Chapter 127(1/2)
The villagers heard the sound of Niu Xigui using the thresher and gathered around to watch the excitement.
Leng Yingchun saw that the people had almost arrived. He took a large handful of rice, stepped on the pedal, started the threshing machine, and placed the rice on the round barbed roller.
Under the action of the machine, the rice clattered against the wooden cover and fell into the groove at the back.
Leng Yingchun threw the rice straw aside and smiled at the people watching on the street, "How is it? Is it efficient?"
"It's really amazing!" The villagers came over to see it and held handfuls of rice in their hands. The rice was cleaner than beating it with a hammer. They were suddenly surprised and eager to try. Several people went to the fields to help cut the rice and put it on the threshing machine for threshing.
After playing like this, they felt that it was not enough, so they asked the people watching nearby to help, and they rushed to give it a try.
The labor force came immediately, and Leng Yingchun ran to Niu Xigui to give him an idea.
"Brother Niu, let's cut the rice and let Xiaoxiao stand in line with a few weak villagers, beat the drum and pass the flowers and hand the rice to them for threshing. It will be faster this way."
Niu Xigui thought it was feasible, so he speeded up.
When Niu Chunyao came with her two sons to support her, she saw a lot of millet behind the thresher.
"Wow, this..." Niu Chunyao was extremely surprised and shouted forward, "Yingchun, the machine you made is really good."
"Of course, Sister Niu, why are you still standing there? Hurry and find a basket, pack the grains, take them home, and spread them out to dry in the sun while the sun is strong."
Leng Yingchun stopped and explained. Only then did Niu Chunyao react and hurriedly went to pick up the basket and find help.
With everyone's concerted efforts, Niu Xigui's rice harvest was completed in the evening.
The villagers were kind enough to help pick them back.
In order to express his gratitude, Niu Xigui asked everyone to stay for dinner, but they all refused.
Accordingly, the threshing machine became popular. As soon as it was placed in Leng Yingchun's house, many villagers came to borrow it.
"Don't worry, we will borrow them. Come one by one and line up!"
Qin Xiaoxiao asked Wan Jiaxing to register their names, and they would decide whose turn it was.
The villagers also queued up and registered very wisely. Wan Jiaxing told the first person to carry the thresher back and hand it to others after using it. After they obeyed, they went home happily.
At night, after taking a bath, Leng Yingchun lay next to Qin Xiaoxiao without saying a word. She was worried whether Feng Beier had treated Su Jingxian properly.
"Yingchun, you seem to have something on your mind!" Qin Xiaoxiao approached Leng Yingchun, "Tell me, maybe I can help you answer it!"
"It's okay!" Leng Yingchun turned over and turned her back to Qin Xiaoxiao.
The villagers wanted to harvest rice, and she wanted to help. When would she have time to see Su Jingxian?
"You still say you're fine?" Qin Xiaoxiao moved Leng Yingchun's shoulders, "You used to tell me what's on your mind, but now you avoid me. I think you're weird, something must be wrong."
"It's really okay..."
"Are they good sisters?"
"Yes!" Leng Yingchun sat up and grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, "But you are still young and don't understand my troubles."
Qin Xiaoxiao yawned and lay down.
Everyone treats her as a child, so she is.
Leng Yingchun couldn't explain it, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Su Jingxian tilted his head, "Tie Dun, when is it?"
Tie Dun opened his eyes, looked at the dark surroundings, and said softly, "It's time!"
It's so late, the Spring Festival shouldn't come, right?
Su Jingxian sighed, why did he feel so uncomfortable?
…
Three days later, Anman brought four threshing machines to Qiu Rong's house. Qiu Rong had already made the covers and installed them for use.
They moved all the threshing machines to Leng Yingchun's house, and Qiu Rong left without staying.
Anman came to Leng Shengsheng and said, "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Zhu Qingqing ran over and said, "Your brother doesn't want revenge, so don't jump in. It won't do you any good."
Anman fell silent, his initial roaring and irritability long gone.
He has been busy doing things these days, but he has calmed down.
He has no connections and no ability, so there is no way he can avenge his parents. @
Rather than die for revenge, it would be better to survive, marry a wife, and carry on the An family lineage.
"It's not that we won't retaliate. The time has not come yet. Don't think about revenge. Live peacefully. There will be a time when the bad guys are brought to justice." Leng Yingchun liked to see them compromise, "You brothers have a good chat.
Bar!"
Leng Shengsheng took Anman aside.
The brothers have never gotten along with each other, so they don't know each other's past and don't know where to start. They are silent about each other.
Someone knocked on the door. Qin Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw Zhu Lei and Zhu Yu, so she pushed them outside and prepared to close the door.
Zhu Yu pushed the door open eagerly, "Can you lend us one of your threshing machines? We are going to harvest rice today."
