Chapter 76 Something went wrong

Because of the bumper harvest, even though everyone is exhausted, they are still in high spirits, as if they have endless energy.

If their bodies didn't allow them, they would have waited for a moment without stopping from morning to night to harvest the wheat completely and go home, threshing the wheat, drying it, and grinding it into flour, all in one step.

Feng Huaying didn't give up too much, sweating profusely under the scorching sun, looking at the bundles of wheat, the light in his eyes never went out.

Ji Weiguo came on the second day after harvesting the wheat, "My elder brother can't come back to work, so I will work instead of him."

"No, there's no need for you to come here for this matter. We have a lot of family members, so we are busy." Mother Feng said so, but she was very happy in her heart, which showed that the Ji family attached great importance to her daughter.

"That's right, Chunxi's family has to snap up. You came to our house, what will she do, be careful that your father-in-law will give you small shoes to wear." Feng Huaying boldly wiped the sweat off his face while teasing Ji Weiguo.

After being teased by so many unfamiliar people, the young Ji Weiguo patted the back of his head in embarrassment, "It's okay, I went there yesterday and told my uncle, he knows it all, and won't be angry."

Ji Weiguo just worked in the Feng family's field for a day. Fortunately, they had a lot of family members, and the work was very neat, and they had finished harvesting in two days.

Machines are not popular yet, and wheat threshing in rural areas is done manually. Feng's father, Feng Huazu, Feng Huajian, and Feng Huaying took turns pulling heavy reels to crush the golden ears of wheat, and picking out the straw with iron forks. , The rakes and wooden lifts took turns to fight, and finally only a single golden grain of wheat was left.

Feng Huaying looked at the wheat in his own wheat field with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and he was in a good mood. He turned to the younger brother Feng Huarong who came to take over, and said, "Okay, you can watch here."

"Second Sister, tell Big Brother to come over early after dinner." Feng Huarong looked at Feng Huaying pitifully.

Because I have been hungry for the past few years, the villagers are very precious to every grain of wheat, and they don't want to lose a single grain. Therefore, every household has people watching the wheat field from morning to night, in case birds steal it, and they don't want to lose it. There are mice and such.

When they thought that the food they worked so hard to grow would be eaten by various birds and mice, their hearts ached and they couldn't help themselves.

But near noon, he couldn't go home here, and he was exposed to the sun while others were eating at home. This was a bit cruel to Feng Huarong, what a miserable little brother.

"Understood, big brother will let him come over as soon as he finishes eating." Feng Huaying laughed, shook her head and left without looking back.

She didn't go home immediately, she went to Nanhe first.

At this time, there are many people in the river, washing clothes, playing with water, in short, there are many people.

There were many men among them, Feng Huaying didn't go to those people's places in order to avoid suspicion, and found a place far away from them to get into the water.

Simply because the Nanhe River is big enough, even if they can still see those people, they can't see the curvy image after entering the water with the clothes attached to their bodies.

After swimming in the river happily, the skin that was hot from the sun cooled down.

The water in the Nanhe River is neither deep nor shallow, more than one meter deep, and the wide water surface is like a big swimming pool. Feng Huaying swims beautifully.

Lying on her back, kicking her feet lightly, she swam out like a fish.

Suddenly her arm was hit by something, and the greasy touch made Feng Huaying pinch the thing reflexively. Before her feet touched the bottom of the river and stood up, she was hit in the face by the river water. Not too small, almost let it run away by accident.

Feng Huaying stood firm and wiped his face when he saw the red carp in his hand, and smiled immediately: "Hey, I delivered it to my door, and I just stewed it for you at noon."

The carp is not small, at least two catties, with brightly colored scales and strong guts, it looks good at first glance.

He dug some clams and wrapped Feng Huaying in taro leaves before going home.

Coming out of the river, her clothes were tightly attached to her body, but fortunately, there was no one around, the weather was fine and the sun was bright, and the clothes dried before she had gone far.

"Hey, Huaying, where did you get the carp? It's so pretty." Mother Feng was just about to make lunch when she saw her daughter come back with a live carp in her hand.

"Shall I make braised fish for lunch?" Braised fish is quite wasteful and is rarely cooked. Feng Huaying is a bit greedy.

But she didn't want Mother Feng to quit: "You know what to eat."

Mother Feng snatched the carp from Feng Huaying's hand, stripped it of the grass on its gills, put it in a basin, poured a bucket of well water into it.

The dying red carp suddenly came back to life, and Feng Huaying couldn't help feeling that the vitality is really strong.

"No way, it's just a carp. We haven't seen it much here, but it doesn't mean anything. Besides, there are plenty of them in other places, but we haven't found them. It's no big deal to eat them. They're all fish anyway."

"What do you know, this color carp is too rare. I have only seen it twice when I grow up to this size, and it is not as big as this. People say that this thing is a good omen, so what, yes, it is a carp leaping over the dragon gate. It seems to be this kind of carp, if you eat it, what should we do if it bears a grudge?"

"You are a feudal superstition, and you are still jumping the dragon's gate with a carp." Feng Huaying was speechless, but did not continue to argue about this.

"What do you kids know? That's what the old people say."

Well, the taste of river clams is also good. Although it is not seafood, it has a unique flavor.

"By the way, where is my second brother? What did you do?" Feng Huaying looked around and saw her father and her eldest brother smoking and chatting there, and her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were choosing dishes, but suddenly found that her carriage was not there, could it be out again?
Is there not much work in the field, or has he not come back yet?
Sure enough, when her second sister-in-law came out to wash the vegetables, she casually replied, "I don't know, he hasn't come back yet."

"Haven't come back yet? How could it be? He's going to the county seat today for business?" Otherwise, why didn't he come home at this time? He used to get home around nine or ten o'clock.

"I don't know, he didn't say anything, maybe something has delayed it." Li Xiaohua wasn't worried either.

Things have been going well at home recently, and she didn't expect anything to happen.

Feng Huaying thought so, and nothing happened, so she went to make furniture.

Before Uncle Li said that Li Dongyang had introduced her to a few clients in the city, because he couldn’t take care of them because of the busy farming season, and they were reasonable and didn’t push her too much. Sometimes it's hard to do.

But he didn't want something to happen to Feng Huajian.

"Director, what's the matter? Why don't you want it? These dishes are fine." Feng Huajian was waiting outside the office of the supply and marketing cooperative, and immediately went over as soon as he saw the director of the supply and marketing cooperative who finally appeared.

He came to deliver food early this morning, but he was told that his food would not be accepted.

No charge, how can this work?

Feng Huajian wanted an explanation to change this result, but none of those people could tell clearly, or they couldn't manage it. He wanted to ask the director what was going on, but when he arrived at the office, he was told that no one was there.

Obviously I saw him not long ago, "The director obviously just came, I saw it with my own eyes."

It's just that he moved a little slower, so he didn't stop people.

But the person who didn't want to stop him opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes, but the director just left again, I don't have time to see you, you should leave quickly."

The clerk was impatient, and Feng Huajian became even more restless.

Is he hiding from him?Why?
It was fine before.

The anxious Feng Huajian calmed down. After being kicked out, he sat at the door of the office of the supply and marketing cooperative, and he would not leave without asking.

Whatever went wrong, it was suddenly replaced by someone else.

Was it the guy who took his delivery?Is there someone behind him?

But from the information I heard, it seems that this person has no background, and even the vegetables provided this morning are not many, as if they were prepared hastily, so what is going on?

No one could answer him, so he blocked the director's door, wanting to know why.

Sure enough, he was made to wait, and the director was avoiding him.
