Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 65

On the second day, it was still the same, the difference was that the men did not go home to sleep, and the women and children were called up by Mrs. Zhang earlier than on the first day.Xiuyao just felt like she was falling apart, and she couldn't open her eyes, and she couldn't wake up at all. She sat up and fell down again in a daze. When she was dazed, she heard Zhang yelling outside the window: "It's a dead body, it's not too fast!" point!"

Xiuyao shuddered and got up quickly, without any sleepiness.

Another day, day after day, Xiuyao felt that it was going so slowly that she couldn't hold on anymore, when will such a day be the boss?
At noon that day, she continued to glean ears of wheat, but she felt dizzy and dizzy, and she knew she was suffering from heat stroke.

Seeing her staggering, Xiu Rong hurriedly said: "Little sister, go drink some water and rest in the shade under the tree."

But Xiuyao refused, if she took a break, Second Aunt would definitely curse and hate her again, she was too lazy to grind her teeth, she said: "I'm fine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiurong saw her staggering twice, and fell headfirst into the straw pile, Xiurong hurried over, "Grandpa, grandpa, my little sister has passed out."

Old Qintou and Qin Dafu hurried to have a look, and old Qintou said: "Girl is suffering from heat stroke, quickly take her to the shade of a tree and feed her some water." Qin Dafu picked up his daughter and went to the bottom of the locust tree in the field, letting Xiu Rong hurriedly brought water to Xiuyao, poured some water on her face, pinched her, and watched Xiuyao wake up slowly.

Xiuxian hugged an armful of wheat straw and put it on the ground, letting Xiuyao lie down to cool off, while they continued to work.

At this time, Qin Xian and Qin Chan went to borrow the donkey cart from the third grandfather's house, and took advantage of their family's rest time to borrow the donkey cart to pull wheat in the field.The first few Lao Qin went to load the carts, decorating them as much as possible, after all, donkey carts are not available all day long.

Seeing that the men were not here anymore, the second aunt and the third aunt taunted: "The person in the big room is really a lazy donkey who grinds a lot of excrement and urinates, and passes out after picking up wheat. She thinks she is Miss Jiaojiao. She doesn't have that life. Still suffering from that disease, squeamish!"

The third aunt was about to say that the second fool was there, but Xiuxian heard it and replied angrily: "Second lady, why are you whispering behind your back? Why is my little girl lazy? Starting from cutting the wheat, she picked There is more wheat than Xiuting, even more than Xiumei, you say she is lazy, but you don't see who is lazy, I almost have as much wheat as you and San Niangniang, why don't you tell me?"

The third aunt saw that Xiu Xian had blamed her again, and hurriedly said: "Er Man, I didn't offend you, don't overturn the whole boat with one pole."

Xiuxian sneered and said, "Who knows who capsizes the boat." Xiuting pretended to be sick last night and stayed at home today, of course she was afraid to say it.

The second aunt gave Xiuxian a hard look. After the big fight that day, she ignored Xiuxian, especially when her greetings to Mrs. Liu were ignored, so she ignored Mrs. Liu and the people in the big room, which was like They are strangers, but they still have to chew their tongues behind their backs.Liu Shi and others ignored her, but Xiuxian couldn't help it.

While tying the wheat, she said in a strange way: "I said that some people are true, have they talked to you? It's interesting that you come together."

Xiu Xian refused to show weakness, "Then why do some people mutter behind their backs? Don't talk about my sister, I don't bother to talk to you."

The third aunt hurriedly said to the second aunt: "Sister-in-law, don't be as knowledgeable as a child, let's hurry up and work." I have already said not to provoke the second fool, but she doesn't think about the consequences and face at all, just say what she thinks , I don't care about shamelessness.

Xiuxian ignored them and went to work.

When the cart was full of wheat, Old Qin asked Qin Xian and Qin Chan's two grandsons to go back with the cart to look at the field. He drove the donkey cart, and said to Xiurong: "You and your second sister go home to pick up the rice. Let's send that girl Yaoyao back to rest for a while."

