Chapter 63: autumn harvest

Views:

As the days passed, the weather gradually began to turn cold again, and the peasants with their heads turned to the loess and their backs to the sky finally ushered in the long-awaited autumn harvest.

Although Qi Yue's family didn't have much land, it still had five acres of land. It would take him a long time to collect it alone, so He Ling ignored his objections and went to the ground together. : Being blistered by the sickle again, Qi Yue felt distressed, but he couldn't control the other party's sudden stubborn temper, so he could only urge him to rest more when he was working.

"Xiang Gong has never done these unskilled things. I have been farming since I was a child. It is very fast to put away, and I am not tired at all!" When he asked He Ling to sit down and drink some water again, he did not agree, how could he Sitting there and watching Xianggong busy here alone.

Qi Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "I'm in better health than you, so it's fine to do this."

"I'm fine. You help me to recuperate every day, Xianggong, and I'm doing fine now!" He Ling pulled his hand down and held it in his hand, shaking it gently.

"Then if you feel tired, don't be brave enough to go to rest, you know?" Qi Yue took his hand and squeezed it, and asked again uneasy.

"Yeah!" He Ling nodded, agreeing simply. In fact, he has been feeling weak for the past two days, but it is not a big problem. If it is said that the husband must be worried and will not let him go to the ground again, he decided to hide it and endure it for a while.

"Brother Ling!"

The two were talking when they saw Xu Hua standing on the edge of the ground waving at them, holding a sickle, and when they turned to look at him, they went down to them.

"Why did you come here, the land was confiscated?" He Ling was a little surprised. At this time, he couldn't wait to have two more hands to work. Why did he still come to look for them

"Hey, the one acre of dry land in our family will be finished in two days. Besides, my father has also helped me this year. Anyway, I am idle, so I will help you!" Xu Hua thought that their family had five acres of land. The two of them were slow to do it, and Father Xu didn't need him to take care of him now, so he came over to have a look.

Hearing that their land had been collected, He Ling was not polite to him. Now that their friendship is getting deeper and deeper, they don't care about those vain heads.

There are more people, and they are still old-fashioned. The work is different. He quickly collected a large piece. He Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the two were not paying attention, he secretly rubbed his sore waist. , I don't know if I haven't worked for too long, and I haven't worked for a long time, but my back hurts. I was really spoiled by my husband!

They are still happy and easy to collect the land here, but the He family's side is miserable. In the past, their whole family was a labor force, so don't mention how fast they can collect the land. Now they are the only old couple left. It's easier said than done to finish these ten acres of land.

But it is really reluctant to rent this land out and let others collect it, and the food they paid will be enough for them to eat for a long time!

"When will this be received?" Qian Shi straightened up and looked at the golden wheat, and felt a pain in her arm. In previous years, this situation made her mouth-watering with joy.

"If you have time to talk nonsense, you can harvest two more crops of wheat!" He Tian chokes her angrily, without even raising his head.

No matter how hard it was, the wheat still had to be harvested, and the good grain could not be left in the fields, it was something that could be exchanged for money.

"With so much grain, it would be difficult to bring it back!" When Mr. Qian said this, he remembered something, and his tone became dissatisfied, "He Ling, the white-eyed wolf, knows that he uses his ox cart for outsiders, and he doesn't care about it. If you know, you can also use it to us!"

As she spoke, she started to cut the stubble of wheat, just like cutting He Ling's flesh. After all, raising him so big, she really didn't know how to be grateful!

He Tian pursed his lips and didn't say a word, and was a little angry in his heart, but he was not only angry with He Ling, but also He Zhen. Since he came back that time, he has never shown his face again, causing his family to become what it is today. In this way, he can still enjoy the happiness of the landlord's house with peace of mind, without caring about them at all!

Even if it was wrong to marry an old man, he shouldn't hold such grudge against his biological parents, and he got a rich life because of it.

Also a fact.

"Hey, I don't know if Agui can bring two children at home alone?" Qian's hands were mowing wheat, and his thoughts began to run towards the house again.

He Gui lost one leg, so he couldn't do the work in the field, so he could only stay at home to take care of the two little dolls, but it was inconvenient for him to move, which was inevitably worrying.

"Okay, let's do your job, don't worry about everything here!" He Tian was a little impatient, he was already too tired, and he had to listen to her constantly talking in his ears!

Mrs Qian pouted and said tentatively, "Master, why don't we give up some money to buy an ox and get an ox cart, anyway, we still have some money now."

