Yan Funing smiled and asked, "Brother Li, how do you use the rake you're carrying?"
Coachman Li put down the rake from his shoulder.
"You're a girl, so don't use it." He walked up to Fu Ciyi and gave him one, "Young man, take it."
No matter how depressed Fu Ciyi felt, he had no choice but to reach out and take it.
Li the coachman gave Fu Beimo another handful: "Take one too."
"You're all from the county, so it's normal that you don't know how to use a rake."
Coachman Li grabbed the wooden handle of the rake and began to process the winter wheat on the ground neatly.
Half the winter wheat was pulled up by the roots, and the cut half was also picked up. When the rake had enough, it was thrown to the edge of the field.
Seeing this, Fu Ciyi and Fu Beimo followed suit.
Fu Ciyi is very skilled. He can set up quickly and throw accurately.
Fu Beimo worked quite quickly, but when he tried to throw the raked crops to the edge of the field, they all fell to the ground.
He had to reorganize it.
Yan Funing stood on the edge of the field and called out, "Bei Mo, don't throw it, just walk over and pile it up."
Fu Beimo nodded: "I understand, sister-in-law."
Fu Nanyao patted the mud on her skirt in disgust and limped to the edge of the field.
Mother Li smiled and said, "This way we can work faster. We can finish three mu of land in no time."
Yan Funing said, "Auntie, let me help you move the radishes and cabbages to the car."
"Not yet." Mother Li waved her hand. "Pick up the winter wheat and push it to the riverside where the hay is stored using the ox cart. Then come back and load up the radishes and cabbages."
In less than half an hour, all the destroyed winter wheat was piled up in a corner of the field.
They loaded the grains one rak at a time onto the ox cart and quickly transported it to the river.
When coachman Li came back with an empty cart, several people started to carry radishes and cabbages.
The weather is cold, so the radishes and cabbages are basically not rotten, they are just stepped on or broken, and they don’t look very good, but they are fine to feed pigs.
Seeing the mother and son of the Li family carrying a cart full of radishes and cabbages back home, the villagers couldn't help but feel jealous.
It is difficult to collect grass for pigs at this time of year. So many radishes and cabbages can feed the pigs for several days.
If they had not just scolded the fool and daughter-in-law of the Fu family that morning, they would definitely have dared to ask them for it like Li's mother did.
Now they can only watch the Li family mother and son go back happily, and they can only envy them.
After taking care of the crops, Fu Ciyi and the other three returned home.
Wan Niang was surprised to hear that they had returned early, "It's all been dealt with, or is it still impossible to deal with it?"
"It's been taken care of." Yan Funing smiled. "The coachman Li's family raises pigs, so the destroyed radishes and cabbages were given to them. They have a rake, so they took care of it very quickly..."
Wan Niang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This is called mutual benefit."
Fu Nanyao patted the hem of her skirt and said, "It's so dirty, I have to wash it again. If I had known the Li family had tools, I wouldn't have gone to the fields."
"How could you have known this earlier?" Wan Niang asked, then turned to her two sons and Yan Funing and said with a smile, "Go wash up."
Yan Funing nodded: "I'll go boil some water."
His clothes weren't actually that dirty, just a few mud spots on them, but his shoes were stained.
But after working in the fields, it's time to wash yourself.
There are so many people at home who need to take a bath, so we need to boil water in two pots.
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you light the fire." Fu Beimo ran to the kitchen.
Using firewood to make a fire is just a little troublesome when it comes to lighting it at the beginning, but as it continues to burn, you just need to watch the fire.
Yan Funing washed her hands and scooped water into the pot.
Fu Beimo started the fire directly.
"Bei Mo, the water in both soup pots is hot, do you want to wash first?"
"Let brother wash first, I will light the fire."
"Okay." Yan Funing came out of the kitchen and found someone who was taking off his outer robe. "You can wash first. There is hot water in the kitchen. Both soup pots are full and the water is still hot."
Fu Ciyi thought about it and decided that if he washed it in time, he could copy the book, so he said, "Okay."
"I'll go get you some water."
Yan Funing returned to her room, brought a wooden basin, and went to the kitchen to scoop two soup pots of hot water.
After the water was scooped, Fu Ciyi came to take it away.
Yan Funing scooped cold water into the empty soup pot.
Fu Ciyi washed quickly. After he dressed and tidied himself, another cup of tea had passed and the two large pots of water had boiled.
Fu Nanyao and Yan Funing scooped up hot water, added cold water, and went back to their rooms.
Fu Beimo went to the cubicle in the toilet.
It was fine for Fu Nanyao to wash in her own room, and it was also fine for Fu Beimo to wash in the cubicle in the toilet.
The problem was that when Yan Funing brought water into the room, someone was copying a book.
He was so absorbed in his writing that he didn't notice her enter the room.
Yan Funing put the basin behind the curtain. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, she coughed lightly and said, "Um, could you please go out for a while?"
Although he couldn't see because of the curtains, the doors and windows were open...
The most important thing is that he is still in the house.
She doesn't dare to wash!
So he pinched the buttons on his collar and didn't dare to unbutton them.
Fu Ciyi then realized that the woman also needed to take a bath.
He stood up quickly and said, "I'll help you close the window."
He reached out to close the window, not daring to turn around to look. He hurried out of the room and closed the door.
In the yard, the clothes that had been hung out to dry fluttered slightly in the wind.
He saw his own underpants at a glance.
Several pairs of shorts were neatly hung together to dry. They were all washed by a woman for him.
Fu Ciyi clenched his hands into fists and pounded his forehead in frustration.
--
Not long after, Fu Beimo came out after washing and changed his clothes.
He threw the dirty clothes he had taken off at the door of the west wing.
Fu Ciyi saw this and asked, "Why did you throw this away?"
Fu Beimo blinked and said, "I asked my sister-in-law to help me wash clothes."
Fu Ciyi said expressionlessly, "Let Nan Yao wash it."
Fu Beimo was very dissatisfied, his brows knitted tightly together: "Sister-in-law washed it clean, I want her to help me wash my clothes."
"You don't listen to what I say, huh?"
"Woo woo woo, listen."
Fu Beimo reluctantly bent down to pick up his clothes and threw them at the door of the east wing.
At this time, Fu Nanyao had also finished washing and dressing and came out.
She saw the clothes on the ground and snorted, "Bei Mo, if you don't want me to wash them, I'd be happy."
She was so lazy to help him wash that he actually despised her.
He worked so hard in the crops just now that his clothes were covered in mud and needed to be rubbed clean.
Fu Beimo picked up the clothes again and said to his brother with a smile: "Brother, Yuanlian refuses to wash her face for me. Can I ask my sister-in-law to wash her face?"
"What did you call me, you stinky Beimo?" Fu Nanyao was furious. "You have no respect for your age! I'm only a quarter of an hour older than you!"
"You are wrong to call her that." Fu Ciyi said to Fu Beimo, then glanced at Fu Nanyao calmly, "As an older sister, it is only natural for you to wash your younger brother's clothes."
Fu Nanyao had nowhere to vent her anger. Seeing that the door to the west wing was tightly closed, she angrily said, "Why is she taking so long to shower? Is she really that delicate? She's taking so long to shower. Who is she trying to seduce?"
After she finished speaking, she saw her brother's cold eyes and immediately covered her mouth.
