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

432 Chapter 433

Lin Lan bent over and kept swinging the sickle, the jagged rice leaves slashed across the back of her arms and hands, leaving red marks on the back of her fair hands and face, which made her a little startled.

Lin Guoliang put the millet in the mixing bucket into the basket, picked it up with Li Xiangyang and walked back.

Everyone pulled the mixing bucket forward, and Zhou Dashan said to Lin Lan: "Xiao Lan, follow Xiangyang to pick the millet back and spread it out to dry."

"I don't know how to dry millet." Lin Lan smiled and said to Wu Shuqun, "Auntie, go back and have a look."

The sun in the autumn harvest is always poisonous and hot. My aunt and two cousins ​​came to help with the autumn harvest. As the master, she worked dishonestly, and it was really not good to sit around.

Wu Shuqun smiled and said, "Lin Hong and Xiaojun are here, we will go back after cutting this field."

Lin Zhang wiped off the sweat with a towel around his neck: "Xiao Lan's cutting speed is not bad, much better than before."

Lin Lan put away the harvested corn, turned her head and glanced at him triumphantly: "Dad, you forgot! Last year I mowed the cow grass for more than half a year, and it has been practiced for a long time."

Lin Guodong jokingly said: "Fortunately, I've practiced, I'm afraid you'll cut your finger!"

"Second brother, you underestimate me!" Lin Lan looked at him with a smile, "I bought more than a dozen catties of melons and came back with two big watermelons. Later, you pick the millet and let Xiao Hong hang the water well Here, it’s just right to call it a day and go back to eat.”

He likes to eat yellow cantaloupe the most, and he can eat two or three at a time.

Lin Guodong took the grain handle and slapped it on the wall of the mixing bucket vigorously, and took off the grains on the handle three or two times, and then said loudly: "The cantaloupe from the well is delicious, the refrigerator is too cold, and I have diarrhea after eating it." .”

Zhou Shisong put the tart clean grain grass upright beside the mixing bucket, and said with a smile, "I think it's delicious after being frozen, and it makes my heart feel cold after eating it."

Wu Shuqun said: "I also made a basin of ice powder this morning, hung it in the well, and called your cousin to pick it up when the work was over."

"okay!"

Everyone was talking, but the movements of their hands didn't stop for a moment.

Li Xiangyang and Lin Guoliang carried the millet back home, and dumped the millet in the basket into the yard: "Xiaohong, quickly spread it out to dry."

The scorching sun scorched the courtyard dam paved with cement.

Lin Hong ran out of the house: "Dad, brother and Xiaoqing went to pick up fish."

Lin Guoliang put away the Luodou: "Don't worry about him, I'll treat him to fried pork with bamboo shoots when he comes back."

Seeing Lin Hong struggling, Li Xiangyang said, "Brother, Xiao Hong will definitely not be able to dry the millet by herself, so go and ask someone to come back to dry the millet."

Lin Guoliang nodded: "Okay, I'll push her away."

"Xiaohong, give the grain rake to uncle."

Li Xiangyang took the grain rake in Lin Hong's hand, and together with Lin Guoliang, they pushed the grain pile away in two or three strokes.

The grain rake is very similar to the nail rake of the second senior brother, but it is made of wood.There is also a kind of grain rake whose handle is made of moso bamboo, also called grass rake, but the rake teeth are made of thick iron wire.

The grains that have just been retrieved are very watery, and there are a lot of straw mixed in them.Bamboo-toothed grass rakes cannot move the straw mixed in the grains, and iron-toothed grass rakes are needed to rake out the weeds inside.

Lin Guoliang told Lin Hong: "The sun is shining today, turn over more diligently." After saying that, he and Li Xiangyang carried baskets and left.

When the two returned to the rice field, Lin Guoliang said to Lin Lan and the others: "You go back to dry the millet separately. Xiaohong is weak, and I'm worried that she can't dry the millet well."

Lin Lan said to Wu Shuqun: "Auntie, you go back to dry the millet."

Wu Shuqun took a look at the red marks on her face, and said with a smile, "Go, we don't like drying millet."

