Chapter 250 Tired but Happy May
The May sunshine was like a fire roasting the wheat, making it even more golden. The people harvesting the wheat were also roasted red, and the men's skin turned red and black in just two or three days.
But the initial sense of novelty has long since disappeared, and I am left worrying that my skin will become dark and red like men's, which would be so ugly. She applied a thick layer of sunscreen every day, but her skin became darker day by day. She missed the skin she had in her previous life so much.
Ziyi felt sorry for Yike and always found excuses to ask Yike to boil water to soak mint or make mung bean soup. Finally, Yike felt embarrassed to be lazy because even Chen Fugui, Hu Fangfang and Hu Lili, who were younger than her, were picking wheat ears in the wheat field.
However, she made a straw hat that night that was surrounded by cloth, and also made a pair of gloves with only the fingers exposed. Although it was hotter to wrap herself tightly, it was better than being tanned into charcoal.
When she was making it, she taught a few girls and also contributed cloth, so that everyone worked together. The next day the men discovered the strangeness of the women and found that they were all hiding in cloth bags.
Ma Youcai, Wang Feng and others came into the mountains on the third day after Ziyi harvested wheat, and Li Haoran also came back with them.
It turned out that they were all busy harvesting in the production team, so they were late in entering the mountains.
In fact, Ma Youcai had wanted to go into the mountains half a month ago. He already knew why his wife left him and followed Yike into the mountains.
He followed Ziyi's advice and asked his grandmother and uncles how couples should get along with each other. Only then did his uncles tell him how wrong he was and that what his previous friends said was wrong.
Ma Youcai wanted to go into the mountains to apologize to his wife, because he also missed her, but he didn't dare to go into the mountains alone. Finally, he waited until everyone went into the mountains together, and then he saw his wife.
As soon as Ma Youcai saw Han Guihua, he rushed over and yelled. He ran to his wife, hugged her waist and said, "Wife, I miss you so much. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please don't abandon me, okay? I will listen to you in everything from now on, tell you everything, discuss everything with you, and help with all the housework. Please don't leave me, okay? Wife!"
But I didn't expect that as soon as they arrived, I would eat such a big melon. If she wasn't still in the field, she would have wanted to pick up a handful of melon seeds, sit on a small stool and watch carefully.
Ziyi watched Ma Youcai begging his wife for forgiveness, and thought to himself that this brother was not that stupid and could continue to be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
If Ma Youcai heard that his most trusted elder brother almost didn't take him out to play, he would probably be heartbroken. This is really a typical case of forgetting his brothers after getting a wife.
Wang Feng, Dong Guoqing and Liu Bing were happy about the good wheat harvest, but they were shocked by Ma Youcai's move. They didn't know what was going on. I had no choice but to come here to ask.
Yike was enjoying watching the melon, and when she saw someone coming to pry about the inside story, she was about to gossip as well, but she saw Ziyi shaking his head slightly at her. She had no choice but to roll up her tongue again, and the words that rolled down her throat went back into her stomach one by one.
How the situation developed later and whether Ma Youcai was able to obtain Han Guihua's forgiveness, but the spectators only saw the beginning and the end, and the two of them violated the rules in the process - they hid back home and did not see it.
Ziyi, the culprit who caused the two people to violate the rules, asked Ma Youcai and the other person to go home and talk.
Ziyi did not feel guilty at all for hindering Yi Ke's interest in watching the melons. Instead, he was happy about the arrival of Wang Feng and the others.
As for the outcome of the negotiations between Ma Youcai and Han Guihua, it can be seen from Han Guihua's rosy face that Ma Youcai won a great victory this time.
Once Li Haoran, Ma Youcai and others came back, there were more people, so a few people could be left at home to thresh the wheat in the wheat field.
Ox carts carried the wheat to the threshing ground, and the cart drivers, Du Jiankang and Li Xiaoshan unloaded the wheat in bundles from the carts.
Yike, Wuniu and Liuniu spread the wheat in an even layer. After one or two hours of scorching sun, Du Jiankang and Li Xiaoshan drove the oxen to pull the stone mill to thresh the grains over and over again. After the top layer was almost crushed, Yike, Wuniu and Liuniu turned the wheat straw over, while Du Jiankang and Li Xiaoshan drove the oxen and the stone mill to continue crushing. The threshing of wheat is completed when there is no more wheat on both sides.
At this time, Du Jiankang and Li Xiaoshan drove the oxen and pulled the stone mill to the other side to crush the wheat there.
Yike, Wuniu and Liuniu picked up the wheat straw with wooden forks and piled it up in layers at the edge of the threshing floor.
Han Guihua, Sanniu and Sijie quickly piled the wheat grains aside to make room for more drying. After drying, the three of them packed the wheat grains into bags.
Yike, Wuniu and Liuniu went to the other side to turn over the wheat stalks and collect the straw. The people in the threshing yard were busy and sweating profusely, and the people in the wheat fields were also working hard.
The wheat harvest this year is so good that farmer Du Qingcang said, "He has been farming for decades and has never seen wheat growing so well. This acre of land can yield at least 250 kilograms, almost double what it used to yield." Li Youcai and Hu Haohan's families also came to help them harvest, as they had already finished their own harvest.
Li Youcai said that several of their families only earn a little over 100 yuan per acre of land, and the grains are not as big and full as these. They are very envious and say that they will learn from them to make more organic fertilizers and use them to grow crops in the future.
The wheat has been harvested, and it is time to harvest sorghum and corn. May is a tiring yet happy month.
