Chapter 178 Time has failed to change him
After hosting a banquet in the village, Jiang Mingyue and the others did not return to the city immediately.
Men have to take care of their business, so they go back to the city first.
Jiang Mingyue and the others did not reply.
Stay to harvest rice.
Go back after you have collected everything.
Although they lived in the city this year, they returned home during the spring ploughing season and planted crops on their fields.
The fertilizers and other things were not left behind.
Now that their rice is ready to be harvested, they will naturally return to the city after harvesting it.
Otherwise the elderly at home will be worried.
It just so happens that it’s summer vacation now, and Man Yue and Ya Ya don’t have to go to school, so everyone works in the village together.
Jiang Mingyue and his friends had originally planned to do a big job during the autumn harvest, but just as the day for harvesting rice came, Gu Dongqing brought a dozen people into the village.
They came with tools.
As soon as they arrived, they went down to the fields and started harvesting the rice.
As Jiang Mingyue stared in astonishment, the workers in the field were like machines, whooshing through a large area in a few seconds.
The Jiang family members who had not yet had time to go to the fields to work...
At this rate, will they be able to harvest even a handful of rice?
In order to ensure that their family would not be left without harvesting any rice, the Jiang family, young and old, took sickles and went to work in another field.
"Daughter-in-law, grandpa, grandma, go home and have a rest."
Gu Dongqing came over, took the sickle from Jiang Mingyue's hand, rolled up his sleeves and went to work in the fields.
His movements were skillful and he didn't act arrogantly at all.
He doesn't look like the boss of several companies doing business in the city at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Mingyue smiled and asked her grandparents to take the child home, while she and her two sisters would help here.
The old man didn't go back.
He stayed in the city every day. Apart from taking care of the children, he watched TV at home and went for a walk. He did not do any work at all and felt that his body was about to rust.
Having finally returned to the village to harvest rice, he is definitely going to work in the fields.
In the end, the old lady took Yaya and Mumu and his siblings back home together.
The remaining few people, together with Gu Dongqing, harvested the rice in this field.
"Sister, do you remember the first time my brother-in-law came to our house and helped us harvest rice?"
Jiang Mingyue hadn't done farm work for a long time, and she felt exhausted after just a little work.
She stood up to catch her breath, and Jiang Xinyue came over to talk to her.
How could Jiang Mingyue not remember?
At that time, Gu Dongqing was cutting rice at a very fast speed and soon left their family far behind.
Two years later, he went to the fields to harvest rice again. His speed was still as fast as before and his movements did not seem unfamiliar at all.
I don’t know how this man maintains it?
Anyway, she was exhausted!
With the help of the family and hired workers, Jiang Mingyue and her colleagues harvested all the rice in two days.
Not only were they harvested, but they were also all threshed and sent to the drying yard to dry.
This year, their family's growth rate is much faster than that of the family with the most sons in the village.
While others were still busy harvesting rice in the fields, Jiang Mingyue and her friends had already been drying their crops in the hot sun for two or three days.
The village chief Liu Yongzheng came to find Jiang Mingyue and asked her where she invited those people who had cut rice for their family a few days ago.
"I think the weather is unusually hot. If we don't harvest quickly, I'm afraid it will rain."
These grains are usually afraid of lack of rain, because lack of rain will affect their growth and development.
But when it comes time to harvest, we are afraid of rain.
Rain would make them moldy and would cause the food to rot.
Liu Yongzheng's family has a lot of land, and his two sons and daughters-in-law cannot come back to help harvest the rice, so he, Mao Lihua, and his son-in-law Zhao Tiezhu are the only ones who have to work day and night to harvest all the rice, but they cannot finish it.
In addition, Zhao Tiezhu's family also has more than 20 acres of land. The yellow rice is bending with smiles, waiting for them to harvest it and take it home!
There can't be any accidents.
Just a few days ago, he saw that the people hired by Gu Dongqing to work for the Jiang family were very efficient.
Liu Yongzheng thought about it and decided that he could also hire someone to do the work. He couldn't let his son-in-law and the old couple work themselves to death in the fields.
That's why he came to the show to ask Jiang Mingyue.
Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment and answered, "They went back after they finished their work. I heard from Brother Dong that they were paid eight yuan a day, working from dawn to dusk."
Eight dollars is a bit expensive, to be honest.
But there is no way, who can blame the lack of manpower at home?
Liu Yongzheng gritted his teeth and asked Jiang Mingyue to give him Gu Dongqing's contact information. He called him and asked him to help find six people to work for two days.
Six people, plus three people from their family, can harvest all the rice for their family and their son-in-law's family in two days, or at most three days.
Jiang Mingyue agreed, wrote down the phone number of Gu Dongqing's office and gave it to the village chief.
Liu Yongzheng thanked him and turned around to get busy.
Jiang Mingyue continued to dry the rice.
When it got dark, she swept the rice into a pile, then twisted a grain of rice between her fingers and held it between her teeth for a moment.
Judge whether the rice has been thoroughly exposed to the sun by feeling.
After tasting the rice, Jiang Mingyue found that it was not fully dried yet and needed to be dried for another day.
She clapped her hands and covered the rice with plastic sheeting.
"Mingyue, go home." The old man came over with a flashlight. He had to keep watch in the sun-drying field tonight.
Generally, most of the people who guard the rice fields at night are men.
Jiang Mingyue did not argue with her grandfather. She asked him to be more careful at night and to pay attention to his own safety first if it rained or someone came to steal rice.
In the past, people from other villages came to their village to steal rice, but they were discovered by the owner and a fight broke out among them.
The owner's head was smashed.
Although the public security has improved a lot in recent years, under the leadership of Liu Yongzheng, few people from other villages dare to enter the village to steal things, but Jiang Mingyue still couldn't help but give a few more reminders.
The old man nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Grandpa, you can go back soon."
"good."
Jiang Mingyue returned home and waited until dawn the next day to go out and dry the rice.
When he was about to go to bed, Gu Dongqing came back again, and with him came Pei Che.
I wonder if they will get tired running like this all day?
The two of them arrived home and had a quick dinner. They heard that grandpa was drying the rice, so they decided to go over there together and bring grandpa back to replace him.
With a young and strong man at home, he will naturally not let the old man stay up late outside.
"Then you guys should be careful too. Bring some mosquito coils with you. There are a lot of mosquitoes over there." Jiang Mingyue reminded Gu Dongqing while packing things for him.
The man was already very tired after working in the city during the day, and he had to run back to the sunbathing field at night to keep watch. Even a man made of iron could not bear it.
Gu Dongqing lowered his eyes and watched the girl in front of him kissing the pear lightly. With a faint smile on his face, he reached out and held her hand, "I'm fine."
"I can't sleep in the city unless you come back."
