There are people everywhere in the autumn harvest fields. Everyone is waving a sickle and "swishing, swishing, swishing..." without raising their head to grab the autumn.
Just like spring plowing, pay attention to "quickness". Otherwise, the food will be spoiled by sparrows. Sorghum, millet, rice, etc. are all the objects they care about. Even making a scarecrow will not help.
However, there is no need to worry about the village tax and food this year. It can be reduced by half, which can save a lot of money and help you have a good year.
Cheng Xue looked at Bai Zhi trying her best to chase Li Tian and Li Heng, nodded with a smile and said:
"Although your sister is not old, she is very sensible. You four brothers and sisters are also very good. It shows that your parents have put a lot of effort into you."
Yu Niang didn't come with her. The part-time workers needed to eat at noon, so she had to hurry up. According to Cheng Xue, Bai Shao didn't have to follow her, and she could help her at home, which was just right. But she didn't agree with anything they said, so she couldn't shirk it.
Can be taken with you.
"What Madam said is absolutely true. Our parents have taught us brothers and sisters a lot, but we are just dull and have only scratched the surface. We need to continue to improve."
Bai Shao seemed to be imitating the humility of his parents, but he obviously didn't learn it well enough. He looked at the head but not the bottom. Cheng Xue couldn't help laughing, "Pfft——" and chuckled. When Bai Shao reacted, his face suddenly turned red.
.
I wanted to make love, but it was a dead end, so I could only apologize in embarrassment and call out "Madam" like a baby.
They have been here for a few days, and they all know what the host is like. They are kind-hearted, not too particular, and have no airs. Therefore, her affectionate and coquettish behavior will not bore the host, and they are very relieved.
Cheng Xue said "Okay" fondly and stopped teasing her.
Sixteen, to be honest, it’s the age of the couple, but with their status, they are destined to get married very late, and the children they have will also be slaves.
She has not thought about buying anyone in the short term. It seems that Tiandong and Baishao will have to be delayed for a few years.
"Madam, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, I would like to join my sister to tape up the windows and cracks in our home."
"Okay, I'll go back when I'm done. Tangtang doesn't need anyone around her lately."
Seeing her misunderstanding, Bai Shao shook her head and explained:
"Madam, it's the window and window gap of our house. The house on the west side of the village is not in a hurry, just wait a few days."
Cheng Xue smiled and nodded——
"After dinner and making some starch, let's use the afternoon to cover the windows of all the houses, including the houses where vegetables are grown in winter."
"No need, Madam..."
"Let's do it together, I happen to be doing some exercise too." Cheng Xue interrupted her.
It’s true that you can’t do heavy work, but it’s necessary to move appropriately, not to mention cutting paper and plastering, which won’t make you tired.
Far away, I saw Li Heng and Yan Yixin, two people wearing straw hats and waving sickles, working in the fields.
Bai Zhi chased after the siblings, and when she saw Li Tian jump down directly, Bai Shao gasped.
"It's okay. Children born in a farm can work. Don't blame Bai Zhi, Tiantian is used to it."
He has seen several white peony scolding Gastrodia elata and Angelica dahurica, which are obviously different from Li Yue. She looks like an eldest sister, majestic and intimidating. As the eldest brother, Tiandong is easy to keep silent, but he can see that the three siblings
They are all afraid of Big Brother.
Bai Shao responded "yes" and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her sister hugging Li Huai. Before she could fully relax, she saw the eldest young master taking the second young master over.
My younger sister Bai Zhi wanted to stop her, but Li Heng looked at her and stopped her hand in a hurry. It was clear that Bai Zhi was three years older than the eldest young master, but the look in his eyes just now...
Not to mention that my sister was scared, she was also a little shocked.
"Madam, the second young master is young, can he really go to the ground?"
"It's okay, Bai Zhi is following me, isn't he? Tiantian was also working in the fields when he was his age. There wasn't much he could do at that time, just laying out sorghum stalks and stuff like that."
Bai Shao grew up in Zhuangzi, and she knew what the children in the surrounding villages were like, but after all, he was the daughter of a successful Juren family. Young master, would he lose his status by going to the fields in such an unscrupulous way?
"Sizhu's family, are you busy?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, let's grab Brother Xin's thirty acres of land while my eldest brother is resting." Guo Sizhu's wife replied.
She was breastfeeding but was afraid of stretching, so she couldn't do heavy work, so she tied sorghum in the field.
Thirty acres of sorghum are grown entirely on the land. We have contacted the winery and will send a truck to pick it up after drying. The price is very reasonable.
When the little boy in the basket heard his mother's voice, he immediately "squeaked" unhappily.
Cheng Xue touched her upper hand and found that she didn’t urinate or urinate.
"Are you hungry?"
"No, I just finished feeding him, and I'm so arrogant that I want someone to hold him and coax him to sleep." There was a bit of helplessness in his words.
Of course, little babies don’t understand anything and are not unreasonable. After all, their mothers used to coax them to sleep.
Cheng Xue reached out and picked up the child, coaxing her and saying:
"Just be busy and I'll bring it to you when you fall asleep."
"No need, sister-in-law, I..."
"Be obedient and work hard. Don't worry about the child." After Cheng Xue said that, she hugged the child and left without giving her a chance to refuse.
After walking a certain distance, Bai Shao naturally took it, helped him find a comfortable position in her arms, and patted him gently.
With such skill, it can be seen that she brought up Angelica dahurica and Gastrodia elata.
When I look at her, I think of Li Yue. It’s not easy for the eldest daughter!
In the field, Li Huai was laying out sorghum stalks just like Li Tian did. They were dried in the sun and bundled to be used as firewood in the winter.
Bai Zhi can do farm work, dig peanuts, dig sweet potatoes, pick sorghum heads, etc., she can do anything. But because she is worried about Li Huai, she has to take a look from time to time, so the progress is a bit slow.
"Bai Zhi, don't look at him. Work quickly. These two pieces of land are collected by the elder brother and me together. We have to help them." Li Tian said while working.
Wash the sorghum heads, carefully put them into the basket, and carry them to the field.
When Li Zhong saw it was the second young lady, he shouted "Ouch" and started to get up, but she stopped him with a voice.
"Uncle Zhong, don't be rude. Before your family came here, my mother, my sister, my brother, and I did all this work. If you are used to it, you won't be tired. Uncle Zhong hurry up and tie the sorghum.
Take it to the village to dry, otherwise the land will be occupied."
She said the last sentence in a very low voice, and Li Zhong smiled and took the basket. When he looked up again, Li Tian had already carried an empty basket and put it into the ground again.
At first glance, it looks like he works a lot. He walks very steadily along the ditch and won't fall down at all.
Cheng Xue and the others walked up to them, and Li Zhong quickly stood up and saluted——
"Madam is here."
"How's it going? Is everything going well?"
"Back to Madam, everything went well."
Cheng Xue nodded when she heard the answer. Although he hasn't gone to other places to look, his "conservatism" and "smoothness" in his words these past few days should be surprising.
I saw Li Tian coming back with an earthen basket. There were five sorghum heads in the basket. No matter how hard he worked, his strength was limited, so this was not bad.
"Mom, Si Dan is laying sorghum stalks over there. I arranged it."
Looking at her little daughter who was asking for credit, Cheng Xue smiled and took off the sticky things on her head and gently touched her little face...
