158 Theft
At around 03:30, Zhu Li came to pick up herbal tea on time.Several people went out together.

Zhu Guozhong and the others went to their field and found that the harvester placed by the field was missing.My heart suddenly jumped.

Two lines of mud prints on the ground stretched from the Zhu family's land to the distance.Zhu Guozhong took his son to search along the mud prints, and stopped when he saw that the harvester in the field not far away was being controlled by someone else.

Zhu Guozhong just watched it from a distance, and didn't go forward to take the harvester back.After that, he went back home with a sullen face.

Zhu Fangming also followed without saying a word, without raising any objections.

Seeing her father-in-law and her husband coming back empty-handed, Su Ya stood up from under the tree and looked at her husband with questioning eyes.

Zhu Fangming sighed and signaled her not to ask.Instead, he asked Zhu Guozhong: "Dad, then we..."

Zhu Guozhong waved his hand: "Go home and get two sickles. If there is no harvester, why don't you engage in double robbery?" After a pause, he said: "Don't talk about this matter when you go back. I'm already busy, and it will delay things even more if I make a fuss."

Seeing Zhu Fangming going back and forth, taking out two sickles in the tool room and leaving, Lian Yao was very puzzled.It's just that she hasn't personally participated in the double grab after all, and she didn't understand many things, so she didn't ask much.

After the mung bean paste was cooked in the afternoon, I asked Shang Weilin to continue delivering the mung bean paste to the field.

Lianyao originally only had four acres of land. Although Wu Qingfeng and the others were not proficient enough at the beginning, it took some time, but now they have all collected it.The next step is to thresh.After threshing, the millet needs to be sun-dried for a few days.The last is peeling.At that time, the rice will really become the white rice that everyone sees.

Wu Qingfeng and Lin Bao were loading the car, when they saw Lian Yao approaching, they stopped and patted the ashes on their bodies before leaning over.

Standing on the side of the road, Lianyao looked at the bare land in a golden paddy field that had already been harvested, and exclaimed, "Senior brother, it's been harvested so soon?"

Wu Qingfeng swallowed the sweet, glutinous and smooth mung bean paste in his mouth, looked at Lian Yao's fair face shining under the sun, and his eyes were filled with soft light: "It's natural to use a harvester faster. Uncle Guozhong's house should harvest it tomorrow and another day." It's over."

"Then..." Lian Yao saw that there was no movement in many places, and couldn't help asking: "Do you want to lend our harvester to others?"

"I won't take the initiative to lend it out. Even if I ask to borrow the machine, it depends on who it is." Wu Qingfeng's meaning is very clear, and there is no need to think about it if the relationship is not good.

Lian Yao raised her eyebrows, but did not express her opinion.Senior brother thought she didn't understand anything, but she still knew a little bit.After all, her five senses are a little bit better than ordinary people, isn't it?

Seeing that they had finished drinking, Lian Yao continued to walk towards Zhu Guozhong's house.

"Hey, Sister Su Ya, why do Uncle Guozhong and the others want to do it themselves? What about the harvester?"

Su Ya raised her head and wiped off the sweat, her tanned red face was covered with a lot of dust.Seeing Lian Yao's question, she turned her head to look at her husband in the field, hesitant to speak: "I don't know either. The harvester was gone when I came here."

Lian Yao frowned.Ask Zhu Guozhong again, he only said that he borrowed it.If you want to ask again, you refuse to say anything, just drink a bowl of mung bean paste and go to the ground.

Over there, Su Ya touched the blood blister on her husband's hand with a bit of heartache.Zhu Fangming smiled innocently: "It's okay, just go back and rub some Yaoyao's medicine."

Seeing Lian Yao looking over, she quickly gave Su Ya a look, and hurriedly followed his father back to the field.

Lian Yao held her breath a little, stomped her foot, and ran back to complain to her senior brother.

Wu Qingfeng heard the little junior sister complain, and went to the field of Zhu Guozhong's house without saying a word about the harvester he used.

Zhu Guozhong took over the harvester, his face a little embarrassed.Lian Yao is soft-hearted and easy to be fooled, but Wu Qingfeng is a tough one.He didn't need to speak, just staring at him with those dark eyes was enough for him to feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Guozhong could only grumble: "A few acres of land have been collected in the morning, and the rest will not take two days even if you collect it yourself. There is no need to worry too much about some things, right?"

Unable to withstand Wu Qingfeng's pressure, Zhu Guozhong finally told the truth.It turned out that it was Wu Qingfeng's uncle's family who took the harvester.Although he was dissatisfied that their family didn't ask for it, the harvester really belonged to Wu Qingfeng's family. Even though he had a bad relationship with his family, rural people value family affection, and their family was indeed more qualified to use it than his own.In order to avoid further disturbances between the two families, he took the initiative to hide the matter.I didn't want to hide it completely, I just wanted to delay it for a while.

After listening to Zhu Guozhong's words, Wu Qingfeng turned around without saying a word and walked towards Wu Haicheng's house.

Wu Haicheng is Wu Qingfeng's uncle, he is timid and fearful.Just because he definitely didn't dare to put his hand on his own head, it must be instigated by the nominal grandfather Wu Siqi or the sharp and mean wife Dulan.

Wu Siqi was standing on the edge of the field with his hands behind his back, watching the rice in his field fall one by one with a smile on his face.

"After all, machines are faster than people. Look at the cuts, which are clean and tidy. You don't need to tie them yourself, and you can plow the ground along the way. I don't know how much trouble is saved."

They have many families and no separation, and they occupy Wu Qingfeng's four acres of land, so they have a total of more than 30 acres of land to requisition.I don't know how many days it will take to harvest by hand alone.In this kind of weather, when the rice is harvested, people have to lose half their lives.

"It's a pity that it's not a combine harvester. Otherwise, even threshing would be saved." Dulan next to him stood with his hips akimbo, with a somewhat complacent face, but unavoidably dissatisfied. "Dad, that thresher..."

The harvester was taken while no one was around. Even if they knew that Zhu Guozhong's family was honest, even if they approached him, they would still have a way to silence him and go back in despair.

Facts have proved that their estimates were correct.When Zhu Guozhong came, they had already seen it, but they didn't see it at all.And sure enough, Zhu Guozhong went back without even asking.

Wu Haihua dragged the empty cart back to the field, only then did Wu Siqi and Du Lan come out from the shade of the trees, and continued to push bundles of rice handles onto the cart.

"Dad, Lianyao only has four acres of land. It should be harvested by now, right? It would be great if we could get that harvester too."

The harvester only needs two people to take turns to control it, and the rest can only be carried.Now obviously everyone is waiting for the harvest.If there is another harvester, the manpower on both sides will be distributed, which will be just balanced.

Wu Siqi looked at the two grandsons standing under the tree hiding in the shade, and at the speed of the harvester, thought for a while and said, "I'll take Qingyu back to threshing, and ask your wife to push the cart for you. QY... Substitute with his uncle."

Wu QY is the youngest grandson, Cai, who is in the second year of high school in the town.The school came back after the busy farming holiday.This kid is too outrageous and hates farm work, so if he were to thresh, he would definitely be in a mess.However, seeing that he is still a bit new to the harvester, he is probably willing to get started and enjoy himself.

Wu Haihua had no objection to this arrangement.My wife always suffers from that shrew who went to the eldest brother's house.It was said that two people did it together, but in the end the sister-in-law did all she could to talk about it, and it was all done by her own wife.
