Chapter 14 Poor Harvest
The weather has been fine these few days, Xia Lan wanted to make the rice dry, so she postponed it for a few days.

The weather is a little cooler today. Although the sun is still scorching, there is a breeze anyway, but working in the fields is much better than the previous few days.

The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the little bird is saying early.Early in the morning, Xia Lan led Uncle Liu and the others to work in the fields. While the sun was still warm, they worked more and rested more when it was hot.

When it was almost noon, Xia Lan gave Niu Niu [-] Wen to buy a few catties of pork, and gave Niu Niu the rest as errand fees.

Children should be aware of financial management from an early age, and only when they have money can they manage. Xia Lan is now slowly cultivating a strong sense of money and financial management.

Xia Lan asked Uncle Liu and the three of them to work less in the field for a while, rest more, and go back early at noon, and told them to take care of the lunch at noon, and go back to cook first.The three of Uncle Liu were surprised to hear that Xia Lan said that they would take care of the meals, because they didn't say they would take care of the meals when they were hired, and Xia Lan's daily wages were already very high, so they didn't feel embarrassed to ask for the meals.

Xia Lan said so, Uncle Liu helped Xia Lan repair the house best, the lunch at noon must be much better than what he ate, so the three of them worked harder.

Xia Lan returned home and washed the meat, picked some green vegetables, and stewed some beans in a pot, made a small half pot, and then stewed rice. When the rice was almost ready, Xia Lan thought of asking Niu Niu to send them some He forgot about the tea, so he called Niu Niu back, and Niu Niu who was playing in the yard heard Xia Lan calling him, and quickly answered.

"Is sister okay?"

"Put 8 jars of tea and send it to Uncle Liu and the others. By the way, tell them that the meal is almost ready. Find a shady place to rest and come back to eat soon."

Niu Niu immediately agreed, and immediately took the jar and happily went to the field.

Not long after, Xia Lan finished the meal, but Uncle Liu and the others hadn't come back yet, Xia Lan was about to shout, when she just walked to the door, she met Niu Niu who came back to report.

"Sister, I called Uncle Liu and the others to come back early. They insisted on working for a while, so I waited there for a while. Now they are walking back. I will come back as soon as possible and tell you."

After hearing this, Xia Lan turned back, got cool well water in a wooden basin for them to wash their faces, went to the kitchen to fill their meals, cleared the table and served them, and set up the chopsticks.

Soon Uncle Liu and the others came back. With the cool well water prepared by Xia Lan for them, the simple and honest men washed their faces quickly.

Seeing the sumptuous lunch on the table, Uncle Liu and the others were once again deeply moved, with tears in their eyes.

There are five people at a table, eating happily.Xia Lan did not follow the custom in the mountain village where children do not sit at the table, but let Niu Niu sit with them.There are only two children in the family, so where are there so many rules, and she is not a pedantic ancient, well, now she is occupying the body of an ancient and containing the soul of a modern person.

After the meal, Xia Lan cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes. Uncle Liu and the three also went home separately. Xia Lan specifically told them not to come too early in the afternoon.

After tidying up the kitchen, Xia Lan also went back to her room for a lunch break.When she woke up, it was around four o'clock in the summer afternoon. Xia Lan hurriedly washed her face and went to the field. At this time, Uncle Liu and the others were almost there.

When Xia Lan went to the field, she saw three men working hard to cut rice from a distance. It seemed that they had been here for a long time.Xia Lan also went to help tie the straw, which was the only thing she knew how to do.

Feeling dark, a group of people finally finished harvesting the rice.Xia Lan went to the village head to borrow a rickshaw, and everyone loaded the rice into the cart, and after two trips, they finally finished.Spread the rice to the threshing ground in the village, because it has been dried in the sun a few days ago, so there is no need to dry it anymore, and it can be threshed directly tomorrow.

After a busy day, Xia Lan returned home and was too tired to move. It would be great if there was soy milk powder. She and Niu Niu would each make a pack and drink it for dinner.At this time, Xia Lan missed soy milk powder which she hated the most in modern times.

After resting for a while, Xia Lan resigned herself to get up and cook, and eat whatever she wants!
Xia Lan suddenly remembered that Hyundai bought camellia at the supermarket. It seemed that the flour was fried and then mixed with fried peanuts and fried melon seeds. She could try to make it in her free time.

After dinner, lying on the bed, Xia Lan's sleep quality was not very good. Xia Lan unexpectedly slept very deeply. Back then, she couldn't fall asleep without dreaming at night. Unexpectedly, this time, she had no dreams and slept super soundly. .It seems that fatigue is the best way to fall asleep.

The next day, Xia Lan still got up early.

After a morning of busy work, the rice finally husks.But why does it look so little?

Is this harvest worthy of her busy work this season?Well, even though one of our girls didn't bother with it at all.But our certain girl is still about to cry, because the harvest is really bad, is she worthy of her white and tanned skin?A certain woman complained to God in grief and anger. She depends on God to grow crops and eat. If she doesn't complain to God, who will cry!
