Chapter 364: Hard Harvest
"Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~"
After drinking a bamboo tube of salt water in a row, Qin Jiang finally felt that he was alive again.
Now is the time of harvest, call it summer harvest, and it is too late, call it autumn harvest, and it is too early, it is not appropriate.
At harvest time, young people like Qin Jiang, who are sturdy and in good health, are strong laborers, and they are the main force of the harvest.
Now everyone is working overtime to collect food, so he doesn't even have time to go back to eat at noon, there is no way, the village is afraid of accidents, the whole village is mobilized, and no one can be idle.
Now that the weather is good, if it drags on for a few more days, there is a greater possibility of accidents, and if God does not give face, it rains heavily, and the rice will be blind, and I don't know how much rice will be knocked out by the heavy rain.
After all, this rice is not like corn, the target is big, and it is very conspicuous, and the rice is a small grain, and it is very difficult to pick up if it falls on the ground.
Compared with the unknown future weather, the villagers would rather be tired in these days, harvest the rice, beat the grains down and dry them, blow off the empty shells with a hair dryer, hand over the public grain, and divide the grain, which is the most simple and natural wish of the villagers.
It would be great if it all went according to plan.
"You drink slowly, it's too urgent to drink all at once, it's not good for your health."
Like her, she has a deep understanding that sometimes if you drink too quickly, your throat will be very painful, and it is clear that she is drinking water, but her throat seems to have been cut by something, and she has to slow down for a while before she recovers.
"Okay, I'll drink slowly." Qin Jiang was also obedient, saying that if you slow down, the speed will really slow down.
The main thing is to drink water, after a few seconds of eager demand, now the demand for water is not so urgent, slow down a little!
"Tomorrow I still have to bring two more bamboo tubes, see if you are thirsty."
Although Qin Xi also has to go to work, she has to go back to cook, so in terms of time, she is quite generous.
After all, you can't afford to skip meals if you do heavy physical work!
If you don't eat, no matter how good your physical strength is, after five or six hours of continuous work, you can't stand it.
The Qin family is also Qin Jiang, Qin Xi and Wan Yao, Wan Yao is still a child, and it is almost the same as picking up rice ears behind adults, let her go back to cook, Qin Xi is not at ease, and in the end she has to come by herself.
She couldn't ask for it, it was too hard to cut rice, her waist was about to be tired, and she was willing to leave an hour early to go back to cook.
The side that Qin Jiang is currently working on is the farthest field in the village, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk from the village, so even if there is two and a half hours of rest at noon, Qin Jiang and they did not go back, but waited for their family to bring them food.
After all, after working for so long, I was already very tired, and if I walked back and forth for so long, I would lose the strength to work, so I simply found a place to rest for a while under the pine tree not far away, and waited for dinner.
"Okay, bring two more bamboo tubes of water tomorrow, otherwise there won't be enough to drink."
In the past, when there was still water in the creek, there was a lot of groundwater rising up, which was cool and moist, and it was cool and thirst-quenching to drink, and the people who worked did not need to bring water at all, not even the tools to hold the water.
It's hot! Even the wind blowing over was warm, not only did it not bring coolness, but it also raised the temperature, and after so many days, everyone was as black as a piece of carbon, men and women alike.
In the past, when cutting rice, you have to worry about insects such as locusts, this year is not needed, the ground has long been cracked, and even the mouth is a finger wide, not to mention locusts this year, even the insects are less than in previous years, but there are more grasshoppers, jumping around in the field, very annoying, but it is limited to this, the number has not come up, after all, it is not a climate.
After Qin Jiang drank the water, Qin Xi took out his lunch box from the basket, the lunch box was full, and the pressure was called a real, it had to weigh about a pound and a half, this meal was really a drizzle for Qin Jiang, who had a growing appetite, there was no pressure at all, and after all the meals were eaten, he could only eat seven or eight points full.
He can eat seven or eight points full, which is already the best food in the village, enough to make people envious, no matter how much, it is not only envy, but also the food at home must be saved.
This pine forest is not big, it is more than 200 square meters, sparsely pulled more than a dozen big pine trees stand here, this pine tree was connected with the forest behind it before, however, the village is cleared, and now there is a little left here, and I don't know what the use of leaving this point is.
There are a lot of people resting here, and everyone sits on the ground, and they don't feel dirty, and they start eating directly, even if their hands are full of mud and dust.
There are no such elaborate conditions here, everyone is the same, and no one should laugh at anyone.
Qin He sat next to Qin Jiang, Liu Mei also came to bring him food, if the relationship between the two parties is good, it can be sent by one person for a day, division of labor and cooperation, both sides are trouble-free, but this is not the relationship has not reached that point!
In Qin Jiang's lunch box, in addition to the wild vegetables mixed with chopped chili peppers and soy sauce, there are two pieces of preserved fish, which are steamed with chopped chili peppers, before that, they were soaked and boiled, fortunately, her actions were not disappointed, the preserved fish is not very salty, and it tastes very fragrant.
Compared with Qin Jiang's box lunch, Qin He's bowl of rice is the same as pig food, although it is also sweet potato rice, but when Liu Mei cooks rice, she doesn't look at the fire, the heat is a little over, there is a little bit of paste, and when the rice is eaten, there is a burnt smell.
In addition, it is a dish, as long as it is a dish made by Qin Xi, even if it is a wild vegetable, it is also washed cleanly, in hot water, blanched, wrung out, and mixed with condiments, the taste is refreshing and delicious, but Liu Mei made a salted boiled wild vegetable, bitter is not good, the wild vegetables are also old, it is simply difficult to swallow, in addition, there is a little bit of moldy beans in his bowl when the family is divided during the New Year, simple is really simple, and it is really trouble-free.
When Qin He saw this bowl of food, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, if it was possible, who wouldn't want to eat better.
His food here is not good, other people's, but not bad, most people have meat and oil in their bowls, the meat is bacon, a few thin slices, but it is the greatest reward for hard work.
This is doing heavy physical work, not eating enough, not eating well, not eating meat, not eating oil, will not be able to withstand it.
Qin He ate with the meat and sesame oil, plus he was indeed hungry, and he ate very quickly, and the taste was not paid, and a big bowl of rice went down to his stomach.
Other people's speed is not slower than him, and what they eat in their mouths is their own, and children who grew up in the countryside have a deep understanding of this sentence.
