Chapter 63: autumn harvest
As the days passed, the weather gradually began to cool down again, and the crop people with their heads on the loess and back to the sky finally ushered in the long-awaited autumn harvest. They worked hard for a whole year, but it was this time that they waited.
Although Qi Yue's family didn't have a lot of land, it still had five acres, and it would take a long time for him to collect it alone, so He Ling ignored his objections and went down together. : After being rubbed with a sickle again, Qi Yue feels distressed, but he can't overcome the sudden temper of the other party, so he can only urge him to rest more when he is working.
"The Xianggong has never done these unskilled. I have been farming since I was a child. I put it away quickly, and I'm not tired at all!" When he asked He Ling to sit and drink some water again, he didn't agree. Sit there and watch the Xiang Gong work here alone.
Qi Yue helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "My body is better than you, it's okay to do this."
"My body is fine, Xiang Gong, you help me recuperate every day, and I am fine now!" He Ling took his hand and held it in his hand and shook it gently.
"Then if you feel tired, don't try to rest, don't you know?" Qi Yuehui squeezed his hand, and reassured him again.
"Yeah!" He Ling nodded, and simply agreed. In fact, he feels that he has no strength for these two days, but it is not a big problem. If he said that he would be worried, he would not let him go to the ground anymore.
"Brother Ling!"
The two of them were talking, they saw Xu Hua standing on the ground waving at them, holding a sickle, and seeing them turning to look at him, they got off the ground and walked in front of them.
"Why are you here, confiscating the land?" He Ling was a little surprised. At this time, he couldn't hate to use two hands to work. Why did he still have leisure to look for them?
"Hey, just the one mu of dry land in our family will be over within two days. Besides, my dad also helped this year. Anyway, I am idle, so I will help you!" Xu Hua thought about their five acres. Because the two of them are slow to do it, Xu's father doesn't need him to take care of him now, so he will come over and take a look.
Hearing that their land had already been collected, He Ling was not polite to him. Their friendship is getting deeper and stronger now, and they don't care about those imaginary ones.
There were more people, and it was still an old farm style. It was different when starting work. He quickly received a large piece. He Ling let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that the two did not pay attention to this side, he secretly rubbed his sore waist. , I don’t know if it’s been a long time since I haven’t worked. I didn’t work for a long time, so my back hurts.
Their land harvesting here is still easy and happy, but the He family’s side is miserable. In the past years, their family was a labor force, so the land was collected quickly, but now they are the old couple who want to harvest the land. This ten acres of land is not easy to talk about.
But if you want to talk about taking this land out and let others collect it, you really can't bear it. The food paid will be enough for them to eat for a long time!
"When will I receive it?" Qian straightened up and looked at a piece of golden wheat. She felt that her arm hurts. In previous years, this situation made her happy from ear to ear.
"If you have the time to talk nonsense, you will be able to collect two more crops of wheat!" He Tian choked on her angrily, without even raising her head.
No matter how hard you work, you still have to harvest the wheat, and you can't leave the good grain in the ground. It's all things that can be exchanged for silver.
"So much food, it’s difficult to transport it back!" Qian’s voice began to become dissatisfied when he thought of something here. Know it for us!"
While talking, she cut the stubble of wheat, just like cutting He Ling's meat, anyhow raising him so big, I really don't know how to be grateful!
He Tian pursed his mouth without saying a word, and was a little angry in his heart, but he was not only angry with He Ling, but also He Zhen. Since returning from that time, he has never shown up again, causing his own family to be harmed. In this way, he could still enjoy the landlord's house with peace of mind, and he didn't care about them in the least!
Even if it is wrong to marry him to an old man, he shouldn't hate his biological parents so much, he has got a rich life because of this.
It is also a fact.
"Hey, I don't know if Agui brought the two children at home alone?" Qian cut the wheat under his hands, and his thoughts began to run home again.
He Gui scrapped a leg. Naturally, he couldn't do the work in the ground. He could only stay at home to look after the two little babies, but he was inconvenient to move, which inevitably made people worry.
"Okay, do your job, don't worry about everything here!" He Tian was a little impatient, he was too tired at first, and she had to listen to her non-stop chattering in her ears!
Qian's lip curled, and then tentatively said: "The owner, or let's give up some money to buy a cow and get a bullock cart. Anyway, we still have some money now."
The twenty-two hires offered by the Ma family haven't moved yet, so it's not impossible to buy a cow out of twelve, and they can also provide a lot of labor for the family.
