Chapter 178: Autumn Harvest

Shuangxi looked at Su Yu hesitantly. She really wanted to take this job, but if this happened, she would have to interact with Su Yu more, which she was not willing to do.

Su Yu seemed to understand Shuangxi's concerns and said with a smile: "Xier, are you afraid of getting along with me?"

After hearing Su Yu's words, Shuangxi smiled and said, "Master Su, you are overthinking." She would not admit that getting along with him was stressful.

Su Yu looked at the little woman in front of her with gleaming eyes, curled her lips and said with a smile: "Xi'er, if you can really grow vegetables in winter, you will certainly not be short of this money."

When Shuangxi heard what Su Yu said, he breathed a sigh of relief, not because he was greedy for the money, but because of this matter. As long as money was mentioned, it meant that the relationship between the two was one of employment and employment.

, it’s very formal, so you don’t have to worry about the messy emotional factors involved.

Speaking of Su Yu, one of the reasons why he came to Shuangxi today was naturally because he suddenly thought of Shuangxi, as if there was a burning fire in his heart, urging him to see this little woman as soon as possible. Another reason was that he wanted to plant off-season vegetables.

, is also true.

The spinach he accidentally ate last winter was something he couldn't forget. If he could grow other off-season vegetables, it would be of great help to his business.

Shuangxi pondered for a while, comforting himself in his heart, trying hard to avoid what happened after the drunken night, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I can indeed grow vegetables in winter, but the cost is really high...

…”

Although Su Yu initially guessed that Shuang Xi would find a solution, when Shuang Xi really said it seriously, his eyes lit up! This was the woman Su Yu fell in love with!

Su Yu immediately said: "The money matter is naturally not a problem. Xi'er should think about other matters carefully before talking to me."

Su Yu was naturally very happy after seeing Double Happiness and finding out how to grow vegetables in winter. She hurried back to the Su Mansion overnight with satisfaction.

When he left, he wanted to take Shuangxi with him, but how could Shuangxi allow himself to make a second mistake? He refused immediately. He only said that he would visit with Shen Ziyan another day.

After rising from the pond, the autumn mood became stronger.

Around the Shen family's fence, the wild chrysanthemums planted in spring have begun to bloom at this time, and it seems that they will bloom in a short time.

The wheat in Qingshi Village has been cut and placed in a wheat field in the village to dry. This wheat field is also called a wheat field. It is a flat area about the size of a playground and is pressed with stone rollers by the villagers.

Smooth and solid.

When the harvest season comes, the villagers thresh the crops here.

The use of the wheat field must be reported to the village chief. There are regulations on how many days each family can use it. Of course, when it rains, there can be some flexibility.

The Shen family's rice harvest is later than that of other families, and they don't compete with others for the right to use the wheat field. They wait until everyone has used it, and it's not too late to use it in their own family.

The rice fields of the Shen family were already covered with heavy ears of rice. Shuangxi looked at the bent rice in front of him. His heart was filled with the joy of harvest. Smelling the fragrance of the grass blowing in the breeze, Shuangxi felt that the sky was high and the clouds were vast.

The days will get better and better!

The only thing that worries the Shen family is Shen Bingxian's illness.

Shuangxi asked Mo Xiao again and again, but Mo Xiao just frowned and said that he had tried his best, but he had already informed his master, and he was afraid that the master would come soon.

This rekindled hope in the hearts of the Shen family. Mo Xiao's medical skills were already so high, so his master's medical skills must be even more superb! He might really be able to cure Shen Bingxian's illness!

Shuangxi and Shen Ziyan worked together to drain some of the water in the rice fields. During the harvest time, there should not be too much water as it would easily cause the rice to fall over.

The fish and shrimps in the rice field have grown to quite a size by now. The fish and shrimps that occasionally swim on the water surface look very pleasing to the eye.

After another half month, the rice grains were completely full, and the whole family went to work to start harvesting.

There are not many fields, so harvesting rice is much easier than planting rice. However, in just two days, the rice has been dried in the field, and the next step is to remove the fish and shrimp in the field.

Because the water in the rice fields was shallow, after the water was released and the rice was cut, there was only mud soup left. The Shen brothers and Quanzi could only touch around in the water with their hands to find fish and shrimps.

Looking at the fish and shrimps one after another, Shuangxi stood on the ridge of the field, wishing she could go down to catch fish, but the Shen brothers said the water was cold and refused to let her go down, so she had to give up.

After the fish came out this time, the Shen family and the Yun family, who had already caught a lot of fish when raising the pond, found it difficult to keep them themselves, so they had to transport them to the market to sell.

Fortunately, not every village has a pond. Most families in Qingshi Village keep the fish for themselves, and there are not many people selling fish at this time.

