Chapter 971 A Dream (52)
Although it is well taken care of, the strawberry field is so large that the daily harvest cannot be too incredible.
But even so, each family can earn 500 coins a day.
Five hundred coins a day, that’s one tael of silver for two days.
Before the summer harvest, each family earned fifteen taels of silver.
With this money, after the summer harvest, the four brothers Su Laifu will be able to go to school.
The wheat looked green in the first few days, but after a few days, it turned yellow.
After the village chief took the village elders for a walk around the fields, they started to harvest the wheat.
The summer harvest is very hard. In June, the weather has already become hot.
But everyone has to go to the fields at dawn and go home after dark.
Just because of the June weather, the baby's face changes in an instant.
It's still sunny today, but it might rain tomorrow.
No one wants the wheat they have worked so hard to grow for half a year to be soaked by the rain and take root and sprout in the ground.
So we have to work as fast as possible and bring all the wheat home before it rains.
Therefore, summer harvest is also called rush harvest.
Of course, it is impossible for young people like Su Runrun, Su Laixi and Xiao Chengjin to go to the fields to harvest wheat.
But they also had tasks, such as carrying baskets to pick up wheat ears in the harvested fields, or driving away birds in the area where wheat was drying.
The summer sun is scorching hot. At the end of the day, you don’t know how much sweat you have shed, and your skin has become several degrees darker.
But at this time, food is the most important thing. In the whole village, from the elderly to the children, no one would complain about the hard work.
Everyone understands one thing: being tired or suffering a little bit is nothing, but being hungry is the most terrible thing.
The Su family has twelve acres of land, but only four adults can go to the fields to harvest the wheat.
Even the twelve-year-old Su Laifu didn't have the strength to harvest wheat in the fields.
They have to cut, pick and dry the fruits. Everyone in the Su family is busy and confused.
At this time, the advantages of the Xiao family became apparent.
The Xiao family only had four acres of land. Although there were only two people to harvest the wheat, Xiao Da Niu was already thirteen years old and could lead her three younger sisters to transport the wheat in a cart. Although the amount they transported might be a little less each time, but as time went by, their wheat was harvested very quickly.
After the Xiao family's wheat was harvested, Xiao Yougen and Xiao Wangshi asked Xiao Da Niu and Xiao Er Niu to watch over the wheat drying, while Xiao San Niu and Xiao Siniu carried baskets to pick wheat ears in the fields. The couple came to the Su family to help harvest the wheat.
At first Su Cangshan was reluctant, but in the end Xiao Yougen pretended to be angry and Su Cangshan agreed. However, he also thought in his heart that after the summer harvest was over, he must treat Xiao Yougen to a drink.
But that is a matter for the future. The most important thing right now is to harvest the wheat as soon as possible.
After working for seven or eight days, all the wheat was finally dried and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Cangshan sat in his yard, looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on his dark face, "God is kind to me this year! It didn't even rain!"
When Su Yahe heard this, he almost slapped Su Cangshan on the head.
What kind of words are these? Are you hoping for rain? Thinking that they have made a lot of money this year and the family will have a lot of income in the future, Su Dahe said to Su Cangshan, "This year, our wheat, except for paying taxes, don't sell the rest, keep it for our own consumption."
