When it was pulled to the threshing field, Wang Peng also came in with the wheat, so Zhang Taiping asked, "How is the harvest going?"

Wang Peng parked the car there and was not in a hurry to put down the stack of wheat. He came to Zhang Taiping and handed out a cigarette and said, "This is the last car. How long does it take to cut two mu of land in a day?" He lit a cigarette and said, "Is the big brother finished cutting? If not, I will help."

Zhang Taiping knew that he really wanted to help and not like others like Anyang who just wanted to play tricks, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's just finished cutting, no, this car is also the last one."

"I see that there are quite a lot of big brother's houses this year. How much land?" Wang Peng asked, looking at Zhang Taiping's land in the big field, which was full of wheat stacks.

Zhang Taiping didn't have anything to shy away from him, and said: "There are five acres in total, my own four acres, and I also helped Lu Feng's family cut an acre."

"The five mu of land was cut so early, why did you ask Mai Ke for help?" Wang Peng was a little surprised.

"There's no one named Mike, just three people."

"Three people? The old man also went to the ground?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "No, it's like water."

Wang Peng was even more surprised: "That woman can also cut wheat?"

Xing Rushui had already gone back to prepare lunch with Cai Yazhi, only Fan Ming and Tiantian Yaya stayed behind, Fan Ming was unhappy when he heard this, frowned and said angrily: "Hey, Bai Sanlang, why is that woman not that woman?" Yes, do you think you are the only one who knows how to cut wheat?" Because Wang Peng has the potential of being a little boy, and he sometimes gets offended, Fan Ming nicknamed him "Bai Sanlang" after getting to know him well, which means little boy. Desperate Saburo.

Wang Peng was not angry at Fan Ming's questioning, but just smiled.

Zhang Taiping asked: "Is your wife not with you?"

Wang Peng replied: "Sister Zhuang originally wanted to go to the field together to help, but my mother refused to let her go because she was afraid that her fetus would move, so she stayed at home and cooked."

"Huh? Sanlang, you've only been married for a few days and you have a child?" Fan Ming asked with wide eyes, then reacted and asked in a low voice, "Bai Sanlang, you can do it, it turned out that you were pregnant before marriage, hehe."

Wang Peng was horrified by Fan Ming's look, and he argued, "Where is she pregnant before marriage? I just learned that."

Fan Ming was moved by his statement and didn't argue with him, just smiled and looked at him with strange noises.

This is Aunt Wang's voice from over there: "Peng'er, first unload the sheaves of wheat and I'll take the car back." Hearing what his mother said, Wang Peng hurried over, feeling a little lost smell.

On the way back after harvesting the wheat, Fan Ming asked, "We finished cutting today, can we grind it tomorrow?"

Zhang Taiping pulled Yaya and Tiantian who were sitting in the car, shook his head and said: "Not yet, we have to wait for two more days for everyone to finish cutting, and by then the wheat ears planted on the field will be almost dry. Everyone piled up stacks of wheat on the sidelines to make room for the field to grind one by one."

"Oh, that's it. Wouldn't it be useless to cut it so early?" Fan Ming asked.

"You can't say that. It's definitely reasonable to cut it early. The wheat must be cut when it grows there. If you don't cut it, if it dries up in the field, it will fall off as soon as you touch it. At that time, you will be left with empty wheat." What's the use of the ears? Besides, if there is a continuous rain, the wheat grains will sprout on the ears. Only when they are received on the field are they considered safe."

When the meal was not ready at home, Zhang Taiping sat in front of the door and said to Yaya: "Bring that bundle of straw, Dad will weave a grasshopper cage for you."

Yaya Deng Deng Deng ran over and carried over the straws that were placed here. These straws were selected by Zhang Taiping, and the ears of wheat on them were peeled off. They were all long and straight and used for weaving things. It couldn't be better.The first and third elementary students moved a stool to sit beside Zhang Taiping and watched her knitting.

I saw Zhang Taiping's hands fluttering up and down, like dancing butterflies. Such dexterous hands should appear on women or people with a feminine temperament, but they just appeared on a two-meter-tall rugged man.Fan Ming was a little stunned by the strong visual difference.

In less than 1 minute, the base of the cage appeared, which looked like a hexagonal Frisbee.Zhang Taiping seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy, with both hands stretching, twisting and twisting, weaving the long straws.Fan Ming was in a daze, Yaya and Tiantian watched Zhang Taiping's serious expression, but Ye Ling watched Zhang Taiping's bouncing up and down, and kept it silently in his heart.

