Chapter 90: The Medicine Seedlings Are Coming

Brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou guessed that the old lady would probably not come back for breakfast when she went to Lejia, so she didn't wait, and ate breakfast with her children first, took the household goods, and set off to cut the crops.

Of course, Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming did not fall behind, especially Zhou Chunmei was reprimanded by her father yesterday evening, and she didn't dare to mess with her father again, washed off the nail polish on her hands and toes, and didn't dare to put on makeup in the morning, tied up her hair, took a straw hat and went to work with her.

In the double robbery season, every family is busy grabbing the harvest, they all get up early, go out early, and you can see people everywhere on the village road, Brother Zhou's family has just arrived in the village, and some of the people who have gone out to work early have cut a large piece of rice.

Le Yun and Zhou Qiufeng waited for Brother Zhou to work for a short time before leaving, Zhou Qiufeng rode Xiao Lele's bicycle, carried the girl, went out of the village, and drove along the natural mud road between the farmland to the place where Brother Zhou cut the crops.

Brother Zhou's first rice harvest field is Lejia, and it is also the largest piece, near the ditch, facing the road, and Lejia's fields are almost next to each other, which is convenient for farming, and therefore, if Lejia does not plant himself, the village has many people who are willing to contract.

The four members of the Zhou family all waved their knives to cut rice, put down a small piece, and saw Zhou Qiufeng, the Zhou family's sisters and brothers were hindered by the elders, and called "Aunt", Le Yun greeted Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming very happily.

Zhou Tianming was very embarrassed, and he bowed his head to cut rice.

Zhou Qiufeng and Le Yun didn't care about other people's attitudes, and took a professional sickle with a sharp mouth and specialized in cutting rice, and walked to the other end of the field to start work.

Jiudao Township is located in a remote mountainous area, built in the flat land between the mountains, the paddy fields are not particularly much, the Jiudao Township Government is located around a few villages slightly more, when the field was divided into households, an average of one person more than six points of the field, at that time Lejia had a total of four people, a total of two acres and seven acres.

Later, in the late nineties, because the land contract right could be transferred, Lejia bought three and a half acres of land from others, several acres of land, because Le's father needed money for a broken leg, resold a few pieces of land, if not sold, a total of more than ten acres of arable land, according to the previous field, Lejia was also a solid family at that time.

Lejia now has a total of a little more than six acres of paddy fields, including the garden in front of the house, and more than seven acres of cultivated land, including the economic forest land of the mountain forest.

Lejia's largest field is a piece that is being harvested, there are two acres and four centimeters, almost two acres and five, into an irregular type, the field is very wide, the Zhou family of four is cut in the field, Zhou Qiufeng and Le Yun cut from the end of the field, far away.

Zhou Qiufeng is a well-known fast hand in Meicun, cutting rice and planting fields, the hand speed is extremely fast, said second among his peers, did not dare to call the first, only the previous generation has a fast hand can compete with her, therefore, when she started, she could only hear the sickle cut the seedlings "swish" sound and the sound of rice ears colliding.

Le Yun's previous speed was not slow, after opening the hanging, well, don't talk about the speed, she bent down to start work, people kept moving forward, leaving a hand of seedlings behind, and the stalls were neatly arranged.

Zhou Qiufeng was busy for a while, heard someone gasping wildly, stood up and looked over, and found Sister-in-law Liu standing on a ridge above Lejia Datian looking down, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister-in-law Liu, what's wrong?" ”

Sister-in-law Liu stood on the ridge, looking down from above, she could clearly see everyone in the field of Lejia, she was looking at it dumbfounded, and when she heard Zhou Qiufeng ask her, she looked at Zhou Qiufeng, and then looked at the other side of Zhou Qiufeng: "Qiufeng, the people in the row opposite you and the edge of the ridge are Lele?!" ”

"yes." Zhou Qiufeng replied casually, turned his head to look over, and also hissed, is it really Lele over there?

In just a short time, a large piece of rice fell on the other side of the ridge, and I saw that someone kept bending down and lowering his waist, and the sound of swishing was so dense that it seemed that several people were working at the same time.

Zhou Qiufeng immediately trotted up, bypassed a piece of uncut rice, and stood in the vacant place where the grass was cut and looked at the child, only to see Lele lowering his head, grabbing the rice seedling stalk, waving the knife, and the movements were almost uninterrupted, and the speed, she couldn't reach it.

