Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

After exercising, the three brothers and sisters had dinner in the kitchen and then started to work together.

The rice in the front and back yards needs to be dried on bamboo mats in the morning and harvested in the evening. During the day, the sun is strong and the rice needs to be turned over and dried.

Tingsong is in charge of the grains in the front yard, while the siblings are responsible for the backyard. The workload is heavy and the task is arduous.

Biyue asked Tingwei to help the eldest brother, saying that she could do it alone. The third brother was unwilling to do so, so Biyue threatened him, saying, "If you don't go, you won't get any delicious food in the future. Think about it."

"I'll go, can you do it alone?"

Biyue lifted the 50-pound bag with one hand, lifted it easily, and put it down steadily.

Tingwei covered his mouth with his hands and looked at his second sister in surprise. This was not something a little girl of 5 years old could do. His second sister was born with supernatural powers. It was so shocking. Whoever messed with her in the future would definitely suffer the consequences.

He immediately nodded in agreement and ran to the front yard.

A few minutes later, Tingwei and Hanjinjin's eldest brother walked in together, followed by the two little ones.

"Sister, the third brother said you can do it by yourself. I can't move it by myself. Put it in a basin first and then pour it on the bamboo mat. There is not much left before you lift it all up. The third brother can help you faster. We need to dry all the rice before the sun comes out."

Bi Yue reluctantly walked to the woodshed and carried two large bags of rice, about 100 jin. The four of them were all shocked. The eldest brother, the fourth and the fifth were even more shocked than the third brother when they first saw this.

The eldest brother thought: This sister is incredible. Should I tell the elders at home? She is so awesome.

"Sister, will it hurt your body to lift such a heavy weight?"

I didn’t expect that my eldest brother would ask this first. He is such a good brother. He doesn’t waste the milk and spring water every night.

"No, if it really hurts my body, I won't do this. Now I believe it. Go to the front yard."

So the four brothers went to the front yard.

Biyue shuttled back and forth on the prepared bamboo mat like a little bee, pouring bags of rice on them. After all the rice was poured out, she used a long bamboo pole to spread out the grains and even them out so that every grain could receive sunlight.

Biyue wiped the sweat from her face and neck with the towel around her waist, and walked towards the front yard after finishing her work.

The two brothers in the front yard hadn't finished yet, but their sister joined in and finished it in less than ten minutes.

"Brother, this rice needs to be dried for a few days. This is the rice harvested yesterday, and there is also today's."

"There is still a lot of room for drying in the front and back yards today. We can squeeze in all the 20 acres to dry them. We will also have to wait for the 10 acres in the back to dry before we collect them and dry them again."

Biyue walked to the well to pour water, away from the two brothers, and quietly asked the system: "How is the weather these days?"

"It won't rain until ten days later, don't worry."

not worried.

The eldest brother went to the kitchen, cleaned a large pot and poured water into it. Biyue went to light the fire. The eldest brother took a large bowl and went to the warehouse behind the kitchen to get half a bowl of mung beans, which he washed and soaked outside.

"You go and rest, I'll light the fire."

"Brother, I can do it. Go wash your face and take a rest."

"I'm going to go drink some water. Call me later."

"Okay, brother."

It's really hot to burn fire in this summer. The fire from the stove is facing my face and neck, and the sweat I just sweated out comes out again.

Bi Yue took out a bottle of ice water, opened it and started drinking. The hot feeling subsided a little after drinking the ice water. It was not easy to make a fire in the summer.

The third brother is like a follower. He comes looking for the second sister as soon as he misses her. There's nothing he can do about it because the second sister has good things.

"Call the eldest brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother over here."

Seeing Tingwei running out happily, Biyue asked the system to tear off the packaging of the three bottles of ice water.

The four brothers came in, handed them two bottles of water, and took two small bowls and poured ice water into them and said to them:

"Give me the bottle when you're done."

Just drink it, don't ask.

Tingsong gave up the idea of ​​asking and planned to talk about this matter with his grandmother tonight.

In such a hot day, grandparents, parents can all drink ice water, and you can put ice basins in their rooms so they can have a good rest at night.

Biyue poured the soaked mung beans into the pot, covered it with a lid, and continued to keep the fire burning.

Tingwei came in and brought two bottles and said, "I'll light the fire, you take a rest, second sister."

"Ok."

By this time the sun has risen and the temperature is slowly starting to rise. With such good sunshine the grains should be dry within two days.

Biyue went back to her room to turn on the fan and lay on the straw mat, feeling very comfortable. Thinking of the elders in the fields, she felt more comfortable as a child.

After half an hour, the mung bean water is ready and put into the pot to simmer.

Fourth uncle drove back a cart full of rice, entered the yard, and moved the bags one by one to the ground and piled them on the open space.

He drove the cow to a shady place, fetched water from the well for himself, and also got a basin of water for the cow.

I ran out of the house, saw my fourth uncle and asked:

"Uncle, it will take a few days to harvest all the rice at home."

"According to the current progress, the harvest can be completed in three days."

During these three days, I worked from 6 am to around 12 noon, and from 14:18 pm to pm. The labor intensity was extremely high.

Fortunately, I have secretly put a lot of spiritual spring water in the kitchen water tank in recent months, and the elders in my family are in good health.

My fourth uncle helped scoop up the mung bean water and put it in a cool place, then drove the ox cart to the field.
