In July, when there is another bumper harvest, the boundary of Yangmei Village has become a golden ocean, and the rice is ripe.

Tian’s family originally had 24 mu of land, including [-] mu of paddy fields, and the rest was dry sandy land where peanuts and sweet potatoes were grown. Later, the [-] mu of land that Tian Minyan bought from Xie Lao Er included [-] mu of paddy fields. Many, even the crops are bought together, so that Tian Minyan has a lot more crops to harvest than other people.

"The paddy fields account for more than half of the 40 mu of crops. With our small family members, we can't be too busy." Tian Minyan said to the big guy with her lips pursed: "Besides, after harvesting the crops, we have to plow and sow seeds. The autumn crops are more cumbersome for us to plant this year. I plan to use all the 34 acres of paddy fields to raise fish, and those paddy fields can’t be plowed like in the past, so our efforts will be even greater.”

"I've also thought about it carefully. Harvesting, plowing, planting, and the hundred acres of wasteland waiting, even if there are four long-term workers, we are too busy." Tian Minrui also said: "I have already told the head of the mountain. , I asked for a few days off due to the busy farming season, and read and wrote at home in the evening. I can also be counted as a staff."

In the previous life, schools usually had busy farming holidays. Tian Minyan also agreed with this point. How can one study hard and go to work in the fields at the right time? You still have to hire short-term labor."

"But now it's the busy season, and everyone has to rush to harvest the crops. I'm afraid it will be difficult for young and strong men." Tian Minrui frowned: "It may be difficult even to hire part-time workers."

When farming is busy, few people are willing to help unless the family has no land. After all, crops are the most important thing for a farmer, which represents the ration of the family.

"You can also hold hands with each other." Tian Huairen said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Both Tian Minyan and Tian Minrui looked at him, Tian Huairen smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "Seventh Uncle told me that this year our family has a lot of land and few heads, so we will join hands with each other to harvest crops, and you, Uncle Zhu That’s the same thing, there are a few other people who want to work with us.”

"Really?" Tian Minyan's eyes lit up in surprise. Uncle Qi is Mr. Tian's cousin, and the sister-in-law He Shi in front is his daughter-in-law, so she is also a relative of the same clan.

But if you think about it carefully, it is common for neighbors to join hands to harvest crops. Collect yours today and others tomorrow. This will require more labor and bring back all the crops faster.However, you have to choose a good partner. If you choose someone who is only calculating, if you fail to cooperate, it will hurt your face and the feelings of the neighbors.

And Tian Minyan's family is about to rise, and there are four long-term workers in the family, all of whom are hardworking, and there are only more people who are willing to help her, whether it is to help with personal favors or to climb to the edge of Tian's third house , are a win-win situation.

"Your uncle and the others also said that they first harvested the crops in the past two days, so they came to help us." Luo Shi also said with a smile.

"Is uncle coming too?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened excitedly: "The little cousin must come too."

"Of course it is."

"Well, this way, we don't need to hire short-term labor! Dad, if we want to help, we don't need too many people. I think it's Uncle Zhu, Uncle Qi, and my uncle. Just find another family. If there are too many, it won't work." Okay." Tian Minyan thought for a while and said.

"I think so too." Tian Huairen said, "Except for Uncle Zhu and Uncle Qi's family, I will accept Luo Huzi."

Luo Huzi also has several boys. He is two years younger than Tian Huairen, but he got married earlier. The oldest boy is 14 years old.

"Sure, Dad, invite them here, let's discuss how to harvest this crop and which one to harvest first."

Tian Huairen agreed, and soon invited all the heads of each family.

Of these few families, the Tian family has the most land, because Uncle Zhu runs an iron shop with a small population and the least land. It was just five acres of paddy fields when the family was separated, but Luo Huzi's family has many children and less land. A lot, the total is only eight acres, and the Qishugong's house is a bit more, with fourteen acres.

In this way, those with less land seem to be at a disadvantage, but fortunately, the farmers didn't care too much, and they offered to join hands, and everyone was on good terms on weekdays. When Tian Minyan explained, they all laughed and said If they really wanted to make this clear, then they wouldn't help each other, and put Tian Minyan to shame, feeling like a villain.

Because Tian Minyan's family has a lot of land, and the rice in some lands is not yet fully ripe, and the uncle's family is not so fast to harvest the crops, Tian Minyan said that their family will harvest the crops at the end, and start with the less land.

In this way, Uncle Zhu's crops will be collected first, and then Uncle Luo's Seventh Uncle's crops will be harvested, and lunch will be provided by whichever crops are harvested.

"Well, Third Brother Tian, ​​Uncle Seven, and Brother Zhu, I, you all know about my family, and I don't have much money for scraping. I'm afraid there won't be any good food for me this time." After everything was agreed, Luo Huzi suddenly said in embarrassment.

"Big brother, what's the farmer's business, as long as you can eat enough and have the strength to do your work." Uncle Zhu smiled boldly, patted Luo Huzi on the shoulder and said, "I'm just like that rough steamed bun. Just steam two of them for me and fill a pot of water, and it doesn’t matter if there are others.”

"No, it's not that rich, so I don't care about it." Tian Huairen chuckled.

"We farmer, why are you so fussy, Huzi, you're thinking about it." Seventh Uncle took a puff of dry tobacco and knocked on him.

"Then I will accept it." Luo Huzi clasped his fists gratefully and smiled.

Seeing this, Tian Minyan's mind became active. The most important thing to do hard work is to have a full stomach. Even if farmers eat white rice, they also have a plate of vegetables and pickles. Some people don't see a shredded pork in a month, which is not surprising.

But if you really want to eat meat, it’s not impossible. The pig’s water is also a good thing, and the most important thing is that it’s cheap.It’s just that the people here are not good at smelling, so they don’t like it. Tian Minyan wanted to let the women from several families come, tell everyone about this, teach them how to do it, so that everyone can get a little oily when they do their work. Meat.

With a firm idea, Tian Minyan asked Xiaoxing to go to each house to call for help, and she listed the recipes for her own family to cook.

And such a hand in hand made the relationship between the several families closer and closer, and because of this, Luo Huzi and the other family members will work with the Tian family in the future, getting acquainted with each other, and living more and more.

The next day, Lizheng of Yangmei Village took the men from Yangmei Village to the temple to worship the Land God, and set off a large string of firecrackers to thank the gods and Buddhas for the good weather, and each family officially started harvesting crops and rice.
