On the second day, Li Qingshan found a suitable woman, who was about the same age as his mother, through his teeth.

This woman's surname is Miao, and she has been doing housework at home on weekdays, because she has to ask her husband or her son for some money, so she always wants to earn some money of her own.

As soon as she heard that there was such a job that would not delay her running the housework but also earn money, she wanted to come without even thinking about it.

In this way, the Yazi who specialize in finding jobs for others are all locals, and they are all recorded in the county government.

Yazi brought him to Li Qingshan and Cong Chunhua. Cong Chunhua saw that the woman surnamed Miao had neatly combed her hair, her clothes were clean, and her nails were clean. She was satisfied, so she

smiled and said, "Then try it for two days."

The heart that has been hanging in the morning until now, after seeing this extremely kind smile, let it go, showing a shy but expectant smile, "I will definitely do it well." And the woman surnamed

Miao It really didn't disappoint. Although he didn't talk much, he did his work very cleanly and quickly.

With her here, Cong Chunhua and Li Suzhi were finally at their busiest business hours. One person weighs, one person cuts pieces, and one person makes cold salad. The three people have a clear division of labor, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

After a few days, it finally came to the hardest time of the year - harvesting the wheat.

As the saying goes: "90% of the harvest is 90% mature, and 90% of the harvest is 10% mature." It means that if the wheat is harvested when it is fully ripe, the yield will be reduced.

In this way, the nine-ripe wheat has a lot of water vapor, so it is afraid of mold, and it has to be pulled to the threshing floor to dry immediately after harvesting. But this is the time when it rains the most, so there is a saying: "When the wheat is ripe, the tiger's mouth grabs the grain."

In the past few days, due to the high profit of jelly, the shop can earn 340 to 50 Wen a day at least, plus the pig that Li Qingshan has to kill every day, the total interest can be around 500 Wen.

It would be worthless if the shop was delayed because of the wheat harvest.

So a few days ago, Li Qingshan hired four men in the county. I agreed with them early on that the money will be calculated by the mu, one hundred and twenty coins per mu, and the food will be taken care of.

On the day of wheat harvest, Li Qingshan got up earlier than before, after slaughtering the pigs, he sent the meat to the shop, and then picked up the four men who were waiting there at the gate of the city.

Excluding half an acre of cotton and half an acre of ramie, there is a total of 14 mu of wheat. This job can't be done in a day, so the four men all brought their own bedding, and then they will sleep directly in the wheat field. Wrapped to look at the wheat.

Li Qingshan also lived through hard times, and he was very considerate of others. After the four men were assigned the land according to the acre, he went home and brought two large buckets of water that the willow fish had dried in the morning.

One bucket is added with some salt to prevent dehydration, and the other bucket is soaked with mint leaves, which is cool in the mouth, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

"Brothers, if you are tired, rest for a while and drink water on the ground. We will have dinner on time at noon!"

Among them, two men with a slightly eccentric personality continued to applaud. It's time for the master, and I shouldn't be deducted wages because I'm tired and take a break for a while.

Harvesting wheat is like putting out a fire, even though he hired someone, Li Qingshan didn't rest, he still picked up his sickle and worked hard.

Liu Yu couldn't help but miss him, so on the pretext of going to the field to pick courgettes for lunch, he came to see him with the mung bean soup that had just dried out.

Li Qingshan was so involved in cutting the wheat that he was stunned when Liu Yu approached.

"Stupid?" Liu Yu couldn't help laughing, after seeing his flushed and sweaty face clearly, her heart moved slightly, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.

At this moment, Li Qingshan also came to his senses, seeing that he was about to bend down, he immediately stood up straight, took the handkerchief and wiped his face, smiling all over his eyes, "Didn't I tell you not to come over?" The weather was

hot , the distance from home to the field is not too short, before Li Qingshan came out of the house to fetch water, he had given thousands of warnings not to ask Liu Yu to come here.

Luckily Liu Yu thought of an excuse in advance, "I'm here to pick courgettes."

Who would want to be a "fine" Li Qingshan was unhappy when he heard this, "Hmph!"

Liu Yu was teased by him, and turned his back to block it Maybe he would look at the sight, stretched out his hand to poke Li Qingshan's waist, and asked him: "Humph?" Li Qingshan's

eyes were completely bent now, and he hurriedly pulled the bundle of wheat to the side to help Liuyu sit down and asked him : "It's not uncomfortable any more?"

Since the previous day, Liu Yu has felt a little uncomfortable when he got up early and smelled the bloody smell of his slaughtered pigs, and Li Qingshan was so anxious that he went to the county medical center to ask the old doctor.

"No." Liu Yu shook her head, and said, "Drinking ginger soup in the morning will make you feel better."

This way of drinking ginger soup was taught by the old doctor, but it only works for some people. Fortunately, Liu Yu is among this group of people, but Li Qingshan, who favors his children, insists that this is because of his obedient children.

Li Qingshan was even happier when he heard that Liuyu didn't suffer anymore, he stretched out his hand to touch Liuyu's belly and said, "That's good!" Liuyu smiled

lightly, lifted the cloth on the basket, took out the small porcelain bowl brought from home, Pour mung bean soup for Li Qingshan, "I put a lot of sugar and soaked it in cold water for a while, you can try it." "It

must be delicious!" Li Qingshan took it and gulped down several mouthfuls.

