Li Hongxiang had just left for a while when Zhao Yanli came over.
"Do you have time to go out for a walk today?"
"I came here to tell you the good news. My eldest sister is pregnant."
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, isn't that normal? It's been almost half a year since they got married.
"My eldest sister came back yesterday and lost a lot of weight." She was a little worried.
"I still have cottonseed oil here, how about you send some to eldest sister?"
“My sister-in-law asked her to take some oil back, but she refused.
In fact, my eldest sister just couldn’t bear it. Yesterday, my sister-in-law made dumplings made with meat oil, leek and eggs for her, and she ate a lot of them."
"Isn't that what happens when a daughter returns to her parents' home?"
"Yuanyuan, actually I think my eldest sister's life is not good. Their family still lives together, and there is a lot of land."
"What's wrong with having more land? One hundred acres of land can have a little donkey, and it will work faster that way."
"But if there is more land, there will be more work. If there are more people, there will be more conflicts."
"Didn't you ask?" This is not her style either.
"I asked, and the eldest sister said it was pretty good."
"Don't worry, she is already married. How can she still not know what to do? Her saying this means that she can still live well."
"Yeah. I'm just worried."
"Xiao Li, I'm going out this year. I'm thinking of selling all the chickens, ducks and geese at home. I originally wanted to kill the meat-eating ones, but I think they lay eggs very diligently, and I'm a little reluctant to part with them."
"Why are you selling it? I'll feed it to you."
"So many animals. I'm embarrassed."
"What's the matter? Yuanyuan, I'll move here to help you feed your livestock in the winter."
"Just you? I'm not worried."
"What's there to worry about? My second brother is expected to get married in the autumn. If that doesn't work, then we sisters will all move in."
"Is the second brother also getting married? I never had the chance to go there. Which girl?"
"My sister-in-law introduced her to her as her cousin. But she has nothing to do with Team Leader Tian. She is a relative of my sister-in-law on her mother's side."
"How are people?"
"Quite capable, but not as good-looking as my sister-in-law. But it's okay."
"Second brother agrees?"
"Yes. Agreed. The two merchants will get married after the autumn, so they can have time.
By the way, I will go to the city to buy a watch for my second brother in a while. Do you want to come with me?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I'm not going. There are so many animals at home."
The two of them had already entered the courtyard as they spoke.
"Yuanyuan. Why is your pig so big?"
"Is it big? It's normal."
Zhao Yanli smacked her lips, "Big, much bigger than mine. That's right, you are so willing to feed animals. It's normal for them to grow big."
"We'll stay here for lunch, and we'll also make dumplings and eggs with leeks.
This year I will go to the beach and bring back some dried shrimps, so they will taste better when put in leeks."
"I envy you and want to go with you." Zhao Yanli sighed after saying that. She really couldn't get out. Her brothers and sisters at home would definitely not agree.
"Yuanyuan, if you have anything delicious, bring me some more."
"Okay, no problem. I still have dried fruits here. You can eat them first, and then send some to eldest sister and bring back some to Xiaoling to grind her teeth."
"You still have some, and I've eaten up all the ones I saved for."
"I'm the only one who always forgets to eat."
The two of them are so agile that making dumplings is no big deal.
In the end, before the two of them finished eating, Su Yuanyuan asked Zhao Yanli to bring dried fruits to Zhao Yanping.
Now that Zhao Qingjie is finally married, Su Yuanyuan thought she would just give him a piece of cloth and twenty eggs, and that should be enough.
Now we can put aside the work in the fields and start leveling the wheat field outside the yard. The Li family has no need for this. They haven't touched the front yard at all, so a little leveling will be enough.
At the beginning of September, Su Yuanyuan saw that the spring wheat was ready to be harvested, so she also went to the Li family's field to have a look, and then told them that the wheat was ready to be harvested.
To be honest, because the Li family was nearby, she almost didn't use her powers to do any work this year. She had already thought about cutting wheat. She would use her physical strength during the day and use her powers at night. Of course, the Li family would not work at night.
Sometimes ideals are always beautiful, but in reality, they are powerless.
People saw her cutting wheat at night, and her third son followed her.
So I can only come with a scythe and a sickle.
Thirty acres of wheat cannot be harvested overnight, and the threshing field is not large, so there is still time for threshing.
Now Su Yuanyuan misses the thresher very much.
Fortunately, the ewe is very powerful. Even when Su Yuanyuan is cutting wheat in the field, it can pull the stick to press it. This saves Su Yuanyuan a lot of time.
"Sister, aren't you worried about the sheep stealing food?" Li Liyun came over to deliver watermelons and found it very novel to see the sheep pulling the roller to crush wheat.
"Probably not. Besides, it doesn't matter if you let him eat some. It saves me a lot of trouble."
Now Su Yuanyuan threshes grains at night, so that she can use her powers from time to time to relieve fatigue.
Ten days later, all the wheat was harvested. As soon as the threshing was completed, it started to rain.
She had a tarpaulin in her hand and hurriedly sent it to the Li family.
The third son and his father are now carrying them into the house. This is the benefit of having the wheat field in the yard.
I helped them cover them with tarpaulins, and then ran home in the rain.
The rain was not heavy and it stopped in the morning. The Li family still had more than ten acres of land to mow, but it was coming soon. There would definitely be no harvest today, so they could only do the work in the fields.
The skin of the corn cobs was already yellow. Su Yuanyuan was in a hurry, so she didn't wait. She finished the corn fence in the morning and started breaking the cobs in the afternoon.
This time she did the same thing as before. She peeled off the corn cobs directly and put them on the donkey cart when the basket was full. When the donkey cart was full, she rushed back and put them in the corn cob.
If someone saw Su Yuanyuan's sheep and donkeys like this, they would be very envious.
On the third day, Feng Baoshan drove over.
"Xiao Su, just hand over the cotton directly to the cotton peaches. The field department will find someone to play the cotton."
"Director Feng, how much do you pay per pound in this cotton farm?" It's better to ask clearly.
"One pound and four cents."
Su Yuanyuan thought about it and realized that giving the cottonseed 40 cents would actually be equivalent to 1.2 yuan for cotton. It would also save the processing fee for spun cotton, but the cottonseed oil would be gone. The price is really not high.
"Director Feng, I handed over the wheat and corn. You can keep the cotton for yourself. I also want cottonseed oil."
Feng Baoshan also knew that the price was not high. This was the result of research at a meeting. But some people felt unbalanced when they saw a woman earning so much money.
Su Yuanyuan knew that at this price, the field department and the field department would not be able to receive cotton. There is no fool. If the field department wants it, the price must be similar.
