Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 82
Baishou and Laisheng were together, and they beat the wheat together. Wanwan saw that they were fighting hard, and while Baishou was drinking water, he took a handful of wheat and stood opposite Laisheng to fight. The eight strokes were not clean, and she had to arch her back. Just for a short while, she felt her back was sore, let alone the two of them had to hit so much wheat. Hit the next life, on the face.

In the end, the next life stared at her with a stern face, spat to the side, and there was still a piece of wheat in the saliva, and then pushed her aside: "You just put it here and rest, don't come over."

"What are you doing!" Wanwan looked at him, although she played slowly, she could still fight anyway.

Laisheng pointed to the wheat in the spittle on the ground: "If you keep threshing here, I will have to eat wheat all afternoon! Play aside and don't make trouble here." Then he gave her a straw like coaxing a child to let her Play next to it.

Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then stared, why did she make trouble here? Well, what she dumped was not right.But it's not like to throw it out of your mouth, because threshing wheat is not a meal, who told him to open his mouth, she gave herself such a reason in her heart.

Baishou also pulled her aside: "Daughter-in-law, you can rest by the side, I'll just fight with you in the next life."

Looking at his sweating profusely, Wanwan felt a little distressed, if next season their family planted all rely on hundreds of heads, how tired would he be?Why don't you have the strength of a man?In order not to add to the chaos, well, the next life is right, she was just adding to the chaos, so Wanwan had to obediently stand aside and watch Baishou and the next life fight.

The handkerchiefs that the two were wearing around their waists were all wet in no time.After thinking about it, Wanwan hurried home and brought a basin of water from the river with a copper basin. On the way, someone saw her going to the threshing ground and asked her, "Wife Baishou, what are you doing?" ?”

"It works." She continued to answer with a large basin of water.

When I came up from the river, there was a basin full of water, some was sprinkled on the road, and there was more than half of the basin at the threshing ground, so I put the basin aside.

Wanwan said to the busy Baishou: "Baishou, where is the veil you wipe your face with? I'll wash it for you."

Baishou glanced at the basin at her feet, grinned, dropped the straw in his hand, walked over and handed the veil to her, Wanwan washed the veil in the basin, soaked it in cold water, wiped the veil Not to mention how comfortable it is on the face.

"Isn't it more comfortable to wipe this way?" Wanwan looked at him and said with a smile.

"Well, it's quite cool, daughter-in-law, you still have more ideas." Baishou said with a smile.Seeing the fine sweat on Wanwan's forehead, he wanted to wipe it off for her, but immediately thought of the smell of sweat on his handkerchief, and said, "Daughter-in-law, you've worked hard too, so wipe off your sweat!"

Wanwan took out his small handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his forehead.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that the grandfather of the next life had arrived at some unknown time, and was standing opposite the next life, shaking the wheat.Because the old man was still sick, his complexion became even more ugly after a few shakes.

"Grandpa is here in the next life?" Why didn't she see it when she came up just now.

Baishou drank two big gulps of cold water, said: "Just after you left for a while, he came, and he refused to ask him to go back to rest, no matter how much he persuaded him, he was very stubborn."

Wanwan seldom listened to Baishou speak in such a helpless and angry tone. He must have persuaded him a lot, but he was so sick that he came to thresh the wheat with pain. It made people feel sympathetic and helpless at the same time. This was not an aggravation of the disease ?

In the next life, grandpa thinks differently. The last time they planted vegetables, Baishou and the two helped them. When they were planting corn, they had already helped harvest the wheat this time. If he didn’t come to help Do something, how can you feel bad?

Someone in the threshing floor also advised him to go back and rest.Grandpa Laisheng was as determined as the weight. Later, Yang Yizhi came up to see him and called Grandpa Laisheng aside. The two old men sat together. I don't know what Yang Yizhi said.After packing the wheat from the ground, he went back with the wheat on his back.

Wanwan admired him in his heart, this old leader is amazing!
Yang Yizhi came over and saw a lot of wheat that hadn't been beaten yet. Without saying a word, he took off his outer clothes, picked up a handful of wheat, and walked to the side of the next life: "Go and rest for a while." Then he stood in the position of the next life and started beating .

His speed of shaking the wheat was no slower than that of Baishou, and he was stunned watching Wanwan, even Baishou was also stunned.

"Ah, the village head, the miscellaneous energy needs your help, you rest, here is me and the next life."

Yang Yizhi's wheat just finished grinding today, and they planted another variety that ripened earlier.

While threshing wheat, Yang Yizhi said, "If I don't come to help you, you don't even have a break."

"Why don't you take a rest, just play slower." Baishou said.

"Slow down? Look how tired that baby is."

Following Yang Yizhi's gaze just now, Baishou quickly glanced at him in the spare time.

Not far outside the enclosure, Lai Sheng was lying straight on the ground.And Wanwan was sitting not far from him.

This method is faster than stone grinding, but it is more tiring. If you spend a day arching your back here, you will definitely not be able to straighten your waist when you go home.

"Don't you need a stone grinder? It's so tiring." Yang Yizhi threw away the straw, wiped off his sweat with his clothes, picked up another handful and continued beating.Mouth also does not stop.

