Chapter 330 330 Harvest Heavy Rain
After picking up rice ears for a while, Yangyang and Qijin felt bored. Suddenly, they saw two red-breasted frogs fluttering out of the center of the rice field. Yangyang and Qijin stuffed the rice ears in their hands into the bamboo baskets and chased after them. Going up, Sanzi and Erya also chased them with bamboo baskets on their backs. Several children kicked the two red breasts flying everywhere. They picked up two stones as they agreed and said with a smile: "Get out of the way, Uncle Yi." of."
Several people hurriedly ran away, and when they saw Ruyi waved his hand, two red breasts immediately fell into the rice field. Several children clapped their hands and cheered, "Wow! Uncle Yi is so awesome."
Qijin looked at Ruyi with admiration, "Daddy is so awesome." Ruyi smiled proudly and touched Qijin's head, "You will be better than dad when you grow up if you practice kung fu hard."
Maizi picked up the red breast from the rice field and handed it to Yangyang and Qijin, "Master, Qijin, you two take it back and let Granny Yun lock it up."
The two stretched out their hands to grab Red Breast's wings and nodded with a smile, "Yeah! Mushroom stew is delicious, Master's favorite."
"Yeah! Go back and keep it until the master comes back and feed it to the master."
Mrs. Yun carried two buckets of herbal tea to the edge of the rice field and shouted loudly: "Herbal tea is here. Come and drink herbal tea for those who are thirsty..."
Yangyang pulled Qijin and ran to the field. "Master, Qijin, run slowly," Mrs. Yun looked at the two people sweating profusely. She smiled and helped them put on the straw hats that had escaped, and looked at The two men were holding the frogs and said with a smile: "Master, you are very lucky! You even caught two red breasts."
"Uncle Yi shot him down, and he's not dead yet! Grandma Yun took it back and kept it until Master comes back to stew it for him to eat." The two handed the frog to Grandma Yun, and Yangyang picked up the gourd ladle and took a sip of herbal tea and drank it. One bite, "Wow! It's a bit bitter."
Qijin took it and took a big sip, looking at Yangyang with a smile, "I know, this is made with the herbal tea picked by the old lady."
"It doesn't taste good." Yangyang shook his head.
"Be careful not to get heat stroke." Mrs. Yun warned the two of them before walking back with her red breasts in hand.
During lunch, Yangyang ran to Li Yu with a bamboo basket on his back, pointed at the small half basket of rice ears in the bamboo basket and asked for credit with a smile: "Mom, look, these are the rice ears I picked up."
Li Yu looked at his son's sunburned little face, took off the straw hat on his head and wiped the sweat from his face, and said with a smile: "Well! My good son, I will make cakes for you to eat when the new Mi Niang is beaten. "
Yangyang smiled happily and held Li Yu's hand, "Okay, I'll give it to Brother Qijin."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Okay! I won't forget your Qijin brother."
After two days of busy work, the sky was clear and clear. Today we took a break for lunch and went to the fields to continue harvesting rice. After working for more than half an hour, the wind started to pick up.
An older day laborer waved his hand, looked at the sky, and shouted to everyone anxiously: "Oh no, the cool breeze is going to cause heavy rain. Everyone, please hurry up and finish the harvested rice and carry it home. The millet cutters should go back quickly to help harvest the grain in the drying field."
"It's going to rain, don't continue to cut the millet, go back and collect the millet quickly." The day laborers shouted loudly at the people who cut the millet.
Aunt Xue raised her head and glanced at Luoji Mountain. Seeing the dark clouds gathering on the top of the mountain, she hurriedly ran back with the sickle, shouting: "Stop cutting the millet, it's going to rain. Go back to the drying field to help harvest the millet." ." The people who were immersed in cutting grain stopped when they heard the shouting, and ran back with big strides.
The person who stepped on the rice thresher also tried to speed up, and the child carrying the grain handle hugged the handle and started running. Awei and Ruyi ran back and drove two bullock carts out, pulling baskets of rice to the drying field.
Li Yu also noticed that the weather was not right in the drying field, and shouted to Guyu and others: "Hurry up and harvest the millet, I'm afraid it's going to rain."
"Got it." Gu Yu and others responded loudly, and hurriedly ran to pick up the push rake and push the grain together.
Li Yu, Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Xu pushed the millet hard into the warehouse with rake handles. Others held brooms to sweep up the millet scattered on the ground and put it into baskets.
Aunt Xue and Mrs. Lin led people back to the drying area and the drying area of the reverse seat room. Everyone picked up their things and got busy. As soon as they took the grain back to the warehouse, even the scattered grains on the ground had not had time to be cleaned up, they discovered Scattered raindrops fell down, hitting the tiles with a snapping sound. Everyone picked up the big brooms and quickly swept the grains scattered on the ground into the warehouse.
At this time, Ruyi and the others also brought back the remaining grain. Everyone quickly carried the baskets into the warehouse, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
"It's still a bit lucky." Everyone gasped and leaned on the wall of the verandah, watching the heavy rain hitting the tiles and flowing down the eaves, with triumphant smiles on their faces.
The heavy rain stopped after half an hour. After the clouds and fog dispersed, the sun rose again. Everyone got busy again. The threshers went to the rice fields, and the millet dryers cleaned up the rainwater in the drying ground. The millet in the warehouse is rolled out and spread out to dry.
The people in Zhuangzi were busy in the rice fields. Baskets of rice were picked up on the ridges and brought back to Zhuangzi. Old Zoutou and Uncle Cai were so excited that they loudly said: "Our rice in Zhuangzi is better than before when we went out." You can harvest a lot more rice by working part-time."
Uncle Cai also felt that he had lived for decades, and this was the first time he saw such good crops. His eyes shone with excitement, "Yes! I didn't expect that the soil dug from the mountains is quite fertile, and there are also those corn cobs." , Hey! That thing is so cute to look at!"
"Alas!" The little loach sighed like an adult, "Now you don't have to worry about having nothing to eat."
"Yes! If you eat well and drink enough, you will have hope for life. If you are tired and miserable, you will forget it as soon as you sleep. Sometimes I think of the feeling of getting up in the middle of the night to drink cold water in the cold winter months. Alas. !..." Uncle Dashui said with an expression that was hard to explain.
At this time, Ruyi was on the field, smiling and shouting loudly to the sweaty old Zoutou and the others: "Everyone, work harder. After harvesting this field, we will call it a day and go home. Tonight we added two big dishes, braised hoof and pork chop, I could smell the aroma of roasted duck with taro in the drying yard, and it made me salivate."
When Maizi heard that there was a duck roasted with taro, he shouted anxiously: "Uncle Yi, ducks are used to lay eggs, it would be a pity to kill them!"
"This guy is a good guy who cares about his family." Ruyi laughed loudly.
Uncle Cai took the grain handle and joked loudly, "You brat, the roasted duck with taro seeds in this season is so delicious. You will forget about feeling bad when you eat it in your mouth."
Maizi frowned in pain and shouted: "Why don't you feel bad? How many ducks do we have to kill for so many of us!"
"Ha, ha... This guy is pretty good. He will be a good man who can take care of the house in the future." Everyone burst out laughing looking at Mai Zi's anxious look.
