Chen Miao was too tired to eat, so she could only drink water in small sips and ate two pieces of candy. She couldn't rest. The longer she stayed, the less she wanted to do anything.
When it gets dark, I still go home. Even if I am tired, I have to do this.
The chickens, ducks and geese were all lying down at the door, and they were really quite sensible.
After opening the door and feeding the animals, we went to the field again. In the field, we could use a flashlight to collect all the corn that was broken off today.
Although it is not tiring, after such a trip, I feel that I have reached my limit.
The corn is piled directly in the yard. There is still a third of it, which can be harvested early tomorrow.
I was too tired to move, but it was too uncomfortable not to take a shower, so I had no choice but to light a fire.
The next day I got up and let the chickens, ducks and geese go, but continued to break the corn.
It's okay to do this kind of work with a full stomach. I finished breaking all the corn at noon. Anyway, there is no one in the field now. I collected them all and went home.
I did nothing in the afternoon, just lying on the kang. I had to get up in the evening because there were still animals to feed.
I didn't shuck corn the next day. I couldn't do this job sitting down now. I thought I'd do it on my knees, but if I couldn't do it, I'd do it lying down.
The autumn harvest must have begun at home, otherwise Chen Jiang would not have been able to come over for three days.
After resting for a day, I still felt sore all over. I also knew that it was time to work. I closed the door and made a table directly, so that I could stand or sit on the bench. The height was just right.
I collected some corn and put it on the table so that I could peel the corn and throw it into the corn coop.
Sit down when you feel tired from standing, and stand up when you feel tired from sitting.
She wondered if she had unlocked a new function in space? With a smile on her face, she was actually embarrassing the time-traveling woman, right?
I only peeled half of it all day long. But it's fine, as long as I don't tire myself out.
The next day continued. Until evening, all the corn was wrapped and placed in the corn coop.
Shelling corn was quite tiring, but I still went to the field with a pickaxe the next day. The corn stalks still had to be put down, and the donkeys had to eat fodder in the winter, and they also had to light a fire.
I met Li Wenquan before I got to the field.
"Comrade Chen, what are you doing?" From a distance, I saw a woman with a big belly. When I got closer, the belly became even more obvious. It was really too big.
"Comrade Li, are you back?"
"Yeah? What is this?"
"The corn has been broken off. The corn stalks are still in the ground and must be taken back, and the ground must be cultivated."
Li Wenquan looked at her and said, "Comrade Chen, I'm going to do it. You must be careful with the baby because you have such a big belly."
"Then why are you embarrassed? I don't want to trouble Comrade Li." Chen Miao said with a smile.
If you can't do it yourself, do it slowly and don't be in a hurry.
Li Wenquan looked at her back, turned around and ran away. Shen Wufu looked at the person running over and said, "What's wrong?"
"Village chief, do you have a pickaxe at home?"
"Yes? What's wrong?"
"Then what? I just saw Comrade Chen Miaochen going to dig corn stalks in the field with a full stomach. I wanted to help, but was refused. Her man is outside defending the country. Since I am in the village, of course I have to help."
Shen Wufu nodded, went home and took out two small pickaxes, "I'll go with you. The two of us can dig it out in a day."
The two of them quickly arrived at the field. Shen Wufu looked at the many radishes and cabbages in the field and felt that this girl could live a better life by herself.
Neither of them spoke, just working behind the scenes.
Chen Miao heard the noise and looked at the two people working behind him. This time he did not refuse.
She was not able to work quickly. She had to use her arms and waist to peel the corn stalks. She was afraid that too much movement would be harmful to the baby in her belly.
Shen Wufu caught up with Chen Miao after a while, "You go back, you can finish digging this corn stalks in one day, don't come to the fields, wait until after autumn and find two people to pull the corn stalks for you, and put them on the ground." Good things can be done quickly if you keep them in there."
Chen Miao didn't dare to show off, "Thank you Uncle Wu and Comrade Li."
She walked back with a small pickaxe, and thought for a while that if others were working for her, she might as well take care of the food at noon.
Everyone knows that she has grown wheat, so it would make sense to make pancakes with an egg in them and some green onions.
When I got home, I started cooking without rest. I couldn't bear to feed them the eggs laid by the chickens at home, and the same thing happened in the space. They couldn't eat anything, since they were all eggs anyway.
After preparing lunch, she quickly went to the fields with a jar of water. In fact, she couldn't move any faster even if she wanted to.
When Chen Miao arrived at the field, she had to sigh that she still needed a man at home. She had already put down half of the corn stalks while cooking.
"Fifth Uncle, Comrade Li is here for dinner." Chen Miao shouted from the ground.
Shen Wufu sighed, but still called Li Wenquan over.
"Uncle Wu, I've brought the rice and water. You guys can rest and do your work." He put down the basket and left.
Six large pancakes were delivered, as well as a handful of peeled and washed green onions.
Li Wenquan ate the pancakes, which actually contained eggs, and became more and more appreciative of Chen Miao. He was really a sweetheart.
After eating, the two of them continued to work without resting. It was not dark yet, and the corn stalks were all laid down.
Chen Miao looked at it, wondering how much effort and time this had saved him. If he had to do it all by himself, he would probably be able to dig it all out before he was born.
"Uncle Wu, Comrade Li, thank you so much."
"Why are you so polite? Hurry up and go back with the basket on your back."
Now Chen Miao was completely relaxed, and there was still a piece of sweet potato in the field. Chen Jiang was right, wait until the beginning of winter to remove the sweet potato.
Now I feel relaxed, my autumn is almost over.
Li Wenquan came over again the next day, looked at the corn husks and bean straw piled outside, and thought that he was really capable.
Chen Miao heard Li Wenquan's voice in the cotton field and agreed to come out.
"Comrade Li, what's the matter?"
"Comrade Chen, I just came here to ask you if you have any other work. Your husband is out protecting the family and the country, and I am here. Of course I will help you. This is my duty."
Chen Miao just smiled after hearing him explain all his responsibilities. "Thank you, Comrade Li. Now there is only corn stalks left in the field that have not been pulled back."
Li Wenquan nodded, "Okay, I'll tie them into bundles today, pull them back tomorrow, and stick them on the outside of the wall, right?"
Chen Miao nodded and waited until it was done before returning to the woodshed.
After Li Wenquan left, Chen Miao continued to work, thinking that he still had to go to town to play cotton and fry cottonseed oil.
In the morning, the cotton peaches have been picked for the second time. Taking advantage of the good weather, I hurriedly dried them in the sun.
You have to move forward with any work. If you give birth to a child, you must have a good confinement period and not let anything go wrong.
