After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 60 Husband-in-Law Works Well
At noon, everyone came back to eat and rest, and they would not go to the fields until the sun was not so bright in the afternoon.

Everyone went to the ground before dawn. Tired and hungry, everyone just ate their food, and no one spoke.

After he was full, Yang Pei asked about the morning's affairs: "Patriarch, can we really plant and harvest again after this autumn harvest?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Gu Qing stood in the sun wearing a straw hat and turned over the returned rice. , can be planted for two seasons.”

"Patriarch, let me come, the sun is too strong, you should go and rest in the house!" Yang Pei grabbed the rake from Gu Qing's hand and drove Gu Qing back into the house.

There are too few rooms in the house, and there are too many people. I want them to sleep on the bed for a while, but there are not enough beds, so I can only spread last year's dry straw in the main room, and take a nap on it.

In the afternoon, when the sun was not so fierce, the family put on straw hats and went to the fields again.

When the sun is setting, it is a cooler time of the day. The busy people in the fields have no intention of calling it a day, and everyone is harvesting wildly while it is still dark.

Gu Qing called back all the busy people in the field. After a tiring day, they had a meal and a good rest. There were still many things to do after the meal.

Zhu Han put the food on the table and was scrambling all afternoon. He didn't have much time to cook something special, but the food was enough to fill everyone's stomachs.

After eating, I heard the villagers say that the village chief called everyone to have a small meeting. Gu Qing guessed that it was the second rice crop she mentioned in the morning, so she hurriedly took Yang Pei there.

As dusk fell, all the villagers of Gujia Village gathered around the saponin tree.

Lizheng stood on the stone, looking at the villagers below with joy: "After the locust plague, we finally ushered in a bumper harvest. Today is the official harvest of rice. After a tiring day, I know everyone has worked hard. I call everyone to come today." , just two things.

The first thing is that many people must have seen the rice thrashers at Madam Gu's home. Madam Gu said that she also ordered five machines for the village to deliver tomorrow. "

"Hey, Mrs. Gu is really a good person. I saw it this afternoon. The rice thresher is threshing fast."

"That's right, Mrs. Gu's family has many fields but few fields. There are only five acres of paddy fields in total. Half of them have been harvested today. Tomorrow, I think it will be over."

"It's good to have more husbands-in-law, and the work is quicker. If I knew it, I would have found more husbands-in-law."

"How many more do you find? Do you think you have the ability of Mrs. Gu? If you find more, you won't be afraid to starve to death!"

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, Li Zheng hurriedly interrupted: "Everyone be quiet, there will be a rice thresher tomorrow, and the big guys will use it in turn, and the family will use it for an hour. If it is not their turn, hurry up and harvest, don't take turns." We've arrived at your house, and the rice stalks haven't been cut yet.

The second thing, Mrs. Gu said, our climate is good, we can plant the second season of rice, what happened in previous years after paying taxes after the autumn harvest, everyone knows, since Mrs. Gu said that we can plant the second season, then we will kind!
Everyone rushed to harvest and play, then plowed the field and continued to transplant rice seedlings.Trying to harvest again, Mrs. Gu said that the output in the second season will be higher than that in the first season. If you want to be full, you will have to work hard for a few days! "

"What? The second season?"

"I've never heard of it. From generation to generation, we only plant one season. If there is another season, how much more food will be available!"

"That's right, Mrs. Gu has a good idea!"

"Lizheng, where do the seedlings of this second season come from? It takes a month to raise the seedlings, so it's too late!"

Li Zheng was asked such a question, so he could only look at Gu Qing. Since Mrs. Gu could bring it up, the problem of rice seedlings must have been solved long ago.

Gu Qing waved her hand: "Don't worry, everyone, I've prepared the seedlings for you, and you can just give me the price of the grain seeds when the time comes!"

Zhao Dajiang was the first to raise an objection: "I don't want any seedlings. It's tiring enough to harvest once in the autumn. Come twice? Let people live?"

Gu Hui agreed: "Yes, we have a small family. How can we compare with Mrs. Gu? Mrs. Gu's family has a lot of people, and she speaks with ease. She doesn't even look at how tired everyone else is."

Anyway, Li Zheng felt that what Gu Qing said was reasonable, and Gu Qing also told the county magistrate about this matter, and the county magistrate had already informed all other villages, that is to say, this method was approved by the county magistrate. Approval is possible.

Zhao Dajiang and Gu Hui are really two challengers.

Li Zheng said angrily: "This year's tax has already come down, and there is not much food left after everyone pays the tax. If you are willing to plant the rice in the second season, you can go to Mrs. Gu's house to register and get the seedlings. If you don't want to plant it, I will not force it." What do I ask you to do! But, if you don’t have enough food next year, don’t expect the big guys to help! That’s it, the meeting is over!”

The villagers dispersed, and the entire Gujia Village did not calm down. Every household was filled with the sound of flails.

Even knowing that there will be a more convenient and quicker rice thresher tomorrow, the industrious villagers still feel uneasy about putting so much rice in the yard. They have to beat it out overnight and put it in the house, and then move out the threshed rice when the weather is fine and windy Shout out.

The moonlight is so strong that you can see clearly without lighting a torch.

Gu Qing's family didn't have to use the flail so hard to thresh, but even after a day of hard work, the whole family was still exhausted.

Everyone washed up briefly, Gu Qing took Gu Yu and Gu Nuo to sleep in a room, Zhu Han shared a room with four, Tong's six members shared a room with three, and the whole family barely slept.

The sky was dim, but the entire Gujia Village had already woken up.

Voices came from the yard.

"Nuo Nuo, what's the matter with your hair? Why is it so dirty? I said there's mud everywhere on the bed. It turned out that your hair was on it." Gu Qing said angrily, "You didn't know how to wash your hair last night. Why don't you come here and lie down, I'll wash your hair casually..."

Gu Nuo refused: "Elder Sister, I'll be sweating again when I get busy later, so I'll wash it at night."

Gu Qing scolded him: "Then you ate something last night, can you not eat it today? If it gets dirty, you have to wash it, how can you save it for the night and then wash it, come here."

Gu Nuo had no choice but to say, "I'll do it myself."

"Okay, let you lie down and lie down, don't talk too much."

Gu Qing pushed him down on the bench, and there was still half a bowl of shampoo left at home, so Gu Nuo could wash it by himself, but he couldn't clean it after a long time.

She came to wash, and she could wash quickly and cleanly.

Gu Nuo's hair is quite long, and Qiushou's family all use hair ties.The hair tie was untied, and it was thirty to forty centimeters long. The hair was a bit oily, there were mud and grass clippings, and there was a smell of sweat, which was not ordinary dirty.

After wetting her hair, she shampooed it, rinsed it with water, and then took a comb to loosen the knots...

When Mo Li came out of the house, he saw such a scene.

Under the thin morning light, in a corner of the yard, his wife gently combed his younger brother’s hair. There were chickens, ducks, and puppies in the yard, and the surrounding ground was full of rice stalks and grains. Warm.

"Sister, you are so kind..."

Gu Nuo looked at Gu Qing eagerly, and couldn't help sighing.

Mo Li grew up with only the master in his impression, but the master himself is a rough guy, so he doesn't care if he is dirty or not. He didn't think so before, but now, seeing this scene in the small courtyard, he began to envy Gu Nuo, He even wanted Gu Qing to comb his hair.
