Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 171 Harvest the Wheat

The life of Li Shou's family has become more and more stable. The family is harmonious and beautiful. Although they live in poverty, they feel comfortable and at ease.

The money saved from selling sausages before was returned to Grandpa Liu’s two taels of silver, plus the expenses of the past few months, and now there are only 20 taels left.

Li Mingyue doesn't plan to use this money any more. In the future, making vermicelli and sausages will require capital, and it is impossible to be a white wolf with empty hands.

Fortunately, there is a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil at home, there are still some bacon and sausages hanging in the cellar, and the vegetables in the vegetable field have also grown. Two old hens can lay two or three eggs every day, and Li Mingzhi will occasionally go down the river Come back to eat after fishing...

Therefore, even if it doesn't cost money, the dishes on the Li family's dining table are quite rich. Coupled with Li Mingyue's good cooking skills, a few small buns eaten every day have a round belly, and meat has begun to grow on the face. , and the complexion is also much ruddy.

Li Mingyue is still following the habit when she was in Luo's house, getting up early every day to study for two hours.Li Mingzhi, Li Minglan, Li Mingxiang, and Li Mingxiu were also pulled together by her.

At first, Li Minglan was a little reluctant, she just wanted to spend more time on embroidery and netting, and didn't want to waste time on it.

Knowing her thoughts, Li Mingyue scolded them all in a righteous manner in the morning class the next day.

"I teach you how to read and write. I don't want you to be the number one scholar, and I don't want you to be able to speak well. I just want you to learn more about life and broaden your horizons... At least you can write your own name, and you will have a family and a career in the future. At least the house deeds, land deeds, and accounts of the family can be understood, so as not to be blind."

The words of getting married and starting a career made Li Minglan and Li Mingzhi blush with embarrassment.

Looking at Li Mingyue's dignified little face, full of majesty, the two of them could only bury their heads and keep silent.

Every morning, just after Mao time, there will be a burst of reading aloud in the small courtyard of the Li family.Li Mingyue stood under the peach tree, holding a book in one hand and a ruler in the other, like a decent teacher.

Li Mingyue also only taught them some simple and easy-to-understand principles and words, not jerky and difficult to understand. After a long time, they also developed some interest, and they became more and more active in reading in the morning.

In the morning, Li Mingyue and Li Minglan went up to the mountain to hunt pigweed, dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, and catch some bugs to feed the chickens in the afternoon. The days were pleasant and leisurely.

The days passed by, and it was the harvest season in a blink of an eye. The wheat field was golden, and the farmers were busy harvesting the wheat.

All members of Li Shou's family were mobilized, and the Liu family was cutting the wheat in front with sickles, while Ming Xiang and Ming Xiu led Ming and Qing to pick up the ears of wheat.It took less than a day for the three acres of wheat to be harvested, and half a sack of wheat ears was picked up.

After finishing harvesting their own wheat, Li Shou and Mrs. Liu helped Aunt Zhou's harvest again.After that, I went to Grandpa Liu's house to help out for a few days.

At the other end of Old Man Li's house, he was too busy to touch the ground.His family has planted more than ten acres of wheat this year, but although the family has a large population, there are only four laborers who can use it.The third son, Li An, is a lame man.The fourth child, Li Kangyuan, did not pass the exam. After being depressed for a while, he locked himself in the room and continued to study hard.Mrs. Zhang couldn't get off the ground even with her eight-month-old belly...

During this period of time, the entire Li family was extremely busy. Old man Li was in his sixties, and he had to go to the field to harvest wheat every day.

Even so, the four of them worked hard for seven or eight days, but they only harvested half of the wheat.The wheat is already ripe. If we don’t harvest it in time, when the rainy southeast monsoon blows, this year’s work will be in vain... Old man Li couldn’t help it, so he could only grit his teeth. Personal help.

It was also at this time that Old Man Li finally remembered the relationship between Li Shou and Mrs. Liu. Those couple, not to mention hard work, are also good at tending the crops...

Old man Li let out a long sigh, what a pity...

　I have something to do in the afternoon, and the next update may be in the evening.
