Chapter 83： wheat harvest

Remember [New] for a second,! The wheat in the field has turned yellow. Taking advantage of these few days, it is necessary to quickly harvest the wheat and sow the corn. Later, the corn will not grow very well.

As of last year, there were five members of the Li family's hukou.

Except for Li Lei's hukou, which was moved to the army, the rest of the hukou is in the Li family.

After Li Xu got married, she did not move her household registration out. The household registration was always in her family's household registration book. It was not until I bought a house last year that I moved out of my hukou.

There are five people, each with one and a half mu of ration land, and the Li family has a total of more than seven mu of land.

Although Li Xu's household registration was moved out last year, the village considered that Li Lei was coming back soon, so the place was not taken back. When Li Lei moved his hukou back, it was time to make up for Li Lei's lack.

These seven acres of land are now all planted with winter wheat.

When the winter wheat is harvested, two acres of land will be freed up to build a greenhouse. Two more acres are freed up to plant seasonal vegetables. The rest of the land is planted with corn.

Therefore, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua hurried home to harvest wheat.

…

When Li Miao was looking for a job, Li Xu first thought of Li Yong.

If there is still a shortage of people in the Li Yong Hotel, that would be the best.

The life in the hotel is not tiring, and with Li Yong, his own brother, taking care of him, the family is also relieved.

However, unfortunately, Li Yong's restaurant is not short of people.

"Now the hotel business is not very good. We people are idle every day. How can we still recruit people? If this continues, I think I have to leave after a while."

After working for several days, Li Yong, who didn't even have time to take a look at Li Miao's college entrance examination, finally appeared.

Li Xu heard the words and started to worry: "Since this is the case, you should look at other jobs as soon as possible, and don't take the time off."

Li Yong opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he swallowed it.

"Auntie, you are so good, don't do the dishes." Ji Yuanyuan ran to Li Miao and said, "You can make a lot of money by going to tutoring."

Li Miao is a sure-fire college student. Wouldn't it be overkill to go to the restaurant to wash the dishes?

And now the least valuable thing is to work hard, knowledge is the most precious wealth.

Ji Yuanyuan's words brightened Li Miao's eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Xu and said, "Since the second brother's restaurant is not short of people, I will go home and help my parents cut the wheat before coming back to see if I can. The best thing to do is to find a tutoring job."

She originally thought that Li Yong's restaurant would definitely need someone, but she stayed behind instead of returning to her hometown with her parents.

But who knew it was a miscalculation.

Li Xu thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Alright, let's go back together when I come back from the vegetable market tomorrow."

Then she looked at Li Yong again: "Tomorrow morning, take the bus back to the hotel, and leave the bicycle to Miaomiao."

Li Yong agreed readily: "I know, you can use it."

The next day, Li Xu went to the vegetable market early in the morning, and Li Yong made breakfast for Li Miao and three children before returning to the restaurant.

After eight o'clock, Li Xu just came back from the vegetable market and had a simple meal. She and Li Miao returned to their hometown with their three children.

Ji Ziang was a little unhappy. He had already thought about the gifts he wanted, and he hadn't had time to tell Uncle Zhang.

"Mom, why didn't you wake me up in the morning? I still want to talk to Uncle Zhang."

Li Xu was pedaling three rounds in front, and she said perfunctorily, "Wait tomorrow morning, my mother will wake you up."

Just when they encountered an uphill, brothers Ji Ziang and Ji Zixuan jumped out of the car bucket and pushed hard behind them.

Li Xu and Li Miao returned home, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were not there, they must have gone to harvest wheat.

At this time, machines were not yet widespread, and all the work in the fields depended on manual labor.

When a few people arrived at the field, they saw Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua from a distance, holding sickles in their hands, bending over to cut wheat.

In just one day's work, the old couple cut almost two acres of land.

Li Xu took the sickle on the tricycle and instructed Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang: "You two just wait here, don't run around, do you know if you are optimistic about your sister?"

Ji Zixuan nodded, but Ji Ziang had already started to look around.

Li Xu was a little worried, and warned again: "There are many wells around here, don't run around, Ji Ziang, did you hear?"

When his name was called, Ji Ziang nodded randomly: "I know Mom, I won't run around."

Li Xu just walked back three steps.

Ji Zixuan brought his younger brother and sister to the shade of the tree, and instructed: "Let's wait here, don't go anywhere, just read a book if you're bored."

He took out his schoolbag and turned over the textbook: "Zi'ang, this is the textbook for the fifth grade, you can study by yourself first."

He took out another villain book and put it in front of Ji Yuanyuan.

When Ji Ziang was in such a place, he couldn't stop reading a book at all, thinking about the cicadas in the trees for a while, and the little bugs in the ditch for a while.

Although Ji Yuanyuan was not interested in villains, he was even less interested in other things.

She was sitting in the shade, looking at Li Xu and the others.

Looking around, the nearby wheat is almost finished. If it hadn't been delayed by my aunt's college entrance examination, my grandparents would have finished taking them now.

After a while, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her face.

She felt so hot even under the shade of a tree. Li Xu and the others were working under the sun, how hard it must be.

Hurry up to build the greenhouse, and when you make money, everyone will not have to work so hard.

Ji Yuanyuan saw Ji Ziang looking at Li Xu and others who were working in the field with a curious expression, and he had a plan: "Second brother, let's go and help, finish the work in the field as soon as possible, we can go home earlier, you Don't you want to see Uncle Zhang?"

When Ji Ziang heard Ji Yuanyuan's words, his eyes lit up instantly.

He pulled Ji Zixuan and said excitedly, "Brother, let's go, let's help."

Ji Zixuan got up, grabbed Ji Yuanyuan's little hand, followed behind Ji Ziang, and walked deeper and shallower into the ground.

In the field, piles of wheat were piled together, golden yellow. As soon as you get close, you can smell the aroma of wheat coming from your face.

"Mom, we're here to help, what do you need us to do?" Ji Ziang stepped forward very excitedly and asked.

Only then did Li Xu realize that the three of them had come. She straightened up and wiped the sweat from her face, "You don't need your help, just go and sit in the shade."

Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan's little face was flushed from the sun, she took off the hat from her head and put it on Ji Yuanyuan's head: "Are you hungry?"

Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. Seeing that Li Zhiming had already cut a lot, she hurried forward and piled the cut wheat into a bundle, and then piled them together on the wheat pile not far behind.

Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang followed suit.
