061 Leaky roof
"The head of the family, a few masters, the washing water is ready."
Childhood came over and interrupted Moli's thoughts.
He got up early in the morning and boiled the water, in the previous master's house, the young lady and young master in the house had to wash with warm water in the morning, today he deliberately boiled the water, and mixed it with hot water, the water temperature is not cold or hot.
Mo Li walked over to wash his face.
Gu Qing was full of irritability, she really wanted to take a pair of scissors and cut Gu Nuo's hair all at once, a boy, what kind of long hair did he have, didn't he find something to do for himself?
She held back her irritability, tried her best to comb patiently, and where she couldn't comb it, she secretly rubbed and smeared the essential oil, and finally, Gu Nuo's hair was finally tidied up.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Yang Pei, Zhu Han, and Moli all looking at her with longing eyes, and Dong Rong also looked at this side, even the four children of the Tong family who had just moved in yesterday couldn't help but stare at her......
One, two, three, four, five, six...... Washing the hair of so many people, she would be tired and crazy.
Gu Qing got up decisively: "Xiaohan, is breakfast ready, hurry up and set the meal, and go to work after eating." ”
Breakfast is very simple, one person has a white flour steamed bun, plus a bowl of gnocchi noodles, and a table of people bows their heads and eats it all at once.
After the meal, when Gu Qing was about to assign the task, Yang Pei spoke: "Family master, leave a few things in the field to us, you stay at home to rest." ”
He saw Gu Qing's palm, three blood blisters, one blood blister burst, these hands will hurt to death.
Mo Li nodded: "I have a lot of strength, it's okay to do more." ”
Dong Rong stood up: "The head of the family stays at home, and I will go to the ground." ”
Gu Qing ironed in her heart, although she was tired, she didn't complain, and she didn't show a few people the blisters on her hands, but she didn't expect them to see it in their eyes, and offered to let her stay at home to rest.
"I'll just be in charge of bundling the rice, and I won't hurt my hands." As he was talking, the little brother in the mall had already sent the rice threshing machine over, and Li Zheng just brought someone over to wait for the rice threshing machine to go to the field.
After they carried all the rice threshing machines away, Gu Qing took the sickle and straw rope and went down to the field.
This will be the morning, the morning breeze is gentle, you don't need to wear a straw hat to work, the morning breeze is blowing, a little cool, the villagers are taking advantage of the sun not coming out to harvest quickly, busy and busy.
Gu Qing lowered her head and worked hard, she had become an emotionless working machine.
It can be said that after living for 27 years in her previous life, she has never been so tired, she never knew that the same autumn harvest in ancient times was so tiring.
The five acres of paddy fields at home are not much, and they have many families, so they can finish all the work today. Plough the field tomorrow, plant seedlings the day after tomorrow, and plant seedlings for at least two days in five acres of paddy fields.
Gu Qing sighed, rubbed his old waist, and continued to work.
The paddy fields of the old Gu family are not far from her house, and when the old lady Gu came down to deliver tea, she couldn't help but muttered to the old man Gu: "During the autumn harvest a few years ago, Qing'er was more lazy than the second daughter-in-law, and this year she was so diligent......"
When Sun heard this, he immediately retorted: "Mother, I'm really not lazy, you see, I'm diligent with my hands and feet." ”
Mrs. Gu tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she didn't know who was lying on the bed two days ago and pretending to be sick and refused to get up.
She divided the rice in the field into three equal parts today, all the children and Old Man Gu were responsible for one-third, and the second and third rooms were each responsible for one-third, no, the Sun family was afraid that Gu Youjin would not be able to finish it alone, so she took the initiative to go to the ground, the only advantage of her second daughter-in-law is that she will feel sorry for the man, which is also the fundamental reason why the old lady Gu tolerates the Sun family from time to time.
In the next few days, it will still be a busy autumn harvest.
