Fang Xiaoxi laughed: "I know that Daddy is the best and will definitely agree to me."
The family chatted and laughed over lunch, all looking forward to tomorrow's autumn harvest. After all, what you planted with great effort can be harvested tomorrow.
The next day came in a blink of an eye. Farmers started harvesting early, usually getting up before dawn. Fang Xiaoxi looked at the sky outside, which was still a little gray. She thought that the master and others would not come so early, so there was no need to greet them.
After getting dressed, my mother handed breakfast to everyone and said, "Xiao Xi, wake up. Come and have breakfast. After you eat, go to sleep for a while. We don't need you at home. Go pick up your friends when you wake up."
Fang Xiaoxi immediately shook her head: "No, I want to go to the fields with you. My master and the others should come at dawn. I can help them and do a lot!"
When Fang's mother heard this, she laughed and said, "You can still do a lot. You sound like you've been to the fields before. You're just getting better now, so don't do anything stupid."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes. She almost forgot. Her original body was in poor health and always caught a cold. After she traveled through time, it took her more than a year to get well. As a result, this was also her first time to participate in the autumn harvest.
He rubbed his head and said, "I'll go learn this first. I can't wait for my master and my classmates to come and find out that I don't know how to do it either. That would be so embarrassing."
This seems to be true. Fang's mother knows that her daughter loves to save face. This child has been sick since childhood, and she thought she would never grow up. But she is now so lively and energetic. Fang's mother is happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Okay, then eat faster and go to the field first. I'll teach you."
Fang Xiaoxi said impatiently: "Then let's eat while walking. Come on, let's go."
After Fang Xiaoxi's pursuit, the family hurriedly finished their breakfast and headed towards the field. Looking at the yellow-orange rice field, the ears of rice were curved, but the things on them didn't look very full.
Yes, in such a dynasty, the rice harvest was actually not that high. Even though there were special people in the court who were busy with these matters, the results did not seem to be very good.
Qian Jiujiu actually had thought about working on crops, but although she was good at medical skills, she was really average when it came to crops.
Even if you take out seeds that can make the rice harvest good, it is only because they have been contaminated by the spiritual energy in the space. They can only be planted for two or three generations, and they will be useless after two or three generations.
Arriving at the field, Fang's mother waved at Fang Xiaoxi and said, "After you talked to your father yesterday, he specially bought a few more sickles. Come here, I will teach you how to use the sickle. It looks simple to cut rice with a sickle, but there are actually some tricks involved."
"People who don't know can easily cut themselves if they're not careful, so listen to me carefully. Come, hold the sickle, bend over, and move your feet along with your hands. Hold it in this place, and then gently pull it, and you'll be done."
Fang Xiaoxi watched her mother's movements and started to learn them. She found that they were quite useful: "Mom, I think it's quite simple."
Fang Xiaoxi started to work. Not long after, she heard someone calling her, "Fang Xiaoxi, there are two carriages at your door. Go back and take a look."
Carriages? Two? The master and his men are here. Fang Xiaoxi was a little puzzled as to why the master came so early. She quickly got up from the field and said, "Mom, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back and take a look."
As he said that, he ran towards home. When he got home soon, he saw Qian Jiujiu and the others. He immediately went forward to greet them: "Master, Master, you are here."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Look at the way you are dressed, are you already doing it? I thought we came early enough, but it's still not enough."
Fang Xiaoxi scratched her head embarrassedly: "No, it just started. I thought you guys would have to wait a while before coming, Master!"
As they were talking, another carriage came from behind and Li Tong jumped down from it: "Xiao Xi, here I come."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded at Li Tong: "Got it."
Qian Jiujiu actually knew this little girl. After all, when she first saw her on the court, she was also a very cute girl!
Li Tong knew that Fang Xiaoxi had said that her master and the others would also come, but she didn't know that so many people would come: "Miss Beibei is here too!"
Beibei was still very interested in the autumn harvest. After hearing what Li Tong said, she nodded and said, "Here we are! Mom, we are all here, let's go take a look at the fields."
Although Nanbeibei was raised in a free-range environment, it has received all the necessary training. It has not been harvested in the field yet, so this opportunity is rare.
Qian Jiujiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go now."
Fang Xiaoxi led the way in front. Such a large group of people, all well-dressed, looked out of place in the fields.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoxi laughed a little, but managed to hold it in. It seemed that the master had never been underground before, so this time everyone was here to experience it together.
