After drinking the water, she sat on the sofa in a daze, and was not awakened until Gu Jingmo and the others came back and opened the door.
Looking at the people who came back, she asked in a sticky voice: "What were you doing? When I woke up, you were not here."
"I accompanied Grandpa and the others to the fields to check when the wheat could be harvested."
"We looked around in other places and saw that you were sleeping, so we didn't call you. Are you awake now?"
After hearing what he said again, she nodded stiffly, indicating that she was awake, then poured him a glass of water, handed it to him, asked him to drink, and asked:
"Where are Grandpa and the others? Why didn't they come back with you? Did something happen outside?"
"They ran into someone they knew on their way back. It's been two days, so I just said hello to them and came back. I didn't know them either, and I was worried that you would wake up at home and not be able to find us and get worried."
"How are the fields doing? Are the crops growing well?"
"It's pretty good. The wheat ears are heavy and look very full. They are almost yellow. They can be harvested in two days. I see other people around are already harvesting them."
"And those people working in the fields all look very happy. This year should be a good harvest year, and everyone will have a good New Year."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "It's a good harvest! Everyone has worked hard for a year, and it's time for a good harvest. I hope the weather will be fine from now until the end of the busy farming season, and it won't rain."
"Otherwise, all our hard work for the past year will be in vain."
Gu Jingmo nodded and said, "I heard from Grandpa and the others that the elders in the village have checked the weather and it should be fine in the next few days. It should be good this year."
After listening to him, Xia Jin nodded to indicate that she understood, and then the two of them sat on the sofa and talked.
After a while, Grandpa Xia and the others came back, and Father Xia and the others followed him in. Xia Jin quickly handed them the cooled water and asked them to drink some first.
Because they were sitting on the sofa drinking water. After they finished drinking, they took a while to relax. Then they said, "I have heard about the harvester yesterday. Let your father go to the town to check it out tomorrow."
"I heard that the nephew of a villager from the next village bought it. This is the first year he bought it. He said he was planning to do this business. I'll ask your father to go see if he's willing to come. There shouldn't be anyone in our village who would use it except us."
After hearing this, Xia Jin knew that he would definitely come. After all, it was good enough to have business in the first year after purchasing this machine. What else could he complain about?
Another thing is that everyone is very frugal nowadays. They would not spend money if they can avoid it. Who would spend money like they do? So if his father went to see him tomorrow, he would definitely agree.
After all, if you miss out on their business, it is still uncertain whether you can find business in the future. Even if you can, the chances will be small. After all, how much money can you earn from growing wheat in a year?
It was barely enough for their family's expenses, so how could they afford to use a machine to harvest wheat? So even though they were the only family there, that person would definitely come.
I just don't know how good the real people's wheat-cutting skills are. If the novice cuts the wheat badly in the first year, it will be troublesome. It will be crooked if the wheat is cut and too many ears of wheat fall off.
After all, they are the ones who do the finishing work. If he drops too much on the ground, they have to go to the field to pick it up under the scorching sun.
It will be quite troublesome at that time, and it will be difficult to pick them up in the field. It would be better for them to cut them themselves at that time. So this kind of thing also depends on my skills. If I don’t have good skills, then there is no point.
Grandpa Xia and the others also understood this logic. They were worried about this matter before. After all, they had already spent money to hire machines. If they had to send people to work in the fields under the hot sun, it would not be cost-effective.
Their plan was to wait for Xia's father to find him and see if he had an employer. If so, they would follow him to see how good his skills were. If they found his skills were good, they could discuss this matter later.
After listening to his long-term plan, Xia Jin also expressed his agreement. After all, if the technology was not good, it would cause a lot of trouble to their family.
If the technique is good and the harvesting is good, then we will use it next year and the year after. Anyway, no one in the town will buy this machine in the next few years.
Firstly, the machine costs a lot of money, and secondly, there aren’t that many people around here who can afford to hire them, so you won’t make much money from selling it.
Time came quickly. Three days before Liu Pingping's wedding, Xia Jin and the others started packing as soon as they got up in the morning, because according to the departure time of Brother Xia and the others, they should have arrived today.
However, Xia Jin and the others did not want to pick them up. After all, it would be easy to lose sight of each other at the train station. By the time one of them came back, the other would still be waiting there foolishly, which would be a waste of effort.
Moreover, they were very familiar with the way home, so there was no problem of getting lost, so Xia Jin and the others waited quietly at home.
Because it was Aunt Xia's daughter's wedding, Aunt Xia came back very early. She came back not long after Xia Jin and the others arrived here.
After all, her child was getting married, and there were still many things to do. Aunt Xia was also very busy, so Xia Jin only met her once and asked about her work in the factory. When he found out that everything was fine, he didn't bother her again.
She went there again later. At that time, Aunt Xia was organizing the villagers to make a dowry quilt for her daughter. That time, Xia Jin also finished her meal and chatted with her sister before going home.
Around noon, Brother Xia and his friends came back in a ox cart, carrying a lot of bags.
Xia Jin and the others didn't hear what they had exchanged for in the house. It was only when someone came in carrying a bag that they realized they had returned.
The gifts they brought as a reason, and also the wedding gift they gave to Liu Pingping, although it has not been a month, you can see that it is very different.
As soon as Second Brother Xia came back, he kept talking about their business.
Since Liu Hongshan had to come back early, they did not go far on their first business trip and went to the neighboring mountain province.
And I didn't go to other cities, I just went to their provincial capital and stayed there for a few days. Although I encountered a lot of cold stares, after their persistence, I finally got a deal.
Although it wasn't much, it was considered a good start for them, and they also received a small bonus as a token of appreciation for this order.
Brother Xia was very excited when he said this, it seemed that he really liked that job.
He also said that more people would definitely order the stuff later, maybe because they didn’t know how good it tasted.