Zhu Lei also smiled flatteringly, "Xiaoxiao, we are all fellow villagers, please help us!"
Qin Xiaoxiao glared at them fiercely, "Brothers and sisters, don't forget that we were sworn enemies after what we did to us. Now that our family has convenience, we just want to join in the fun, no way!"
"Yingchun, Yingchun, please ask Xiaoxiao to let us in. Our family really has a lot of fields. We need to borrow machinery, otherwise it will take several days just to rely on our family."
Zhu Yu had long lost the pride she had before, and was begging dejectedly at this moment.
"You can lend it to others, why can't you lend it to us? We promise not to damage it." Zhu Lei smiled flatteringly.
Seeing the two brothers and sisters playing like clowns outside the door, Leng Yingchun couldn't laugh or cry.
It was the busy farming season and the rice harvest was imminent. It was not easy for everyone. She should forgive them generously and lend out the threshing machine.
"Welcoming the Spring Festival, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. No matter how good a neighbor is, he can still help at critical times. Let's borrow one, shall we?"
Zhu Qingqing's mother's heart was overflowing, and she also thought that when her fields were harvested, the Zhu Yu brothers and sisters could come to help.
"Can't borrow it!" Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Leng Yingchun, "Don't forget how he tricked us when we came here."
"Xiaoxiao, what's the harm in lending it to him? We can't just lend it to other villagers and not lend it to him, right? He talks bad about us everywhere, so how can we gain a foothold in Lishuping?" Zhu Qingqing reminded kindly.
.
The brother and sister kept promising there that the thresher would be sent back after the rice was cut and threshed.
They looked at the Leng family and didn't say anything. After looking at each other, Zhu Lei sat on the floor and acted like a child. If they didn't borrow it, she wouldn't get up.
"Get up, why are you staying at our house? If you have the ability, go to the blacksmith and build one yourself!" Qin Xiaoxiao pointed at Anman.
She dragged Zhu Lei up, but because she was too weak, she couldn't drag the heavy Zhu Lei. She had to look at Leng Yinghuan for help, "Huanhuan, come and help throw her out."
Leng Yinghuan never liked to embarrass women, so he sat there indifferently.
Wan Jiaxing asked Liu Yun to help, but Liu Yun also acted timid. He was not good at dealing with farm matters.
The silent Anman walked over and said, "I am the blacksmith. If you want to make a threshing machine, I can make it cheaper for you, just twenty taels of silver."
"Twenty taels of silver? We can't make that much money in a year, why don't you go and rob?" Zhu Yu was so humble that she almost knelt down in front of Leng Yingchun, "I admit that we were not friendly to your family before, but we
You have reformed your past, can't you be so merciful as to lend us a loan?"
Leng Yingchun looked at the two of them, and thought to himself that it would be good to let them use the machine flexibly, so he nodded slightly, "I don't think you have much rice, so I will give it to you for two days, and you will have to pay it back the day after tomorrow."
, we are going to use it too.”
Zhu Yu was so happy that he ran outside and waved, and his four cousins ran over. Before Leng Yingchun could react, they were ready to go out, carrying one each.
"Wait!" Leng Yingchun stopped them, "I only agree to lend you one, and we have to use the rest ourselves."
She was worried about them.
If she doesn't return it after taking it, it will delay her trip to harvest rice.
Leng Yinghuan and Liu Yun stood in front of them and said in unison, "Let go!"
Leng Yingchun snorted coldly, "We lent it to you out of love, but you've gone too far. If you don't let it go, I won't lend it to you."
Under the slight anger of the Leng family, they gently put down the thresher and reluctantly left with Zhu Yu.
"Yingchun, you have a good temper. Just wait, they will never return the thresher." Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to have spotted Zhu Yu's temper.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back. When the time comes, I will ask the master to take the government officials to their home to carry him. I don't believe they are not afraid." Leng Yingchun put his hands on his hips, "Everyone will be busy in the next two days. There are many people in these two days.
Just do whatever you want to do."
"We have so much rice in our house during the Spring Festival. It is troublesome to dry it. We need to prepare more baskets and other things. Our room is not big enough, so what should we do?" Zhu Qingqing has new worries.
Liu Yun suggested, "Brother Niu's house next door is quite big. You can borrow it."
"Don't put it in anyone's house. Don't you know what Sister Niu's temper is like? She will take some today and some tomorrow, and sooner or later our rice will be used up." Qin Xiaoxiao disagreed.
"After threshing, let the master take him back. There are many farmyards in their county, and it is very convenient to dry the rice. There are also government officials guarding it, so no one dares to steal it. "Correct update@"
"When it's dry, we will send our windmill over there, remove the empty shell, and then transport our half to Yuelai Building. The second floor is very spacious and is a ready-made warehouse."
