"By the way, parents, when will our corn be harvested?" Li Ke asked.
"Your father and I still have Xingyi, and your second brother is in charge of our three land. When the autumn harvest is over, your second brother will send the money back, and Xingyi's share will be given directly to you when the time comes," the mother-in-law said.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask when it will be collected so that I can go to work." Li Ke said.
"Don't be embarrassed, I should have given it to you in the first place. Come over and eat." My mother-in-law greeted me.
Li Ke ate a big bowl of fried noodles that her mother-in-law made tonight.
After eating, I washed the dishes and then went home and started cooking.
After catching up on some sleep this morning and taking another nap in the afternoon, Li Ke felt that he finally had some rest.
After humming a little tune, I finished cooking my things, took a shower, tidied up, and went to bed.
Li Ke woke up early the next morning. After relaxing for a while, he went to the main room to check the time. It was 5:25.
Li Ke quickly went to wash up, weigh and bag the things he was going to sell today.
Then I looked at the time. It was ten minutes to six o'clock and five to fifty.
Li Ke went to the kitchen and ordered four large bowls of noodles, topped with husband and wife lung slices and eggs.
As soon as he was done, he heard a knock on the door, and Li Ke quickly went to open the door.
The sky was already slightly bright, and three heads of yellow hair fluttered in the morning light, followed by Wang Gang, who had short black hair.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to sell things well?" Li Ke asked him.
"Sister, I'm here to help. The shoe factory doesn't get off work until twelve o'clock, so I can go there in time at eleven o'clock," Wang Gang said.
"Come here and eat some noodles. Once you're full, you can start working." Li Ke greeted them.
Li Ke let the four of them eat first, and then drank another bowl for himself.
The four of them finished eating quickly and set off.
This time Wang Gang was driving, and Li Ke and the three Huang Mao stood in the back compartment, enjoying the feeling of being blown away by the wind.
Seeing the three young men standing next to him in the car, still fighting and making trouble, Li Ke suddenly felt that being a late-blooming middle school boy was quite happy and carefree.
Little did they know that the middle school boy also had his own sorrows. He was about to say goodbye to his beloved Huang Mao this afternoon, and he still felt a little sad.
Facing the breeze and rising sun, we soon arrived at the fields.
As soon as Li Ke got out of the car, he felt something was wrong. There seemed to be someone in the field.
There were several rows of corn stalks with no corn left on them.
Wang Cuilian is not so diligent, coming to harvest corn so early.
Li Ke motioned to the four of them to wait at the edge of the field for a while, and then he went inside to see the situation.
After walking a few steps, I saw Erya and Sanya leaning forward carefully to catch grasshoppers.
There is a saying that grasshoppers after autumn cannot jump around for more than a few days.
In the autumn morning, the temperature was not high and the grasshoppers moved slowly. Erya swooped down and held the grasshopper in the palm of his hand.
"Er-ya-san-ya, where's mom?" Li Ke asked.
"Break the corn inside." Erya answered.
The second sister came so early, but how did the second sister know where her land was?
"Are grandma and grandpa here too?" Li Ke asked next.
"Here too, my sister is here too, we are all here." Sanya replied.
Li Ke walked in and saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and second sister breaking corn in the field. There was even a small pile of corn at Da Ya's feet.
"Mom, Dad, and second sister, why did you come so early and didn't say anything to me?" Li Ke said touchedly.
"Xingyi is not at home, of course we have to come to help." said the mother-in-law.
Chen Shulan smiled and agreed.
The father-in-law was still immersed in breaking the corn, without looking up.
Li Ke called the four people waiting outside to come over and transport the broken corn to the tricycle first.
Li Ke himself had six acres of land, and eight people worked on it together, and it was all finished in no time.
After finishing, the troops were divided into two groups. The three yellow-haired Wang Gang and Li Ke went to the county to sell corn, while the father-in-law, mother-in-law and second sister took their three children home.
When he arrived at the county, Li Ke said he wanted to hire some people to shell the corn, but they refused to let him do it.
So they just unloaded the corn, and the five people squatted on the ground and started peeling the corn.
At half past eleven, Wang Gang left first.
It was already past one o'clock when they were all peeled off, and Li Ke felt that he could no longer feel his fingers.
Fortunately, after peeling, there is a machine that throws the corn cobs in and the corn kernels come out.
Dry corn costs 85 cents per catty, and wet corn costs 68 cents per catty.
Li Ke was too lazy to take it home to dry, so he sold it directly for the price of wet corn.
A total of 1,156 jins were sold for 786 yuan and a dime.
It was already past two o'clock when Li Ke got the money. He would first give the three yellow-haired men their wages, which was fifty per person as agreed in advance.
Then he invited the three of them to have a meal.
I told them what they needed to buy and rushed them to get their hair dyed and cut.
After sending away three yellow hairs, Li Ke went to the market and bought two catties of ribs, one catty of pork, and two catties of chicken cakes.
One person carried it and started walking home.
Get up early in the morning to dig in the corn field, break the corn, and then shell the corn to sell the corn.
He kept walking all day long, and when he finally got some free time, Li Ke felt sore all over his body, and his neck and face were also itchy from the corn leaves.
After finally reaching home, Li Ke sent his things to his mother-in-law's house.
I heard from my mother-in-law that the neighbor said that Wang Cuilian came to ask her to break the corn in the morning, but there was no one at home, so she stood at the door and cursed.
Then he went to the fields by himself. Not long after he went there, he came back and cursed me again.
Since her scolding was really unpleasant, her mother-in-law drove her away with a broom.
Not knowing if she would come again, her mother-in-law asked Li Ke to lock the door.
Li Ke thought that she was jumping up and down in anger and helpless, and he felt happy, but it was a pity that he didn't see her angry look with his own eyes.
He was sweating all over today. Li Ke went home and took a shower first, then washed his clothes and lay on the bed to catch up on his sleep.
Even in her sleep, she couldn't escape Wang Cuilian's magical voice, "Get up quickly and harvest the corn, get up quickly and harvest the corn, get up quickly and harvest the corn."
Li Ke was so annoyed that he wanted to slap her.
Before the slap was given, Li Ke woke up first.
It turned out that it was not a dream, someone was really calling her to get up and harvest corn.
Li Ke angrily got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Wang Cuilian's annoying old face again.
"You damn girl, you agreed to go to the fields to break corn today, where did you go?" Wang Cuilian looked angry.
"I went to the county for a prenatal check-up." Li Ke said lazily.
Wang Cuilian felt guilty for a moment, "What did the doctor say?"
"Let me take care of you and don't do heavy work." Li Ke said.
There is no fart in your stomach, what kind of prenatal check-up did you do?
Could it be that she got pregnant after getting married? How could she detect it in such a short period of time?
Wang Cuilian was full of questions but she couldn't ask them. She could only pick and choose what she could ask.
"The corn in our field was stolen, was it you?"
"Mom, why are you so slanderous? I had a stomachache last night and went to the County People's Hospital early this morning." Li Ke said aggrievedly.
"Don't let me catch the bad guy who dares to come to my mother's field to steal corn, and I'll beat him to death." Wang Cuilian gritted her teeth.
"Mom, think carefully, have you offended anyone recently?" Li Ke guided her.
Wang Cuilian began to think about how she quarreled with Aunt Li at noon yesterday, cursed with Widow Zhao at night, and had a few quarrels with Grandma Liu the day before yesterday.
This offends too many people, where do you want to go?
Wang Cuilian could only skip this issue for now, "Come home with me and shell the corn."
"Hey Mom, my stomach hurts so much, can you take me to the hospital?" Li Ke suddenly shouted, holding his stomach.