After watching it for a few minutes, she silently ran back to her position and smiled at Sister-in-law Liu: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, we are old." ”

"I just want to say that you stepped on shit, pick up a good girl for nothing, both civil and military." Sister-in-law Liu is so jealous, her family's pair of children are also relatively good, not embarrassed because they were born in the countryside, and they also help work in the fields when they go home, but if they are compared with the Lejia girl, her children are squeamish, if you compare Zhang Jing, Le Yun dumped Zhang Jing for more than a dozen streets, and Zhang Jing couldn't catch up.

The Lejia girl is a good reader, has a good temper, has filial piety, goes up and down the mountain, and is proficient in housework.

Therefore, Zhou Qiufeng married Lejia, which was really a big bargain.

"You're jealous, I don't mind." Zhou Qiufeng was not ashamed, and laughed proudly.

Sister-in-law Liu snorted a few times, and went to work by herself, her family still has a seedling field without pears, and she can help the Zhou family cut the grain tomorrow after getting the last field.

The morning is cool, the villagers rush to cut the rice, the efficiency is higher than the afternoon, so the general weather is sunny in the morning to cut the grain, the afternoon threshing, if you see the weather is not raining, the day before the seedlings are cut, the next day threshing, the weather is not very good, do not dare to do that, in case of rain, the millet is soaked in the field by water, one day and one night will sprout.

The weather was excellent for the past three or five days, many of them were cut down on the first day, threshing on the second day, and soon there was the rumbling sound of the machine everywhere, as well as the sound of the pear field machine, and the field was very lively.

Zhou Chunmei cut a few hands of rice seedlings and stood up, took a break and then started work, she was also the slowest one, and the others went far away, so she cut down a small hand.

She cut a row close to the ridge, and every time she stood up, she saw a large piece of it on the opposite side, getting closer and closer to herself, because she didn't see anyone, she always thought it was her aunt, and she didn't care, and when the sounds became tighter and closer, she stood up and looked.

I don't know when the person on the other side is already approaching her, and the distance is only five or six meters away, and then, she sees the person, it is Le Yun!

Zhou Chunmei looked at the swaying rice seedlings, the whole person was not good, what speed was that? She watched for several minutes, lowered her head to do something, and there was another intense bang, and soon, the two bumped.

"Sister Chunmei." Le Yun cut a few seedlings and opened a side, and when she saw Zhou Chunmei staring at herself, she screamed, lowered her head, and went to cut the rice again.

Zhou Chunmei watched, watching Le Yun put down a piece of seedling that she hadn't cut, and then forward, the width of the row of rice that Le Yun cut down was equal to twice as much as her, and the total area was incomparable

She looked at Le Yun, her face flushed red, gritted her teeth, found a point to cut into, and silently cut the rice.

Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou didn't notice it at first, when the whole field was put down in half, the Zhou family couple found out that the Lejia girl's god-level speed, they were stunned at the time, and what was even more depressing was that the Lejia girl's hand speed was fast, she didn't seem to know what the back pain was, and it was rare to see her standing up straight and resting.

There is a super fast classmate Le, there is a fast Zhou Qiufeng, more than two acres of field, and it will be cut down in less than an hour.

The expressions of the four members of the Zhou family are particularly exciting.

Get the largest piece of land, go to the second piece, next to the field, that is, the other piece of the field obtained by Lejia that year, only two and three cents, and the field together is exactly two acres and seven points.

Xiao Tian was handed over to the Zhou family brothers and sisters, and the Zhou family husband and wife and Le Yun Zhou Qiufeng went to the third piece, a little below Xiao Tian.

Grandma Zhou carried the zongzi to the field at ten o'clock, Zhou Qiufeng and others had already cut several fields, and when Grandma Zhou saw Xiao Lele's cutting speed, her eyes were about to fall into the field.

The old man was too frightened, when everyone ate, she was still a little dizzy on the way home, and because of the speed of the little classmate, she was seen by several villagers, so the reputation of the girl with fast hands slowly spread.

At the same time, because of the existence of Liu's sister-in-law, the news of Zhou Qiufeng's marriage to Yueqing also spread, and when she heard that the Lejia girl's hand speed was faster than Zhou Qiufeng's, the villagers could accept it, but when they heard the news of Zhou Qiufeng and Yueqing's marriage, everyone's jaws fell to the ground in shock.

When it was nearly noon, the sun was hot, and the villagers did not finish their work until nearly 12 o'clock, and the Zhou family and others almost cut down all the rice in Lejia's paddy field.

