The sight of rows of glowing yellow emerges spontaneously.
Every household, except for the children, found time to harvest wheat in their own fields.
If possible, invite a harvester, and in just a short while, the grain and wheat straw can be completely separated, packed into nylon bags, tied and piled aside. All you need to do is find a car and take it home, wait for it to be spread out, and then turn it over.
Sell some of it.
If you don’t have any conditions, you can only use the most primitive method, holding a sickle in your hand, sticking your buttocks, and harvesting acres of land along a mound. The whole process is time-consuming and laborious, and there are many steps to take it back to your home before you can sell it.
out.
With their backs to the sky and their faces to the land, they seemed to have long regarded this place as a part of their lives. While working hard, they also had fun in the midst of hardship, taking advantage of their free time to shout and make jokes.
It was just after noon and the sun was rising.
Wu Huiliang drove Xu Li over on a tractor.
Only half of the wheat in half an acre of land has been harvested, and the other half is still safely planted on the ground. Normally, the money on hand is enough to hire a harvester. But they still have to repair the house, demolish it and buy tiles, etc.
When it comes to spending money, your budget is limited and you cannot spend it carelessly.
Besides, with this little yield per mu, the labor force of two of them is enough.
The sickles and shovels had been prepared long ago. After taking them from the back seat of the tractor, Wu Huiliang and his wife went to the fields together and began to harvest wheat under the hot sun.
Xu Li has been working for a long time since she got married. She has already developed the habit of enduring hardships and standing hard work. She doesn't feel tired as soon as she touches the ground. She becomes a farmer when she picks up the sickle.
But Wu Huiliang was different. For him, no matter in his previous life or now, he had never worked in the fields. After only a few harvests, he felt that this kind of work was not done by humans.
I can't help but sympathize with my wife's difficulties...
"O~Brother~"
Wu Huiping carried a sickle on his back and shouted from a distance.
Along with him came two elders.
Wu Huiliang raised his head and took a look, wiped the sweat from his face, and shouted in the direction where they were: "Huiping, why are you here?"
Wu Huiping walked over quickly, until he got close to them, and then stopped, "We have finished harvesting the three acres of land at home, and my parents and I are thinking of coming over to help you."
After finishing, he smiled and bowed his head to Xu Li, "Sister-in-law."
"Huiping is here." Xu Li raised her head and smiled slightly.
After the separation, she did complain about this brother-in-law. Because their family had always been able to get something for nothing, but later thinking about it, it was indeed not easy for him. After all, there was an unreasonable aunt in the family.
"What happened in the past..." Wu Huiping felt guilty, thinking that since the two brothers had reconciled, it would be uncomfortable to hold back some words.
Xu Li knew what he was going to say and smiled: "Let bygones be bygones, as long as your two brothers reconcile."
"Yeah." After Wu Huiping responded, he couldn't help but sigh, if only Li Wencui had half the temper she has!
"Huiliang, did you cut these wheat?" Old Man Wu also walked up to talk to him, and then laughed, "You can do it! When I was a kid, digging the ground was like embroidery! It's rare to be so good at work!"
"Dad, what you said is not making people laugh." When he said this, Wu Huiliang glanced at Xu Li.
"What? I am your father and I can't say anything about you? Or are you afraid that your mother-in-law will make fun of you?" Old Man Wu laughed loudly.
"Hahaha..." Following him, everyone laughed.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, half an acre of land was officially harvested.
Wu Huiliang's family sat at the end of the field, putting wet towels on their heads, looking at the piles of wheat straw in the field. They breathed a sigh of relief and were extremely pleased. They had just finished their work, and everyone from top to bottom
It was all wet, but fortunately, there was a pot of sugar water brought by Old Man Wu to quench my thirst, so it wouldn't be so dry and uncomfortable.
But far away water cannot quench the near thirst, and soon the sugar water will be gone.
Thinking of gathering the wheat straw into piles and loading them into the car, Wu Huiliang said:
"Dad, Huiping, you guys stay in the field and watch while I drive the tractor to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"I still have work to do in the afternoon, so I need to prepare some water."
After saying that, he left before they could react.
"Drive slowly on the road." The whole family stood up and said.
Wu Huiliang: "I know!"
After the tractor started, it sped away with a chug sound.
When passing a few acres of fields not far away, there happened to be a few quarrels.
Wu Huiliang took one look at it and thought it was not his own business, so he ignored it and passed it by.
However, what he didn't know was that it was this insignificant indifference that led to a new dispute.
There are three production teams in Xieying Village. According to the division in the early years, most of the fields between the members of each team are the same.
Wu Huiping is the captain of the second team, and Shuanzi and Tiezhu are members of the second team. Therefore, the fields of each family are close to each other, even if they are far away, they are not far away.
Whatever happens between each other will most likely be heard by the other party.
At this moment, not far away, Iron Pillar and Shuanzi were still arguing about the tree.
"Shuanzi, you are so unreasonable. My tree is in your way. Why did you chop it down without saying a word?"
Following Tiezhu's scolding, Shuanzi was also unconvinced and pointed at him and cursed: "Why don't you have a lot of eyesight? Didn't you see that my food is growing?"
"How many branches will affect your family's food growth?" Tie Zhu said in a loud voice, "Fuck you!"
"You're scolding me?" Shuanzi said with a red face, "You're so damn stupid! Let's go to the captain to judge!"
"Just leave, no one is afraid of you!" Tie Zhu knew he was right and scolded.
As he spoke, he dropped the sickle in his hand and walked towards Wu Huiping with him.
Trouble is coming.
But Wu Huiping was still tepidly playing on the half acre of land.
After seeing Wu Huiliang leave, he started talking to his family members.
"Mom, have you noticed that my brother seems to be a different person these days?"
In fact, this problem has troubled him for a long time, and now that Wu Huiliang is away, he can finally take the opportunity to talk about it.
"..." Aunt Chen hesitated.
But it was Old Man Wu who answered before her: "Well, if you say that, I think there's something wrong with it."
"It used to be harder for this kid to dig around than to reach the sky, but now, he is working so hard."
"I was just wondering, have you been stimulated by something recently?"
When he said this, he deliberately moved the cigarette rod from his mouth, looked at Xu Li, and thought, could it be his daughter-in-law's trick?
"Dad, what do you think I'm doing?" Xu Li looked confused and a little embarrassed.
However, he was accustomed to Wu Huiliang's changes, unlike them, who found it rare.
Old Man Wu coughed in embarrassment and turned his face away. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
"Damn old man, I have to do it even if I can't do it." Mrs. Chen patted his back and said.
Wu Huiping looked on and smiled, and then expressed the questions in his heart on their behalf: "Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
"I don't think so." Xu Li thought for a while and said, "He may be thinking about the family and has been exploring ways to make money alone, but we just don't understand him."
As expected of a person beside my pillow, in a few short words, the answer and affirmation were instantly given.
Only then did Wu Huiping and the others dispel the doubts in their minds, forgive Wu Huiliang for his past confusion, and all praised:
"Well, that kid must have suffered a lot from being alone outside these years."
"If we could understand him earlier, maybe we wouldn't do those hurtful things."
"However, now that life is getting better, let's just let it all be in the past."
"..."
The whole family suddenly seemed like before, gathering together to talk and laugh, adding a bit of fun to the boring life.
