(I’ve been a little busy these days, and my brain is almost a mess, so the recent chapters haven’t been written well. Lao Jiu is ashamed...)
(Brothers, with your support, give Lao Jiu some motivation and wake up his spirit, collect it, recommend tickets, etc...)
Double grabbing is not only a race against time, but also against the sun. The coolness on your head is always more refreshing than the scorching sun on your butt.
The next day, Fang Rui really got up from the military tent when he smelled the first rooster crow. After washing, he was making a simple breakfast with his mother. One after another, everyone got up, and they also started to wash up, then get dressed and get ready, enthusiastically
Eager to fight together, Yaya Nini is fully armed and equipped with soy sauce equipment.
Yu Yinghong advised everyone not to go, but Lin Fangfang smiled and said, "Auntie, we are going to experience labor. To be honest, we are quite interested and curious about these things."
"Yes, Auntie, just let us go."
Lao Bian echoed that he didn't want to go to some extent. The shadow of the little locust missiles left in his heart last time when he was planting rice has been lingering. However, he lost to Fang Rui in the frog-catching bet that night. I hope
I had to admit defeat and go even if I didn't want to go. Now that Lin Fangfang wanted to go, she simply asked to go on her own initiative to avoid being said by someone, which would be too embarrassing.
"Sister Yinghong, I have never done farm work before when I grow up. I really want to experience the joy of labor... To be honest, I have always wanted to eat the fruits of my own labor." Xu Lijiao said with a faint smile.
.
Zheng Zhiqing and Yang Zhiqing also nodded repeatedly, indicating that they also had this mentality.
Seeing that everyone wanted to go, Yu Yinghong stopped trying to persuade her and asked Murong Rong to stay at home with her sister and Yaya Nini to stay too. Murong Rong said she was going and asked Yang Zhicheng to stay. This time Yang Zhicheng did not let her go.
Looking at her, Murong Rong had no choice but to stay. When Yaya Nini heard that she was asked to stay too, she pursed her lips and became unhappy, yelling that her grandma was looking down on them, and she also yelled that she must prove to everyone that they were
The hard-working little bee can do anything.
Yu Yinghong couldn't control the two girls, so she just let them go crazy.
Fang Rui didn't stop them. Children should experience more labor. This is a good thing with no harm at all.
So Yu Yinghong and Fang Rui carried the rice thresher, and the rest of the people carried the rice thresher's board, another carried the basket, and the other carried the bamboo dustpan. The group of people rushed towards the fields in a cloud of dust and smoke.
……………………
Misty mist floated in the mid-air in the field, covering it like a shy girl's veil. The morning wind blew over, making it especially refreshing. And the fishy smell of water mixed with it smelled even more...
It has a different flavor.
Arrive at the field where we finished killing the crops yesterday.
Put down the rice beater and put the four boards on it.
Get ready to start plowing rice.
Generally speaking, the best staffing configuration for rice harvesting is three adults and two children.
Two adults threshed the rice on a rice thresher, and one adult took the rice out of the thresher chamber with a leather dustpan, and then picked it back with a basket... The task of the two children was to carry the rice stalks over and send them to the thresher for threshing.
The rice machine is in the hands of two adults, so that the adults can knock out the rice straws in their hands without having to pick them up themselves, and can directly continue to hit them, so that the time can be fully utilized.
The people currently participating in the war include Fang Rui, Yu Yinghong, Lao Bian, Lin Fangfang, Yang Zhicheng, Zheng Zhiqing, Xu Lijiao, and the standard soy sauce girl Yaya Nini. There are nine people in total, and they can start working on the two fields directly.
Of course, it is impossible for two Qiutian to start work at the same time. Except for the mother and son, the others are all super rookies... Fang Rui arranged for Lao Bian and Lin Fangfang to go up first, while the other three will rest first and replace them later, so that there can be someone in the middle.
Rest makes people feel relaxed.
Yaya Nini was even more unhappy when she heard that she had not arranged her own affairs...
Fang Rui touched their heads and said with a smile, "Do you know the song "The Little Girl Gleaning Rice"?"
"I know, I know."
Yaya responded and sang happily:
"The little girl gleaning rice ears, walking barefoot on the ridge of the field, with a wild chrysanthemum on her head..."
Nini beat the time and sang along.
Fang Rui clapped his hands and said, "Yaya Nini sang so well... Did you know that this little girl gleaning ears of rice is singing about you two?"
Yaya Nini was delighted when she heard this. It turned out that her father had given her the important task of picking up rice ears. This had to be done carefully, so she solemnly gave Fang Rui a Young Pioneer salute, "Yaya Nini
Guaranteed victory in completing the mission.”