When he got home, Zhou Qiufeng wanted to feed the piglets and see if the hatched chicks had shells, Le Yun went back to the room and ran back to the space, frantically collected matsutake mushrooms, picked all the fungi in more than a dozen pots and went out again, and went to Zhou's house to eat.

Grandma Zhou was happy, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were hit hard, so they didn't say anything.

At noon, there was only a little more than an hour of rest, less than two o'clock, the villagers went to the field under the sun, and the Zhou family was no exception, using a tricycle to pull an electric threshing machine, diesel engine, and tools, and hurried down to the field.

After the electric threshing machine starts, it will turn non-stop, as long as the rice ears are fed non-stop, the four people of the Zhou family and Zhou Qiufeng of Le Yun are a total of six people, two rounds, just this round of rice threshing, down, another round of making up for it, the machine is never empty, fuel-efficient, and efficient.

When the grain in the threshing machine silo accumulates for a certain period of time, people will be evenly packed with grain, and some people will continue to thresh; Over and over again, there were more and more bags of millet.

Cutting is very fast, threshing may not be able to keep up, the main thing is to evenly out people to load the grain, every time you have to refuel, move the machine, finish beating a field, but also tie the straw, and all the straw is moved to the ridge or open land for storage, to the field to release water.

Therefore, after half a day, the Zhou family did not thresh all the grass cut down in the morning, and there was still a piece.

In the past, the Zhou family planted Lejia's field and only gave a quarter of the grain, but when it was harvested this year, Brother Zhou remembered his sister's merits, five or five points, and assigned his sister's hard work for half a year to Lejia.

The rice is weighed in the field and the grain is divided, and each field weighs the total weight first, and then weighs half of it, and divides the bags containing the grain into two piles, one for each family.

Zhou Qiufeng unceremoniously accepted it, saved a certain amount and sent it home first, moved some upstairs to dry, because there was no grain harvest in the morning, the floor in front of the Lejia house was still given to the Cheng family to dry the grain first.

The Zhou family didn't finish work until it was almost dark, Le Yun and Zhou Qiufeng returned home, Le Dad did the housework well, and also helped the girl take back the medicine that was sunburned, piled up the millet dried upstairs, covered it with a rain cloth, and cooked the meal, waiting for the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter hurried to eat after taking a shower, because they still had work tomorrow and went to bed early, in fact, Zhou Qiufeng didn't feel how tired she was, so she couldn't resist Yueqing's insistence and rested early.

Le Yun eats space products every day, has a lot of strength, and does not have backache at the end of the day, and runs the space at night to work hard.

The next day, the same harvest was made.

The Cheng family also finished the last bit of work and went to the Zhou family to help, Cheng Youde's cousin Cheng Youliang was also listed, his wife went to collect grain for her mother's family, and only Cheng Youliang went to the Zhou family to work.

As soon as there were more people, Brother Zhou only managed to transport fertilizer into the field and pear fields, and because there were enough people, the remaining fields of the Zhou family were all cut in less than half a day, and there was still time to thresh in the morning, and in the afternoon, all the grains were successfully completed.

had dinner at Zhou's house in the evening, and Dad Le also passed;

The light came again, also on the 31st.

Zhou's family began to plant seedlings, to the middle of the morning, Zhou Qiufeng hatched a nest of chicks out of the shell, Zhou's grandmother guarded for a long time, to help pick up the shell, because the weather is too hot, can not be baked, more than ten o'clock put a nest of chickens in the Lejia back garden to play.

Le Yun went home at noon, saw the fluffy chicks, happily played, secretly stole the dragon and the phoenix when feeding the chickens, poured out the water to feed the chicks, replaced it with the well water in the space, and used the well water to soak rice for the chicks.

Double robbery, everyone comes out of the morning, returns at sunset, there are many people, the Zhou family only takes two and a half days, except for the seedling field, the others are done.

And the Cheng brothers also learned what is called "all-rounder", what is called a cow, the Lejia girl cuts the grain fast, the straw is fast, the threshing and threshing speed is fast, the rice planting, special, that makes people want to beat her, the speed is faster than the hen pecking rice, the distance between the seedlings seems to have been measured, the length and width are about the same.

The Cheng brothers have only one expression: a capital suit!

Originally, many people heard that the Lejia girl was a fast cow, and some did not believe it, so they deliberately took a detour to observe, but as a result, they went with doubts and went back in disgrace.

Those who witnessed it had only one thought: please come to my house to help next year!

The Cheng brothers went home after eating at noon, or went to help good people, or busy with their own affairs, and the Zhou family couple and Zhou Qiufeng Leyun went to clean up the seedling field in the afternoon.

