Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 100

Xiuyao wants to subdivide and mark those lands again.Qin Dafu asked Qin Xian to be in charge of the existing crop land, looking at the insects in the cotton field, weeds such as weeds in the valley, and weeds such as barnyard grass. Once these grasses are mature, the seeds falling on the ground may cause weeds to overgrow in the coming year , so it must be pulled out when the seeds are mature.

The others were soaking in that piece of wasteland. First, they collected the gravel covered on the best piece of land, picked it up with a pole basket, and piled it aside as wall materials.As far as this work is concerned, it takes five or six people to work for several days on one mu of land.

Especially Qin Ye, he took out the energy of harvesting wheat, built a straw shed there with sticks, branches and straw, and lived there at night, picking up broken stones and digging the ground every day and night.

Even Xiurong, wearing a straw hat and wrapping her hands in rags, helped pick up stones whenever she was free.

This day Qin Ye was busy working for two hours after dinner, he was really tired, and slept soundly at night, sleeping until dawn.He sat in the thatched hut and looked at his village in the distance. The smoke was rising, and it was not time for breakfast.

Although he was hungry, he still got up and washed his face in a bucket beside him, drank the soup in the soup pot, and then picked up the shovel to dig the ground. "Hey, something's wrong!" Qin Ye looked left and right, although the work at night was not so clear, but in the shadow of the moon, he could still roughly remember where he stopped.

Could it be that he was too tired to sleepwalk, don't you know?impossible!Qin Ye patted his head, didn't think about it for a while, and started digging the ground again.

One after another, the family also came over and brought him breakfast, with scallions dipped in miso, a small bowl of vegetable porridge, two large rolls, and a bean noodle dumpling.Compared with the old Qin's house, he ate a lot. He hesitated and left one of the papers.

Xiuyao saw it, and said: "Brother, don't save your energy. Mother told you to finish eating." The eldest brother is only 17 years old, and when he is still growing, it will take a lot of effort. How can I eat enough.

Qin Ye said with a smile: "I'm full now, I'll eat later when I'm hungry. Little sister, are you all full?"

Qin Ye knew that the family didn't have much food, so he borrowed some from the second grandfather's house, but several men ate, and he probably couldn't last long, so he was in a hurry and wanted to finish the land as soon as possible, at least in a few days. Can grow a la carte.

Xiuyao nodded, "Brother, we are all full, don't worry, but remember to finish eating, otherwise mother should be worried. They are basically full when they go to the field, and the elder sister and mother at home are probably the same. Five minutes full, and then rely on drinking water mat. She knew that this was the decision made by the mother and eldest sister to support them who went to the field, and it was a last resort, so she didn't point it out.

In order to quench their thirst and fill their stomachs a bit, Liu’s not only provided them with a can of cold boiled soup, but also a small pot of pimple soup with basically no noodles, but there were a lot of wild vegetables and green vegetables in it, and salt was added. Replenish energy.

Everyone was working in full swing, and after a while, I saw Lao Qintou and the second uncle coming here with a shovel on their shoulders.Qin Dafu thought they were passing by, so he went up to say hello. Although the old Qin was very angry with him and didn't talk to him these days, Qin Dafu knew that his father was worried about him, so he couldn't stop talking to him.

Who knew that those two people didn't come forward at all, but turned directly into their wasteland, Qin Dafu was surprised, and rushed to meet him, "Father, Ergui, why are you here?"

Old Qintou snorted, ignored him, and went straight to dig the ground over there. When his grandchildren came to say hello, he just hummed.

Qin Ergui smiled at his eldest brother: "Brother, we don't have much work in the field, and we are idle, so come here to help you dig the field." Then he said in a low voice: "Our father came here before dawn. .” After speaking, he laughed, and went over there to dig the ground.

Qin Dafu was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly went to work beside Old Qin, and said with a smile, "Father."

Out of the corner of his eye, old Qin saw him smirking to please himself like a child, and didn't want to talk to him, and was afraid that he would lose face in front of the children, so he gave a blunt hum and continued to work.

Old Qintou thought that the elder son's family was crazy and did such a mindless thing as soon as the family was separated, but he said several times that Qin Dafu didn't listen to him at all.Old Qin was very angry, but he couldn't bear the fact that they were so tired day and night, seeing that the autumn harvest was not coming, the busy farming season was not here, and everyone didn't need to do the little work in the field.That's why he quietly came to help early this morning, and then he went home to eat at dawn.

It just so happened that Qin Ergui wanted to come to help a long time ago, and he was afraid of old Qin's scolding. When he saw his father coming back from outside with a shovel, he guessed it, so he also carried a shovel and came out with his father after dinner.

The two of them had a tacit understanding with each other, and they didn't say anything clearly, and they came here all the way.

When it was almost noon, Old Qin didn't say hello, picked up the shovel and left, Qin Ergui hurriedly chased after him, not giving Qin Dafu a chance to speak.

Seeing his grandfather and second uncle coming to help, Qin Ye understood what was going on with the plowed land. He said to Qin Dafu, "Father, my grandfather is still angry."

