Farmer's clever woman busy farming

Chapter 227
When Gu Jiujiu returned home, Sister Yuan happily ran to her side on short legs when she saw her, "Sister, you're back, where's your mother?"

"Mother is still beating soap on the ground behind the old house of the Gu family." Gu Jiujiu glanced at Sister Yuan with a smile, and went to the woodshed while talking.

He opened the door and looked, only to see that there were still five large baskets woven with bamboo strips left in the firewood room.After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jiujiu decided to send the five baskets to Yan Shi together.

What kind of temperament is Mrs. Xu?Gu Jiujiu understood very well that even if Mrs. Xu suffered a disadvantage here today, as long as they didn't finish beating the saponins from the three trees together.The next time Mrs. Xu sees her, she will definitely come to beat the remaining saponins again.

Anyway, these saponins are already ripe, Gu Jiujiu thinks it's better to beat them down and put them at home, so as to completely cut off the possibility of Xu's taking advantage of loopholes.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiujiu looked at the five baskets in the room, secretly thinking that it was impossible for her to take them all out at once.However, there is an ox cart at home, as long as she puts all the baskets on the ox cart.Moreover, it is not a problem to use a bullock cart to pull baskets, even if there are a few more.

Gu Jiujiu went to the cowshed and drove the cart to the yard, and went to the firewood house to move the baskets one by one onto the cart.

Sister Yuan knew that her older sister was going to go hunting again, and she watched the chickens around the coop in the yard every day, and the little guy didn't like it that much anymore, so she also wanted to go with her older sister.

Seeing that Sister Yuan was going, Gu Jiujiu saw that the old house of the Gu family was not far from their home, and it would not be troublesome to bring Sister Yuan with her. Without thinking about it, she smiled and agreed, and first carried Sister Yuan on the ox cart After sitting down, Gu Jiujiu sat next to Sister Yuan and drove the ox cart to Gu's old house.

Yan shi hooked the soap horns all over the floor, and watched Gu Jiujiu not only drive the ox cart at home, but also brought Sister Yuan along with her.

Smiling, Yan hurried over to help Gu Jiujiu remove the baskets from the bullock cart.

Since a lot of saponins had already been harvested on the ground and piled up in a thick layer, Yan did not continue to hook with bamboo poles, but helped Gu Jiujiu pick up saponins under the tree.

Sister Yuan is a small person, seeing her elder sister and mother picking up the soap locusts, she also bends down and picks up the soap locusts that fell on the ground first, and then picks them up with her short legs Put it in the basket.

After picking it up for a while, Yan saw that the saponins on the ground were almost picked up, and she took the bamboo pole again and hooked it on the tree.

When the sky was about to darken, Gu Jiujiu and the others had just finished beating the saponins on the three trees.

Although there were only three saponins trees, the six large baskets that Gu Jiujiu and the others brought out were all filled to the brim. In the end, there were still about half a basket of saponins left unfilled. Carrying a hoe and returning from work in her own field, Yan asked Father Mei to take back the leftover saponins.

Father Mei put the remaining saponins into the vegetable basket in his hand, and helped Gu Jiujiu and the others move all the baskets to the ox cart.

Yan thanked Father Mei, and drove the ox cart back with Gu Jiujiu.

They just walked to the door, and before they entered the courtyard, Gu Jiujiu saw Shen Kuo walking out of the house.
