After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 58 The whole family joins the battle (third update)

At about 04:30 in the morning, Qin Yao and Liu Ji got up.

After a good night's sleep, Liu Ji's arms, which he hadn't felt much about yesterday, were sore and swollen, and his legs were heavy. When he went down the steps, he took a breath of cold air from the soreness.

This is how a person who has not exercised for a long time suddenly works vigorously. Qin Yao nodded to express her understanding, then handed the sickle to his hand, "Let's go."

The two simply ate something to fill their stomachs, brought lunch and water, and went out.

Qin Yao was carrying a shoulder pole and a rope, and on her head was wearing a drapery hat borrowed from He Shi, which can not only shade the sun, but also the piece of cloth connected to the chest under the brim can also resist mosquitoes, and only a pair of eyes are exposed on the whole face.

I also wore light shoes and socks on my feet. The trouser legs were all tucked into the socks and tied tightly with straps. With experience, I was well armed this time.

After leaving the village, we walked for almost an hour before we arrived at our destination.

The boundary of this land overlaps with the mountains and forests of the neighboring village. There are also many reclaimed wastelands next to it, which belong to the neighboring village.

When the two arrived, people from other villages had been busy in the fields for a while.

Everyone is not familiar with each other, so there is no need to say hello, and they go out to the fields and do their own work.

Seeing the situation in the field, Qin Yao also understood why Liu Ji brought back as much wheat as weeds yesterday.

Because the land here is covered with grass as far as you can see!

It's surprising that wheat grains can still grow on the land that no one cares about.

Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are. If two mu of wheat is harvested, it should be worth a hundred catties.

Liu Ji had already harvested one acre yesterday. Today, Qin Yao was in charge of binding and transporting the wheat. He went directly to cut another acre of wheat.

Every time Qin Yao took out a bundle, he would carry it back first with a pole.

She walked alone, but her footsteps were much faster, going back and forth every two and a half hours. After two rounds, Liu Ji's wheat was also cut, and she was sitting under a shady tree, eating the food she brought in the morning.

Qin Yao also put down her carrying pole, sat down to eat and rest for a while.

After eating, under Qin Yao's coercion, Liu Ji, who wanted to lie down directly, was forced to get up to help pierce the wheat.

Qin Yao said: "Hurry up, go home early and rest early, it's good for everyone, otherwise don't blame me for being here!"

Liu Ji was too tired to say anything, so he nodded, and the slow movements of his hands obviously sped up.

In the evening, the last two loads were all tied up, and each person picked one but went home, which can be regarded as finishing the two acres of wheat.

Throughout the whole day, the four Dalang brothers and sisters who stayed at home finished practicing calligraphy and did not go out to play.

After lunch, I picked up the wheat that my parents had brought back, picked up the weeds, rubbed the wheat grains with a wooden hammer, and spread them out in the yard to dry.

The four children were even better at these tasks than the two adults, Qin Yao and Liu Ji.

Sanlang and Siniang had managed to keep their tender faces all winter long, and their faces were pricked red by wheat awns and weeds.

But the two didn't complain at all. They followed behind the big brother and the second brother, picking out the weeds bit by bit, and when they couldn't hold them with their little hands, they took them out and threw them beside the firewood shed. These grasses could still be used to ignite the fire.

At dusk, when the sun still had half its face hanging on the top of the mountain, Qin Yao and Liu Ji returned home with the rest of the wheat.

As soon as they put down the burden, they saw Sanlang and Siniang holding the basket and helping their brother to collect the sun-dried wheat, so as not to let the morning dew wet the wheat and dry it in vain during the day.

After picking out the weeds, there were not many wheat ears left, and the two baskets were not full.

Qin Yao scooped up a basin of cold water to wash her face and hands. Seeing the red faces of the four children, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Come here, wipe your faces." Qin Yao asked them to put down the basket, and she would carry it into the house later.

The four children ran over with a smile. Qin Yao scooped up water to wash their hands first, and then filled a basin of clean water to wipe their faces.

Sanlang and Si Niang giggled happily, looked at Qin Yao with big eyes, and called her in a low voice: "Aniang~"

Qin Yao glanced at Sanlang in surprise, the little guy actually followed his sister to call her A Niang.

My heart softened, and I kissed each of these two cute little faces.

Sanlang's face turned even redder and he shyly hid behind his sister, only revealing a pair of bright eyes.

Si Niang dazedly touched the face that had been kissed, and grinned, "hee hee" smirking.

He was always clingy, but now he grabbed Qin Yao's clothes and followed her wherever she went. She also used brown candies as a leg pendant.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other and secretly smiled.

Looking at Liu Ji again, he walked into the kitchen after entering the door, took out the sugar, mixed a bowl of sweet and sour sweet and sour water, drank most of the bowl in one breath, burped, and sat in front of the stove with his arms stretched out. , squinting and about to fall asleep.

Qin Yao couldn't hold back and gave him an old punch!

After following Qin Yao for so long, Liu Ji had already mastered dodge. When the punch came, he turned his head to avoid his face.

But he received a punch on his shoulder, and he fell on his back, fell to the ground, and cried out in pain.

"Still cooking?" Qin Yao urged impatiently.

Maybe it was because farm work was too torturous, and she became even more angry when she saw Liu Ji slacking off.

But Liu Ji lay down on the ground, yelling, but couldn't get up.

In the end, it was Dalang and Erlang who were afraid that their father would be beaten to death by their stepmother, so they took the initiative to bear it.

Liu Ji was very moved, "Da Lang Erlang, I am so lucky to have you as fathers!"

This winter I have eaten well. The nine-year-old man has grown a lot, and he no longer needs a bench when standing in front of the stove.

Da Lang asked Er Lang to help light the fire, and the two young boys started cooking decently.

"Auntie, are you tired?" Siniang asked with concern.

Qin Yao smiled at her warmly and said she was not tired. She walked forward, picked up Liu Ji and threw him into the main room, not bothering to care about him anymore.

Because she was too tired today, and she didn't have the energy to fight wits and courage with scoundrels.

Someone was cooking, Qin Yao sat on a chair to rest with peace of mind, Sanlang and Si Niang squatted beside her, and beat A Niang's legs.

The little hands are not powerful, but they make people feel warm in their hearts. Qin Yao closed her eyes and sighed:

"Another beautiful day!"

Liu Ji, who was lying on the ground unattended: I am tired of saying the word envy!

Dalang and Erlang cooked wild vegetable porridge, which was moderately salty. Qin Yao drank five large bowls.

After a full meal, the spirit returned.

The four children were left with the dishes and chopsticks to clean up. Qin Yao grabbed Liu Ji and went to the yard to separate the remaining wheat and weeds so that they could be spread out to dry tomorrow.

Liu Ji had just received an old punch and became a lot more honest. Enduring the pain, the two of them lit lanterns and worked hard in the yard until the moon was at the top. Only then did they clear up all the weeds and knock down the wheat grains. Go back to your room and sleep.

After a day of farm work, I fall asleep on the pillow, and the quality of sleep is improved.

The sun was very good for the next two days, so the wheat was spread out on old mats to dry. Qin Yao and Liu Ji spent half a day each, taking turns turning the wheat over so that it could dry evenly.

Compared with cutting wheat before, this job now can be described as easier.

After the wheat is dried, the last step left is threshing.

The good news is that the wheat is less than [-] kilograms, just enough to fill two baskets.

The bad news is that the stone grinding for threshing is manual.
