Chapter 68, Harvest in the Field (Please vote for recommendation)
After leaving the convoy, He Anze was determined to get home. When passing by the mall, he thought of the thin little girl.
After thinking about it, he walked into the mall.
When he came out, he had a big bag in his hand.
No one knew what was inside, but from He Anze's face, it could be seen that he was very happy.
···
"Grandma, our rice has turned yellow. Can we harvest it in a few days?" August has arrived, and other people's rice has been dried and stored in the barn, waiting to be paid as public tax.
There were only a few households in the village whose rice had not been harvested.
One of them is Mei Xue’s family.
"Wait a few more days until An Ze comes back, then we'll go collect them together, just the two of us. Grandma's afraid you'll be tired." It's been so long, it's time for An Ze to come back.
When Mei Xue heard that she had to wait for that man, she didn't want to talk anymore. She wanted to tell her grandmother that she could do it alone, but...
Knowing that grandma has been looking forward to his return recently, she will wait a little longer.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the fields with An Liang and the others to dig up loaches. The sun is strong now, so don't go down the mountain. Be careful not to get a heat stroke."
Mei Xue took out the big bucket from her home again.
"Okay, grandma, you won't go out. Just rest at home." I've been running too much these days and I need to take a rest.
After a while, An Liang, An Wen, and An Shan came over. "Sister-in-law, let's go."
Now every household has almost finished harvesting their crops, and it is a good time to go out and catch loaches and eels.
“Here I come.”
There were four people, each carrying a large bucket. This was the first time that Anshan joined their operation.
Along the way, he spoke very little, not at all as shy as he was when he first met Mei Xue.
Quietly.
"Sister-in-law, let's go catch them in my field first." An Liang said as they walked.
"Okay, after we catch them, we'll go to An Wen's field and catch more." Mei Xue replied.
Anshan really wanted to go to his house again, but forget it.
There were four of them in the group, and they walked very fast. There was some water in many of the fields, and they were obviously experts at wetlands. They waited until the ground was wet before turning over loaches and eels.
They were out for an entire afternoon, and when they came back, all four large barrels were filled with goods.
The smiles on everyone's faces never stopped.
"Sister-in-law, let's go again tomorrow. Haha, it's great. There are so many of them. We can make a lot of money if we sell them." School will start soon and An Liang will go to school. He has to earn some pocket money for himself.
I have to mention that last time after An Liang and An Wen sold wine, their family gave Grandma He and Mei Xue a piece of cloth, wanting to make clothes for them.
Grandma He was not polite and took it directly. She also gave the skin to Meilian and asked her to make clothes with it, but she said she would not pay her.
Why would Aunt Meilian ask her third aunt for money? She quickly agreed.
Mei Xue asked Aunt Mei Lian to make all of them into autumn clothes.
The relationship between the three families became closer and closer. An Liang and An Wen would come to find Mei Xue to go up the mountain whenever they had time.
From time to time, he would bring back some wild fruits or game from the mountains.
I didn't encounter any big animals, but I caught a lot of small ones.
The four of them carried buckets of water and went straight into Mei Xue's house. "Sister-in-law, should we take these home to eat or sell them?" An Wen asked after putting them down.
Mei Xue really wanted to save some for herself, but there was so much this time that she definitely couldn't finish it.
"Let's sell it. Is there a big market tomorrow?" Mei Xue asked as she calculated the days.
"Really? Sister-in-law, are you saying we should sell it?" An Liang was excited.
"How about you finish it?" Mei Xue rolled her eyes at An Liang, "I'm not afraid of you eating too much." After getting familiar with each other, Mei Xue's mouth became more and more like Grandma He's.
"Afraid." An Liang admitted.
"That's it. Each of you take some back to eat, and we'll sell the rest tomorrow and come back to divide the money after selling them." There are more than a hundred pounds of food here, and it's another sum of money. I think grandma will be happy.
Mei Xue glanced around the house, but didn't see her grandmother. "Grandma, are you home?"
As soon as Grandma He heard Xiaoxue's voice, she immediately heard an echo from the back of the house. "Yes, Grandma is in the back room." Grandma He was feeding the chickens. These chickens grew so fast that the house could no longer hold them.
After hearing her grandmother's voice, Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief. "You guys can take it by yourselves. Go back after you're done. We have to make dinner soon."
As soon as Mei Xue spoke, An Liang and An Wen started to fight skillfully.
And Anshan followed them and caught some and took them back.
The bucket is placed here.
After spending an afternoon together, Anshan slowly relaxed a little. Knowing that his sister-in-law was not angry with him because of what happened last time, he slowly changed back to normal.
After the three people left, Mei Xue dripped some water from the space into the bucket to ensure that she would not die tomorrow.
It was such a hot day, she was afraid she couldn't endure it.
When she came to the house, she saw her grandmother catching chicks. Mei Xue immediately walked over and asked, "Grandma, why did you let them out?"
Help grandma catch them.
"I didn't release them. These chickens are big enough to fly out by themselves. Alas, I can't keep them captive anymore."
Grandma He threw the chicken in her hand into the house.
"Then don't lock them up, let them out. I'll repair the chicken coop in front when I come back from the market tomorrow, and then you can let them go upstairs." The chicken coop is on the left side of the yard. It used to be where the adult chickens were kept, but it has been empty since the adult chickens were sold.
"We're going to the big market tomorrow?" Grandma He was surprised. "How many did you catch today?"
Mei Xue smiled and said, "Not much, maybe about 100 pounds."
Over a hundred pounds, Grandma He was frightened, "Did you turn over the fields empty?" So many?
"Did he go to someone else's field?" Grandma He asked seriously.
"How is that possible?" Mei Xue was speechless. "We caught them in the fields of An Liang and An Wen's families, and also caught some loaches from the ditch." It's true that she was greedy, but she didn't have the habit of stealing.
Hearing that they didn't go to other people's land, Grandma He breathed a sigh of relief. "Every household in the village has a hard time. Don't touch other people's land, so as to avoid trouble. I don't know how many people are watching you now."
Ever since Xiaoxue's wine-making skills became known, countless people have come to ask if they can learn how to make it.
She rejected them all. If I really touch other people's things, I'm afraid I'll lose them.
Favors are the hardest to repay.
"I know, grandma." If she wasn't afraid that grandma would worry, she would chase away every one of them.
It's a pity that she still has to live in the village, and of course it's impossible for her to offend everyone.
She knows a lot of things (I read them in books), so it’s okay to teach them a few things for grandma’s sake.
But it depends on her mood. If she is in a good mood, she will give it to you. But if you make her angry, she will say, "Stand still, I will rob you."
Let them experience some of her methods.