……………………
Fang Rui first taught Lao Bian and Lin Fangfang how to pick up the rice straw that had been piled into small piles, and told them not to mix the small piles into large piles, and then separate them again, because one pair of hands can only pinch them.
Such a big one.
Then teach the two people that when the rice straw is delivered to their hands, they should bring the roots over instead of the ears of rice, so that they can take it easily.
These things are very simple and can be mastered as soon as they are told. After all, children can do them.
Fang Rui and his mother stepped up and down on the pedal of the rice thresher. Suddenly, the rollers of the rice thresher began to rotate rapidly, making a rapid whistling sound. This whistling sound broke through the silence of the early morning, spreading...
It has to be far away.
The fully foot-operated rice threshing machine of Fang Rui's family is the most backward threshing tool in Pingyang and even in South Korea. This kind of rice threshing machine requires your feet to step on the pedal up and down continuously.
The heart will stop rotating, and the millet on the ears of rice relies on the rotation of the roller core to thresh... Nowadays, rice threshers in many places are equipped with motors, and the belt is used to rotate the roller core through electricity, saving time.
It saves a lot of effort, and some places just buy small harvesters, which is more convenient, not to mention those with large-scale mechanized planting.
Lao Bian was responsible for delivering rice straw to Fang Rui, and Lin Fangfang was responsible for delivering rice straw to Yu Yinghong.
The mother and son took over the rice stalks and stuffed the rice ears into the bin. The millet particles on the rice ears quickly detached from the rice ears under the rotation of the roller core. When the whole handful of rice stalks and rice ears were almost completely stripped of the millet grains,
When the rice is ready, throw the bare straw to the side of the rice thresher.
The straws that were threshed quickly were piled high on both sides of the rice thresher. My mother took the leather dustpan and basket to get the rice out of the machine barn.
Fang Rui asked Lao Bian to come up and step on the rice thresher with him, sending the rice straw to Xu Lijiao as a substitute.
……………………
Threshing millet with a rice thresher seems easy, but in fact there are certain skills involved.
For example, when you step on the pedal, you should not step on it with all your strength. You should follow the inertia of the up and down movement of the pedal. This saves much effort. When grabbing the rice straw to feed into the machine cabin, you should not hold on with all your strength. In this way, your hands
It's easy to get sore and swollen. When your hands get sore and swollen, you'll tremble. If you tremble, you'll lose your hand and the straw will be thrown into the whole warehouse. It's a little troublesome to clean up.
Fang Rui emphasized two points with Lao Bian. Lao Bian laughed disapprovingly and said that it was nothing.
As a result, within a few minutes of pedaling, his movements slowed down significantly and he could not keep up with Fangrui's rhythm. When feeding rice straw into the machine cabin, he even missed several times, and several large handfuls of straw were rotated rapidly.
Rolling heart was brought into the warehouse, and Yu Yinghong had to clear it out and let Fang Rui fight again.
Lao Bian is so sweaty, it turns out that this thing looks easy but is really difficult to do.
Ten minutes later, Lao Bian was replaced out of breath and Zheng Zhiqing came on.
Zheng Zhiqing's physique was much stronger than Lao Bian's. He thought this would be a big deal, but after dozens of hands were knocked down, he still felt quite tired. The reason was that his skills were not in place. Fang Rui told him this.
Don't rush, you have to be familiar with the process...
Zheng Zhiqing played for twenty minutes, and Yang Zhicheng came on.
After beating for a while, the rice thresher was dragged forward across the empty field.
Lin Fangfang, who was delivering the rice straw, came off the field to take a rest, and Lao Bian was pulled up to replace him in frustration.
Just like this, taking turns to rest and take turns to fight, no one felt tired at all.
Only Fang Rui never stopped moving his hands and feet. He seemed to be a tireless machine. This made everyone admire Fang Rui even more, especially Zheng Zhiqing.
At this time, Yaya Nini, who had been diligently picking up rice ears, walked to the rice thresher. Each person held a small handful of rice ears and handed them to Fang Rui, who had just thrown away the straw and beat the straw. She looked up and was sweating a little.
Zhu's pink little face said proudly, "Little dad, we picked these up, you beat them clean."
Fang Rui took the ears of rice from the girl's hands, smiled and said encouragingly, "Yaya Nini did a great job, my little dad will reward you well when you get back."
Yaya Nini wiped her sweat with her sleeves and said yearningly, "What do you want to reward us, little daddy?"
Fang Rui asked, "What do you want?"
Yaya Nini licked her tongue and said, "We want to eat the delicious chicken drumsticks made by our little dad."
Fang Rui said, "Okay, my little dad will cook delicious chicken legs for you to eat in the evening. Now you go to Aunt Fangfang's place to have a rest. After you have rest, you can pick rice ears."
