"Bell, bell." The bell rang in Taoyuan Village.

Wang Xiujuan straightened up and bent her waist, and she slapped her back with her right hand, "My God, I haven't done this work for decades." ”

Ning Qingxi stood on the edge of the field, put his hands to his mouth and made a trumpet shape, "Milk!" Father! It's time to go home for dinner! ”

Wang Xiujuan walked out of the field slowly, and was supported by Ning Changrong, who had caught up with her, without taking two steps, "I said mother, or you won't do it, and I won't miss you." ”

Wang Xiujuan looked displeased, "Why don't you miss me?" This grain must be harvested as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the sun, and it will not be dried and put away when the time comes, and it will not become moldy? We've worked hard for this food. ”

Ning Changrong nodded and persuaded, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, why don't you change jobs in the afternoon?" You really can't bend over to cut wheat, don't give yourself any illness when the time comes, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

They also did not have enough tools for cutting wheat, and many of them were sharpened with stones, which were used with knives at that time.

Naturally, the efficiency could not be improved, and even the people who built the city wall pulled out a batch and harvested the grain first.

Ning Qingxi looked at Wang Xiujuan's tired face distressedly, "Milk, are you okay?" ”

Wang Xiujuan cheered up and smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's okay, what is this, your grandmother was in the countryside when she was young, and she didn't do farm work one day?" What she didn't say was that she hadn't touched the work in the field since she was admitted to university to become an obstetrician and gynecologist.

In order not to worry her granddaughter, Wang Xiujuan began to talk about her feat back then, "I think your grandmother was a labor pacesetter in the team, and she was rewarded by the commune!" What is this work? That is, I haven't done it for too long, and I'm not used to it, and I'll be familiar with it when I do it. ”

Most of the roads in Taoyuan Village have been paved with cement, and a lot of wheat has been dried at the gates of each house at this time.

Avoiding the wheat, Ning Qingxi's family returned home, the meal was made by Li Dafeng, she was pregnant with twins, her belly was already old, and she definitely couldn't go to the ground, originally Wang Xiujuan didn't think about what she was doing at home, just let her rest at home, but Li Dafeng couldn't sit still, the whole family went to the ground, she was alone at home, where was she embarrassed to sit and do nothing?

Then she helped make the meal, and the Ning family all ate at her house.

At the dinner table, Wang Xiujuan asked Ning Laosan, "Third, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and it's just a matter of these two months, you have to watch carefully." ”

The third child buried his head and took a bite of food, "Don't worry, mother, I know that when we are not at home on weekdays, Aunt Lin will come to help watch Dafeng." ”

Aunt Lin is the old wife of the shopkeeper Lin, Aunt Lin can't get off the ground, she only does some sewing and mending clothes on weekdays, and she does it wherever she does, so she simply moves to Li Dafeng, you can do it while chatting, and you can also help take care of Li Dafeng, if there is anything, you can help call someone.

Wang Xiujuan didn't have much appetite, so she put down her chopsticks after eating twice, "Okay, you just know it in your heart, I'll eat well, you can continue to eat, I'll go back and rest." ”

With that, he got up and left.

Ning Qingxi and Ning Changrong looked at each other, "Dad, let my grandmother change her life?" ”

Ning Changrong smiled bitterly, "Do you think I'm willing to let her do this job?" If you don't listen, you go to see this stubborn old lady, and you guess that you are hiding from the plaster, and you go to let her stop going in the afternoon after eating, and if you really want to do it tomorrow, you will do other work. ”

Ning Qingxi hurriedly finished his meal and left.

When she returned to the room, she quietly walked to Wang Xiujuan's door, and suddenly said, "Milk, what are you doing?" Slept? I've got something to look for you. ”

Wang Xiujuan inside was startled by the sudden voice, "Oh, I'm sleeping, you can stay for a while." As he spoke, he put away the bottles and cans in a panic and put them in the box.

When Ning Qingxi came in, Wang Xiujuan asked as usual, "What's the matter with Xixi?" ”

Ning Qingxi sniffed the smell of ointment in the air, "Milk, I'll take a look." She pointed to Wang Xiujuan's waist.

Wang Xiujuan looked puzzled, "What are you looking at?" Okay, I'm going to sleep here, if it's okay, or you can go back and take a nap, there is still work to do in the afternoon. ”

Ning Qingxi looked determined, "Don't pretend to be milk, I smell the smell of this ointment, I told you not to do it, you stubborn old lady hurt your waist, right?" ”

Wang Xiujuan didn't quibble when she saw that she was discovered, and sat on the bed, "This work is really tiring, when I was young before, I could do a woman who was similar to those men, and I could do it if a man could get ten points!" ”

Ning Qingxi looked like I knew, "Milk, you don't want to think about what age you are now, are you the same as before?" Besides, you haven't worked in decades, and you've been working in a hospital. ”

"My dad said you shouldn't go in the afternoon, and if you still want to do it tomorrow, you can change to some other light work."

Wang Xiujuan didn't want to insist anymore, if she continued to do this, maybe this waist would really not work, Ning Qingxi said this, she agreed.

In fact, it's not that she has to do it, it's really that in the days when she just cut the wheat, she told a lot of her glorious past in the countryside in front of her granddaughter.

"It's not okay to be old." Wang Xiujuan sighed with emotion, the ointment on her waist was pierced anyway, so she simply stopped pestering her face, "Xixi came to rub the milk." ”

Ning Qingxi looked at the plaster on her nipple, stretched out her hand and pressed it, and slowly rubbed it according to Wang Xiujuan's command, "See if you still like to save face in the future." ”

Wang Xiujuan lay on the bed, she has been strong for a lifetime, in front of her granddaughter, she has always been a strong, decent and elegant grandmother, but she didn't expect that her face was cleaned up after crossing over.

Ning Qingxi said while kneading, "Milk, you can use the wheat threshing machine tomorrow, although it is not easy to sit there, it is much more comfortable than cutting wheat." ”

The threshing machine was researched by Ning Qingxi according to the encyclopedia before the wheat was almost ripe, and now it has come in handy, but they lack iron, and the parts in it are replaced by wood.

In this way, the damage rate of wheat threshing day and night is relatively high, but fortunately, there are more and more carpenter apprentices who are out of the school, and they can keep up with the loss.

"It's really thanks to your threshing machine, otherwise it's a big problem."

Ning Qingxi felt that his hands were a little sore, shook his hands and continued to rub them, "Fortunately, we have an encyclopedia, and now I feel that I am about to become an all-round carpenter." ”

Although she can't do many things with her strength, but when she saw Carpenter Sun doing it, Ning Qingxi was also learning to try to make some parts by herself, although she couldn't be regarded as a successful carpenter for the time being, but it was about the same level as those carpenter apprentices.
