The next day Zhang Taiping took out the blade and sharpened it again, and put it on the sickle frame.The blade of this kind of sickle is separated from the knife holder. Since the blade is made of hard steel for sharpness, it is extremely sharp when used, but it is easy to break the thin edge of the blade tip. Generally, several blades are prepared, and the blades can be changed at will.

When everything is ready, it will be mowed in the afternoon.

At this time, Cai Yazhi came over and said: "I suddenly remembered that there is no colored striped cloth in the house. If it suddenly rains heavily, it will be terrible. I should buy a colored striped cloth."

After she reminded Zhang Taiping, she realized that there was nothing in the house that could keep out the rain, so he rode his bicycle to the town and bought a piece of large colored cloth that was 20 meters long and [-] meters wide. It can not only cover food when it rains , It can also be used to dry things at ordinary times.

In the afternoon, except for the old man who was persuaded by Zhang Taiping to go back, everyone, big or small, went into the ground.

Others in the whole wheat field have already been working in full swing.In fact, people like to replace the word "Xia" for "Xia Harvest" with the word "Qian".No one can say for sure about the weather in summer. Maybe the sun is still shining brightly at this moment, but it will turn into a storm before the meal is finished. It is not uncommon for people to soak in the rain while basking in the sun.

Only when you grab the threshing field can you be considered a little bit safe, at least you can cover it with something when the rain comes.Hey, if the wheat is still in the field when it is ripe, but it rains suddenly, then we can only wait for the green wheat to grow together with the corn.

Zhang Taiping has two acres of land, and the main scythes are Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi. Although Xing Rushui has never done this kind of work, he seems to be brave enough to try it.So the three cut it, and Fan Ming took three little girls to sit under a big tree to make kidneys.

This is easy to say, that is, to twist two straws together, but it is not as easy as it is said, at least Fan Ming is not as good as Ye Ling.

Fan Ming couldn't help asking in amazement: "Ling'er, have you ever done this job before?"

Ye Ling smiled and said, "After grandma got sick, I did all the harvesting by myself." At this moment, the ten-year-old girl's face was mature beyond her age.

"Linger, you are really amazing!" Fan Ming exclaimed, "I can't do anything."

Ye Ling smiled and didn't bother with this issue anymore. There was really no need to show it off, life forced it. Otherwise, how could an age who should be studying in school know how to play with a scythe?Tell Fan Ming about the various essentials and tricks of making kidneys.But Yaya and Tiantian had already gone to the edge of the ground to catch grasshoppers.

Among the three, Cai Yazhi is the most proficient at cutting wheat. With her left arm in her arms, the sickle on her right hand was slashed underneath. There was a chirping sound, and the large piece of wheat that she was holding in her left hand fell down, and the stubble on the ground fell. Low and neat, six or seven strokes is a big bundle.

Zhang Taiping is also a person who has never been on the ground. He should not know how to use the scythe like Xing Rushui, but his physical coordination and learning ability are a bit abnormal. After watching Cai Yazhi's movements twice, he has mastered the essentials. With wingspan and strength, he will be the boss with a scythe, and quickly become the main force among the three.Although Xing Rushui is also a martial arts practitioner with good physical coordination, he is not as abnormal as Zhang Taiping, and he can barely cut it with a scythe, but he is not as smooth as Cai Yazhi.

Seeing that Cai Yazhi's pile was getting a bit small, Zhang Taiping said, "The bundles should be larger, so it will be easier to load them on the car."

After Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui found the way to cut smoothly, with the efficiency of the three, Fan Ming and Ye Ling's kidneys were already in short supply.So Zhang Taiping had to cut the kidney while making it.

At this time, three people, two men and one woman, came in from the nearby field. They put the water bottle on the ground and began to cut. The cutting speed was quite fast, but the cutting was a bit messy, and the scattered wheat branches were full. The ground is full, and space has speed but no quality.Most of the scattered ears of wheat were wasted if no one paid attention to them, besides, these three people Zhang Taiping didn't know each other at all.

Just when she was about to ask a question, Cai Yazhi raised her head and saw these three people, and said to Zhang Taiping: "These three people are mikes called by the daughter-in-law of Wang Yangzhi's family. There are quite a few, so his wife invited three Mikes."

Mai Ke is a person who cuts wheat for others during the busy summer. These people are usually from other places. They cut the wheat just to make money, not for their own. The purpose is speed, and the waste is a bit big.

"Oh? Maike." Zhang Taiping was a little surprised. With the widespread use of harvesters, it requires less human effort. It is rare to see Maike, and it is only in small towns where such modern machines cannot go to the ground. It can only appear in mountain villages.It feels like a throwback to the 90s.

