It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 12 The End of the Autumn Harvest (The first day of the eighth lunar month)

The next day, at dawn, the Su family siblings were still awake.They were exhausted yesterday, Su Rui didn't plan to wake them up, anyway, the rice had been taken back, all they needed to do was dry and threshed.

As for the ears of wheat that fall in the field, the same goes for them when they wake up.

Su Rui carefully got up, dressed and went to the kitchen, hurriedly entered the space, took a big sip of the undiluted Lingquan, and immediately felt comfortable all over her body, and her soreness disappeared.

Last night, I finished cooking the wild eggs. Su Rui couldn't always say that she could find wild eggs in the mountains, so she couldn't get wild eggs from space anymore.

Su Rui thought to herself, "I still need to find a suitable excuse to take out the eggs and eat..."

I picked up a bucket of water from the space, poured it into the water tank, and filled another bowl of rice, ready to cook rice porridge.

Recently, eating corn mush or polenta every day is really enough.

Seeing the cabbage, radish, leek, and watermelon in the space but not being able to eat them, Su Rui felt like a cat scratching her heart.

"Oh, what a miserable day."

As soon as Su Rui put the rice in the pot, she heard the little girl Su Chennan woke up in the back room. Afraid of waking up her younger siblings, she hurried in, put on her clothes and hugged her out.

"Ah, ah" Su Chennan didn't see her eldest sister yesterday, and danced excitedly.

"What are you, why can't you speak?"

"Big sister, big sister." Su Rui teased Su Chennan.

"Ah, big, big, big." Su Chennan grabbed Su Rui's fingers.

Su Rui was pleasantly surprised, "Yes, it's the eldest sister"

"big, big"

Maybe the pronunciation of sister is difficult for him. At first, he only shouted loudly, but Su Rui was very satisfied, and he would shout "big". Is "sister" still far away?

Su Ying heard the movement, got up and saw that the eldest sister and the younger brother were not there.

"Eldest sister, why didn't you wake me up?" Su Ying walked into the stove, and saw that the elder sister was cooking a pot with her younger brother behind the stove.

"Why don't you sleep more? You were so tired yesterday, so take a good rest." Su Rui pointed to the spiritual spring water she had connected, and said to Su Ying.

"Drink of water."

Su Ying picked up the bowl and drank it.

She never refuted the eldest sister, even if she wondered why she was about to eat, she still had to drink a bowl of water.

Su Ying smacked her mouth, it's a bit sweet, but quite delicious...

The porridge was almost done, Su Rui put out the fire starter.

"You go wash up, drink rice porridge this morning, and don't steam Erhe noodles."

"Okay, ma'am"

Su Rui carried Su Chenrui to the main room, spread straw curtains and mattresses, and put Xiao Chenrui on it to play by herself.

The sun will come out now, Su Rui is going to move the wheat out of the grain room to dry.

Seeing that the eldest sister started to move the rice, Su Qiao also started to move.

At this time, Su Qiao, Su Chen Rui and Su Wan also got up.

The wheat is all bundled and easy to carry.The four brothers and sisters of the Su family were all dried in less than half an hour.

After breakfast, the Su family siblings are ready to go out.Su Chennan was not happy that her elder sister threw him home again, so she burst into tears.

Su Rui sighed. "Hey... don't cry, don't cry, will my sister take you there?"

When Su Chenrui heard that the elder sister was going to take him there, he immediately stopped crying.But the little hands tightly pinched Su Rui's shirt.

"Wan'er, put on your shoes. Let's go to the field together." Su Rui signaled the elder brother to put on the straw curtain.

When they arrived at the Su family's land, Su Chenrui spread the straw curtains under the trees.

Su Rui handed Su Chenrui to Su Wan, and told her. "Take care of my brother, don't let him climb out and fall into the stubble field. It will be very painful..."

"Well, Wan'er will take good care of my younger brother." Su Wan pulled Su Chennan's clothes nervously.

The four Su Rui siblings put on their bibs and went to the ground.

"Miss Rui, why did you bring Chen Nan out in such a hot day?" Aunt Hua's loud voice came.

Su Rui approached. "Auntie, you don't know that when you go out in the morning, Chen Nan is in trouble and doesn't want to be at home. You have no choice but to take it with you."

"Haha, you take him with you day and night, so it's right for him not to see that you are impatient." Aunt Hua looked at Su Chennan and looked at Su Rui from time to time, then she understood.

Gleaning ears of wheat looks relaxed, but in fact it is also very tiring.You have to bend over all the time, the sun in the sky is also shining on the earth passionately, people are going to be roasted...

It was too hot at noon, so the Su family siblings went home.

"My eldest sister decided to pay someone to sow the winter wheat. We are too young to plow the land. If the sowing is delayed, it will affect next year's harvest."

Su Rui felt that she had money at home, so she couldn't spend much coppers to hire someone, and she was so tired of doing it herself, that she might end up in poor health in the future, which would be too bad.

"Listen to Eldest Sister." Su Chenrui and the others naturally had no reason to say no, after all, Eldest Sister was doing it for the good of the family.

After lunch, Su Rui went out to find Aunt Hua.

Su Rui knocked on the door and shouted, "Auntie, open the door."

"Here you are, Miss Rui. Why are you here? What's the matter?" Aunt Hua hurriedly welcomed Su Rui into the room.

"Qin'er, go get your sister Rui a glass of water."

"Hey"

Su Qin got up to hold the water. "Sister Rui, drink water."

"Sister Qin, the needlework is good." Su Rui looked at the small purse Su Qin sewed enviously.

Su Qin said shyly, "I'm only good at sewing, and I'm not good at sewing."

"It's very good, sister, I don't know how to do it yet."

Su Rui remembered the purpose of coming today, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Chang Le, we don't plan to plant the winter seeds ourselves. Can you help us find some helpers? Fifteen cents a day without food."

Su Changle thought for a while, "Your Uncle Chang Ying and I were discussing to sow seeds for you first after we finish our work."

Su Rui shook her head, "Uncle Chang Le, we can't rely on your help for everything. Anyway, we only have three acres of land, and we need four people to plow the land and sow seeds for two days. It's only 120 liters."

Su Changle nodded, "Okay, I'll look for it later."

There are many families in the village with less land and more people. This year's harvest is not good, and many of them went out to look for work and didn't get any work.

"No rush, we'll finish picking up the ears of wheat in the field this afternoon, and we can start working tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." After speaking, Su Rui left without disturbing her rest.

After a busy day, the ears of wheat in the field were finally picked up.

The wheat in the yard was almost dry, Su Rui and her brother rolled the stones, found them, washed them, and prepared to start threshing tomorrow.

At this time, Su Rui missed modern mechanized production.

"Oh... what a miserable day."

Early the next morning, Su Changle brought four uncles from the same village with different surnames.

Su Changle whispered to Su Rui, "Girl Rui, these people are hard-working people, not sneaky people. Don't worry about it..."

"Uncle Chang Le, I believe in you."

In less than two days, the Su family's three mu of land was done.Su Rui pays according to the previously agreed salary...

Among them, Uncle Man Yin said, "Girl of the Su family, next time you need help, you can still find us."

Su Rui smiled, obviously satisfied with them. "Definitely, next year's summer harvest and summer planting will definitely require someone to hire."

The land has been planted, and the wheat at home is almost shed.

Su Rui took a deep breath, the whole autumn harvest was finally coming to an end.
