Abandoned Women of the Age: Getting Rich by Spatial Warehouses

Chapter 644
On the last weekend before the summer vacation, Yu Qing wanted to give the children an unforgettable memory before setting up a stall in the summer vacation, and let them understand that a happy life is hard-won.She and Xiang Yisen decided to take the children to the countryside to experience life this weekend.

They don't have any relatives in the countryside around the provincial capital, and the only one who has contact with the countryside is probably Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu's hometown is in a county below the provincial capital, and her family lives in a village not far from the county.

Mid-to-late June is the critical moment for early rice to mature, and it is almost possible to double grab it in July.

Aunt Lu’s family has a mound of land that matures early, but there are still some losses from cutting it now. Yu Qing bears these losses, and she wants the children to experience the hard-won food.

"Mom, grandpa said to let Uncle Nan and Uncle Bei go with us." Da'an ran in from outside the door.

Yu Qing secretly rolled her eyes: "Tell them, Ruan Nan and Ruan Bei's buttocks are too big to fit in a car!"

Daan wondered: "Grandpa has already spoken, do you want me to reject grandpa?"

Yu Qing took a sip of her powder and looked at him: "Isn't it because of the trouble you caused by showing off?"

Da'an shifted his seat guiltily, took the rice noodles that Aunt Qiu brought over, and quibbled, "I'm happy in my heart, I just want to share my joy with my family, who knew the two uncles would be greedy?"

Yu Qing was unmoved, and urged him: "Then you should make a phone call quickly and explain the situation here to your grandfather. If you wait for your two uncles to come over, then in order to sit down with them, I have to sacrifice you. Give them your seats."

While eating breakfast, Xiang Yisen silently put his eldest brother on the dining table.

Da'an glanced at Yanzhuzhu and Xiao'an, and they both had their breakfast with their heads down, not wanting to intercede at all.

Helpless, he had no choice but to pick up the phone and dial.

"Hey, grandpa, my mother said that Uncle Nanbei's butt is too big to fit in an ordinary car."

Yu Qing: "."

other people:"."

"I don't know either, this is what my mother said."

"Yes, if you want to go, you can find a way yourself!"

"Okay, we're having breakfast now, and we're ready to go after breakfast. If the uncles want to go with you, you should make a decision quickly."

Yu Qing: "."

The others silently gave Da'an a thumbs up. What they said was straightforward enough, and they were not afraid of offending the queen at home. There would be no good results for the next few days.

Da'an hung up the phone and saw that everyone was looking at him.

He asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking at me?"

As he spoke, he handed the phone to Xiang Yisen: "The call is over, Dad, I'll call you."

Yu Qing poured a lot of chopped peppers into her bowl, and asked quietly, "What did your grandfather say?"

Da'an took a big mouthful of rice noodles, chewed it a few times and swallowed it down: "Grandpa said, let us wait for him. He is resting at home today, and he happened to take two uncles to the countryside with us to experience labor."

Yu Qing smiled helplessly, Father Ruan said that he just had a rest, if he really had a rest today, he would not have said that Nanbei and Nanbei would follow them to the countryside from the very beginning.Instead, he directly said that he also drove along.

After breakfast, Yu Qing asked Aunt Lu to prepare a lot of cooked food and frozen meat, which were to be brought to Aunt Lu's house soon.

When the car drove to the gate of the manor, I saw Ruan Xiuhua's off-road vehicle parked at the intersection.

After honking the horn, the two cars drove towards the county below one after the other.

As the car drove all the way, the rice fields on both sides of the provincial road had begun to turn yellow, and many of the fields were planted with tobacco leaves.

Tobacco leaves are also harvested at this time, but tobacco leaves and rice are harvested in different ways.

When the rice is mature, it can be harvested all at once, while the tobacco leaves can only be picked and dried layer by layer from bottom to top.

This process is particularly tedious and laborious.

What's more, the tobacco leaves in this era can't be sold at a high price. Usually, the tobacco leaves are grown for a year, except for eating and drinking, except for the money to buy chemical fertilizers, and except for the coal for flue-cured tobacco, there is no money to save for a year.

Yu Qing looked at the receding large tobacco fields and asked, "Aunt Lu, does your family grow tobacco leaves?"

Aunt Lu was eager to return home, looking at the tobacco field outside the window, she felt kind from the bottom of her heart: "The family has planted a few acres of land. If they don't plant, and the family has no cash crops, then the family's pocket money for a year will be lost."

Yu Qing nodded, "Oh!"

After driving for more than an hour, the two cars entered Aunt Lu's village.

It just so happened that Aunt Lu's house was picking tobacco leaves today.

Aunt Lu's man came back with a load of tobacco leaves. Seeing Yu Qing and the others driving two cars, he put down the burden on his shoulders and came to say hello, inviting everyone to go home and have a rest and have a cup of tea before talking.

"You don't need to drink tea." Yu Qing waved her hands and asked Aunt Lu to bring home the gifts and food they brought.

Aunt Lu's man is surnamed Wu, according to his seniority, Yu Qing wants to call him Uncle Wu.

