"Oh! This mill is not cheap. I haven't heard of anyone buying a mill in all places. However, there is a mill in Panlong Town. People who need to grind grain will book early and need six copper plates to grind at a time. Most villagers in the mountains use dustpans to sift their own drying. Few people will go to the town to grind. If you want to buy it, you have to ask Cheng Hu to go to the town to ask."

Hao was in a very good mood because Gu Shuixiu promised to ask them to come and help thresh, and he couldn't stop talking as soon as he started. Seeing that several children were not around them, he asked in a low voice: "Auntie just wanted to ask you, when did you have two more children in your family?"

Gu Shuixiu was already ready to wait for outsiders to ask. When Hao asked, she was not panicked and said casually: "The two children were saved when we went to the town. The family suffered a disaster and fled to us with their parents. The children's parents finally did not support us. We happened to meet them. I thought of accumulating virtue for the children in my stomach and being able to raise them at home, so I brought the children back."

Hao looked sympathetic when he heard this, "What's going on in the past few years? It's either natural disasters or man-made disasters everywhere. Last time we went to the town to sell prey, and I also heard that some refugees who escaped were robbed because they had no food. Fortunately, this happened in the county town. Our town is relatively remote, so I guess the refugees don't look down on it. Why do you think this good people suffer like this!"

"Aunt, let's just say this here. Don't say it in front of two children. The child is smart and can understand!"

Gu Shuixiu deliberately reminded Hao with a serious look on his face, what other doubts would Hao have?

He murmured in a low voice: "That big man looks only four or five years old, and that young man is less than one year old! He is so young that he has no father or mother. Fortunately, he meets you, how can he live?"

Gu Shuixiu frowned and nodded, agreeing with Hao's words. The two chatted and talked about the uneasy things outside, and finally mentioned whose parents-in-law abused their daughter-in-law, who was stealing people, etc.

For the first time, Gu Shuixiu felt that Hao was such a gossiping person. She was so well-informed that she almost thought that Hao lived in a densely populated village.

After three sunny days, the rice was almost drying, and cracks had appeared in the rice husks. At this time, Dong Chenghu brought out the threshing machine that had been prepared in advance.

Everyone didn't understand why, until Gu Shuixiu put the rice in, Dong Chenghu turned the machine, and rice came out from the hole below, they understood the function of this thing.

The more this happens, the more incredible everyone feels. With this tool, they can save directly artificial threshing, which saves a lot of effort.

Qin Shan was so jealous that he couldn't wait to replace Dong Chenghu, but Dong Chenghu replaced Gu Shuixiu and let him release rice.

A machine ran for one day and took out more than a dozen sacks of rice. The next day, it continued to run for three consecutive days, and finally took out more than fifty sacks of rice.

This sack of rice is about 200 kilograms, and more than fifty bags are more than 10,000 kilograms, which is equivalent to more than 800 dou.

Uncle Qin thought to himself and was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Hey, the rice you planted in your paddy fields is almost five or six times that of other families, and the millet you produce is full and crystal clear, and the millet sold outside is not as good as those grown by yours.

Uncle, do you ask you for some rice to be used as a result of planting?”

"You are stupid, are you? They are not using seeds to grow rice into tigers, but seedlings cultivated by water. "Hao looked at Uncle Qin helplessly. Although she also wanted to grow such high-yield grain, the problem now is that it is not enough to have seeds!

Seeing that Uncle Qin changed his face, Gu Shuixiu smiled and said, "It's just about raising seedlings. You have to tell me how much you want to plant. I'll help you raise seedlings."

Their family has harvested more than 10,000 kilograms of rice this year, which is enough for their family to eat every day for four or five years. So Gu Shuixiu doesn’t plan to plant so much rice next year, but she doesn’t have much seedlings for the Qin family and Zuo Qingsong’s fields.

"Thank you so much. Just say how much money you want, uncle can't take advantage of you every time."

"Uncle didn't take advantage of us. This is really not a big deal. As long as I come and help us next time, I will do it." Dong Chenghu said happily.

Gu Shuixiu also smiled and nodded, agreeing with Dong Chenghu's meaning.

Uncle Qin quickly patted his chest and promised, "If you have something to do next time, I'll be the first to arrive."

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard it.

A few days later, Uncle Qin spontaneously brought the Qin family to help Dong Chenghu. After harvesting the wheat, it was drying. Gu Shuixiu directed Dong Chenghu to make a simple tool to crush the wheat. Two people needed to rotate the bamboo reasonably, crush the wheat ears, and then sift to shake it.

This is enough for the Qin family and Dong Chenghu to cooperate with each other. After two or three days, the group finally crushed all the wheat. The total was about 3,000 kilograms. Because Gu Shuixiu did not grow too much wheat, harvesting 3,000 kilograms was considered a bumper harvest.

After finishing the wheat work and threshing of corn.

Zuo Qingsong, who had disappeared for seven or eight days, finally appeared and carried a big roe deer to the Dong family.

"I went out to hunt a few days ago. This time I was lucky and got a stag. I thought I could sell it to the county for a good price, so I rushed over overnight. When I came back, I found this roe deer that had just died in the trap, which happened to give everyone a meal."

Zuo Qingsong carried the roe deer directly to the kitchen, and Dong Yunmei was cooking food inside.

Seeing Zuo Qingsong coming in, he was a little at a loss and didn't know where to look.

"Is there water?" Zuo Qingsong spoke violently.

Dong Yunmei whispered, "Yes, wait." She turned around and poured a large bowl of warm water on the edge of the stove. For some reason, Dong Yunmei always felt that the road to Zuo Qingsong was a bit far away, only a few steps away, but she was walking very wrong.

Zuo Qingsong took the warm water handed over by Dong Yunmei, whispered thank you, and then inserted a silver hairpin on Dong Yunmei's head, "I saw it in the county town and I think it's quite suitable for you."

Before Dong Yunmei could speak, Zuo Qingsong went out of the kitchen to help.

Zuo Qingsong's voice sounded in the yard, mainly because Dong Chenghu was asking about Shimu, and Zuo Qingsong answered.

Dong Yunmei wanted to return the silver hairpin, but there were so many people in the yard, and she didn't want others to know about this. If she looked for another opportunity next time, she probably didn't know when she would have to wait. Thinking about this, Dong Yunmei was in a mess.

It is undeniable that when she received the silver hairpin, her heart beat several times faster.
