"Ask you, have you heard what our mother and the others say?" Lian Zhier's face turned slightly red. He did not answer Lian Man'er's words, but continued to ask.
It turned out that when Wu Wang came, he deliberately sent her away and only talked to Zhang. Lian Zhier saw that Wu Wang seemed to have something to do, and he suspected that they were talking about her marriage with Wu Jiaxing, so he wanted to avoid her. She was worried and it was hard to listen. When she saw Lian Man'er coming back, she didn't say anything. She knew that if Lian Man'er heard something, she would definitely tell her.
Seeing that Lian Man'er was shy again, she stopped teasing her, but said everything she had just heard to Lian Zhi'er.
"Why can't I calm down?!" Lian Zhier frowned slightly after hearing this.
It's so capable, Lian Man'er nodded.
"Mom and aunt must not be able to talk about this in front of us. Let's just pretend that we don't know." After that, Lian Man'er also instructed Lian Zhier.
"Well, I know this." Lian Zhi'er nodded.
Lian Man'er asked Lian Zhi'er to stop her work. The two sisters came out and planned to wash Xiangu for Wang Wu to eat. Xiangu Lian Man'er did not bring Xiangu to the backyard, but stayed in the cross-yard kitchen. The two sisters walked to the front yard and passed by the study room and heard movement inside.
"Brother, are you back?" Lian Man'er asked inside.
"Yes." Goro replied.
"Brother, Aunt Wu is here and chat with our mother in the backyard." Lian Man'er told Wulang.
"I understand. I'll go there now." Goro said and walked out of the study. Although Goro wanted to hurry up and review the book, when guests came to his house, he still wanted to greet him and say a few words. This is etiquette.
"Hey, Xiaoqi?" Lian Man'er asked strangely when she saw that Goro was the only one.
"Well, Xiaoqi, take a bath." Goro pointed at the cross-yard. At this time, Lian Man'er also heard the cheerful cry of Dapang and Erpang.
Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er passed through the Yuedong Gate and saw a large water tank in the courtyard where they crossed the yard. Dapang was having fun around the water tank, while Erpang stood up and put his front paws on the edge of the water tank with great effort and shouted at the water tank.
Xiaoqi was missing.
"Xiaoqi, come out quickly. You choke on the water later and have no place to cry." Lian Man'er said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoqi came out of the water tank wet.
"Big sister, second sister." Xiaoqi touched the water on his face and said to Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er with a smile.
There was more than half of the water in the water tank. Xiaoqi stood in the tank, and it was not much higher than the tank. The water surface was exactly higher than Xiaoqi's navel.
It is hot in summer, and if you don’t take a shower at the end of the day, you will feel sticky and uncomfortable. There are several deep puddles around the small river in the village. The half-grown children and even the old men like to go there, Fushuier and take a bath. In the past, Shouxin once took Goro and Xiaoqi to the river to take a shower.
Now, Lian Man'er's family has built a bathroom by herself. She is even busy with trustworthy affairs and is not very much the same as before, so she no longer goes to the river. If you want to wash, just wash at home. Xiaoqi is planning to wash in the river. In fact, he wants to go to Fushuier to play. Of course, Zhang refused, even if Wulang took Xiaoqi, Zhang did not let go.
In addition to going to the river, there is another way for farmers to take a bath in summer, which is to dry a large jar of water. After a noon exposure, the water in the water tank is hot, and taking a bath is the most comfortable. Lian Man'er's house has a bathroom, so she didn't have to do this anymore. Xiaoqi likes to play with water like this, so she has to dry a jar of water in the yard every day, waiting for Xiaoqi to come back from school to take a bath.
This is a bathtub dedicated to Xiaoqi. In the past, Xiaoqi either even helped Shuxin or Zhang to help him, and he must have taken off all his clothes. Now, Xiaoqi has gone to a private school and said that he has grown up and is reluctant to keep his butt naked anymore. For example, now, Xiaoqi has taken off his clothes, but he still has a bellyband on his body.
Half, naked, but actually just bare butt. Lian Man'er smiled secretly.
"Xiaoqi, sister rub your back." Lian Man'er smiled.
"Oh, sister, you don't need you, I've rubbed it all for me." Xiaoqi quickly refused, and buried his body in the water.
The little brat knew that it was ashamed, and there was a difference between men and women. Seeing Xiaoqi's embarrassment, Lian Man'er couldn't help but giggle.
At this time, Wulang had already gone to the backyard to say hello to Wu Wang and brought Xiaoqi to change his clothes.
When Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er went into the kitchen to wash the melon, cut another watermelon and stowed it out in a large tray, Xiaoqi had been taken out of the water tank by Goro, wiped his hair and body, and changed into clean new clothes.
"Let's go, eat melons." Lian Man'er greeted Goro and Xiaoqi.
