Chapter 72： rush in the harvest

As the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the wheat in the fields has turned golden and golden, and all of them are bent over. The villagers come back from the fields every day looking relaxed and smiling. This year is another bumper year.

The wishes of the farmers are very simple. Every year, they hope that the weather will be smooth, the crops in the fields will be harvested, and the year's labor will be rewarded. This is their greatest wish. The root of every year's life is to rely on the production of the land, and the field is the lifeblood of farmers.

Brother Zhou's family is also beaming today, Zhou Yu is going to go out.

The Chen family is also a respectable family, so they rented a carriage to pick them up. Not to mention anything else, a horse-drawn carriage is already the number one share in every ten miles and eight villages. Anyone who gets married has an ox cart and a mule cart, which is already very beautiful. Many times, they are picked up by pushing a trolley.

People in the countryside are not well-off in the first place, and even marrying a daughter-in-law has to empty the family, and maybe they will have to pay debts. Who wants to spend more money on the expenses that can be saved.

Sister-in-law Zhou doesn't have much face today. She is full of spring breeze and is complimented by a group of relatives and neighbors. She can't stop smiling. Chen Jiatai gave her a long face, swept away the shadow of the past, and the gossip about getting married before the busy farming season was eliminated. Everyone now knows that the Chen family attaches great importance to this daughter-in-law, but they are too busy when rushing to collect and need personal help. They have become extremely understanding, and the style of speech has changed.

After the bride said goodbye and picked her up, Pei Xiu helped to clean up. In the backyard, she saw Mrs. Zhou's second daughter-in-law secretly pouring things there, and she was not familiar with her. That's fine, but I heard her cry in a low voice again, thinking that it's not good to just walk away, so I went over and asked, ''Hongye, what's the matter with you? ''

Lin Hongye looked at Pei Xiu with red eyes and said sobbing: ''Third aunt, I...I'm fine...''

\'\'fine? I'm leaving? \'\' After thinking about it, she didn't move her legs, and continued to say, ''What's the matter, tell me, I won't talk outside. ''

She wept like rain and wiped her tears with her back to Pei Xiu. She hesitated. Seeing that Pei Xiu was a little impatient, she summoned up the courage to ask: ''Third aunt, do you have the secret recipe for having a son? .''

''What? '' She has never given birth to a child herself, so how does she know there is a secret recipe for having a son. And what are the remedies for having a baby?

''I've been married for almost three years, and I've had nothing to do. I've tried a lot of home remedies, but none of them worked. If it weren't for the technical support of door embroidery, I would not be able to endure it. ''Lin Hongye wept silently, she was really helpless, the medicine she took for two years was not effective, the money from selling embroidery was subsidized to buy medicine, her mother-in-law had opinions on her, often the eyes were not the eyes, and the nose was not the nose. sting. Seeing how well-behaved and cute the sister-in-law's son was, she was greedy to death, and her heart ached when she thought about the child.

''You should see a doctor like this. Those remedies and secret recipes are all deceptive. It can't be a disease. It needs a doctor to cure it. Don't listen to other people's secret recipes. '' Pei Xiu frowned and listened to those who believed that, even if she was not sick, she would suffer from it. She originally listened to sympathy, just like her previous life. Who would have thought that she would be so ignorant to believe in remedies, and serious doctors would not look at them.

'' I have seen the doctor, and the doctor prescribed three months of medicine for me to take, and told me not to touch cold water. With so much work to do at home, how can I not touch cold water. At that time, I didn't have any money, so I took it for a month, and then I didn't have enough money to buy medicine after eating it, so I didn't go there. '' She said embarrassingly, the doctor gave up halfway, and she felt embarrassed.

''Don't believe these local recipes, they are all deceptive, you will get sick even if you don't get sick, and if you eat badly and can't get pregnant again, you have nowhere to cry. Doctors are always more reliable than rural earthworkers, right? If you listened to the doctor, you might have been pregnant long ago. Stop crying, take time to see the doctor. ’’ This is all due to the lack of reading, so the children still have to go to school.

When Lin Hongye heard that she could no longer conceive, she was frightened, her face was pale, and she said with a trembling voice: \'\'Third aunt, don't lie to me, can you really not conceive? \'\'

Pei Xiu didn't want to scare her, but she didn't want to say it seriously, for fear that she wouldn't believe her, so she continued to make remedies everywhere. \'\'You stop the remedies now and go to see a serious doctor, maybe you can get pregnant sooner. Continue to believe in remedies, and you might miss out on your child in the future. \'\'

She was really frightened when she looked like that, she nodded frantically, she should have heard it.

Saying what should be said, she also went back with Zhou Cheng, and she didn't have much to live. On the way back, I was glad that I now have three sons, so I don't have to worry about having children anymore.

When I went back, I went to the fields again. Seeing that the wheat was about to be harvested, it would not rain during this time. Everyone was praying to themselves. Many people had run out of food, so they depended on wild vegetable porridge to fool their stomachs.

She now has to go to the back hillside to take a look every day before she can sleep at ease. Zhou Cheng has seen potatoes and sweet potatoes grow, and they can harvest so much without applying fertilizer. Zhou Cheng is still very relieved, but he is worried that the soil on the hillside is not fertilized enough, which will affect the The harvest has an impact, and he wants to apply more fertilizer. Now his main energy is here.

He hasn't seen what corn can grow. Looking at this thin stalk, he doesn't know how it will bear fruit. The two crops are still very similar, and this one grows completely different.

He focuses on potatoes and sweet potatoes. After all, he knows that they are high-yielding crops. He also has expectations for corn, but he still focuses on fertilizing potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Pei Xiu didn't say anything about it~ just didn't leave out the corn. Potatoes and sweet potatoes can grow well without much fertilization, and they don’t require much labor. The fertilizer of corn must keep up, otherwise the corn kernels will not be full, and there will be gaps.

During this period of time, Pei Xiu has prepared the food very well, keeping the whole family full of energy. In a few days, they will be rushing to collect them. The village chief has notified them that they will start rushing in three days later. The old peasants who have been looking at the sky for many years can estimate when the weather will be good. Recently, the old peasants in the village touched the land every day and looked at the sky in the morning and evening. The village chief asked a few old peasants to discuss it. Today, every household has been notified. .

The school has also given half a month of agricultural leave, just to let the students help the family to **** the harvest.

Pei Xiu asked Zhou Cheng to recharge his energy a few days ago. After all, he was the only one to rely on at that time. His eldest brother and second brother had a lot of land, so he couldn't help. Several children in the family are still young, except for the eldest who can help to cut the wheat, the others can only pick up the wheat grains with baskets. She has to cook and deliver food again, and there is not much time when she can do it.

Harvesting is the hardest part. Harvest before dawn. Those who eat at noon eat directly by the field. After squinting under the tree for a while, they start to work until the sun slants to the west. Then they load the harvested wheat into trucks. Pulled home, threshed, and dried.
