The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Zhao Yunshu and Wu on the side complained: "Mom, I'm already tanned. If this continues, even the ordinary wealthy people will look down on me, let alone looking for a scholar to raise a son."

Mom, why don't you go talk to grandma and stop asking me to work in the fields. I would rather cook at home every day. "

Seeing Zhao Yunshu's pretentious and disgusting look, Zhao Yuntong blinked hard at Zhao Yunxi.

"Who wants to work? If you don't work, what will you eat?"

Zhao Yunxi glanced at her and said, "Ignore her and just do your own thing."

On the other hand, Yang on the side thought seriously about Yun Shu's words.

After making up her mind, Yang stood up and walked towards Zhao Youliang.

Yang sat down next to Zhao Youliang and whispered: "You see, Xiaojiu has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. Why don't you talk to dad and let the kids help mom cook at home."

Looking at the distressed look in his wife's eyes, he glanced at his daughter again. Only then did I realize that the child had not only lost weight, but also gained a tan.

Zhao Youliang stood up and walked to his father, "Dad, why don't you hire day laborers to do the rest of the work in the fields? Didn't that kid Xiaojiu also say that he wants to plant another season of rice? You have to seize the time to harvest the wheat, and then put it in We have to clean up the stubble, spread fertilizer, and cultivate the land, otherwise it would be too late for our family to do it alone.”

Old Zhaotou thought of what his granddaughter had said before about planting rice and wheat, rotating wheat and rice, and raising ducks in the rice fields.

Planting methods such as planting rapeseed for one season while cultivating the land without any shortage of energy. Find out a more suitable planting plan for rice and wheat.

If it is true as the little granddaughter said, then the harvest can be doubled every year.

"When you go back later, go and ask the village if there is anyone who wants to work as a part-time worker for a few days. You will be given twenty cents a day and a meal. You will also plow the land."

"it is good."

Seeing Zhao Youliang coming back with a smile on his face, Yang knew it was done.

During dinner that day, Old Zhaotou talked about the invitation.

, Zhao Yuntong asked in a low voice: "Xiaojiu, was it you who suggested it?"

Looking at Xiao Jiu who shook his head, Zhao Yuntong stopped asking any more questions.

When Zhao Yunshu, who was at the same table, heard the news, the fatigue of the past few days turned into joy.

Finally, she no longer has to go to the fields and can take good care of her skin.

The children didn't have to go to the fields the next day, and Zhao Yunxi slept until three o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Yunxi couldn't stand the hard work for several days. If it weren't for the blessing of the spring water, she would have collapsed from exhaustion.

When Zhao Yunxi got dressed and walked into the main room, Zhao Yuntong and others were already having breakfast when they saw her walk in.

Zhao Yuntong hurriedly waved to her, still chewing the steamed buns in his mouth and saying greetings vaguely.

"Xiaojiu, come on, today's steamed buns are so delicious."

Zhao Yunxi walked to the table, reached out and picked up the steamed bun and took a bite.

Sure enough, the wheat grown in space is different, and with good craftsmanship, the steamed buns are sweeter and softer.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her little granddaughter's dirty look and shook her head helplessly.

"Look at the appearance of each of your girls' homes. They eat without even washing their hands, and they don't worry about stomach upset."

Zhao Yunxi smiled and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Grandma, don't worry! You won't get sick if you don't eat it cleanly."

"You."

Zhao Yuntong said cheerfully when he saw the two of them: "Grandma, Xiaojiu is the most crooked person.

In the past, she told us not to drink raw water, otherwise we would be prone to diarrhea.

As a result, now she is saying that she is not sick after eating unclean food, leaving her alone to say all the good and bad things. "

As soon as Zhao Yuntong's words came out, the grandparents and grandchildren were all happy.

Since the Zhao family hired day laborers, the wheat harvest speed has increased several times.

In less than two days, all the wheat in the field was recovered.

On this day, villagers were sifting wheat in the square.

Watching the Zhao family carry something about six feet high and with a strange shape. On the upper left is a large funnel, and on the right is a circle made of wooden boards.

There is an empty circle in the middle, fixed by several pieces of wood passing through the middle. There is a wooden handle on top of the wood and a square outlet to the left and right below.

Everyone is confused, what is this thing for?

Seeing everyone looking at the farm tools in front of them curiously, the three Zhao Youliang brothers were very proud.

Zhao Youde really didn't understand the structure of this thing, so he said: "Okay, don't be pretentious. Quickly tell everyone the use of this thing."

The three brothers didn't say anything. They poured a basket of wheat into the funnel and turned the handle while turning on the switch.

The surrounding villagers saw that the wheat and wheat straw that had just been poured in were separated.

What comes out of the outlet directly below is clean and plump wheat, and what comes out of the outlet on the left is fine stalks and wheat straw.

There is also a small exit that comes out directly.

The person standing on the left was hit by the blown straw, and everyone laughed happily when they saw it.

After everyone laughed, they saw a basket of wheat separated quickly.

The villagers pushed Zhao Youliang away from the windmill and grabbed the clean and full wheat in the basket with their hands.

Many people clapped their hands excitedly, and some villagers rushed to try it after explaining it one by one.

Zhao Youliang immediately stepped back and looked happily at the people who were working hard for his family.

Looking at the three Zhao brothers with cunning looks on their faces, Zhao Youde smiled helplessly.

The villagers scrambled to try it out, and those who had already tried it were pushed out. Someone with a smart mind ran directly to the three brothers.

"Brothers Zhao, where did you buy such a good thing?"

Zhao Youli frowned and said, "What did you buy? Our three brothers made it."

The villagers shouted in surprise.

"What! You did this!"

The faces of the three brothers were full of pride and pride.

"Brother Zhao, your brain is really good. You can think of all these good things. It will be much more convenient after you have this Valley Windmill."

"Yeah yeah!"

The faces of the villagers were full of joy. Then he looked at the three brothers with some embarrassment.

"Is it expensive? If not, I can make one at home."

Zhao Youliang said: "The technology of this thing is still very complicated.

I really don’t know the price, so I can only ask the carpenter. "

Everyone looked disappointed when they heard this.

In fact, I knew in my heart that this thing was definitely not cheap, but I still wanted to ask without giving up.

Seeing the disappointment on everyone's faces, Zhao Yunxi stepped forward and said: "Uncles, don't worry, our Zhao family will send two sets to the village.

People in need can use it. The only thing is that it must be kept well. If it breaks, it will be gone. "

Hearing what the daughter of the Zhao family said, the surrounding villagers were excited and cheered.

"Zhao Jiarenyi"

"This family of scholars is just different. No wonder the county magistrate thinks highly of them."

"More than that, I heard that both the eldest son and the second son of his family have passed the government examination. After passing the college examination, the Zhao family will have a scholar."

"So I am a blessed family, and my life and actions are different."

Listening to the countless thank yous in the square, the Zhao family felt a sense of excitement in their hearts.

Sending the grain windmill was a unanimous decision of the Zhao family. After all, in this era, family reputation can do a lot of things.
