Chapter 390： harvest

Pei Xiu suddenly felt that half a day was too short, too playful, and half an acre of land could not be collected. This is not an experience, but a fun.

"Can you do it for a day? Can you do it?"

"Mother, I should be fine, they seem to have done it." The boss also looked like a brother at this time.

The three brothers of the Zhou family and Zhou Shan had no opinion and listened to Pei Xiu.

Xiao Jiu saw that the four- and five-year-old children in the surrounding fields were picking up wheat grains. They had no reason to say no, "Mrs. Zhou, all the young children in the village are working in the fields, so we can do it."

The others saw it and nodded.

"Well, if you feel tired, you can rest under the shade of the tree. At noon, I will have someone cook some mung bean soup for you, and bring some watermelons over to relieve the heat."

Then he said to the county lord: "The county lord, you are very precious, but don't force it. If you are tired, stop and tell Caiwei if you are uncomfortable, you know?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhou. Although I'm spoiled, but I'm only doing the work of picking up wheat, I can still do it."

After speaking, I couldn't wait to bend down and learn to pick up grains of wheat from the children on the side, and the others also started to work.

It was the first time for the county owner and Xiao Jiu to go to the ground. They were fresh. Pei Xiu smiled and shook his head.

She went back to stand under the shade of the tree, intending to stay here for a while, but the head guard came over and said to her: "Mrs. Zhou, the masters are working, we can't stand and watch, we also plan to go to the ground, you help us and the village Let him make an arrangement."

This surprised her a bit, but it was reasonable.

"But there aren't that many scythes..."

The captain of the guard patted the saber on his waist, "Our saber is sharper than the sickle, it's fine."

She nodded and walked towards the village chief with the chief guard, explaining the situation.

The village chief couldn't ask for it. The wheat was harvested earlier, and everyone could feel at ease earlier. Now they are afraid that another heavy rain will knock down the wheat.

There were a total of thirty guards in the two waves, and half of them went to the ground, and the others guarded the shore to prevent accidents.

At their request, the village chief could only arrange the fifteen people in the fields next to them.

They are not here to work, they are there to guard their masters.

After everything was in order, there were guards on the edge of the field, and Pei Xiu returned to the village with peace of mind, and asked Li's sister-in-law Cheng Bo to cook more mung bean soup at noon.

He ordered Qingsong and Qingzhu to drive to the village and go door to door to ask if there were any watermelons for sale, and to buy some more. They would have to live for several days.

The villagers have people at home to cook, so they are not afraid of running out of steam.

From time to time, she would stand at the gate of the courtyard and look at the wheat fields, not knowing how long a few children could last...

After all, the boss and the others are novices, and they are slow to cut with their hands. The village chief has finished cutting a ridge, and they have only cut half.

Moreover, after bending over and cutting for a long time, my back and hands are also sore, so I have to straighten my waist and move around every now and then.

Wearing a curtain hat and bowing his head to cut the wheat was a hindrance. After a while, the boss tore off the hat and threw it aside.

"It's much more comfortable to take off, it won't obstruct the line of sight, and it's more comfortable when the wind blows."

The second child and Zhou Shan also took it away when they saw it.

The boss teased Zhou Shan, "Aren't you afraid of getting tanned? If a white and tender little white face is tanned for a day, it will turn into black carbon."

"I'm a man, I'm afraid of being a little darker, maybe I'm more masculine."

This made the woman on the side laugh.

"The hair hasn't even grown yet, and it's still manly, and the book business is about the same." The boss beat him rudely.

He smiled and said shamelessly: "Maybe both, because I am both civil and military."

The third child squatted on the ground, raised his head and said, "Zhou Shan, your skin is getting thicker and thicker, and everyone has been deceived by your skin."

"Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black. I learned this from you."

Princess Xuexi summed up, "You are all the same."

While working and laughing, they also felt that time went by much faster, and besides being a little tired from the hot spots, they really enjoyed it a bit.

When Pei Xiu came to deliver the meal, she was relieved after hearing from the guards that they hadn't come to rest in the shade all morning.

Let the servant call for everyone to come and eat together. The lunch is white flour steamed buns, steamed steamed buns in two large bamboo baskets, two large buckets of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a bowl of green vegetables, two large buckets of mung bean soup, and a few large watermelons.

A carriage could not fit, so they carefully drove two carriages to deliver meals.

The six men came with scythes and carefully trotted with baskets.

Seeing that their faces were flushed red and sweating like rain, Pei Xiu also felt distressed.

"Are you tired?" Wipe the sweat from their faces with a handkerchief. "Why did you three take off the curtain caps, so don't get sunburned?"

"Tired, it's not easy being a farmer."

"It's too troublesome to carry, and it's too obstructive to the sight. If it's not bad for a day, it should be darker at most."

Forget it, it's nothing to be black at all, and it will slowly return to white after a while.

"Wash your hands and eat."

"It's so fragrant, we're all so hungry, Mrs. Zhou, you came at the right time." The county owner looked at the food with bright eyes. She had never eaten on the floor before, but today I gave her a taste of it. .

Eating anything on an empty stomach feels fragrant, and Princess Xuexi also learned from them, holding the steamed buns in one hand and the meat with chopsticks in the other, and ate it in big mouthfuls, and the floor was not too dirty.

Caiwei didn't talk about her anymore at this time, she was so distressed, she had never seen the princess eat so much, she was really hungry.

She picked it up with her, and felt that squatting for a long time was very tiring, but she didn't expect that the pampered princess would be able to persevere.

"The county owner eats slowly, don't swallow, let's go with a bowl of mung bean soup." She filled the county owner with a bowl and handed it to her mouth.

I really feel good eating anything when I'm hungry~ In such a simple environment and simple meals, Princess Xuexi is very satisfied, and I ate two steamed buns.

The others were full after eating three or four steamed buns, and sat on the side and rested contentedly.

Pei Xiu asked the captain of the guards to greet the guards to come and eat together, and she prepared a lot of steamed buns and vegetables.

Even the guards who were standing guard also shared a steamed bun and a bowl of mung bean soup.

The villagers sat not far away and did not dare to approach, and looked at the two big buckets of meat with greedy eyes. The Erhuang noodle steamed buns in hand were dipped in the broth in the bowl, and they were also delicious.

"Qingsongqingzhu, take down the watermelon and cut it up."

Pei Xiu looked at the basket on the side, took it over and looked at it, "It was picked up by the county master. It's a lot of harvest. I picked up so much in one morning."

"Hee hee, Mrs. Zhou, I'm going to take this basket of wheat back for my parents and concubine to see, to prove that I'm not here to play."

"The county master is very powerful, and the average girl is not as good as you." She also praised, the Xuexi county master really made her look up to her, and it was not easy for a delicate lady to go to the ground.
