[System, sign in.]
[Ding - Sign-in successfully on the fifth day of fleeing famine, sign-in reward: one pound of rice, three bottles of purified water, and one compressed biscuit. The reward has been put into the system space. ]
On the fifth day of the famine escape, Lu Changge is going to the fields to harvest white radishes.
Not long after breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle Lu, we are here!"
Hearing the sound, Lu Changge picked up the cloth bags piled against the wall.
Seeing his father was about to go out, little Tuanzi ate a bun while jogging to follow him.
The person driving the ox cart was a white-haired old man, and five or six children were standing next to the ox cart.
"Uncle Lu, can we leave our brother and sister at your house? There are no adults at home for Xiaomin and me today." The little boy standing next to the old man said cautiously.
"Okay." Lu Changge nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"
We have to harvest radishes today, so Lu Changge went to look for people and tools yesterday.
The little boy who just spoke is Li Tugen, eight years old.
The white-haired old man driving the ox cart was his grandfather. Li Tugen also had a two-year-old brother.
The sister Xiaomin he mentioned is called Li Xiaomin, twelve years old.
There are no adults in Li Xiaomin's family, only four siblings.
The eight-year-old brother is called Li Erniu, and there is a pair of two-year-old twins, Li Sanya and Li Sihu.
This grandfather, his three grandsons, and his four siblings all lived in two families close to Lu Changge's home.
When both families came to help, they would bring their younger brothers and sisters with them.
One is that he is the same age as Xiaotuanzi, so they can play together.
Secondly, there were no adults at home, and they were worried about leaving their younger siblings alone at home.
After a few visits, Dahei and Erhei became familiar with them.
Dahei, who was lying guard by the gate, saw the children walk into the house and just glanced at them.
After settling his younger brothers and sisters, Li Tugen helped move the necessary tools onto the ox cart.
"Uncle Lu, that's enough."
"Um."
Just when they were about to set off, Xiaotuanzi ran out with Erhei.
There are also two rattans woven into a small rattan hat and worn on the bun.
"Daddy...Tuanzi wants to go too!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Tuanzi is going to pick lollipops...Lollipops!"
"No." Lu Changge refused without thinking.
"Your father is right. Pulling radishes is not fun at all. Brother Tuanzi, you can play games with Sanya and the others at home." Li Tugen on the side also advised.
"No... Tuanzi is capable of helping, and so is Erhei." Tuanzi patted Erhei's leg and said confidently.
"Woof!" Erhei barked to show his agreement.
At this time, Su Qingyun's voice came from home.
"Tuanzi... Tuanzi, where have you been?"
"Mom--I want to go with daddy...Ba Luo--Bei!" Little Dumpling turned around and shouted towards home.
Su Qingyun thought that her husband wanted to take Tuanzi with him, so she didn't think much about it.
"Okay! Listen to your father when you get there and don't run around!"
"I know--" the little dumpling responded to his father.
Then he turned around and looked up, looking at his father obediently, "Daddy, Tuanzi be good and don't run around."
Okay.
Lu Changge picked up the kid and put him on the ox cart.
Grandpa Li, who was leading the cow, only started to drive the cow after he saw Tuanzi sit down.
Cows are relatively precious to farmers, and they need to be well taken care of at all times except during the busy farming season.
So except for Xiaotuanzi, everyone else had to walk.
When Lu Changge first bought the land, he bought several plots of land together.
What’s more, everything I bought was close to my home, so if I walked slowly I could get there in ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, the half acre of land where radishes were planted finally arrived.
The ox cart stopped in front of a radish field.
Grandpa Li unloaded the wooden cart from the cow, then tied the cow to a tree and let it graze.
Li Xiaomin saw Tuanzi wanted to get off the car, so she carried him down out of habit.
Only after she hugged him did she realize that this was not her brother.
"Thank you, sister." After standing up, Tuanzi thanked Sister Xiaomin.
"No...it's okay." Li Xiaomin said stutteringly.
After arriving at the place, Li Tugen and his team started working.
Each person started pulling out one hole at a time.
There were four people in total, including Grandpa Li Tugen and his grandson, Li Xiaomin's sister and brother, and Lu Changge.
All five towers can be removed in one round.
Li Tugen and his friends have been doing farm work since they were young, so picking radishes is not a problem for them.
In addition, last night Lu Changge asked Er Teng to come over and loosen the soil.
This radish is easier to pull.
Even a two-year-old kid can chew a big radish with a little effort.
"Wow! Daddy... Tuanzi is biting a big basil!"
Little Dumpling said happily while holding a big radish in both hands.
"Uncle Lu, the soil in your field doesn't seem to be hard at all. It doesn't take much effort to rub it." Li Tugen said in surprise.
"The soil is loose and soft, as if it has been loosened in advance. It seems that we can finish the work early." Grandpa Li on the side also sighed.
After hearing what this human said, Nido subconsciously felt guilty.
Then I realized that this human being is unaware of his own existence, so what is he feeling guilty about?
Little Dumpling found that pulling radishes was fun, and continued to do so.
Erhei on the side is even smarter.
It used its front paws to scratch the surrounding dirt, then it went to scratch the one in front.
At the same time, he kicked with his hind legs, knocking down the previous tree.
