My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 183 Labor Model
"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang." The sound of the off-duty bell rang in Taoyuan Village.

Wang Xiujuan straightened her bent back, and she thumped her back with her right hand, "My God, I haven't done this job for decades."

Ning Qingxi stood by the field, put his hands around his mouth in a trumpet shape, "Grandma! Dad! Go home for dinner!"

Wang Xiujuan walked out of the field slowly, and was supported by Ning Changrong who caught up with her within two steps, "I said mother, if you don't, you should stop doing it, and you are not bad."

Wang Xiujuan looked displeased, "Why don't you miss me? This grain has to be harvested early, otherwise it won't be able to catch up with the sun, and it won't dry and be stored away, so it won't get moldy? We paid a lot of money for this grain."

Ning Changrong nodded and persuaded, "All right, all you said makes sense. Why don't you change your job this afternoon? You really can't bend over to cut wheat. Don't make yourself tired and get sick. The gain outweighs the loss."

Their tools for cutting wheat were not enough, and many of them were sharpened with stones, which were used for knives at that time.

Naturally, the efficiency couldn't be improved. Even the manpower for building the city wall was pulled out to focus on harvesting the grain first.

Ning Qingxi looked at Wang Xiujuan's tired face with distress, "Grandma, are you alright?"

Wang Xiujuan cheered up and smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's nothing, your grandma used to be in the countryside when she was young, when did she not do farm work?" What she didn't say was that since she was admitted to university to become an obstetrician and gynecologist, I never touched the work in this field again.

In order not to worry her granddaughter, Wang Xiujuan began to talk about her feats back then, "I think your grandma was a labor model when she was in the team, and she had to be rewarded by the commune! What is this little work? It means I haven't done it for a long time. If I’m not used to it, I’ll get used to it once I do it.”

Most of the roads in Taoyuan Village have been paved with cement. At this time, a lot of wheat has been exposed to the sun at the gates of each house.

Avoiding wheat, Ning Qingxi's family returned home. The meal was cooked by Li Dafeng. She was pregnant with twins and her belly was already big. She definitely couldn't go to the ground. Originally, Wang Xiujuan didn't think about what she was doing at home, but let her rest at home , but Li Dafeng couldn't sit still, the whole family went to the field, and she was alone at home, how could she have the nerve to sit and do nothing?

Then she helped cook the meal, and all the Ning family ate at her house.

At the dinner table, Wang Xiujuan asked Tuo Ning's third son, "My third son, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, it's only been two months, you have to watch it carefully."

The third child buried his head in a mouthful of food, "Don't worry, mother, I know, when we are not at home on weekdays, Mrs. Lin will come to help look after Dafeng."

Aunt Lin is the old wife of shopkeeper Lin. Aunt Lin can’t get off the ground. She only does some sewing and mending work on weekdays. She can do it wherever she can, so she simply moved to Li Dafeng’s place. She can chat and do it while she can help take care of her. Li Dafeng, if there is anything, you can call someone for help.

Wang Xiujuan didn't have much appetite, so she put down her chopsticks after eating two bites, "Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind, I'm done eating, you guys continue to eat, I'll go back and have a rest."

After speaking, he got up and left.

Ning Qingxi and Ning Changrong looked at each other in blank dismay, "Father, let me change my job?"

Ning Changrong smiled wryly, "Do you think I'm willing to let her do this job? I've tried to persuade her but I won't listen. Go and see this stubborn old lady. I guess she's hiding plasters. After eating, let her Don’t go in the afternoon, if you really want to do it tomorrow, do other work.”

Ning Qingxi finished her meal in a hurry and left.

When she returned to the room, she quietly walked to Wang Xiujuan's door, and suddenly said, "Grandma, what are you doing? Are you asleep? I have something to ask you."

Wang Xiujuan inside was startled by the sudden voice, "Oh, I'm asleep, you stay later." While talking, she put away those bottles and jars in a panic and put them into the box.

When Ning Qingxi came in, Wang Xiujuan asked with her usual expression, "What's the matter with Xixi?"

Ning Qingxi smelled the smell of ointment in the air, "Grandma, let me see." She pointed at Wang Xiujuan's waist.

Wang Xiujuan looked puzzled, "What are you looking at? Alright, I'm going to sleep now, if it's okay, otherwise you can go back and take a nap, there's still work to do in the afternoon."

Ning Qingxi looked determined, "Don't pretend, baby, I can smell the ointment, so I told you not to do it, you stubborn old lady hurt your waist, right?"

Seeing what was discovered, Wang Xiujuan decided not to quibble, and sat on the bed, "This work is really tiring. When I was young, a woman could do as much as those men, and even if a man can get ten work points, I can do it! "

Ning Qingxi looked like I knew it all, "Grandma, don't you think about your age now, are you the same as before? Besides, you haven't worked for decades and have been working in the hospital."

"My father told you not to go in the afternoon. If you still want to do it tomorrow, you can change to other easy jobs."

Wang Xiujuan didn't want to persist any longer at first, if she continued, her waist might really fail, so Ning Qingxi said that she agreed.

In fact, it’s not that she insisted on doing it. It’s really that in the few days when the wheat was harvested, she told her granddaughter a lot about her glorious past in the countryside. .

"You can't accept it." Wang Xiujuan said with emotion, the ointment on her waist had been exposed anyway, so she simply stopped worrying about face, "Xi Xilai rubbed it for grandma."

Ning Qingxi looked at the plaster on her breast, stretched out her hand to press it, and slowly rubbed it according to Wang Xiujuan's instructions, "See if you still love it to save face."

Wang Xiujuan lay on the bed, trying to be strong all her life. In front of her granddaughter, she has always been a strong, decent and elegant grandma. Unexpectedly, she was stripped of her face during the time travel.

Ning Qingxi said while rubbing, "Grandma, you can just use the wheat thresher tomorrow. Although it is not easy to sit there, it is much more comfortable than cutting wheat."

The wheat threshing machine was researched by Ning Qingxi according to the encyclopedia before the wheat was about to mature, and it has come in handy now, but they lack iron, so the parts in it are replaced by wood.

In this way, the damage rate of threshing wheat day and night will be relatively high, but fortunately, there are more and more carpenter apprentices who are apprentices, and they can keep up with the loss.

"It's really thanks to your threshing machine, otherwise this would be another big problem."

Ning Qingxi felt a little sore in his hands, shook his hands and continued to rub, "It's a good thing we have an encyclopedia, now I feel like I'm going to become an all-around carpenter."

Although she can't do many things with her strength, Ning Qingxi is also learning to make some parts by herself while watching Carpenter Sun doing it. Although she can't be regarded as a successful carpenter for the time being, she is still at the same level as those apprentice carpenters. .
