"Of course there is."
Mei Xiaoran analyzed to her dad, "Look, now in your construction team, besides you and my second uncle, my four older brothers are my sixth master and seventh uncle, right? You will be working tomorrow. Shihou first ask who does not need to help cut the wheat. You and my second uncle, and my older brothers, they definitely need people to help cut the wheat, but my sixth master and seventh uncle, that’s not necessarily... Six Ye and we are not our own family, and there is a large population in the family. Maybe you don’t need my sixth master to go home to harvest wheat, and there are people working; there is also my seventh uncle, and I have so many uncles and uncles, and the seventh uncle doesn’t have it. To get married, his land must be with my aunt, and I guess he doesn’t need to help cut the wheat."
Seeing her daughter’s analysis, Mei Zhonghua rushed to pat her legs and said, “Speaking like this, the six of us who need to cut the wheat are the six of us who need to cut the wheat. In fact, if you look at it carefully, the four companies need to cut the wheat!"
"No, I have to add my grandfather and my Zhou Nai's family, and count as five. You're right."
Li Mingyun was obviously attracted by her daughter's words and urged her to continue speaking.
"In fact, this matter is also very easy to handle. Three strong laborers can definitely cut one acre of wheat in two hours in the morning. You now have eight people. We have three acres of land, hurry up. It's just one morning."
Mei Xiaoran’s thoughts are very clear, and her words are organized, “My second uncle’s house has six or seven acres of land, and it will take at least two mornings to complete it. And my grandfather’s house, which has nearly five acres of land. In addition to my grandfather and grandmother, Mai’s and my third aunt and third uncle, plus you eight people, I guess I can finish the cut in one morning; the ones that have the most land left are my uncle and second uncle’s family, which belong to both of them. The family has the most land. My uncle and auntie, second uncle and second mother, must be good labor. If you add the eight of you, the combined labor is really a lot! Although my uncle's family has more than ten acres of land, if it is so much If people do it together, I guess it will take two days; the situation in my second uncle's house is similar to my uncle's, even if my grandpa and my milk's land are added, it will be done in three days at most."
Mei Zhonghua do the math, if Mei Xiaoran’s algorithm is used, his family and Zhou Jincheng’s family
Lao Zhang's family can finish cutting the wheat in four days; his eldest brother and second elder brother also have four days. There is no need to stop work, and the work can be done in a week or so.
"Dad, do you think it's good for me to give you this idea? Will I be able to finish the work in one week?"
"Ran Ran, I think you have a good idea. You can finish the work in about a week, and you don't need to stop the project. As long as the big event of cutting wheat is completed, I can do the rest." Li Mingyun It's not a good hand in farm work, but it's not that it can't do it, it's that it's not strong in combat.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about the wheat harvesting. Now there is a wheat harvesting machine. We just need to finish harvesting the wheat and wait for it to come and harvest the wheat."
There are already wheat diverters in this era, but one production team and one production team take turns to harvest the wheat. Some people can’t wait, so they raise the market by themselves... But now in the situation of these companies, it is necessary to use the wheat diverter. Spend some money, but compared to delaying the project, this is already a small amount of money.
Therefore, Mei Zhonghua took the charge of using the wheat retort in a big way, and paid it down in advance, "How much can the wheat retort be spent? Let's pay this money!"
But Mei Xiaoran put forward another opinion, "If my sixth master and seventh uncle really don’t need everyone to help him cut the wheat, I suggest that they can’t help us cut the wheat in vain, at least you have to express it, You can't take it for granted."
"I know this. By then, give them a five-yuan red envelope, and they will definitely be satisfied."
Mei Zhonghua didn't even think about letting the family do the work for nothing. It was only a week, but it was actually quite nervous. After all, time waits for no one. If the weather changes and it rains, doesn't it have to cry to death
"Also... In order to be fair, I decided to take the wheat from the lottery first. This is at least fair. Although it is all my own, if it's my turn to change the sky, I won't let you complain."
"Girl, your dad knows this!"
The matter was settled in this way. The next day Mei Zhonghua went to the trade market and said that everyone was frowning, but now they are somewhat relaxed.
The result is exactly the same as Mei Xiaoran said, Mei Liushu's house and Mei Xiaoqi's house don’t need it.
They want them to go home to cut their wheat specially, but they don't need to go home to cut their own wheat but they need to help others to cut their own wheat, but there is a red envelope subsidy, and neither of them feels uncomfortable.
The rest is the lottery. The result of the lottery is: the first is Zhou Jincheng’s family, the second is Mei’s family, the third is Grandpa Li’s, and the fourth is Mei’s second brother’s family. At last.
However, everyone was not very satisfied with this result. Mei Xiaoxian, the third nephew of Mei Zhonghua, raised an objection. The land of his family and the uncle's house are connected together.
Mei Zhonghua thought for a while, and felt that Grandpa Li’s house was next to Zhou Jincheng’s house, and both were in the county town. It’s better to change the order with his elder brother’s house. After all, working together can save time and time and save back and forth. Ran.
Everyone has no objections after listening to it, so it's so decided.
From the fifth shift on the second day, everyone gathered at Zhou Jincheng's house to help cut the wheat.
As the saying goes: there are too many people and more power, so the wheat will be harvested in the same morning. Li Mingqin and the Zhou brothers had to do the rest of the work by themselves, but after all, the wheat had already been cut, and they were not afraid that it would rain and rot in the ground.
Next is Grandma Li's house. Cheng Bin also came to help on this day. The Li's family had more labor than when they harvested wheat for Zhou's family, and it took only a day to harvest the wheat.
When it was Mei’s eldest and second child’s turn, although the two families had a lot of land, more land also meant more people. Originally, each family had a lot of labor. In addition, the Mei’s boss and second child had discussed it. When I went to some place to cut the wheat, the other family all went to help... It only took less than four days to harvest the wheat smoothly.
In the end, it was Mei Zhonghua's own home.
For everyone, if we have done more, the three acres of land seems insignificant. In less than two hours, all these strong labors have been completed.
It’s a good deal. I collected so many wheat in eight days. Mei Zhonghua is full of sense of accomplishment, but, these few days are really... I'm tired of everyone!
Harvesting wheat is hard work, and the engineering of the trade market is also manual work. Everyone divides one day into two days. This week, everyone is exhausted and can't afford to work.