The front and hind paws worked together, and soon Erhei pulled out a lot.
Of course, before kicking, Erhei carefully retracted his claws.
Little Tuanzi concentrated on plucking a few, and when he looked up, he saw Erhei running in front of him.
Moreover, the white radishes behind Erhei were all lying on the ground in a twisted state.
"Wow, Erhei, you are so annoying!" Little Tuanzi ran to Erhei.
“Woof woof!”
Erhei raised his head and barked twice to show that he received his praise.
Little Dumpling looked up and saw that the radishes picked by his father and his brothers and sisters were neatly arranged.
There are only two black ones, which makes everything a mess.
"Erhei, let me help you."
After saying this, Xiaotuanzi started to help.
Since Erhei kicks the radish wherever he wants, the radish is often kicked in all directions.
The little dumpling had to run over to pick them up and put them away.
The little boy ran around on the ground and soon started sweating.
With a wave of his little hand, he instantly turned into a little cat, but he didn't know it yet.
"Daddy! We've pulled out Wo and Erhei... so many!" Little Tuanzi said with a cat face, looking up and laughing.
The radishes were picked by Erhei, and these are what he brought back and arranged neatly.
To sum up, this is the result of the joint efforts of Tuanzi and Erhei.
"Is it hot?"
Lu Changge saw that the hair on Tuanzi’s forehead was wet.
"Don't mess with..."
"Go sit under the tree with Erhei, Daddy will take you home later."
The soil is soft, so it can be pulled out quickly.
Not long after, Li Tugen and his three companions had already pulled out one-third of the trees.
"I'm not going home...it's fun here." Tuanzi has found fun and doesn't want to go home.
"Go home and eat big watermelon."
Lu Changge signed in yesterday, and one of the sign-in rewards was a watermelon.
"Big melon...I want to eat!"
Tuanzi was obviously thinking of the big watermelon his father put into the well this morning, and his attention was successfully diverted.
As time passed, the sun began to rise slowly.
Tuanzi, who was playing under the shade of the tree, felt a little hot.
After two-thirds of the radishes have been pulled, start loading them onto the truck.
Pinch off the radish fibers, put them neatly into cloth bags, tie them up, and then stack them one by one on the wooden cart.
The ox cart set off, and Lu Changge called back the little Tuanzi who had run far away.
"Tuanzi, it's time to go home."
"...I'm here!" The little dumpling who was running around picking wild flowers heard his father calling him, so he stopped picking flowers and ran back quickly.
Erhei, who had been guarding Tuanzi, also trotted back.
On the way back, the ox cart was full of things and there was no place to sit.
After walking for a few minutes, the little boy could no longer walk, so Lu Changge picked him up.
When they were almost home, the little girl shouted excitedly, "Mom and Daddy are back!"
Not long after Xiaotuanzi shouted, Su Qingyun appeared at the gate.
As soon as the little girl landed on the ground, she immediately ran to her grandfather, waving the flowers in her hand to him as she ran.
"Mum, Tuanzi picked some small wawawa for you!"
Su Qingyun took the flower from Tuanzi's hand and saw his gloomy little face, and couldn't help laughing.
"Why did you get your face so dirty?"
"Tuanzibada - Luobei, so disgusting!" said the little Tuanzi while giving himself a thumbs up.
After entering the gate, Xiaotuanzi saw his three friends squatting by the pool, and his attention was diverted again.
The little girl ran over curiously.
The ox cart stopped in front of the stone steps of the gate. Lu Changge carried the ox carts into the yard, one bag in each hand. After a few trips, all the goods were moved.
Seeing her husband finished moving, Su Qingyun, who was waiting on the side, walked over with mung bean soup.
Lu Changge took it and drank it in two gulps.
Grandpa Li also picked up his bowl and started drinking.
"I cooked some mung bean soup. Take some with you when you go to the fields later to quench Xiaomin and the others' thirst."
"good."
Carrying mung bean soup, Lu Changge and Uncle Li went to the fields again.
After five or six trips in the morning, we finally collected all the radishes.
While collecting, Lu Changge made an estimate:
We harvested 100 radishes weighing half a pound, for a total of 50 pounds.
Medium-sized radishes weigh about two kilograms. There are 300 of them in total, with a total weight of about 600 kilograms.
There were also 75 large radishes weighing four or five pounds, totaling about 350 pounds.
Therefore, Lu Changge's half-acre of white radish field yielded a total of more than 1,000 kilograms of white radish.
Regardless of size, a total of 475 radishes were harvested.
There were so many radishes that they filled up the walls on both sides of the yard, and just looking at them gave me a sense of satisfaction from a great harvest.
At the very least, Lu Changge, who has the attribute of hoarding food, was in a good mood when he saw it.
The last trip was to the fields to transport radish ropes.
Uncle Li looked at the potato field next to him and grinned, "Are these potatoes ready to be harvested?"
"Well, we can harvest it at the end of June." Lu Changge nodded.
"It will be soon. It won't be long..."
The villagers actually grow radishes and potatoes.
It’s just a matter of planting it in your own vegetable garden, scattering some seeds, watering it, and then letting it grow freely.
For people like Lu Changge who only use fertile land for farming, it would be a waste for them.
After all, only poor families who have no money to buy rice will eat carrots and potatoes for every meal.
