Li Xiangyang put the wrapped blessing paper in the basket and said to Lin Lan: "After the millet is taken back, the beans will be about to take the entrance exam." ”

"Yes! He's full of confidence, I think he's a little younger, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up. ”

Lao Li put down the wooden hammer and said: "Lin Lan, the beans are quiet, the brain is easy to use and the memory is good, you can rest assured!" ”

After half of July, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I still have to prepare ingredients to make moon cakes. ”

"I heard from my eldest brother that the Jin family Pingzi sent the mountain goods down?"

"Hmmm! A few days ago, I sent a lot of dried mushrooms and vermicelli, and I said that I would send beans and pumpkins in July and a half. They also collected some wild bees in the mountains, and they could collect honey when they went back this time, and said they would send them to me next time. ”

"There are a lot of things that can be sold for money in the mountains, and if you can't give them away, it's useless." Li Xiangyang looked at Lin Lan with a smile, "No wonder once you said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads." ”

Lao Li smiled: "Xiaolan is not wrong. For example, if Shishanling can build a machine plow road and find a tractor, he can send those grains to them, and he can also send those mountain goods out to sell for money. ”

Lin Lan remembered that time she went to Shishan Ridge, and the narrow path up the mountain still had palpitations: "Yes, the road in the mountain is really difficult to walk, not to mention the twists and turns, there are still thousands of cliffs below, and you can't even find the bones if you fall down." ”

Li Xiangyang also remembered the soft feet she was afraid of last time, and said with a smile: "I came out of the mountains, and I might as well walk the mountain road!" ”

Lin Lan glanced at him: "You are Master Li, and I am not." ”

The three of them wrapped all the blessing papers, wrote them, and then packed up their things to rest.

On the day of the middle of July, Lao Li took Li Xiangyang and the three of them to burn blessing paper for their relatives and ancestors, and he chanted while burning the paper, asking his relatives and ancestors to bless their family with a smooth and prosperous ......

On the morning of July 16, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang rode through the laneway of the vehicle factory, passing by the eucalyptus forest, and saw several old pumpkins on the pumpkin vines on the edge of the forest.

Out of the eucalyptus forest, I saw that the rice fields on both sides of the road were already golden.

The autumn wind rustled, and the heavy ears of rice in the rice fields fluctuated rhythmically, and the fragrance of rice greeted us.

The two of them sped up and pedaled their bicycles to the door of Lin Lan's house, only to see that people were already busy harvesting in the rice field.

The man who cuts the grain quickly swings his sickle, and when he hears the sound of the sound of the smug, he puts down the rows of grain handles.

Two teenage children picked up the grain and handed it to the adults standing in front of the mixing bucket, and in the sound of "dong dong" tart grain, the grains of rice were shaken off in the mixing bucket.

Lin Lan saw that the field behind the old lady's house was already occupied, and said to Li Xiangyang: "We're late." ”

Li Xiangyang looked at the time: "It's half past six, and tomorrow will be early." ”

The two pushed the car into the yard, and the yard was already cleaned, and there was not a single piece of clothing on the clothes pole, and even the handkerchief was collected, so they waited for the grain to come back and dry it.

Wangcai wagged his tail enthusiastically and drilled around under the feet of the two.

Lin Lan pointed to the meat and big bones in the back: "Obediently, I bought you big bones today." "She always thought this guy could understand people.

Wangcai looked up at her and screamed twice.

Li Xiangyang rubbed its head: "Take care of the house, let's go threshing grain." ”

Lin Hong heard the sound and ran out of the house: "Sister-in-law, little uncle, my father and grandfather have already gone, and Xiaojun and I stayed at home to dry the grain." My grandmother, my mother and my second aunt went to the restaurant and came back at noon. Auntie, they all came to help. ”

Lin Lan nodded and smiled: "Good! There are fruits and vegetables in the back, you carry them in, and put the meat in a basket to dry. ”

She bought more than a dozen catties of melons, two large watermelons, and some meat dishes.

"Hey! You guys bring the tea by the way. Lin Hong said and walked towards the stove room.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang followed to the stove room, only to see a bucket full of black tea.

Lin Hong took a porcelain jar and put it inside: "I just wanted to ask Xiaojun to get up and carry it with me." ”

"You're at home, sister-in-law and uncle carry you over."

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang lifted the bucket and went to the field behind the old lady's house, and saw that there was a big piece of mixing bucket in the middle of the field, because it had fallen due to a strong wind a few days ago.

Lin Changyou was also worried that if it rained heavily, the lodging millet would sprout.

I saw Wu Shuqun and his two daughters-in-law bowing over, dragging rice in their left hand, holding a sickle in their right hand, waving the sickle quickly, and rows of grains were neatly arranged in the field.

The fence on the top of the mixing barrel is useless on the ridge, and the four corners of the mixing barrel stand Lin Guoliang brothers and Zhou Shishi brothers. The four of them rhythmically waved the grain "dong dong, dong dong" and tartted the grain.

Lin Changyou and Zhou Dashan are helping to hand over the grain, and they are also busy tying the grain grass.

The straw was turned over for two days, revealing a touch of golden color, and taking advantage of the fine weather, he picked it up and piled it up in the firewood room.

In this year, there are many uses of grain grass, and the best sun-dried grain grass should pinch the seedlings, pad the bed board, and feed the cattle; It should also be used as firewood.

The two put down the tea bucket, and Lin Lan said to Lin Guoliang and the others: "Dad, big brother, the tea is here." ”

Lin Changyou turned his head and glanced at her: "Just put it there." ”

Lin Lan took a sickle in the basket, took a straw hat and handed it to Li Xiangyang, put on another one herself, and walked towards the rice stalk.

Li Xiangyang said to Zhou Shisong: "Little cousin, you rest for a while, I'll come." ”

Zhou Shisong shook his head with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, it's okay, it's only been half an hour." ”

Lin Changyou beckoned to Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, you come to help hand over the grain, and I'll tie the grain grass." ”

"Okay." Li Xiangyang took over Lin Changyou's position.

Lin Lan walked to the rice stalk and said to Wu Shuqun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a smile: "Auntie, cousin-in-law, thank you for your hard work." ”

Li Xiaofeng and Xu Hongju shook their heads with a smile: "It's not hard. With that, he bent over and did it neatly.

Wu Shuqun straightened up and said with a smile: "What's so hard about this little work, this year's yield is good, and the ears of rice are long!" ”

Lin Lan blushed and said, "I haven't come to see it twice, it's my dad and my brother who are in charge." ”

Wu Shuqun said with a smile: "What are you embarrassed about your own old man and brother, besides, they are much better at farm work than you." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Lan bent down and cut quickly.

The sickle used to cut the grain is different from the one used to cut the grass, the shape of the knife is very similar to a crooked crescent, the blade and the serrated teeth are the same, and the locals also call it the saw sickle. Every year, before the sickle is opened, it must be sent to the sharpener to open the sickle.

It didn't take long for the sun to come out, and the autumn tigers were particularly powerful, and the sun burned on the bare skin of the people harvesting in the rice fields, and it hurt hotly.

Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat, so they all thought about taking the grain back quickly, taking advantage of the good weather and drying up after two or three suns.

If you don't take advantage of the good weather, dry the millet, in case of a rain, the millet will be wet and will be covered and sprouted. No grain like that was given to the public.

Thank you for your monthly pass support! Thank you!
