Chen Miao listened to the four and a half young men talking in the room, thinking that the money was really not wasted.
They came out to clean up the guy when they finished eating and went to dry the wheat. It should have been Chen Jiang who did it, the guy had already cleaned up.
Four and a half young men are really capable. When she woke up, she was already threshing wheat outside the yard.
Chen Miao looked at the mats on the ground and thought that she needed this too. Even waving the sticks in their hands, it felt really effortless.
"Third sister, find two bags and pack the wheat grains tonight. Then we will dry them in the morning."
Chen Miao obediently went in and took out two sacks. The sacks were quite good.
Seeing them working so hard, Chen Miao went in to cook. She didn't know how to make vegetable pastries, but she could mix vegetables into cornmeal. She had to let them eat at night, otherwise she would feel bad.
This time I put some dried shrimps in it and paired it with leeks, and the taste was immediately different.
When the rice was cooked, Chen Miao asked Chen Jiang and the others to eat, this time directly in the yard. She put the chickens, ducks and geese in. Now they have divided their nests.
It's also nice to be able to eat all you want to eat pancakes at night. The wages were prepared for them in advance, and Chen Jiang gave them three points.
They are indeed good at work, and they even covered the wheat straw in the yard with mats.
The next day Chen Jiang came over very early in the morning and said, "Third sister, Zhuzi Erlei and the others will come over soon. They said they don't need to pay and they will help you with your work."
"You don't need to pay me to take care of the food. I'll make the dumplings."
"Third sister, please put less oil and add more pancakes."
Chen Miao nodded, "I understand."
When someone works for me, nothing can be too bad.
Chen Jiang began to prepare for work, while Chen Miao cut leeks and pulled cabbage.
After a while, the three and a half young men from yesterday all arrived and beat the wheat with a stick. They would definitely not be able to beat it clean, but Chen Miao didn't worry. Chen Jiang was there.
I'm going to fall asleep soon, and the radish and the mustard that fall on my head will be planted together. If Chen Jiang is free tomorrow, let them plow the ground with a donkey.
After making a large bowl of noodles, I started making dumplings when they were all ready.
Er Lei swallowed hard when he saw the rice cooked by Chen Miao.
"My third sister made dumplings for us to eat, and you three did a good job."
"Aren't we doing a good job like this?" Dongsheng said exaggeratedly.
"Work hard. My third sister said before that she wants to plant radishes and cabbages in the wheat field. Can you work with me early tomorrow morning? My third sister is pregnant with her nephew. I'm afraid she won't be able to work."
"Okay, it's okay. I'll go find you in the fields tomorrow morning," Zhuzi said.
In the morning, I finished threshing the wheat for the first time. "I see that the wheat yield is not low, more than 200 kilograms, right?"
"It should be there. It can weigh twenty or thirty kilograms after two attempts."
Chen Miao had already started cooking dumplings, and she called them to prepare for dinner.
Chen Jiang finished feeding the little donkey before going to wash his face. The work of threshing wheat is really not a good thing. The wheat awns are very uncomfortable on the body. The sun is too strong outside, so Chen Jiang directly puts the table in the woodshed, which is spacious and cool.
Some.
The dumplings were brought to the table, and Chen Jiang also brought the corn tortillas to the table.
"You three all eat dumplings. My third sister said you won't eat pancakes until you have enough."
The young men were very good at eating. They ate all the dumplings. Each of them even ate a pancake.
I usually don’t have such good food at home, so I eat too much without realizing it.
After helping to clean up, the four boys went to the river to take a bath. After having enough fun, they came back and continued working.
By the time it got dark, the wheat straw had been piled outside in a big pile, and it looked quite solid.
"Third sister, let's go dig the fields tomorrow morning."
Chen Miao is quite heartwarming, but Chen Jiang is a careful kid who still remembers what he said.
I really don’t have to do any more work. I was still thinking about how tiring it would be, but I didn’t expect that my brother had already arranged it.
The next day Chen Jiang came over to drive his car and plowed the land. Then he could plant whatever he wanted.
There must have been no food for so many people. Chen Miao made pancakes at home with leeks and dried shrimps in them. They tasted really good.
Once cooked, fill a jar with water and carry the cakes to the fields.
"Chen Miao, what are you doing? I see Chen Jiang and Zhu Zhu are working for you." Liu Laosan's wife next door stopped her.
"Third Aunt, I'll deliver the food."
As for what she was curious about, I didn't care.
"Chen Miao, it's good to have someone to help you with the work."
"Third Aunt, I have a baby in my belly, Chen Jiang is afraid that I will be exhausted."
"pregnant?"
Chen Miao nodded, she couldn't hide this, and there was no need to hide it.
"That's a great thing. It also leaves a legacy for the Shen family."
Chen Miao didn't like to hear it, but there was no need for common knowledge. In fact, there should be no malice. It's just that the words he said didn't sound good.
"Third Aunt, I'll deliver the food."
"Go, go. If you have the strength to live in the future, if Chen Jiang and the others are not around, just call me."
"Well, I won't be bothering my third aunt in the future."
When they arrived at the fields, they were almost finished working. "Have a rest for a while. I brought you food. You didn't eat it in the morning, right?"
Chen Jiang also knew that the third sister was unwilling to owe favors, so he also asked Zhu Zhu to rest for a while.
"Third sister, have you brought any seeds?"
"I brought it with me. My fifth aunt gave me some cabbage, radish and mustard greens."
"Then we'll plant it soon."
"Okay, plant as much as you can."
Zhu Zhu was very embarrassed, so he just ate the pancake and didn't say anything.
Chen Miao put down the seeds and said, "We will have lunch at home."
Zhuzi shook his head hastily, "Third sister, no need. The planting will be finished in a moment." Why do you have the nerve to always eat at other people's homes?
Chen Miao didn't try to persuade her, and thought about asking Chen Jiang to deliver one liter of wheat to the other three families in the afternoon, and also bring home two liters, but no more.
After she returned home, she thought that she would go up to the mountain when they came back to see if there were any weeds to pull. She would not go to the mountain to farm next year. After having children, she would be too busy with the three acres of land.
After tidying up the vegetable garden again, Chen Jiang and the others came back around ten o'clock in the morning. Seeing their faces flushed from the sun, they said, "Chen Jiang, this is wheat for the Zhuzi family. That's what I mean.
Just accept it and you can send it to Erlei and Dongsheng's family."
One liter contains about three kilograms of wheat, which is actually quite a lot. It is really just a matter of mood.
"Third sister, I don't want it, you paid me for it."
"Take it." Chen Miao was actually afraid that the adults in the family would think that she was fooling the children. Giving a little bit would also make people feel more balanced.
Chen Jiang took the bag directly and called Zhu Zhu to leave.
Chen Miao fed the donkey. After a while, Chen Jiang came back and went to deliver wheat to the other two families.
"You take these two liters home."
Chen Jiang did not refuse. The second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law in the province always said sarcastic words.
