Cross the farmhouse naughty chick

Chapter 4 The harvest is joyful (1)
Although Lan Jia is only five years old now, she is already 25 years old in modern times, and her mind is mature.

Lancao is only 11 years old, and his elder brother is only [-] years old. He has already helped the family with farm work. He is really very capable. If a child of this age in modern times only studies and doesn’t care about other things at all, I will definitely use modern knowledge to change the family life. Living conditions, at least let the family have enough to eat.

I looked back at my father, mother, elder sister, and elder brother, and felt that the wheat in this field had been harvested in just a short while. You are so amazing, you really deserve to be my family, and I am proud of you.

He went to sit under the tree, stretched his waist, and leaned against the big tree. After a while, he saw his father, mother, eldest sister, and elder brother walking over.Seeing the sweat on their faces, their faces were also red from the sun, and their faces were unspeakably tired, but they could still see the joy of a good harvest.

Lan Tao saw Lan Jia dug a basket full of wild vegetables, and said, "Erya is really capable of digging up so many wild vegetables today. I will eat the wild vegetables in cold salad." He rubbed my hair with his hands while talking.

Lan Jia pouted and said to the elder brother: "Brother, don't do this, your hair will be messed up."

Lan Wu frowned and said: "Stop teasing my little sister, come over to drink water and rest for a while."

Lan Dazhi raised his eyebrows: "Lan Tao and Lan Jia are not very different in age, so they like to make fun of Erya. In fact, there are fun and delicious food. The first thing that comes to mind is whether Erya likes it or not, and the last thing I think about is Dad. , Mother, eldest sister, I am ashamed that we have treated you so well, you are really a white-eyed wolf." Lan Dazhi laughed loudly as he spoke.

The eldest brother touched his head in embarrassment and smiled.

The mother glared at the father. "Lancao's father, don't say that about the child. Isn't it good for brothers and sisters to care about each other?"

Tai Lan Dazhi wrapped his hands around his head. "Mother Lancao, that's not the case, it's really a joke." She smiled naively.

The eldest sister Lancao poured a bowl of water from the crock and handed it to Mother: "Mother, drink water." Mother picked up the bowl and gulped down the water in one breath.

Pour another bowl to Dazhi, Lan Dazhi: "Dad, drink water." After drinking it in one gulp, he passed the bowl to the elder sister Lancao. Daddy was like drinking a bowl of fine wine, closing his eyes and enjoying it happily.I feel better after drinking water.

Pour a bowl for elder brother Lantao, elder brother took the bowl and saw Erya looking at him, thinking that after being outside for such a long time, Erya must be thirsty and want to drink water. "Erya, come here, you drink water first, wait for the elder brother to drink." I was not polite, opened my mouth and started to drink, the bowl was too big, I couldn't hold it, the elder brother held it for me and fed me water, and drank half a bowl Water, I don’t feel dry mouth anymore, I feel comfortable even in the sun, I’m so happy, my eldest brother Lan Tao is a boy, so he cares about others so much, I can only say that my father and mother’s family education is very good, no one usually says It's all a habit.

The eldest sister Lancao drinks water last. The eldest sister drinks water for her parents first, which is filial piety, and then drinks water for her younger siblings. It should be so natural to care for her younger siblings since she was a child. There is no falsehood, it is the sincerity of the elder sister Lancao.

The eldest brother Lan Tao is the only child in the family, and his parents must love him a lot, but he still takes the initiative to care about others, which is really great.

After resting for a while, Niang said, "Big Ya and Er Ya went home together, prepared lunch and sent them to the field. We will speed up the harvest and bring the grain home as soon as possible, so I can feel relieved."

The eldest sister, Lancao, was walking with wild vegetables and asked, "Is Erya tired today?"

Lan Jia nodded. "It's the elder sister who is tired, and it's hard work for you to harvest the wheat on your stomach."

The eldest sister Lancao said: "Father and mother are the ones who work hard, and the eldest brother is only eight years old and works like adults. But there is no way."

Lan Jia looked at her elder sister Lancao. "Mother, why don't they go home and rest now, and go out when the sun is low. Now the sun is high, and the sun is too hot for people to bear."

Seeing Lan Jia's incomprehension, he said helplessly, "Erya has forgotten a lot of things. Everyone is so busy during the busy farming season, no matter the adults or my children and the elderly, they will help the family with what they can. Take the grain from the field home and put it in the warehouse as soon as possible.”

Lan Jia and Lancao quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the gate with a key and entered, scooped up half a wooden basin of water and put it there.

The eldest sister, Lancao, was talking about removing wild vegetables and washing vegetables, and her movements were extremely fast, as if she had endless energy all over her body. She is really powerful at such a young age.

The elder sister said: "Erya, go and light the fire, we need to cook soon."

Lan Jia said: "Okay." Yesterday, I saw the elder sister's bluegrass, and she hit it with a flint, and quickly ignited the dry grass. I tried my best to hit the flint, but it didn't work. I am a modern person, what will happen in ancient times, and everything will start again. .

The eldest sister, Lancao, saw that Lan Jia could not hit the fire, so she came over to me and said, "You can't hit the flint with too much force. It's the same as hitting the flint and then ignite the fire. Erya, try it." Erya just like what the elder sister said. Lighting the fire, I put dry grass in the stove, and then a lot of dry twigs.

The elder sister Lancao said: "That's not the case, just put some less, wait for the small branches to burn, and then enlarge a little bit of wood to go in, not too much, just add a little more when it's almost burning." explain.

The eldest sister Lancao then added water and rice to the pot, and then cut wild vegetables and bacon. She was orderly and not flustered, and she said as she did it: "In this season, the wheat is harvested first, and the rice seedlings will be transplanted soon. No matter how busy you are, some people have to harvest the wheat at night under the moonlight in order to get the wheat home quickly, so that they can go to the drying yard to dry the wheat and then dry it. Some people harvest the wheat It's over, there is no place to pick up the wheat in the drying yard, it's very troublesome, and I have to ask people everywhere if the wheat has been dried, some people dry it, and immediately make room for it, some people ignore others and tidy up slowly, and because of this, they fight , there are many troubles, and it may rain. I am most afraid that it will rain for a few days. The season of planting rice seedlings may be missed, and the harvest of the next season may be reduced. It may cause everyone to work hard for half a year, and the whole family will still be hungry. abdomen."

"Really?" Lan Jia was a little surprised.

"Of course! In order to survive, some people have no choice but to buy their maids to be servants of rich people, so no matter how lazy they are, they will help the family. And farming is taxed, regardless of whether everyone's harvest is good or not. , the tax will not be paid less at all. The tax collector also depends on whether the wheat is dry or not. He bites it open with his teeth, reaches in and touches it with his hand, and he will know that once someone dried it, he had better pay it himself. In the town, someone added stones, maybe two catties, and asked them to pay an extra one hundred catties, and then no one dared to adulterate. You see, some people usually quarrel over small things, but now they have no energy because they are too tired. It has been clean for a while." Lancao continued.

The eldest sister, Lancao, cooked the rice very quickly. She put the rice in a big crock pot, and the vegetables in a smaller crock pot, and the bowl and chopsticks in a small vegetable basket. The elder sister Lancao was holding it in her right hand. With a crock pot of rice and a crock pot of vegetables in his left hand, Lan Jia carried five bowls and five pairs of chopsticks in a basket, and walked to the field. Halfway there, Lan Jia and Lan Cao rested for a while, and then continued to move forward. It will be here soon.
