Chapter 293 Finished
Stir-fried fat with cucumbers, stir-fried beans with meat, a few fried eggs, pickled cucumbers, and pickled beans.
After preparing the meal, he carried two baskets to the fields.
He walked to the edge of the field and called out, "Yuanshan, it's time to eat."
Then he went south and put the basket on the ground at the foot of the mountain: "Brother Shen, Wenshan, come and have dinner."
Shen Rongshan replied without even looking up: "I'll finish cutting this."
Ji Wenhe looked over and saw that he could finish the harvest in two minutes.
Seeing Shen Yuanshan coming, let him eat first.
"Sister-in-law, the two plots of land have been prepared and water has just been put in."
"Okay, we'll plant the rice the day after tomorrow and prepare the three plots of land here this afternoon."
We will winnow the wheat tomorrow, clean it up and put it in the shed.
"By the way, Yuanshan, you should sell the wheat early. If you wait until the rice is planted, the price will probably go down."
He nodded: "Well, the day after tomorrow, let my eldest brother take it to the town to sell it the day after tomorrow."
Sell it early and you can get a good price.
But their family only has seven acres of land, so they can't harvest much.
Ji Wenhe saw the two people coming over from the fields: "Today we will prepare the three plots of land and add water. Tomorrow we will plant the wheat and sell it the day after tomorrow. Then we can plant the rice."
"I'll go the day after tomorrow." Shen Rongshan put the sickle on the ground and picked up the rice in the basket. "There's a lot of land this year, so I'll be busy for two or three days."
"Wen He, it's your birthday this month. I'll go to the street and buy some meat. What else do you want to buy?"
Seventeen, her birthday, nine days left.
"Buy a fish, a pound of shrimp, two pounds of spareribs, and half a pound of vinegar and soy sauce. We have vegetables at home." He turned to look at the twins, "Besides these, what else do you want to eat?"
They both shook their heads.
"Gone."
Ji Wenhe sat next to Shen Rongshan and said, "Buy two more fish and make soup with one for Uncle Da Nian."
He has been lying at home during this period because he cannot move his hands for fear of bumping into anything if he goes out.
"Okay, I'll bring you food tonight."
No matter how busy he was, he would go over every night to check on the dogs, cook for them, and remind them not to run around, especially not wandering around the foot of the mountain.
"Uncle Ping's family has already started planting rice. His two acres of land are harvested quickly. Uncle Ping is also very capable. He can harvest two acres of wheat by himself."
After Shen Ping's family harvested the wheat, they plowed the field and left water overnight. Then they got up early the next day to plant rice seedlings. I heard that they got up to work before daybreak.
Zhao Sanniang was taking care of her children while pulling rice seedlings at home.
Shen Yuanshan looked up and said, "Uncle Ping is very hardworking. He has been alone at home all these years. If we are free, we will go to help him."
Now that I have a son, I am full of energy.
Ji Wenhe nodded admiringly, retracted his gaze, and buried his head in eating.
Shen Rongshan put the empty bowl into the basket: "Wen He, I'll take the wheat back to them, you can eat slowly."
She looked over and said distressedly, "Why don't you take a break?"
"No rest, just pull the plow and return it to the owner as soon as possible."
"Sister-in-law, we're going too."
The twins put down their bowls and trotted after him.
Ji Wenhe sighed helplessly. After finishing the farm work at home, he went to the town to buy farm tools for farming, so he didn't have to borrow them from others every time.
After dinner, I went home and continued threshing the wheat.
"Sister-in-law, it's really convenient for your family to lay this cloth. My family will do the same next year." Su Xiaolian held a clay pot filled with water with salt.
This is what I heard her say. She said drinking salt water while doing farm work can replenish physical strength, and there are some other things that I can't understand.
"It saves a lot of trouble to lay the cloth underneath. The three pieces I made are a bit small. I will make them bigger next year."
Ji Wenhe squatted on the ground and used a sieve to sift out the broken wheat straw.
Winnowing wheat can only remove some small dust, while slightly larger wheat straw will remain in it.
After talking for a while, Su Xiaolian went eastward holding the pottery jar.
After harvesting wheat, each family began to borrow plows to prepare the land.
"Sister-in-law, bring the basket. Sieve it and pour it in." Shen Wenshan put the basket next to her. "I'll go get some water for my brother and come back in a minute."
"Okay, go ahead."
Pour the sifted wheat into baskets and take it to town to sell tomorrow.
She looked up and saw that the sun was shining brightly in the sky and the wind was hot.
In the afternoon, four people were sifting wheat at home.
I was busy until the evening, and only went back to eat, wash up and go to bed when it got dark.
The next day, Ji Wenhe carried a small stool and went to the vegetable field to pull up seedlings.
The two brothers carried bundles of seedlings and went to the field to plant them.
"It's still cool in the morning, Wen He, why are you here so early?"
She looked up and saw Huang Guihua coming over with a bench and some wet straw in her arms: "Yes, let's take advantage of the coolness in the morning."
"You have a lot of land this year, so you'll be busy for a few days."
"Yeah." Ji Wenhe responded, not wanting to talk much.
Fortunately, he didn't continue talking to her and they both concentrated on their work.
The bundled seedlings were thrown into a pile, and seeing that they were almost done planting, I carried the seedlings over to them.
The two brothers were transplanting the rice seedlings very quickly, and she couldn't keep up by herself, so Shen Wenshan came over to help, and waited until there were more seedlings before transplanting them.
Shen Rongshan had just returned to the village entrance with his donkey cart when he was stopped by Shen Ping: "Rongshan, lend me your donkey cart."
"Row."
The rope was handed to him and he went straight to the field.
When Ji Wenhe got up to drink water, he saw that he had returned and was planting rice in the field.
After drinking two bowls of water, he went to the river to wash his face and went back to continue pulling out the seedlings.
Starting from the time she harvested wheat and continuing for several days until she had finished planting the seedlings and vegetable seeds, she felt like she was about to collapse.
Last year I felt that transplanting rice seedlings was hard work, but this year I truly felt the hardship of farming, which cannot be described in words.
Lying on the bed like a frost-bitten eggplant, she had been resting at home for three days but still didn't want to get out of bed or move.
Shen Rongshan came back from washing clothes and heard sighing sounds coming from inside the house. He walked in and said, "Wen He, lie down. I'll massage your legs."
Ji Wenhe was too lazy to move his fingers, and squinted his eyes: "Turn me over."
He smiled indulgently: "Okay."
"It's so comfortable." No wonder many people in their previous lives liked to take a bath and get a massage.
Professional techniques must be more comfortable than this.
When he pinched the painful spot, he pulled his leg back suddenly: "Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts..."
"I'll be gentler." Shen Rongshan grabbed her ankle and pulled her over, using less force. "It's your birthday tomorrow, let's go to town and buy a gold bracelet."
Ji Wenhe lay on the pillow, raised his hand, and said lazily: "I'm tired. I don't want to move unless you let me go to the town and bring back a ton of gold."
Then she instantly became full of energy and no pain anywhere.
"Brother Shen, I also want to buy a gold bracelet, but my home is not very safe. I feel it will be stolen wherever I put it, and I can't take it out."
I can only take it out at night and enjoy it alone.
"You can't have your birthday without buying anything."
On the twins' birthdays, I made two pairs of clothes for each of them, bought two pairs of new shoes, and gave them two red envelopes.
On his birthday, I also bought him clothes and shoes, and gave him a red envelope, although I handed it in later.
