Everyone knows that time is running out.
At the end of yesterday, there was still a piece of land that had not been completed, and the corn that had been husked and woven in the threshing floor had not yet been transported to the granary.
Tang Wan also left Grandma Bai alone at home to cook. Tang Wan and Qin Zheng got up and went straight to the toilet without even washing their faces.
It's going to rain soon!
Everyone was on edge, their hands moving so quickly that afterimages were about to appear.
Even the children had stern faces and worked seriously. Even a four-year-old knew what these grains meant.
It means that they may be so hungry that they can’t sleep at night and can only drink water.
It means they don't have to be teased about who has the loudest rumbling stomach when they're hungry.
It means that brothers and sisters in the family will no longer be given away to others.
By the time the last basket of corn was loaded, thunder had already sounded in the sky.
It's like ringing in one's ears, more like a warning.
Time is tight here, so the corn is delivered directly to the granary.
All the corn harvested in the next two days was transported to the granary.
After loading all the corn here and making sure there was no other corn that had not been broken, the rest of the people finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed him to the granary.
The granary was already surrounded by popped corn.
The center was also filled with corn, which had to be peeled to dissipate the heat. The corn was still quite watery and would quickly go bad if piled together.
As the last wave of people stepped into the granary, raindrops as big as beans finally fell.
The crackling sound of wind and rain hitting the dirt road kicked up clouds of dust.
The smell of dust filled everyone's noses, and the stony expression on everyone's faces slowly disappeared. Finally, laughter erupted from nowhere, and loud shouts of "It's all harvested! We won!"
"Win, win!"
“We won!”
Children are most easily infected by such an atmosphere, jumping, clapping and shouting such words.
Finally, a smile appeared on everyone's face. It was a smile of victory, a smile of relief, and a smile of being able to have a full meal.
Soon, the whole granary was filled with laughter.
The old man who was watching the sky from the side of the granary finally smiled. With trembling hands, he took out the pipe from his waist, lit it, and took a deep breath: "These kids!"
Tang Wan was also infected by this joy, and even the fatigue she had felt in the past few days disappeared.
In the crowded granary, everyone had the most sincere smile on their face. Tang Wan saw Qin Zheng in the crowd. Although he still had no expression, Tang Wan felt that his happiness was the same as everyone here.
It was pouring rain outside, and the people working in the granary were chatting and shelling corn.
Compared to the work of the past few days, this is like a break.
It was all done in less than an afternoon.
No matter how much work is left, we have to wait until the weather clears up before we can do it.
Finally I can rest.
Several consecutive days of rainy days disrupted the rhythm of the autumn harvest, but it allowed some people to get what they wanted.
Dongzi has come here several times in the rain in the past two days, secretly wanting to know when Wang Po will be able to help him come to the house to act as a matchmaker.
Grandma Bai couldn't resist his urging, so she went to discuss it with Mrs. Wang even in the rain.
It was decided to set the date after the autumn harvest was completely over, and Dongzi could only wait.
Tang Wan thought that the next happy event would be Luo Ying and Dongzi getting married.
But things always turn out unexpectedly.