Zhang Taiping stood up and moved his body, and said to the two women: "Take a break and eat a watermelon." When Zhang Taiping came, he put two big watermelons in the trolley. Ye Ling under the big tree shouted, "Linger, bring the watermelon here."

All four people, big and small, came over, and Yaya was still holding a plastic bag in her hand, which was half filled with grasshoppers, and said to Zhang Taiping that this was the result of the two of them this afternoon.

"Why are you catching so many grasshoppers?" Zhang Taiping asked. He saw that some of the grasshoppers in the plastic bags were already dead.

"Go back and feed it to the chicks. The little hen can lay three yellow eggs after eating it." Yaya said, blinking her eyes.

Zhang Taiping slapped himself on the head, it was really funny, he even forgot this, grasshopper is a high-protein substance, and it is the favorite of chicks.Said to Yaya: "You call other friends to catch it together."

Yaya shook her head and said, "Heizi and the others took it back to feed their own chickens."

Zhang Taiping said: "You can tell them to sell grasshoppers to our family for a penny." One penny is one penny, and one hundred is one yuan. One yuan is very attractive to the four or five-year-old dolls in the mountains. .

Yaya's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she felt that this idea was a good idea.Zhang Taiping's heart was moved to wait for the wheat in this field to be harvested, and drive the chickens and ducks at home to peck the grasshoppers by himself.

Seven people sat around and ate a big watermelon, which quenched their thirst and was delicious.After eating, they each performed their duties and began to work.

Suddenly, the plump rabbit jumped out from Cai Yazhi's side with a loud bang, which startled her. After the rabbit ran desperately, Cai Yazhi patted her chest to continue the knife, but found a rabbit's nest in front of her.

"Come and see, here is a litter of little rabbits." She called out to Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui.

Zhang Taiping went over to look, and there were six little rabbits who had just learned to crawl in the nest, their eyes were not opened, and they felt something strange nearby, and they all curled up in a ball in the grass nest.Zhang Taiping's heart moved, he had always had the idea of ​​raising some rabbits on the grassland in the space, but these days he was busy all day and didn't have time to do these idle things, and it was a chance to meet a litter of little rabbits.

He said to Fan Ming and Ye Ling who were surrounding him, "Think of a way to bring these little rabbits home and raise them."

Hearing this, Ye Ling skillfully weaved a straw hat-like nest out of straw, filled it with soft grass, put six little rabbits in it, and handed it over to Yaya and Tiantian for safekeeping.

One advantage of working in the afternoon is that the more you work, the cooler you will be, the more energetic you will be, and the more efficient you will be.In the evening, two-thirds of the two acres of land had been cut off by the three people, and the remaining one-third would be finished in another half morning tomorrow morning.

"You guys go back first, and I'll do the rest." Zhang Taiping looked at the night that shrouded in darkness and said.

Cai Yazhi still had to cook when he went back, and then he had to bundle and load the cart. When he was pulling, he was too strong to push the cart behind, so he didn't stay to help.

All five of them left, only Ye Ling insisted on staying to help Zhang Taiping.Zhang Taiping tied them up, so she moved the bundled wheat stacks to the side of the cart, but after all, she was small and weak, so it seemed very difficult to carry one bundle at a time.The small body gritted its teeth and insisted on moving a bundle to the side of the car, which made people look distressed.

Zhang Taiping said: "You don't need to move, come and talk to the master."

Naturally, he had to obey the master's words, and these stacks of wheat were too big and heavy for him to move, so he came and squatted next to Zhang Taiping and watched him tie up the stacks one by one.

"Do you want to go to school?" Zhang Taiping asked suddenly while binding wheat.

Ye Ling's eyes lit up after hearing this, he hesitated and struggled for a while, and finally nodded lightly: "I think."

Zhang Taiping didn't know what she was worried about, but as long as he wanted to go to school, he said, "Then I will send you and Yaya to school together when the new semester starts in September this year. Have you ever been to school before?"

Shaking his head: "There was no school in the village before, but my grandma taught me Chinese characters and arithmetic."

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Then I'll give you a test when your little sister comes back from summer vacation, to see what grade you're in and what grade you're suitable for."

Ye Ling nodded happily.

After the tying was finished, they first loaded a cart. Ye Ling wanted to help push it behind the cart, but Zhang Taiping didn't feel worried about letting her walk behind alone in this mountain, and said, "You walk in front of me." In this way, she will always appear within the scope of her vision, and she will not worry about any accidents.

Pulled the car to the big field, the whole threshing field was planted with wheat stacks, only the space in his own house was empty, after the car was unloaded and planted, Ye Ling went back first, and he went to the field to pull the field by himself. It took four times to pull back all that was cut today.
