So they all envied the Xia family. Fortunately, when they were harvesting wheat, Big Brother Xia had not returned yet, otherwise who knows how those people would have troubled them.
The man who harvested the wheat left after he finished because he got another order while he was harvesting. He was very happy because this was his second order in as many days.
Although the money earned from this business cannot be compared with the money earned from buying a harvester, it is better to have some money than nothing. Any money earned is better than no money at all.
Xia Jin's family used a harvester. After they finished harvesting, they went to tell their aunt. Aunt Xia and her family thought about it for a night and decided to use a harvester as well.
After all, my daughter is getting married soon. If I'm harvesting wheat, I won't have time to prepare so many things. It's their fault for choosing this time.
But at that time there were only a few options to choose from in the south. This one and that one didn't work, or it was too far away or took too long, so they decided on this one.
I thought that at worst, they would have to work overtime, so I tried to finish harvesting the wheat as soon as possible and leave plenty of time for preparation.
Aunt Xia's family originally thought about working overtime at night, but after Xia Jin recommended the harvester to them, they thought about it and figured that if they could finish the harvest in one day, it would be okay to use it.
Although it is a bit of a waste of money, it only lasts for this year. Besides, why do Aunt Xia and her son go out to earn money? Isn't it just to spend it?
Their family earns more money outside to spend, so this amount of money is nothing. Besides, they have no choice but to do so. After all, if they really do the surgery themselves, they will have no time to prepare well for their daughter.
So they thought about it all night and finally decided to use the harvester. After knowing that they were going to use it, Grandpa Xia quickly urged Father Xia to talk to that person.
When Xia's father went there, the man was sitting at home with a sad face. When he knew that his family had brought him another business, his face showed a happy expression.
He kept thanking them, and when he went to tell Aunt Xia about it, he was very serious. After all, you never know which business deal might bring him new customers.
Sometimes he couldn't have thought of it, like Father Xia would introduce new customers to them, which was also what they thought of. Now he is extremely grateful to himself for working hard before.
After all, if he had not done it seriously and had just muddled through at that time, he would not have been able to use this trick. Moreover, he was also very smart. Looking at Xia's father and his family, he knew what they were thinking. He was trying to keep repeat customers.
After harvesting the wheat, it needs to be dried for a few days before being stored. Then some of the wheat is left for family consumption and the rest is sold.
In the past, we had to pay grain to the state, but now that the land has been distributed to each household, we no longer have to pay grain. Whatever we grow is ours.
But everyone in the village still has the habit of keeping a lot of food to sell. Only those who are extremely short of money will keep just enough food to eat and sell the rest.
After all, they are also afraid of food shortages and are afraid of returning to the great famine in the 1960s, so they always keep a little more.
Then when the new wheat comes in the next year, they sell the old wheat together with the new wheat.
Every household in the village has a warehouse for storing wheat, so there is no need to worry. Even if there is no place to store it, Grandpa Xia and his family will keep a little extra. After all, food is the foundation of a person's life.
They are not afraid of having no money at home, but they are afraid of having no food at home. Those of them who lived through the Great Famine in the 1960s were really scared at that time.
However, their wheat still needs to be dried for another day if the weather is good, and two days if the weather is bad. It must be dry before being stored.
If you rush to store it before it is dried, it will easily get moldy, and the family's food supply for the year will be gone.
Grandpa Xia and his friends took a break at noon, and after they were done they went to check on the wheat to prevent dirty things like bird droppings from falling into the wheat, and to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing the wheat.
He didn't steal on a large scale, he just grabbed handfuls here and there. Although it seems like not much, it's actually quite a lot if you really count it.
So there is always someone staying there to watch over it and to prevent it from raining suddenly so that things can be cleaned up faster.
However, their family's wheat was harvested the earliest, and there were only a few threshing grounds, which was very effective in avoiding competing with others for land or tools.
Not long after Xia Jin woke up, Brother Xia and the others also woke up. Brother Xia insisted on taking her to the wheat drying ground to take a look.
I was worried, and since I had nothing to do, I just went along. It was a good time to go out for a walk. It would be bad to stay stuck at home all the time.
Brother Xia has lived here for more than ten years and is very familiar with the village. The people in the village are also familiar with him, so many people greeted him along the way.
There were also people who knew he was back and asked him to go out and play together, but that was not possible now because they were all busy harvesting wheat.
They were walking in the opposite direction of him, each holding a sickle, going to the fields to harvest wheat. However, many of them had already finished harvesting, after all, it was almost time.
After arriving at the threshing ground, Brother Xia looked at his family's wheat, and then started chatting with his good friends in the threshing ground.
After all, the friendship of so many years cannot be given up just like that. When he was in the city, he missed himself and these friends who grew up with him.
He missed the times when they climbed trees, robbed bird nests and went hunting in the mountains. He missed them very much and thought about the scenes of their mischief. Although some of them followed him to the city, some still stayed here.
After all, sometimes we have no choice. There were two things that we didn't attend, Xia Jin's selection, because they couldn't leave their homes.
However, their friendship did not fade despite being separated by long distances. Instead, it seemed to become even more lively. Since they had no plans for anything else, they decided to go hunting in the mountains together.
Several people were chatting and laughing. They did not feel embarrassed because of Second Brother Xia's identity. Instead, they were all very sincere. In their eyes, no matter how successful Second Brother Xia was, he was still their good brother.
The bond between growing up together cannot be severed just like that. After all, they have been playing together since they were young. When the adults in the family have no time to play because they are working in the fields, they put them under a big tree and let them play by themselves.
They have been scolded together, gotten into trouble together, and beaten people together. The relationship between them is incomparable to that of anyone else. No matter what, when they get older, this relationship will occupy a place in their memories.