Shuangxi wore a tender pink dress, set up a stall in the market, and shouted: "Fish is on sale, fish is on sale, fresh fish!"

Shen Ziyan secretly bought the clothes for Shuangxi. Although they were not made of the best material, Shuangxi wore them warmly.

This pink dress has a ruffled gown with a vest on the top and a pleated skirt on the bottom. When worn on Shuangxi, it makes Shuangxi more graceful and graceful. It is really beautiful.

Since there is still rice to deal with at home, the only way to sell fish is between Shuangxi and Shen Yan.

Shen Yan is a big ice cube and can do just fine as a coolie, but Shuangxi doesn't expect this guy to be able to sell anything.

"Hey, have you heard..." A small tobacco vendor said to a basket vendor next to him.

These two people were both in their thirties and had ordinary looks. Naturally, these two people did not attract Shuangxi's attention.

"What did you hear?" the basket seller asked curiously. The tobacco seller had already aroused his curiosity.

"Anqing State and Beimo are fighting!" the tobacco vendor said in shock.

Shuangxi, who was arranging her own stall, suddenly stopped her hands and heard that she rarely heard about things in other countries in the world.

Now that I heard it, I was also curious in my heart, but the next words of these two people made Shuangxi break into a cold sweat.

"What? There's a fight? Then there's going to be conscription again!" The bamboo basket seller looked shocked, and then said in disbelief: "Brother, don't try to deceive me. This doesn't mean fighting."

They started fighting as soon as they got up!"

The tobacco seller smiled proudly at this time: "Don't believe it, my cousin came back from the capital a few days ago. He is the servant of a high official. This is what he said. The source is reliable."

The tobacco seller paused for a moment, looked at the flustered expression of the bamboo basket seller with satisfaction, and said as if he was not worried: "Fortunately, I have an old woman above me, a baby waiting to be fed, and I am the only male in the family. Even if you recruit soldiers, you won’t be able to win!”

"Oh, what can we do? I have many brothers in my family, and my son is already fifteen years old. Someone in the family must be expropriated!" The bamboo basket seller was a little panicked. He knew the tobacco seller, although he I usually like to brag a bit, but I usually don’t say it in vain. If you say this, it will probably become true!

Not to mention the bamboo basket vendor, let’s talk about Double Happiness. I was shocked when I heard the conversation between these two people! If this is true...

Shuangxi glanced at Shen Yan. With so many brothers in the Shen family, both old and young, they would inevitably become the first choice for recruitment... This is no longer a peaceful era with waving red flags. In ancient times, war meant the loss of life. If the Shen family really Some people have been drafted, but what should we do?

Shen Yan also heard the words of the two vendors, and felt Shuangxi's worry. He softened his tone and said softly to Shuangxi: "Xi'er, don't worry, I'm afraid it's not true."

Shuangxi was of course willing to believe that this matter was not true, but for some reason, she always felt palpitated, feeling that this matter might not be groundless.

But Shuangxi could only keep this matter in his heart for the time being.

Two more days passed, and no one seemed to mention the conscription in the village. Shuangxi gradually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he might have really thought too much. He cursed in his heart that he was too worried about that. The vendor's unfounded words actually made me worry for so long.

After the rice is dried, it is threshed.

The Shen family did not have cows, but fortunately Mrs. Zhou's family had cows. Shuangxi had no choice but to borrow them shamelessly. Of course, she couldn't use other people's things in vain, so she packed a bag of brown sugar and a piece of bacon and went. Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhou's wife is a cheerful person. When she heard that Shuangxi wanted to use cows, she smiled cheerfully and said, "If my sister wants to use cows, just come and get them. Do you need to bring anything else?"

"Sister Xiuxiu, I'm afraid you won't lend me this cow if I don't bring the gift!" Shuangxi said with a teasing smile.

The Lady of the Zhou family naturally knew that what Shuang Xi said was not what she meant, but what she was saying in amusement, so she cursed softly: "You little lady! You are so good at talking with your mouth! How dare you arrange my sister like this? This is awesome, I really don’t want to borrow it anymore!” He said, pretending to be angry.

Shuangxi quickly smiled and said: "Good sister..."

Seeing Shuangxi's aggrieved look, Mrs. Zhou's wife burst out laughing. In the end, she helped Shuangxi lead the cow out.

The cow carried the stone roller and pressed it over the rice. The chaff and the rice were separated. The remaining rice that stubbornly refused to be separated from the ears of the rice was placed in the middle of the ground by Shuangxi. Use a long stool and manually beat the rice ears on the stool, and all the stubborn rice will fall down.

The rice was harvested, dried in the sun, and put in bags. There were actually five bags of rice! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support. That’s my biggest motivation.)
