A car accident, our family of three crossed

After everyone arrived, they started eating under a makeshift awning.

Wang Jin first laid a thick mat with straw for his young wife to sit on. Then he asked his young wife and mother-in-law and learned that they had already eaten. Only then did he start eating.

He ate very quickly. Seeing this, Sun Baomei quickly poured him a bowl of water and handed it to him, "Brother Jin, eat slowly and drink some water."

Wang Jin turned his head and let her feed him half a bowl of water with her hand, then turned around and continued eating.

Sun Baomei saw beads of sweat on his forehead, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped it for him. The young couple showed their affection as if no one was around, which made everyone else jealous.

Sun Lei's mother poked her husband beside her, then raised her chin and motioned him to look at the sister and brother-in-law opposite.

Sun Xi took a look, but didn't understand. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sun Lei's mother glared at him unhappily and said, "It's okay, just eat."

After being yelled at for no reason, Sun Xilai scratched his head in confusion. How had he offended her?

Sun Qinglai, a shrewd man, saw everything and found it somewhat funny, but he did not say anything. He guessed that his elder brother would have no chance of touching his wife tonight.

The family quickly finished their lunch, sat down on the field to rest for a while, chatted with each other, and then continued to work in the fields.

Everyone started to work, and Sun Baomei couldn't help much by staying here, so she cleaned up the dishes and got on Sun Qinglai's donkey cart that was carrying the grain and went back.

In the field, Aunt Sun pushed Uncle Sun aside and went to experience the convenience of the thresher.

She had been itching to do some work for a long time. She had been thinking about it since she went to work in the fields in the morning. However, she didn't expect that all the work would be snatched away by the group of onlookers and it was never her turn. Now only her family members were left in the fields, so she had the final say.

"Oh my! This thing is really good!" Aunt Sun praised it while threshing the rice. In previous years, it took us two days to harvest the grain. This year, with this thing, I think we can finish harvesting it all today. Threshing is good, and it really saves a lot of trouble!"

"What do you think Shuheng has such a good brain? He can think of something like this and make it. This is a convenience for us farmers!"

After praising them, she couldn't help but complain about her own family, "Unlike you, being tall and strong is useless, you only have a lot of strength but a poor brain, there's nothing you can do, you can only be a laborer."

After saying this, she realized something was wrong and quickly said to Wang Jin, "Um, son-in-law! I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about the three of them."

Wang Jin nodded to show that he understood and couldn't help laughing. His mother-in-law was just a good talker but she was actually a very nice person.

Uncle Sun and Sun Xilai just smiled at her words and did not refute her. After all, she was right. They were destined to be hard laborers and did not have such smart brains.

But Sun Qinglai was a little unconvinced. After all, he was doing technical work in the workshop, and it was not hard labor.

Although his brain is not comparable to that of Shuheng, he thinks he is quite flexible and not just strong! He also designs some of the woodworking in the workshop!

However, he would not be stupid enough to use these words to retort to his old mother, for he was afraid that if he refuted her, she would refute him even more.

In the afternoon, there were still people coming to watch the fun, but not as many as in the morning.

When everyone saw the Sun family's progress in harvesting, they couldn't help but be amazed.

In previous years, it would take two days to harvest such a large amount of land, not to mention the tedious and lengthy process of sending the grain to the threshing ground for crushing, pounding and threshing.

But now, looking at this situation, it can be harvested completely within today! When the rice was harvested, it was also threshed. Most of the rice had been transported to the threshing ground and dried for most of the day. This was incredible.

When I think about it this way, renting a threshing truck for thirty copper coins is really worth the money.

After watching the Sun family harvest rice on that day, many families gradually leaned towards the former, comparing the choice of renting a thresher instead of following the old process.

After the Sun family harvested the rice, they went to He Dazhu's house two days later.

He Dazhu's family does not have as many people as the Sun family. Including Xiaohe, who is not very good at farm work, there are only four adults.

Therefore, they only rented a thresher. He Dazhu and the two elders were responsible for harvesting the rice, while Xiao He was responsible for threshing the rice.

Their land was also not as large as the Sun family's. No matter how hard the family tried, they still couldn't harvest all the rice in one day.

The weather is just right now, and the sunshine is plenty. As long as it is dried in the sun for three to five days, it can be stored in our own granary.

This year's autumn harvest, after the Sun family and He Dazhui's family made a good start, in the following days, the rice of other families also came to be harvested one after another.

Those who had been waiting and watching for the threshers, hoping to take advantage of them, now saw that they could not get any advantage and that it was time to harvest their own rice, so they had to go to the head of the village in shame, pay the rent and set a date for the rental.

Of course, there were a very small number of families who, because they had little land, were reluctant to spend the thirty copper coins, and so they just harvested the rice and transported it back to the threshing ground as they did in the past, and then pulled the ox cart around and around to thresh the rice, and in the end the whole family was exhausted.

They had done the same thing in previous years and didn't feel anything was wrong. Perhaps it was because of the threshing truck today, which was in sharp contrast to the ease with which most people were doing it, they felt that this year's work was even more tiring than in previous years.

So they began to reflect, why should they work themselves to death just to save those thirty copper coins? Isn't this just suffering?

After reflection, they made up their minds that when they harvested grain next year, they would not save the money anymore. Some money had to be spent.
