Chapter 262 Harvesting Sunflowers

"it is good!"

The winter in Northeast China is really cold, with temperatures below zero during the day.

If you want to decorate a new house, such as painting the walls and floor, it is really not possible.

Most people wait until spring comes and flowers bloom before they start to get busy.

It’s the same for them. It’s a big deal to get the big barrel built this year.

Soon, the weather cooled down.

After an autumn rain, the school was on holiday for ten days.

The wheat harvest holiday is mainly for allowing children to come back and help.

This holiday is basically available in rural areas these days.

They are in a team here, so the management is not that strict.

Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhili were quite happy and got along well with everyone at school.

Xu Zhiwei didn't cause any trouble. If she was occasionally seen, she would just say a few sarcastic words.

The two children ignored her, and over time, she felt bored.

That "system" should also make her calmer.

The current situation is not very favorable for her.

If she knew what was going on, she should bide her time and try to calm down.

During the ten-day holiday, the children were the happiest, including Xu Zhiyi.

Qingzi and Xizi were gone for about five days before they came back, just in time for the autumn harvest.

I don’t know if it was Qiao Yiqi who instructed him to come back to help.

The first is the sunflowers on the terraced fields. Since I planted them, I have only weeded them twice when I was a child.

As for the remaining households, no one has taken care of them.

However, Liu Yunshuang would come over occasionally to check on the plants and see that they were growing well.

This year, it seems that the harvest here is good.

With good weather and good harvests, we can make up for last year's deficit.

"Yunshuang, why are there so many sunflowers?"

"Well, these are sunflowers. Once we harvest them, we'll have a source of oil for next year."

"I have never seen oil pressing. You must take me with you later."

Qiao Yiqi said this with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

"Okay, you're always with me, so we'll definitely go together."

After saying that, I didn't feel anything was wrong.

The people around him all laughed.

“Oh, sister-in-law, I know you have a good relationship.

There is no need to show off your love all the time, I eat a full meal in the morning. "

"That's right, sister-in-law, please introduce a partner to us brothers."

"Hahaha, you still need me to introduce you.

I heard from the lady on the team yesterday that she wanted to introduce her niece to you."

Xizi is a natural mood-maker and can get along well with many people.

As for the aunties in the team, they were completely coaxed into running around.

"That's not reliable. I just believe what my sister-in-law introduced to me."

Before she could say anything, Qiao Yiqi gave her a look and Xizi shut up.

"Yun Shuang is so busy every day, how can you still be so embarrassed?"

Then, he turned around again, his tone gentle.

"Okay, let's get to work!"

"it is good!"

Sunflowers need to be cut from the bottom with a sickle, and then the heads can be cut off.

All the flower discs are transported back and dried.

The straw can just be left to dry in the field. When it is dry, it can be collected and used as firewood.

Several men are the main labor force, and each one is faster than the other.

She followed suit and was no less skilled.

Several children took small baskets, put the flower discs in the bags at the edge of the field.

It took only half a day to finish the two stages. During the process, I ran into Du Ruohong and her two children.

They also planted some sunflowers here, but mostly corn.

"Sister-in-law, why are you the only ones here?"

Logically speaking, autumn harvest is a big job, and Xu Lanjiang has to come here anyway.

He is the main labor force. No matter how much they quarrel, they still have to work!

"Humph, we are naturally outsiders, and we have to help others do their work."

Oh, this is quite irritating.

"Second Aunt, what you said is so ridiculous.

My grandma asked my dad to help harvest the land, and she did nothing herself.

Not only that, he also asked me to take back all the properties from my second uncle and third uncle’s houses.

We haven't even finished our own, why should we be so strict with theirs?"

Xu Zhixin was also extremely angry and almost swore.

"It's okay if the old lady doesn't go out, but she will at least cook something for her, so don't be angry.

Now that there is no one else at home, we can only rely on him."

"Just do some work, and I won't say anything.

She actually wanted us to go there and work as free labor. I don’t know what she was thinking.

How much I'm against her, can't you see that? "

Du Ruohong was also very angry. Old Mrs. Xu was always like this, and she knew about it today.

"Don't think too much, just do it."

Naturally, she wouldn't say much. After all, she couldn't help with the work.

"I was thinking that after we're done here, I'd help you clean up.

This time, it seems like it’s going to be tough enough.”

Du Ruohong felt that they had all received a lot of benefits from Liu Yunshuang, so it was only natural for them to help with some work.

There are so many people in the team, such as Li Yuelan and Li Shuixian, who have a good relationship with her. Why not ask them to deliver the vegetables?

It’s because I take special care of her. She should be grateful.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, you guys go about your business.

There is a lot of land, and I understand that.”

Liu Yunshuang really didn't need it. There were five or six acres of vegetables at home. Even if she added those from the third master and the third aunt, she could handle it all.

Besides, Qiao Yi can ask a few people for help.

If she really can't handle it, she will hire someone.

The few of them didn't chat for long and just went back to work as they couldn't leave the house without someone.

When we pulled it back for the first time, we let a few children go with us.

The sunflowers have small thorns and they can't wear gloves, so it's a good opportunity for them to go back and watch the house.

The remaining four adults also finished in a short while.

Xu Zhiqing was not idle either. After returning home, she started cooking.

Everyone was busy and didn't come back for lunch.

Besides, we went out early in the morning, so we decided to discuss it after we finished it.

She got up early and made some dough to make steamed buns.

I went to the garden to pick a lot of vegetables and prepared them. I would cook them as soon as someone came back.

It was finished at about three o'clock. It took four carts to cover the entire yard and the flat ground at the entrance.

"Mom, look, the sunflowers are ripe this year."

This is fresh and can be eaten directly.

Although it is smaller than melon seeds, it is also a small snack.

Liu Yunshuang also took a few and put them in her mouth.

"It's really good. This year, all of these are dried and can produce a lot of oil."

“Yeah, I guess we can’t eat it.

Mom, we can sell the remaining ones when the time comes."

Ever since their last success selling wild vegetables, the two kids feel like they can sell anything.

The only thing I care about is making money.

"There aren't that many. Besides eating for ourselves, we have to leave some for your Third Grandma's family, so there won't be much left."
