Chapter 320: Leaning
The Han family's house has already built all the brick walls, and now they are waiting for the walls to dry a little, and then put on the beams. At this time, the crops in the field have already sprouted, and it is time to sprout.
Yun Xue took her younger brothers to work in the field, while Yun Ni was at home to watch the family and cook. I also find a few carpenters at home to make doors and windows or something, and in these years, the carpenters work all by hand, which is very slow. I've been busy for twenty days, but I'm almost done.
The Han family planted more land this year, especially sorghum and millet, so there was more work now. The seedlings should not be too late, otherwise the roots of the seedlings will be too deep, and the roots of other crops will be injured when they are pulled out. In this way, the work is too rushed, Yun Xue looked at the large crops in front of her, and couldn't help but worry.
"Yun Zhen, Tianfu, we have to hurry up and work, we have to open all the seedlings in the next few days." Yun Xue admonished.
"Hey, eldest sister, don't worry, let's hold our hands tight, we should be able to do it." Yun Zhen bent over, his hands not stopping.
"Xue'er, why didn't you say a word to me and went down to work in the field?" Shen Hongjun's voice came from behind him.
Yun Xue turned around, but saw Shen Hongjun leading more than a dozen people over. "Aren't you going back to the state city? When did you come back? ”
A few days ago, the house was suspended, and then Shen Hongjun took people back to Zhoucheng. The Dragon Boat Festival is about to pass, and he has to go back to supervise and get some food for the soldiers stationed everywhere.
Yun Xue felt that she couldn't rely on Shen Hongjun for everything, and she still had to do what she could do. Moreover, the farming time could not be delayed, so he did not wait for Shen Hongjun to come back, and he took people to the field.
Unexpectedly, Shen Hongjun came back quite quickly, he had just gone to Han's house, and then Yun Ni said that Yun Xue had already gone to work in the field. Shen Hongjun was willing to suffer from the clouds, so he took people to the ground. Many of these soldiers also farmed at home, so it was difficult for them to do these jobs.
"Alright, let's get to work, let's get to work." Shen Hongjun waved his hand, and the dozen or so people behind him dispersed, each going to work.
Shen Hongjun also squatted down and began to sprout. What he was wearing was the clothes made by Yunxue a while ago, which were all coarse cloth shirts of peasant families, which were just more suitable for working in the fields.
Yun Xue was afraid that Shen Hongjun wouldn't know this, so she couldn't help but walk to Shen Hongjun's side and take a look, but saw that he was really doing a good job. "Ah, why are you still doing this?"
Shen Hongjun didn't look up, his subordinates didn't stop, "You forgot what I said before, I grew up in Zhuangzi when I was a child, and at that time, I followed the farmers to work in the fields every day, so I thought it would be good to be a farmer in the future." Later, I went to the Northwest Military Camp, where I also had to farm the fields, otherwise the soldiers would not have enough food to eat. ”
"I see, it's really rare." Cloud Snow Road. Every time she thinks of Shen Hongjun's past, Yun Xue will have a feeling of heartache.
"Okay, let's work, don't miss the farming time. Be careful yourself, don't be too anxious, it's not good to be tired. There are so many of us, it won't take a few days to do it. Shen Hongjun turned his head to look at Yun Xue and smiled gently.
Yun Xue nodded, and then returned to the place where she had just planted seedlings and began to work.
This kind of work is really tiring enough. Some people bend over, some people are half-squatting, this posture, it will not take long for a sore back. Fortunately, these soldiers are quite strong, but no one is tired.
The weather at the beginning of May is already a little hot, especially those of them who are basking in the sun, which will naturally be hotter than others.
Yun Xue finished a ridge of land, couldn't help but stand up and straighten her waist, and wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve. "Zhiyuan, I'll go back and get some water." She shouted, and then walked quickly home.
Yunni at home is also not idle, cleaning up the house and outside the house in the morning, and feeding these livestock at home. Then she boiled a big pot of mung bean soup. Whether it's working in the field or the carpenter at home, they all work under the sun, and they can't let their homes get hot.
When Yun Xue came back, the two sisters used a bucket to hold mung bean soup, Yun Xue carried the bucket with a flat pole, and Yun Ni held a few bowls in her hands and walked to the ground together.
"Master, let's go to the field to deliver water, Master looks at Yunxia." At the door of Han's house, Dong Lao, the Zhong family, the Li family and other old men were playing chess there. Yunxia was on a straw mat next to Dong Lao, and she was having a good time.
This is generally the case in the village, and after the age of sixty, there are very few people who work in the fields anymore. If an old man from a family wants to go to the ground, he will be seen by others, and he will laugh at his children and grandchildren. Yun Xue took Dong Lao over, but it was also to make him happy, but she didn't let him work. As long as Dong Lao is so healthy and healthy, he is actually stronger than anything else.
"Okay, you can do whatever you have to do, there is a master here." Dong Lao waved his hand.
