The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 39

The next day still didn't clear up, but the rain was lighter, and it was no longer pouring rain.

The old man in charge of the Liu family was a little hesitant, maybe it would clear up in two days, and he would cut the wheat when it was fully ripe, so he could get more rations.

He asked Willow: "How about we wait?"

Willow is also a little hesitant, who doesn't want more food, but the key is that they are afraid of being empty!
"Father, let's go to the field!" Willow gritted his teeth: "If it continues to rain, our family will starve to death! Besides, we have made an agreement with the boss anyway."

After it was decided, the whole Liu family, young and old, went out to harvest wheat together.

The laborers of the second room of the Fu family also dispatched together, wearing coir raincoats and holding sickles, heading towards the fields in a mighty manner.Along the way, many villagers advised them to wait a little longer, but finally they insisted that the villagers refused to persuade them. A few acquaintances thought they had nothing to do, so they even helped them cut the wheat.

The He family was still waiting for the weather to clear up. After hearing that the Fu family had gone to the ground, Da Zhou couldn't sit still, and asked He Zhigao: "Old man, why don't our family cut it quickly?"

He Zhigao smoked a dry cigarette and didn't speak for a long time. Da Zhou knew that he disagreed, sighed and turned to the kitchen to work on lunch.

The Fu family owns [-] acres of land, plus the [-] acres that Fu Shi entrusted them to take care of, the [-] acres are all planted with winter wheat.Fu Quan and others worked seven or eight hours a day from morning to night, and it took two full days to finish cutting them all.

The harvested wheat was piled up in several rooms, Fu Quan went around and said to himself: "Just wait for the weather to clear and let it dry!"

It's still raining, and I don't know when it will clear up.

Fu Shi drove an ox cart to Tianshui Village.The Liu family had already cut off the wheat stalks overnight, leaving only the ears of wheat.Father Liu and Liu Shu followed the first cart of wheat to the Great Wasteland. After unloading, they began to spread the ears of wheat on the kang in the side room.

The wing room wasn't very spacious in the first place, but now it's full of ears of wheat, it looks overcrowded all of a sudden.The wheat has been piled up for two days, and some of them are already moldy, and the whole room has an unpleasant smell.When the wet wheat is heated, it emits water vapor, and the room is like a big steamer.

He Tao originally wanted to help, but before entering the house, he started to feel nauseous and almost vomited.

Fu Shi stopped her and said, "It's been a long time since you stopped vomiting, so don't meddle in these things, go back to your room and rest!"

So, He Tao went back to eat and drink with peace of mind.

Fu Shi and Liu's father and son sat on the kang, rubbed the dried wheat ears into grains, and moved them to the kang in the greenhouse to continue drying when they made up a bucket.

At this time, a villager went to the field to check and found that some ears of wheat had grown moldy. Most of the people couldn't wait any longer, so they went to the field to cut the wheat. The He family finally couldn't wait any longer, and the whole family went to the field. .

Fu Quan watched the continuous rain and the wheat in the house became moldy, and he didn't dare to wait for the weather to clear up, for fear that all the wheat would germinate if he waited any longer.

He hastily came to the Great Wasteland, specifically to see how to use kang to dry wheat.At this time, Fu Shi and others had already dried four or five bags. Fu Quan reached into the bag to feel the dryness of the wheat grains.

"Okay!" Fu Quan nodded again and again: "It's really done!"

Father Liu said next to him: "Although it can't keep up with the sun, it's almost done. At least it can catch the sun, and it won't be a big loss if the sun comes out again!"

"Brother Shi, daughter-in-law, it's fortunate that you thought of building a kang at that time, otherwise our family would suffer a lot this year!" Fu Quan turned his head and praised He Tao who was standing aside with his stomach in his hands.

When Fu Shi said he wanted to build a kang, he didn't say anything, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.Thinking about He Tao's 15 years in the He family and the Zhang family, which year did he come here in the same way, why is it so cold to marry Fu Shi?Isn't it because of watching Fu Shi accommodate her in everything that she dares to ask for anything!I didn't expect this thing to have such a use!
"That's to say, if it weren't for this, all the wheat would have sprouted in this damn weather!" Father Liu also praised.When Liu Shu mentioned this matter to him, he just had the idea of ​​using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

He Tao waved his hand in embarrassment and said, "It was a mistake, I didn't think of this at the time."

At the beginning, I was afraid of the cold, who would have thought that it could be used for anything other than heating!Is this also the welfare of time-traveling women?Doing one thing unintentionally can have far-reaching consequences.He Tao began to diverge his thinking.

The next day, all the wheat from the second room of the Fu family was transported to the Great Wasteland.There are many people in the second room, and they are divided into two shifts, rubbing and roasting wheat day and night.

"All the wheat is going to go moldy!"

In Rongshu Village, except for the bare-bottomed children, everyone's faces were covered with clouds, and they sighed and waited for the sun to dry the wheat.

Da Zhou looked at the wheat piled up at home, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and went out to pray to the shrine: "God open your eyes, let the sun come out quickly! God, give me something to eat!"

