Reborn 1960 Sweet Wife

Chapter 15 Grinding Wheat

However, none of the people in Hongqi Village wanted to procrastinate, and the final result was that it was carried out in multiple places at the same time.

Let boys aged [-] or [-] drive the livestock and grind wheat with stone rollers. Men and women are divided into groups, each group has a place, and threshed with a flail.

The flail consists of a long handle and a set of parallel bamboo or wooden strips, which are used to slap grains, wheat, beans, sesame, etc., so that the grains fall, and are also called flails (from Baidu Encyclopedia).

Some children followed their parents to turn the wheat, while some elderly children stayed on the stage to turn the wheat. The whole village took action.

Song Lili didn't know what was going on, so she stayed at the stage for no reason, but fortunately, Yang Mei was there, and what's more coincident, Zhang Qinghua and Li Qinghua were also at the stage, responsible for driving the animals.

It was very leisurely at first, and there were children running behind the animals, jumping and shouting, and the cheerful voice spread far away.

When it comes time to turn the wheat, it is more laborious. They are all half-grown children or children, whose strength is not as strong as adults, and they cannot pick up too much wheat with a wooden fork.

At this time, when the animals stop, teenagers like Zhang Qinghua will help, and some people will wait.

Song Lili was the one who turned the wheat, but she didn't find it difficult, but was able to stir up a large area with ease.

But she was fast, and only Yang Mei noticed the abnormal size of the wheat she picked up, but she didn't think much about it.

The area of ​​the stage here is very large. Although Song Lili has great strength, she still felt that her arms were so heavy that she couldn't lift them up.

She also no longer stirs up a lot of wheat at one time, but follows the flow and comes bit by bit.

The speed on their side slowed down, and those who had just rested were dissatisfied. Among them was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who was fatter than the children around him and yelled at Song Lili.

"Hey, hurry up, where's the miller? Don't think about being lazy, or I'll tell the captain to kill you." As he spoke, his eyes with drooping eyelids were full of viciousness.

Song Lili was so angry that she couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You can, you can come here, you know how to be silly and play tricks, who can't?"

The boy who mentioned Song Lili just now, that is, Luo Yuejin, pointed at Song Lili with a blushing face, "You...that's your job, I'm driving cattle."

Song Lili stopped picking wheat, and just pinched her waist with both hands, and took a break, "Who knows how to drive the animals? Isn't it just following the animals? What's the problem? Even if you don't drive, the animals will go away by themselves."

"Don't make it look like you have done some technically difficult work, okay? If you are lazy, you are the one who is lazy?"

Song Lili muttered, "It's really a thief calling for a thief, and I have never seen such a shameless person. If you directly admit that you are lazy, I still admire you..."

Song Lili said she was muttering, but the voice could be heard by all the children around the stage, and some of them who were weak in concentration all snickered.

Luo Yuejin was even more pissed off. He heard laughter around him, his face was shaking, and he stared fiercely at the people around him.

The surrounding voices disappeared with Luo Yuejin's vicious words, and some timid children retreated quietly and hid behind others.

Song Lili frowned, whose child is this?How can you be so angry at such a young age?Doesn't look like a good boy!
Song Lili got angry and wanted to say something, but Zhang Qinghua blocked her, "Stop talking, give me the fork, and I'll turn over."

Saying that, he took the fork from Song Lili's hand, and turned Song Lili along her arm, as if gnashing her teeth, "That's brother Luo Juan..."

Song Lili "..." Watt?Brother Luo Juan?I'm going, I can't afford to offend him, I'd better hide away quickly, with such a vicious elder sister's father, this child probably isn't very good!

She shrank her neck in fear, gently and slowly squatted down under the cover of Zhang Qinghua, pretending to be looking at the wheat.

Luo Yuejin "..." Is it time to turn the wheat now?You think I can't see you when you squat down, don't you?
Luo Yuejin rolled up his sleeves, and was about to step over and have a good fight. He had never been bullied like this before!
"Yuejin, hurry up and help turn the wheat. I don't think the weather is very good. I'm afraid it will rain in the afternoon. Don't let the wheat get wet! Don't worry if you finish it early..." Luo Yuejin was stopped by Li Qinghua.

Luo Yuejin looked at Li Qinghua, then at Song Lili who was squatting and counting ants not far away, gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, and stared at Song Lili fiercely.

"Okay, I'll give you face..." Luo Yuejin turned around unwillingly, but anyone could see the ruthlessness in his eyes.

The one who stopped him was the son of the village party secretary Li Weiguo. Li Weiguo was someone his father Luo Weiguo could not easily offend, so he endured it today.

Luo Yuejin snatched a wooden fork from the person beside him and started to turn the wheat, as if he forked the wheat to death like Song Lili, viciously.

After Luo Yuejin stopped, Li Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Qinghua, who stood in front of Song Lili, also relaxed his tense body.