The sisters came to the field, and the big ones were tired and thirsty, and they were resting there.
"Come on, I've brought mung bean soup." Yun Xue shouted loudly.
Shen Hongjun took the lead, and all the big guys walked to the ground, then picked up the bowl and scooped up the mung bean soup to drink.
Yun Xue scooped a bowl and handed it to Shen Hongjun, "Drink it quickly, it can quench your thirst." ”
Shen Hongjun took it and took a big sip directly. The mung bean soup has been cooled, and when I drink it, I feel that the heat is completely gone, which is very comfortable. "It's still Yunni's heart, and she cooked mung bean soup in advance, and it's really comfortable to drink it this day." He took two more sips and drank up the mung bean soup in the bowl. "One more bowl."
Yun Xue gave another bowl, "Don't worry, drink slowly, there are still at home." ”
Shen Hongjun drank another bowl before shaking his head. The two of them sat side by side on the ground, Yun Xue took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Hongjun, "Wipe the sweat, you are sweating on your head." ”
"As long as I drink water, I sweat easily." Shen Hongjun smiled, took the handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from his head. "The land here is so good, it's black and oily, and you can grow good crops at a glance. It's just that there are too few people in the family and a lot of land, if you just point to your sisters and brothers, it's really enough to do it. I think it's okay to hire a few long-term workers at home, or buy a few people. Save yourself from working in the fields every day. ”
Yun Xue smiled and shook her head, "Where has it gotten to that point?" It's only about 60 acres of land, and it's not hundreds of acres or thousands of acres, so you don't need it. That is, there are too many sorghum millet planted this year, so it is laborious. In the future, if you grow more corn, you won't be so tired. ”
Yun Xue has never thought of buying any subordinates, and the Han family is just a little better now, and it has not yet reached the point of being rich. Besides, they are all young and strong, and they should do it themselves, and they still have to do it themselves.
Shen Hongjun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as well. After all, the environment in which he lived since he was a child was different from Yun Xue, and for him, it was too normal to have a subordinate at home, so he suggested it just now. But if you think about Yun Xue, maybe it's right, the Han family doesn't have so many industries and needs to buy them.
"It's that I've thought a little more, but your brothers and sisters are so capable, and they will definitely not be in such an industry in the future. Sooner or later, you'll have to buy someone, but it's better to think about it sooner. Shen Hongjun suggested.
Yun Xue thinks about it, it is also such a reason, as long as the other side of the river does not make a fuss, her own life will definitely get better and better. In the future, maybe you really won't be able to do it yourself, and you will have to use someone else. "Okay, I've got that in mind." She nodded in agreement.
"I don't want you to be so tired all day long, look at you, it's not bad to raise in winter, but it's tanned again this time, and your face seems to be a lot thicker. Look at this hand again, it has also become thicker. Shen Hongjun pulled Yun Xue's hand and examined it carefully. Pay attention to yourself and wipe something often, you know? ”
The two of them were chattering there, and the soldiers next to them were almost gone. One by one, they had a tacit understanding not to look at Shen Hongjun's side, but they all lowered their heads and went into the field to work again.
"Eldest sister, I'll go back first." Yunni saw that everyone was not drinking, so he took the bucket back.
Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun realized that everyone had gone to work, "Let's go, let's work too." After another stretch, it's almost time to go back to dinner. Zhiyuan, you all eat at home at noon, and I'll go back and get a few dishes later. ”
"No, let's go back to the camp and eat. There's food over there, and I've got a lot of it back this time. You're going to have to go up the beam or something in a few days, so you can save a little if you can. Shen Hongjun refused, "By the way, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, do you have anything to prepare at home?" ”
Yun Xue only remembered at this time, "Ah, I was so busy that I forgot, it turned out that the day after tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival, and I forgot to prepare everything at home." Yun Xue said with annoyance.
These days, Yun Xue is busy and dizzy, where can I think about the Dragon Boat Festival? If Shen Hongjun hadn't mentioned it, she might not have thought of it until the days passed. "Tomorrow I'll let Yunni soak some rhubarb rice, and then I'll take the time to go to the town to get some rice dumplings and come back. This year's days are tight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare anything. ”
"Alright, you don't have to prepare anything, I'll have someone bring it to you later." I made all the preparations in the state city yesterday, and I originally planned to send them to you in the evening. Shen Hongjun smiled, he had already guessed that Yun Xue, who was careless, must have fainted from his work.
Yun Xue was a little embarrassed, as if she didn't want to think about anything since Shen Hongjun came. I feel that I have something to rely on in my heart, and my brain is too lazy to move. It seems that relying on one person can sometimes make people dull their brains. However, the feeling of being cared for is indeed very good, and Yunxue enjoys this kind of care very much.
"Zhiyuan, thank you." Yun Xue said softly.
The Han family's house has already built all the brick walls, and now they are waiting for the walls to dry a little, and then put on the beams. At this time, the crops in the field have already sprouted, and it is time to sprout.
