Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 129 Burning Rice Stalks

When Li Yao returned to Chen's house, Chen Bao's house was watching at the door. If he wasn't afraid that the two elders would become suspicious, he would follow his sister-in-law to bring his elder brother back.

"Sister-in-law, where's the elder brother!" Chen Baojia looked behind Li Yao, but he didn't see his elder brother.

"On the boat." Li Yao said weakly.

"What?!" What should I do now?Chen Baojia was anxious and afraid, but seeing his sister-in-law's sickness, Chen Baojia didn't dare to continue asking.

"Your elder brother will be back!" Li Yao seemed to be telling Chen Baojia, but also telling herself.

"Yes, brother will definitely come back, sister-in-law, don't think too much!"

"Well, where are father and mother?" Li Yao asked.

"Those rice stalks are dry, father, mother and Da Lang went to burn the rice stalks, Xing'er and Yu'er were drying the millet inside." He finally found an excuse to come back and wait for his sister-in-law.

"Well, then I'll go to the field later." Li Yao wanted to make herself busy now, so that her heart would not be occupied by restlessness and longing, such a lifeless appearance was not suitable for her.

When Li Yao and Chen Bao's family came to the field, they saw that Dalang and the others had piled up the dried rice stalks into small piles, and put a few bundled rice stalks aside, probably to pick them up and use them as firewood. Li Yao Knowing that this must be because the mother-in-law was reluctant to burn all the rice stalks before letting them bind them.With so many straws, a few bundles are nothing.Li Yao approached the rice field and saw that Da Lang was twisting the rice stalk rope with several strands of rice stalks, and there were some twisted ropes beside him.

"Ma'am!" Brother Dalang asked with a smile when he saw Li Yao walking into the field.

"Da Lang, do you know how to rub this rope?" Li Yao thought that he had been sold since he was a child, and he would no longer be able to do such farm work.

"Ma'am, I have been working in the fields with my parents since I was three years old. Although I haven't done this kind of farm work for a long time, I still remember doing it."

Li Yao smiled and said: "Da Lang, so many ropes are enough for a while, there is no need to rub them anymore, let's burn those straws first, and the ground will be dug in two days." Two days ago Li Yao asked her father-in-law to buy a few acres of land from others, and Li Yao planned to use it to plant hybrid rice seeds for the next season.

"Okay, ma'am."

The Chen family now has a total of more than 20 acres of land, of which more than ten acres are connected. When the fire was ignited, the billowing smoke made people cough, and people working in the fields in the distance stopped their work to watch. Looking at the black smoke lingering in the air, I wonder who is burning things in the field.

"Cough, cough, Wen Bin's daughter-in-law, why did you burn the rice stalks? Isn't that a waste?" Erwa Niang in the neighboring area was also carrying dried rice stalks and wanted to pick them up to go home.

"Auntie, the rice stalks can be burned to ashes to add fertilizer to the field, and the rice planted in the future will grow well." Li Yao said with a smile.

"Isn't it the same if I choose to go home and burn it, and then put the ashes in the field?"

"Auntie, how long will it take for all these rice stalks to be burned to ashes? The ground will be plowed in two days. I just want to put the rice stalk ash into the ground first, and when the rice seedlings are planted, the land will be completely incinerated." fat."

"Is that so? Then I'll burn some rice stalks too." Er Wa Niang said and took out some of the already loaded rice stalks.

Li Yao smiled and continued to burn rice stalks in another acre of land.

"Tut, tsk, what a prodigal!" A bitter voice came, and Li Yao turned her head to see that it was Zhu Ziniang. It turned out that the land of the Chen family was adjacent to Zhu Zi's house.
