and then come to my family together, after all, not every household has livestock.

Beat the wheat, this is a meticulous work, put the livestock in place, pull the stone stone in the back, people lead the animal in front of the circle to walk, the back stone pressed over the wheat ear, the full wheat was pressed out, the others followed behind with an iron fork to press the wheat ear that pressed over the side of the fork up, continue to press, the pressed wheat grains swept out and piled aside, until the wheat grains can no longer be pressed.

Dong Li went to the first house to thresh wheat to see the excitement for a while, grabbed a handful of wheat grains and looked at them carefully, sighed secretly, look at the sharp and small appearance of this wheat grain, there is not much white flour, this kind of look must be optimized. I remember that the wheat I planted at home used to come out of the grain, and when I saw it, it felt round and chubby, and the white flour that was ground out was extraordinarily fragrant, which was like these?

The young girls are picking up the ears of wheat on the side, and some of the ears of wheat will inevitably have the wheat grains that have not been pressed out, which has to be peeled out by hand, and they pick out the ears of wheat that have not been taken off by hand, and skillfully rub the wheat grains out, and the wheat grains that have been taken off will be immediately flattened to the flat and dry store, so that after a few good suns, the wheat will be dried and can be loaded and stored.

"Miss, Miss!" Dan Zhu hurriedly ran over and found his own young lady in the crowd: "The people from the Nangong family came to the door, and the old lady sent someone to tell the young lady not to go out these days, and not to go home, stay in the Zhuangzi first, and then send someone to pick up the young lady when they are done." ”

Dongli's body stiffened, did the people of the Nangong family really come to the Mo family? What do they want to do? Retirement? Or is there something else in mind?

Dan Zhu looked at his young lady nervously, the Mo family is no longer the Mo family of the past, the master is no longer a big official, it is very common to worship high and low in the officialdom, everyone said behind their backs, this Nangong family is afraid that they want to regret their marriage, and the young lady is so smart, she also knows it, right? How sad she should be to be divorced by others!

Dong Liang squatted down and fiddled with the wheat grains on the ground: "I know, don't shout about this matter, don't let my brother know." "Divorce the marriage, let it be divorced, she still can't wait for it, what's so good about a prodigal son of flowers, even if she has the reputation of being divorced, she doesn't want to marry and suffer like this.

I heard that Mrs. Nangong didn't like her from the beginning, and there was someone else who took a fancy to her daughter-in-law, but it was because of the old lady's idea that she couldn't get her wish, and now this unqualified future daughter-in-law's family has failed, and she has to quit the marriage and get married!

What the hell is the idea, Miss! Danzhu was entangled, and his fingers fiddled with each other: "The slave maid thinks that with the character and appearance of Miss, where can she not find a good one, then it is good for the Nangong family to retreat, so as not to be angry when she enters a high-ranking family." ”

This girl is worried that she won't be able to open it, right? Dong Liang glanced back at Danzhu, who was chattering, squinted, and patted the dust on his body in a good mood: "I already knew, I don't need you to comfort me." ”

Dan Zhu was stunned and watched her stand up straight and run to the young master, those children had already built the city tower and the city wall, and were riding branches as horses there, shouting and fighting!

Mo Youran held a wooden rake in his hand, and helped a family to flatten the pressed wheat there, the man of that family looked very uneasy, the eldest young master personally helped their family work, this is about to lose their life.

"Brother, don't be busy, look at the scare of others." Dong Liang looked funny, took out the rake and returned it to the farmer, the man wiped his sweat and quickly took it, and was busy with his hands and feet, fortunately the eldest young master still listened to the young lady, otherwise he was scared enough these days, and he actually reached out to help with any work.

Mo leisurely watched with regret as the farmer spread the small pile of wheat into a thin layer a few times, much stronger than his own efforts to make it thinner here and thicker there, and frustrated his crotch and shoulders: "Why can't I do anything?" ”

Dong Li couldn't help but laugh: "Who told you to come up and do it?" That's not something that can be done in the field, and besides, didn't I say it, we're studying farming, not farming, brother, I've found good seeds. ”

Mo Youran, who was still depressed, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he eagerly pulled his sister's clothes: "Where is it?" Where? ”

Seeing his brother's anxious look, Dong Li laughed out loud: "Look at your urgency, this is not the time, we have to wait for them to level the land, put a layer of pond mud, and fertilize the field before planting seeds." ”

In the past, when the family planted corn, it was seeded when the wheat was not yet ripe, and occasionally it was sown after harvesting, and there were not many corn seeds in Dongli's hands, and it was still being purchased privately by people, and it was impossible to plant it immediately, but think about so many tenants under his hands, planting such a little corn is not like fun? So there's no need to rush.

"Not in a hurry?" Mo leisurely looked at the gradually darkening sky depressedly, "The wheat has been harvested, the field is still vacant there, they plan to plant sorghum, that thing does not fight for land, and the yield is okay, but I always feel unwilling, we haven't done anything serious since we came." ”

Mo Youran was very depressed in his heart, this depression came from the sudden misfortune of the family, from a high-ranking noble son to a lost dog who was forced to move away from the family overnight, and suffered the ridicule of those so-called friends at the beginning, I thought that it would be difficult to achieve anything in this life, but my sister's words made him seem to have refound his direction.

But after looking forward to it for so long, he still hasn't started the so-called agricultural research, he can't suppress the anxiety in his heart, he desperately hopes that he will succeed quickly, and he can face those villains with a victorious attitude, and he can have enough confidence to prove the strength of the Mo family, and he has enough ability to ensure his sister's happiness.

If the Mo family is strong enough, even if the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei is a relative of the emperor, they will not dare to rashly propose to withdraw from the marriage.

Yes, he already knew that the people of the Nangong family were going to visit the Mo family, at this juncture, the intentions of those people were self-evident, his baby sister was pampered in the palm of her hand, how could they be allowed to trample on them like this!

Dong Li didn't know how much his brother thought about kung fu for a moment, but she could see Mo Youran's emotions, and was silent for a moment: "Brother, I'm sorry." ”

"What?" Mo Youran almost suspected that he had misheard, the little sister was so dignified, what was wrong?

"I only care about my own affairs, but I forget to think more about my brother." Dong Li really feels very guilty, this brother's goodness can be felt without saying, he always puts her first, but he takes care of those messy things, and he really has little time to think about it for him, he is an authentic ancient, and the thought of making achievements has not stopped: "I don't have many seeds in my hand, and I have asked someone to go out to search for them as they are, and there are also some vegetable seeds, which are also good things, and I plan to set aside a piece of land to grow vegetables." ”

After my sister suddenly apologized, she changed the topic, and immediately said that the farming was on the road, Mo Youran was a little confused, but she changed the direction very well: "Vegetables? This idea is good, it is rare to have any green vegetables in winter, some of them are produced on the hot spring village, the price is ridiculously expensive, if you have a variety of white woad, radish and other vegetables that are more shelf-stable, even if you don't sell much in winter, you can also eat more green vegetables. ”

I can't see that my brother from home, a scholar, is actually very smart about this aspect! Dong Li glanced at his brother appreciatively: "That's right, this year's wheat harvest is good, if everyone plants a large amount of sorghum according to the way in previous years, the price of this grain may fall sharply at that time, and it is the common people who will suffer." ”
