Before going out to hire someone, Widow Liu ran to Ye Juaner's field to take a look unwillingly.
Except for Ye Juaner and her husband, all four brothers of the Ye family were present.
The four brothers of the Ye family are all young and strong laborers in their prime, and they are all tall and strong.
When we were outside the Great Wall, everyone did a lot of work in the fields.
At this time, the four people waved their sickles together to harvest the crops at a very fast speed.
Even the children of the two families were not idle. Led by Ye Xianglei and Ye Changrui, they followed the adults and picked up fallen ears of corn or peanuts.
Widow Liu was so angry that her eyes were about to turn red. She stared at the four brothers of the Ye family and cursed them in her heart. Old Mrs. Ye was so ill, and they actually had the leisure to help Ye Juan'er's family with the autumn harvest.
In just a short while, a piece of land had been harvested.
Widow Liu gathered her thoughts quickly upon seeing this, knowing that she could not delay any longer and had to quickly hire someone to help with the autumn harvest.
Looking at the four brothers of the old Ye family working hard in Ye Juaner's fields, she thought to herself that if she spent all her money, she could just hire six people to come back and harvest the crops, and she would soon be able to surpass them.
The people working in the fields had no idea that Widow Liu was even comparable to this.
Ye Juan'er peeled peanuts for a while, then straightened up to take a breath. Seeing that the four Ye brothers had already walked a long way away, she couldn't help but say, "Take it easy, there's no need to be so anxious.
"My crops have grown several days longer than others.
"These past few days, everyone in the village has been asking me if you're the one coming to help. They're so envious!"
Ye Laodao said: "It seems that not all families in the village are busy harvesting. When I came here this morning, I saw a large area of land in the west that no one was harvesting!"
Ye Juan'er looked in the direction of his finger and immediately said, "That's your family's land, now it's cultivated by Widow Liu's family.
"There's no need to worry about her family. Every year Dafeng brings people to help with the autumn harvest."
"No wonder I'm so anxious!" Boss Ye nodded and found that he had just stopped to say a few words and was already far behind his three younger brothers.
He quickly continued to swing his sickle and chase after him.
Seeing how hard the four brothers were working, Ye Juaner simply said to Liu Quan, "You work here first. I'll go home and get some water and food."
Liu Quan nodded and said, "Give them some sweet soup. Don't be reluctant to add sugar."
"Of course I wouldn't put sugar in it for you, but how could I be reluctant to put sugar in it for my four nephews?"
Ye Juan'er wiped the sweat off her face with the cloth around her neck as she spoke. She was just about to go home to make some more sugar water when she saw Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye San walking towards her along the ridge of the field, carrying baskets.
"Auntie, are you tired?" Mrs. Ye greeted Ye Juan'er when she saw her. She then took out a clay pot from the basket she was carrying and handed it to her, saying, "Hurry and drink some water!"
Ye Juaner took it and took a sip, and found that it was not only refreshing but also sweet. It must have sugar in it.
"The second brother's wife is still busy making clothes at home. We have nothing to do after cleaning the kitchen, so we came to take a look." Mrs. Ye said as she continued to walk forward and came to the four brothers and gave them the syrup.
Although the weather has been getting cooler recently, I still sweat profusely when I start working.
After taking a few sips of the cool sugar water, the four brothers immediately became strong again like seedlings that have drunk enough water.
Qingtian saw Mrs. Ye coming from afar and immediately ran over with her small basket.
Ye Xianglei and Ye Changrui's attention was focused on her. Seeing this, they said in unison: "Qingtian, slow down. Don't trip!"
The fields that had just been harvested were littered with leftover stubble, and if you fell, you could easily get your face or eyes pricked.
Ye Xianglei simply took two steps forward, picked up Qingtian, and put her on the edge of the field with a few quick steps.
"Walk slowly and don't run around in the fields." After giving these instructions, Ye Xianglei was still worried and followed Qingtian all the way until she threw herself into Mrs. Ye's arms.
"Mom, look how many wheat ears I picked up!" Qingtian held up his small basket high and presented it to Mrs. Ye.
She said it was a lot, but in fact there were only seven or eight ears of corn, which could barely fill the bottom of the basket.
But Mrs. Ye showed a look of surprise and praised repeatedly: "You picked up so many, Qingtian is so capable!
"Look at your little face, it's all red. Drink some sugar water and take a rest for a while."
Qingtian held the pottery jar in both hands and gulped down several big mouthfuls of the sugar water.
She pursed her lips contentedly, savoring the sweetness of the syrup.
"Will you stay here and continue playing with your brothers, or will you go home with Mom?"
Mrs. Ye looked at the sun rising higher and higher, and felt a little reluctant to be exposed to the sun on a sunny day.
Qingtian corrected her immediately, "Mom, we are not playing, we are helping grandma with work!
Upon hearing this, Ye Juan'er immediately vouched for her, saying, "That's right, the children are all very sensible! They've been a real help."
"Okay, then you continue to help here. Mom will go back first."
Seeing that Third Sister Ye had already distributed the sweet soup to the children, Big Sister Ye picked up the basket and temporarily left the field.
But as soon as she put down the basket at home, she went out without stopping to pick some cattails.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do with so many cattails?" Sister-in-law Ye San asked curiously.
"Let's knit a small hat for the sunny day." Mrs. Ye found a bench to sit on and began to knit with swift hands and feet.
"It's not too hot now, but the sun is still very strong," she said as she made up the story. "The child has delicate skin, and she's playing in the fields and doesn't want to go home. I'm worried she'll get a sunburn."
