Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 47

Around August [-]th, everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, and the rice in Du Yu's family was about to be harvested, and everyone had to go to the fields to cut the rice.

But when everyone looked at the rice, it was not as big as in previous years, and the ears were sparse, and the output was estimated to be only one-third of the original.

This is what the third uncle and the others said. The land that has been planted for more than ten years can still be calculated.

But because the rice is harvested, there is no need to pay additional land taxes, and as much as the rice is harvested, everyone is still very motivated.

Du Yu was picking up rice ears with a basket in the back, while the elders in front tied up all the rice ears, and there would definitely be a speck of rice left in the middle, and this was what Du Yu wanted to pick up.

Fortunately, there is no rain, and I don't worry about sudden rain, and then the rice rots in the ground and sprouts.

If the harvest can be completed before August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival can still be celebrated well.

When it was almost noon, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Gao would take turns to go back to cook for everyone, and Du Yu would follow along to help.

If you do physical work, you must eat something good, otherwise you will not be strong enough and there will be no oil in your stomach, so at this time, the Qi family is very willing to use oil, and will send people to the butcher's house to cut some meat every few days , anyhow, there is oil and gas.

Thanks to Du Yu's copying of the scriptures last time, the money in Qi's hands is quite ample, and he can make up for everyone from time to time.

The rice in Du Yu's house was harvested soon, but there was an episode in the middle.Over there, Mrs. Zhang will work together with them to harvest crops.This time, the Qi family did not agree with life or death.

Just kidding, she doesn't know what Zhang's plan is?I usually despise them for having a lot of people, but at this time, I think they are strong and labor-intensive, thinking about using them hard, they are too thick-skinned!
In addition, there is a donkey in their family, which is entirely for the help of their big house. The Qi family has already had a big fight with the Zhang family because of their second son, and now they have to go there, that is the door nothing!
According to Qi's statement, she doesn't care for others' help, she has many sons, so she doesn't need to ask others!
In the past, when my son was young, he was disliked by others for doing less work and more for idle food, but now the situation is completely reversed!Qi Shi also had the confidence to speak.

Du Yu felt that Grandma was really forgetful. She had completely forgotten what she had done before, so she still had the nerve to come over and make this request.She only wanted to use people to death, but when it was time to eat, she was very stingy, and she didn't even have any oil or water. Who would be willing to go there.

After finishing the harvesting of rice, there are also those sweet potatoes and sorghum corn, etc., but don't worry, Du Yu is now at home watching the harvested rice and drying it in the yard.

When the new rice is harvested, there is a lot of moisture. If it is not dried in the sun, it will easily become moldy when it is piled up.And it is easy to grow a kind of worm, which is black and small.

I took a wooden rake and raked it back and forth several times, turning the rice over.It is also necessary to drive away the sparrows and other things that come to steal.

Even if Yufen came and asked her to go out to play, it would not work, because she wanted to watch.

Yufen said: "I don't need me at home. My mother said, let me stay in the house well, and it's not good if I get tanned outside."

The little girl was in a panic again, because her family also hired short-term labor, so the family was not very busy.

It is indeed very good to be an upright person in the village, at least the standard of living is higher than others.

As for the water truck, their family is definitely the first one, and it will be the turn of others after their family uses it first.

Qin Decai's family also has a lot of land, so it's normal to hire part-time workers, who can afford them.

But Yufenniang was a bit stingy, and asked the day laborer to take care of a meal at noon. She seldom used meat, and they were all vegetarian dishes.According to Yufenniang, it would be nice to be able to treat her to a lunch, but it is impossible to eat meat all at once.

Everyone knows that Qin Decai's wife is a little picky, but those day laborers don't want to eat for a bite, they still want to earn that wage, and they don't pay attention to whether they eat meat or not.

Besides, Li Zheng's family was not something they could afford to offend.As for who made this statement, it is unknown.

Du Yu was speechless after hearing Yufen's words. What can she say?You can't flatter and say, oh, you are very white, really white!That's an idiot, okay?She can't do that either.

As for the little girl Yufen, her nature is not bad, but she has to compare herself with Du Yu from time to time, such as comparing her hair, who is whiter, and who is more beautiful, and all kinds of comparisons like this.

But the little girl didn't sneer at Du Yu's father because he didn't work in the town anymore. In view of this, the friendship between Du Yu and her has always been there.

"Your mother didn't let you learn from female celebrities?" Du Yu asked, picking up a topic.

