"Sir, I'm so tired this autumn, so I'm going back to pull corn.
I think you two should not be too tired, you have hired someone."
The old couple were very pleased, and they felt even more submissive after hearing what their granddaughter said.
The two sisters still went to the fields and ate at the same time. Today they also had vegetable buns with meat each.
"Sister, the meat is still delicious."
"I still have a piece of meat. I'll eat it tomorrow." I'm so tired now and it's really hard not to eat until I'm full.
When the two girls arrived in the field, they started to transfer cars, and they asked the younger sister to sit in the car. They had no choice but to leave her underneath, so they had no choice but to let her sit in a basket and tie her to the car, which was safer.
The trucks were pulled back one by one, and this time they were unloaded directly to the wheat field, where the work was done quickly.
It was just a donkey cart. Of course it wasn't very fast, but it was very good. The two little girls became laborers.
At noon, I still gave Japanese pumpkin buns and vegetable buns to my parents, and two sugar buns per person. I also gave them to the old couple in the same way.
In the afternoon, Li Shaoguang sent over a big fish that was caught in the reservoir.
In the evening, there was fish stewed with vermicelli, and the leftover potatoes from lunch. Or steamed steamed buns.
While Sun Yun was eating fish, he saw his two girls just eating vermicelli and potatoes, and for the first time, he added an extra piece for each of them.
Zhao Xiaoling felt a little flattered, but Zhao Xiaole didn't think so. She thought it must be her mother who had other ideas. So she was a little trepidatious.
In fact, Sun Yun really felt sorry for the two girls.
Although I looked down on them, they were my own children after all. Watching the two girls working like this, I suddenly remembered that when I was this age, I was just helping to cook at home, and I already felt very tired.
Zhao Qingxiang likes this. He really cares about his two daughters, who are filial and sensible.
Now two-thirds of the corn is about to be harvested. But there is really too much work ahead. The corn stalks in the field need to be knocked down, otherwise there will be nothing you can do when it freezes, and it will freeze again next spring.
Delay spring planting.
In addition, a lot of corn has been accumulated at home and in the wheat field, and the corn is peeled and dried. The last step is to rub the corn kernels.
There are also cotton, sweet potatoes, and Japanese melons grown on the ground. There are also several acres of soybeans that have not been harvested.
The two children will have to work together for about a month.
The two girls are very thin. Although this is normal, as the father of the children, how could he not feel distressed.
"Don't skimp, put more meat and oil in the stew."
Zhao Xiaoling nodded. "I understand, Dad."
After dinner, Zhao Qingxiang went to sleep in the field. After all, there were still some corn cobs that he had not pulled back.
It was still the same operation in the morning. Zhao Qingxiang asked Zhao Xiaoling to give each family member an egg every day, because he was afraid of really hurting the children.
In fact, this year they are much faster than the outside world. In previous years, they only hired five workers, but this year they hired ten, which really shows that they are fast.
After ten days of this, all the corn in the field was recovered, and the corn stalks were also pulled back. It was the hired workers who pulled it back so fast.
It took two days to pick all the cotton in the field, and three days to dig out the cotton stalks. Then came the soybeans. The price of these soybeans is very good every year, so even if it is troublesome, Zhao Qingxiang will plant some every year.
.
It took five days to grow sweet potatoes. There was no other way. In fact, they had calculated that planting sweet potatoes was not much more profitable than corn. They were helped by their two brothers-in-law.
The two girls now shuck corn whenever they have time. The corn in the yard has been put into corn baskets. After that, it is time to thresh the corn in the wheat field, and they also seize the time to separate the cotton peaches and wait until they can shuck the cotton.
OK.
It can be said that everything in the field has arrived at home.
"I'm thinking of letting these ten people work for a few more days to put all the corn in the basket."
"Then if we work a few more days, it will cost a lot of money." Sun Yun now feels a toothache whenever he mentions spending money.
"That's better than us having no free time at all. You've lost so much weight, and so have the two children. I don't want you to be too tired."
Sun Yun was willing to listen to what he said, so he didn't object.
Because there were many people shucking corn, Zhao Qingxiang placed a few more corn baskets in the yard, so that it would be easier to grind the corn in winter.
This year, their family was the fastest at work. The house was all tidied up, and Zhao Qingxiang went to help his parents with the work.
I can't help it now that I'm older. Even if I want to be strong, I can't do it anymore. I can't accept my old age.
"Qingxiang, Xiaoling and Xiaole are so capable." An Lixia sighed to her son again.
"Yes, these two girls have helped a lot with this autumn harvest."
"Yes, Sun Yun, don't let your two children go to school. Even if such children become successful in the future, they will not forget you or ignore you.
The year before last, Xiaoli came back and told me that only those who are literate will be more sensible, sensible and filial."
"Mom, I know. Don't worry. When Xiaobing and the others come over for National Day, I will take the children with them."
"Wouldn't it be possible to go to school next year? You can wait until the children celebrate the Chinese New Year before sending them away. You'd better go and settle down first." Zhao Tian also spoke.
"That's okay. I'll follow you there myself."
Zhao Qingxiang led ten people to work even faster.
"Qingjie came over yesterday to deliver the food and said they would have five days to collect it all.
Qingxiang, you said that this son is not as capable as your daughter."
"Mom, what I know is that I don't have a son, but I still have three daughters. Will there be anyone to take care of me until I die?"
In fact, the current thinking of the Zhao and Tian couple does not say that they must have grandchildren. As long as they are filial, daughters are no worse than sons.
The Li family's work has been completed this year, and all the food from the fields has arrived.
Now we also have to peel and grind the corn. After all, this task still needs to be handed in first.
It's getting quite cold in the morning and evening now. The Li family's three grandparents are also busy, so they hope to finish it soon so that they can go to Su Yuanyuan.
It will take four or five days for the Xu family to finish the work. They are also very anxious this year. If my brother-in-law and others come over and have not prepared the food, they will not be able to sell it for more money.
Their family is next to the Li family, and I am really envious when I see that they have already cleared all the land. However, they are slow because they have a lot of land.
Another week later, the autumn harvest of these families has ended, and the Zhao Qingxiang and Li family's corn has been peeled out and put into the corn basket, which makes it dry faster. At least faster than other families.
