As long as you are not too tired, you still have to do some work. While pulling out the weeds, I was thinking about where to thresh the wheat. I didn't find that there was a wheat threshing field in the village. In fact, even if there was one, it might not be available now. After all, there is no wheat grown in the village.
The yield is too low, and the whole family is waiting to eat. Of course, we should choose the one with high yield.
On the way back, I met the village chief. "Uncle Wu, where should I go to thresh wheat?"
"The wheat field in the village is almost deserted. Besides, if you go to the wheat field alone, you have to watch it. You can take a look, or you can just stay in the yard."
Chen Miao was helpless. She didn't think of threshing wheat at first. The yard was full of vegetables. But it was okay to do it in the yard. You could harvest it yourself and do it slowly.
"By the way, your father is good at making wheat threshing rods. Now that it's okay, let him make two for you."
"Well, I understand."
I didn't go home. I usually spent this time eating. When I returned to my parents' house, the men were sitting in the yard to rest. They should have gone to work in the fields in the morning.
"Third sister?"
"Well, I'm coming to find dad."
Chen Dongsheng looked at his daughter and asked, "What's going on?"
"Dad, I want two sticks."
Chen Dongsheng also knew that his daughter planted wheat.
"Okay, once it's done, I'll ask Chen Jiang to send it to you."
"Well, Dad, please help me make two clay molds. I want to build a chicken coop and a barn for the little donkey."
Chen Dongsheng nodded, it was not a complicated task and could be done in a while.
"Dad, I'm back."
They didn't leave their daughters to eat. They all had the same idea. If a married daughter throws away water, no one's family will have much food.
Chen Miao returned home and started cleaning up. After feeding everyone with open mouths, she started eating by herself.
I want to let the ducks and geese out. The house is not far from the river, and the location of the house is quite good.
The next day I got up and released the chickens, ducks and geese, and drove them to the river. The ducks and geese all went into the water due to the natural instinct of animals, just waiting for the night to come and drove them home. It should take a few days for them to get familiar with each other.
Then they can go home on their own.
Seeing that there were a lot of aquatic plants in the river, I quickly went home to get a rake, stood by the river and pulled the aquatic plants to dry on the bank. They would also be food for chickens, ducks and geese in the winter.
It wasn't any urgent work, so he did it slowly.
Maybe I was really lucky. I actually pulled up a two-pound carp. Looking at its big belly, it must be laying eggs, right? Otherwise, it couldn't be in the aquatic plants.
She had a foreign fortune, but it was still spawning season, so she released the fish.
It’s not the Virgin or anything, it’s just that all animals are the same and pregnant women still need to be taken care of.
Stop tugging on the aquatic plants. After a while, the fish eggs should be attached to the aquatic plants.
It’s already June. I won’t raise pigs this year. I’ll just buy some meat during the Chinese New Year.
If you don’t want to go to the fields, just pick up the cotton on one side. For cotton, you need to cut off the useless branches. In fact, too many cotton bolls may not necessarily be a good thing.
"Third sister, third sister."
"Here." Chen Miao emerged from the ground and looked at the mold of soil embryo held in Chen Jiang's hand.
"So fast?"
"Well, dad also made a trowel and asked me to remove the soil embryo for you."
"Don't worry, wait until it rains."
"It won't dry even if it rains."
"Okay, I'll go with you. Chen Jiang, do you think it's okay if I buy it? You're old enough to work, and there's nothing to do now. If you just sell it to me, it's fine."
"Buy? That still costs money. We should take it off ourselves."
"When will it be enough? Besides, I'm tired of talking. Just go and tell your friends, I don't know how much it costs per piece."
"Third sister, do you really want to buy it?"
"Well, if possible, I would also like to build a wing. There is no place to store the food."
After finishing speaking, Chen Miao stopped and put food in the side room. If the little devils came to snatch it, there was nothing he could do. There was a cellar, so he could hide it if there was real danger.
"Chen Jiang, I want to dig a cellar so that I can hide the little devil if he comes."
"Third sister, doesn't your home have a cellar? Our cellar is quite big."
"Probably not. Shen Jianfeng didn't tell me either."
"Looking for it? It would be easier if I had it."
Chen Miao was here now and couldn't care less about work, so the two siblings went in and started looking.
Not to mention, there is actually an entrance to the cellar under the cabinet in the West House.
Open the lid and go down with the kerosene lamp. It's a bit damp inside, and everything must be there. And it's not small inside.
Now Chen Miao felt relieved and thought about moving to the West House by herself?
"Third sister, I'll ask Zhu Zhu and the others. They should all be willing to accept five pieces of soil for one copper coin."
"Okay. You can go ahead and tell me. This will save me some trouble."
At noon, we still put minced meat in the pancake, and today we also put a lot of wild vegetables in it, so it tastes delicious.
Chen Jiang, find your own little partner. There is not much work in the fields now, so you still have time to work.
"Chen Jiang, don't you have too little money?"
"If you don't like it, don't do it. If you only have one hundred pieces of soil and twenty copper coins, you can buy a lot of sugar melons."
"Chen Jiang, I will start taking off the soil embryo in the afternoon."
"Don't fool people. My third sister is pregnant. Otherwise, no one would have the money to buy a soil embryo. I can do it myself, and I'm just telling you. Otherwise, how many people would be willing to do it?"
Several young men ran home to get tools and discussed working together, which would make the work much faster.
Then tell the other five people that the third sister needs a lot of soil embryos anyway.
I have already told him to go back as soon as possible. In the afternoon, he will also have to remove the soil embryo.
When he got back, he started feeding the little donkey and helped clean out the donkey manure and pile it aside, which would be used as fertilizer in the future.
After the two siblings had eaten enough, "Third sister, you go to bed while I take off the bastards. They must have started to do it."
I woke up at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and then broke off the twigs of the cotton seedlings. It was almost dark before I drove the chickens, ducks and geese back.
Three days later, the cotton field was cleared, and she was ready to go up the mountain to see the two fields.
Anyway, if country people are diligent, it can be said that they never have an idle day.
The sweet potato seedlings have already covered the ground, so just pull out the weeds that emerge.
I did this work in the morning and didn't go down the mountain at noon. I found a big rock to lie on, it was warm and quite comfortable.
There are more wild vegetables in the sorghum field. After thinking about it, I couldn't use animals to remove the green grass, so I would use big pickaxes to carry the soil. The wind on the mountain would be stronger, and the saved sorghum stalks would fall, and then there would really be no production.
This work is really tiring, but I still have to do it even if I'm tired. Fortunately, I don't have to worry. If I can't do it in one day, I can finish it in three days.
The sorghum stalks are now taller than her, making it really inconvenient to work.
After working like this for three days, the sorghum field was cleaned up, and I didn't go to the field the next day.
