Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 431 Chapter 432

Li Xiangyang put the wrapped lucky papers in the basket, and said to Lin Lan: "After Gu Zi takes it back, Dou Zi will take the entrance exam."

"Yeah! He's full of confidence. I think he's a little younger, and I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up."

Lao Li put down the wooden hammer and said, "Lin Lan, calm down, Douzi has a good brain and good memory, so don't worry!"

The mid-autumn festival is after the half of July, and I have to prepare materials to make moon cakes. "

"I heard from my elder brother that Jinjiapingzi sent mountain goods?"

"Well! I sent them a few days ago. They sent a lot of dried mushrooms and vermicelli. They said that they would send beans and pumpkins after July and a half. They also collected some wild bees in the mountains and brought them back. They can pick them this time. Honey, and said to bring it to me next time."

"There are a lot of things that can be sold in the mountains, and it's useless if you can't give them away." Li Xiangyang looked at Lin Lan with a smile, "No wonder you once said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads."

Lao Li smiled and said, "Xiao Lan is right. If a tractor can be built in Shishanling, the grain can be sent to them, and the mountain products can be sold for money."

Lin Lan recalled that time when she went to Shishanling, and she still had lingering fears about the narrow path up the mountain: "Yes, the road in the mountain is really difficult, not to mention the twists and turns, and there is still a cliff below, and even the bones can't be found if you fall down. "

Li Xiangyang also remembered the way her feet were weak from fear last time, and said with a smile: "I just came out of the mountains, so I'm not as good at walking on mountain roads!"

Lin Lan squinted at him: "You are Master Li, but I am not."

The three of them wrapped and wrote all the blessing papers before packing up their things and resting.

On the day of July and a half, Lao Li took Li Xiangyang and three people to burn blessing papers for relatives and ancestors. While burning the papers, he muttered, asking relatives and ancestors to bless their family in a smooth manner...

On the morning of July [-]th, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang rode their bicycles through the alleyway of the vehicle factory, passed by the eucalyptus forest, and saw several old pumpkins on the pumpkin vines beside the forest.

After leaving the eucalyptus forest, I saw that the rice fields on both sides of the road were already golden.

The autumn wind is rustling, the heavy ears of rice fluctuate rhythmically in the rice fields, and bursts of rice fragrance come oncoming.

The two speeded up and pedaled their bicycles to the door of Lin Lan's house, only to see that people were busy harvesting the rice fields.

The millet reaper swung his sickle quickly, only to hear the sound of reaping and reaping, and then laid down the rows of grain handles.

Two ten-year-old children picked up the rice handles and handed them to the adults standing in front of the mixing bucket. With the sound of "dong dong", grains of rice shook into the mixing bucket.

Lin Lan saw that the field behind the old lady's house was already occupied, and said to Li Xiangyang, "We are late."

Li Xiangyang checked the time: "It's 06:30, go early tomorrow."

The two of them pushed the car into the yard, and the yard had been swept clean, there was no clothes on the clothes rail, even the handkerchiefs were collected, and they were waiting to pick the millet to dry.

Wangcai wagged his tail enthusiastically, and crawled under the feet of the two of them.

Lin Lan pointed to the meat and big bones in the back: "Be good, I bought you a big bone today." She always felt that this guy could understand people's language.

Wangcai looked up at her and barked twice.

Li Xiangyang rubbed its head: "Take a good look at the house, we went to threshing millet."

Lin Hong heard the noise and ran out of the house: "Sister-in-law, little uncle, my father and grandfather have already gone, and Xiaojun and I stayed at home to dry the millet. Grandma, my mother and second aunt went to the restaurant. I’ll be back at noon. Auntie and the others are here to help.”

Lin Lan nodded and smiled, "Good boy! There are fruits and vegetables in the bag, you carry them in, and put the meat in the Shakei to dry out."

She bought ten catties of cantaloupe, two large watermelons, and some meat dishes.

"Hey! You guys bring the tea here by the way." Lin Hong said and walked towards the kitchen.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang followed to the kitchen, and saw that the bucket was full of black tea.

Lin Hong took a porcelain jar and put it inside: "I just wanted to ask Xiaojun to get up and carry it with me."

"You are at home, sister-in-law and uncle will carry it over."

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang picked up the bucket and went to the big field behind the old lady's house. They saw a piece as big as a mixing bucket in the middle of the field, which fell down because of the strong wind a few days ago.

Lin Changyou was also worried that the heavy rain would cause the lodging millet to germinate.

I saw Wu Shuqun and his two daughters-in-law bowing their bodies, pulling rice with their left hand and holding a sickle in their right. They swung the sickle quickly, and rows of grain were neatly arranged in the field.

The fence above the mixing bucket is useless on the field ridge, and the four corners of the mixing bucket are Lin Guoliang and Zhou Shitou brothers.The four of them waved the grain handles rhythmically, "Dong Dong, Dong Dong" and slapped the millet.

Lin Changyou and Zhou Dashan were helping to pass the grain handles, and they were also busy tying the grain and grass.

The straw was turned in the sun for two days, revealing a touch of golden color. Taking advantage of the fine weather, the straw was picked home and piled into the woodshed.

Grain and grass are used a lot these days. The best sun-dried grain and grass are used to pick seedlings, make bed boards, feed cattle, and be used as firewood.

The two put down the tea bucket, and Lin Lan said to Lin Guoliang and the others: "Dad, brother, the tea is here."

Lin Changyou turned his head and glanced at her: "Just put it there."

Lin Lan took a sickle in the basket, and handed a straw hat to Li Xiangyang, put on another one herself, and went down to the field towards the rice stalks.

Li Xiangyang said to Zhou Shisong: "Little cousin, take a break, I'll come."

Zhou Shisong smiled and shook his head: "Cousin-in-law, it's okay, I've only been here for half an hour."

Lin Changyou waved to Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, come and help pass the grain, and I'll tie the grain and grass."

"Okay." Li Xiangyang took Lin Changyou's place.

Lin Lan walked to the rice stalk, smiled and said to Wu Shuqun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Auntie, cousin, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Xiaofeng and Xu Hongju smiled and shook their heads: "It's not hard." After saying that, they bent over and started to work neatly.

Wu Shuqun straightened up and said with a smile, "What's so hard about this job? This year's production is good, and the ears of rice are long!"

Lin Lan blushed and said, "I haven't visited twice, it's my father and brother who are in charge."

Wu Shuqun said with a smile: "You old man and brothers, what are you embarrassed about? Besides, they are much better at doing farm work than you."

"Hmm!" Lin Lan bent down and cut quickly.

The sickle for cutting millet is different from the one for mowing grass. The shape of the knife is very similar to a crescent moon, and the blade is the same as a sawtooth. The local people also call it a saw saw sickle.Every year before the sickle is opened, it must be sent to the grinder to open the sickle.

It didn't take long for the sun to come out, and the autumn tiger was particularly fierce. It was burning and painful on the bare skin of the harvesters in the rice fields.

Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to wipe off their sweat. They all wanted to take the millet back quickly, and dry it after two or three sun exposures while the weather was fine.

Don't take advantage of the good weather to dry the millet in the sun. In case of rain, the millet will be covered and germinate if it gets wet.That kind of millet was not distributed as public grain.
