Everyone in the village who had finished harvesting the wheat was threshing in the wheat field. They had already reached this stage, and they were all in a hurry.
The weather is raining now and then. We really have to work against the clock, for fear that the wheat harvested with so much hard work will be soaked by the rain.
The families that harvested wheat early have now begun to sow corn. Those with livestock have an advantage.
Hu Chunhua's family was divided into three acres of wheat land. Yang Ming just went to the field early in the morning to light wheat straw.
Today, my daughter-in-law went to her husband's house to borrow money. He felt very uncomfortable, not with his wife, but with his family.
In fact, he knew how much money his family had, but he only gave him twenty yuan.
He is the eldest, and he used to take care of his younger brothers. But this really chilled him.
In fact, Mrs. Yang did not give more money to her two younger sons this time, but she kept one hundred yuan in her own hand.
Now that I am older, have money in my hands, and have enough confidence, those two unscrupulous people will be careful with themselves.
The sweet potato seedlings are already climbing vines. When Su Yuanyuan was a child, she had fried sweet potato seedling leaves with minced garlic. Today was a day off, so she carried the cage to the field to pick some leaves for lunch.
The baby pork at home is plump and growing very well, but the cornmeal has gone down a lot. I am thinking of going to the reservoir to fish for aquatic plants when it rains. Instead of drying it in the sun, I chop it up and put it directly in the pig food.
There is still cornmeal to grind, and there is not much left.
The next morning she thought about fishing for aquatic plants. The piglet liked to eat them very much, so she added some small fish and a small amount of aquatic plants.
After all, now is the time to grow quickly. If there is less food, the pigs will grow slower, which is not worth the gain.
Just as I was preparing to take them to the reservoir, Hu Chunhua came over.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
"Yuanyuan. Auntie, come here and ask for your help. My family has been allocated three acres of land, and I want you to help me plant some."
"Okay, I'll put the things back."
Hu Chunhua really had no choice. Two families were in a partnership. They wanted to farm today, but the animals belonged to three families. How could this be possible? There was a quarrel this morning.
The three acres of land only gave them one day to farm with a donkey. That was simply not enough time to farm.
Su Yuanyuan listened to Hu Chunhua's words and said, "Auntie, how about I take the sheep to farm? Is that a good way to farm?"
Hu Chunhua nodded reluctantly, "Yuanyuan, then just hold the sheep."
When they arrived at the field, Yang Minggang and his four brothers had already started working. The youngest boy led the donkey in front, and Yang Minggang supported the donkey. The eldest son spread manure, and Yang Xue planted seeds.
Su Yuanyuan and Hu Chunhua started from the other side of the field. Although sheep can do it, they can't do it as fast as donkeys, but this is just right.
Hu Chunhua spreads manure by himself and can catch up with even a few seeds.
It was not until twelve o'clock that Su Yuanyuan went home. The sheep were resting in the field. She felt a little distressed.
Hu Chunhua asked her to let her eat but was refused. There were still pigs and chickens to feed at home.
It wasn't until after seven o'clock in the evening that three acres of land were finally planted.
Su Yuanyuan went home around five o'clock, and the Yang family finally buried the soil and worked for more than two hours.
After returning home, Su Yuanyuan gave the sheep a drink of spiritual spring water and patted its head distressedly. "Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest."
Su Yuanyuan rested at home for a day, weeding the vegetable garden, but looking at the green in her eyes, she was in a good mood. These were all the fruits of her own labor.
Because the land in front of the door is reclaimed land, it is thinner than cultivated land, and there are more weeds. Although it is green, a lot of grass still grows.
I had no choice but to weed again. There were too many weeds, which took away the nutrients of the grain. The sorghum had now grown to more than one meter, and it was really hot and sticky to weed inside.
In this way, the big hoe couldn't be used, so I had to squat and work with the small hoe. When I got to the other end, the clothes on my back were soaked through.
It was a good year this year, and it didn’t start raining until all the wheat in the village had reached the homes.
The diligent family has already planted wheat stubble, and Hu Chunhua's two sisters-in-law are the lazy ones.
Originally, the little donkey had been returned the day before yesterday, but now the two of them were not in a hurry. Today she had a headache. Tomorrow she had a backache. Anyway, she had to take off her clothes for two days. When the two of them got to the fields, they were quarreling over who was doing the work.
At that time, the sky suddenly became gloomy. Now the two families went home again.
Old Mrs. Yang was feeding the chickens. When she saw them coming back, she sighed and comforted herself. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. At her age, how many more days can she still worry about?
But I still feel very bad. Even if I try to comfort myself, I still worry about their future life.
If we hadn't separated the families, this situation wouldn't have happened. The wheat stubble had already been planted.
The old lady was a little unhappy with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Moreover, the eldest couple are no longer close to me.
In fact, the old lady thought too much. Yang Minggang and his wife had not changed at all, they were still the same.
The second and third children saw that my mother was not paying attention to them, and they felt unsure that they could stop working if they didn't listen. Of course they wanted to, and they hoped that the rain would fall as hard as possible.
As they wished, it rained for two days.
Su Yuanyuan has been making clothes at home for the past two days, and she has also ground a bag of cornmeal. There are two bags of soybeans in the space. She is growing the soybeans she brought over. The soybean seeds she bought are also ground this time and placed in the cornmeal.
Add nutrition to livestock.
The rain stopped at midnight on the third day. Su Yuanyuan originally wanted to set up the ground cage, but suddenly she felt that something was wrong. It had rained for two days, and the water level must have risen. She still stayed calmly, but she couldn't take risks.
It was a sunny day today. Su Yuanyuan went to the river at noon. It usually only takes a quarter of an hour to get there. Today it took 20 minutes and it was too muddy. I dropped my shoes several times. When I got to the river, I looked around and saw that it was completely white.
In one piece, the water level rose by at least twenty centimeters.
He glanced at it from afar, turned around and went back. No matter how much he loved money, he would not gamble with his own safety.
If it rains for two days, the fields will be open for at least five days before work can be done.
Because of the heavy rainfall this time, all the corn that was planted was unearthed.
Hu Chunhua came here specially. "Girl, it's lucky to have you, otherwise I might not be able to grow corn at home."
"Auntie, I didn't do anything."
"I'll start building a house in a few days."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, "That's good. It will save you any trouble."
"Yeah, I'm willing to do it even if I have to pay debts. If I didn't have the money from selling fish last year, I really wouldn't dare to build this house."
"It will get better gradually in the future."
Hu Chunhua smiled and nodded. There are no lazy people in his family. The youngest is eight years old and can work. As long as his family works hard, they will definitely be able to live a good life.
