Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 46
"It takes the same time to do it by yourself and others to do it together. Why bother, there's no need." The second master of the Hong family said lightly. The owner disliked him in various ways behind his back, his self-esteem was wounded, and he no longer cooperated with others.

There are only a handful of people who know about this matter, so the family members think it is just the eccentricity of the second master of the Hong family.

Seeing that the second master of the Hong family was like this, Hong Hao'an didn't even think about persuading him, but he decided in his heart that he should talk to his wife after returning home, don't work too hard, and make himself tired.

Harvesting in summer is really hard work. You have to go to the fields when the sun is low, and work hard when the sun is not high. Cutting rice is not an easy job. Let alone the paddy fields, there are all kinds of weeds and bugs After cutting a crop of rice, it is likely to poke a nest of ants, and then there are all kinds of caterpillars, bedbugs, locusts, moths, etc., flying around, and the grass powder falling on the body is all kinds of itchy .

In short, it is not so easy to be a farmer.

Pu Huang took a cloth scarf and wrapped it from head to neck, and tied his trouser legs around his ankles instead of rolling them up above his knees like men do.Bending over to cut rice in the field, the whole back is warmed by the sun. After a whole day of work, when I lie on the bed, my bones can make a crackling sound, and I am so tired that I don’t want to move.

The intensity of farm work is completely a piece of cake for Puhuang. If this is her own field, her speed will not be suppressed, but look at it now, Hong Erye stopped to smoke after a while, Hong Haobao knew how to cut the rice, so he stood up straight to fan the wind, or catch loaches and snails.

Hong Haoping was very serious and worked hard, while Chen's speed was very slow and even, and she was hardly seen straightening up. Wu, when Mr. Hong was threshing the rice, she handed over the rice. Gossip over there or scold the two daughters-in-law who are working in the field, very leisurely.

At such a speed, if you cooperate with others, it will not piss them off, and it is thanks to the second master of the Hong family who knows himself.Pu Huang pouted, her speed was a little behind Hong Haoping, she picked a piece of land by herself, but her speed was not fast, and she also carried a small cloth bag of snails, and when she went back, she spit out the sand, and it was a good dish after frying.

After encountering the apocalypse in her previous life, Puhuang has given up her habit of procrastinating and procrastinating. She can't be said to be swift and resolute, but she is also very agile. Now this situation makes her very uncomfortable, and she always feels like her whole body is tied up. ,how should I solve this?
While thinking about this picture, Pu Huang harvested the rice unconsciously, at a faster and faster speed, gradually becoming twice as fast as Hong Haoping.Chen raised her head inadvertently, opened her mouth slightly, didn't say anything, just pulled Hong Haoping to let him rest for a while.

As soon as it was time, Mrs. Wu packed up her things, picked up a small load of rice and went back to make lunch.

Lunch was in a shaded place on the ground. Wu made salty pumpkin rice. There was too much water, the rice was too rotten. One chopstick, more than half of it was pumpkin, and the loofah and egg soup was only a big pot of water, so stingy. tight.What is even more infuriating is that Wu limited the food intake of Puhuang.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Pu Huang also had a plan in mind.

After eating and resting for a quarter of an hour, he started to work in the fields again. Puhuang finished harvesting the field he was cutting, put the sickle away, washed his trouser legs and feet, put on straw sandals, and left.

Seeing this, Hong Haobao hurriedly shouted: "Sister-in-law, when will you be leaving, how can you do half of your work?"

Puhuang turned around, looked at the people who had heard the reputation from other fields, and replied with a smile: "I have already cut the portion for today, and I have to cook the left and right dinners by myself, so I naturally have to go back early."

After hearing Puhuang's words, everyone looked at the field she had just left. It was at least half an acre in size, plus she cut it in the morning, and she did a lot.

The second master of the Hong family didn't expect Puhuang to say it outside, and he was annoyed and ashamed immediately, "Who said you have to cook your own dinner, work harder and cut two more plots of land."

"Xianggong's lunch was left over from the morning. I'm worried. Besides, there's no more firewood at home. I'll go up the mountain first." Pu Huang said calmly, explaining the reason why he wanted to go back early.

Immediately, the others suddenly realized that it was not because they were lazy, but because they were thinking about Hong Hao'an.

After finishing speaking, Puhuang picked up a load of rice and went back to Hong's house. He didn't pour it out to dry. There was the shouting and cursing of Mrs. Wu and Xiaomei.

