Chapter 8 8. The Busy Farming Begins

Mrs. Hua is really distressed, how much can it take to make up for so much blood, not only the people but also the things.

"Don't worry, children grow up fast, and they will make up for it soon if they eat more." Mrs. Lin naturally picked up flowers and said that the old lady liked to listen.

"I owe you a good word." Hua Pozi returned with a smile.

"It must be, that's right..." Granny Lin glanced at the rhubarb pulling the cart, and then smiled flatteringly at Granny Hua: "Old sister, will your rhubarb be rented out this year? I want to come here to make a reservation."

"The rent is the same as last year's price, but there is one thing that needs to be waited for when my house is finished." Mrs. Hua was not surprised. She knew what she was doing as soon as the old woman came. After all, there are only a few livestock in the village. When the farming season is busy, the queue is full, and they are busy until midnight every day.

There is no way to do this. After all, relying on human labor is not only time-consuming but also labor-intensive. It is too time-consuming. If you have this time, you might as well do more work in the dark and collect the grain from the field early to dry it.

Of course, the price of the folks in the village will not be too expensive, but you can't work in vain, right?

However, this old lady spoke nicely and was a good person. Old lady Hua was still very happy to talk to her and also willing to sell her favor, so she readily agreed.

"I know, I know, so it's a deal. When the old sister's house is finished, let our boss pull the ox cart, and we must be the first one in the queue!" Mrs. Lin urged again worriedly, and left satisfied after getting an affirmative answer.

I thought to myself that thanks to my fast speed, otherwise I don't know where I would be ranked.

As soon as she left, several people gathered around her, all of them came to line up to rent an ox cart, even Hua Laohan, the village head, and Hua Chengtian were surrounded by people.

The same is true for several other households with livestock. The time for the livestock cart is almost full at night.

In this important period, even the stingy people know what is more important, and they are willing to give up these few copper coins when they feel distressed.

Don't underestimate these copper coins. There are more than 200 households in the village. Although not all of them can rent livestock carts, so many households can earn a few silver in a few days.

Or how to say that the rich will get richer and richer, this is the benefit of being willing to invest.

That is to say, the old man Hua's family has two scholars who burn money, otherwise life will be more comfortable.

The number of people in the village who got satisfactory answers also dispersed in twos and threes.

All the way from the village to the ground, the atmosphere has been very good, and there is no phenomenon of extreme cursing and so on that Hua Jin thought.

That's right, they're all busy on their way, and they worry that they won't be able to finish the work in the field. Who would waste time on such an important moment.

As soon as they arrived on the ground, they greeted the surrounding families and told Huajin to guard the bullock cart and eat food under the shade of the trees. After telling them not to wander around, the family went down to the ground without saying a word, wearing hats and holding sickles.

Hua Jin just sat on the ground and watched her family members and people around enthusiastically waving the scythe in their hands. This scene was only seen in TV movies before, and she never thought that one day she would actually be there.

Even if she didn't go to the ground, just watching the scene of sweating profusely made Hua Jin's heart warm up, and she wished she could go to the ground together and contribute her strength.

But just thinking about it, even though she felt that she was almost in good health, her family still regarded her as a fragile porcelain doll, if she really fell to the ground, she would be helping or making trouble.

Think about it, Hua Jin is still sitting obediently on the ground.

As the sun gradually rises, the wheat in the field falls down one by one, and is slowly transported to the ground by the younger brother and the fourth, and Hua Jin also quickly gets up to help.

It is said to be helping, but in fact it is the little brother who is really helping.

Although he was mentally prepared for the ancient yield, Hua Jin couldn't help sighing when he saw the rows of short heads of wheat ears.

The wheat ears are short, not to mention that the main grains are not plump enough, it would be strange if the yield could be increased, and it would be strange if these could fill the stomach, Hua Jin sighed inwardly.

But then Huajin didn't have time to think about it, and spent it in the busyness of helping and delivering tea.

At noon, the family ate lunch on the ground, and then rested for half an hour, followed by another busy day, until the night was dark.

Xu Shi was still in poor health, even though he hadn't done much work, Huajin still felt numb on his face in the afternoon.

In order not to worry the family members, Hua Jin forcibly endured it. One can imagine how tired a person who has been busy in the field will be.

In this way, every day is to prepare the food for the day early in the morning, and then busy all day.

During the period, Huajin felt sorry for everyone who secretly mixed some white flour into the fine grains at home. Every day, they secretly mixed some so that the grandmother and mother who cooked didn't notice. Even the mung bean soup secretly poured some white sugar.

These days, there are more and more explorations of space Zhaizi Huajin. For example, if you open a bag and can’t eat it all at once, the copy function will be suspended until the bag is eaten before you can start copying. This Huajin got from opening a bag of white sugar.

But more can only be explored slowly.

This busy work lasted for a few days until all the ten acres of land at home were harvested and dried, and then the tax was paid before I could breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Hua Jin watched helplessly as her grandfather and father left behind only a small amount of fine grains, and sold all the rest, and put them in the grain cellar at home with money and coarse grains.

Hua Jin silently calculated an account. The family has more than ten acres of land. Even so, the food harvest is only around three thousand to four thousand. With the food intake of the family, the spring and autumn harvests are enough to feed the stomach, but it is difficult to have extra money for the brothers to study.

You must know that no matter what period of time, reading is a costly thing.

Not to mention that more farmers only have a few acres of land, and even a few acres of land do not live on the land other than the rented landowners. Needless to say, life is difficult.
Huajin once again experienced the difficulties of the peasant family, and once again rejoiced that the life of the family was still passable, and it would not be a hell mode at the beginning.

Do you think you can be idle after the busy farming season? Of course not, and then the next crop of grain is planted, which is another busy scene.

With all the work in the field finished, Huajin's injury has basically healed, and the scar on the back of her head has fallen off by itself, and her family is no longer there to arrest her, but the mountain behind the village, which is the culprit of her injury, will not let her go up for a short time.

Looking at the towering mountains behind the village, to be honest, Hua Jin is really eager to try.

Autumn is the time when the harvest is full of fruits. There should be a lot of good things on the mountain. As the only one in the family who eats for free, she still wants to do something for the family, not just light a fire and help pick a vegetable or something.

And watching Xiao Si help the family with the housework every day, only she did the least, and always felt guilty.

Although helping the grandma tie knots can earn a little money, it can be said that if it is a small money, it is really a small money. It is far behind Shu Xiu who wants to earn enough to go to school for the fourth grader.
