The ears, tillering, and grouting of rice in the fields seemed to be a matter of a moment. Inadvertently, the rice ears were already drooping, and in late autumn.
The harvest will be about ten days later, and the village chief has already notified in advance so that all households in the village can prepare in advance.
Nowadays, young and strong people don’t go out easily. Even children who are running around on weekdays are detained at home. Whether they feed chickens or pigs, they should not cause trouble.
Fortunately, the weather has been good recently. The elderly farmer said that it would not rain for ten days and half a month. But that's it, but he didn't receive the grain in his own warehouse and felt uneasy.
In the past half month before the rice harvest, the water in the fields needs to be drained to ensure that the rice ears grow full and the yield can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, in the past few days, all households in the village have estimated the situation in their own fields and are ready to drain and dry the fields at any time.
So are the dealer.
Although Qin Manzhi has not been in the field for a long time, the jobs in the fields have not been wasted. She often runs into the fields for the past two months, and even Zhuang Keqing goes to the fields from time to time to time. After all, her fish are still raised inside, right?
"I think the drainage has been going on these days."
During the late meal, Qin Manzhi hugged Aman and fed rice soup, and told her about the things in the field with her daughter and son-in-law.
Zhuang Keqing received the lotus leaf cake handed over by Shen Ling with pickled vegetables and said, "Then you have to prepare for the harvest of fish earlier. You can't delay it. If you drain the water, you won't collect it in time. It's a pity that the fish will die in the field."
Shen Ling sat on the side and broke the cake and ate it silently. He didn't know much about the things in the field, so he didn't interrupt and just finished his own. Then he got up to take over Qin Manzhi's work and held Aman in his hand so that his mother-in-law could have a peaceful meal.
Aman is already half a year old. The little guy is white and tender, with black eyes that look like grapes. His little nose is straight and upright, and his mouth is tender and red. Compared with other little treasures in the village, I don’t know how cute it is. No one is not interested in seeing it.
At this time, Aman screamed, trying to climb onto the beautiful uncle's shoulder, grabbing his hands with his little hands, and the saliva wet a small piece of Shen Ling's chest.
"This little guy is very smart, so he recognizes Brother Ling. He knows his uncle is good." Qin Manzhi took a sip of the stewed bone soup with thick white and red dates, and looked at his son who was crawling around on his son-in-law with a smile. "Ke'er, don't you know that some time ago, the Wu family next door wanted to hug Aman, but he ignored it."
Zhuang Keqing looked at Shen Ling, who was trying hard to fight with the baby, and covered her mouth and laughed.
Why didn't she know? Aman is a face-controller at such a young age. He is so ugly that he can't get into his eyes. Not to mention hugging him, he won't even give you a face.
Qin Manzhi finished eating in a few bites. She hugged Aman, who was sticking to Shen Ling like an octopus, ignored the little guy's protest, and asked Shen Ling to eat more. She took the child to the yard for a walk.
Only Shen Ling and Zhuang Keqing were left in front of the square tables in the main hall.
The sun was short in autumn, and her family had something to do today and had to eat later. Although there was still a little light outside, Zhuang Keqing still took the oil lamp to light it.
"A Ling, you seem to be thinner and darker recently."
Zhuang Keqing supported her chin with her hands and looked at the boy opposite her in the warm and dim light of the oil lamp.
He was originally thin when he was in the Shen family. Now he has been raising it for several months and has no shortage of meat and eggs, but he has not seen any meat. Instead, his face has become darker and his skin has a light wheat color.