Sprinkle agricultural fertilizer, pear fields, sprinkle compound fertilizer, rake again, and you can plant seedlings.

When Brother Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng were spreading compound fertilizer, Le Yun's mobile phone rang, she probably guessed who it was, took out her mobile phone, took a look, connected the phone, and said a few words to tell everyone that there was a courier package on the street, and she went home to pick it up.

Brother Zhou and other elders let the music rhyme be casual, and Zhou Chunmei gently muttered "I clearly want to be lazy", but she didn't dare to say it loudly.

Le Yun heard Zhou Chunmei's muttering, but she didn't care, pedaled her bicycle, rushed home, took a backpack, took out a bundle of money from the space, and flew to the village street.

It was not a street day, there were no stalls on the streets, and the sun was so strong that even a few stall owners who were selling fruit and frozen meat on the side of the open air went to the street shops to avoid the sun.

The bus shuttle from the county seat to Jiudao Township has not yet arrived, and the open-air parking lot and street are empty.

Le Yun pedaled the bicycle, arrived at the place, and took a look, well, there was no one anywhere, she parked the car, sat on the car, opened the umbrella, etc.

About seven or eight minutes later, a motorcycle county town into the direction of Jiudao Township, the owner of the car looked all the way, when he saw the person with an umbrella, went straight to the target.

When Le Yun saw the approaching motorcycle, a big smile bloomed, and what she wanted finally came.

When the motorcycle stopped, Le Yun also collected the umbrella and threw it in the basket of the car, saying hard work to the man in his fifties, and smiled apologetically: "Classmate Le, right?" I'm sorry, I'm late, it's the first time I've come here, and I'm not familiar with the road, so I went around to Shangzhuang Township. ”

"It's okay." Rhyme means understanding.

The owner of the car parked the car, untied the plastic basket in the back seat, untied the rope, moved the basket to the ground, opened the lid, and placed green branches inside, and below were two bags of medicinal herbs in a dirt bag.

"You click a little bit and see if the number is right." The man brought the bag out and asked the little classmate to count it himself.

Le Yun squatted down to look at the herb leaves, a pack is angelica, a bag is ginseng, or a relatively small seedling, ginseng grows a leaf a year, look at the leaves to know that all are annual, angelica is also very small, probably also the current year and two years old.

"No need, I trust you." She didn't count, confirmed that there was no adulteration, lifted the bag and put the front basket of the bicycle, put both bags in it, and then covered the branch that the owner had thrown aside to block the sun.

The owner closed the basket, put it aside, and went to open the back box again, and took out a large package of dried medicinal herbs to the little classmate.

Le Yun put the dried medicinal herbs in his backpack, took out the money to pay, paid a full three thousand, the owner counted, wiped the sweat, and smiled in his eyes: "Little classmate, if you still need medicinal materials to call us in the future, we will still deliver them to you." ”

He and his friends rented ginseng and angelica in the Shennong Mountains, as well as dendrobium, generally only sell dried products, the day before yesterday received a call from a young classmate, to buy fresh ginseng and angelica, they really did not want to take the business, one is a small business, the other is, the requirements are too high, to just dig out the seedlings.

They thought about it again and again, and finally took over the business, because the person who bought the medicinal materials was the top science student in Province E, don't forget, the little champion studied at the Medical Department of Qingdao University, and the people who studied medicine have a direct connection with the medical materials.

Business connections are very important, so they promise to deliver to the door, cash on delivery, if there is no one to pick up the place, it doesn't matter, anyway, the medicinal materials are still in their hands, just lose some oil.

"Okay, if you still need it, I will give priority to your medicine garden." Le Yun is happy to be kind to others, although she has suffered a loss, a freshly unearthed ginseng is 200 yuan, and Angelica is 50 yuan a tree, the asking price is very ruthless, who told her that she is now in a hurry to need ginseng and angelica seedlings.

The most important thing is that she is too young to ride a motorcycle, and it takes time to go to the medicine garden to buy it, and ask someone to buy it on her behalf, that is, she has to owe people a favor and explain the reason, it is too troublesome, and the medicine garden is willing to deliver it to the door, so it is more expensive.

Even if it was a polite reply, the owner of the car also expressed his joy, and advertised the medicinal materials he planted without a trace, tied the plastic basket, and said goodbye to the little classmates.

After buying ginseng and angelica seedlings, I rode my bicycle back to the village, rushed home, threw most of the seedlings into space, left a few in bags, put them in the living room first, locked the door, and went to work in the fields.