The group of them followed Uncle Wu directly to the tobacco curing room of their house.

There are a lot of tobacco leaves piled up in the open space next to the two tobacco-curing houses side by side. The elderly, women and children in the family are all smoking in the open space.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a scene.

Da'an looked at everything in front of him in amazement, and asked, "What is this tobacco leaf for? Why do you have to tie it on a stick like this after picking it up?"

Ruan Xiuhua took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and gave one to Aunt Lu's man, and two to each of Aunt Lu's sons who had just brought back their burdens.

Finally, he handed one to Da'an: "Didn't you ask what the tobacco leaves are for? Grandpa told you that this cigarette is made of tobacco leaves."

"Isn't smoking harmful to your health? Why do people still work hard to grow tobacco leaves?" Da'an couldn't understand the thinking of adults. If it is harmful, why bother to produce it?
Simply sick!
Ruan Xiuhua patted him on the shoulder: "You are asking a good question, but as for the reason, you will know when you grow up."

Da'an pouted: "Why wait until you grow up, isn't it the same to tell me now?"

Ruan Xiuhua saw Daan scratching his head and wondering why, he smiled unkindly: "It's different, when you grow up, you'll know why!"

Zhuzhu saw several children who were about the same age as her, also sitting on the stool and puffing cigarettes.

So, she followed Yu Qing and studied the method of binding tobacco leaves together. Seeing that their two hands cooperated tacitly and quickly tied the tobacco leaves, Zhuzhu felt a little itchy.

"Mom, can I learn to tie tobacco leaves from them?"

Yu Qing smiled: "Of course."

Uncle Wu was smoking, and when he heard that the little girl wanted to learn how to tie cigarettes, he quickly waved his hands and refused, "You guys come to play and have fun in the village. Although the work of pulling cigarettes is not very tiring, it is very dirty."

Xiang Yisen said with a smile: "It's okay, let them experience the hard work of smoking."

Uncle Wu saw that they insisted that he only needs to find a stool and let a few children sit down, and then he will pick up a tobacco stick and teach everyone how to tie a cigarette to be considered qualified.

"It's fine if it's tight, but it can't be too loose. Otherwise, when the tobacco leaves are dry, the tobacco leaves will fall off, which is easy to cause a fire. Then the whole tobacco curing room will burn down."

Several children were taken aback!
"If the tobacco leaf is not tied tightly, it will cause a fire?" Da'an was startled, should he tie the tobacco leaf or not?

"Pfft!"

The little girl who was puffing a cigarette next to her laughed. She fiddled with the movements of her hands: "As long as you tighten the rope, you will be fine. Don't be afraid, my grandpa is scaring you."

Old Wu smiled and didn't refute his granddaughter's words. It's fine if the little guests don't tie up tightly. They will check it again then.

After some discussion, several children seemed to start to move their hands.

"Mom, Dad, why is this tobacco leaf still sticky to your hands?" Zhuzhu exclaimed.

Da'an also raised his hand: "It's really sticky!"

The little girl who spoke just now was a bold one, and now she heard their exclamation, she grinned: "Look at my hands and you will understand."

As she spoke, she held up her own little black and dirty hand.

Seeing that the other party's little hands were black and dirty, especially the inside of the nails were black, Zhuzhu quit immediately.

She threw the tobacco stick on the ground: "Mom, Dad, I won't pierce it anymore, it's too dirty."

Yu Qing nodded with a smile. She didn't force the children, and she didn't intend to let the children smoke.

At this time, Aunt Lu came over with a burden.

Seeing everyone standing here, she smiled and said, "I have prepared boiling water, a straw hat, and a sickle. Let's go to the field to harvest early rice right away?"

When the other boys heard this, they cheered and stood up from their stools.

God knows, as soon as their hands touch the tobacco leaves, they don't want to pierce the cigarettes after they know their hands are sticky. It would be nice if they could go to the fields to cut rice.

When Ruan Xiuhua and the other adults saw them like this, they all laughed and shook their heads. The children are so naive!
There is nothing easy about doing farm work in the countryside!
Twisting tobacco leaves has the bitterness of pruning tobacco leaves, and cutting rice has the bitterness of cutting rice.

Every kind of farm work is very hard, but the difference is that the hardships of all kinds of farm work are not the same.

It's still early, just let the children go to the fields to experience it.

This time to cut the rice, Ruan Xiuhua, Xiang Yisen and Yu Qing all went down to the field with sickles in their hands.

Since you are here to do farm work, roll up your sleeves and do it!
Aunt Lu explained the skills of cutting rice to several children, and then let them go to work in the fields by themselves.

Yu Qing's true self knows how to do farm work, and Ruan Xiuhua was sent to the countryside to work as an educated youth when he was young. Among the three of them, Xiang Yisen is a little stranger.

Fortunately, he tried to cut a few scythes, and slowly he picked up the speed smoothly.

Several children cut slowly, but they are all trying to adapt.

Yu Qing stepped on the soft field, and asked with a smile, "Aunt Lu, did you find this field on purpose?"

