Chapter 178

In the early morning of the next day, every household in Lijia Village was ready, and under the order of the captain, the autumn harvest officially started.

The old lady took her son and deliberately chose a remote place, so that those old ladies with long tongues who have nothing to do every day keep asking questions, which is annoying.

As a result, before she started working here, Li Ende brought the whole family over.

"Brothers and sisters, it's really early for you." Chen Fengzhen walked closer and put the basket she brought on the ground, which contained the cool boiled tea prepared in the morning, "Why don't you wait for us for a while, let's do it together. "

"Sister-in-law, no need." The old lady had just walked towards her, and when she saw her eldest brother's family coming, she stopped what she was doing and turned to talk, "We are the only ones in my family, and we can't eat much. Earning some work points is enough for rations." That's fine, you have a lot of family members, so don't delay you any longer because of us."

Chen Fengzhen glanced at her reproachfully, "It's not as evil as you said, we just work in one place, and we have a caretaker. Besides, there are several young men in our family, so what's the point of doing more work?"

"Uncle, I'll help you with the work." Because Li Zhaohe and his sister-in-law were classmates, they usually ate delicious food from his uncle's house, so when it was time to contribute, he bravely jumped out.

"I'll help you too." Li Fangping shouted after her brother.

"Calm down, I don't know how old I am, and I still want to be brave." Wang Danfeng snorted and brushed her son's hair, "It would be great if you could help your dad carry more corn sticks."

After she finished talking about her naughty son, she turned her head and smiled and shouted to her aunt and mother-in-law: "Auntie, see if you've caught me, I'll help you with your work."

The old lady also laughed, "No, you and I can't afford it."

The two families chatted and laughed a few words, and then hurriedly started working.

The autumn harvest in Lijia Village still uses the old method before. The members work according to the ridges, and a small flag is planted on the head of each ridge. , A small flag counts as two centimeters.

The old lady and Chen Fengzhen's two sisters-in-law chose two adjacent ridges, and they happened to be chatting while earning work points, without delaying anything.

But what can resonate with the two families now is the issue of Li Mobao's work.

"Don't worry, my little treasure's job is about the same, I guess. My little treasure has also been a soldier, which is different from ordinary people. If the textile factory recruits workers, he will definitely want to be a soldier. " Chen Fengzhen broke off a corn tassel, and threw it into the basket next to her.

"Well, I think so too, I'm not worried. Xiaobao has a letter of introduction from someone's army, and those people can't do without my little treasure for the sake of the army." The old lady didn't know if she was comforting herself. I still comfort my sister-in-law, anyway, what I said is very affirmative.

"Yes, yes, that's the reason. But we can't be careless. I heard what Xiaobao said. There are quite a few people who came back from the army this time. Don't let others play tricks. This morning I I also told your elder brother to go to the county to have a look at the two of them tomorrow, and there is no harm in running a little bit."

The old lady said nothing, which made sense.But now it's just in time for the autumn harvest. She can close the door and let her son go to the county every day without earning work points, but her elder brother can't.

Although Li Ende is old, he is still the main laborer in the family. If he misses a day, he will lose fifteen or sixteen work points.

"Don't go these few days. The autumn harvest is not just about our team. The autumn harvest in these ten miles and eight townships is almost two days. We work at home to earn work points, and others must do the same." Those families are from the city. The soldiers, even if they run diligently, they can't catch them.

"Well, you're right. Let them go to the county more after the autumn harvest." To be honest, Chen Fengzhen also felt sorry for the work points, so she was relieved to hear her sister-in-law say that.

"Uncle, why didn't my sister-in-law come?" Li Fangping followed her brother for a while, and after wandering around for a few times, she realized why her sister-in-law wasn't here, and hurried over to ask the old lady.

"I'll leave your sister-in-law to do some work at home, and your sister-in-law will come over in a while." In fact, Yuansi didn't get up, and the old lady was afraid that her daughter's reputation would be bad, so she covered it up a bit.

To say that the old lady really loves her daughter, when she got up early this morning, seeing her sleeping soundly on the quilt, she couldn't bear to wake her up.After all, the school is on autumn harvest vacation, so I don't have to get up and go to school in the morning, so I can let my daughter relax for two days.

No, she and Xiaobao were the only ones who came to work in the morning.

"Oh!" Li Fangping nodded sensibly, knowing that the sister-in-law didn't go to play by herself, so she didn't miss the sister-in-law, and turned around to follow the brother.

Interrupted by her little granddaughter, Chen Fengzhen noticed something.

"Siblings, why didn't your boss come?" Chen Fengzhen asked curiously.

Ordinarily, Li Yuanyi was defecting to her natal family. In a time like this, anyone with a conscience would work with the old lady. After all, she is younger than the old lady, so she can help the old lady to some extent.

"She said yesterday that she would work with me. I don't want to take advantage of their wives. It's better to do their own things." Why don't the old lady hold grudges? When Wang Ya said she took advantage of their wives , she still remembers it now.

The old lady thought of that annoying little brat, and kicked down the corn stalks that had just finished breaking off the tassels.

"Uncle, you and my grandma just need to break the corn. We will kick the corn sticks for you in the back." Li Zhaohe suddenly appeared from behind.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death, you little bastard." Chen Fengzhen was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and she patted her chest tightly to calm her beating heart.

"Hey, grandma, why are you so timid? I didn't even shout." Li Zhaohe was in a hurry and didn't take what grandma said seriously. There was a corn stalk standing in front of his grandma, and he just kicked it up. The corn stalk was kicked down.

The two centimeters per ridge is not so easy to earn. Regardless of the length of each ridge, it is not enough to break off the ears of rice when harvesting. It takes two days to pull out the dried corn stalks in the field. .Now it’s just that I haven’t finished breaking a corn stalk, so I kick the corn stalk with my feet to mark it.

"You skinned again, you brat. If you don't work hard again, your father will fix you up when you get home." Wang Danfeng's voice came from the front.

She was faster than the two old ladies' hands and feet, and she had already reached the front.

"Mom, you've wronged me too much. I'm helping, okay? Just look at the sweat on my head and you'll know how much work I've done?" Li Zhaohe was not convinced.

"That's not necessarily the case. You can sweat so much even if you just skip around on the ground for a while without doing any work." Yuan Si, who had just walked over, heard this and unceremoniously exposed him.

"Ah, sister-in-law, you are here. I just want to go home and help you with work."
