Reborn peasant female scholar

Chapter 67

"Okay, twenty trees in one trip, count them!" Tang Meng counted the width of twenty trees and quickly mowed.Although she hasn't done farm work for a long time, and she just started doing it, she still has a lot of energy.

Li Lin looked at it for a while with a sickle in her hand, and felt that it was boring to be idle, so she also went to the field to compete.Fortunately, there was no water in the field, so she didn't have to worry about leeches crawling on her legs.

Half an hour passed, and Xu You's trip had come to an end. He sat on the stalk drinking water and said, "Tang Meng, you are defeated. You still have one third of the cut left. Before You also said that I am not from a rural area and cannot do this job, so I thought you were very capable."

Tang Meng straightened her sore waist and rubbed it, "Li Lin is your defeat. She didn't even cut a third of it, haha."

Li Lin said with a bitter face: "Uncle farmer is working so hard. I will never leave any leftovers. Hard work is not just what the book says. Huh... my waist, legs, and arms are sore. , everything is sour."

Tang Meng couldn't help laughing, and said: "With your body, you are born in the city, you should go to the field stalks to rest for a while."

"No, I have to finish this trip this morning anyway. Xu You, come and bring me water!"

Xu You came over with a pot and a cup, and because he was going to pass by Tang Meng, he poured Tang Meng a cup first, "It's just a cup, don't think I've drunk it dirty."

Tang Meng had already drank it, stared and said, "You didn't say it earlier, I have to wash the cup."

"Pretentious!" Xu You snatched the cup from her hand, and went to Li Lin's place with the kettle.

Li Lin took a glass of water and gulped it down, then tossed a word to Xu You, "Eccentric, I asked you to bring me water, but I sent it to Tang Meng first."

Xu You replied: "She is the landlord's wife, and we are tenant farmers, so of course we have to keep close to her first."

Li Lin and Tang Meng laughed out loud.In order to finish cutting and go home to rest earlier, Xu You put down the kettle and started cutting for the second time.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Li Lin finally finished cutting her trip, while Xu You cut it six times, Tang Meng cut it four times, and the three of them really cut an acre of land.

The three of them were also so tired that they almost fell down, especially Xu You, who was already drenched.Although Li Lin only cut a little bit, her clothes were sweaty and clinging to her body.

Tang Meng is the same, there is almost no dry place on his body.On the way home, she said, "Why don't we cut it in the afternoon. We're already exhausted in the morning, so we won't be able to do it in the afternoon."

Li Lin nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'm really sore all over."

Xu You disagreed, "It was agreed that another [-]% of the field would be cut this afternoon, so which line did you not complete?"

Tang Meng knew that Xu You was also stubborn, so she said, "Okay, Li Lin, you can watch TV at my house in the afternoon, don't come. My mother said that she doesn't need to wash the bed in the afternoon, and she can come out for two hours. "

Li Lin was a little ashamed, "It seems that I'm holding you back."

Xu You smiled and said, "Didn't Auntie say that if you are good-looking, you will be promising in the future, you don't have to work."

Li Lin glared at him fiercely.

It was already 12:30 when we got home, Mother Tang felt sorry for them, and advised them not to go in the afternoon, and let her and Father Tang take their time.But Xu Youfei said that she was not tired at all, and in the end Mama Tang had no choice but to compromise.

After lunch, Li Lin stayed at home, and Tang's mother, Tang Meng, and Xu You went to cut the eighth field together.

Tang's mother has been doing farm work for decades, and she is very skilled at cutting rice. She cuts half of the eight-fen mu by herself, and Xu You and Tang Meng cut the other half.

It took two and a half hours, and the eighth field was cut.

After returning home, it was already past four o'clock, and Tang's mother started looking for food to pack for them and asked them to take it to school to eat.Tang's father was still threshing grain in the field. He looked at the sun and knew that the children were going to school, so he came back specially to see off two of Tang Meng's classmates.

Tang's mother made three bags of things, including peanuts, boiled eggs, and bottled pickles, and put them into the bags of the three of them.

Father Tang also followed Mother Tang to send the children to the side of the road to wait for the bus. Seeing that the car hadn't arrived yet, Father Tang asked Xu You and Li Lin about something, and asked, "Do you know how much a house in the city is now per square meter?" , Xiao Meng always advised us to buy a house in the city, saying that the house price would rise sharply in a few years. I used to be afraid of losing money when buying a house. After all, the money was dug out from the fields. Now the family has a farmhouse, and the income is not bad , I thought I could give it a try.”

Li Lin heard Tang's father said that the family has tens of thousands of yuan, which is not poorer than the city people, and even richer than some city people. The living expenses are quite high, so your family is so rich."

Seeing that Li Lin didn't answer the question correctly, Xu You couldn't help but smiled, and replied to Father Tang, saying, "The housing prices in the city seem to range from more than 300 to [-], and they are all newly developed, mainly depending on the location. Uncle If you want to buy it, I will ask my dad when the time comes, his colleagues also said that they want to buy a new house, so they know a lot about it.”

Father Tang nodded happily, "Okay, okay, thank you, Tang Meng will call me when the time comes, and I'll go to the city to buy."

"Uncle, you're being polite." Xu You responded politely.

At this time, the bus came from a distance, and the three of them got on the bus. Mother Tang told them to watch their bags and not to lose things or money.

Tang's father instructed: "The three of you play so well, don't quarrel at school, but help each other, and you can go to college together in the future."

The three of them laughed happily when they heard this, and waved to Tang's father and mother, and the car had already started.