Aunt Lu didn't hide anything, she replied while cutting the rice: "Yes, this mound field is not big, we can cut it all in one morning if we work hard, and the most important thing is that there is no water in this mound field, no need for everyone Take off your shoes and go to the field. If there is water in the field, I am worried that there will be leeches, and everyone will be in trouble if they accidentally bite."

Yu Qing speeded up, cut a bundle, tied it and put it aside, gratefully said: "These children, I have made you worry."

Aunt Lu smiled subtly: "I watched the children grow up."

The sun in the sky rose higher and higher, and the sunlight became more and more intense. Slowly, the children began to cry out for heat.

Sweating under the scorching sun on the top of the head, I wiped it with my hands, and now even the face and neck were frizzy and itchy, and some places were still burning.

"Dad, my face is itchy!"

Zhuzhu was the one who yelled at first. She thought she was not a delicate girl, but this farm work was different from what she imagined.

Xiang Yisen straightened up and looked at her: "Come here, wipe it with a towel, you are holding the rice stalk, and there are burrs on the rice stalk, don't wipe it directly with your hands, it will make it more uncomfortable."

The other children who were about to wipe the sweat with their hands raised their hands after hearing Xiang Yisen's words, shook the sweat off their heads, and continued to cut!

After persisting for less than half an hour, Da'an also began to yell and feel uncomfortable.

Yu Qing didn't force them to work under the scorching sun for a long time, and they let them rest when they said they were uncomfortable.

If there is one, there will be two, and the next is Zhuzhu and Xiaoan.

After all, Ruan Nan and Ruan Bei are older children. He saw that Ruan Xiuhua was an old man and didn't even yell for a rest.

"Xiao An, sister, look at the fish in that ditch!"

Da'an washed his hands, sat in the shade of a tree by the field and drank cold water. When he was bored, he suddenly found small fish swimming in the ditch next to him.

"Where is the fish?"

The boy who came with a basket craned his neck to look into the ditch when he heard Daan's words: "Hey! I thought it was a big fish. This kind of small fish is not good to eat. There are fishes everywhere in the ditch in our village. There is nothing rare about such a small fish."

Aunt Lu, who was bending over to cut rice in the field, heard her grandson's voice, raised her head and asked loudly, "Xiaozhi, why are you here?"

Xiaozhi turned around and happily raised the basket in his hand: "My grandfather asked me to deliver watermelons to you. He also said that the sun is too hot and it's hot outside. Let everyone go back early to rest, so as not to suffer from heat stroke."

Aunt Lu laughed at herself: "This old man in my family is the most considerate, Mr. Ruan, Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yu, let's go up and have a rest, and eat some watermelon to quench our thirst."

Ruan Xiuhua glanced at the remaining rice, and shook his head: "There is only a little left, and it can be finished in at most ten minutes. Let's stick to it. Wouldn't it be better to go up to wash your hands and eat watermelon after cutting all the rice?" .”

Xiang Yisen nodded: "Then work hard and then rest."

Yu Qing bent down to speed up her hands.

Xiaozhi put down the basket, walked a few steps beside the ditch, and then jumped down, digging the mud with his bare hands.

Da'an asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Xiaozhi held a handful of mud and handed it to Da'an, "Look, loach!"

Da'an took a serious look, there really was a loach hidden in this lump of mud.

He exclaimed: "What a loach!"

"Is there really loach?"

"where?"

Zhuzhu and Xiaoan ran over from under the shade of the tree.

Xiaozhi threw the loach in his hand into the basket, jumped down the ditch again, and continued to search for the loach in the mud.

Xiao An asked curiously: "Brother Xiaozhi, how do you know there are loaches in the mud?"

Xiaozhi smiled and pointed to a small hole: "This kind of small hole is the air hole for the loach. When you find this kind of hole, you reach out and dig down, and the loach is dug up."

He made a demonstration action, and there really was a loach trying to escape in the mud he dug out.

How could Xiao Zhi let it escape, he caught it and threw it into the basket.

The other boys looked at it with bright eyes, it turns out that catching loach is so simple.

"There are a lot of loaches in this ditch, I'm going down to dig loaches!"

"I'll go digging too!"

Xiaozhi raised his neck and flaunted: "It's not fun to dig loaches like this. The most enjoyable thing is to use a flashlight to illuminate the loach and eel at night."

"Photographing loach at night? How to do it?" Da'an's curiosity was aroused.

"At night, loaches and eels will come out of the mud and sink directly to the bottom of the water to rest and hunt. If you shine a strong light on them, they will not move. Taking advantage of this time, we use iron rakes specially designed to catch loach. "

Da'an asked nervously: "Then what? Did you catch the loach like this?"

Xiaozhi laughed loudly: "Of course, if you lift up the iron rake again, the loach will already be stuck on the iron rake."

Da'an was skeptical: "So simple?"

"Easy?" Xiaozhi shook his head: "It's not easy at all. Some people are not skilled enough and can't catch a few in one night. My father and I can catch four or five catties if we go out for two or three hours at night. "

"How many four or five catties are there?" Da'an has no idea about four catties of loach, he just wants to know how many can be caught?

Xiaozhi: "Well, probably a lot!"
