Chapter 68: Rush to Harvest
"It's been very stuffy for the past two days, and it's not May yet, why do I think this temperature is wrong?"
In the evening, a bowl of shredded pork noodles was eaten, and Mei Youqian, who ate it, was sweating profusely.
After eating, he also drank a large bowl of unused tea that Bai Riwei had made beautifully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It doesn't look good these days."
Not only did Mei Youqian notice that something was wrong, but Wei Meili also said this while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
She listened to the movements of the plum berries feeding the mules and the "fighting chickens" in the yard, turned to her husband and chatted and asked, "Is the wheat in the field okay these days?" ”
"It's okay, I heard them say that it can be harvested after two more days."
"Can't you collect it in advance these two days?"
"Huh? In advance? But the next home is talking about how many days, but I can't see what the difference is in the past two days. ”
Mei Youqian scratched her head when her wife asked this, and asked, "Are you afraid of bumping into the wheat harvest when you do this tea drink?" ”
"Where?" Wei Meili shook her head, "You can do it after the Dragon Boat Festival, but you said that the weather is not good, I am worried that it will rain when the wheat is harvested, the kind of rain that can't be stopped." ”
"Really?" Even if he hadn't planted for many years, Mei Youqian understood the terrible meaning of Wei Meimei's words.
If it rains all the time during the wheat harvest, it really means that these people who live by harvesting in the field will die!
"I'm just guessing, this weather, it's okay to say in the next day or two, I'm afraid of ......"
"Hey! It's a pity that there is no weather forecast at this time! ”
"What is the weather forecast?"
As soon as she entered the house, she heard her father sigh, and seeing her parents with sad faces, she wondered what had happened when she had been out for so long.
"That's ......" Wei Meili said her worries, and at the end she blinked her big clear and stupid eyes that knew nothing about farming.
She herself was numb.
"What happens if it rains and the wheat is not harvested in time?"
Plum Berry asks her parents questions while carefully recalling the plot of the book.
What does the female protagonist do after the male protagonist leaves?
The heroine is doing business, and the best of the Lao Mei family are hot and come to make trouble again......
The weather, the harvest, and the plum berries rubbed their temples and found that it seemed that nothing had been mentioned during that time.
"It will mold, it will sprout, and all the hard work for half a year is gone."
"Then let's ...... about it."
Before Mei Berry asked if she wanted to find the heroine, she saw her father suddenly stand up and say, "I'll go to the village chief." ”
Seeing that her father said that he would go out this big night, Mei Berry looked at her mother suspiciously.
Seeing that her mother didn't mean to stop her, Mei Berry couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking for the village chief?" ”
"It's about the whole village, so naturally we have to find the village chief."
Wei Meili saw that Mei Berry still didn't understand when she heard it, she didn't feel it, and poked Mei Berry's small brain with her hand and said:
"If we really guess correctly, this weather may continue, then this year's wheat harvest is ironclad. If the whole village had been damaged by that time, our family would have been relatively small,
When the time comes, we will know that we will act in advance, and we will know in advance when we see it.
Since we know and don't remind everyone, will we get along with other families in the village in the future? ”
Plum Berry was silent after hearing this.
Also, this kind of thing related to a year's harvest, a bad harvest is not a matter of one or two families, and in the end, even if their own family keeps some wheat, it will make more people resentful.
It's just that Wei Meili and Mei Youqian may have underestimated the wisdom of these croppers who have suffered from a small disaster in three years and a major disaster in five years.
They thought they had noticed it in advance, but when Mei Youqian found the village chief in the evening, the village chief was also talking about it to some of the old farmers in the village who were really experienced in farming.
Later, Mei Berry and Wei Meili were washing their feet at home when they heard the sound of gongs outside.
Soon after, Mei Youqian arrived at home, and without saying a word, he just said: "The village chief said that he will start collecting it tonight." ”
At this time, Wei Meili looked out of her yard, and in the black light, countless torches began to light up from the village......
Following his parents to harvest wheat at night, plum berries are still the first time.
But she didn't have to go to the field, she just had to lead the mule cub and load the wheat from their two acres of land home.
In ancient times, the best yield of wheat per mu was only more than 300 catties per mu, and this time it was harvested in advance, and the yield could not be estimated with the family.
"Berry Bao, if there is no one around when some of the harvested wheat is transported back, you will directly collect it in the space."
At night, the feeling of the day's sultry heat gradually subsides, but the wind gradually blows is even more frightening.
Many families are harvesting wheat faster, and many are moving it away one after another.
"By the way, go back and put away all the tables, chairs and benches in the living room, and put some out of the house for the time being, don't put them outside the yard."
Mei Berry took the mule cub to carry the weight for the first time, and Wei Meili and Mei Youqian told Mei Berry carefully.
Plum Berry listened attentively, and then took the mule cub through the field and at home to repeat the exercise.
Tonight's harvest was basically attended by the entire village.
It's just that the whole people rushed to collect it, but everyone in it reacted and dealt with it differently for this rush.
Someone is racing against time like the Plum Berry family, cutting it here, piling it up there, and then finding someone to carry it home.
There are also some families who are not in a hurry to take back the wheat, but directly on the nearest threshing floor to thresh the wheat first.
It is said that it is completely threshed and moved back to the province.
Regarding this kind of behavior, Mei Youqian heard that the corners of his mouth twitched for a while.
He doesn't understand, he's in such a hurry, and he still cares about provincial and local affairs, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to harvest it when it rains heavily?
However, there are still many people who choose this kind of behavior, after all, some people are not like plum berries and their family is only one or two acres, how can it be cut here, and so many acres of wheat over there are all pulled home along with wheat straw and ears of wheat?
There's really nowhere to put it!
Plum Berry didn't know how many times she had run with the mule cub at night, she only knew that the deeper the night, the stronger the wind.
When she pulled the mule cub towards the last three of their wheat fields again, a drop of cold rain hit her face.
Smack.
Immediately after that, the second drop falls before the plum berry reacts to the first drop.
At this time, I don't know whose house in the field suddenly screamed "It's raining", and Meiberry woke up like a dream, pulling the mule cub and running towards his own field.
"It's raining?"
Some people have just harvested all the wheat in the field, and before they have finished the pile, they feel the rain falling from the sky like jade beads on their heads and faces, and the whole person is dumbfounded at first, and then his face is pale, and he also shouts.
"It's raining! Hurry, hurry up and get home! ”
"Oops, my wheat!"
"Hurry home!"
In the dark, Mei Berry only heard all kinds of shouts around her, and by the time she arrived at her own field, Wei Meili and Mei Youqian had already piled up the last five points of wheat.
Seeing Mei Berry coming, they hurriedly let the mule cubs carry most of them, and the rest of Wei Meili and Mei Youqian also carried them, and the family hurried home.
The rain was so heavy that it hurt not only the wheat but also the people.
On the way home, there was a group of people who didn't know whose family was crying and grabbing their own wheat.
The desperate cry sounded a little numb to Mei Berry's scalp and legs.
I don't know why, Mei Berry suddenly remembered Mei You and their family.
I don't know how the heroine and them are doing this time.
Mei Berry subconsciously wanted to find Mei You's figure, worried that their family would not have livestock to help, and the speed of harvesting and transportation would be slowed down.
But soon reality gave the plum berry the answer.
A slender figure, carrying a burden in the dark, walked like a fly, and jumped directly in front of the plum berry who was trotting home.
Although Mei Berry didn't see the other party's face clearly, she was sure that the person just now was Mei You.
Because, no one can pick two loads at the same time, and wheat can go so fast and so fiercely!