They haven't moved the twenty taels of employment silver given by the Ma family. It's not impossible to allocate ten taels to buy a cow, and they can also provide more labor for the family.

He Tian was a little moved. With the first cow, it would be much easier for them to transport food, and it would be much faster.

Seeing that he seemed to be interested, the Qian Shi added more energy: "In the future, when the farming is slack, can't we be able to make money with an ox cart like the Zhao family!"

Anyway, there are many people in the village, and that ox cart is not enough to travel to and from the town.

Thinking of this, He Tian gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to town tomorrow to see!"

When Zheng Yuefeng came back, seeing that they were all busy, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the ground with the wind and fire, saying that he had to experience the joy of harvesting crops.

As a result, a good scythe in the hands of others will be disobedient to him, either cutting the wheat or cutting his own hand, which makes him very depressed.

"Eldest young master, don't make trouble here, okay? Go and sit on the edge of the ground!" Xu Hua finally took his sickle and drove him out of the ground.

Zheng Yuefeng walked away dejectedly, and sat under the tree beside the ground, sighing again that he was useless. He also thought about Brother Hua's hard work and wanted to help him.

Xu Hua looked at the unhappy person and sighed. He knew the other person's intentions, but he had cut himself several times. Although the cut was not very big, it would still hurt!

"If you're worried, just go and have a look!" He Ling also stopped his hand, took out a small flat box from his arms while talking to him, and handed it over, "I tore my hand two days ago, and my husband gave it to me. I don't need it anymore, go and paint him."

After hesitating for a while, Xu Hua still reached out and took it. No matter how disgusted he was, he still missed him in his heart.

He walked over to the depressed man and sat down, took his hand in his surprised eyes, and carefully smeared the ointment on each wound, "If you can't do it, don't do it, there's no shortage of you!"

Zheng Yuefeng saw that although he had a straight face, the movements of his hands were very gentle, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared, "I'm so useless, I can't do anything!"

Xu Hua finished giving him the medicine, and when he heard what he said, he patted his forehead, "You have been spoiled since you were a child, so of course you can't do this, and I don't have the ability to manage so many shops!"

Touching the place where he was photographed, Zheng Yuefeng felt sweet in his heart, but his brother Hua was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he came to comfort him even if he was sad.

Seeing his smiling face, Xu Hua stood up, patted the soil on his clothes, turned to walk into the ground, and said, "If you really want to help, just collect the wheat we have cut, this job is yours. It's done!"

"Alas!" Zheng Yuefeng jumped up from the ground excitedly, and ran after him.

Seeing the two people coming back one after the other, He Ling was relieved. Zheng Yuefeng's temper was like that of a child sometimes.

Suddenly, his head was dizzy, and his body swayed. He shook his head and turned to look behind him for the first time. Qi Yue was bending over to cut a bunch of wheat. He didn't pay attention to his side. He breathed a sigh of relief. I patted my cheek, feeling a little more awake.

People really can't rest all the time. The more rested they are, the worse their body and bones are. He used to be able to do so much work when he was not in good health, but now he has so many problems every day.

"What's the matter?" Qi Yue got up and saw him standing there motionless, his eyes blank and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked to his side and reached out to touch the side of his sweaty face.

He Ling was startled, turned around to see him, and shook his head hurriedly, "It's alright, just thinking that the two of them are getting better and better, I'm very happy."

Qi Yue glanced at the two of them, turned around and wrinkled his eyebrows, "I think your face is a little bad, are you uncomfortable?"

He Ling felt a little guilty after being asked by him, and hurriedly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "How could it be, if I'm not feeling well, I'll definitely tell my husband, but you, are you tired these days?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then brushed the hair on his face, feeling a little distressed.

"I'm fine with your husband!" Qi Yue took his hand and put it on his lips and kissed him, then leaned closer to his ear, and said with a wicked smile, "Isn't your husband best aware of your husband's physical strength?"

He Ling was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth and saw that the two of them were busy with their heads bowed. Then he let go and slapped his chest in embarrassment, "Why are you saying anything outside!"

Seeing a layer of red clouds floating on his face, he looked very energetic, Qi Yue was not so worried, he put his hand on his heart, and said, "Okay, I will only say this to my husband in the future. hear."

He Ling pulled out his hand, turned around and lowered his head to cut the wheat, ignoring the person who would provoke him. He was getting worse and worse, and he would tease him!

Seeing his little husband was really annoyed, Qi Yue was very sensible and didn't go to recruit him again. When the busy farming time passed, he would give him a good check on his health.
