Eating big melon is so refreshing
Chapter 21 Threshing Machine
"Grandpa, the shoddy tool my brother made is falling apart." Xiao Chunya complained first, as if she had no part in the making of the thresher.
Xiao Qiulin was not carrying the pot, and he said in a wronged voice, "At the beginning, I said that the position of the main shaft was not straight and stable. You also contributed to it. How can you blame me for it falling apart?"
Zhao Bei looked at the wheat in the vines and took a breath. It would take only fifteen minutes at most to carry all the wheat home, but he was able to thresh two loads of wheat?
Zhao Erlang explained awkwardly that the thresher had fallen apart, and the two children felt embarrassed and wronged and started crying.
Zhao Bei consoled him, "Our kid is really smart. He can make such a magical tool at the age of four. Don't worry, when you have time the day after tomorrow, just ask your uncle to fix it."
"Father, I don't even understand the principle of the thresher, how can I repair it?" Zhao Sanlang was making wheat threshers in the corner. Hearing this, he quickly replied, "I need to read a lot of books to know how to make it."
Zhao Bei was angry and helpless. Among his sons, only the second one worked as Zhao Ming's servant for three years. The other sons only studied in the village school for half a year and knew a few characters.
After crying for a while, Xiao Chunya felt that it was meaningless, so she stopped crying, got up from the ground and ran into the house.
Xiao Qiulin also got up from the ground and said, "Grandpa, I will get you a new thresher next year. You can use this one as firewood after it is scrapped."
"Don't burn it, keep it as a souvenir." Zhao Bei said, "This is a very meaningful thing." Find a skilled craftsman to repair it, maybe it can still be used.
Xiao Qiulin didn't think much about it. He walked to Zhao Sanlang, squatted down and corrected him for making a mistake in the steps.
There was the sound of horse hooves at the door, followed by Eighteen's voice, "Miss Chun'er, Master Qiu'er."
"Eighteen! Eighteen, why are you here?" Little Chunya ran out from inside, and a gust of wind blew by. Recently, she followed Eighteen to practice Qinggong, and she didn't lose any weight, but she did become very fast.
"Thresher! Eighteen, Master Mingyue, you are here to slap me in the face, right? The thresher my brother and I made just fell apart, so I'll ask you to deliver this enhanced version to my doorstep."
"This thresher was clearly made by Nineteen and I, and the one made by Young Master also fell apart."
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Chunya smiled happily. They were all poor students and no one had the right to criticize the other. "Shi Ba, you are amazing. How much is this thresher?"
"Ten boxes of hardcover editions of Huarong Dao."
"make a deal."
Xiao Chunya ran back like the wind and brought out a bunch of small rice dumplings. "Shi Ba, the rice dumplings my grandma made are delicious."
"I happened to be hungry and was eating on the way. It's getting late, so I have to go back."
"Be careful on the road and have a safe trip."
Xiao Chunya's voice sounded, "Come quickly, brother, let's carry this big guy in."
Several uncles came out and saw that the thresher, which was made of solid wood, was really a big one.
"I'll crank the handle!"
"I'll plant the wheat!"
Zhao Bei watched his sons working fiercely and saw a small mountain of wheat piled up under the vines in a short time. He was speechless for a long time.
The news that Zhao Bei's family had a thresher after the wheat thresher quickly spread throughout Zhaojia Village. That night, the lights were bright and there was an endless stream of visitors who were reluctant to leave.
★★★
I had a good night's sleep. I thought I would suffer from insomnia because I was too tired. I went to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening. There was no entertainment in the village, so people usually went to bed before 9 o'clock in the evening.
When Xiaoqiu was about to get up, she saw her sister still sleeping soundly. She felt itchy and pinched her sister's face. The chubby face felt very good.
Xiao Chunya was woken up. She pounced on her brother and tickled his armpits. The ticklish Xiao Qiulin surrendered while laughing.
Hearing the laughter in the house, Jiang glanced out the window and walked in. "Stop making noise, it's time to get up." It was already late at this time, and the two little ones were the only ones in the family who hadn't gotten up yet.
After combing her hair, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. Today's breakfast was white rice porridge with pickled mustard tubers. Zhao Yang asked Jiang to fry two eggs specially for the two little ones.
"Mother, why is the house so quiet? Where is our thresher? Was it carried away last night?"
How is this possible? Zhao Bei regarded the thresher as more important than the cow. Naturally, all the wheat in Zhao Bei's house was threshed. Zhao Nan asked someone to carry the big machine to his house for use first.
There was only one thresher, and many families could not get a chance to use it, but they were happy to be able to use the thresher to harvest the wheat, so every household was full of energy as if they were energized.
Zhao Bei's family lives a tight life and is usually taken care of by his three brothers and the village chief. Last night, people were harvesting wheat for their family, so today, the father and his sons went to other people's fields to help harvest wheat.
"Xiaoqing is only one year old, and he also goes to the fields to pick up wheat ears?" When Xiao Chunya heard that Zhao Daniu took his younger brothers to the wheat fields to pick up wheat ears, her eyes widened when she thought of her cousin's age.
Jiang's eyes darkened and she said, "Your fourth aunt has also carried the children to the wheat field. You and Aunt will go and bring them some water later."
The children in the village usually get up at 6:30 in the morning. Today they got up even earlier to harvest wheat because the sun is too strong and working for a long time will easily lead to heatstroke.
After breakfast, the two children poured the cooled water from the pot into the water jar. In order to return to the village to participate in the wheat harvest this time, they prepared several gourds to store water, which now came in handy.
Xiao Qiulin diluted the water in the space and put it in a water jar or gourd. Xiao Chunya put salt in the water. In such a hot sun, drinking more salt water can easily make you exhausted and have no strength.
"How do I get it?"
The tool shed was empty, without even a cart. In the cowshed, there was a cow eating grass.
"Hey, I have an idea."
Xiao Chunya found two small backpacks, put the water jars in them, and the brother and sister carried the backpacks and walked out.
"Mother, you have to stay and watch over the house. Be careful that the cow doesn't run away."
There are all kinds of people in the village, but there is no one at home. What if a thief comes in and steals the cow?
Zhao Yang rushed home on time and saw from afar two little children in bright clothes carrying baskets on their backs heading towards the wheat field. She was unable to react for a moment.
When Zhao Yang returned home, she saw Jiang feeding the cows with grass. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked
"Where are Xiaochun'er and Xiaoqiu'er from the second family?"
"Mom, they went to deliver water."
Jiang was very happy to see her mother-in-law coming back. She said, "Mom, you stay at home and look after the cows. I'll go to the wheat field."
"How can you let the two little ones go to the wheat field in such a hot sun? You stay at home to look after the cows. I can run faster." Zhao Yang slapped her forehead. She should have reacted when she saw the two children just now. How could her little darlings, who were so delicate and tender, endure such hardship!