"It's faster to thresh wheat like this, and we have to cut the straw for the second time. We need to keep the straw for building a house." Baishou said.

It saves a lot of trouble, which is not bad.

"But it's too tiring to fight."

"Our family won't fight like this next season." Last night he thought about it carefully, and when the house was repaired and moved to the village, they would also buy a cow.It will be convenient to go to the market in the future, and you don't have to walk so far in Wanwan, and you can relax yourself during the busy farming season.

"That's fine."

"Village chief, why don't you take a break!" Baishou was still afraid of tiring the old man.

"Do you think my body is not good enough to beat? Let me tell you, I was the one who pulled this grinder all by myself back then. Such a big rock weighed at least a hundred catties, and the wheat had to be turned well..." Yang Yizhi beat While Mai was talking with a thunderclap, he was a little out of breath at the end.

He threw the straw on the ground, stared at Baishou who was wiping his face, and said, "Don't think you... these young people are so good, sometimes they are not as good as we were back then."

At this time, a bowl of water was handed over from the side: "Village Chief, take a break!" Yang Yizhi said, looking at the sweating profusely.

Yang Yizhi glanced at her with satisfaction. He really wanted to drink water. He raised his head and drank up a large bowl of water. He returned the bowl to Wan Wan and said, "I'm not tired. You are a woman and you have no strength. Wait by the side." go."

Wanwan took the bowl, saw Yang Yizhi picked up another handful of wheat, and said: "Village Chief, you should not open your mouth when threshing wheat, the wheat is easy to throw in your mouth. Talking saves energy."

Yang Yizhi stared, and glanced at Baishou: "Who dares to throw the wheat in my mouth?"

"Village chief, I won't throw the wheat in your mouth." Baishou immediately answered in a serious manner.

Wanwan looked at Yang Yizhi, well, in fact, the latter sentence was the key point she wanted to say.He took the bowl and walked back.

On the ground, the next life was lying in all directions, with both hands thrown by the side as if paralyzed, eyes closed, not sure if he fell asleep.

Wan Wan kicked his foot, and Xi Sheng opened his eyes.

"Don't lie down, you won't want to get up after a while, just sit down."

"I want to sleep for a while, okay?" Lai Sheng said.

"No."

"Why?"

"The wheat hasn't finished yet."

"But I'm tired."

"Then do you eat?"

"Why don't you eat, I want to live."

"Then you must go threshing."

After a while, there was a rumble of snoring in the threshing floor.

Wanwan glanced at the noisy threshing floor, rolled his eyes helplessly, and kicked the person who was sleeping like a dead pig awake.

Open your sleepy eyes in the next life.

"It's dawn, get up."

In the next life, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, and saw his surroundings before he realized where he was sleeping.Seeing a large pile of unthreshed wheat in front of him, he muttered depressingly, "Have you not finished threshing the miscellaneous wheat?"

Wan Wan rolled his eyes.

At this time Yang Yizhi came over, looked at him loyally, and said, "Wake up in the next life and go threshing wheat."

Laisheng stood up slowly, shook his arms, and frowned.Then followed Yang Yizhi into the enclosure.Yang Yizhi asked Baishou to rest for a while, and to fight him in the next life, and he will be replaced in a while.

Baishou knew that Yang Yizhi was right, so he dropped the straw and sat down next to Wanwan.In this way, the three of them took turns threshing the wheat, but only halfway through the threshing. On the second day, Yang Yizhi still came, followed by Yang Kaishi.With four people and two threshing stones, the speed was much faster, and all the wheat was threshed in one morning.

The grandfather in the next life is very grateful to the few people, and wants to keep a few people for dinner. We all know that he is sick now, and if he stays for dinner again, he will cause trouble instead of help.Several people went back to their own homes, and the wheat was finally harvested, and they were able to catch their breath for a while.Because there are not many wheat fields, it only takes a few days to harvest the wheat.After the wheat was harvested, everyone went to the fields and cut back the straws.

Wanwan, Baishou and Grandpa Laisheng bought the straw, Grandpa Laisheng didn't want money, Baishou knew their family was in trouble, so he left the money and left.

However, the next day, the grandfather sent the money back again, and he said: "You have helped so much, and you didn't even eat a bite of food. If you want some straw, I can still ask you for money? There are plenty of firewood at home."

Baishou had no choice but to take back the money.Thinking about going to help more in the future.

Bring back the straw, Baishou moved a bench in the yard, put the head of the straw on the bench, bent it down with a wooden stick, combed it down with a rake, and attached it to the straw Just comb out the wheat clothes.In this way, the roof will appear smooth and flat when covered on the roof, instead of looking messy.

Comb out all the straws and pile them under the eaves. If the house needs to be rebuilt and a few more houses are added, I am afraid that this straw will not be enough.After thinking about it, the two decided to go to the village to buy some straw.

As a result, the next day, Shitou Niang came and said that they had a lot of straw in their house, and asked Baishou to take it back and use it for the whole house.The couple thanked each other again and again.I went to Shitou's house to divide the straw several times before I got it home. In the end, Baishou decided to give some money, how could Shitou's mother ask for it.
