Chapter 1023 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (19)
The women who lived next door to Lao Cui's house complained angrily when they met Mrs. Cui: "Qiu Hua, your eldest daughter-in-law is not as delicious as you said. She is lazy and useless. It's not the fertilizer she came up with that increased the rice production."
Quite a bit. I estimate that your eldest son’s two acres of rice fields can yield at least one stone more than in previous years.”
"impossible!"
Mrs. Cui has not been to the end of the village recently, and has not passed by the two acres of paddy fields. They are still growing at the same rate as when they were green and yellow. They are quite plump, but it is not as much as adding one stone. It is impossible!
She waved her hands, not believing it at all: "What she said is all fallacy, do you believe it?"
No one in Lao Cui's family believed it.
But reality gave them a solid slap...
In the hot summer, more than 90% of the rice in the rice fields has turned yellow and is ready for harvest.
Xu Yin made some calculations: With two acres of rice, an ordinary strong laborer would have to get up early and spend a whole day in the dark to harvest. But is she an ordinary strong laborer? She is Xu·Perpetual Machine·Yin blessed with permanent divine power! It would only take half a day to finish the harvest.
After harvesting, I can go to dry land to harvest rapeseed in the afternoon.
When they are all taken home, they will be threshed slowly and dried in the sun, so that they will not be afraid even if it rains heavily.
The top priority is to take it home!
"I will go with you."
After two months of recuperation, Cui Mengjin felt much better and wanted to go harvest rice with his wife.
He couldn't do it if he was asked to lie at home as an old man while his wife went to the ground alone under the scorching sun.
"You haven't healed your leg injury yet, so you're not allowed to go!"
Xu Yin put her hands on her hips and stared with her pretty eyes:
"It's only two acres of rice fields and one acre of dry land. I can handle it! Besides, our home is far away from the county seat. If we get injured twice due to a bump, how inconvenient is it to go to the county seat to see an old imperial doctor? You have to be really free.
If you don’t want to stay, please boil water for me and make a pot of herbal tea. It’s hot and I don’t want to drink hot water when I come back at noon.”
Xu Yin cut two hardwood pieces for him to use as crutches, trying not to put the weight on his injured leg that had not yet healed.
"I'll put the tea bags on the table and boil a pot of water. I'll make lunch when I get back."
It was a hot day and she didn't really want to eat steaming wood-fired rice. When she was cooking noodles in the morning, she rolled out some more soba noodles and mixed them with cold noodles for lunch.
Buckwheat is one of the local coarse grains. You will miss white rice every time you eat it, but occasionally it is very appetizing to make hot and sour cold noodles.
I have a hundred taels left over from selling ginseng, and now my family has a small income.
It has been more than four months since she came here, and the system has not "dinged" her and issued additional tasks for her. She has no plans to buy land or property for the time being, mainly because she doesn't know what kind of tasks the dog system will issue.
Furthermore, few people in Dawa Village dug ginseng in the mountains. My sister-in-law, with her koi luck, dug up young ginseng. She didn't want to become the focus of the whole village.
So the money on hand can be exchanged for some fine grains quietly, and the couple can hide and eat secretly, which is enough.
In addition, she has confidence in her family's two acres of paddy fields and one mu of dry land. Although the yield per mu of hybrid rice cannot be compared with that of later generations, which can easily produce two thousand kilograms per mu, under the same seed conditions, her family's harvest this year will definitely not be bad.
Xu Yin went to the hut and sprayed herself with P sunscreen spray that lasted for eight hours and was fully effective. She tied the cuffs and trouser legs of her long-sleeved trousers with strings, carried a simple herbal teapot made of bamboo tubes, and held a sickle.
Went to the fields to cut rice.
"Meng Jin's family, are you here to cut the rice alone? How is Meng Jin's leg injury?"
"From Meng Jin's family, go back and pick up the millet and I'll ask my two boys to help you."
Along the way, every woman she met would say hello to her.
