Chapter 168 Why are you crying again?
While everyone was working, Liu Paner quickly ate a flatbread, two bowls of rice porridge, and an egg. It was simple but delicious in the morning and evening.
Liu Pan'er especially likes to eat the big cakes made by Liu's family. They are very thick, soft and chewy. "Sister-in-law, I'll eat them and bring them food. You clean up the house and when you're done, go to the fields and let the children go."
We cook at home, deliver water, and don’t go to work in the fields.”
Li Fang and Li Li insisted, "Third Aunt, we can work and cut the rice ears with a knife."
Liu Pan'er had given the children a taste of hard work yesterday. Today, she hired so many people and she didn't want the children to continue working in the fields.
"Afang, Ali, I know you are very capable. I will arrange for you to cook at home. In addition, there are more important tasks. Later I will have someone carry the harvested rice ears down. I am in a hurry.
The grain is brought home by bullock cart. The grain is placed on the threshing floor in front of our door and needs to be watched. In addition, it needs to be turned over and dried every hour."
Hearing Third Aunt's words, Li Fang nodded and smiled, "Third Aunt, we must take good care of our home, cook well, and turn the rice in time."
Liu Paner smiled and praised, "They are all good children."
Although the little girls are tanned, they are more confident and their eyes are bright.
Liu Pan'er used a pole to carry a basket of flatbreads on one end and an earthen pot of rice porridge on the other to reach her rice field.
Li Dabao drove the bullock cart and called to his mother, "Mom, come up and take the cart."
Liu Pan'er waved her hand and refused, "No, on the bullock cart, if you don't pay attention, the earthen pot will be scattered."
Seeing this, Li Dabao had no choice but to give up, "Mom, let me hurry up and let them move the rice ears down. After you send the rice over, we will pull these rice ears back."
Liu Paner readily agreed, "Go!"
Let's say that after Liu Pan'er left, two people, except Boss Zheng, straightened up and rested for a while.
Boss Zheng frowned when he saw it, "Second child, third child, don't be lazy. The boss pays you high wages, so we can't take other people's money in vain."
Zheng Laoer quickly continued working, not daring to contradict his elder brother.
Zheng Laosan had an idea and pointed to the rice ears, "Brother, I'm not lazy. Look at these rice ears. They are bigger and fuller than our rice ears."
Of course Boss Zheng saw it, and he had already thought about it in his mind. After finishing his work, he would buy some rice seeds from his employer.
"Yes, the rice here is better than ours. The double-cropping rice we planted, even if it's the first crop, doesn't grow as well as the rice here. Let's be diligent. After we finish the work, we can talk to our boss.
Buy rice seeds.”
Zheng Laosan nodded, he also had this idea, "What the elder brother said is that we will pay attention to it later and see the yield of this rice."
Eight people work harder and more diligently.
Li Dabao parked the oxcart under the terraces and came to his own land. "Uncles and uncles, my mother is on the way and will come over with breakfast soon. I also ask all uncles and uncles to carry the rice ears in the basket to the terraces. I will
To be transported home.”
Boss Zheng saw that he was a ten-year-old boy, but he was different from ordinary children. He was very steady and articulate, "Okay, little boss."
Boss Zheng put down the knife in his hand and led the others to carry down the rice ears from the top of the terraces.
Just as the bullock cart was loaded, Liu Paner arrived carrying breakfast.
Liu Pan'er handed the pick to Boss Zheng, "Brother Zheng, this is breakfast. You go back to the fields to eat first, and I will take the rice to the threshing floor first."
Boss Zheng stood closest to Liu Pan'er and could already smell the tempting fragrance inside. He had never smelled this kind of fragrance before, but he was sure that there were meat dishes inside.
The owner was so kind that he gave them meat to eat early in the morning.
Boss Zheng took the pick and replied with a hearty smile: "Thank you very much, boss."
"You're welcome, thank you for your hard work." Liu Pan'er was very polite, as she always does to her employees.
Only in this way can employees develop their full potential.
Li Dabao went to the fields with the hired workers, while Liu Paner drove the bullock cart home.
When they got home, Mrs. Liu had just tidied up the house, Li Fang and Li Li had washed their clothes and were drying them, and Li Rong had just cleaned the threshing floor.
Mrs. Liu came over, and she and Liu Paner poured a dozen baskets containing rice ears from the oxcart onto the threshing floor, and spread them flat on the ground. When the sun became hot and took away the moisture in the rice, it would be able to last for a long time.
save.
Seeing so much food, Mr. Liu's eyes felt hot, his nose was slightly sour, and he even wiped away tears.
Seeing this, Liu Pan'er patted her sister-in-law on the shoulder, "Why are you crying again? Heaven is in the way of things, spring brings forth fruits and autumn brings fruit. We planted rice and worked hard to get the harvest we have now. This is what we deserve.
This is the same principle when doing anything. It is absolutely impossible to get something for nothing."
Mrs. Liu smiled shyly, "I am happy. We have harvested so many good things from our fields and sold them for so much money. Seeing these life-saving rice grains makes me feel at ease."
Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Living in a big house will make you more secure. Sister-in-law, let's not delay and get down to the ground quickly. By the way, sister-in-law, you have to get a broom and clean up the two bamboo sheds next to Li Erluzi's house."
Clean it, spread thick dry straw on the ground, and spread out mats for the eight hired workers today. We are all women and we cannot let them live near our cave."
When Ms. Liu heard this, she was convinced, "Yes, I'll take the broom and clean it up."
Liu Pan'er drove the bullock cart to continue to the fields to pull back rice ears. Liu cleaned the bamboo shed, sprinkled realgar powder, and also took a broken porcelain basin from home, and put some mugwort and herbs in it.
Come and fume the mosquitoes.
For the convenience of eating, Mrs. Liu also moved a small bamboo table from home. I heard that these people brought their own wash basins and bowls and chopsticks, so Mrs. Liu took an old clay pot for boiling water from home and put it on the temporary
There is a small stove for the hired workers to boil water.
Boss Zheng returned to the fields, smelling the fragrance wafting from the basket in front of him, and kept swallowing his saliva.
When they got to the field, they couldn't wait to put it down. Boss Zheng opened the cage cloth and saw that it was a cake with a piece of intestines in it. He was curious.
When did the water smell so good?
Zheng Laosan brought a basin of water from the stream. Everyone washed their hands and came to get cakes to eat.
Everyone sat at the end of the rice without ears, hungry, picked up the big cake, and took a big bite.
The flatbread is soft and chewy. There are intestines and refreshing cucumber shreds in one bite of the flatbread. The texture is rich and the taste is overbearing.
Fragrant and delicious.
Anyway, they have never eaten anything so delicious, it tastes better than the roasted meat at home.
Li Dabao saw that everyone was devouring their food and reminded them, "There is thin rice porridge in the earthen pot. Don't choke."
"Thank you, little boss." Boss Zheng finished a piece of cake. He was a little choked because he ate so quickly. He quickly filled up a bowl of thin rice porridge. It was warm and just right to drink.