Yufen said: "Why not? I am afraid when I see needles and threads. Look at my hands, I have many needle holes. I sneaked out this time. Don't tell others."

Du Yu was amused, but nodded quickly. Yufen watched Du Yu sitting under the locust tree, holding a bamboo pole in his hand to drive away birds.

"When did you learn the characters? I don't know why." Yufen asked.

Du Yu said: "My father and elder brother are both good at it, so I will follow suit." Everyone in the village knows about their family.There is no need to hide it.

However, it couldn't be that the last time I went to the White Horse Temple, people knew about it.They didn't tell the outside about this, anyway, their whole family is not that kind of big-mouthed person.It's enough to make money in private, so why make everyone know about it?And she is a girl, so it is not very good to be said.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. She doesn't want to be that famous person.

Yufen was envious and jealous. Although her father was Li Zheng and her family was richer than others, she still couldn't read a single word.

In addition to his elder brother who could read a few characters, his father could also read a few characters, and the others could not read a single big character.

Yufen feels that she is better than Du Yu in everything, but now that she is illiterate, she is no better than Du Yu.

Just like that, Yufen just felt sore in her heart, and she didn't say that she wanted to learn to read from Du Yu. After all, she was taught since childhood that a woman's lack of talent is virtue.Reading and literacy is not what girls should do.

But when Du Yu admitted that she could read and write, Yufen couldn't help being jealous.

I always feel that I am inferior now!When Du Yu saw Yufen's expression, she knew what she was thinking. This little girl is just too strong, and she can't see that others are better than her. Would be so unflattering.

Let the little girl regulate herself.The little girl quickly recovered from the blow, and said to Du Yu with a smile: "In autumn at our family, we have watermelons to eat, the ones are sandy and very sweet, and my father said that there is less rain this year, that's why it's like that. "

It means, my family has watermelon, but yours does not, so you are envious.

In order to satisfy the little girl's vanity, Du Yu exaggeratedly said: "You guys still have watermelons at this time, it's amazing!"

"That's right! My father got it from Qin Yuanwai's house. Does Qin Yuanwai know? It's the Yuanwai's house where your Du Liu lives. His family is rich. The house is big and spacious, and there are beautiful things everywhere." There are flowers, pavilions, bridges, and red fish. The cabinets in one of their houses are bigger than ours. The owners of the Qin family are all dressed very well. They are all silk and satin. He wears gold jewelry on his head, and several gold rings on his hands, with bright eyes.

The food is also good, they also eat that kind of red rice, which is called rouge rice, which is very delicious.And dim sum and pastries, which I never had. "

Yufen kept describing what she saw and heard in Qin's house, as if it was heaven.

"Have you ever been to Qin Yuanwai's house?" Du Yu asked, Yufen must like this topic.

Sure enough, Yufen went on to say excitedly: "Of course I have been there! You don't know, the waterwheel in our village was made with the money paid by Mr. Qin's family. My father went in to thank Mr. Qin, and then said that the harvest in our village Well, I went with my dad, and I didn't dare to move around casually there, but everyone liked me very much when they saw me. They said I was good-looking." Yufen never forgot her narcissism.

"It's just that their family is so strange, some people still call them Auntie, and we all call them Auntie, but they actually call them Auntie, don't you think it's strange?" Yufen said.

That child was born by that aunt, how could he be called aunt instead of mother?

After all, she is a girl who grew up in the countryside. It is probably the first time she has entered such a big family, so she does not understand the rules here. Du Yu kindly explained to her, "As long as it is not born by the wife of the main house, you have to call your biological mother an aunt." !"

Yufen hurriedly said: "That's a lot of disadvantages, I've been depressed for a lifetime, how do you know?"

Du Yu said: "It's said in the books that in a big family, all the children have to be called mothers, and others can only be called aunts. Otherwise, the rules will be broken and you will be punished."

"Tsk tsk, if you say it like this, there is nothing good about this big family." What's so good about not being a mother?If someone wouldn't allow herself to call her mother her mother, she would definitely not do it.She has to make a scene!
When Yufen went back, she told her mother about it, and Yufen's mother said, "You little kid, why do you know this? How old are you? What do you know?"

Yufen said: "I went to Du Yu's place. I heard it from Qin Yuanwai last time. I thought it was strange, so I told Du Yu about it."

"You mean, Du Yu told you?" Yufenniang asked.

Yufen nodded, "She said she read it from a book. Mom, is it true?"