He Tian was a little moved. With a cow, it would be much easier for them to transport food, and they could get a lot faster.
Seeing that he seemed a little bit interesting, the Qian family worked harder and said, "In the future, we can make money with ox carts like the Zhao family in the slack time!"
Anyway, there are many people in the village, and the bullock cart going to and from the town is not enough. There is no such thing as robbing business. This idea is still very feasible.
Thinking of this, He Tian gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to town and have a look!"
When Zheng Yuefeng came back, seeing that they were all busy, he rolled up his sleeves and went down to the ground, saying that he should experience the joy of harvesting crops.
As a result, he made a good sickle in the hands of others. When he arrived, he was disobedient, and either cut the wheat or cut his own hand, which made him very depressed.
"Master, don't make trouble here, okay? Go and sit on the edge of the ground!" Xu Hua finally took his sickle intolerably and drove people out of the ground.
Zheng Yuefeng walked away dejectedly, sitting under the tree on the ground, and sighing again that he was useless. He also thought of Brother Hua's hard work and wanted to help him.
Xu Hua looked at the unhappy person and sighed. He knew the other person's mind, but he had cut himself several times. Although the mouth was not very big, it would still hurt!
"If you're worried, just go and have a look!" He Ling also stopped, and while speaking to him, he took out a small flat box from his arms and handed it over, "I broke my hand two days ago. I don’t need it anymore. Go and paint him."
After hesitating for a while, Xu Hua still stretched out his hand to take it.
He walked to the frustrated person and sat down, took his hand in his surprised gaze, and carefully applied the ointment to every wound, "If you can't do it, don't do it. You are not missing!"
Zheng Yuefeng saw that although his face was stern, the movements of his hands were gentle, his unhappiness disappeared, "I am so useless, I can't do anything!"
After Xu Hua gave him the medicine, when he heard him say this, he patted his forehead lightly, "You have been spoiled since childhood. Naturally, these will not be possible. I don't have the ability to manage so many shops!"
Touching the place where he was photographed, Zheng Yuefeng felt sweet in his heart. His brother Hua was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he came to comfort him for fear of his sadness.
Seeing that he had a smiling face, Xu Hua stood up, patted the dirt on his clothes, turned and walked into the ground, and said: "If you really want to help, just harvest our cut wheat. Here you are. Do it!"
"Hey!" Zheng Yuefeng jumped up from the ground excitedly, and passed after him.
Seeing the two people coming back one after the other, He Ling was relieved. Zheng Yuefeng's temper was sometimes like a child, coming and going quickly, so he knew it well!
Suddenly, his head fainted and his body shook. He shook his head and turned his head to look behind him for the first time. Qi Yue was bending over and cutting a bunch of wheat. He didn't pay attention to him. He breathed a sigh of relief. Patting his cheek, I feel a little more awake.
People really can’t rest all the time. The more they rest, the more they can’t do. He used to be in poor health and could do so much work, but now he has so many problems every day.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yue got up and saw him standing there motionless, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked to his side and reached out his hand to touch his sweaty face.
He Ling was taken aback. He turned around to see him and shook his head hurriedly, "It's okay, just thinking that the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better, and I'm very happy."
Qi Yue glanced at the two of them, then turned around and twisted his eyebrows, "I think your complexion is a bit bad, isn't it uncomfortable?"
He Ling was a little guilty of being asked by him, and he hurriedly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Why, if I feel uncomfortable, I will definitely tell Xianggong, but you, are you tired out these days?"
He said that, raising his hand and using his sleeves to wipe off the sweat that fell from his forehead, and then straightening out the hair on his face, which was a little painful.
"I'm fine with you, husband!" Qi Yue took his hand to his lips and kissed him, then leaned to his ear, and said with a smirk: "Doesn't Fu Lang know the best for his physical strength?"
He Ling was so scared that he hurriedly covered his mouth and saw that the two people over there were both lowering their heads and busying, before letting go, and punched his chest in embarrassment, "It's outside, you can say anything!"
Seeing a red cloud floating on his face, he looked more energetic. Qi Yue was not so worried anymore. He pressed his hand to his heart and said, "Okay, I will only say this to Fu Lang from now on. hear."
He Ling pulled his hand out, turned around and lowered his head to cut the wheat, no longer paying attention to this person who would provoke him. He is really getting worse and worse, and he will tease him!
Seeing that his little husband was really annoyed, Qi Yue was very witty and didn't hire him again. When this period of farming was over, he would check the other party's health.
