Time was running out and no one in the family had prepared any food. Some families even asked their children to cook sweet potatoes and bring them over.
The white flour buns and pickles brought by Grandma Bai became the most delicious meal at this time.
Otherwise, it is said that working consumes a lot of physical energy. This is why people have to give the laborers in the family solid rice during the autumn harvest.
After working for a whole morning, Tang Wan felt like she could eat three steamed buns in one go.
It's cool under the big tree, and many people are eating here now.
The villagers didn't care much about it. They just took off their shoes, put them under their buttocks, sat down and started eating.
If you eat dry food, water is essential.
The water that Grandma Bai brought in the morning was almost gone. After Tang Wan finished eating, she took out the jar that she had just filled with spiritual spring water and gave it to Grandma Bai to drink. She also divided one third of the water from Qin Zheng's jar.
"Why divide it? Just let A Zheng fill the bucket." said Grandma Bai.
"He hasn't finished his meal yet. Each of you can take a couple of sips to quench your thirst first, and then fill up the jar when you get up." Tang Wan handed the water to the two of them and only felt relieved after watching them drink it.
The spiritual spring water worked quickly. After drinking it, Grandma Bai sighed, "It's much better to drink some water and take a break. I'm old now, and I really can't keep up with this work."
"You should also be careful when you work. There are so many young people in the village. A little bit of care doesn't matter. You should put your health first." Tang Wan advised after hearing Grandma Bai's words.
Even though Grandma Bai always drank spiritual spring water and was in much better health than people of her age, she had suffered in the past and had chronic illnesses, so Tang Wan was always worried about her.
"I know what's going on," Grandma Bai reassured Tang Wan. "The work we do isn't that hard. We're older now, not as tall as we used to be. Even picking corn requires lifting our hands, so it's not that tiring."
Grandma Bai's little joke made the atmosphere a little better.
The meal was almost over, Qin Zheng filled his glass with water and went out immediately.
The same goes for other people.
Even a lazy person would drool after finishing his meal and go to bed without being urged.
It was even hotter at noon, and beads of sweat kept sliding from my head into my eyes, making me feel astringent.
In the afternoon, Qin Zheng stopped carrying the corn from the area that Tang Wan was in charge of, and no one knew where he was.
There will be some episodes during the busy competition.
Tang Wan seemed to hear a faint noise while working, but she did not have the energy or time to pay attention to it.
It was not until I met Luo Ying on the way to Chongguanshui that I realized that the noisy sound was actually caused by a pregnant woman giving birth in the village.
When she was breaking corn, she gave birth to a boy.
When Tang Wan heard what Luo Ying said, she even forgot to drink the water that was near her mouth.
"Born directly from the ground?"
Perhaps Tang Wan's surprise satisfied Luo Ying's desire to share, and Luo Ying came closer and told her about her situation.
Pregnant women are not a very special group at this time. When a family has at least three children, pregnancy is actually a common thing, and it does not mean that they should stop working in the fields because of this.
However, it is not common to give birth directly in the ground.
Luo Ying said that the woman only said she felt stomach pain at the time, and gave birth before she even got to the ground.
Fortunately, the village midwife was near her and cut the umbilical cord.
Tang Wan had only read online about her mother-in-law saying that she worked while pregnant, but she never imagined that she really gave birth to her child while working in the fields.
It's really hard to imagine.
