The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 120 Recommend Wife (3)
Qingyang nodded feebly.

"Do you still want to practice? This is just the beginning, and the hard work is yet to come."

"Practice, I want to be as good as Dad."

"Well done, little man, come on."

"Hmm." Xiaozheng, who was controlled by a certain sister, nodded heavily.

After washing up and having breakfast, the tired siblings finally came back to life.Qing Shu waved his arms, "Let's go, collect the beans with my sister."

Qingyang followed her example and waved his arms, "Collect the beans."

Mother Su hurried up and put down the arms of the siblings, "Miss, Master, you must not do this kind of disrespect in front of others."

The two sisters and brothers looked at each other, and sloppyly showed the bearing that a young lady and a young master should have, and led the maid out.

At the gate of the house, Gu Qiang went up to them, saying that someone from the yamen had informed that the trial of Da Gujia Village Lizheng case would be held today, with Bai County assisting in the trial and Xiaozhi County listening in.

Qing Shu asked, "Do you need me and the young master to come forward?"

"Miss and young master don't need to show up, all the old slaves have already made arrangements."

"Well, then you reserve enough manpower, and the young master and I will take four people out. If there is any mistake, send someone to the village to inform me."

"Yes."

An hour later, Li Dalang parked the carriage at the head of the sorghum field, and Yuan Bao reported, "Miss, young master, we're here."

Qingshu and Qingyang were escorted by Xiaojuan and got out of the carriage.In the field at this time, the strong men were busy pinching the heads of sorghum. Because they were worried about knocking off the rice grains, they moved quickly and lightly, and put the next one into their respective baskets.When the basket is full, no one needs to carry it back to the village, because they have an ox cart.At that time, the full panniers were loaded onto the bullock cart, and everyone took the empty panniers and continued to pick sorghum.

At this time, the bullock cart pulled the loaded sorghum heads back to the field in front of Zhuangzi, where people were left to take care of threshing on the spot.The threshed sorghum is carried directly into the Zhuangzi to dry on the field where the grain is dried.

Originally, they didn't have to rush to harvest food like this, but Qingshu still had arrangements behind him, so he didn't have enough people, so he asked Wu Tongtou to find four day-workers from a nearby village to take care of lunch, fifteen yuan a day salary.Because Gu Yuanhe trusted the Gu Dashu in Xiaogujia Village, Wu Tongtou went directly to Gu Dashu and asked the Gu Dashu to be given to the four people in Zhang Luo.

Qingshu and Qingyang stood on the ground and looked at it for a while, when Cai Tieniu, who had loaded a cart full of empty panniers, came over with an ox cart.Seeing his master, Cai Tieniu parked the ox cart and wanted to salute, but Qing Shu didn't let him, telling him to concentrate on his work and leave them alone.

Cai Tieniu saluted very persistently, then unloaded all the empty backpacks with one hand, took three empty backpacks into the field, and after a while, came out with a backpack full of sorghum heads on one hand, and loaded them into the ox cart superior.

Qing Shu couldn't help sighing, none of the people in their mansion lived for free, and everyone was capable.

After Cai Tieniu loaded the cart, Qing Shu and the others followed the bullock cart to Zhuangzi.

Wu Tongtou and Wei Tiechui came out to meet them, and after seeing the two masters, they unloaded the truck with Cai Tieniu, and the three of them sat on the ground again, taking off the rice grains together.

Each person had a thick iron plate, and they fixed it with their feet. They grabbed the sorghum head and rubbed it against the iron plate, so that the rice grains fell off.There is another person next to him, who from time to time receives the threshed sorghum heads to one side, and pushes the rice grains to the other side, vigorously rubs the rice grains with shells, removes most of the hard shells, and puts them into two solid woven baskets , Carried into the yard with a pole for drying.

Qing Shu looked worried, this is really manual, laborious and time consuming.But there is no way, the era is such an era.You say that modernity is good, but modern pollution and advanced technology make it impossible for people to eat anything without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.Even if you eat meat, you don’t even know what kind of meat you are eating.As a result, no one is not sick.

Although this era is backward, it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about poisonous food in your stomach.This can be considered a kind of happiness!It's comforting.

After a while, Cai Tieniu stood up, slapped his clothes a few times, loaded the empty pannier, and led the ox cart away. He was going to pull a cart.

Qingshu and Qingyang entered Zhuangzi.Everyone was busy, an old man, two women and three children, none of them was idle, some carried water, some picked and washed vegetables, some washed rice, some carried firewood, and some picked beans.They are preparing the ingredients for lunch in advance.

The people in the sun are very comfortable at this moment, Qing Shu pulls Qing Yang to sit in the courtyard, helps pick vegetables, and asks them how the lunch is arranged.A stewed dish, a stir-fried dish, a mixed dish, a pickled vegetable, and coarse grain rice. Of course, no meat.Also, there are no soy dishes.There are part-time workers at noon, so naturally the soybeans can't be taken out, because Qing Shu is still pointing to it to make some small money, so naturally it can't be exposed to others too early.

Qing Shu nodded when she heard the lunch arrangement. For the autumn harvest, she was busy from morning to night, and she was doing physical work, so it was necessary to eat dry rice. "Is there any butcher in front of Zhuangzi?"

A woman replied no, the town only sells them.

Qingshu looked at the time, didn't say anything, called Qingyang, washed her hands, and called Xiaojuan who was helping to chop firewood to leave.Qing Shu finds it a little incomprehensible that other girls pay attention to dressing and save face.Where is her girl?One is some kind of physical work, such as carrying food, or chopping firewood, so come on, throw off your arms and do it yourself.Does she want to give Xiaojuan a labor medal or something?It is a model of hard work and hard work!

Look at Xiaoyu again, following her delicately, and picking vegetables with her gracefully, at the same time not forgetting to take care of their siblings.People don't dirty their clothes, but they also do their work, and they also have work in their eyes.

Qingshu asked Wu Tongtou to prepare a scale and five or six cloth bags, and left Zhuangzi in a carriage, and walked slowly into Xiaogujia Village.After entering the village, Gu Yuanbao politely asked a woman for the location of Lizheng's house. The woman was very enthusiastic and took them to Lizheng's house in person.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Gu Chen, met Qingshu's brother and sister at the entrance of the village. At that time, Qingshu was covered with a veil, but Qingyang was not.Therefore, when Qingshu's sister and brother came to the door, she recognized Qingyang at a glance, and knew Qingshu's identity. She panicked, and while welcoming them in, she yelled at her five or six-year-old son who was playing in the courtyard. Go to the field and call the ancient tree.

Welcoming the person into the house, Mrs. Gu Chen turned around on the ground a few times before patting his forehead. He rummaged through the cabinets and took out a piece of coarse cloth, spread it on the edge of the Kang, and called Qingshu and his brother to sit down quickly.

Qing Shu felt embarrassed, but Mrs. Chen was very persistent. She stared at them sitting on the coarse cloth before giving up. She also took out two teacups that had been put away and washed them again and again. Then she poured two cups of water and put them in the Kang table.
