After all, if you don't care about her, you can't tell that she is a little tired today, and she can't even lift her arms. But she has only worked for one day, so how can she rest
A group of people went to the fields again, and Nanbeibei and others took up their sickles and started working. After all, they had worked all day yesterday, and their movements were very skilled, so today they looked like veterans.
Fang Xiaoxi saw this scene and seriously doubted whether she was a fool. Why was it that they were the same people, and they were still so powerful the next day, but she was exhausted like a dog? Geniuses really do exist, for example, this group of people.
Qian Jiujiu waved towards Fang Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, come here."
Fang Xiaoxi walked up to Qian Jiujiu and said, "Master, do you want to ask me something?"
Qian Jiujiu touched Fang Xiaoxi's head and said, "Sit down and take a rest. You are different from them. You have just recovered from a long illness and cannot stand being tired. It is also because the master did not pay attention. I will prescribe some medicine for you to take good care of your body and get better."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked, a little surprised. Her emotions were all visible, and she was not in a good state today.
"Thank you, Master."
Qian Jiujiu picked up Fang Xiaoxi's sickle and said, "I haven't done farm work for a long time. I'm going to have some fun."
Haven't done it for a long time? What do you mean, could it be that the master has done farm work before? Looking at Qian Jiujiu, he walked into the field and came to the row allocated to Fang Xiaoxi.
Bending down, he began to cut the rice. Nannan and Beibei looked over with admiration. It turned out that mother was so good at farm work. They couldn't help but look at each other and said, "Brother, do you think we should also find a farm and grow some rice?"
Nan Nan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Even if we want to plant, it will be after the beginning of spring next year. It's too late now."
That's true. Besides, she will be busy drawing comics after the autumn harvest! After thinking it over, she said, "Then remind me next year so I don't forget."
Beibei is careless, so it's normal for him to forget what he said. Mo Yunyao at the side immediately said, "It's okay, I'll remember it for you and remind you when the time comes."
While he was talking, he didn't stop using the sickle in his hand. Father Fang didn't expect that these children would be so vigorous the next day, as if they had endless energy.
With the help of these people, it took only two days to harvest the rice in the field. After harvesting, the rice was piled up at the edge of the field, made into round bundles, and then carried back.
As for carrying things, Nan Nan said that it was no problem, after all, he was strong and had internal strength. So everyone saw Nan Nan carrying a shoulder pole and walking briskly on the edge of the field.
Father Fang looked at Fang Shaohua with some surprise: "I didn't realize that this county magistrate's son is good at farm work."
The corner of Master Fang's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to respond to this, but he had to admit that Nan Nan was indeed very capable, of course, and not just in farm work.
Beibei had already moved to Qian Jiujiu's side and looked at her: "Mom, after we finish our work, should we go home? Will you come again tomorrow?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Of course I'll come again. You don't think that just cutting the rice is the end of the matter."
Beibei asked with a silly look on his face: "Isn't it? Then what else is there to do?"
Qian Jiujiu raised his head slightly and said, "You can also help to move it. Follow and see, then you will know."
That's true, let's move with them. Beibei was quite strong, but Mo Yunyao just stood there in a daze, looking helplessly at Nanbeibei who had already walked away.
Then he turned around and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Aunt, I can't carry it or lift it, what should I do?"
Qian Jiujiu knew Mo Yunyao. She looked lively and cheerful, and a little fierce, but actually she had no martial arts skills. In the past, she relied on the people around her to be able to act tough in Mo Yun City.
"Then don't be picky, let's go, let's go together."
There is a large yard in front of every household in Fangjia Village, and now it is time to put this big yard to use.
To be honest, it was also the first time for Qian Jiujiu to see ordinary people harvesting in autumn. The harvested rice was carried back in bundles and placed next to the yard.
Inside the yard, the yard was swept clean. There was a small area covered with linen, and no one knew what it was used for.
It took a long time just to pick these things up. It looked like they wouldn't be threshing the grain today. Father Fang called Fang Xiaoxi to ask, "Will your master and his men come tomorrow? We'll start threshing tomorrow."
Fang Xiaoxi immediately ran to ask Qian Jiujiu, and Qian Jiujiu immediately said that she would come again tomorrow.
The next day, still before dawn, Qian Jiujiu's carriage arrived at the door of Fang's house. He stopped the carriage aside and took Nannanbeibei and others out of the carriage.