The He family's ten mu of land is all planted with winter wheat.There are so many people in the He family, no matter how careful the big Zhou family is, they will eat up all the food every season. The granary is already empty now, but they can only harvest the wheat to eat.

If it rains for a few more days, their family will not even be able to live without food!
After the kang was burned in the Great Wasteland, He Tao's scope of activities was reduced to three points and one line: the bedroom, the main room, and the hut.When the villagers were busy or anxious, she was lying on the couch and counting cherries to eat. "

"Daughter-in-law, do you want our father to bring the wheat over to bake?" Fu Shi asked as he entered the door.

"What are you talking about? He Tao sat up slowly after hearing this, and said: "I didn't hear clearly! "

"I said, do you want our father to bring the wheat here too!" Fu Shi wiped the sweat off his face with his hand and said, "The rain won't stop for a day or two, and if we don't dry it, the wheat will become moldy. "

He was helping to rub the wheat grains just now, and his hands were covered with unexplained stains, and he turned into a disfigured face after wiping. He Tao held back a smile and wiped it off with a handkerchief for him.

"We only have two kangs, and there is no place to dry the He family's wheat!"

She heard him clearly the first time he said it, but Fu Shi, the [-], thought she didn't hear it clearly, so he said it again in a daze.

"Moving around can still free up some land. You can't just watch their family's wheat be destroyed!" Seeing that she was not happy, Fu Shi explained, "You also said that your natal family eats wheat all year round." Those who are not full, if there is no more crops of wheat, father, the others, younger brother, and younger sister will all have to go hungry!"

"Uh..." The last sentence just said that in He Tao's heart, she really didn't care about the life and death of the He family, but these three people couldn't ignore it!She patted Fu Shi angrily: "You are the only one who is smart!"

Fu Shi smiled and said, "Then I'll go?"

Can you disagree?He Tao rubbed his stomach and nodded.

When Fu Shi arrived at He's house, Mrs. Da Zhou was still kneeling in front of the shrine and begging God to bless him. After hearing what he said, he quickly lit another stick of incense: "Bodhisattva bless you, God bless you."

Fu Shi originally felt that the relationship between He Tao and the He family was too stiff, and wanted to take advantage of this incident to ease it up. Who knew that the Da Zhou family didn't even praise He Tao, and directly attributed the credit to the Bodhisattva and ancestors. Don't talk about it, just like this is what the couple should have to do.He suddenly understood why He Tao didn't want to see Da Zhou's so much!

Fu Shi and He Tao didn't talk about the Dahuangdi land acquisition, but only told Fu Quan. Zhou and others are here.

He Tao greeted everyone in Erfang and Liu's family in advance, and told them to speak in unison, telling He's family that he was Fu Shi's friend, not to mention the land lease.She was afraid that if the Da Zhou family opened their mouths and asked them to plant the land to the He family, although they could use excuses such as "I wrote the contract for N years, and I will lose money if I change my mind halfway", but the money is not revealed, especially But when there are people like the Da Zhou family and He Youdong, you must not reveal the truth, otherwise you may make something wrong.

When Da Zhou heard that he was going to share the kang with Fu Shi's friend's house, his face suddenly collapsed, and he cast a gloomy look at He Tao.

That day, after baking the wheat for a day, Mrs. Zhou returned home. The first thing she did was to call He Fuguo to her front, and said, "Speak to your eldest daughter, and ask the family named Liu to wait for our family to wait." After the wheat is roasted, give it to them!"

"Mother, this is not good..." He Fuguo said.

"What's wrong?!" Da Zhou raised his eyebrows: "I'm not talking about the comparison with the second wife of the Fu family. He is the uncle of the grandson-in-law's first-line relative, but the Liu family is just taking advantage of it! Is this upright Yue family more important?"

How could He Fuguo win the Great Zhou Clan, so he had no choice but to come to the Great Wasteland in the dark.

The three families kept someone to continue baking wheat at night, and the He family kept Xiao Chen and He Lian. Although He Fuguo's mother's fate was difficult, he also knew that he would not be able to ask for anything, so he simply said yes to He Tao. I haven't seen my wife and daughter for a day. I came to have a look, and left after sitting down for a cup of tea.

After returning home, he told Da Zhou: "The son-in-law did not agree, saying that he had already made an agreement with others, and it is not good to change his mind midway."

"Is it true that grandson-in-law disagrees?" Mrs. Da Zhou snorted and asked, "Isn't Tao girl doing something wrong?"

He Fuguo quickly shook his head: "How can it be, the son-in-law has the final say in their family!"

Although Da Zhou was not reconciled, he had no choice but to give up. He went back to the house and murmured to He Zhigao, "A son-in-law is half a son, and that kid Fu Shi can't even be a quarter of a son!"

It was rare for He Zhigao to be sober, and he replied: "Things between men can change as much as they can, and they will be stabbed in the spine!"

Only then did the Da Zhou Clan completely die down.