Several children went to the backyard with a smile and went to the landlord's house. Everyone ate the melons together. Wu Wang said something for a while before saying goodbye and left. Of course, they also brought the half basket of fresh water chestnuts prepared by Zhang for her.
After the King of Wu left, Wulang asked Zhang if there was any news from Taicang when Wang of Wu came. Zhang just shook his head and said no. Lian Man'er knew that Zhang had made up his mind to not let them know about this. However, in the next few days, Lian Shuixin's face was always gloomy, and even if Xiaoqi went to coax it, it was rare to see a smile. Lian Man'er thought about it secretly and concluded that Zhang told Lian Shuixin that the news.
...
The days pass quickly, and the Great Heat solar term is coming. The hottest time of the year is here, and it is also the season for wheat harvest. The growth period of spring wheat is relatively short, and the seeds are earlier than other crops, so harvesting is the earliest. Wheat is different from corn, sorghum and other crops. Its harvesting time is the most important time, neither early nor late. In the early days, the grouting of the wheat grains is not full enough, and if it is late, the wheat grains will fall off the ears. The time gap between morning and evening is very short, and one day or two days, maybe a missed opportunity.
In the season of wheat harvest, it is most avoided to rain. If the wheat is ripe and cannot be harvested before the rain, the wheat grains will sprout, affecting the harvest.
So when it comes to harvesting wheat, you usually have to add a word robbery in front.
Lian Shouxin watched in the field for a few days, and finally waved his hand.
"Where the wheat is ripe, we start to harvest the wheat."
The harvest of wheat is similar to that of millet. It is to use a sickle to cut the whole plant of wheat, then tie it into bundles and transport it back to the drying site. In order to seize the wheat, Lian Shouxin brought three long-term workers and invited Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing and his son to help. Then he hired a few short-term workers and took a whole day to harvest all the ten acres of wheat.
After the harvest, only a short stubble of wheat straw remained. Zhang, even the branches and even the mane did not participate in the harvesting of wheat, but they were not idle. The three of them wore clothes to the ground, had straw hats on their heads, and tied their trousers tightly with straps underneath, and wrapped their feet. One of them carried a basket in his hand and picked up the ears of wheat in the harvested wheat field.
The three of them picked up the ten acres of land twice, and even called Zhao and Lian Ye'er to help.
The hard work of growing crops is full of the sweat and hard work of farmers, so it is impossible to waste it. Even those farmers who have never read books and cannot read a big word also understand this simple truth. Therefore, you can often hear adults tutoring children at the dinner table, and there are no rice granules left in the rice bowl. They do not know the big truth, and even if they talk about it, they may not understand it. Many adults just warn children that if they have rice granules left in the rice bowl, they will fall on their faces in the future. Some places have different opinions, saying that this is the case, when they grow up, they will marry a son-in-law with a macadamia or a macadamia wife.
Not to mention, this kind of scaring is always very effective.
The harvested wheat has been transported back to Lianman'er's yard and started to dry it. The wheat ears here have been picked up, and Lian Shouxin took the long-term workers to the ground. They have to quickly clean the wheat stubble, re-pair the land, and then plant another crop.
The wheat stubble was finely broken, and after being dug out, the soil on it was cleaned up, and it was not transported to the house. If these wheat stubble were made of firewood, it would not be burned. So, even Shuxin piled the wheat stubble in a large pit on the ground, poured it with water, and then transported some manure and poured it on it to prepare for fermenting.
In order to rush the work, no man-made picks were used to dig these wheat stubbles, but simply asked mules and cows to pull the plow sticks down the ground. The workers only needed to follow behind and pick up the wheat stubbles that were turned up by the plow sticks with an iron pick and transport them to the ground.
After ten acres of land were reorganized, half of them planted soybeans, and the other half planted cabbage.
Planting vegetables into the field is something that the village households in Sanshiliyingzi have never done before. Lian Man'er has her plan.
The cabbage from five acres of land should naturally be kept for the pickled sauerkraut sold this year. This cabbage was planted earlier than the cabbage in the garden, and naturally it would be harvested earlier. It would just make the pickled sauerkraut go on the market earlier and sell more. And the soybeans from five acres of land should not worry about it. Soybeans have many uses, such as changing tofu, changing to soybean oil, and so on.
These soybeans are naturally harvested much later than those planted in spring plowing, and even Shuxin is a little worried. Although farmers encounter shortages of seedlings in farming and do not have time to replant the original crops, they usually replant soybeans. It is no problem to harvest soybeans later, but it is the first time they have planted so late.
Lian Shouxin was worried that the beans would not grow by then.
"It's just that the beans are too tender at that time, so you won't be afraid." Lian Man'er smiled, "The beans are tender, aren't they selling edamame?"
