Chapter 167: Autumn Harvest
Zhuanghu people cherish clothes, there are special clothes in the ground, He got up a few early in the morning, they all put on some shabby coats, their hair was wrapped in a handkerchief, and they wore straw sandals on their feet, so they took a pot of mung bean tea that made a night last night, this is still the way He thought about it, there was no drink in the summer day, so he soaked the mung beans with boiling water accidentally overnight, and got up early to warm mung bean tea, put some white sucrose, quench thirst and quench heat, Qibao loves to drink.
Chen couldn't rest assured, so he took them to the field together, although she couldn't do heavy work this year, it was okay to do a little bit.
He Lao drove the ox cart to the town with five day laborers before dawn for three days.
Walking around in the cornfield, the sun can't shine, it's good, but the corn strips will prick people, He Zao only stayed for a while, and the little face and the back of his hands were scratched several times, itchy and painful.
She listened to Suosuo's movements over there, and sighed secretly, since ancient times, she has always been the hardest worker! Facing the loess with your back to the sky, you may not be able to mix a full meal!
Because she and Qibao are young, afraid of missing out, so the two of them are each responsible for the three, Chen and He Chun'er, Sibao is responsible for the five, He was in his previous life, the family's fields were zoned as scenic spots for planning, and they have not been under the ground for many years, and they are afraid that they will leak points, this corn is planted with great effort, it would be a pity if one or two are missing, so it is not greedy, not greedy, and follow behind with Qibao honestly.
Shippo was too small to follow her.
She turned her head to look, and she could still see Qibao halfway to the center of the corn stalk, her little face was flushed, her small mouth was digging tightly, and she was collecting corn without saying a word, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.
The corn is collected and thrown into a pile so that it can be returned and bagged.
In the middle of the morning, when the sun had risen high, the He Zao family took a short rest, got out of the cornfield, sat down under the persimmon tree at the head of the field, and took turns drinking water.
He Chun'er took out a few white-flour egg cakes from the basket and distributed them to a few people.
This was specially baked yesterday, and seven or eight eggs were beaten, and pure white noodles were used, in order to enhance physical strength, after all, the children of the Sanfang family were too young, and they had to be responsible for four acres of land, which was not a small amount.
After working hard for most of the day, sitting in the shade, blowing the breeze, eating white flour cakes, and drinking two sips of mung bean tea, He Zao felt, well, this day is also very happy!
Qibao ate quickly, and ate a half cake in a row, and then touched his little belly comfortably, and he was still unsatisfied: "It's full!" ”
Chen didn't eat much, just watched them eat, and after eating, He Chun'er said: "Mother, you can clean up and go home to cook, the sun is also high, don't get sick from the heat again, you have to spend money on medicine." ”
Chen hesitated, looked back at the four acres of fields connected together, but blamed himself very much, after the separation, the family relied on her and the child and his father, but she vomited blood and damaged her body bones, resulting in no heavy work can not be done, her father was already hard in the early days, and now it is even harder, even a few babies can not rest well.
Seeing that her face was gloomy, He Zao glanced at Sibao.
The latter also hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, you go back quickly, let's collect it for a while, and we will go back, I see that I have to make more lunch today, and look at Qibao's little belly, which is about to burst and eat." ”
Of course, Qibao was hungry, so Qibao pouted his little red lips dissatisfiedly: "I don't have the fourth brother to eat for many miles." ”
His big wet eyes complained to He Zao: "The second sister also eats many miles more than me." ”
He Zao was a little embarrassed, she hadn't worked like this for a long time, and naturally she was very hungry, so she ate desperately.
"In this case, I won't go back first, I and Qibao will bag the corn, and you will continue." Chan came up with a compromise.
Bagging corn is not too heavy a job, and He Zao did not refuse.
Chen is a strict self-disciplined person, and she will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing when several children are busy in the fields, but she is hiding at home.
When He Zao went into the cornfield again, she thought that eating white flour cake alone would not taste good, should she improve it a little more?
The four acres of land of Hezao's family are connected to the medium field of the old house, but the old house still has more than a dozen acres of high-quality fields, and the family naturally picks up the high-quality fields to harvest them first, so the two families did not touch them on the first day.
Chen was busy bagging until almost noon, and then hurried home to cook.
There is a special stew of chicken stewed in the morning on the stove, also known as two catties of lean meat, stir-fried with green peppers in the pot, and scrambled eggs and tomatoes, and then made a pot of meat dishes, the so-called meat dishes, also known as Hui dishes, as the name suggests, is to mix all kinds of vegetables together, including vermicelli, meat, green vegetables, potatoes, etc., in fact, it is best to add yuba and cabbage, but there are no two dishes in this season, so they are replaced by green vegetables.
Another big pot of small rice was simmered.
The corn in the field is thrown there, and then pulled back together in the evening.
Originally, she said that Hao He would watch it at noon today, but after thinking about it, she let Sibao watch it and came back with her.
He Chun'er is the eldest sister, she takes care of her younger brothers and sisters very much, and after picking up two mouthfuls of rice, she thinks about the four treasures that have not yet eaten, and she is about to leave after packing the food and carrying the basket.
Chen hurriedly filled another bowl and let them eat it together on the ground before letting her go.
When harvesting crops, there is a word called "harvesting", that is, fighting with God, because the autumn harvest and autumn planting are the most likely to rain, and if the seeds are sown before the rain, the wheat will definitely grow well.
If the corn has not been harvested before the autumn rains, then this family will definitely make the villagers laugh.
So after lunch, the family was busy getting off the ground again.
He Zao was busier than anyone else, picking up two mouthfuls of rice, so he ran to the grocery store first, weighed a few catties of pork belly and came back, Chen was still a little strange, and after a while, he saw her put a pot on the small stove to boil water and stew meat.
didn't think much about it, urged her, and the family hurriedly went to the ground.
He Zao waited for another half an hour before he also went down to the ground.
When he came into contact with the curious eyes of the four treasures, he deliberately pursed his lips and smiled, looking mysterious.
In the evening, when it was almost dark, they had not waited for He Laosan, they had said before, the ox cart would first collect the high-quality fields in the town, and then let He Laosan come back to pull the family's few acres of land.
Who knows, left and right, but no one came.
He Chun'er was a little anxious: "Could it be that something is wrong?" ”
There is also a distance from the town to the home, and He Laosan can't make a mistake by driving the ox cart.
This is unlucky, if Sibao and a few people say it, Chen will definitely scold, but when He Chun'er said it, Chen moved his lips and didn't make a sound.
When he was waiting for anxiety, suddenly there was a sound of driving an ox cart in front of him, He Zao was overjoyed, and hurriedly jumped up and looked around, it was towards his own field, but that person, why did he look like Uncle He?
Chen's face was also suspicious.
