Man Bao looked at her father in bewilderment, shook his head and asked, "Father, where am I going to marry?"
"Of course it's in the town, but our Manbao is so powerful now, maybe we can marry in the county town?"
That's not far away, Man Bao thought for a while, then shook his head and refused.
She promised Keke that when she grows up, she will take it to far, far places to collect many, many plants. How to collect it when she is married
So she said to Old Zhou: "Father, I won't marry now, and I will marry after I finish my work."
Old Zhou Tou burst out laughing, he was very familiar with such an answer, he patted her on the head indifferently and said with a smile: "How can I finish all the work in this world? I still have to marry when it's time to get married." of."
Man Bao turned and ran away, not distinguishing from Lao Zhou. When she grows up, Daddy will always change his mind.
Such as eldest sister.
When the eldest sister came home back then, my father wanted to marry her off in the second month, but now it has been a year, and another year, isn't the eldest sister still unmarried
Seeing that the little girl ran away and the others were still squatting in front of him, the old Zhou waved his hands in disgust, "Go, go, go to work quickly, if you don't finish cutting this piece by noon, you won't be allowed to go home."
Old Zhou had a lot of family members, so of course they didn't have to cut this piece of wheat until noon. In fact, they finished cutting this piece of wheat in less than an hour, that is, around two quarters of the clock.
Man Bao and his group of small ones fell behind to pick ears of wheat.
Old Zhou Tou wiped the sweat off his face, the sun was already very hot.
He turned his head to Zhou Zhoulang and said: "Let your wife go home, don't follow her here to bask in the sun, your third sister-in-law should have gone back too, let them cook lunch at home."
Zhou Zhoulang quickly responded and asked Fang to go back.
They didn't care about spreading out the wheat to dry in the field, but returned to the ground and began to move the wheat into bamboo baskets. This was what they bundled out of the field early this morning, and they just picked it up for home now.
As for the ones that are only cut in the field, let them hang out in the sun for half a day, wait until evening for supper, and then tie them up and pick them up when the sun goes down.
In fact, in previous years, Lao Zhou would prefer to put the wheat on the ground to dry for a day or two. Although some of the overnight wheat would be stolen by birds and mice, he could spare time to harvest other wheat and save space at home. no
But now it’s no longer possible. I heard that some villages’ harvested wheat has been stolen in the field. Their Qili Village is remote and in the mountains. Strangers can see them coming in and out, so no one has stolen it for the time being.
But what if someone enters the village in the dark
Who will see it then
Moreover, most of the fields are outside the village, and people live in houses. Who can see the situation in the land
As for people in this village stealing, old Zhou Tou naturally didn't believe it. Even if there were such villains, the rabbits wouldn't eat the grass by the side of the nest.
Anyway, no matter where the thief came from, he wouldn't dare to leave the wheat outside for the night now.
This year's harvest is not good, and if it is stolen again, the family will really drink the northwest wind.
Old Zhou Tou picked up a load first, and Zhou Zhoulang avoided Qian's sight, and began to slack off, putting the wheat into the bamboo basket more and more slowly, slower and slower.
Wu Wulang and Zhou Zhoulang are also going to pick wheat, but the bamboo baskets they use are relatively small, so they don't have to worry about the pressure on their shoulders and waists. After all, they still have to grow their bodies, don't they
When the two of them filled their own baskets, they looked back and saw that the fourth brother's bamboo basket was filled. The whole person leaned against the wheat pile, yawned, looked sleepy, and seemed to be falling asleep.
The two brothers looked at each other, and immediately ran up to ask for help. Together, they threw a bundle of wheat into the bamboo basket and piled it up instantly.
Zhou Zhoulang woke up, saw the wheat in the bamboo basket, and shouted unwillingly: "Enough, enough, you are going to exhaust me to death."
"Fourth brother, we are here to help you."
"That's right, that's right, packing wheat is very hard work."
Zhou Lang was very angry, he was going to pretend slowly.
Seeing that he was going to move the wheat outside, Zhou Wulang immediately shouted: "Mother, fourth brother is lazy!"
Zhou Zhoulang was so angry that his nose was about to smoke. He looked around to find a helping hand, and found that Man Baozao and Datou had disappeared, and he didn't know where they went.
Of course Man Bao went to find Zhou Hu.
But she didn't even know the land of her own home, so of course she didn't know where Zhou Hu's land was, so Datou led her the way.
Da Ya and the others liked to play with sister-in-law the most, so Hu La La and the group all followed.
Zhou Hu led Dafu to harvest wheat in the field, and there were only father and son in such a large piece of land, which looked very pitiful.
Man Bao ran in to say hello, "Brother Zhou Hu, is sister-in-law Hu okay?"
As soon as Zhou Hu looked up, he saw a group of children from the old Zhou's family running up, his mood was a little complicated, "I'm much better, I'm still taking medicine, but I should be able to get out of bed after confinement. "
Chen's health is worse than that of Qian's now, and he can't even take care of himself, but his condition has stabilized, and he hasn't bled again.
Zhou Hu is still very grateful to the old Zhou family, because he feels that his wife's spirit is much better than before, mostly because of what Qian said.
"What about Sanshou?"
The smile on Zhou Hu's face became even bigger, and he said with a smile: "Three years of life will be even better. Now I can drink five bowls of goat's milk a day and eat some gruel."
Just too much urine.
Zhou Hu paused at this point, and said: "I have asked someone to find the sheep, and when I find the milking sheep, I will return the sheep to Young Master Bai."
Man Bao waved his little hand and said, "Shanbao doesn't mind, he told me yesterday that he wanted to visit Sanshou."
Zhou Hu said happily: "That's a good relationship. Erlu is at home, and the door is open, so you can just go in."
"Is Aunt Chen not at home?"
It was about Zhou Hu's mother-in-law.
Zhou Hu shook his head and said, "Now that the summer harvest has begun, she has gone home."
Man Bao looked at Zhou Hu sympathetically, no wonder Brother Zhou Hu became so thin, haggard, and embarrassed after only seeing each other for a few days.
Man Bao wanted to reach out to pat him on the shoulder, but found that he couldn't, so he gave up and asked directly how to catch birds.
Zhou Hu thought for a while and said, "Are you trying to catch birds? Those things are not easy to catch. I always use fishing nets to catch them. Sometimes I use bows and arrows, but they are not easy to shoot."
Zhou Hu didn't hide it, his family was considered to be the second best in the village before, only a little worse than the village chief's, because his father knew how to hunt, and he also knew how to hunt.
But if people in the village asked him about hunting skills, he would still say it, but he said that others might not be able to learn it.
But Man Bao was the one who asked, so he explained in more detail, and then continued to pick up the sickle to cut the wheat.
He's too busy, otherwise he wouldn't mind spending some time catching a bunch for Man Bao.
But at this time, he is the only laborer in his family, and Dafu is not very old. Although he can help a little, after all, it is limited. He was cutting the land yesterday, and it is estimated that the cutting will be finished before tonight. go home.
He had obviously heard the rumors of the wheat being stolen.
