"Hey, let's go get busy." Uncle Pig waved his hands and left the shabby little yard. Probably because business was good today, he happily hummed a tune that Lu Ziyuan didn't understand along the way.
Lu Ziyuan was in a good mood and carried a small amount of pork belly into the kitchen. It was too late to cook meat at noon, so she put the meat in the wooden cabinet in the kitchen, took a few mouthfuls of porridge, ate a sweet potato, and hurried away.
Went to deliver food to the wheat threshers.
"elder sister!"
"Cousin Aster!"
When the two younger ones saw Lu Ziwan coming all the way, they started standing on top of the tall wheat pile, shouting at her and waving their little hands.
"You two stood so high and were careful not to take a break. You are all covered in sweat." Lu Ziyuan was really at a loss for the two energetic children. The sun in the afternoon was almost like summer.
They are equally vicious, but these two people can withstand it.
"It's okay. The wheat is on the bottom. It won't hurt if you fall. These two have fallen so many times in the morning." Sister Lan took the rice from Lu Ziyuan's hand and smiled, "Aster
My cousin, it’s very hot when you come here. Come and sit over there to cool down. Don’t rush back in the afternoon. We can go back together after the wheat is threshed and have dinner later. It’s better than walking back and forth like this when it’s so hot.”
"Sister Lan is right. Sister Wan, let's play here in the afternoon. We have nothing to do at home anyway. Let's go back together after sunset," Lu Donglin said.
Lu Ziyuan nodded, "Okay." It was quite uncomfortable for her to walk around in such hot weather. Her whole body was covered in sweat and her skin was sticky, and her skin would tan. She took good care of her skin.
Lu Ziyuan was a little surprised to see the wheat threshing field. She had never seen how wheat was threshed until she was so old, and it seemed fun to see Lu Banxia and Sister He standing on the wheat pile. It was a pity that she was older.
If she were still as crazy as them, she would be laughed to death. It's a pity that she was too late to dress up after traveling through time.
After dinner, the adults continued to work. A few children sat in front of the wheat pile at home and watched, preventing others from stealing the wheat. There is no shortage of people who like to take advantage of the wheat in the countryside, so every family also threshed wheat.
Someone needs to watch the wheat pile.
The old and young people in the wheat field were reluctant to leave until sunset. Lu Ziyuan's family didn't have much land, and all the wheat at home was threshed. He Chunmei and others took the carts they borrowed earlier and kept them for their own use.
The wheat will be hauled home and put into the cellar. The rest will be hauled to the town tomorrow for three purposes. A small portion will be handed over to the government as this year's tax, and the majority will be taken to Hemi Store.
It is converted into rice as the family's ration for a year, and part of it needs to be directly converted into cash.
This dynasty is different from the history that Lu Ziyuan knows. In history, each party ate what they grew, but here there is a special rice shop to exchange rice with everyone for wheat. The emperor of this dynasty paid great attention to the people's food and clothing. Every year
A lot of money and manpower have been allocated to this aspect.
The group of people walked home with smiles accompanied by the sunset. Although it was a tiring day, everyone still had happy smiles on their faces when looking at the harvest of food.
When they arrived at the door, they met the aunt next door. They said hello and were about to enter the yard, but they were stopped by the aunt.
"Hey, I said Dongming's daughter-in-law, please wait." The aunt next door came up and said, "No one is at your house this afternoon. I see that Dongxing's daughter-in-law came into your yard again, probably to see that there is no one at your house.
She turned around and came out again, but I saw that when she came out, she still had something in her arms."