He turned his head, wanting to say something about Song Lili, but looking at the little head, he was helpless.

With a sigh, he could only pick up the fork and turn the wheat quickly, hoping that Luo Yuejin would not hold grudges, but seeing Luo Yuejin's appearance, is it possible?
Zhang Qinghua was also not sure, hey... let it be, take it one step at a time.

Song Lili hadn't calmed down yet, she stretched out her invisible hands and slapped herself hard.

Make you mean, make you mean, offend someone this time, right?It's still the person you least want to offend, let you show off, let you show off!

Then he couldn't help sighing, why did she carry it like this?Finally, with a venomous tongue, Luo Juan's younger brother was picked. Is she going to buy a lottery ticket?Definitely going to hit the jackpot.

Song Lili stood up limply, followed behind Zhang Qinghua, sighed, and prayed in her heart that Luo Yuejin would not care about it, it would be best to let her go as if she was a fart!
In this way, everyone is happy!

Zhang Qinghua has been paying attention to Song Lili behind him, seeing her like an eggplant beaten by frost, and sighing in his heart.

Forget it, let's watch her more in the future. If Luo Yuejin really makes things difficult for her, he will help her more. After all, the relationship with the Luo family is still good.

Seeing her lack of energy, Zhang Qinghua always felt depressed and uncomfortable, and always wanted to see her smiling happily.

Song Lili didn't know that Zhang Qinghua had already made plans for her, and she was still thinking in her heart, should I give in for a while?Just take it as the past?
However, if Luo Yuejin is convinced, will Luo Yuejin really pretend that nothing happened?Song Lili is not sure!

Zhang Qinghua, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, but Song Lili, who was following behind, didn't notice it and bumped into it!
"Ouch..." Song Lili staggered, almost fell, and exclaimed, clutching her forehead.

Seeing the gleam in Song Lili's eyes, Zhang Qinghua couldn't say anything. When he opened his mouth, he was filled with gentle concern.

"Does it hurt?" However, he was still expressionless, and to Song Lili's ears, he was still hard.

Song Lili said pitifully, "It hurts..." But she rubbed it vigorously, and she felt nothing, she didn't feel any pain.

But Zhang Qinghua was hit on the heart by the word pain, and felt that his heart suddenly hurt, and couldn't help frowning.

He wanted to say, "Does it really hurt? Let me see..." But he just stood there expressionless, the pain in his eyes was hidden, and only he knew it.

Song Lili was a little confused by Zhang Qinghua's eyes, and she was a little unnatural, so she quickly turned her head away and said to Zhang Qinghua, "Give me the fork, this is my task."

Only then did Zhang Qinghua realize that "it's all right", so he took a fork and buried himself in the work.

Song Lili "..." Was she rejected?

Song Lili pouted and thought, don't care, anyway, just treat it as Zhang Qinghua helping his granddaughter to work ahead of time, since they are relatives anyway.

She didn't bother anymore, she squatted on the ground and continued to count ants, and she didn't have the consciousness to help others, she was hungry now!
Song Lili couldn't help sighing again, even if she was hungry, she could only bear it. Now that the new food has not come down, and last year's food has been eaten, she can only be hungry.

It's just that I've never been so hungry before, my stomach feels like it's on fire, and if this continues, I'm afraid stomach problems will come to my door soon.

Don't say that you are a modern person. Could it be that you can't even find food like this? If you want to use your knowledge here, you can only come here secretly. It is simply unrealistic to be open and aboveboard.

The general environment determines people's way of life, and the current environment determines that Song Lili can only starve with everyone.

If it is different from everyone's sallow complexion, then the problem is big, so even if she has something to eat, she can't eat it openly.

So now that I am hungry, I can only reduce my activities as much as possible, so as to make the feeling of hunger less intense.

Song Lili is like this, and so is everyone else. They can only pray that the food will be picked up quickly, and that after paying the public food, there will be food.

In addition to looking forward to the public grain, Song Lili also thought of the small cucumbers and Chinese cabbage that she planted in her private plot some time ago.

As long as there is food, you can cook a lot of delicious food, and you can eat food that cannot be taken out openly.

Otherwise, if others say that it is shared by the people, you have to let everyone share it. Song Lili thinks she is a selfish person, and she has not yet realized that.

Thinking about it, Song Lili's mouth secreted a lot of saliva, and her stomach growled even more joyfully.

Suddenly, she was kicked, and there was a burning pain in her calf. Song Lili looked up with tears in her eyes, and saw Zhang Qinghua's figure going away.

Song Lili frowned, and rubbed the hot skin on her calf through her trousers, thinking that Zhang Qinghua had accidentally kicked her.

She looked around and found that the place where she was squatting was next to the wheat, maybe Zhang Qinghua had just pulled the animal to grind the wheat next to it, so she bumped into it.

Well, move back a bit, the distance is farther, and I probably won't be able to touch it.
