Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 70
"Estimate how long it will take for us to finish collecting it?" Liu Man'er sat on the small bench, leaning softly on Ye Yuan's body. During this time, as soon as she returned home, she felt that she was already boneless. When I become human, I just want to lie down and do nothing.

Although Ye Yuan was serious during the day and never did anything out of line, but seeing that Liu Man'er was too tired, he didn't push her away, so he let her lean on him and replied, "It will take another five or six days."

"Five or six more days?" Liu Man'er really wanted to cry, she was only busy for three days, and she already wanted to die. He told her that it would take another five or six days?
"Our family's land is quite small. Some families have more than ten or twenty mu, at least they will be busy for a month." Ye Yuan said again.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Liu Man'er showed a smile that was uglier than crying. She decided that if she wanted to farm again next year, she would definitely convince Fang that she would not plant such crops that would be harvested, especially in the summer. It was rushed, she just wanted to sleep in Xia Tian, ​​but she was so tired in the end.

"Today and tomorrow, we will finish harvesting soybeans, then we will harvest rice, and after that we will not be so busy harvesting peanuts." Ye Yuan said.

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded, Fang's cooked the meal, and Ye He helped to bring out the meal.

During this period of time, she was too tired, and the meals she came home were cooked by Fang and Ye He. Although she felt a little sorry, she really didn't want to move, so she could only eat ready-made.

What's more, she didn't want to eat, so she just asked Ye Yuan to serve her a bowl of gruel, and drank it slowly.

"Man'er, eat more, you've been tired and thin these days." Mrs. Fang asked Liu Man'er to serve the meal.

Liu Man'er shook her head, "It's too hot, I have no appetite."

"Eat something, I'm going to be busy in the afternoon, I fried some sauerkraut for you, don't you like it?" Fang Shi said and pushed the sauerkraut bowl to Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er picked up two chopsticks, it was very delicious Yes, but she still doesn't have much appetite.

"Mother, eat more yourself, I don't want to eat." Liu Man'er shook her head, "I'll just drink porridge, and it will give me strength if I drink more."

"How can I do that? How can you fill your stomach with porridge? What do you like to eat, tell your mother later, and I will make it for you." Seeing Liu Man'er still looking listless, Fang said: "You used to eat a lot of food. Isn’t there such a thing? Is she sick? Why don’t you take her to see a doctor later.”

"No, no need." Hearing what Fang said, Liu Man'er quickly sat up straight and said, "I'm a lazy person. It would be embarrassing to see a doctor."

"I think you're really tired, why don't you take a rest in the afternoon." Fang also said.

"I'm fine. I'll just lie down on the cool bed later. I'll be there later in the afternoon." Liu Man'er said casually.

This cool bed, almost every household has a bed, it is made of bamboo, it is not easy to transfer heat, it is chilly to sleep on, Fang moved it from the attic and put it near the window of the main room, every day Liu Maner will go up Lie down and rest.

"Okay." Fang didn't force it, she just said it casually, after all, the work in this place is really rushed.

After eating, Liu Man'er lay down on the cool bed, and she slept in it alone occupying the small half. Ye He was young and tired enough these days, so she also lay down to sleep, but Fang was busy feeding her Ye Tianchen ate.

Fortunately, Ye Tianchen could also walk during this time, so Fang carried him to the field in a basket and put him under the shade of the tree every day. He was very good, playing alone in the shade every day, and occasionally Helping Liu Man'er pass water, handkerchiefs and so on.

Ye Yuan also sat on the edge of the bed to rest for a while, he took Liu Man'er's hand and told her not to go if she was tired, and to tell him if she had something to do.

Liu Man'er nodded slightly, but she didn't want him to be too tired, so she decided to pay attention to rest for a while and get through.

Ye Yuan took a rest for about half an hour, then went out to work again with a sickle, he thought that if he did more, Liu Man'er and Fang could do less.

Fang tidied up the house, handed Ye Tianchen to Liu Man'er, and then went out. Liu Man'er and Ye He lay on the bed to rest.

When she woke up, every lazy nerve in her bones was clamoring for her not to get up, not to get up, but when she opened her eyes and touched her side, even Ye He got up, leaving Ye Tianchen with her eyes wide open. Diliu looked at her.

Ashamed, not as good as a child.

Liu Man'er shook her head, gritted her teeth and got up from the bed, then mixed some sugar water, put it in a tin pot, hugged Ye Tianchen, and walked into the ground.

Poured a bowl of water for everyone, and after working for a while, all the soybeans in this piece were taken back. Since Ye Yuan came early today, it was quite early when work was over, and there was still a piece of land left. , Ye Yuan proposed to say that it would be settled tomorrow, and Fang also nodded in agreement, and the family came back early.

Seeing that the weather was still early, Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to help her buy some mint leaves from the pharmacy in the town. The weather is too hot, and these mint leaves are excellent for soaking in water or taking a bath.

What's more, the four little guys in the family all had prickly heat all over their bodies. When the prickly heat burst, they were very itchy, and Liu Fusheng and Ye Tianchen were the most serious, and the ones who had been caught were all red.

