“It looks like we all grow the same kind of corn, but the varieties are different, the ways to eat it are different, and the harvest time is different. Some taste best when eaten fresh, but some taste better after being dried and processed, and can also be stored for future use!”
Su Nanxi briefly explained the harvest time and processing methods for the corn she grew, and finally got to the important point, which was the precautions to take.
Money and silk move people's hearts!
This saying is timeless!
With profits at stake and people easily swayed by circumstances, it's hard to guarantee that no one will target Changna Village for fame and fortune!
Therefore, during this period, we must remain highly vigilant and protect our property!
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed. They were just happy, but their smiles vanished instantly, replaced by serious and solemn faces!
This is no small matter!
Can you not be so serious?
It concerns the safety of our family's belongings. We're about to start collecting money, so we have to be on high alert!
This is no joke!
There was Liu Dashui who stayed up all night picking corn, who can guarantee that there won't be Zhang Dashui and Chen Dashui next!
Why break off ears of corn?
It's all about money!
If you break it open, you can sell it and get money!
Who wouldn't want to make money so easily, without having to put in any hard work!
Believe it or not, there must be a lot of people who think this way, especially people from other villages. Some of them have followed suit and started planting, but if you expand a little further out, there are still many people who haven't planted. If they knew how much money it was making, they would definitely feel resentful!
Feeling unbalanced might lead you to do something bad!
If others can exchange it for money, they'll want to too. Driven by desire, they might just steal it!
Strengthening precautions is definitely necessary!
Especially now, during the busy farming season, everyone is very tired and goes to bed early and sleeps soundly. They don't even know what's happening in the fields in the middle of the night!
This clearly gives others an opportunity to take advantage!
The Mo family members are not stupid at all; on the contrary, they are all very shrewd. After a little thought, they understand everything!
The four of them are back just in time. If they finish harvesting quickly, they'll have more time to look after the crops in the field!
Su Nanxi felt that she had been too serious. Look at how she had made it sound like she was about to go to the battlefield and face a fierce enemy!
Sigh! That stern and solemn expression is really a bit unsettling!
Everyone usually has a smile on their face, but after she did that, it was as if she had taken away their smiles!
"I've thought of some ideas. You don't need to be so tense and serious. They won't be so rampant during the day, since there are often people walking around in the fields! We can make some arrangements quietly before nightfall!"
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to come back to life, their smiles returning, and they all asked what the solution was.
Su Nanxi kept it a secret, not saying it directly, only saying that you'll find out when the time comes!
Grandma Mo suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "There are few people in the fields at noon, and they basically don't go out. Isn't it dangerous?"
Now that you mention it, everyone remembers that it's the busy farming season, and the Liang family isn't helping to watch over the cornfields. Chen Ahua is sick and probably hasn't recovered yet, so no one has been visiting her either. That means the Mo family's fields are completely unattended.
Is it possible that someone would actually brave the heat and steal things?
People who are terrified of poverty are fearless!
It's reasonable to have such concerns!
Everyone couldn't help but worry. Should they take turns going to the fields to check on things?
"No need, I've made arrangements, so don't worry. Stealing things isn't that easy! It's unbearably hot at noon, let's rest at home! When we get up, all the crops in the fields will be there!"
Seeing Su Nanxi speak with such certainty and confidence, everyone gradually believed her. What Su Su said must be true, and it was the right thing to do to believe her!
Su Su would never joke about something so important!
Su Su looked confident and assured that she wouldn't cheat them. Besides, what good would it do her to cheat them?
"However, it's still best to mention this to the village chief so that the villagers can be more vigilant! Regardless of whether it will happen or not, it's always good to be cautious in critical moments!"
Su Nanxi told Old Man Mo to find a time to mention it to the village chief. As for what the villagers did, that was none of their business. Anyway, he had already reminded them of what needed to be reminded!
Everything was arranged, and everyone was tired, so they all went back to their rooms to rest. They would continue to work hard in the afternoon!
If you don't get enough rest, you won't have any energy, and you'll definitely work very slowly!
Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work; a good afternoon nap will restore your energy, and you'll still be able to work like a whirlwind in the afternoon!
In the afternoon, the Mo family ate their fill before going out to work, and they brought a lot of water with them, including sugar water and tea, so that whoever wanted to drink whichever they liked could drink it!
The Mo family still took the big umbrella out as usual, but no one dared to come and cool off all afternoon. Everything remained the same for the Mo family!
Seeing the elderly people covered in sweat, Su Su felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, she turned to Mo Qinghe next to her and whispered, "I'd like to ask a few hardworking people from the village to help with the harvest. What do you think?"
Mo Qinghe wiped the sweat from his face. He was a little taken aback by the sudden question. Sigh, the sun was making him dizzy. It took him a while to realize what his wife had said to him.
At first, he didn't quite understand why his wife said that. But when he saw her look to the side, he realized what was going on and suddenly felt a little guilty. It was his fault. Why didn't he think of that?
"Okay! How many do you want to invite, honey?" I support whatever my wife does; she's always right.
Hiring someone to do the work will be faster, so the elderly in the family won't have to work so hard!
These old folks insist on coming out to work, and they get angry if you try to stop them. There's just no way to deal with them!
But what if they finish their work? What will they do next?
No, there's still work to do, but it's not as strenuous. At least I can take a break from time to time and hide in the cornfield, where I don't have to be exposed to the scorching sun!
This is feasible!
Su Nanxi actually knew that Mo Qinghe would agree, but she still asked the question out of habit.
Since there are no objections, let's get started!
We should ask Qin and Zhao about this. After all, they have been with the Mo family for a long time and know the village well. They are the ones who have the most say in who to ask!
Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback for a moment. Qin said, "How about this? Let's spread the word in the village that anyone who has finished their farm work and meets the requirements can come and help the Mo family. They can sign up at the Mo family. The Mo family offers very good benefits!"
After thinking about it, Zhao agreed that this was feasible, as it would avoid the situation where they thought someone was suitable, but that person was unavailable.
Su Nanxi nodded. She had been inconsiderate. Let's do as Qin said!
Is this true?
