Chapter 479
For farmers, the summer harvest is a very important event throughout the year.

Therefore, after confirming that the crops in the field were really fully mature, the whole village was boiling.

Every household gets up before dawn, washes up and eats breakfast, and the whole family sets off with all kinds of farm tools on their shoulders.

When they arrived in the field, it was only twilight, but everyone didn't dare to delay at all, and started working immediately.

The young and strong men and women mowed quickly with sickles, and the old crops did not give up.

The older ones, or the younger ones who haven't been on the ground much, the speed will be much slower, but the combination of several people can also achieve considerable results.

As for the young children, they ran back and forth, doing what they could.

Therefore, the adults have to rush to harvest, so the work of cooking at noon falls to the children at home.

Fortunately, the children of rural people have to learn these survival skills since they were young. At this time, they are not afraid of danger. After cooking the meals one by one, they lead their younger brothers and sisters to deliver the meals to the adults in the field with baskets.

Ye Qingqing's family has a lot of land, but the labor force is only two and a half.

One Ye Damao, one Ye Ying, and one Ye Pingan.

Ye Qingqing is a pregnant woman, so she is not allowed to follow the goods.

Jin Jiu's injury hasn't healed yet, so it's definitely not possible to do such physically demanding things.

Under such circumstances, with so much land in the family, they can only rely on Ye Damao, Ye Ying and Ye Pingan.

Ye Qingqing and Jin Jiu were not idle either, they stopped all the family affairs, did the laundry, cooked, cleaned up the housework, and fed the chickens and pigs, all without letting Ye Ying worry about it.

But even so, two days later, Ye Damao was anxious to get angry.

There is so much land in the family, but so little labor force, but God will not wait for him to take it slowly.

Regardless of the bright and sunny weather now, it looks very good.

But this day is subject to change. If it rains before the harvest is over, the hard work of the past six months will be wasted.

Seeing that Ye Damao got angry in a hurry, dark circles appeared under his eyes, and his cheeks became thinner, Ye Qingqing couldn't help feeling distressed.

In the end, Jin Jiu suggested, "Father, why don't you go to the town and find some helpers."

Most of the people in the town are landless, and many people rely on odd jobs to earn money to support their families.

Although the work of harvesting crops is tiring, as long as the wages are paid enough, I believe that some people are willing to come.

Ye Damao was a little moved by what Jin Jiu said, but he was a little embarrassed to do so.

Native farmers have always been self-sufficient whether they carry water and firewood, or farm and hunt.

Ye Damao couldn't accept that he was suddenly asked to find a helper and come back to work.

More importantly, he was afraid that the people in the village would gossip because of this, saying that he had started acting like a landlord before he was doing well.

Seeing Ye Damao's entanglement, Jin Jiu smiled.

"Father, do you think it is more important what others think and say, or the food in the field is more important."

When Ye Damao heard this, he said without thinking, "Of course food is important. No matter what others say, I will not lose a piece of meat."

At this point, without Jin Jiu saying anything, Ye Damao laughed by himself.

Yes!

The most important thing is to fill your own stomach, no matter what others do.
