Chapter 87: You can teach, but you can't borrow
After Xu Yiyun came here, he watched Su Xiaoxia assemble everything, and then stuck the yoke on the neck of the scalper, and the scalper was not at all uncomfortable.
"Xu Yiyun, you are like this, hold this here, and then after the ox starts to pull the wooden plow, you can push forward with a little bit of strength, and wait for the ox to get used to it, then it's fine."
Hearing this, Xu Yiyun stepped forward to grab one end of the wooden plow according to what Su Xiaoxia said, and then used a slight force, and then saw Su Xiaoxia hit the scalper's ass with a branch, and the scalper began to move forward.
At first, Xu Yiyun felt a little stressed, but as the scalper moved, he found that he didn't need to exert himself at all, just keep the wooden plow, wait for the ox to pull in front, push himself in the back, and then go forward by the way.
With the help of oxen and wooden ploughs, it took less than half an hour to plow the field.
Of course, it's not just a matter of saying it once, after all, there are still rice roots on it, so it takes two or three times to go back and forth, but there are oxen and wooden plows, and Xu Yiyun doesn't have to work as hard as before, and this two fields will be dealt with in just over two hours.
The villagers have been waiting to watch, they just want to see the final effect of the ox plowing the field, but seeing that the effect of the ox plowing the field is actually better than that of people with feet and hoes, everyone has asked Su Xiaoxia for advice.
Su Xiaoxia looked at everyone, thinking that everyone had more or less said bad things about her before, but after all, it was made by the original owner himself, so she, a brand new Su Xiaoxia, decided to help these villagers.
If these villagers will treat her as well as Uncle Xu Jiu, Xu Dayan and Aunt Xu in the future, even if they are not very enthusiastic, as long as they do not fall into the well and treat her as a part of Xujia Village, she will not regret today's decision.
In the future, there will be benefits, and I will enjoy it with everyone, after all, I want to ease the stiff relationship with the villagers of Xujia Village.
In fact, everyone is not a bad person in their hearts, but they are just broken-mouthed, and the original owner himself is too annoying, so he complains and sneers at Su Xiaoxia so much.
Now seeing Su Xiaoxia helping them regardless of their previous suspicions and telling them how to get this wooden plough and rake, many people were ashamed and decided to treat Su Xiaoxia well in the future.
"Xiaoxia, why didn't you borrow it when we asked you to borrow the threshing machine, and now we ask you how to get this wooden plow, and you are willing to tell us?" Some villagers asked about their doubts.
When Su Xiaoxia heard this, she glanced back and said with a faint smile: "That threshing machine is not easy for me and Xu Yiyun to make, we had so many contradictions before, and everyone knows it, I really don't want to lend it to you at that time."
"And there are many people who borrow it, and this threshing machine is easy to break, so it's better to let you see that you can get one out of it."
She was not wrong at all, if she was asked to borrow it, she would never borrow it, but if she asked her how to make this threshing machine, she might also tell some villagers how to make it for the sake of some villagers who are not very bad to her.
After all, this kind of borrowed thing, once opened, many people will come to borrow it in the future, and ask one by two one by one, then her threshing machine will not have much life.
When the villagers heard Su Xiaoxia's words, they all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Everyone said before that Su Xiaoxia had changed, becoming more ferocious and irritable, and it was indeed the same, jealousy and hatred, when it was time to scold you, he would not be soft at all, but if he said that he would treat you well, he would really treat you well......
Now that they learned about the practice of wooden ploughs and wooden rakes, many people dispersed and began to look for wood when they returned home, thinking that they could get one out as soon as possible, so that when the rice was harvested, they could use wooden plows and rakes to plough the fields.
At noon, in order to quickly plough the remaining acres of more than one acre of land, Su Xiaoxia and Xu Yiyun did not go home, and they all relied on Shen Lan to send lunch.
Seeing the embarrassment of the two of them sweating profusely, Shen Lan helplessly used a straw hat to help the two of them cool off.
"You guys, what are you doing so hard? Just go home for lunch and have a good rest, and you won't waste a few hours! ”
"Mother, if we finish it early, we will be able to grow a variety of crops, and the fertilizer is just enough for this variety of stubble, and after a variety of stubble harvests, we will finally plant another stubble, that is, we will harvest at the end of the year."
Su Xiaoxia said while nibbling on the wild vegetable cake.
Hearing this, Shen Lan sighed, "It's really hard for the two of you, why don't you come and help you?" ”
"No!" Su Xiaoxia and Xu Yiyun shook their heads together, surprisingly tacitly understanding.
"Mother, it's so dry, you're still at home with the three little ones at home, you can look at the dishes, weave cages or something." Xu Yiyun said.
Hearing this, Shen Lan said with tears and laughter: "Your mother and I are not old yet, and we are not yet forty years old!" ”
"You have been tired for more than 20 years, and now Su Xiaoxia also knows to take care of the family, you can take care of the children at home, and leave the matter of making money and working to the two of us young."
After Xu Yiyun finished speaking, he swallowed the last bite of bread, and then got up and continued to plow the field.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxia didn't say a word, because what he said was good.
If it is modern, Shen Lan, who is in her thirties, is still young, but this is ancient times after all, the average age is fifty or sixty, and if she can live to be sixty or seventy years old, she is already a high life.
However, Su Xiaoxia looked at Shen Lan seriously this time, and found that Shen Lan's face was indeed a lot more around, and her black hair was also mixed with a few silver threads.
"Mother, when I make more money, you can be more idle, and when the time comes, I will buy a maid and a mother-in-law to serve you." After Su Xiaoxia finished speaking, she also ate the last bite of bread, and then a smile rose on the corner of her mouth.
"Hey! If you have this heart, your mother will be happy, you can earn money at any time, your body is the most important, your mother doesn't ask for anything, she just wants you to be safe, as long as our family is together, happy and happy. Shen Lan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Su Xiaoxia nodded heavily, thinking that at least before she left the Xu family, she would definitely be safe and happy with the family.
"Mother, I'll help Xu Yiyun, if you think you want to do something, and you don't know what to do, you can help me pick all the mustard greens in the vegetable garden, they have already been counted, but the small ones are not picked, and the big leaves are all picked."
"Huh? Take them all off? Shen Lan was stunned, "Our family can't eat so much!" ”
"It's not for eating, I'm going to use it to pickle sauerkraut, which can also be used as sauerkraut fish and stir-fried meat in the future...... Anyway, the effect is quite big, and it can be used to mix porridge and drink it. Su Xiaoxia explained.
Hearing this, Shen Lan seemed to understand: "Cheng, I'll pick it up for you and put it in the kitchen when I go back." ”
Su Xiaoxia hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, mother, you can help me clean it up when the time comes, and then dry it on the bamboo pole, it will take two or three days, and I will deal with the rest when the time comes." ”
"Good!"
