Chapter 1024: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (19)
The women who lived next door to Lao Cui's house complained angrily when they met Mrs. Cui: "Qiuhua, your eldest daughter-in-law is not as delicious as you said. She is lazy and useless. It's not the fertilizer she came up with that increased the rice production." Quite a bit. I estimate that your eldest son’s two acres of rice fields can yield at least one stone more than in previous years.”
"impossible!"
Ms. Cui has not been to the end of the village recently, and has not passed by the two acres of paddy fields. They are still growing at the same growth rate as when they were green and yellow. They are quite full, but it is not as much as one stone. It is impossible!
She waved her hands, not believing it at all: "What she said is all fallacy. Do you believe this?"
No one from Lao Cui’s family believed it.
But reality gave them a solid slap...
In the hot summer, more than 90% of the rice in the rice fields has yellowed and matured, and is ready for harvest.
Xu Yin made some calculations: With two acres of rice, an ordinary strong laborer would have to get up early and spend a whole day at night to harvest. But is she an ordinary strong laborer? She is Xu·Perpetual Machine·Yin with permanent divine power! The harvest can be completed in less than half a day, and I can go to the dry land to harvest the rapeseed in the afternoon.
When they are all taken home, they will be threshed and dried slowly, so that even if there is a heavy rain, they will not be afraid.
The top priority is to take it home!
"I will go with you."
After two months of recuperation, Cui Mengjin felt much better and wanted to go harvest rice with his wife.
He couldn't do it if he, an old man, was to lie at home while his wife went to the ground alone under the scorching sun.
“Your leg injury hasn’t fully healed yet, so you’re not allowed to go!”
Xu Yin put her hands on her hips and stared at her pretty eyes:
"It's only two acres of rice fields and one acre of dry land. I can handle it! Besides, our home is far away from the county seat. If we get injured twice due to a bump, how inconvenient would it be to go to the county seat to see an old imperial doctor? You have to be really free. If you can’t help me, please boil water for me and make a pot of herbal tea. It’s hot and I don’t want to drink hot water when I come back at noon.”
Xu Yin whittled two pieces of hard wood for him to use as crutches, trying not to put the weight on his injured leg that had not yet healed.
“I’ll put the tea bags on the table and boil a pot of water. I’ll make lunch when I get back.”
It was a hot day, and she didn’t really want to eat steaming firewood rice. When she was cooking noodles in the morning, she rolled out some more buckwheat noodles and mixed them with cold noodles for lunch.
Buckwheat is one of the local coarse grains. You will miss white rice every time you eat it. Occasionally, it is very appetizing to make hot and sour cold noodles.
With a hundred taels left over from selling ginseng, the family is now considered to have a small income.
It has been more than four months since she came here, and the system has not "dinged" her and issued additional tasks for her. She has no plans to buy land or property for the time being. The main reason is that she does not know what kind of tasks the dog system will issue.
Furthermore, few people in Dawa Village dug ginseng in the mountains. My sister-in-law, with her koi luck, dug up young ginseng. She did not want to become the focus of the whole village.
So the money on hand can be exchanged for some fine grains quietly, and the couple can hide and eat secretly, which is enough.
In addition, she is confident that her family’s two acres of paddy fields and one acres of dry land cannot compare with the hybrid rice yields of two thousand kilograms per mu in later generations, but under the same seed conditions, her family’s harvest this year will definitely not be bad.
Xu Yin went to the hut and sprayed herself with P++++ sunscreen spray that lasted for eight hours and was fully effective. She tied the cuffs and trouser legs of her long-sleeved trousers with strings, carrying a simple herbal teapot made of bamboo tubes and a sickle. Went to the fields to cut rice.
"Meng Jin's family, are you here to cut the rice alone? How is Meng Jin's leg injury?"
“Members of the Meng Jin family, go back and pick up the grain, and I’ll ask my two boys to help you.”
Along the way, every woman she met would say hello to her.
