Chapter 137 Harvesting Wheat
Guo'er used a secret method to beat him, how could she possibly leave him with something to hold against her? She would never let this scumbag off so easily, it was truly disgusting!
After Liu Yaoyao returned, the whole family discussed and decided to abandon Zhao Jiacheng's family and immigrate overseas!
It was really because the family that Zhao Jiacheng offended this time was too well-off, and they were unable to survive with just one word from them.
Anyway, now that he has been stripped of his official position and is free, it would be good for the family to go abroad to avoid the limelight.
In fact, there was no need for them to do this. It was certain that Xiao Tianyu would not let Zhao Jiacheng go. As for the Liu family, they really didn't want to do anything to them.
The next morning, Xiao Tianyu sent Guo'er to the high-speed rail station, and the man got on the high-speed train home reluctantly.
After returning to L City, Guoer first went to Chen's house to deliver the protective jade talisman to her grandfather's house before returning to Lijia Village.
When I got home, there was no one there. It was the wheat harvest season in Lijia Village, and my grandmother and parents were helping my great-grandfather and second grandfather harvest wheat.
Guo'er also went to the fields, and several uncles, aunts and brothers came back to help.
The large plots of land in my great-grandfather and second-grandfather's homes were harvested by harvesters, and the small plots that could not be reached by harvesters were harvested manually.
Everyone was standing in rows in the fields, harvesting with sickles, and Guo'er also joined in.
"I'm so tired! It's so hot! I told you not to farm and to rent the land out to others to farm, but you just won't listen! You insist on farming!" Li Mingfei complained while waving his sickle.
Li Mingxiang also looked up at the elders who were harvesting wheat in another field and couldn't hear what they were saying. He also said, "Isn't it? Every year they ask us to come back to help harvest, and we get angry when they tell us not to plant. You know, we could make a lot of money if we planted all day, but all that money is wasted on harvesting the wheat!"
"Last year, when I was planting rice, I worked all day and almost couldn't get out of bed the next day. My whole body was in so much pain! I refused to pay anyone when they asked me to. They said there wasn't much land and it would be done quickly, so there was no need to hire anyone! Then they treated us like cows!" Li Minghui also complained.
They plant rice manually here, and the rice transplanter is not easy to use. I have bought one at home, but it just sits there unused.
"Brother, this year he used the excuse of getting married and didn't want to come back to harvest wheat. Grandpa scolded him, but he still came back obediently!!" Li Minghui continued.
Life is so hard for rural kids. When the harvest season comes, the elders at home will call and ask you to come back to help! You have to come back!
If you don't come back, I'm afraid you'll tire your parents and relatives. If you come back, you'll tire yourself out and be so tired that you won't be able to get out of bed!
Li Minghao glared at Li Minghui. "You're the only one who talks too much, but you're still unwilling to work. You're exhausted and you don't make much money. I don't know what Grandpa is thinking!"
"Stop complaining. Isn't that what the older generation does? They have feelings for these lands and can't bear to stop planting them!" Guo'er also said after hearing what they said.
She can also understand the thoughts of the older generation. Their ancestors have relied on farming for a living. If they are suddenly not allowed to farm, they will feel uncomfortable and feel that something is missing in their lives!
"Why did you find a boyfriend when you went to the capital this time? How about that guy named Xiao? Is he good to you?" Li Minghao asked after hearing Guo'er's response.
"Finding a boyfriend is a matter of fate. Just find him when destiny comes. Xiao Tianyu is a very nice person! He treats me very well! Don't worry, brother. If he wasn't nice to me, I wouldn't agree to be with him." Guo'er also said.
"That's right. We're just dating now. If he doesn't treat you well, just dump him and find another one! You're such an outstanding girl, are you afraid of not being able to find a boyfriend?" Li Mingfei said directly.
How could I be so outstanding that I don’t have anyone to pursue me? If this one doesn’t work, let’s try another one! Outstanding people are so confident!
Xiao Tianyu...thank you so much!
The brothers and sisters chatted while harvesting wheat. Fortunately, there were not many fields that required manual labor, otherwise it would have been a real hassle for the brothers.
The harvested wheat is pulled back to the drying yard and spread on the ground, then threshed with a cart. The threshed wheat grains are then blown off the husks and dust with a wooden shovel using the wind, leaving the clean wheat grains. They are then dried and packed into bags.
"I guess they will be almost done with their work in one day tomorrow." Li Xuezhu said while eating.
"Yes! My brothers are almost exhausted!" Guo'er also remembered how her brothers sat on the stools and couldn't get up after working so hard.
"Farm work is no easy feat. It's definitely tiring! By the way, do you know who gave the construction team who built our house a bonus? They actually added a lot of people to the work today, and even assigned a team specifically to build the new clinic."
Li Xuezhu asked about it in the morning, but couldn't get the reason.
Guo'er thought for a moment and said, "I think it's probably Uncle Liang!"
"It's him. Why would he help us?" Li Xuezhu asked.
"This matter should be related to grandpa. We all took advantage of him!" Guoer said mysteriously again.
Li Gensheng became interested and asked curiously, "What does it have to do with me?"
Guo Er didn't hide anything and said directly, "I want to wait until our new clinic is built, and then I'll let you start taking in some apprentices and spread the medical skills there."
"This is a great thing! We can then recruit some Chinese medicine practitioners or those with a basic knowledge of Chinese medicine. They can learn quickly and master it quickly. Once they have mastered it, they can recruit apprentices. This way, we can have more Chinese medicine practitioners!"
Li Gensheng agreed. How could the treasures left by their ancestors be so poor? Perhaps in the future, Chinese medicine will flourish.
"Yes, let Uncle Liang arrange people for this matter when the time comes, and you just need to teach!" Guo'er knew that Li Gensheng didn't like these trivial matters, so she thought of letting Liang Hong arrange people in the future, and he only needed to concentrate on medical skills.
"That's great. I don't like to be busy with those things." Li Gensheng agreed.
"If I want to accept apprentices, do I need to redesign the clinic and build it bigger? Then let Uncle Liang arrange those who want to become my apprentices in advance!" Guo'er felt that the newly built clinic was big enough, but she had to ask her grandfather for his opinion.
"No need. The current place is enough. When the time comes, let them build a dormitory building for the apprentices to live in." Li Gensheng said after careful consideration.
"Okay, then I'll talk to Uncle Liang and let him do it!" Selecting people takes time, and it also depends on their political background.
"Well, you notify them!" Li Gensheng quickly agreed. It was great to be a hands-off boss. He didn't have to worry about anything.
Guoer immediately contacted Liang Hong and told him what her grandfather meant, asking him to prepare for the selection.
Liang Hong naturally agreed to send the person with great joy, and also said that he would apply for benefits for Li Gensheng from the higher authorities, including applying for money from the state to build a clinic and dormitory building.
Guo'er did not refuse either. This was a benefit applied for her grandfather, and she had no right to refuse on his behalf.
Besides, grandpa has also contributed to the country, so he deserves to apply for welfare.