Xiurong agreed and went to find Xiuxian, and the two sisters went to Xiuyao's house.

As soon as Xiuyao and the others arrived home, they happened to meet Mrs. Liu coming back from Zhou's house, and hurriedly went up to say hello.Mrs. Liu hummed, and glanced at Xiuyao, "Sick? Her little face is sallow."

Xiurong said: "I got heatstroke, I woke up after a moment of coma."

Mrs. Liu patted Xiuyao's head, and handed the small bundle in her hand to Xiurong, "Let's go home and eat."

When Xiu Rong saw it, there were actually two chicken legs and a few pieces of roast meat inside, her mouth watered immediately, and she said with a smile: "Mom, there are delicious ones!"

Mrs. Liu smiled and asked them to eat at home, but Xiurong hesitated, "Mother, there is not enough food to go home." The elder sister wanted to give it, but that Xiuting was there, maybe the nanny would not give it to her. It's over.

Liu said: "It's okay, just feed your sisters."

Xiurong was still a little hesitant, "My mother?"

Mrs. Liu took it from her hand, "Let's go, mother will come with you."

When she got home, Mrs. Zhang was surprised why the eldest daughter-in-law came back, and she was taken aback, "Da Yeniang, you, why are you back?" Nothing happened at home, what are you doing back?But don't let people drive you back.

Liu Shi said: "No, I didn't eat lunch, I brought it back to eat with the maids, Yaoyao passed out due to heatstroke in the field today."

As soon as Xiuting heard that there was food to eat, she immediately ran over, her eyes shining brightly on the bundle in Liu's hand.

Mrs. Zhang also took a look, and said, "Is there any meat? Then save it for the man who cuts the wheat. The girl eats it and wastes it."

But Mrs. Liu said: "Mother, this is my lunch. I haven't eaten it yet." Then she carried her into the room and let Xiuyao in.

Mrs. Zhang was very angry. She just wanted to explode, but she couldn't do it. She was frightened by Mrs. Liu once because of beating Xiuyao. It can be regarded as having received help from the Liu family - Yan Ming did not want to grab the power of the family, so now he wants to have an attack, but suddenly he is a little frustrated.

Xiu Ting pulled her clothes, "Nurse, I want to eat too."

Mrs. Zhang waved her hands, "I'm busy. If you're okay, go to the field to pick up wheat after lunch. You can see that Xiuyao is tired and sick." Then she went to wash pickles, and now the sky It's hot, and the family is tired from work, so there must be oil and salt. Add some pickles and mix them with cooked oil to get the best of both worlds.

Mrs. Liu told Xiurong not to close the door, so she ate the lunch she brought back from Zhou's house on the Dongjian Kang. Xiuting stood at the door, gnawed her finger with greed, and stared at Xiuyao with hatred. She was older than her, she didn't dare to compare, she could only compare with Xiuyao who was her same age.

Mrs. Liu took out the chicken legs and roasted pork and divided them into four portions, and asked Xiuqin to share with the four girls. Xiuqin took a bite and said with a smile: "I'm at home, and I'm not tired from work, so give it to my sister."

Liu said: "Eat it for you. Who says you won't be tired at home. This is a lot of work. Although my mother doesn't go to the field, she still gives it to the family when she makes money. With this meal, she can still eat by herself." It’s up to you, if I let you eat it, you just eat it, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Xiuyao asked: "Mom, what do you eat?"

Liu Shi smiled and winked at them, the girls stopped asking, and ate their share of meat in a whirlwind manner, and then smashed it with their mouths.

Xiu Ting was greedy and angry. The aunt used to take the initiative to give her something to eat, and she was better than Xiu Yao every time, but since the time when she shared the purse, she stopped giving it. It was so annoying. She turned around and ran away after thinking about it. go out.

