The next day, Shen Tianli and Liu Ye bought a lot of glutinous rice and returned to the village. People in the village had already started harvesting wheat.
The weather this year is quite good. There is plenty of rain in the front, but there is a little lack of rain in the back. However, the wheat is still good, making everyone talk about the dealer with smiles on their faces.
Seeing Liu Ye and Shen Tianli coming back, they all straightened up to greet them.
Li Zian was also cutting wheat in the field. When he saw Shen Tianli and Liu Ye coming back, he walked out of the field and asked with a smile: "Tianli, Ye'er, why are you back? Are you coming back to cut wheat too?"
The land that Shen Laosi sold to Shen Tianli's family can only be planted after wheat has been harvested, but Shen Yongkang's land contains wheat.
"Uncle, tomorrow is not the Dragon Boat Festival. I will send you some glutinous rice back. I will go to the mountain to pick some oak leaves later so that everyone can have a good Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow." Shen Tianli said.
"No wonder everyone has been looking forward to your return these past two days. If I knew there were such good things, I would be happier." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.
"Okay, you can rest assured that your land will be cut soon after everyone takes the time." Li Zian said with a smile.
"No, Uncle, we will come back the day after tomorrow and we can cut it ourselves." Liu Ye said with a smile.
Memory: It rains most often during the busy farming season. Everyone takes advantage of the good weather to cut the wheat and then dry it. They use oxen to pull the stone roller to grind the wheat continuously and get the wheat kernels out of the wheat husks.
Therefore, Liu Ye and Shen Tianli will naturally not trouble everyone.
"No, no, Tianli still needs to study, and you still need to see a doctor. Just leave it to us!" Mrs. Zhang on the side also said.
"Auntie, Tianli and the others are on vacation. How can they still exercise after studying all day and occasionally working? Let's go back first!" Liu Ye said with a smile.
Li Zian nodded and continued to cut wheat in the field. He planned to finish cutting his own area and then go to cut Tianli's wheat to save the couple from coming back.
Shen Tianli and Liu Ye went up the mountain and not only picked a lot of oak leaves and mugwort, but also shot a wild boar.
Knowing that the people in the village were busy, he killed a pig at home and asked everyone to come over and buy it at noon. The price was still five coppers per pound of meat, and he also gave everyone a bowl of glutinous rice and some oak leaves.
After everyone in the village had finished buying the meat, they returned to town with the remaining meat.
The family sits together making rice dumplings.
Zongzi wrapped in oak leaves are very delicious, but they need to be cooked overnight to make them more delicious.
The couple left the room early the next day and smelled the faint smell of wormwood in the yard. They saw wormwood and garlic stuck on each door. Qiu Ju and others also got up early today, and everyone made an appointment. Let's go to the river to wash our faces together.
According to legend, Chang'e of the Moon Palace sprinkled the medicine from the pestle into the well and river at night. Using the water to wash one's face and cook rice could cure all diseases and ward off evil spirits and toxins.
Although Liu Ye didn't believe it, she also accompanied everyone to experience it. At this moment, before the stars had finished retreating, people of all ages were already coming to the riverside one after another, washing themselves seriously, with faces full of piety and joy.
The Liuye family washed their faces by the river and went back to practice sword practice, read books, and cook.
The Dragon Boat Festival is also very rich. In the morning there are rice dumplings, eggs and garlic.
Although we know that garlic is poisonous, eating boiled garlic every Dragon Boat Festival feels like drinking traditional Chinese medicine.
But the whole family was enthusiastic and put garlic into Liu Ye's bowl one by one.
When Shen Tianli saw his wife's smile froze, she looked like she was about to cry without tears, he raised his chopsticks and put some garlic in her bowl into his own, and said, "Ye'er will want more later." Go to the hospital and don’t eat so much. It’s delicious!”
When he said this, everyone stopped trying!
Liu Ye glanced at Shen Tianli gratefully, had breakfast, went to see Kong Maoying and her son, and then went to the medical clinic.
