Chapter 735 Competition
Huang Yongmao responded, sighed a few more times in his heart, and stood beside Mingguang obediently.

Xiao Shitou's childish voice sounded again: "Big Brother, Xiao Shitou is by your side, you don't know how to teach you with Xiaoshitou."

The little boy stared at Huang Yongmao with a pair of big black bright and pure eyes with a smile, and continued to defend Huang Yongmao.

"Shitou, hurry up and work, what can you do? Your brother Mingguang is so smart, dad sees that he has already learned everything, and if he teaches the petty officials, you will have nothing to do." Shitou's father stopped Xiaoshitou, but The tone is gentle, with a smile on his face.

"Oh, then there's Brother Lao Mingguang." Xiao Shitou looked at Mingguang with a busy smile, and imitated the adults with clasped fists and saluted.

His words elicited laughter from everyone, swaying in the fields with the wind.

Only Huang Yongmao, who bowed his waist and buried his head, didn't smile, and there was a little light in his eyes.

This little child comforted him several times and helped him out of the siege, he was still a little moved in his heart.

At this time, Shitou Niang and three women came over with a threshing bucket, and they wanted to beat the harvested corn stalks by the side of the bucket to break out the corn kernels.Behind the woman is a little girl, about the same age as Shitou, who is Qiuju's aunt's little girl, called Zhuxiang.

Those three aunts are all Zhuang women in the village, and they are very close to Mrs. Shitou. They will come to help each other when they are busy on weekdays.

"Brother Shitou, I'm coming." Zhuxiang happily ran to Shitou's side.

Xiao Shitou immediately rolled his eyes with a smile, greeted Zhuxiang, and then said hello to the three aunts.Zhuxiang greeted Mingguang and the others.

"Brother Mingguang, let's compete and see if we can cut faster or my mother and the others can beat faster." Xiao Shitou suddenly suggested.

"Okay, let's compare." Seeing her son's challenge, Shitou winked at the three women, and immediately accepted the move with a smile.

"It happens that there are four people on both sides. If the men can't beat the women, it will be embarrassing." One of the women joked loudly.

The four women are good at work, especially the threshing and threshing work. They are so handy, so they are not afraid of competition challenges at all.

If they win, they also have the confidence; if they lose, they may not be able to turn to them.

Thinking of this, the four women were all smiling, as if they were determined to win.

"There are five people here, and there is Xiao Shitou." Xiao Shitou protested.

Aunt Qiu Ju teased him: "You are not considered a human being, you can only be regarded as a little monkey."

"Aunt Qiu Ju, I can cut corn very quickly, ask my father if you don't believe me."

"How could I lose to you women." Shitou's father did not answer his son's question, but solemnly waved his sickle and said, "As a man, I will not bully your women. The previous cuts don't count, so put them aside. From now on Start now, cut here, fight over there, fair game!"

Little Shitou nodded and said, "Father is right! Little Shitou cuts here and Zhuxiang hits there, so the number of people is the same."

When he said this, several adults looked at the formation of both sides, and it was true, five men and five women, with a child in each of them.

Aunt Qiuju smiled and said, "Okay, although our side is full of young and old women, we still have the confidence to win you."

The four ladies beside her nodded their heads heavily, as if they were determined to win.

"We can't lose." Ming Guang whispered.

"Of course, we will definitely win in the end!" Dad Shitou deliberately raised the volume so that the opponent could hear him clearly.

Now even Huang Yongmao became interested, the women and a little girl on the opposite side spoke loudly, wanting to win us men, what are you kidding?

So he squeezed between Mingguang and Shitou's father, and shouted at the women: "You guys are dreaming big heads, how can you beat us? Isn't it?" After shouting, he gave Mingguang and Shitou a wink.

Little Shitou jumped up happily, and echoed, "Big brother is right."

Mingguang said that Huang Yongmao said that he could not do it with his mouth, but he had to put it into practice.Whether we can win or not depends on everyone's performance.Don't underestimate your opponent, otherwise you may lose in a mess.

This time Huang Yongmao did not refute, but nodded, eager to try: "Then shall we start?"

"Now you are active. Don't yell like you did just now, like a girl." Zisong took his words and said back, but her tone was relaxed, with a smile on her face.

Zisong was very happy with Huang Yongmao's willingness to compete.

Ming Guang bowed to the women, then turned to Shitou's father, "Uncle, shall we start then?"

Father Shitou nodded, and went over to discuss with his wife and the others. The harvest here is finished, and they will be carried directly to the designated place, and they will pick it up there.As long as one side fails to connect five times, that is to say, the other side waits five times, it is considered a loss.

After setting the rules of the game, Father Shitou came over and told everyone, and specifically told them that they must be five bundles more than them.

Huang Yongmao immediately rushed to say that there is no problem, and Ming Guang took advantage of the situation to provoke him: "You say there is no problem, but don't let you hold us back when the time comes."

"No, no, no matter what, I have to compete with us men."

Although Huang Yongmao didn't speak this sentence very confidently, in his heart he still didn't want to lose.Nonsense, how many men will lose to those women, young master, I absolutely don't believe it.

After everyone has agreed, everyone will be in their positions and ready to officially start the game.

The father who harvests the stones here is the leader. I saw him waving the sickle with his right hand and holding the corn in his left hand. As much as possible was gathered in his big hand. With the white light of the sickle flashing, the corn was cut off, and only a few piles remained. in the soil.

Not to be outdone, Mingguang and Zisong desperately mowed. Although they were not as good as Shitou's father, a piece of corn was cut down in front of them soon.

Even the little stone was covered in a mess, although the little stone is small, it can work very quickly. Each time the cut is relatively small, but the number of cuts is better.

The corn stalks they cut were all carried to the designated space in the middle of the two teams, and put away one by one.Zhuxiang was in charge of delivery, carrying bundles of corn to the threshing bucket and handing them to his mother and a few aunts.Because there were not enough handfuls of small stones, Zhuxiang combined two handfuls into one and handed them over.

So cutting here, fighting there, the coordination is perfect.

The reaped crops were soon handed over to the threshers, and then the four women surrounded the threshing bucket and started threshing. The rhythmic sound came out of the threshing bucket, which sounded like a beautiful melody.Especially Shitou's father and the women, all of them had the joy of a good harvest on their faces.

Yes, for them, listening to this sound is an excellent enjoyment.

Although Huang Yongmao was also harvesting, his harvesting speed was obviously slower than the others, gradually dragging everyone down.