Such a large group of people would certainly attract attention. The villagers of Fangjia Village had already started discussing: "What's going on in Fang Xiaoxi's house? Why did they bring guests into the fields when they had guests?"
"That's right. Look at what he's wearing. He looks very rich. Why is he sent to pick her up by a girl and even take her to the fields? What are they doing?"
A villager suddenly spoke up: "I remembered something. Fang Xiaoxi's father came to my house last night to borrow farm tools, saying that he would need them today. I was curious and asked if they hired someone to harvest rice this year, and he said no. Could it be that the farm tools were prepared for these people?"
"You're talking nonsense. These people are spoiled city dwellers. How could they possibly work in the fields? Even if it's true, Fang Xiaoxi's father is so cruel that he would let these people destroy the rice."
"How can it be considered a waste? Maybe they have already bought it! If we give them more money, they won't have any new food to eat..."
…
A group of people were working and discussing at the same time. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao both had very good hearing. Naturally, they heard it clearly. No wonder Fang Xiaoxi looked a little strange when she talked to her at the beginning.
The feeling is that they come to help harvest rice and are wasting their rice! It seems that they are going to buy it, and they can't let them lose it for nothing.
After all, they are indeed a group of novices. Mu Yexiao nodded to Qian Jiujiu, and the two whispered, "Will we compensate them when the time comes?"
Qian Jiujiu hummed, and they had already reached their destination. Fang Xiaoxi's parents saw Qian Jiujiu and his group, and everyone from the county government was here today.
Even the old lady who rarely went out came. The people of the Fang family hurried forward to greet them: "Greetings, old lady, madam..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yexiao spoke up: "We are all acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite. We are here today, and I am afraid we will cause trouble for you. Don't worry, we won't let you suffer any loss. We mainly want the younger generation below to come down and understand your hard work."
"We will compensate you for any amount of waste. After all, it is food and cannot be wasted. I will have to rely on you to explain more from now on. And you! Don't treat us as adults today, ma'am. Just treat us as your temporary workers and give us good guidance."
Father Fang's mouth twitched. Although the adults said so, who would dare to do it? He could only agree with a smile: "What the adults said is right, then let's get started."
It's really direct! Father Fang continued, "Yesterday I heard Xiaoxi say that you guys were coming. The farm tools we prepared temporarily might not be enough. You guys can decide how to distribute them."
Anyway, what is in the hands of the Fang family cannot be taken away. Looking at the farm tools on the ground, Qian Jiujiu spoke up: "Beibei, Yaoyao, Li Tong, you two take the sickles and follow Aunt Fang to learn."
"Nannan, take your brother and Chu Shaoyang to learn from Uncle Fang. As for me and your father, well, we just happen to have a farm tool, so you go. Mother, we'll just watch from the side."
The old lady was just curious about working in the fields, she didn't really want to go down. It was nice that Qian Jiujiu was there to watch with her.
I just nodded: "Okay, then we'll just watch from the side."
Qian Jiujiu waved towards Qingyue and said, "Qingyue, go and bring all the painting supplies I prepared. You can draw the first time Nannanbeibei goes to the ground."
They came prepared. Nanbeibei and a group of people had already taken their sickles and were ready. Fang's mother and father were explaining in detail how to use this thing and to be careful.
Then they were given a small area to practice in, with each person in a row.
Nannan looked at Beibei and raised his eyebrows: "Are you interested in a competition to see who is faster?"
Beibei rolled his eyes: "Why would we compete to see who's faster? You'd better be safe."
Nan Nan snorted proudly: "I think you don't dare to compete. Well, we boys are better at work."
Beibei was immediately dissatisfied: "Oh? Do you dare to say this in front of mother?"
Nan Nan was instantly discouraged: "Can you not use mother to do everything for you? Mother is just an ordinary woman. Just a simple sentence, do you want to compare?"
Beibei thought about it for a while and said, "Tell me, what is the punishment for winning or losing?"
Nan Nan thought for a moment before speaking: "The loser has to do something for the winner. I haven't decided what it is yet, but anything that's not too excessive will do. And Fang Xiaoxi is not allowed to participate, after all, she's used to doing it."
"Plus, you, Li Tong, and Mo Yunyao are three people, along with me, Mu Yeyin, and Chu Shaoyang. How do you think it will be three against three?"
Beibei nodded: "Deal! Let's get started and see who finishes first."