On the fifth day, all the seedlings ordered by Gu Qing Mall were sent over early in the morning, and all the seedlings ordered by other villages were also sent to the county government.
On the evening of the sixth day, all the seedlings in the field were finally planted, and Gu Qing took the family to hull the rice, which was another task that tested patience.
The previously threshed rice is dusted and dust-free, and then put into a container and pounded with a mallet, and the friction of the wooden pestle against the stone mortar can remove the thin outer layer.
Rice has two layers, the first layer of chaff, the separated husk is generally used to start a fire, or used to smoke bacon.
The second layer is separated from the bran, which is used to feed pigs in modern society, but the pigs raised in modern times are rich in nutrition, most of the pig farms abandon the use of rice bran as feed, and the lack of food in ancient times, the bran will be ground into powder and mixed into the flour to eat together, and the "bran" of eating bran pharyngeal vegetables refers to this layer of bran.
The rice here does not grow well, the rice grains are not full enough, after a hundred catties of rice is husked, there are only about fifty or sixty catties left, and the family still has more than 900 catties of rice left after paying taxes, and after all the husks are shed, the final one that falls into the hands is about 500 catties, and the yield per mu of their family is relatively high in Gujia Village, and the grain in the hands of other families is very small.
In the next six months, every household in the village relied on these hundreds of catties of rice for food and clothing, sold rice for cloth, bought oil and salt, and saved money for medicine......
Gu Qing sat at the vent on the edge of the house, a dustpan in front of him, raised the brown rice, the wind blew away the shell, and the rest was brown rice, and the brown rice had to be milled again.
This work needs to be repeated over and over again until all the shells are blown away by the wind.
Her arms hurt terribly, but she couldn't stop.
She really wanted to buy a special threshing and husking tool from the mall, but the guy was too big to take it out even if she could afford it, after all, the guy needed electricity or diesel.
Now I can only accept my fate and continue to work.
After six or seven days of intense work, her mind couldn't think about things properly.
It wasn't until a drop of rain fell on her face that she woke up and looked up to see that the sky, which had been clear just now, suddenly began to rain.
"It's raining!"
"I haven't seen rain in two months!"
"It's so comfortable to rain on your body!"
"People can get drenched in the rain, but the grain can't, quickly, harvest the grain!"
“……”
The people in the village were in chaos, and Gu Qing hurriedly asked a few people to collect all the rice in the yard.
The rain at the end of summer was heavy and rapid, and the raindrops fell on the roof, dripping down the reed poles, and fell on the ground, smashing out a small pit, and the rain became more and more, and the pit on the ground became bigger and bigger, and slowly, the small pit became a big pit, and a lot of rain accumulated.
Chickens and ducks chirped non-stop, and two puppies ran around the yard, then squatted under the eaves to watch the rain, their tongues sticking out from time to time and rolling a few drops of rain into their mouths.
Gu Qing stood at the door, looking at the field, a rain just filled the field that had just finished planting seedlings.
The seedlings that have just been planted in the field are exactly when they need water, and they can only grow when there is water, and she is worried about how to persuade the villagers to open a canal to irrigate the fields.
"No, it's raining!"
Mo Li suddenly exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly jumped up.
In the middle of the hall, raindrops fell down the reed poles, right on Moli's head.
Dong Rong said lightly: "I also leak rain here." ”
Not only these two places, but also the side of the bedroom, there are also raindrops falling.
Gu Qing has experienced what it means to have a heavy rain outside the house and a light rain inside the house.
The ground is mud, and after the rain, the mud is wet and wet, and Yang Pei and Zhu Han are afraid that they will have no place to sleep tonight.
Yang Pei coughed and said: "When it rained in the spring, I wrote down the location of the leak, but then I was busy all the time, so I forgot about it, and when the rain stopped, I repaired the roof." ”
Gu Qing nodded, the roof really needs to be repaired, but fortunately, a house is already being built on the wasteland.
