Chapter 45

Busy Farming Festival

Time flies and the busy farming season is coming, and the two brothers Li Mingyi are also back to help.

This year, a batch of wheat was poured, and it was very difficult for everyone to cut it.

Only then did Zhao Yunlan truly feel the hard work of the farmers.

"Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard to work."

The fields are full of men, women, young and old, and the sickles in everyone's hands are constantly waving. At noon, women use baskets to carry food to the field to deliver food, and the children follow them with a kettle. Zhao Yunlan is no exception, after all, everyone in the family is in hand.

not enough.

Zhao Yunlan followed him to the ground to harvest wheat early in the morning. Seeing that the time was almost time, she had to go home to cook. Wang had already focused all her energy on taking care of Xiaobao, while Li Mingren was clearly on the busy farming holiday, but she still didn't come back.

Zhao Yunlan silently remembered another sentence in her heart.

Old Man Li and his men were roasting the hot sun on their backs, and their feet were fumigated by the heat on the ground. They were exhausted so much that they forgot the heat. They just thought about collecting the wheat quickly and pulled it to the wheat field to dry it. Old Man Li and his men were added.

The calf took five days to harvest the wheat.

While Old Man Li and his friends were drying wheat in the wheat field, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingmei took Xiaobao to pick up the fallen wheat ears.

The fields are filled with the sounds of children and birds.

Zhao Yunlan also successfully tanned a circle during this busy farming season.

This year, almost all the grain harvests in Lijia Village were bad. Fortunately, Zhao Yunlan gave a recipe for sweet potato flour. At present, those who want to sell sweet potato flour will find Zhao Yunlan, so that everyone will not be so tight after paying taxes.

.

This year, Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingmei and Li Mingli to pay the tax. Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingli to take half of the grain tax, and took his other half of the money tax to the village chief.

In the town, Li Mingyi and Li Mingzhi have been back and opened a shop for several days. Today, the county government's constable came to Qingshui Town to post a notice of labor service. Li Mingyi and his brothers were in the shop listening to the diners saying that they were going to collect labor service. They were busy.

I don't have the chance to inquire even if my feet don't touch the ground.

When the two of them closed, they closed the door and went to the sign to look, saying that they would be levied in fifteen days and go to Qingxi River to build the embankment. Seeing that the rainy season was coming, the county magistrate wanted to strengthen the embankment.

, and this time someone must be paid, and money cannot be used instead of labor.

Li Mingyi frowned: "Brother, come home and tell me about it. The village should have received the news. I will go to the corvee service this time and ask my sister-in-law to come to the store to take care of her for a while."

Lee Mingzhi responded and hurried home.

It was also the first time Zhao Yunlan came into contact with this kind of corvee service. She had only watched this kind of corvee service on TV before. She remembered that this kind of corvee service would make people lose their skin. After thinking about the situation where the Li family was in charge last year, Li Mingli went to serve.

The people who came back from labor service lost a lot of weight and took a full month to raise them. So the village learned in advance that the families who worked in labor service would raise their bodies early.

Zhao Yunlan was packing up the things to go to the town when Old Man Li suddenly said, "I'll go this year. You are taking care of your eldest daughter-in-law at home, but the second child is still running a shop in the town."

Zhao Yunlan was stunned: "Dad, you~"

Zhao Yunlan didn't know what to say. Old Man Li said he was old and was less than forty years old. After all, Zhao Yunlan had contacted this corvee labor for the first time, so she had to turn to look at Wang.

Old Man Li continued: "I went to the second place last year, and I was the second one. It's my turn this year."

Li Mingli said from the side: "Dad, why not ask the village chief to help me grow older. Let me go this year, and I'm about to be sixteen. It doesn't matter if I get earlier."

Wang: "You are making trouble, you are harming your village chief's uncle's house."

Old Man Li: "I'm not old yet, I can do anything. I'll go."

Zhao Yunlan tentatively said: "It's better to let your husband come back..."

Zhao Yunlan thought that Li Mingren, as the eldest son, did not respect his elders at home, nor did she work hard to achieve any good situation outside. Instead, the young and old at home were worried about him day by day and tolerated him in all kinds of ways.

Wang: "Dalang has been spoiled in his studies for many years. Stop talking about it, your father! Our county magistrate is good. Although the corvee labor service over the years is tiring, he will not be harsh in the service workers.



Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to remain silent.

On the second day, Li Mingyi only saw Li Mingzhi coming to the town. Li Mingzhi told him about the situation at home. In the afternoon, Li Mingyi packed up his things and went home, thinking about persuading Old Man Li again.

But Old Man Li was determined to go to the labor service. Li Mingyi had no choice but to go back to the town to take care of the shop.

Since the Li family has decided that Old Man Li will go to the labor service, Zhao Yunlan will have good food and good food to nourish the old man Li every day, which really makes Old Man Li grow some flesh and her face has become much rosy.

Zhao Yunlan prepared a lot of dried meat and white flour steamed buns for Old Man Li. After all, it became hot this day and some food couldn't be kept. He was still responsible for the food when he went to labor work, but those foods could only barely satisfy his hunger.

Zhao Yunlan gave Old Man Li a tael of silver to let Old Man Li adapt to the situation and spend money if he could. After all, this time, there were fifteen days of labor service, so I don’t know what would happen. Old Man Li got so much money for the first time.

I was actually a little excited.

The villagers sent off the labor service team and went back to their homes to work.

Since Old Man Li left, Zhao Yunlan has wanted to solve Li Mingren's case. She really can't stand such a cowardly man, so she hid because she failed the exam. And this is not once or twice, she comes here every year.

This year, he became a turtle unscrupulously. The whole family is busy with life, but he is the only one who is lazy and enjoys the so-called privileges of scholars.

Wang and Old Man Li spoiled him and would not discipline their children, so let's do it yourself as a wife. It's not that he has never been a teacher, Zhao Yunlan thought about whether she could become a husband and wife in the future, but now she is at home.

Everyone is changing and growing, but only Li Mingren is still hiding under his wings and secretly feeling sad, dragging down the Li family.

After the family became rich, Wang asked Li Mingli to give Li Mingren two money, and every time Li Mingren accepted the money, he would send Li Mingli away.

Today, Wang asked Li Mingli to see Li Mingren and give him some money.

Zhao Yunlan couldn't bear it this time, so she went to Wang: "Mom, I'll go tomorrow, I'll pick my husband back, and we both take you to the county town to see the doctor." Zhao Yunlan told him, not to ask Wang

.

Wang: "Don't call Dalang, just take your little sister with you."

"Mom," Zhao Yunlan emphasized his tone. "My husband, as the eldest son, does not have the responsibility of the eldest son now? How long does it take for him to hide in the school? Dad is still in the scorching sun and is worried about Dad every day.

, the appetite is also bad. The second and fourth brothers are busy in the town every day and have to take time to come back to see the situation at home. After taking care of Mingli, they have to go to the fields. They don’t have to spare any time every day.

My sister finally raised it a little better before, but she has gone to fight pig grass every day. She has been feeding chickens and pigs and has lost weight. Even Xiaobao knows that her grandmother is in poor health and needs to leave the delicious food for her grandmother to eat first."

Wang was silent, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. The first time he saw Zhao Yunlan so angry, Wang was also a little scared.

Zhao Yunlan was roaring in her heart at this moment: Oh, this time it was a bit too extreme, so you should pay attention to emotional control.