Going into the mountain, going to the valley, and continuing to plow the ground, many of the seeds that were planted before have sprouted, which makes the end of the Puhuang more abundant. It seems that the environment in this valley is really good.

After turning over two parts of the land and turning over the retting fertilizer several times, Puhuang went to loosen the soil and water the fruit trees, and decided to apply some fertilizer after a while. Some fruit, but she is the one who benefits.

At dinner time, Puhuang and Hong Hao'an were talking and chatting. When it came to what happened today, he was a little surprised, but he agreed with her approach. She left early, but things were still done. What's wrong?Too much work doesn't pay much. If Puhuang takes over most of the work, what other people do will only encourage their laziness.

But in the Hong family, there was a dish of braised pork on the dinner table, and several people ate it with great relish, but the second master of the Hong family had no appetite. In these past few years, he knew exactly how much rice was harvested a day in these lands, but today , the eldest daughter-in-law went to help in less than a day, and the speed increased for half a day. If this continues, can't it be done two or three days in advance?
When she came back to her senses, she heard Wu scolding Puhuang for being lazy while eating, Xiao thought about the night's meal, and said that her meal would be halved at noon tomorrow as punishment.The second master of the Hong family threw his chopsticks and scolded: "I can't even eat a meal, and I deduct the amount of food. Do you want others to say that if we let our daughter-in-law come over to help, it won't make people full? It's enough if we don't leave dinner. Already!"

Mrs. Wu also knew about today's progress. Hearing what the second master of the Hong family said, she didn't refute it. Puhuang is capable, so she can be a little lazy. Anyway, she always cooks like that for lunch, and it's not What a good meal, don't feel bad.

In the days that followed, Puhuang would "retire early" every day, and it was rare to see Wu's scolding. There were those with insight who saw Puhuang's efficiency and envied him in his heart, but most people's fields were also They are almost the same, and there is no need to hire them.

There are no particularly big landlords in the village, but those richer ones who live in Kangpingluo just hire some people to help, and the work is done within a few days. Let's go, this pair of grabs is not just for fun.

Some planted rice in the first season and then planted rice in the second season, and some planted other things in the second season, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, and mustard greens.

After harvesting the rice, Wu did not spare Puhuang's labor force. When borrowing cattle to plow the land, he would call Puhuang to help for two or three hours in front of the villagers. Let alone the pay.

Puhuang is not stupid, waiting to be enslaved, but there are so many excuses to shirk, and they can't stand Wu's thick skin if they use them one by one.

The weather this year is very good, and there is no rain when harvesting the rice, and the harvested rice cannot be dried in one go. Often, the water is dried first to ensure that it will not germinate, and then slowly It is put into the warehouse after drying for a month or two.

So after plowing the field, raking the ground, and getting enough sun, the first downpour followed by continuous rainy weather is the best time to transplant rice seedlings. Throughout the paddy fields, Dai Farmers wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats are pulling seedlings and throwing seedlings in the field, which has become a unique scenery in the rain.

At this time, Puhuang also became one of them.

She doesn't like working in rainy days, but she also knows that it is inevitable, and transplanting rice seedlings is really a technical job.Pu Huang knew that he couldn't do it, so he studied it carefully, and this time he took it as a practice, after all, he will do it by himself in the future, and no one will help him.

Strong mental strength is also beneficial. At least when doing some rough work, you can learn quickly. After mastering the rules, Puhuang's speed is as fast as having wings, which is several times faster than others. In order to avoid the rain earlier, She doesn't care what other people think of her.

Fortunately, there are only two days like this, otherwise she will really collapse. The whole process of sowing in the second season this time allows Puhuang to learn about the same. Except for seedling raising, this is really difficult to grasp. If there is a field in the future, I will If you are not successful in education, ask someone to help you.

After Xia Shou's round, Puhuang really turned black and looked a lot thinner, which made Hong Haoan feel guilty. Regarding this, Puhuang covered her mouth and snickered, she was not so fragile, but someone knew her It's not a bad feeling when you still feel pity for her.

After finishing the summer harvest, it was almost the end of July. She was too busy at that time, and she missed the Qiqiao Festival. Su Shi brought her daughter and Hong Wenlin to invite her specially. It is a pity to think about it. She must wait for next year. Prepare well and feel the tradition that has long been lost in later generations.

But this also means that most people are not so busy, and the homesteads that have been circled can be considered to start construction. After all, it is the place where I live. No matter how many years it is, I always want to be more refined, and this is very expensive. of time and money.
