Chapter 88: Harvesting the Wheat (12)

On the other hand, Qian returned home, put the wheat stalks on his shoulders into the shack, drank a sip of water, and without a moment's rest, he plunged into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.

Light the fire, wash the pot, wash the vegetables, cut the vegetables, stir-fry the vegetables......

It proceeded step by step in an orderly manner, and after about half an hour, the Qian family cooked the dinner, and after bringing the meals into the hall one by one, he called Ru Yi, Yuan Liang, and Yuan Shu to come out for dinner.

Hearing the shout, the three of them came out of the room in unison, and the family of four gathered together happily, although there was no delicious food tonight, but they all ate very happily to each other.

After dinner, the four of them took turns to wash up, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

……

In recent days, the weather is very good, there has been no rain, so that the village people harvest wheat a lot faster, unlike in previous years, harvest a few days of wheat, followed by several days of rain, a rain can not harvest wheat, then miss the best harvest time of wheat, so that the yield of wheat is greatly reduced, the villagers can not pay taxes, life is miserable.

After ten days of busyness, the only four acres of wheat at home were finally harvested, although the wheat was all cut, but it was also the ears of wheat connected to the wheat stalks, only half of the completion was completed, so in the next time, I had to start busy threshing the wheat.

It is not more modern here, there is no harvester, rice threshing machine, rice mill, if you want to turn a handful of wheat ears into wheat grains, it is necessary to rely on manual completion, sometimes a day is busy and tired can not beat a few deniers of wheat, so this wheat is both time-consuming and laborious work.

……

This morning. Ru Yi got up from the bed sleepily, came to the kitchen to wash, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she felt that the kitchen was a little deserted, and she couldn't feel the smell of cooking smoke at all, she was stunned for a moment, in the past, at this time, the Qian family was cooking breakfast, why didn't there be a figure today, and there was no sign of a fire in the kitchen?

"Mother, are you up?" Ru Yi stood in the kitchen and shouted towards the house, but he didn't hear anyone reply for a long time, worried that Qian was sick, so he walked towards Qian's room.

It's just that before he walked to the front of Qian's room, he saw Yuan Shu rubbing his eyes and walking out of the room, his eyes were half-closed, half-asleep and half-awake, and he didn't look awake at first glance.

Yuan Shu stretched a lazy waist, yawned, and after doing this, he opened his eyes in a daze, and when his vision was clear, he saw that it was Ruyi, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Ru Yi replied: "Oh~~ I didn't see my mother in the kitchen when I got up this morning, and I didn't see any signs of a fire in the kitchen, I was worried that something had happened to my mother, and I wanted to go to her room to have a look." ”

Yuan Shu paced outside and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my mother is not at home, but I went to Aunt Wang's house to borrow a car." Today we are not going to the wheat field to beat wheat, my mother said that the three of us women have little strength, so a burden is also tired of panic, just Aunt Wang's board car is empty, I plan to borrow it for use, I think it is estimated that this time should be back soon! ”

Ru Yi bowed his head lightly and did not speak back.

She was straight, standing under the eaves with her hands in her hands, looking up at the vast sky through the small courtyard, her face as calm as a pool of water.

Something suddenly came to mind in his mind, turned around, and asked Yuan Shu: "Ashu, how is the Xiupa embroidered by asking you a few days ago?" Is it embroidered? I've been so busy these days that I forgot to ask you. ”
