When handing in the items, weigh them on the spot. Remember, when you finish handing in the items in the afternoon, add up the total weight to calculate your work points for the day.
Wei Xingyu pays a lot every day. She can get at least three work points a day, and sometimes she can get four.
The older children are stronger, and cutting a large basket is enough for two work points.
Wei Xingyu is weak and has a small basket on her back. She cuts a basket full and then goes to hand it over, and then comes back to cut it. She has to make two round trips in the morning, which takes a lot of time.
This is the second basket. Wei Xingyu always cuts the harvest before going home, because her home is closer to the place where we harvest grass. At noon, she always goes home to eat first, and then goes to the village to harvest grass after eating.
Looking at Wei Xingyu's hands, which were stained black and green by grass juice, Zihua's heart moved slightly.
It was the touching emotion brought to her by the bond of family ties.
"I'll help you cut it." Yuhua stretched out her hand towards Wei Xingyu.
Wei Xingyu put the small sickle behind her back and said, "Sister, let me cut it. Sister, please wait aside."
Being protected by a child who was much weaker than herself, Zi Hua felt more ripples in her heart.
Zihua followed her will and rubbed Wei Xingyu's little face, and wiped off a piece of mud on her face with her thumb, "I'll cut it, and you'll be responsible for picking the grass into the basket."
"Yeah." Wei Xingyu gave the sickle to Zihua. Between listening to her sister and fearing that she would get tired, Wei Xingyu chose to listen to her sister. Anyway, she was watching, and she would take over if her sister got tired.
.
When the original owner was a child, he would mow grass to earn work points when he had time. Zi Hua found the memory of how to mow grass and what kind of grass to mow.
After cutting for a while, Yuhua quickly became familiar with it and picked up the speed.
Wei Xingyu followed behind to pick it up, put the grass cut by Zuihua into a pile and put it into the basket, pressing it with both hands to make it firmer.
Seeing her sister cutting quickly and accurately, Wei Xingyu's eyes were full of stars. Just like her mother said, her sister is great at everything she does, even cutting grass well.
He picked up a bunch and put it into the basket. No matter how hard he pressed it, he couldn't hold it down anymore. Wei Xingyu hurriedly shouted, "Sister, that's enough. There's too much to hold."
Zihua stopped, stood up and stretched her legs and feet. She had been squatting and moving while mowing the grass, and her legs were sore from squatting.
Xingyu went to pick up the last piece of grass, while Zuhua walked dozens of meters away and squatted down to dig up the grass again.
They are some good-quality Rehmannia glutinosa trees, one of the ingredients used in making Yunsheng Pills.
Wei Xingyu pressed her whole body onto the basket, then finally pushed it down a bit and put all the grass into the basket.
Seeing Yuhua digging grass roots, Wei Xingyu ran over curiously, "Sister, what are you digging for?"
Zihua didn't hide it from Wei Xingyu, "This is Rehmannia glutinosa, a kind of Chinese medicinal herb. I dug it back and prepared it to be made into medicine."
Wei Xingyu's star-studded eyes shone again, "Sister is so amazing." She even knows how to make medicine.
Zi Hua picked five of the best quality ones and dug them up. After digging them out, she put them under the pigweed in her backpack, mainly because she was afraid that they would fall out while walking around on her back.
Seeing a piece of honeysuckle, she remembered Du Laoqi's honeysuckle wall, so she dug up a few seedlings and planned to plant them at the root of the courtyard wall at home.
"Isn't Erhua a flower picker? Why did my sister dig up the roots?" Honeysuckle is called Erhua here. Erhua can be seen everywhere, in the fields and on the roadsides.
"Pick it back and plant it in our backyard. It's beautiful and useful."
"Sister, do you want to plant a lot of flowers? I will help you dig them in the future."
"Okay. But you have to dig it with someone you know. Some beautiful flowers are poisonous, so you can't just dig them up and touch them."
"I understand, sister. I learned from you before digging."
Zihua picked up the basket and put it on her back. Wei Xingyu said anxiously, "Sister, Shen, I'll carry it."
There was a softness in Zihua's heart, "It's not heavy at all, I can carry it easily. Xingyu, let's go, I'll let you carry it when I get tired."
Wei Xingyu looked at the backpack worriedly, but still held Zihua's hand, and shouted to her friends in the distance, "Fanni, Sanya, I'm going to my sister's house first."
Two responses soon came.
"I know, you go home first."
"I'll cut it again before leaving."
Wei Xingyu waved her hand in the direction of Ying Hesheng again and followed Zihua home.
When the two returned home, Miao Dalan asked again whether she was tired, whether it was hot or not, and whether she felt comfortable at all.
From this we can understand where Wei Xingyu's desire to protect the original owner came from. Miao Dalan regarded the original owner as a glass man and was afraid that it would break accidentally, so he also brought Wei Xingyu to this concept.
Miao Dalan said that she would not let Zihua go to pick up Wei Xingyu again, saying that Wei Xingyu would be picked up by her.
Yes, now that Yuhua's illness is cured, Miao Dalan goes to work normally, and happens to bring Wei Xingyu with her when she comes back. Wei Xingyu only needs to carry the grass once by herself, and Miao Dalan will help her when she comes back at noon and evening.
back.
Today I was worried about Yuhua and came back early, so I couldn't pick up Wei Xingyu.
Zihua didn't insist either.
I thought that when she got better, I would talk about not letting Wei Xingyu fight pigweed so that she could study more at home.
Her study of medicine has come to an end.
But this road is a little different from what she thought.
Knowing that she wanted to study medicine and had borrowed medical books from Du Laoqi to read, Miao Dalan and Wei Baoshan were very happy. Miao Dalan could not wait to send Du Laoqi a apprenticeship ceremony immediately, but fortunately Wei Baoshan persuaded her to do so.
He stopped and said that he would wait until Du Laoqi opened his mouth to formally accept his disciples.
Zihua was very confused on the sidelines. When did she say that she wanted to become Du Laoqi's teacher? She just said that she wanted to learn some medical skills and borrowed a book to read.
She thought she understood people very well, but she didn't expect that it was just her imagination. She really didn't know how Miao Dalan and Wei Baoshan thought that she wanted to study medicine and just wanted to become a disciple.
She was not needed for cooking, so Zihua carried the honeysuckle seedlings to the base of the east wall and planted them one by one along the base of the wall.
This can be regarded as the first step in her farming career.
…………
The next day, Zihua did not rest at home as much as Miao Dalan told her to do. If she had followed Miao Dalan's wishes, it would have been best for her to stay at home all day.
How could Zihua really do what she was told? Her conscious body only realized the fetters of family affection given to her by Heaven and did not let it affect her decision.
However, she had reported to Miao Dalan in advance, saying that the weather would continue to be good, and she wanted to go back to collect some medicine. She would not go far, but would look for it on the edge, and she would be back soon.
Because she had reported studying medicine, Miao Dalan agreed with her promise that she would not tire herself out, and repeatedly told her not to go too far.
After Miao Dalan and the others walked for about twenty minutes, they figured it was time for the people working in the fields to go to the fields, so they went to the east hay shed where tools were kept, picked up a hatchet, and walked out of the house carrying a basket on their backs.
After leaving the entrance of Xicun, Zihua took the road up the mountain this time.
Her purpose is simple and clear, to find food.
As her practice deepened, her food intake increased.
She hasn't had enough to eat in the past few days.
