After the corn was dried, Ding Shilei happened to have no carpentry work, so he stayed at home to grind the corn kernels.

Ding Shilei's hands are big and rough, and he can rub the corn kernels very quickly without any effort.

But at the end of the day, no matter how rough your hands are, they can't stand it.

Gawain saw that his hands were red. Although Ding Shilei behaved as usual and did not say a word about pain, Gawain could still tell that he was in pain.

Ding Shilei alone cannot produce several acres of corn. After dinner, Gao Wen and Ding Xiaolan both kneaded the corn.

After Ding Shiping finished his homework and taught Shen Xiaojun, the two of them joined in.

After Gawain rubbed it for the first time, he immediately realized that it was not easy.

First use a screwdriver to poke out a row of corn kernels, then follow the gap and rub the corn kernels out with your hands.

After rubbing it for a few times, Gao Wen felt his hand hurt a little.

Then she rubbed two corn cobs against each other to remove the corn kernels, which made her hands less painful, but also more strenuous.

After working for more than an hour, Gawain felt that her hands were no longer her own and were very sore.

No, you must buy a hand-cranked corn kernel tool.

Gao Wen secretly made a decision, and the next day, she went to the county market to buy tools, a hand-operated threshing machine.

The whole hand thresher is made of iron, and the bottom fixed position is made of wood.

It costs more than ten yuan, which is not too expensive, but most people are reluctant to buy it.

After Gao Wen bought it, he sent it home first and asked Ding Shilei to use it to grind corn.

There is a round hole at the top that is slightly wider than the corn. Put the corn in from here.

Then there is a big round belly underneath, with spike-like things inside that can take off the corn kernels.

Next to it is a crank handle. When you shake the handle, the corn will automatically move down and complete the threshing process.

Ding Shilei didn't say "Why did you buy it?", Gao Wen had already bought it and it was impossible to return it. It would be useless for him to say that.

Using a hand thresher is indeed much faster than doing it manually, but after a long time, your arms will still get tired and sore.

Gawain couldn't help but try it a few times. It was fun at first, but after a while it became boring and tiring.

The news of the Ding family's purchase of a hand-cranked thresher soon spread in Xiao Shenzhuang.

Someone came to borrow it in the afternoon. Gao Wen was not at home, so Ding Shilei made the decision on his own and lent it out.

Ding Shilei wrote down everyone who came to borrow, and told the other person who was behind him.

After Gao Wen came back, Ding Shilei told her about this.

Gao Wen didn't blame Ding Shilei, he was just a little worried.

Soon what Gawain was worried about happened.

The origin of the matter is this. When the hand-cranked thresher was at Shen San's house, someone he was close to came to borrow it.

He borrowed it on his own initiative.

But when it was the turn of Wang Er's family to crank the threshing machine by hand, they came to Shen San's house to get it, only to find out that Shen San had given the machine to someone else.

Now, Wang Er quit and said it was his turn. Why should Shen San lend it to others?

The two got into a quarrel and eventually even got into a fight, which even reached the village chief.

After the village chief learned that the culprit was the Ding family, he called Gao Wen and Ding Shilei to the village committee.

When Gawain arrived, he saw that the two men were covered in paint, which showed how fierce the battle was.

As soon as he saw Ding Shilei, Wang Er's eyes lit up with stars, and he hurriedly confirmed with Ding Shilei: "Xiao Ding, when I went to take advantage of you, did you tell me that I was behind Shen San?"

Ding Shilei nodded in approval.

Seeing this, Wang Er smiled, and then asked Shen San angrily, "Have you seen it? Xiao Ding admitted it.