Some of the children in the family often run to collect firewood and give pig grass to Xu Yin in exchange for a better breakfast than their own;
Some bought wild boar that she shot;
Some people saw Goudan, and Tiewa and her family followed her in making new-style fertilizers and tasted the benefits and wanted to follow her example.
Xu Yin smiled and greeted them one by one:
"His leg is much better, but the doctor said that if the injured muscles and bones are injured, it is best to recuperate for a hundred days, so as not to be completely healed and injured again with sequelae."
"Okay, thank you, auntie!"
The women exchanged pleasantries with her, then went to their respective rice fields and chatted with their families:
"It's really not the right time for the Lao Cui family to be divided... If the family hadn't been divided, the Meng Jin family wouldn't have to work so hard. They have to take care of their men, while also harvesting rice and rapeseed alone."
"No one from Lao Cui's family came to help?"
"I saw Cui Er coming back this morning. He should be harvesting his own rice. After harvesting, he should come over to help his elder brother."
"If he has a conscience, he should come to help. Although he had to advance several months' wages to buy three feet of silk to get out of the corvee, it stands to reason that all the wages earned before the separation of the family should be given to the public servant.
It’s not his own.”
"Who says it's not the case! I think Mrs. Cui is biased enough. If it were me, my two sons would either not go. If I don't have money to buy silk, I would both go!"
"Cui Er has a sweet mouth, otherwise he can get a job as a bookkeeper? Meng Jin has been honest since he was a child, and he only works dully."
"well……"
The villagers were cutting rice while gossiping about their family problems. They worked for a long time, and the sun was in the sky. They were so tired that their backs ached. They dragged their weak steps and returned to the field with bundles of the morning's harvest. They were surprised to find Meng Jin's family
The rice field has been empty, leaving behind a section of rice stubble with almost the same height and smooth cut, and the cut rice ears are neatly stacked on the field ridge.
"!!!"
Everyone looked at each other.
What speed is this?
More than a dozen members of their family, old and young, were dispatched together. There were six strong laborers alone, and they only managed to cut three acres in one morning. Meng Jin's wife had to cut two acres of rice by herself?
And the incision is too smooth! Is Meng Jin’s sickle so sharp?
Xu Yin: Learn about Zhang Xiaoquan’s whetstone!
"Meng Jin's wife!"
Xu Yin was squatting by the river next to the rice fields washing her hands when she was stopped by Cui Dazhuang.
"You cut all these by yourself?"
"yes!"
"..."
"Dad! Come and take a look! Why do I feel that Uncle Meng Jin's two acres of land has more rice than our three acres of land!"
"What???"
Old Man Cui took a closer look and saw that it was not the case!
Xu Yin harvested two acres of rice ears and tied them into bundles to form a hill, while their three acres of rice fields harvested only this amount of rice ears.
"!!!"
Next year... no! This year! This year I will ask Meng Jin’s wife to learn the unique composting method!
Xu Yin couldn't bear their fiery looks, so she carried a bundle of rice ears in one hand, loaded it onto the wheelbarrow driven by Carpenter Li from the village entrance a few days ago, and returned home as if she was running away.
"Meng Jin's wife has such good physical strength! She has been busy all morning and she still has the strength to push such a heavy cart of rice back!"
"Dazhuang didn't mean that when Meng Jin came back from the county town for leg treatment, it was his wife who carried him out of the carriage and into the house."
"Meng Jin is blessed!"
"Couldn't it be Meng Jin who was pancaked on the bed?"
"You old man, you dare to say this in front of children, you are not ashamed!"
"Hey hey hey..."
The wind was like a conscientious postman, carrying the conversation of Cui Dazhuang's family to Xu Yin's ears.
She stumbled and almost slipped into the drainage ditch at the edge of the field.
Fortunately, the rice was harvested and the rapeseed was planted in the dry land at the foot of the mountain not far from her home. Otherwise, she would not have to come here again in the past few days. Otherwise, she would be really worried about seeing Cui Dazhuang's family, and her mind would be filled with the image of Comrade Xiaojin hugging her and tossing and turning on the bed.
