Chapter 59 Harvesting Rice During Summer Vacation (Fifth Watch) (Happy New Year's Eve!)

Chapter 59: Harvesting Rice During Summer Vacation (Fifth Watch)
The days are so unhurried.

Soon Xiao Jinli ushered in the summer vacation.

The two-month vacation, for children in the city, enroll in a cram school or interest class, this day is over.

But for rural children, summer vacation means playing, but at the same time, it also means working.

Summer vacation is also a busy season for farming. Harvesting watermelons, cutting rice, transplanting seedlings, pulling peanuts, digging sweet potatoes, etc., all kinds of harvests require a lot of manpower and time.

Therefore, unless the family is particularly doting on children, the children generally have to go to the ground to help.

As for Xiao Jinli, well, it can be said that the family is very doting, but the whole family knows that although they dote on Xiao Jinli, Xiao Jinli is a sensible and well-behaved child.

Their family doesn't grow many crops, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes, and they don't grow much. If the family harvests it, it will be harvested soon, so Dad Xiao didn't ask to harvest it together.

However, the family is busy, and she is the only one who is idle. She is loved by her family, but she also loves her family. Therefore, she also wants to participate in the labor at home. The family works together, even if it is tired. Also happy.

Therefore, every time the busy farming season is busy, Xiao Jinli participates without exception.

Xiao's family doesn't have much land, and the rice is more than an acre. Xiao's father hired seven or eight people to cut it, and it can be done in half a day. Xiao's mother and Xiao Jinli did not participate in the rice harvest.

The place where the rice is dried, Dad Xiao and Brother Xiao, have already taken care of it, cleaned it up, and waited for the rice to be taken back, and poured it in to dry.

Mother Xiao is cooking at home.

Although they hire people to work, they also include a lunch, no matter if they work for a day or half a day.

If it is someone else's work, it will be finished in half a day. Most people choose not to go to the owner's house for dinner, but to go home for dinner.

But no one would refuse to go to Xiao's house for dinner.

Because Xiao Jinli's mother is so good at cooking, her cooking skills are praised by the whole village.

Normally, no one would be ashamed to come to eat at the door. Now that they have an opportunity, those who would refuse are fools.

Mother Xiao was cooking, and Xiao Jinli was helping.

She didn't inherit Xiao's mother's talent for cooking. The food she made was either salty or bland and still edible, and the food that couldn't be eaten was either burnt or half-cooked, so it was impossible to eat at all.

Therefore, in terms of cooking skills, Xiao Jinli obviously followed Xiao's father.

Xiao Junxuan was on the contrary. His culinary talent must have been inherited from Xiao's mother. Although he could not compare with Xiao's mother in cooking, compared to others, it was quite good.

On this day, the Xiao family harvested rice.

The people who asked to work were all from the main village of Xiaojia Village.

It was still daylight, and Xiao Changchun and others who were invited to work went to the field early with work tools.

It's early, the weather is not hot, and it's easy to work.

Finish work early and go home early.

The Xiao family only has such a small amount of land, and they have invited seven or eight people, who can finish the work in one morning.

Harvesting rice now requires a lot of labor. A small scythe is used to cut the rice, and a threshing machine is used to step on it. After harvesting the rice grains, the straw is tied up one by one and tied up. After the rice is harvested, it is picked up in a spacious place. The vacant land is dried in the sun, and then piled into haystacks, which can be stored and fed to cattle for a long time.

Especially in winter, when everything is depressed and there is no trace of green, these straws are the main food for cattle.

"Wan Shan's house is just so small, we'll finish this job in a while. I'm too embarrassed to go to his house for lunch after finishing the job so early." Xiao Changchun stepped on the threshing machine, and the machine buzzed. , and did not cover up his loud voice.

"Since it's embarrassing, then you don't want to go. Anyway, no one said you were not." The villager next to him immediately smiled and said, "Anyway, I went. Usually, the delicious food in his house can attract slanderers. Now that I can finally look forward to having a meal, I'm not welcome."

"Me too. Wanshan hires people to work, and they come in rotation. It's finally our turn today, so I won't give up the chance to go to his house for dinner."

"Haha, it means that Xiao Wanshan is too polite. We do such a small job, what kind of wages are we going to pay? We can just go and have a meal."

"Actually, we don't want his salary at all. I'd like to go to his house for two meals in exchange for this salary!"

"I don't think you should even think about it. I didn't see how Xiao Wanshan hurts Xiaofang. He can cook a meal for you and let you have a good time. Eat two more meals to make Xiaofang tired." I'm afraid Xiao Wanshan would rather pay his wages than let you go to his house for dinner in the future."

"Haha, that's true. Xiao Wanshan usually loves his wife, and cooking a meal for more than ten people is so tiring, so he must be reluctant to let her be tired."

"Xiaofang is really lucky. She has been married to Wanshan for more than 20 years, and Wanshan still loves, pampers, and loves her like a child. If Xiaofang hadn't insisted on cooking for the family before, she probably would have cooked like this Xiao Wanshan took care of all the work. But I heard that Xiaofang insisted on cooking by herself because she disliked Xiao Wanshan's cooking.

"However, when Xiao Wanshan first pursued Xiaofang, he tasted her cooking and fell in love with it crazily. Later, he pursued violently. At first Xiaofang's parents disagreed, after all, Xiao Wanshan's family was too poor. However, it is not because of Xiao Wanshan's stalking that Fang's parents can't resist, so he agreed to his daughter to marry him."

"Haha, speaking of it, Wan Shan used to be a bit of a hooligan and hooligan, but he changed his ways after meeting Xiao Fang."

"By the way, this kind of love can really change a person's life. I used to think that if Xiao Wanshan didn't fall in love with Xiaofang at first sight, would he have gone all the way to the end?"

"It's really possible. Who would have thought that the ruffian Wan Shan would be a wife-loving maniac. Tsk tsk, but Wan Shan is good-looking, capable, and has a real temperament. Otherwise, no matter how much he stalks Fight, it's impossible for Xiaofang to fall in love with him."

"Xiaofang was a great beauty in ten miles and eight villages back then. The boys who pursued her could fit in several trucks. There were plenty of rich, powerful and handsome men, but she also fell in love with Xiao Wanshan. Back then, she My parents were very angry."

"Fortunately, they are handsome men and beautiful women, and they are in love with each other. Otherwise, Xiaofang's parents would be even more angry."

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Wanshan didn't expect that his love history would become the topic of discussion when he just went home to bring some hot water.

However, the love story between him and his wife is always mentioned, so it doesn't matter anymore.