And Mrs. Liu saw that the daughters had finished eating, so she went to help Zhou's family again. Xiuyao had a hastily eaten lunch, and then sent food to the family members who worked in the field.

With the help of the donkey cart from the third grandfather's family, they pulled the wheat twice, and the first few old Qin didn't have to push it into the field, which saved a lot of energy and time.After lunch, Qin Xian and Qin Chan were chopping wheat in the field, while the others continued to work on harvesting.

Because Xiuyao was allowed to rest at home after lunch, she couldn't stay idle, so she slipped out and cut some wicker and weeds, and weaved several straw hats with wild flowers, and gave them to the second sister, third sister and Xiuli respectively.

In addition, she also made straw hats without flowers for her elder brother, second brother, and Qin Chan. There were only four straw hats and bamboo hats in the family, and they were on the heads of grandpa, father and two uncles, so the brothers naturally didn't have to wear them.

With a straw hat, at least it can cover you from the scorching sun, and you won't get heatstroke from being exposed to the sun.

Everyone likes it very much, but the second aunt murmurs behind those who don't have one, Xiuyao knows it and ignores it, hmph, it's all labeled like that, and she even weaves straw hats for them, how cheap she is!I won’t make it up for you, you dry monkeys!

At night, the men cut the wheat in the field as usual, and the women tied the wheat and went home at the time of lighting the lamps.

Naturally, Xiuting and Xiumei Xiujuan all three complained to the second aunt and the third aunt, saying that the meat brought back by the aunt would not be eaten by her, but Xiuyao would eat some.The second aunt wanted to make a fuss, but was stopped by the third aunt, "Second sister-in-law, don't be as knowledgeable as the elder sister, I have already said that the elder sister-in-law is not a kind person, so don't mess with her, she is a sweet potato now, we I don't even dare to provoke her, so don't get into trouble, let's settle with her slowly."

Old Qin's family rented and planted about [-] acres of wheat fields, and the whole family was busy harvesting wheat, and it would take more than ten days just to return the field.Old Qintou was always afraid of rain, so he was busy running around like ants on a hot pot. Except for a short sleep at night and three meals in a hurry, he hardly rested.He didn't rest, and the men naturally followed suit, and they were all exhausted.

Xiuyao was even thinner after a few days, and Xiuxian's skin was a little darker, but now she is even darker and thinner, her beauty is fairer, and she is not afraid of the heat, she is covering her hand towel, her face is not very tanned He was black, but he also got prickly heat, which was itchy all day long.

Xiuyao has a physique that turns red when exposed to the sun but doesn't turn black very much. Although she wears a straw hat she made to cover the top of her head, it can't cover her face. As a result, her skin turns red first, and then the skin is broken, which is also uncomfortable. very.

But no matter how painful it was, they didn't dare to scream, lest they be reprimanded as crafty and lazy children.

After seven or eight days of busy work day and night, the wheat harvest is finally almost ready. Except for a few mu that ripen late, the others have already been received in the field. By this time, everyone has long been overwhelmed.All the wheat harvesters had blood blisters on their hands, and their feet, legs, hands, arms, and even their faces were all covered with small puncture scars. In addition, they did not have a good rest, and they were ashamed and emaciated. haggard.

In the evening, Old Qintou wiped the sweat from his face with a towel that was so dark that he couldn't see his true colors, and said: "The three acres in the south are still not very ripe. Why don't we wait for two more days, and let's chop the wheat first." Guillotine, by the way, play the field, and then cut it when it's almost done."

Qin Dafu agreed with the others.Although he couldn't rest even if he didn't cut, at least he could eat a full meal during the day and sleep a full night at night.

After cutting the piece at hand, I borrowed a cart to pull a large cart, and the remaining picks and carts were taken back to the field in one go.Xiuyao and the others hurriedly picked up the remaining ears of wheat on the ground, so they could go home and rest for two days.
