On the one hand, because there was no one in the village to help her, Shen Yunxi agreed to go to harvest rice with the whole family. After all, every family has paddy fields that must be harvested; On the other hand, Shen Yunxi hopes to get through the difficulties with the children, not only to unite the family, but also to let the children understand the hardships of life.

Know that every grain is hard.

The next day, when it was still dark outside, Zheng Guizhen got up.

Shen Yunxi saw that the baby was sleeping soundly, and he was reluctant to wake up, so he washed it gently. As for the children, when to get up and when to harvest the rice.

But when the children heard the voice, they all stood up one by one with their eyes closed.

In the fields, the sky is bright and the rice can be clearly seen.

Shen Yunxi cut two handfuls of rice, tied a knot to make a rope, and put it on the ground to bundle rice.

Children don't tie knots. Shen Yunxi and Zheng Guizhen tied the knot and put it away.

Tian Daniu, Tian Qiaoling and Tian Junling began to harvest rice.

In their homeland, they harvest wheat. Rice stalks are more difficult to cut than wheat, so they require more effort.

Shen Yunxi was very worried and reminded him: "Slow down, don't worry, be careful of your feet, don't get hurt."

Tian Daniu replied with a smile: "Mother, I'm very careful!"

"Don't worry, auntie. We'll take notice. Tian Qiaoling and Tian Junling also promised to be careful. They can cope with what they've done before.

Shen Yunxi began to harvest rice. She did it as a child, but rarely did it after school. I wasn't skilled at first, but slowly found my senses. Although the speed caught up, it was really tiring.

Zheng Guizhen is tall and strong. He used to be a good cropper at home, and now he is familiar with these jobs.

Although she is tired, she is now cheerful and happy.

Tian Xiuli baked green onion cakes and boiled eggs at home. In addition, there is a clay pot with rice soup at one end and a basket with green onion cakes and eggs at the other end.

Tian Xiuli locked the door and asked her younger brothers and sisters to go to Grandma Tian's house next door. She went to deliver food to her family.

At this time, every household in the field was busy harvesting rice, and the laughter of the villagers was faintly heard because of the harvest.

The laughter dilutes the hard work and brings the joy of harvest.

When she reached the ground, Tian Xiuli found a suitable place to eat and shouted, "Mother, aunt, brother and sister are here to eat."

Early in the morning, the labor of five people was very productive. They harvested two terraces, which covered 7 or 8 percent of the land. At this rate, they should be able to harvest three acres of land in a day.

After working all morning, everyone was hungry and came to eat.

"Everyone did a great job in the morning. Eat more. We'll come back to that later. Zheng Guizhen smiled. After washing his hands in the creek, he began to eat.

This morning, Shen Yunxi looked up at the results of the harvest and said, "Cutting rice is not the most difficult thing. This is a terraced field. We couldn't get on the ox cart, so we needed manpower to carry it. My sister-in-law and I are both adults, and we can carry it, but the children cannot. It's time to grow your body. We can't move something so heavy, and we won't be able to grow tall in the future. ”

Zheng Guizhen looked at her children. She can endure hardship, but she can't let her children carry rice. Even she would bend over, let alone a child.

At this time, Tian Daniu's eyes lit up, and he thought, "Mother, why don't we cut down the ears of rice, put them in a bamboo basket, and carry them on our backs?" As for the rest of the straw, we cut it down, bundled it into a big bundle, and rolled it down from above. You don't need to carry it on your back. You can push it behind you, or kick it. A large bundle of straw can roll down on its own. Can you save a lot of effort?"
