A car accident, our family of three crossed

"Our family! I guess we'll have to wait another three to five days. Once the ground is dry, it won't be so hard to work."

"That's true." Uncle Sun nodded.

At this time, the village head came out of the house with a pen and paper and said, "This year, the rice from your two families matured the earliest, so you two families will be the first to use this handy tool."

"Not only did your two families' rice mature early, but the harvest was also very good. With your two families taking the lead, it is also a good omen for a bumper harvest."

Any farmer would feel extremely happy to hear these words.

That evening, Uncle Sun and He Dazhu stayed at the headman's house for a long time and did not leave until it was almost dark.

Both of them agreed on a date to rent a thresher with the village head and paid the rent on the spot. The village head recorded the dates they harvested rice in a book, along with the amount of rent they collected.

After all, there is still a share from the old patriarch's family, so we have to settle the accounts so that the two families can settle accounts in the future.

The primary school in the village was on holiday recently, but Song Ning was very busy. She went to the temporary embroidery workshop in the village every day to work with everyone and guide everyone on the details of clothing styles.

The shop in the county has been renovated by itself, and can be opened at any time as long as the goods arrive.

Therefore, the girls and aunts in the embroidery workshop have been very busy these days in order to deliver the goods.

Song Ning promised that after this busy period, when the shop opened, he would give red envelopes to everyone. This made all the women and girls very happy, and they worked even harder.

Unfortunately, the embroidery workshop's busiest time coincided with the busy farming season. For rural families, harvesting grain was a top priority.

Song Ning was not an unsympathetic person. She saw that those aunts were embarrassed to talk to her about it, but when they were working, they were thinking about the fields at home, which slowed down the progress of their work.

So, during the lunch break that day, she took the initiative to bring it up, "While everyone is here, let me say a few words! Now we have entered the busy farming season, and every household will be harvesting grain at any time. When your family is harvesting grain, you can tell me and I will give you a day off to go home and help."

Since the training in the embroidery workshop ended and the official start of production, everyone had lunch together in the workshop at noon. Mrs. Xu or Mrs. Liu took turns to help prepare lunch for everyone every day.

Everyone was originally thinking about their families and the food in the fields, and were a little absent-minded in their work. After hearing what Song Ning said, they suddenly felt embarrassed again.

They come to work and are already paid, but they are always thinking about their families and neglecting the things at hand, which makes them feel bad.

"Well, Shuheng's wife, if we all go back home to harvest food during the holiday, who will do the work here?"

Song Ning smiled, "Grain is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than harvesting grain. It will only take a few days, so it won't delay anything. Besides, don't we still have us?"

"Shuheng's wife! You are really... really kind-hearted. We would like to thank you in advance! When the family decides on the day to harvest the grain, we will tell you in advance."

Song Ning nodded and urged, "Okay, let's eat! After eating, take a good rest, move around, and relax your eyes."

After all, it's needlework, sitting for a long time, and using the eyes for a long time, so you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

Song Ning even taught everyone to do eye exercises. The women and girls didn't understand what the point was, but they followed suit because it looked interesting.

After finishing the eye exercises, someone said in surprise: "Oh! You know what, it feels quite comfortable after doing this!"

Song Ning explained: "We do this to relieve eye fatigue. We all do needlework and use our eyes for a long time, so we always need to relieve it."

"Shuheng, you really know a lot."

Facing the praise from the aunts, Song Ning just smiled and said casually: "I learned it all from books."

"Why else would they say that studying is useful? Isn't it true that studying is useful? How can we, who have never been to school, understand this?"

"That's right. In our village, only Shuheng and his wife are educated."

A group of people chatted and laughed, and the leisure time passed. After a good rest, they started to get busy again.

Ever since Song Ning said that they could take a leave to go home and help during the busy farming season, Sun Lei's mother was the first to bring it up the next day. In two days, their family would be harvesting rice.

As soon as this was said, Xiao He also said: "Our family harvests two days later than the Sun family."

They only found out about the confirmed date after they got home from work last night.

The other women whose rice harvest was not so fast, when they heard them talking about it, all said: "This year's grain harvest in our village is the best in your two families. The rice grains are so full that the rice ears are almost unable to hold up."

"Of course I did. I saw it when I went to the fields. The rice is growing really well! Both your families have had a bumper harvest this year!"

Who wouldn't like to hear such nice words? Sun Lei's mother was very happy to hear them and reciprocated the favor. "Oh! Thanks to the good words from the aunts. The crops in your families are growing very well."

Soon it was the day for the Sun family to harvest grain. Early in the morning, many people came to the Sun family's field to watch the fun. All of them came for the threshing cart.

Since the Sun family was the first in the village to collect grain, the two threshing carts were idle. Uncle Sun waved his hand and rented two directly from the head of the village, spending a total of sixty copper coins.

At this moment, the people who came to watch the fun in the village saw the two threshing carts parked in the field, and someone immediately said sourly: "Oh, this Sun family is really generous! Sixty copper coins at a time."

When the people of the Sun family heard this, they pretended not to hear it. The family was not short of those dozens of copper coins now. If they spent a few copper coins, they could collect the grain earlier, dry it and store it well. Wouldn't that be much safer than doing it slowly?

It wasn't just the villagers who came to watch the fun. Old Jiang and his three sons also came. They wanted to witness with their own eyes the value of something they had made.

In addition, among the people who came to watch the fun, there was the envious shopkeeper Zhou, as well as Master Liu and a few children including Mudun, who were currently at the edge of the field, staring eagerly at the Sun family who were harvesting in the field.
