Although they are well cared for, the size of the strawberry field is there, and the daily harvest cannot be too extraordinary.
But even so, each family still has an income of 500 cash per day.
Five hundred coins a day, one tael of silver in two days.
Before the summer harvest, each family earned fifteen taels of silver.
With this money, after the summer harvest, the four Su Laifu brothers can go to school.
The wheat looked a little green in the first few days, but after a few days, it turned yellow.
After the village chief took the old people in the village to walk around the field, he started to cut the wheat with a sickle.
The summer harvest is very difficult, and in June, the weather is already getting hot.
But everyone has to go to the ground at dawn and go home when it gets completely dark.
Just because of the weather in June, the baby's face changes at any time.
It's still sunny today, but it might rain tomorrow.
No one wants the wheat that they have worked so hard to grow for half a year to take root and germinate in the ground when it rains.
So hurry up as fast as you can, and get all the wheat home before it rains.
Therefore, summer harvest is also called rush harvest.
Su Ruanruan, Su Laixi, and Xiao Chengjin are all young, so of course they can't go to the fields to cut wheat.
But they also have tasks, such as carrying baskets to pick wheat ears in the mowed fields, or driving away birds in the wheat drying area.
The summer sun is scorching. At the end of the day, I don’t know how much sweat I have shed, and my skin has been tanned several degrees.
But at this time, food is the most important thing. In the entire village, from the elderly to the children, no one will complain about suffering or tiredness.
Everyone understands the truth that it’s okay to be tired or miserable, but being hungry is the scariest thing.
The Su family has twelve acres of land, but there are only four adults who can go to the fields to harvest wheat.
Even the twelve-year-old Su Laifu didn't have the strength to cut wheat in the field.
Everyone in the Su family was busy and dizzy with cutting, picking, and drying.
At this time, the benefits of the Xiao family became apparent.
The Xiao family only has four acres of land. Although there are only two people to harvest wheat, Xiao Da Niu is already thirteen and can lead her three younger sisters to transport wheat in a cart. Although she may transport a little less each time, the little things add up. , their wheat harvest is very fast.
After the Xiao family's wheat harvest was finished, Xiao Yougen and Xiao Wang asked Xiao Danniu to lead Xiao Erniu to watch the wheat drying. Xiao Sanniu and Xiao Siniu picked up wheat ears in the field with baskets. He came to Su's house to help harvest wheat.
Su Cangshan was reluctant at first, but in the end Xiao Yougen pretended to be angry. Su Cangshan agreed, but he also thought that after the Xia harvest business was finished, he must invite Xiao Yougen to drink.
But that will happen in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to harvest the wheat quickly.
After working for seven or eight days, all the wheat was dried, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Cangshan was sitting in his yard, looking up at the sky, with a smile on his dark face, "God is so kind to me this year! It didn't rain!"
When Su Dahe heard this, he almost slapped Su Cangshan on the head.
Listening to what is being said, is it possible that you still hope it won’t rain
Thinking that he had made a lot of money this year and that his family would still have a lot of income in the future, Su Dahe said to Su Cangshan, "In addition to paying taxes on our wheat this year, we should not sell the rest. We can keep it for our own consumption." .”
