Reborn farm girl

Chapter 55

The earthworm breeding in Liuya was very successful, and within forty days, the Song family began to feed the chickens with earthworms.There were twenty or so chickens, but Liuya felt that it was a little short, so she asked Mrs. He to find Mrs. Zeng and carry two litters out. In this way, there were about sixty chickens in the house.

Thinking of eating eggs and chicken every day makes me feel comfortable.However, these sixty or so chickens are a bit annoying when they grow up.Every morning, you just got up and cleaned the house, and then you turned around, and there was chicken shit again.This happens every time, so angry that people vomit blood, but there is no way, I have to drive countless chickens every day, but the house is always swept.In the end, Song Laoer couldn't stand it anymore, so he called Song Laosi, and the two went to cut some bamboo and came back, weaved some walls, and surrounded all the chickens to raise them, which made things better.

The chickens fed the earthworms and grew fast, and when Mrs. He saw him, Liu Ya was not responsible for raising the earthworms. Let Liu Ya teach her, and after teaching, she took over, so there was no need for Liu Ya to worry about it.

Time passed day by day, and everyone was busy harvesting the wheat.The four part-time workers hired by Song Laoer came to Song Laoer before dawn, and Song Laoer took them directly to Xiahe Village.When Yin of this village separated the family, he said that this year's work would still be done together, and that the wheat would be harvested after drying.

So, after Song Laoer took the people there, he told them where to harvest in the field, and Song Laoer hurried back to harvest the wheat in the village with everyone.

Mrs. Li was used to being lazy and slippery, so when she went to the fields, she thought about how to take advantage of it. "Second sister-in-law, I heard that you hired a day laborer to help harvest the wheat. Why don't you just ask the day laborer to harvest the wheat for our family so that everyone will not be tired." The story of Song's second family buying land spread in the village. , there are people who are envious and jealous for a while, and Li Shi is one of them.Hearing that Song Laoer had paid for a day laborer named Maizi, he began to make calculations in his heart again.

To be honest, Mrs. He felt a little embarrassed when Mrs. Li said that. She just looked up and looked at Mrs. Song and Zhang. She really didn't know how to reply Mrs. Li.

"Sister-in-law three, I want to hire day laborers to help harvest the wheat, how much do you plan to spend?" Wang Xiu'er asked suddenly.

"Who said I'm going to take money?" When Li Shi heard that she was going to take money, she immediately got mad and yelled loudly.The man cutting the wheat on the other side also heard it, and everyone stood up and looked at Mrs. Li.

"Since there is no money, then hire the short-term workers from there." Wang Xiu'er said.Wang Xiuer and Song Lao Si were able to combine, and Liuya contributed a lot. Seeing He's being bullied, Wang Xiuer couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Second brother's family can afford money to buy land, and hire one or two part-time workers for the family. Can't they afford money? If you have money, you are reluctant to spend some money to hire part-time workers. When you have something, you know how to find a brother. Not even a single fart." After speaking, Li snorted coldly.

"Second sister-in-law, don't forget that we have already separated. Even if the second elder brother's family has money, he uses the money to hire part-time workers. It is because he is kind and doesn't want everyone to suffer. Besides, the second elder brother is not obliged to take the money. Come out and help everyone hire part-time workers to harvest wheat, and let everyone stay at home and do nothing." Wang Xiu'er couldn't understand Li's attitude, and said very bluntly.

"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about all day? Why does the second child hire day laborers? It's not because he is afraid of you, a villain, making irresponsible remarks, so he thinks of hiring day laborers. If we don't hire day laborers, let's first The wheat here is harvested, and then I will go to Xiahe Village to help the second child harvest, so why don't you do it?" Old man Song rolled his eyes at Li Shi, and continued to work.

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but when she saw Youngest Song staring at her, she didn't dare to pay attention, and hurriedly lowered her body to cut the wheat.

Of course, Liuya and the others don't know about the episode in the field.They are also very busy at home.Although Erya and the others didn't go to the fields this year, they were very busy at home.

The day laborers went to the field very early to cut the wheat. They had just finished their breakfast and washed the pots and dishes when some day laborers came back with whole sacks of wheat.The yard had been swept clean a long time ago, and the wheat came back and was directly placed in the yard.

Erya and the others stepped forward to dry the entire bar of wheat, so that Song Laoer and the others could beat it with a flail, so that the ears of wheat on the root of the barley could fall off into wheat.And Erya and the others can't use the flail now, but it's also hard for them.They found two benches, and then went to move a stone and put the stone on the bench.Pick up the freshly cut wheat roots in small handfuls, and beat them vigorously on the stone slab. Every time you beat, the wheat will fall off from the top, and beat continuously until the top is clean. The watch stem is still moved to one side, and then repeat the previous action.

It seems that threshing wheat is an easy way of life, but it is not.This job is dirty and tiring, every time you hit it, there will be a lot of dust, even if you are fully armed, your body will still be dirty.Moreover, the wheat had to be beaten hard to fall off, so Liu Ya said it was a dirty and tiring job.

But no matter how dirty or tiring it is, this job has to be done. You can't push it all to Song Lao Er and his wife. They are also tired when they go to the field, and they have to work at home when they go home. They can only play as much as they want. It can be regarded as lightening the burden on the two of them.