Qin Dafu smiled and said: "Yes, but it will be fine when we grow something." The old man was angry and disagreed with his son's decision, but at the same time he felt sorry for their troubles, so he came to help, "You must be filial to grandpa in the future, and don't hold grudges. he."

Qin Ye smiled and said, "Father, of course, who dares to hate my grandpa." After finishing speaking, he continued to work.

After ten days of busy work, the few acres of land were basically cleaned up, the stones were picked up, the land was turned over, and many ditches were dug according to Xiuyao's requirements, extending all the way to the roadside at the head of the field. In addition, it is necessary to dig out the silt in the ditch as much as possible to lift it to the ground. The best thing is to get the rotten grass and leaves under the trees to the ground.

After the busy work, the autumn harvest is almost ready. Old Qin asked Qin Dafu in a sideways manner, why his father-in-law didn't see them, and why didn't the Liu family go back to his mother's house when they were so free.

When I got back to my natal family, I would at least talk about the separation of the family, and by the way, I could ask for some food or farm tools that were missing at home.The autumn harvest is just around the corner. Why can't the old man send a donkey to help them harvest the crops? After all, the Liu family has four donkeys.

Qin Dafu also knew that his father cared about him, so he also bluntly said that he didn't want to rely on his father-in-law, and he couldn't let people poke his back. He took the children to work hard, so that he could support his family.

He also told Old Qintou that he had agreed to borrow grain from Second Grandpa and Li Zheng's family and pay it back next year.In the end, Lao Qin was so angry that he wanted to be with them and help them by the way. He was so angry that he shouted: "Okay, you can make troubles on your own. Since you don't want to rely on the old man, you can make troubles on your own." .” Saying that, he ignored Qin Dafu and went to work at home.

Qin Dafu couldn't do anything about it, but he still happily led his wife and children to live. Although it was hard, everyone was united.

The autumn harvest started, Qin Dafu's family didn't have a show, and they had to use it with the old Qintou's, and the old Qintou didn't object to this.

Qin Dafu rented farm tools as usual, led his two sons, Xiuxian and Liu Shi, and was busy harvesting millet, baling it, transporting it to the field, and then chopping the millet, threshing the field, drying the field, etc.

There is cotton in the field, which is in full bloom at this time, and a lot can be bloomed overnight. If you don't pick it up quickly, it may be stolen.So Xiuqin didn't stay at home anymore, she took Xiurong to pick up cotton in the morning and evening.

There are only five acres of cotton, which is more than enough for two girls in the morning and evening.

And Xiuyao did not help harvest the millet, but was busy collecting seeds everywhere, including wolfberry, cotton locust tree, purple clover, salt wormwood, Vitex twig, wild jujube, etc., to investigate various wild shrubs that can be transplanted in large quantities in the coming spring, such as cotton locust tree, cotton locust tree, Lycium barbarum, jujube, Vitex, etc.Every day she will have a lot of harvest, and then wrap the seeds in a cloth and put them in a clean earthen jar to prevent them from being destroyed by insects.

While Xiurong was picking up cotton, she also followed Xiuyao to collect various seeds with great interest, but these seeds were still far short of Xiuyao's requirements, and they could not plant much land.

Everyone is very busy, although tired, but also very happy.

Qin Dafu and his sons were busy in the field that day, while Xiuqin and Xiurong were fishing for wheat at home.

The wheat was dried on the ground at that time, and it was covered with a lot of dust, which had to be washed twice to clean it.They poured most of the water into the pot, then poured the wheat into it, pulled it over with a wicker strainer and washed it, and while washing, they took out the floating wheat chaff and chaff and poured it out.After cleaning, put the wheat into a large earthen pot, add water and continue to wash, wash it, then put it into a clean dustpan, and then wipe it with a clean patching cloth to absorb the water inside as much as possible. Come out, wring out, and keep rubbing.When the water is almost clean, take it outside and pour it on the sorghum woven mat, spreading out a thin layer, so that it can dry faster.

Xiuqin was washing in the house, and Xiurong continued to rub the wheat with the furoshiki in the yard, and also picked up the small stones inside.Xiurong was busy with her work when she heard someone outside asking, "Excuse me, is this Qin Xiuyao's house?"

The voice was a bit cold to the ear, the scorching sun was on the top of the head, and the beauty was soaked in sweat. Hearing this voice, he suddenly felt cool.She is surprised who is this?Even looking for a little girl!

Xiurong ran over, and saw a young man standing at the door, wearing a light blue ochre-colored shorts. He looked good, but he was not very enthusiastic.Xiurong thought she was here to find fault, and immediately said loudly: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

Qi Feng saw that she looked a little like Xiuyao, and knew it was her sister, so he said: "Last time she asked me to inquire about the saplings, and now I have some clues."

When Xiurong heard this, she wondered when did this girl know these people?Even if someone asks the sapling, if she can't afford to eat, she still wants to plant trees?Seeing that she didn't come here to find fault, her expression softened a lot, and she immediately smiled coquettishly, "Well, come in and sit down, she went to pick grass seeds and hasn't come back yet.