Xu Hongju also said: "Xiaolan, you should go back, Xiaofeng and I are afraid of your family's prosperity."

Lin Lan had no choice but to nod, and said with a smile: "It's hard work for aunt and cousin, I'll go back and be lazy."

Everyone laughed.

Li Xiangyang glanced at the mark on her face, quickly waved the handle in his hand, and slammed it on the wall of the barrel vigorously.

Lin Lan walked back quickly, and saw a few children in the nearby rice field catching grasshoppers (locusts) around the rice field.

The oily grasshoppers with thick blue legs are the children's favorite. They string the caught oily grasshoppers with barnyard grass, and burn them in the fire when they go home to eat.

When I got home, I saw Wangcai lying at the gate of the courtyard, panting for breath with his tongue sticking out from the heat.

Walking into the yard, I saw Lin Hong clumsily holding a grain rake, raking hard, and stepped forward with a smile: "Go to the shade to rest, and give the grain rake to my aunt."

Lin Hong wiped off her sweat: "Sister-in-law, it's so hot to sun-dry the millet!" In the past in Shilian, there was only a little millet in the family at home, and my parents dried it.

Lin Lan nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's hard to be a farmer, study hard, and it will be great to work in an office like Uncle San in the future."

"Hmm!" Lin Hong glanced at her, "Sister-in-law, your face was cut by a straw, I'll pour some hot water for you, and you can wash it off."

"Okay, I'll go when I'm done."

Lin Lan spread out the pushed millet and raked it evenly in the courtyard dam.Then use a grass rake to rake the straw mixed in the grains, and push the grains thin to dry.

The sun-dried millet must be spread very thinly to be able to dry quickly and thoroughly.

Lin Lan carried the grass rake and grain rake to the veranda, and Lin Hong hurriedly brought her a cup of tea: "Sister-in-law, drink a bowl."

"Good boy!" Lin Lan took it, "Where did Xiaojun go?"

Lin Hong pointed outside: "I went to pick up the fish with the bag."

Lin Lan thought of her nephews who were tanned like loaches, and said with a smile, "Every day is like a water monkey."

Lin Hong pouted: "When my grandma left, I told them to help me dry the millet at home, and they got up and ran away."

Lin Lan scrubbed it and said with a smile: "Stop pouting, go to the vegetable field with my sister-in-law to pick a winter melon, and bring it back to the stewed winter melon cup for you to eat at noon."

"Winter melon cup?" Lin Hong shook her head, "I've never eaten it, so it's delicious?"

"It's delicious, put meat balls, ham, dried mushrooms, wax gourd in it, and stew it in a separate pot, the taste is gone!"

"I'll get the knife." Lin Hong ran back to the kitchen to get the kitchen knife, and followed Lin Lan to the vegetable patch.

The sunflowers on the edge of the vegetable field are blooming brightly, and they are still blooming.

Lin Lan picked some eggplants to make cold eggplants, picked a handful of Chaotian peppers, a handful of Qinghai peppers, pinched a handful of cilantro, pulled out a handful of shallots, and a few stalks of green onions, and put them in a basket.

The homemade rapeseed field is so convenient, and the side dishes are almost all freshly picked and cooked.

Underneath the green sea pepper leaves of the two vitex, there is a dazzling red color. After the millet is taken back, it is time to make watercress.

Lin Hong pointed to the bamboo frame: "Sister, let me pick some string beans and stir-fry the rotten pork string beans, how about stir-frying cowpeas?"

"it is good!"

Lin Lan walked to the melon rack, picked two of the four or five catties, carried them back to the eaves of the porch, went into the house, grabbed some dried mushrooms and soaked them in warm water.

After coming out of the kitchen, the millet in the yard can also be turned over.

First use a grain rake to level the surface, push the grain over and then roll it back to spread out.

　The cat was in poor health when he was a child. Every time the millet was harvested, his parents would leave the cat at home to dry the millet. It was really tiring to dry the millet, and it was very itchy when the grain shavings stuck to his body. The sun was also very strong, and the skin could peel off two layers of it. kind.