The Zhang family also bought land this year, and they also hired part-time workers, but their family is different from Liuya’s family. Their family does all the dry and clean work, which means that all wheat harvesting, threshing, and drying are outsourced. , Just waiting to hand in Rui, Maizi entered his house.Therefore, the whole village is busy and bustling, only his house is quiet.

Seeing that Zhang Haoxuan had nothing to do, Liuya could only stand aside enviously.

Zhang Haoxuan saw Liuya and the sisters taking off their wheat, and asked curiously, "Liuya, didn't your family hire short-term labor? Why do you still have to work?"

Liuya gave the young master a blank look, "My father is afraid of spending too much money, so he just asks them to bring back the harvested wheat. We still have to rely on us to remove the wheat." After Liuya finished speaking, she saw Zhang Haoxuan staring at them all the time. Work, blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, you have never done this kind of thing, why don't you come and try it."

"Zhang Haoxuan, don't listen to Liuya's nonsense, you are a scholar, you can do these things there." Erya said quickly after hearing what Liuya said.In Erya's eyes, ever since Zhang Haoxuan returned to the village, she felt that this person was just like them, that this person looked like a girl, with a white and quiet appearance, and he was not suitable for work at first glance.After knowing that he went to school in the town, he was even more sure.

"Second sister, what you said is wrong. What's wrong with scholars, shouldn't scholars work? Should scholars not distinguish between grains? Let me tell you, you should call those scholars to do some farm work. These people know that every piece of food on the plate is hard. If they know the hard work of being farmers, they will squeeze us farmers less. If this is the case, I don’t know how many corrupt officials will be reduced.”

"That's right, Liuya is right, we should do this. Let those officials know that our food is not so easy to grow." Siya stood aside, took off her straw hat, and said while fanning the wind .

"Brother Zhang, my fourth sister said so, so you can try it." Liuya said with a smile.

Zhang Haoxuan saw that Liu Ya had already said that, if he pushes back, the Song family sisters will definitely think that if he becomes an official, he must be that corrupt official.Helpless, he had no choice but to do as Liuya taught, and hit it a bit, and thought it was very interesting, but after a few hits in a row, his hand began to be sore, dust got into his clothes, and his body started to itch.

But if he loses his hand now, Liu Ya and the others will definitely think that he can't bear it.He had no choice but to endure it. As Liu Ya said, it was hard work every step of the way.

At noon, when Song Laoer and Mrs. He came back from their way of life, they were relieved to see Zhang Haoxuan helping to thresh the wheat. They felt that the child was a good boy, and they came to help him when they knew his family was busy. "Xuanzi, why are you here to work at my house, put it down quickly, don't be tired in such a hot day."

"Father, don't try to persuade him, Liuya said to let him know what it means to work hard." Siya said with a smile.

"What?" Song Laoer asked puzzled.

"Father, don't ask if you don't know, all you need to know is that Brother Zhang likes to help our family. Brother Zhang, don't you think so?"

Zhang Haoxuan bit the bullet and nodded.After hearing this, Song Lao Er felt that this child was really good, and Buhuai was Zhang Tiezhu's son.

Song Laoer didn't know that Zhang Haoxuan regretted it very much now, regretting that he shouldn't have come to join in the fun.If he had been reading in the house, how could he have suffered this crime.After finally seeing Song Lao Er came back, he thought it was time to call it a day, so he thought that Song Lao Er and He Shi didn't take a break in anger, went home and picked up Lianka and began to beat the wheat that Liuya and the others had dried in the yard.

He Shi and Song Laoer fought in the front, and Liuya and Qiya helped in the back. After they finished the first round, they could turn around and fight the second time.Zhang Haoxuan saw that the two girls who were younger than him could persevere, so it was nothing for a man to suffer so much.Gritting his teeth, he continued to work hard.

After a while, Erya cooked lunch, everyone washed their hands, and went to eat.

"Xuanzi, it must be very tiring for you to be a scholar to do farm work. Don't help Uncle Song in the afternoon, you'd better go home and read." Song Laoer was very happy that Zhang Haoxuan could come to help with the work.But this child is not like the other children in the village. He has helped the family with work since he was a child. If he does this all of a sudden for a day, his small body will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Father, why? Don't you think it's not a good deal for him to work less and still eat at our house?" Liu Ya looked at Zhang Haoxuan jokingly and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? I'm not worried that he won't be able to take it with his small body." Song Er Er scolded with a smile.

"Uncle Song, don't worry. I know my body well. If I'm tired, you don't need to tell me. I know how to rest." Being looked at by Liu Ya, Zhang Haoxuan couldn't say what he promised.

"That's okay, you haven't worked before, so don't force yourself." Seeing Zhang Haoxuan's insistence, Song Laoer didn't say anything else.

With Zhang Haoxuan's promise, he was on board a thief.After finishing work in the afternoon and having dinner at Song's house, Liuya said to Zhang Haoxuan, "Brother Zhang, thank you today. Come to help early tomorrow." In this way, after the Song family finished harvesting wheat, Zhang Haoxuan came from six Ya hands out of the bitter sea.