When he came back in the evening, Ye Yuan came back with Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng. Now it was busy farming season, and the teacher at the private school said that he would take a month's busy farming holiday.

Liu Man'er was very happy to hear that, with two more people, she could relax a bit. Although they were only children, they could help with a lot of things.

Especially Ye Feng, who is older, can do almost anything.

So, the next day, Ye Yuan asked Liu Man'er to rest at home.

Liu Man'er thought about it for a while and agreed. Although she said she was resting at home, in fact, how could she have time to rest during the busy farming season?It's just a little easier than going inside.

Liu Man'er has no free time at home to cook, wash clothes, pound soybeans, and take care of the children, but she can spend less time in the sun.

Going to work in the fields during this time, Liu Man'er was afraid of getting sunburned, so she wore a bamboo hat and a veil to wrap herself tightly, so she was a little hotter than others.

This is a rare day at home, Liu Man'er boiled mint water for them, add some sugar, it is sweet and chilly, but it is a good light drink.

Afterwards, she washed the clothes, cleaned the yard, moved the soybeans to the center of the yard and spread them out to dry. By the time all this was done, it was getting late, and Ye Yuan and the others came back just as the meal was ready.

Seeing them coming back, Liu Man'er first poured mint water for them, then fetched water for them to wash their hands and faces, and wiped Ye Yuan's sweat with a handkerchief. Ye Yuan was quite satisfied with this, and said: "You Just cook at home."

"Take your turn, mother will be at home tomorrow, Xiaohe the day after tomorrow." Being at home is an easy job, and Liu Man'er can't monopolize it selfishly.

During the meal, when asked how Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng felt about working today, both of them smiled silly and kept silent.

"Although you are educated people, you can't work hard and don't know the grain. It's good to do some work once in a while. Isn't this master going to let you work on vacation?" Liu Man'er said.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you are right." Ye Feng responded quickly, "We all know this, sister-in-law doesn't need to persuade us."

"Sister, I can help with all these chores." Liu Fusheng also nodded.

"That's good. I'm worried that you guys will be stupid when you study, and think that everything is inferior and only reading is high. This kind of thinking is not good." Liu Man'er said again.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiao Feng won't think so." Ye Feng replied politely.

"Fusheng can't either." Liu Fusheng also shook his head, and said to Liu Man'er mysteriously, "But sister, let me tell you, many of our classmates don't work at home."

"Then you must not learn from them." Liu Man'er said, "Anyway, it's useless to study hard like this. If you want to apply what you have learned, I will give you a homework. You have been working for a few days, and then you will write a poem. come out."

"I don't know how to compose poetry." Liu Fusheng looked at Liu Man'er pitifully, he hadn't learned all the words yet.

"Then you can ask your third brother for advice." Liu Man'er said quickly, "You can recite a poem or a famous saying from the predecessors."

"Okay." Liu Fusheng agreed with a bitter face.

Ye Feng thought about it and nodded.

There was no need to go to work in the afternoon, Liu Man'er lay down until very late, and then she was busy hammering beans again.

The soybeans were exposed to the sun, and many of them burst open. At this time, they were beaten vigorously with a wooden hammer, and many soybeans fell. Soybeans can be put away after drying on the sackcloth for a day.

Fang is still a little bit reluctant. In the past, he put it directly in the yard to dry, but in that case, it would be too laborious to collect. In many cases, even the dust was swept up with a broom. After all, it is land, not Marble floor or concrete floor.

After the sackcloth is placed on the pad, you only need to pull the four corners, and the soybeans will all roll to the middle.

Of course, if you ignore that the linen is three cents a foot, only Liu Man'er in this village can afford it.

Anyway, in Liu Man'er's opinion, it can save trouble, why not?Anyway, it is not used once, and it will not be wasted. If you want to make clothes at that time, you can wash them and take them apart, and they can still be used.

Of course, Liu Man'er didn't intend to use this piece of linen to make clothes, she was just trying to convince Fang that she made this cloth and planned to use it to dry things. It would have been better to use nylon plastic to dry things, but unfortunately it didn't.

In the evening when Ye Yuan came back from work, Liu Man'er had already tidied up the house, she had cooked the meal, and waited for them to come back to eat.

After eating, they boiled hot water for a bath, and Liu Man'er put mint leaves in the pot to cook, so that after the bath, the wind would blow and they would feel chilly.

At night, everyone was enjoying the shade in the yard, Liu Man'er asked Ye Feng to endorse, Ye Yuan and Fang listened carefully, while Ye Tianchen followed behind Ye He and Liu Fusheng, watching and catching fireflies.

The starry sky at night is so bright, the courtyard is breezy and not too hot at night, Liu Man'er almost wants to sleep outside, but there are many mosquitoes outside, she is a mosquito attractor, so she can only get into the tent early and fall asleep .

But it was hot inside the house, especially after the mosquito net was pulled up, even with the doors and windows open, it was still a bit stuffy.

It was fine for Liu Man'er to lie alone, with a mat under her body, she could barely bear it, but after Ye Yuan came in, she couldn't bear it anymore, Ye Yuan's body was too hot, Liu Man'er shrank into a corner by herself, but Ye Yuan just couldn't bear it anymore. To come together.
