Zhou Cheng was also very tired and didn't want to move, so he was full of energy again when he saw his daughter-in-law making a fuss with the children and seeing how happy they were.
Pei Xiu asked Zhou Yong to come first, and the older children took turns to catch one out. They were afraid that it would fly, so they hurriedly tied them with ropes.
Zhou Yi, Zhou Yong, and the older children took the lead in discussing that everyone should cover a little more together, get a few more tools, and cover them in different places.
After Pei Xiu finished the task, she sat back next to Zhou Cheng. He had fallen asleep leaning against the tree trunk, and she did not disturb him. Just sit there and watch the kids discuss splitting up.
A group of people acted in groups, and the efficiency was still very high. Several bamboo baskets were scattered and working at the same time. The adults also noticed it, thinking that this group of children were tossing something again. Seeing that they were still throwing grains of wheat on the ground and wasting food, the village chief was so angry that he could hardly breathe.
As soon as they stepped forward, they saw a lot of birds in their bamboo baskets. The footsteps paused and then slowed down. They stepped forward and asked, ''You don't have a lunch break, what are you doing? ''
Datou stepped forward and said: ''Grandpa, Mrs. Hammer taught us to cover the birds, so that they can eat our wheat every day. After we finish dividing the birds, I will bring it back in the evening and let my mother fry it for us. ''
The village chief thinks that this method is not bad. Every year when he is rushing to harvest, he does not know how much wheat will be eaten by the birds. Now it is very cost-effective to use this little handful to exchange for a bunch of birds. One meal of meat can also reduce the number of birds. After so many years, it is almost flooding. Just today let the children catch a wave.
After work, the participating children each took a bunch of birds home, and everyone was smiling.
The adults in the family knew about it and praised them. They were even happier. They were eagerly thinking about going to the hood tomorrow and getting a few more baskets.
But the bird's alertness became higher the next day, and everyone spent more time waiting for them to enter the range of the bamboo basket. Fortunately, several bamboo baskets were added at the same time.
Pei Xiu saw that it was getting late, so she planned to go back to cook. She saw them holding baskets when she passed the field, thinking that they might not be able to catch them tomorrow. It was just her whim, and she took the children to play. It will be fine. The business that should be done must not be left behind. It happened to be caught for two days, and then obediently went to pick up the wheat grains, otherwise the game would become addictive, and no one would pick up the wheat grains.
Their family doesn't have much land, that is, the labor force is small, otherwise the harvest would have been finished long ago, and the beans can be harvested one more day tomorrow.
In the past six months, she has often grown bean sprouts, but the consumption of beans is not large. One catty of beans can produce twelve catties of bean sprouts, which can be eaten for a long time. In previous years, beans were used to cook bean rice, and they were consumed faster.
Taking advantage of the good weather now, the wheat can be collected in one day. Everyone sees that the number of birds has decreased a lot today, and some people can't dry them directly on the field side, leaving a child to watch the birds. Where can the remaining children sit, watching other people catch birds and birds, and join in.
These birds have been very fat eating wheat recently. Everyone can't wait to take it home and put it on the field and roast it on the edge of the field.
Before lunch was delivered, everyone smelled the smell and couldn't go on anymore. I was hungry, hungry and tired. Zhou Cheng saw that the weather was getting late, so he simply quit the meeting and went to eat roasted birds.
Like Zhou Yong offering a treasure, he quickly gave one to his father. Don't look at it small, it's quite meaty and delicious to eat, but it's not easy to handle it today, so I'm all vigilant.
Zhou Cheng thought about it and asked him to go to the village chief's house to get the fishing net of last year's net fish. Zhou Yong was puzzled but still obedient to get it.
Although his daughter-in-law's method is good, it takes a lot of effort, and there are not many catches. He didn't care about the eldest son's thoughts on the side, he replaced the bamboo basket with a fishing net, supported it with a longer stick, and then used a long stick for the eldest son to hold and carry the net.
Zhou Yong also understood what his father meant, and stood up very cooperatively, letting the younger brothers go and stay.
According to his daughter-in-law's method, in order to let the birds relax their vigilance, he waited longer, and saw that the birds in mid-air almost flew down and entered the range. He pulled the rope, and Zhou Yong also cooperated very well. Put down the net.
This is the real sweep. The children cheered, and the people in the field were startled and came over to ask what was going on. Everyone was even more convinced of Zhou Cheng, this was directly killing all the birds in the field.
Excitedly, the children **** strings with ropes and sent them to the people in the fields. They have basically eaten it the day before and know the taste. Looking at the sky, it was almost time for lunch to arrive, so they all came up from the fields, and everyone roasted together.
When Pei Xiu's food was delivered, everyone was full. Looking at the bones all over the ground and the fire, there were not many birds in the sky. She was curious," "Everyone is a bird in the sky." All caught? Just in the morning? How many did you catch yesterday? ''
Uncle Dashan is still chewing on the bones." Zhou Cheng, wife and you are both smart people. One thought of using a bamboo basket, and the other was even more powerful and directly caught it with a fishing net. We all followed suit. After all, I ate a meal of meat, and also wiped out these birds, now I don’t have to worry about them eating wheat, haha. ''
Pei Xiu gave Zhou Cheng a thumbs up, and she copied it because he had a good brain. She smiled at Uncle Dashan and said: '' Now everyone can harvest wheat in peace. UU reading ’’
In the afternoon, there are no annoying birds and everyone can concentrate on harvesting the wheat, plus they are full and full of energy.
Uncle Dashan's field was right next to them. He watched Zhou Yong cut there shirtless, faster than Pei Xiu. The speed is faster than your mother, and she will be a strong worker in the future. She is as tall and tall as your father, and she is tall and handsome. She will definitely be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ''
Zhou Yong's tanned face turned red,'' Uncle, I'm still a child. ''
Everyone laughed. You talked to me, and you didn't delay your work. You were praising the children of Pei Xiu's family. They were smart, literate, and skilled in martial arts.
A few children blushed and their ears were all red. They shyly picked up the grains of wheat, but they didn't dare to say a word like their elder brother.
'' It's just a few days of school to learn a few words, who knows if there is any great promise, but I dare not be praised by everyone, they are still children. '' Pei Xiu was afraid that the children would take it seriously, and would become complacent and arrogant in the future. The child is still young, but he can't help it grow.