The mung bean soup that was delivered was specially filtered by willow fish. There were very few mung beans, so it could be used as tea directly. It is sweet and very fragrant. Occasionally, you can chew the fully bloomed beans, which are very soft and delicious.

While Li Qingshan was drinking mung bean soup, Liuyu turned his head and looked at the Chen family's field. He didn't see Mrs. He, so he asked Li Qingshan: "Is Mrs. He not here?" "No."

Li Qingshan took the rest After I drank all the bowls, I wondered: "I just heard that she was sent back to her natal family."

Cong Chunhua is busy selling jelly in the shop and rarely returns home, so Li Qingshan and his family got these from the village. The speed of trivial matters is slower than others.

"It seems that she beat old Chen, and old Chen couldn't take it anymore and sent her back to her natal family."

In fact, he remembered that this happened once when he was young, but at that time the three sons of the Chen family were still young, and the last In the end, old Chen was resigned and went to He's mother's house to bring He back.

But it is said that this time is different. When the old Mr. Chen gave it away, Chen Si was not at home, and the other three sons did not stop him.

Come to think of it, she was really disturbing her for a while.

After listening, Liu Yu didn't bother to ask about He Shi anymore, and after refilling a bowl of soup for Li Qingshan, he asked him: "What do you want to eat at noon?

" It is not easy to cook for so many people.

Li Qingshan said to Liu Yu: "Just do whatever you want, choose simple ones."

But after all, it is doing farm work, so tired, how can we do without some delicious food.

Liu Yu didn't listen to him, and went back to cook four dishes in total, stir-fried pork blood with garlic sprouts, stir-fried pork liver, cold jelly and courgette, and fried pork slices with green peppers for him with the meat left by Li Qingshan in the morning.

The four men really didn't expect that this time the master's family not only cooked four dishes, but there were two meat dishes in these four, and all of them tasted so good, and the work became more solid for a while.

The nine acres of wheat here grew better than the five acres of land that Liuyu shared, so they harvested here first.

Nine acres of land, five men worked for two days, and then Liu Yu and Mrs. Guan watched the nine acres of wheat drying in the threshing ground.

Li Qingshan took the other four men to cut willow and fish to share the five acres. Fortunately, the peas here are about the same maturity as the wheat, otherwise it would be troublesome to harvest them separately.

The weather is good, they have only had a little rain for more than three days during the three days of harvesting wheat, which did not delay anything.

Then Li Qingshan paid the four men the wages for cutting the wheat, and said that he would invite them to work after fertilizing.

There is nothing wrong with these four men, this time the owner is kind, the dishes are well cooked, and the money is happy.

The four men, who had worked hard for more than three days in a row, were very happy with the hot wages they just got. They were already thinking how happy their wives and children would be when they saw so much money when they returned home.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu and Li Qingshan who handed out the money couldn't help laughing.

Be happy for others from the bottom of my heart.

...

Wheat harvesting is very busy. After the wheat is received and dried in the threshing floor for two days, it will start to be crushed and threshed.

This year we have mules at home, so the job is much easier.

In the scorching summer, the mule loves to sweat a lot, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu felt sorry for it, and bought a lot of soybean meal from Brother Fang to feed it.

"Take a break."

No matter how clever the horse mule is, it needs someone to lead it around the field, and when the horse mule is resting, Li Qingshan has to turn the field with a wooden fork, which is more busy than the horse mule.

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Li Qingshan put down his wooden fork, tied up his mule, and walked under the shade of a tree where Liu Yu was staying.

Willow scooped up water for him to wash his hands and face to relieve his sweat, and then gave him the courgettes that had been washed earlier in the basket to eat.

This courgette is home-grown, and it is very crisp and refreshing. Cong Chunhua has recently used it and gluten, added tofu skin, bitter chrysanthemum, peanuts, etc. to make a cold dish for sale, and it is said that it is also selling well.

Li Qingshan broke off the tastiest half of the courgette tip and fed it to the willow fish first, then he began to eat it himself.

Seeing how his mouth is so wide open and eating so deliciously, Liu Yu couldn't help but bend his eyes, picked up his newly made wheat straw fan and fanned Li Qingshan, "This fan seems to be okay." The newly harvested wheat

brought Pick up the new stubble of wheat straw, choose some white and bright, moderate thickness and no cracks to soften, and you can weave all kinds of things.

Liuyu is still young and doesn't know much. This is learned from the old grandmothers in the village who don't have to go to the field.

"Not only is it okay?" Seeing that his husband is good everywhere, the man is very good at coaxing him, he took the straw fan and looked at it carefully for a moment and said: "I think it is similar to the one sold on the street!" "He will speak good words!

" Liu Yu snatched back the fan, patted Li Qingshan's head lightly with the fan, and began to fan him to relieve the fever.

The man who could speak well moved the table that was in the way between him and Fu Lang, moved forward by himself, picked up the softened wheat straw brought by Liuyu, and started to weave things on the willow's legs.

Liu Yu caressed his head with one hand and fanned him with the other.

After a while, he finally figured out what he made up - a chubby big-headed fish.

Disgusting is not.