Today is a holiday, and there are not many patients in the hospital. Most of them come to buy some realgar or mugwort.
Liu Ye was not idle, however, and taught Li Yaoxiang how to feel the pulse, and asked her to feel the pulse of everyone in the store, and then explained to her the differences in pulse at each stage.
The day passed by, and Liu Ye asked Li Yaoxiang to temporarily follow Doctor Du, while she asked for leave and took Shen Tianli, Shen Tianyan, Liu Ming, Bai Xuxi and Sun Liang back to Cuishan Village to cut wheat.
When they arrived at Cuishan Village, they found that the villagers had almost harvested Shen Tianli's wheat. Liu Ye thanked everyone gratefully, and then led a group of handsome guys to start harvesting the wheat.
Although Bai Xuxi had never cut wheat before, she was still good at cutting and picking herbs. After learning it simply, she said: "Tianli, junior sister, how about we compete?"
"Okay, okay, let's compete. I'm the best at harvesting wheat." Shen Tianyan said with a smile.
"Okay, don't use internal force. Use techniques alone and see who is the fastest!" Liu Ye said with a smile.
Only Sun Liang was in the worst situation. Firstly, he had no internal strength, and secondly, he had never harvested wheat. Everyone had finished harvesting, but he was still struggling behind.
Fortunately, my uncle had a conscience and helped him cut the wheat.
Shen Tianli's family has a big yard, and everyone piled wheat in the yard. Shen Tianli bit the wheat and was able to grind it with a stone roller. But there was only one stone roller in Cuishan Village. Everyone had to take turns to use it, so they might as well do it themselves. Shoot with a wooden shovel.
Liuye thought for a while and said: "Why don't we grind it ourselves! Let's compare our footwork to see who has the fastest footwork and can grind the wheat the fastest. Let's make an agreement first. If you crush the wheat, you lose. The loser, When he goes back to town at night, he will be punished by carrying Sun Liang back on his back."
"Sister-in-law, it's not fair, I must be the slowest in footwork." Shen Tianyan said, gagging.
Then wouldn't he be carrying Brother Sun Liang's back?
"Xiaoyan, it doesn't matter how fast you grind the wheat. It depends on how hard you use your internal strength. If it's heavy, the wheat will break easily. Relatively speaking, Xiaoyan and Mingming's internal strength is shallow, so they are the least likely to be crushed!"
Shen Tianyan became happy when his sister-in-law said it.
Moreover, my sister-in-law piled the least amount of wheat for him, so my sister-in-law really liked him the most.
Bai Xuxi didn't think that having high internal strength had disadvantages, but he didn't believe it. As a result, after his wheat straw was taken away, the most grains of wheat were broken.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Bai, it seems that you are going to carry Brother Liang back! Look at you, you are the one who breaks the wheat the most!"
Bai Xu Xi's face was full of helplessness. He met everyone's eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, next time, I promise not to break a grain of wheat."
It's a pity that it sounds easy. Bai Xuxi found that it is not easy to do. If the internal force is too big, the wheat will be crushed, and if it is small, the wheat will not come out of the shell. As expected, he is not as good as Xiaoyan and Liu Ming.
It should be said that except for Sun Liang who threshed wheat with a wooden shovel, no one else did as well as the two of them.
Even Shen Tianli crushed a lot of wheat, but he quickly found the skills and strength, and he was the worst.
However, in half a day, they finally finished grinding the wheat in four acres of land.
While it was still dark, they packed the wheat and prepared to take it to the town to dry, so they didn't have to visit Cuishan Village every day.
On the way back, Bai Xuxi wanted to carry Sun Liang on his back, so he was so frightened that he ran away in a hurry.
Bai Xu Xi simply started running with Shen Tianyan on his back. Slowly, Bai Xu Xi used his internal strength, so from a distance, he could hear Shen Tianyan's excited screams.
