The road was very muddy and it was very uncomfortable to step on the mud.
When she arrived at Yang Minggang's house, she saw that the door was closed, so she knocked on it.
"Girl, why are you here?"
"Uncle, haven't my aunt and others come back?"
"Yes, it must have caught up with the rain. I will pick them up soon."
I frowned and went home. I couldn't do anything in this weather.
When I got home, I was still a little worried about Hu Chunhua and the others.
Back to yesterday, Hu Chunhua was pushing a cart and leading a sheep to chase the children. She was also very hungry, but because she was in a hurry, she had no time to eat.
Because she was from the next village, she saw that the children were not there when she arrived at the field.
"Chunhua? Is this the sheep that knows how to play tricks?"
"Well. Brother, how many acres of land do you have left at home?"
"Come on, there are still five acres of land." Hu Chunhua started from the other side, which made it much faster.
I kept doing it until I couldn't see anymore, and then I went home.
The children helped their grandma's family work in the wheat field, and finally got all the wheat grains back before dark, and all the wheat straw was piled up.
The whole family gathered together to eat. Hu Chunhua wanted to go home immediately after the meal, but before they finished eating, it started raining heavily. There was no way they could go back.
Lying together with my mother at night, I thought, "This year's wheat harvest at home is 10% worse than last year." The old lady was a little worried.
"The same goes for our family."
"This rain really comes at the wrong time. If we didn't have so many families, it might not be as bad now. But don't let it rain continuously. By then the wheat will sprout."
"My brother-in-law's family hasn't finished harvesting yet. My mother-in-law went to the fields this morning and asked Ming Gang to cut wheat for them. At that time, my land hadn't been finished yet."
"Don't be as familiar with her as she is. She's older and her mind is no longer clear."
"Huh, I haven't had a clear mind in so many years.
Her son won't come over and is still sitting on the ground crying and howling. I won't spoil her and tell her that we, the four of us, won't take care of her anymore."
"You, your temper is still the same. I heard that this sheep can still be a good guy?"
"Well, the little girl who was born in Laba in our village has a sheep. She is a young girl, so she came up with it on her own."
"Ahem, a woman's life is still really hard. A man born in a horoscope will ride a big horse."
Yang Minggang didn't sit down and take a breath until after ten o'clock. Looking at the two families, he really didn't know what to say.
"Brother, where are my sister-in-law and the others?"
"I went to my father-in-law's house to help."
"Huh, my uncle's family didn't help, so he ran to another village." Old Mrs. Yang snorted.
Yang Minggang didn't bother to pay attention to them. Over the years, he knew how the children were treated here and how his grandma's family treated the children.
"Brother, we still haven't collected half of it."
"You always eat faster than you work, and you deserve it if you can't harvest. Okay, I'm going back." Seeing them all upset, there are still more than half of the wheat that has not been harvested. The production was already reduced, but now they have to suffer this year.
I'm hungry.
"Boss, it's raining so hard. Why don't you just sleep in mom's house?" Old Mrs. Yang said, she wanted to have a good talk with her eldest son.
Yang Minggang stood up, "No, the pigs at home haven't been fed yet."
After a day's work, they still haven't had a meal. The two lazy women are still sitting in the main room with no intention of doing anything.
He was extremely lucky to have found a capable and sensible wife. When he returned home, he saw that the door was locked, and it seemed that he would not be back today. The pot was cold and the stove was cold. He had no choice but to cook the porridge by himself.
Yang Minggang watched Su Yuanyuan leave, but did not return to the house. He locked the door and went to his father-in-law's house.
Before he arrived, he saw his wife and children walking back.
"How's it going? Have you finished planting the land at home?"
Hu Chunhua shook his head, "Not yet. There are three acres of land left, so we have to wait."
It rained last night and this morning. There will be no work in the fields for three days. And even if you want to do it, where will you put the cut wheat?
"Fortunately we have finished planting."
Yang Minggang knew that his wife was particularly disgusted with the brothers, so he did not talk about their situation.
“How was the wheat harvest?”
"Mom said it was more than 10% less, which is similar to what we have at home."
The road was not easy to walk on, so the boy simply took off his shoes and walked barefoot to save energy.
The three children returned home, and the couple went to Su Yuanyuan's house.
The ewe was already very anxious, and it was she who pulled Hu Chunhua away.
"This sheep knows home."
"That girl came here this morning."
Su Yuanyuan sent the couple away and quickly got some food for the ewe. It was really not easy, but she was too embarrassed to refuse. At this time, everyone was tired, let alone the animals.
She now lives her life lightly. She stayed in the house in the afternoon to grind flour. Even Su Yuanyuan didn't eat the flour ground from new wheat. There was too much bran in it and it was not delicious.
For three consecutive days, she grinded flour at home and did not go out.
When the road was no longer muddy, she went to the reclaimed land and walked around. The crops were full of energy, but the weeds were also with them.
No sweet potatoes or sorghum were planted this year. They were all planted with corn. Weeding is relatively simple.
Because she can relax, that is, she has free time. If she is lazy, she probably won't be able to weed.
However, we can't work in the field right now. It depends on the situation in a week.
She carried two buckets and went to the reservoir. The ground cages had not been up for several days, so there must be quite a few broken ones.
Her life is easy, but some families in the village are still harvesting wheat, and there is really nothing they can do about it. If they wait, they won’t be able to plant the seeds. Wheat production has already been reduced, and if they don’t plant corn, they will really suffer.
I'm hungry. After a week, all the wheat has been ground into flour. Fortunately, I bought a lot of coarse cloth and made fifty flour bags. Otherwise, there would be no place to put them. Now they are all neatly stacked in the space.
In the past, there was still a lot of food stored, and with all this, Su Yuanyuan felt that she would be able to eat for the rest of her life just by doing nothing.
Now she has an egg in the morning and a goose egg in the evening, and her life is so beautiful. The next step is to weed. The corn that has been sown should also be weeded after it has sprouted. Anyway, she will have to work in the fields within a month.
She still has the same life routine. This way she doesn't feel tired. She is busy every day and feels quite fulfilled.
Chickens, ducks and geese have also begun to lay eggs, and every day is a full harvest.
Nowadays, every household has a day like this, going to the fields to weed every day.
"Yuanyuan, your corn seedlings are half as big as mine."
The two little girls bumped into each other again, both squatting to weed the seedlings.
