Hua Laozi is really distressed. She has shed so much blood and needs so much to make up for it. She not only feels sorry for people but also for things.
"Don't worry, children grow up quickly. They will grow back quickly if they eat more good food." Mrs. Lin naturally picked up the flowers and said the old woman liked it.
"I'd like to lend you some good words," Mrs. Hua smiled back.
"It must be, by the way..." Mrs. Lin glanced at the rhubarb pulling the cart, and then gave Mrs. Hua a flattering smile: "Sister, will your rhubarb be rented out this year? I want to come here to queue up. Number."
"The rent is still the same as last year, but one thing is that I have to wait until my house is finished." Mrs. Hua was not surprised. As soon as the old woman came over, she knew what she was doing. After all, there were only a few livestock in the village. When the farming season came, The schedule is full and we are busy until midnight every day.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to rely on manual labor. It wastes too much time. If you have this time, you might as well work more in the fields in the dark and grab the grains from the fields and take them home to dry as soon as possible.
Of course, the prices are not too expensive since they are from the countryside, but it can’t be in vain.
However, this old lady was nice to talk to and a good person. Old lady Hua was still happy to talk to her and willing to sell her the favor, so she immediately agreed happily.
"I know, I know, then it's settled. When my sister's home is finished, let our boss pull the oxcart. Be sure to be the first in line for our family!" Mrs. Lin warned again uneasily, and she was affirmed. Leave satisfied after replying.
I thought to myself that I was lucky to be fast, otherwise I don’t know where I would have ranked.
As soon as she left, several more people gathered around her, all lining up to rent a bullock cart. Even Hua Laohan, the village chief, and Hua Chengtian were surrounded by people.
The same is true for several other households with livestock. The livestock carts are almost always fully booked at night.
During this important period, even stingy people know what is important and what is light, and they are willing to part with a few coins even when they feel distressed.
Don't underestimate these few copper coins. There are more than 200 households in the village. Although not all households can rent livestock carts, so many households can still earn a few coins in a few days.
Otherwise, those who are rich will become richer and richer. This is the benefit brought by those who are willing to invest.
In other words, Hua Laohan's family has two money-burning scholars, otherwise life would be more comfortable.
The people in the village here dispersed in twos and threes after receiving satisfactory answers.
From the village all the way to the fields, the atmosphere was always good, and there was no such thing as the most extreme swearing that Hua Jin thought.
Yes, they are all busy on their way, and worried about running out of work in the fields. Who would waste time on such an important moment?
As soon as they arrived at the field, they greeted the surrounding houses and asked Hua Jin to guard the oxcart and eat under the shade of the trees. After telling them not to wander around, the family went down to the field without saying much, wearing hats and sickles and fully armed.
Hua Jin just sat on the ground and watched her family and the people around her waving the sickle enthusiastically. She had only seen this scene in TV movies before, and she never thought that one day she would actually be there. when.
Even if she didn't go to the ground, just looking at the scene of sweating like rain made Hua Jin feel hot in her heart. She wished she could go to the ground together and help out.
But just thinking about it, even though she felt that her health was almost healed, her family still treated her as a fragile porcelain doll. If she really fell to the ground, she would be either helping or causing trouble.
Thinking about it, Hua Jin still sat obediently on the ground.
As the sun gradually rose, the wheat in the home field also fell piece by piece, and was slowly transported to the field by the younger brother and the younger brother. Hua Jin also hurriedly got up to help.
It's said to be helping, but in fact it's the younger brother who is really helping.
Although she was mentally prepared for the output in ancient times, Hua Jin couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the short rows of wheat ears.
The wheat ears are short, not to mention that the main kernels are not plump enough. It is strange that the yield can be high. It is strange that these can fill the stomach. Hua Jin sighed inwardly.
But then Hua Jin had no time to think about it, and spent it busy helping and delivering tea.
At noon, the family had lunch on the ground, then rested for half an hour, and then continued the busy day until nightfall.
Maybe her health was still bad, but even though she didn't do much work, Hua Jin still felt like her face was numb by the afternoon, and she was a little starry-eyed.
In order not to worry her family, Hua Jin endured it. You can imagine how tired people would be if they had no time to work in the fields.
In this way, every day I prepare the food for the day early in the morning, and then I am busy all day long.
During this period, Hua Jin felt sorry for everyone who secretly mixed some white flour into the fine grains at home. She secretly mixed some white flour into it every day so that the cook, Nai He, didn't notice. She even secretly poured some into the mung bean soup. white sugar.
These days, Huajin is exploring more and more about the space house. For example, if you open a bag and can’t finish it all at once, the copying function will be suspended until the bag is eaten before you can start copying. Got it from an opened bag of sugar.
But more can only be explored slowly.
This busy work lasted for a few days until all the ten acres of land at home were harvested, dried, and the taxes were paid before I could breathe a sigh of relief.
Then Hua Jin watched with heartache as her grandfather and father left only a few fine grains, and sold the rest, exchanged them for money and coarse grains and put them in the grain cellar at home.
Hua Jin silently calculated an account. Her family owned more than ten acres of land. Even so, the grain harvest was only about three thousand and less than four thousand. With the family's appetite, the spring and autumn harvests were enough to fill their stomachs, but she wanted to It is a bit difficult to have extra money for my brothers to study.
You must know that reading is a costly matter at any time.
Not to mention that more farmers only have a few acres of land at home, or even several acres of land without relying on the land rented from the landlords. Needless to say, life is difficult, not to mention that it is good to be able to eat half full. Where's the remaining money?
Hua Jin once again experienced the hardships of the peasant family, and was once again glad that the life at home was still tolerable, and that it was not in hell mode from the beginning.
Do you think you can be idle after the busy farming season? Of course not. Then comes the next crop of grain, which is another busy scene.
With all the work in the fields finished, Hua Jin's injuries were basically healed, and the scar on the back of her head had fallen off on its own. Her family no longer restrained her, but as the culprit behind her injuries, the village back She wouldn't be allowed to climb the mountain for a short period of time.
Looking at the towering mountains behind the village, to be honest, Hua Jin was really eager to try.
Autumn is the time of harvest and there should be a lot of good things in the mountains. As the only one in the family who has nothing to eat, she still wants to do something for the family, not just light a fire and help pick vegetables. .
And seeing Xiaosi helping the family with the housework every day, she was the only one who did the least and I always felt guilty.
Although you can earn a little money by tying knots for a nurse, it is still a small amount of money. It is far from enough to earn enough for the fourth child to go to school.
