Chapter 301

The old Zhou family collected the wheat very fast, but in five days, the old Zhou family collected all the wheat.

Fortunately, the old Zhou family has two yards this year. The ground is flat and neat. The wheat ears picked back are spread in the yard to dry.

Two days in such a big sun is enough. In addition, it can always be dried for a small half of a day in the field.

Zhou Dalang and others continued to go down to the ground to cut wheat, while he and Fang stayed at home and beat wheat with flail. As soon as the stick was thrown, the flail turned half a circle in mid air and fell on the ears of wheat, and wheat grains fell on the ground.

Qian took the rest of the children and sat on the low stool with a thick and thin stick. He photographed it again bit by bit.

When Zhou Dalang came back from the field, they didn't need the help of a group of young, sick and pregnant children at home. They tied their sleeves and picked up a handful of ears of wheat that had been beaten twice.

Rubbing wheat is very hard. It's not only tired, but also join hands. This kind of work has always been done by men in Lao Zhou's family.

Fang Shi just entered the door and was not used to it, because in her memory, women have always done more of this kind of work.

Like her family.

In addition to cutting and picking wheat, her father and brother also kill sheep, so she and her mother-in-law have always done such things as cutting wheat, carrying water, cooking and beating wheat.

Of course, dad and big brother will help when they are empty, but there are not many such things in her memory.

She didn't quite understand why the old Zhou family had to wait for the men to rub it in the dark when they came back.

However, he Shi, who has been married to the old Zhou family for many years, is used to it. Seeing Fang Shi's Distressed face, she also pulled her and comforted her, "it's all right. Men are rough and fleshy, and old four fights are all right. Don't worry about him."

Xiao Qian has just returned from the field. We have already eaten late food, but we haven't washed yet.

She went directly into the kitchen to boil water. When it was hot, she called Da Ya, "call your sister-in-law and brothers and sisters to take a bath. Go to bed after washing. We'll cut beans tomorrow. You don't have to."

Daya is happy.

Xiao Qian continued, "I'll wash my clothes early tomorrow. When I come back, I'll peel some vegetables and leaves at Xiaowan and feed them to the chickens. If there are insects, remember to catch them."

Daya answered and happily went to fetch water and take a bath.

When the children are washed, the women are washed, and then the men are washed.

This is also a custom different from other families.

Fang didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now this rule is very important when farming is busy.

Because everyone is very tired and comes back late, taking a bath earlier can go to bed earlier.

Fang certainly wouldn't think that this rule was set by his father-in-law, so it can only be set by his mother-in-law.

So when the men were away, Fang couldn't help whispering with his sister-in-law and aunt, "mother-in-law is really powerful. The rules of the family are so clear."

Feng and he nodded deeply.

Little Qian burst out laughing and was about to say something. When he saw Zhou Xi on one side, he stopped talking again.

Zhou Xi only said, "this rule is not made by mother."

Fang's puzzled wink, "who decided that?"

Zhou Xi thought about it and said with a smile, "no one has to make rules, but they become rules when they are used to it."

Man Bao rushed in from the outside and shouted, "sister-in-law, Dad won't ask me to catch birds."

Little Qian turned around, clicked her forehead, put the washed dishes and chopsticks away and said, "just don't give them. How much wheat have you wasted these days?"

"Obviously not much," man Bao said. "I use it repeatedly."

"That's one, one. Dad was busy collecting wheat before. No matter you, now that the wheat is finished, you can take the wheat to feed the birds. Don't feel bad for Dad?"

"Then you eat birds, too. You all say it's delicious."

"It's not so delicious," said little Qian. "Although the meat is delicious, the flour is better and longer, don't you think? And don't you go to school? You have to read and do your homework every day. Where do you have time to catch birds? "

"Time, just squeeze."

"If only you thought so when you were reading."

Man Bao said seriously, "I think so when I read."

However, little Qian still didn't let go and didn't want to convince his father for her. Man Bao sighed sadly.

Although she is young, she actually knows how to pick up soft persimmons, so she dares to talk to Lao Zhou tou and pester Xiao Qian to intercede, but she dares not to go to her mother.

Man Bao sighed. The next day, he hung his head to find Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang and said, "we can't catch birds anymore?"

Bai Erlang, who had been playing with them for three days, exclaimed, "why?"

The sound was so loud that the whole school looked at him.

Bai Erlang immediately lowered his voice and asked, "why?"

"Because my father won't bring me wheat," man Bao said, "without wheat, you can't bait birds."

Bai Shanbao pointed to Bai Erlang, "his family has."

Bai Erlang was just about to blurt out "I have it at home", but when he saw Bai Shanbao say it first, he was unconvinced and shouted, "don't you have it at home?"

"I don't have any," Bai Shanbao said. "I only have rice and wheat are far away."

His family's property is not here. Master Bai allocated several mu of land nearby to his family and asked his family to grow rice and other things, such as vegetables, melons and fruits.

Anyway, there is no shortage of food in their family. Even if they don't send it in, they can buy it with master Bai. It's very convenient.

Bai Erlang remembered that Bai Shanbao's field was not here. Even rice was only more than one mu, growing for fun.

So Bai Erlang became proud again, raised his neck and said, "don't worry, it's just wheat. There are more wheat in my family."

His family has a lot of land in Qili Village, Dali Village, baimaguan town and near the county seat. Wheat is the most indispensable.

So at school in the afternoon, Bai Erlang ran away. In less than two quarters of an hour, he came back with a servant.

The servant carried a bundle of wheat on his shoulder, and man Bao and Bai Shanbao stared at him dumbfounded.

Man Bao also rubbed his eyes. After making sure he didn't have dazzle, he looked down at his homework. He turned his head and said to Bai Shanbao, "we'd better finish our homework first and then go to play."

In order to save time, they did not go to Bai's house to do their homework, nor did they go back to Zhou's house to do their homework. Instead, they sat in class and wrote.

Bai Shanbao also took back his eyes, swallowed the word "fool", nodded and continued to lower his head to do his homework.

Daji, who was outside the classroom, lowered his head and shook his shoulders. After half a ring, he looked up seriously, but his eyes were a little wet.

Bai Erlang had rushed into the classroom and said, "the wheat is coming. Let's go."

Bai Shanbao said, "what about the fishing net and stick? Didn't you put them in your concierge yesterday?"

"Yes," Bai Erlang remembered, asked the servant to put down the wheat, turned and ran, "wait a minute, I'll get it now."

Bai Shanbao and man Bao looked at each other and continued to bow their heads and do their homework slowly.