Some of the children in the family often run to collect firewood and give pig grass to Xu Yin in exchange for a breakfast that is better than their own;
Some of them bought wild boar meat that she hunted;
There are also people who want to follow her after seeing Goudan and Tiewa’s family making new-style fertilizers after tasting the benefits.
Xu Yin smiled and greeted them one by one:
“His leg is much better, but the doctor said that if the injured muscles and bones are injured, it is best to recuperate for a hundred days, so as not to be completely healed and injured again with sequelae.”
The women exchanged pleasantries with her, then went to their respective rice fields and chatted with their families:
“It’s really not the right time for Lao Cui’s family to be divided... If the family hadn’t been divided, Meng Jin’s family wouldn’t have to work so hard. They have to take care of their men while also cutting rice and harvesting **** alone.”
"No one from Lao Cui's family came to help?" "I saw Cui Er coming back this morning. He must be harvesting his own rice. After harvesting, he should come over to help his elder brother."
"If he has a conscience, he should come to help. Although he paid a few months' wages in advance to buy three feet of silk to get out of the corvee, it stands to reason that all the wages earned before the separation of the family should be given to the public school. It’s not his own.”
“Who says it’s not the case! I think Ms. Cui’s attitude is biased enough. If it were me, neither of my sons would go. If I don’t have money to buy silk, then I’d both go!”
"Cui Er has a sweet mouth, otherwise he can get a job as an accountant? Meng Jin has been honest since he was a child, and he only works dully."
"well…"
The villagers were cutting rice while gossiping about their family problems. They worked for a long time, and the sun was in the sky. They were so tired that their backs ached. They dragged their weak steps and returned to the field with bundles of the morning's harvest. They were surprised to find Meng Jin's family The rice field has been empty, leaving behind a section of rice stubble with almost the same height and smooth cut. The cut rice ears are neatly stacked on the ridge of the field.
!!”
Everyone looked at each other.
What speed is this?
Their whole family, including more than a dozen people, old and young, went out together. There were six strong laborers alone. They only harvested three acres in one morning. Meng Jin's daughter-in-law harvested two acres of rice by herself?
And the incision is too flat! Is Meng Jin's sickle so sharp?
Xu Yin: Learn about Zhang Xiaoquan’s whetstone!
“Meng Jin’s wife!”
Xu Yin was squatting by the river next to the rice field washing her hands when she was stopped by Cui Dazhuang.
“You cut all these by yourself?”
"yes!"
…”
“Dad! Come and take a look! Why do I feel that Uncle Meng Jin’s two acres of land has more rice than our three acres of land!”
"What???"
Old man Cui took a closer look and saw that it was not the case!
Xu Yin harvested rice ears from two acres of land and tied them into bundles to form a hill. However, the rice ears from their three acres of rice field were just piled up.
!!”
Next year…no! This year! This year, I asked Meng Jin’s wife to learn the unique composting method!
Unable to resist their fiery looks, Xu Yin took a bundle of rice ears in one hand and loaded it onto the wheelbarrow that Carpenter Li had hired at the village entrance a few days ago, and returned home as if she was running away.
“Meng Jin’s wife’s physical strength is so good! She has been busy all morning and she still has the strength to push such a heavy cart of rice back!”
"Dazhuang didn't mean that when Meng Jin came back from the county town for leg treatment, his wife carried him out of the carriage and into the house."
“Blessed is Meng Jin!”
“Couldn’t it be Meng Jin who was pancaked on the bed?”
“You are an old man, you dare to say this in front of children, you are not ashamed!”
“Hey hey hey…”
The wind was like a conscientious postman, carrying the conversation of Cui Dazhuang's family to Xu Yin's ears.
She staggered and almost slipped into the drainage ditch at the edge of the field.
Fortunately, the rice was harvested and the rapeseed was planted in the dry land at the foot of the mountain not far from her home. She didn't have to come here again in the past few days. Otherwise, she was really worried that when she saw Cui Dazhuang's family, she couldn't help but picture Comrade Xiaojin hugging her and tossing and turning on the bed. Picture of baking pie...