Not long after, a grasshopper cage came out. In fact, it is more accurate to say it is a lantern.The bottom plate is a hexagonal base, the middle is a hexagonal hollow column, and the top is a curved canopy with lace.If you draw a thread on it and pick it up with a pole, it will become a lantern carried by the girls and maids during the Lantern Festival in ancient times.On one side of the hexagonal prism in the middle, there is a small door that can be opened and closed, and this is the place for the grasshoppers to enter.

Passed this to Yaya, and with the expectant eyes every day, quickly made another one for her.Then weaved six or seven in one breath, and didn't stop until there was not enough straw. After a little thought, I started to start again. After a while, a bird with wings spread out came out.

After Fan Ming saw this, she grabbed it in her hand, causing Yaya to feel dissatisfied, and stared at her.Fan Ming raised his chin and said, "You already have a lantern, so this little bird belongs to me." Yaya didn't know what to say, so she turned her head angrily and ignored her.

Zhang Taiping smiled at the bickering between the two of them, and said to Ye Ling: "Ling'er, you can also take a cage."

Ye Ling chose one of the remaining six, and then went out with Yaya and Tiantian to catch grasshoppers.There are still five identical lanterns left, this thing is delicate and beautiful, Zhang Taiping doesn't mind using it to decorate the house or giving it to others.

The three of Yaya came back not long after they went out, each with one or two grasshoppers in their cages, followed by a large group of boys and girls, all of them looked enviously.Although there are quite a few people in the village who know this craft, there is no one like Zhang Taiping who has the spare time and effort to weave this kind of thing to amuse the children, so the cage of the three of Yaya immediately attracted a large group of children after they went out.

Yaya came forward and handed the cage to Zhang Taiping and said, "Dad, look, I caught a flying grasshopper. It screamed the loudest, and it also had a knife." The knife-shaped thing that came out.The child got something good and always wanted to show it off in front of others, so Zhang Taiping praised her a lot.

Tian Tian asked a more practical question: "Uncle, what are you feeding this grasshopper?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Just feed them pumpkin flowers. There are a lot of pumpkin flowers beside the orchard. You can pick some and feed them later."

These are two boys who appeared to be two years older than Yaya came out of the group of children. They handed the bag in their hands to Zhang Taiping and said, "Uncle handsome, this is a grasshopper caught to be fed to the chickens." Zhang After Taiping took it, one of them said, "Uncle handsome, I don't want money anymore, can you give me a cage?" Maybe a cage is much better than money in the eyes of children.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Of course." Then he handed one to him, and asked the one next to him, "Do you want a cage too?"

The little doll nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.Zhang Taiping also handed him one.The two little boys walked into the group of children holding the cage, and immediately greeted countless pairs of envious eyes.It made their chests straighter even more.

Zhang Taiping said: "Anyone who wants a cage can exchange it with grasshoppers. A hundred grasshoppers make a cage. When they exchange, they can bring some straw." When the children heard the good news, they all ran away immediately. Go catch the grasshopper.

Ye Ling cooed twice, and immediately another chick came over. She took out a part of the grasshopper from the bag and dumped it on the ground. Come a bunch of chickens and ducks.When the yard was full of chickens and ducks, Ye Ling dumped all the grasshoppers in the two bags on the ground, so that the grasshoppers would not be afraid of running away.

Grasshoppers are the most beautiful delicacy for chickens and ducks, and they scramble and scramble into a ball.Unexpectedly, the two parrots also joined the ranks of snatching, and they yelled loudly while eating, "Shuang! You are dead." "Shuang! You are dead." I don't know where these two guys learned these words.

On the contrary, Xiaoxi flew over and stood on Zhang Taiping's shoulder with a very humane disdainful expression. Xiaoxi never ate meat, let alone worms wriggling on the ground. Picky, don't eat anything that isn't good.

After eating and having nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhang Taiping sat in the yard and made all kinds of small items, not just grasshopper cages, but also all kinds of interesting things he could think of.Then some got up and some let Fan Ming go to a suitable place in the house.

Ye Ling was dexterous at that time. He watched for a while beside Zhang Taiping, and after a little guidance from Zhang Taiping, he mastered the key points of weaving, which are nothing more than the four words of threading, pulling, folding and twisting. The weaving looks decent, although it is not as fast and delicate as Zhang Taiping's, but it is enough to make people admire the dexterity.Zhang Taiping even thought she was a knives learner.On the other hand, Fan Ming also wanted to learn, but he couldn't master the simple four-character key, so he had to give up and decorate the room with things made up by Zhang Taiping.

With the attraction of the grasshopper cage, the little ones became more active in catching grasshoppers, and after a while, an exchange came, handing over the grasshopper and holding the cage, all happy.

In the evening, Zhang Taiping didn’t even remember how many gadgets he had made. Anyway, each little doll could weave several straws. a bunch.
