farmer's daughter

Chapter 93
Chapter 93 Looks like I understand
The annual autumn harvest has begun to get busy.The school is also on vacation, and the scholars and students are asked to go home to help.It's just that among these scholars, how many of them will go to the field to help?It would be nice if his family took care of him without working hard.

But fortunately, the children of Liang's family were very well-behaved. Under Liang Shengyue's leadership, one counted as another, and they all went to the ground.No matter how much can be done.But it all worked out.There are many people in the Liang family, and even though they have a lot of land, once everything starts, no one will be free.The head of the Liang family, Liang Zhongqiu, took his three sons and several grandchildren down to the ground.Curious, Xue Jian also went to see how to harvest rice, but saw that several cousins ​​were bending over to cut down the harvest, and the little cousin carried a small pile of small piles back and forth to a larger pile.Then the two uncles took a wooden bucket that was bigger than the table and put it in the field. They stood on one side, holding a handful of rice, and threw it to the side of the bucket vigorously.With this shake, the mature rice was shaken into the wooden barrel. After repeated beatings in this way, it was only after seeing that the ears of rice were gone that they changed them again.This is physical work!

Xue Jian sighed, remembering the kind of threshing machine that was stepped on when she was a child.It doesn't use the motor, and it saves a lot of effort than this.I heard from sister Xia.Every year after harvesting the rice, the arms of the two uncles would be swollen for a long time.

Liang Sheng, who was passing by Xuejian, heard Xuejian sigh more, and said with a smile:

"Why? Do you feel that you are not happy without going to the fields?"

Xuejian replied without looking back:
"No, I was thinking about how to let the two uncles harvest the grain with a little force. This is very tiring, and such a wide field, if you swing it like this, your arms will definitely hurt."

The little uncle stared at Xuejian, and felt that the child's starting point for thinking about problems was different.I have also seen big harvesting millet since I was a child.It is very fast to do this at home.It's just that if you are a little tired, you will waste some grain.But that is also a minority.Others' families were afraid of losing the millet, so they cut off the ears of rice in the field with a knife, and then took them back and smoothed them off.

But seeing Xue'er seriously watching the two uncles swinging the rice, Liang Shengyue didn't speak any more, and shook his head, not knowing what the granddaughter was thinking.Now he is convinced.The things in this child's head are different from what everyone thinks.

When Xue'er got home, she was still thinking about making a threshing machine.When the millet in the field had thumped enough, grandpa brought it back and dumped it in the yard of the house, and the grandma and aunts in the family were responsible for spreading it out to dry and cleaning the grass.Anyway, the whole family is busy harvesting rice.The matter of taking Xiaoyuewei and Chengwu was left to Xiaocao and Xuejian.Fortunately, Yuewei is also very obedient, and spends all day on the kang with her bridesmaids, and Xiao Chengwu also nurses and hugs her out for a while, changing diapers, and so on, as long as there is grass.

The funniest thing is Ning Yuanzhi, who seems to have never seen such things as rice, and quietly followed Xuejian to watch the rice threshing.He wanted to go to the fields but was stopped by Liang Shengyue.But he was fine and reached out to pull the ear of rice.When I got home, I compared the sun-dried millet with the rice, and seemed to understand.Chengwen also ran up and down behind him.Fortunately, he took Chengwen well.Everyone was relieved, seeing that everyone was busy, he also took Chengwen to the study to write.

Another one who didn't go out during the busy season was Liang Xia.Liang Xia came back from the embroidery job and thought about it carefully. The next morning, she took it to the backyard to ask her sister-in-law for advice. Under Liang Chengfang's guidance, she started making pillowcases.I am rushing to do it every day.The family is still busy.Just let her go.Liang Fei followed her sister to embroider some handkerchiefs or something.It can be regarded as obedient and not causing trouble.

Xue Jian saw that the younger brother and younger sister were both asleep.I turned around and went into the study, picked up a brush and wanted to draw something, but I couldn't figure out how to draw it.Just stood there without moving.Look at Xuejian sitting for a while with a pen in hand but not writing anything, Ning Yuanzhi and Chengwen looked at each other, Chengwen stepped forward and asked:

"Sister, what do you want to write?"

Xuejian looked at Chengwen in confusion, then said after a moment:
"Oh, I didn't want to write anything. It's just that I can't draw. I want to draw something. But I can't draw well."

While talking, he looked at the brush in his hand.This thing is not as easy to use as a modern pencil.Think about it, isn't it possible to draw with charcoal?At least that's hard.Xue Jian put down the brush in his hand.Quickly ran to the front yard.

The first aunt and the second aunt are still turning over the recovered rice in the drying dam.Sister Shuang was picking vegetables at the kitchen door.Xue Jian rushed into the kitchen in a flash.Go to the stove to find unburned charcoal.After finding it, he ran away quickly.Let the second aunt laugh and say:
"I'm afraid this kid is thinking about what to do again. Look at that anxious look."

The eldest aunt also laughed and said:

"I think so too."

When Xuejian came to the backyard, she didn't draw on the paper first, but just drew on a flat stone slab on the ground.It's just drawn a little crookedly.Thinking while drawing, I drew for a long time.Feel wrong again.Wiping, rubbing and painting, the stone slab was blackened by one person, and I didn't see what she was painting.In the end, I was discouraged.A man sat there sulking.Because it was so hot, Xue Jian, who was concentrating on her work, didn't notice that every time she wiped the sweat with her hands, she wiped her little face black.

At noon, everyone in the field came back to prepare for dinner.Just started to do it, and several scholars felt that the waist was too bent.One by one, they walked home with their waists bent.After sitting down, he didn't want to move anymore, but Liang Sheng felt that he should change his clothes so that he could do it again in the afternoon.Come to the backyard.Seeing a child sitting on the ground in front of his house, he called out:
"Cher."

Xue Jian looked up sadly.Liang's voice became louder and louder.

"what"

It shocked everyone inside and outside the house.Jun Shuang ran in from the outer courtyard to take a look, and laughed too.When Chengwen and Ning Yuanzhi came out from the room, they only saw Xuejian's back, but they didn't smile.Jun Xiao and the others also came in one by one, and finally the backyard burst into laughter.

Jun Lin burst into tears.But Xue Jian was still very confused, not knowing what he did wrong, looked at them blankly and smiled, then looked at the ground himself.He stood up suddenly, and shouted with wide eyes:
"Why are you laughing, I just stained a slate with my painting. I'll wash it off in a while."

After speaking, he raised his hand and stroked his hair.All of a sudden, I caught a glimpse of my hands, and instantly knew what they were laughing at.He glared at the little uncle angrily and said:
"Little uncle is the worst. He laughed at me when he saw that I was making a fool of myself."

It was difficult for Liang Sheng to control his smile.road:

"Yes, it's my uncle's fault. Cough cough. Go wash it up. What are you doing here to make it so dark."

Xue Jian burst into tears and said:

"Father, I see that you are too tired, so I want to draw a threshing thing for you. The painting is not good. I am thinking here. You are still laughing at me!"
