Chapter 24 Harvest
Ever since the idea of ​​separating the family was proposed, Mrs. Zhang has not had a good impression of the eldest and the second wife. Although she didn't like lotus very much in the past, and even said that she regarded lotus as an outsider, it is different now. Lotus is much better than these unconscionable guys.So he straightened up and cursed: "Work hard, why are there so many nonsense, your father asked her to go back to the lotus flower, why do you want to rebel, go back if you want, the food will not be given to you."

Mrs. Zhang's scolding made Mrs. He afraid to make a sound. I didn't expect that the lotus flower is so embarrassing to her mother-in-law. No matter how much she scolded the lotus in the past, her mother-in-law would not respond. Some rice grains, for building a house, they have no extra money. Fortunately, this year's harvest is good, she is really afraid that Mrs. Zhang will lose money in a fit of anger.

Mrs. Zhou saw all this in her eyes, continued to work quietly, and silently calculated how much rice grains she could share. Xiaokang is also eight years old this year, and he can go to school to study.Although it will be a little harder, as long as their son is promising, it will be worth all their hard work.

When He Hua returned home, she thought that they would all come here to eat today, so they needed to cook more food. Hey, they were going to compete with those little kids again.Really depressed.

Lotus rushes to finish all the meals before they come back.Today I only fried green vegetables, pickles, and green beans.I don't know what it will be called later, but this is all arranged by Mrs. Zhang. Fortunately, she also knows that she can't do the work on an empty stomach, so she prepared a lot of buns.Although it was brown rice, at least it was dry.In short, fullness is not a problem.Work hard enough.

The people who went to work in the field came back, and He Hua hurriedly brought them water to wash their hands.The children of the two families also came.Wu Jiafan came back from school early, and was disgusted with the food she cooked.She rolled her eyes secretly, shit, it's all your fault, that narrow-minded mother of yours, okay?

Wu Xing looked at the table and found that there was only this little food, which was not enough to eat at all.After finally finishing the work, how can I not eat something good, and stared at the lotus: "I will eat this today? Are you trying to starve us to death?"

You think I think, I don’t like to eat, okay? I saw Mrs. Zhang next to me, who seemed nothing had happened, so I had to deal with it by myself: “It’s because you are all working that I made these for you to eat. Look, wow Wotou, it’s too full to eat dry rice.”

Wu Xing had no choice but to stare blankly. Originally, he had hoped to come over for a good meal. He lost his appetite when he looked at the food on the table. He is usually a lazy person. He used to be fine at home, with the pressure of his elders, so he didn't dare to go too far. Only since the separation of the family, he has been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days at work.And it cost a lot of money to build a house, and life is indeed a bit unsatisfactory.He didn't catch this meal, and sat on the table with a grim expression.

Although Mrs. He was also angry, but thinking that Mrs. Zhang gave up on protecting the lotus in the field, she didn't say anything harsh except to stare at her a few times.People in the big house don't talk nonsense, the Zhou family is shrewd and honest.Anyway, the lotus breathed a sigh of relief.

As before, one big table and one small table were separated, and He Hua walked to the small table automatically. As soon as he sat down, Wu Shan said: "He Hua, why did you sit there?"

Um, where would she sit if she doesn't sit here, He Hua looked at him suspiciously.

"Come and sit, you have been sitting with us these days, there is no reason to sit with us today, besides, you are their aunt, it is against the rules to sit with them." Wu Shan became more and more satisfied with the lotus , so the attitude towards her is much gentler, these lotus flowers have a feeling.Now that the boss of the family has spoken, lotus is of course what she wants, she doesn't want to fight for food with those little ghosts, it really casts a powerful shadow on her.

Mrs. He muttered in a low voice, but everyone could hear clearly, "This place is so small, where can one person sit?"

He Hua really thinks that this He family is petty and can't be on the big stage, and he cares about petty gains all day long.In the past, she was let in because there was no room for her to speak in this family, but now it's different, even if she argues with Mrs. He, Mrs. Zhang won't scold her anymore.So he raised a smile and said to her: "No matter how small the place is, I, the host, always have to accompany the guests."

He opened her mouth wide in surprise, but she didn't expect Lotus to retaliate. She was shocked at first and then angry, so her face darkened. She meant that she was the master of the house.Although the second room was separated, she really never thought that this family would become someone else's consciousness in the future.

Mrs. Zhou pushed Mrs. He, and then moved a little to the side, "Sit down, Lotus!"

Only then did I eat in peace.

Lotus looked at the sacks of rice, and sighed that it was not easy, and it was only by working day and night every day that these harvests were achieved.And the process is also very hard, unlike modern harvesters and threshing machines.Here, it is all cut by people, and then they are bundled together and picked home.Then beat the straw with a thick stick to knock down the rice.If you can't beat it, you have to strangle it with your hands.Sounds simple, but how much effort does it take to do it.

These days, Lotus is leading the children of the two families to pick up the fallen rice in the fields.They picked it up for several days until there was nothing left to pick it up. Of course, not only their family was picking it up, but almost every family was picking it up.

After drying the millet and packing it, this is not the end, because there is a tax to be paid, and the lotus watched helplessly as more than half of the hard-earned grain was turned over.That pain in my heart.

What's more, all the rice that was handed in was polished rice, a total of five shi, one shi was ten dou, and one dou was equivalent to 13 jin. So much was gone at once, and the rest was only four shi of polished rice and twelve shi of brown rice.He Hua really couldn't believe it. The 5-acre field got such a thing. The family was so happy, and they all said that this year's harvest was good.

The remaining four stones of polished rice are divided among four families, one stone for each family, and three stones for brown rice.

The field cannot be empty, and the next batch of crops to be planted will also begin.

When the harvest at home was over, He Hua felt that her peppers had grown well and could be picked off.She told Mrs. Zhang about the chili pepper, and Mrs. Zhang gave her a day off to pick the chili pepper when she heard that the chili pepper was edible.When Wu Jiafan heard this, he wanted to help.But because he had a class to attend, he had to give up this idea, and he was very angry with Lotus.

Lotus didn't bother to pay attention to him, and now she put her whole body and mind into the fragrance of pepper.A pair of scissors and a sack, happily harvesting Chaotian peppers.Quite a lot, a whole sack.How long will this take.I thought happily in my heart, I don’t know if the people here are used to spicy food, so let’s try it today.

Mrs. Zhang saw that she was carrying a bag of things, and thought of something good, her face blossomed into a smile, looking at the red Chaotian pepper, which was very cute. Anyway, the lotus flower said it was edible, so she stretched out her hand and wanted to take it and put it in her mouth.Fortunately, the lotus flower stopped it and said, "Don't eat it."

Shouting in surprise, the Chaotian pepper in Zhang's hand fell to the ground: "What's the matter, didn't you say you can eat it?" She was most worried about missing a dish.
