The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 5 People don’t suffer from scarcity but from inequality.
As the saying goes, a young man will eat a poor man.

All the half-grown children in the Li family are very capable of making food. If they were really allowed to eat with open stomachs, they would probably eat twenty kilograms of grain a day, let alone other people.

It's not like a wealthy family can really open their stomachs to eat. Therefore, even when farming is busy, the Li family's meal intake is limited to an average of six steamed buns for men and three steamed buns for women.

Mrs. Yuan is in charge of the family's money and food, but she doesn't have to control the distribution of every meal in her own hands like other people do - one person, one or two, all have to be allocated by her. In her words, she is not that Don't you feel tired when you are so busy?

But she couldn't ignore it at all, so she distributed steamed buns to each table according to the number of people on each table.

For example, Lao Yuan's own table contains four daughters-in-law, one grandson-in-law, and seven granddaughters. A dustpan is about thirty-five or six steamed buns, no more, no less. Everyone eats and cooks number.

The men's table is divided into two tables. The younger Li Ronghua and others share a table of eight people, and the steamed buns are for about five people per person.

When it comes to eating, it's not a problem at all to make five steamed buns. As for whether you'll be full or not, there are too many to eat anyway.

Everything is fine as usual, but today, after Li Rongfeng finished eating five, he reached out and snatched two buns from Li Rongtan's hand, opened his mouth and stuffed them into his mouth. Li Rongtan was the youngest and usually only ate four, and he didn't eat quickly. , who would have thought that they would be robbed of steamed buns, which led to the scene where Li Rongtan cried and howled just now.

When Mrs. Wu heard her son's words, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Feng, if you haven't eaten enough, just ask Brother Tan to share one with you. It's right for a younger brother to be humble to his elder brother. Why do you want to grab it yourself? This is a legend." When we went out, those who didn’t know better thought our house was a bandit’s den.”

She had a smile on her face and a kind tone, as if she didn't blame him at all for snatching her son's food, but no one knew what was going on in her heart.

Huang's face suddenly darkened, "It's not normal for a child to fight over each other? Sister-in-law, why are you speaking so harshly? Who is a bandit? I'm sorry you are not from this family?" What kind of brother should be humble to his elder brother? What!
Wu said: "What did I say? Isn't this all for Brother Feng? If you are used to fighting for food at home, you won't be able to resist it even when you go back to other people's homes. Wouldn't it make people laugh?"

Mr. Huang choked and couldn't help but turn around and glare at his son. A starving ghost knows how to eat when he is reincarnated.

Li Rongfeng was not bothered by his mother's glare. He snatched the bun head and saw Li Rongtan crying. He was afraid that the adults would ask him to give the bun back, so he stuffed it into his mouth with big mouthfuls and finished it in two mouthfuls. At this moment, his cheeks were still bulging, but that didn't stop him from saying vaguely: "He wants to study, but he doesn't know how much food he will need! What if he eats less now?"

"What did Brother Feng say?" Dad Li heard something unclear and couldn't help but speak out.

But Mrs. Huang heard it clearly, and stood up quickly and slapped her son, "Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat! Even the food can't stop your mouth. If you dare to grab food next time, I won't cut you." !”

Li Rongfeng curled his lips and muttered: "You didn't say that."

I didn't hear clearly what he said before, so I couldn't figure out what he was talking about even if I heard the words clearly. His mother also taught him a lesson when he saw his grandson. Although Father Li couldn't stand his grandson robbing his food, But he didn’t say anything more.

However, Wu, who heard Li Rongfeng's words clearly, couldn't help but look at Huang twice.

Shiliu was one of the people who heard clearly. He glanced at Father Li who turned around and continued talking about the work in the fields with his sons, and shook his head slightly in his heart.

As the saying goes, there is no worry about scarcity but not equality. With four-bedroom people and so many grandchildren, only Tan Geer, who lives in the big house, can go to the village school. Even if this is the result of drawing lots, it is inevitable that others will not have other ideas in their hearts.

Not to mention anything else, as far as she knew the third and fourth aunts, they were the ones that Yinzhun was unwilling to accept.

With such a big family living under one roof, there were already a lot of bumps and bruises, but now it seems that there is already a new crack.

Even if there are a lot of people pressing down on the head, sooner or later the seam will be torn wider and wider. If you are not careful, there will be no possibility of sewing it back.

It depends on when it breaks out completely. ——

It took three days to pick the three acres of cotton field, and then it was time to dry the cotton, clean the cotton seeds, and finish the work in the field.

After a small amount of busy work, in a blink of an eye, it’s time to harvest the rice, which is also the busiest and most tiring time of the year.

To say it's a grab, is really not just talk.

It was still dark, so the Li family went out.

It would take two or three days to cut the entire ten acres of rice. This was because the Li family had a lot of labor.

Harvesting with a sickle is purely manual labor, which takes effort and time.

The whole family marched through the village towards the south of the village. Along the way, they inevitably bumped into other families in the village, and the team grew stronger.

Everyone is focused on harvesting quickly, but few people have time to talk and relax.

When they arrived at their respective paddy fields, they put torches on the ridges of the fields. The fields were bright red, and the mountains and plains were filled with human figures.

The people in the Li family who are responsible for cutting the rice are the four sisters-in-law of the Wu family, the Song family, the Huang family, the Jiang family, and the three Li Rongzong, Li Rongyu, and Li Rongwu. The cut rice handles can be held in both hands and placed upside down on the rice stubble. After leaving the field, a clearing was soon cut out.

The four brothers Li Jiren and two brothers Li Rongsong and Li Rongbai carried the two mixing buckets down to the field and put the mixing buckets that were blocking the straw mats. A group of three people took the rice handles in an orderly manner and started mixing the buckets. Shake it hard on the mixing bucket stand inside.

It takes at least a dozen hard swings with one hand to knock off the rice grains on the ears. It can be imagined that Li Jiren and others who are responsible for beating the rice have to keep using their shoulders. The process is indescribable. Not hard.

After the mixing bucket was filled with more than half of the grains, Li Jiren and others who were in charge of the mixing temporarily stepped aside to rest for a while. Li Rongtong and Li Rongchun, who had been on the left and were responsible for bundling the straw after beating the rice, took it. He picked up the basket and came forward to help scoop out the grains from the mixing bucket and put them into the basket.

Then Li Jiren and the others, who had rested for a while, let everyone pick. Some of them picked out a few and brought them back to the big sunbathing area in the village.

At the drying area, Father Li was waiting with his three granddaughters, Li Xiangli, Li Yangtao, and Li Yangmei, as well as Li Rongzhang and Li Rongfeng's grandsons.

They are responsible for spreading the picked rice grains on the drying mat to dry them. During this period, they must first use a grass rake to remove the grass mixed with the rice grains, and then use a wooden rake to turn the rice grains to dry.

The most important thing is to prevent birds or someone's chickens from flying in to eat the rice grains and poop.

Of course, what is more important is to keep an eye on the changing weather.

Things like Tiantongyu like to cause trouble when people are rushing to harvest food. One second it is sunny, and the next second it rains heavily. It catches people off guard and is very annoying.

It is impossible for people to go against the sky. They can only work harder and be ready to harvest the food when the weather changes.

Therefore, the work on the drying ground is also a top priority.