Nan Nan ran quickly to Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, we are here. What are we going to do today?"
Beibei couldn't stand Nannan's energy, so he snorted and walked over proudly, with Mo Yunyao following him with a smile.
Although Fang Xiaoxi did not work in previous years, she still remembered the autumn harvest every year and knew the following procedures.
"Today, what we have to do today is threshing grain."
The ears of grain are still hanging on the straw and need to be detached. Beibei asked curiously, "How do you detach them?"
Fang Xiaoxi walked to the pile of rice, picked up a handful, walked to the place covered with sackcloth, and smashed the rice down with all her strength.
Many ears of corn flew down and landed on the rag: "Just knock these down directly like this."
When Qian Jiujiu saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the method of threshing grain in this place was so backward.
She glanced at Mu Yexiao beside her and said, "Husband, I think this is your problem. This method of threshing the grain is not good. It also causes great damage to the grains. We should have prepared the thresher in advance."
Mu Yexiao didn't know much about these things, so he looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Do you still have the diagram of a thresher? It should be in time to make one now. It will be faster than threshing with hands like this."
Qian Jiujiu nodded. This was true. Machines were faster than manual labor and if they were to be made in a simple way, the speed would also be fast. All they needed was wood.
As for wood, there are plenty of them in the construction site of the villa next door, and there are craftsmen there, which is great: "Then let's go next door and finish it and come back later."
After saying something to Fang Xiaoxi, the two of them set out to make the thresher. Fang Xiaoxi then called Nanbeibei and a group of people to sit down around them: "Let's get started."
Nannanbeibei also sat down and started smashing the rice with straws. They used so much force that the ears of rice flew everywhere, which made Fang Xiaoxi laugh.
It was the same when she was smashing the ground. Soon, a group of people's heads and bodies were covered with fallen ears of grain. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Fang's mother came out and saw this scene. She was a little amused and said, "You guys, this is not the time to have fun. Hurry up and get up, clean yourself, and wash yourself, otherwise you will get itchy. Next time you thresh the grain, remember to wear a hood."
There is a hat to cover the hair, and there is a layer of cloth underneath the hat to cover the neck to prevent the ears of grain from falling into the neck.
Fang Xiaoxi had only seen it before and had never made it herself, and there weren't that many hats, so she forgot about it.
Now that Fang's mother said this, several people got up and went to clean up. Meanwhile, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also arrived at the other courtyard.
Master Ye was still leisurely waving his fan on the tree. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao and said with amusement, "Why are you here again?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and ignored it. Instead, she went to find the craftsmen here, took out the drawn drawings, and asked the craftsmen to follow them. Under Qian Jiujiu's guidance, the craftsmen only took one hour to make a simple thresher.
"You guys carry the thresher and head down the mountain. It might come in handy today!"
The craftsmen were usually hardworking people, so there was nothing they couldn't lift, so they quickly pulled the thresher down the mountain.
When they came down, the children's hair had just been blown dry. It took quite a while to clean it. Qian Jiujiu looked at the children and asked, "Are you playing or working?"
Fang Xiaoxi immediately stepped forward to explain: "Master, we don't have that many hooded guns prepared, so it's not convenient to continue playing, so let's take a break. What are you asking people to carry?"
This thresher is the kind that is pedaled. It has circles of spikes on it and is made of wood. You can make it roll by pedaling it. When it rolls, put straw on it and the ears of grain will fall off.
Qian Jiujiu introduced the thresher he brought and looked at Father Fang: "How about we try it?"
Father Fang showed considerable interest in this thresher. When he heard the name, he came over and said, "Okay, but how are we going to do it?"
The craftsmen who made it just now are all here. Now we need to see how practical it is and also see if there are any malfunctions when using it.
Under the guidance of the craftsmen, Mr. Fang began to thresh the grain. One craftsman and Mr. Fang started to tread the grains, and then the remaining craftsmen put straw on it, and the grains fell down with a rustling sound.
This is much better than throwing it on the ground. And it is also very fast. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao stood aside and watched the straw pile in front of them quickly turn into another pile.
"It looks good. Stop for a moment and check if the straw is clean. And check if the threshed grains are intact."
The craftsmen stopped and Father Fang began to inspect it. Then he became excited: "Great, sir, this is very useful. If this thing becomes popular, it will definitely be the best thing for the people."
