Chapter 58 Harvesting Rice
There were two iron pots and one casserole pot, all of which were used to cook.
There weren't so many bowls, so everyone contributed together, eating one after another, and everyone had the porridge.
This fire burned down everyone's homes and also burned down their hopes. As the fire raged and the smoke billowed, they watched helplessly as everything they owned was burned to ashes, their hearts filled with helplessness and despair.
In this most difficult moment, they did not give up, but supported each other and moved forward together. Everyone knows that only by uniting as one can they get out of the predicament. Sitting together, drinking this bowl of hot corn porridge, their hearts are filled with comfort, gratitude and sincere awe for life.
Everyone ate everything.
After the arrangement of the village head, everyone went to the fields to harvest rice.
Zhao Qiqi also went to the fields to help, but Su Zijin stopped her and said, "Aunt, I can go too."
After what happened last night, Su Zijin felt more deeply about the sufferings of the people. He was also deeply touched to see everyone struggling hard for survival.
"You are still young, and the leaves in the rice fields are very sharp. Auntie knows that you are kind-hearted. Can you and Yan Yiyunyun help Auntie and Uncle build a thatched house at home?"
While some people went to the fields to harvest rice, others stayed to build houses.
They are basically children, women and older people who have experience in construction.
After all, you have to take care of both food and accommodation.
Su Zijin lowered his head in frustration and said "OK". Butler Su was happy. Fortunately, the little ancestor did not go with him, otherwise he would be in trouble if he got bumped into something.
"Sir, I'm glad you're okay. We'll go back first. The government will handle the affairs of Gujia Village."
Su Zijin ignored him. Zhao Qiqi found it a little strange. After such a big thing happened, the Su family didn't even take the people back, but were in a hurry to leave.
What's the big deal?
"Lanlan, don't go there or do anything. Just stay at home and we'll deal with your affairs when we come back after we're done."
As soon as Zhao Qiqi said this, Gu Yansui said nervously: "Mom, what's wrong with my wife?"
Yunyun, who knew the inside story, burst out laughing: "Don't be nervous, brother, nothing bad has happened to my sister-in-law, just go and ask."
Hu Lan, who was shy at the side, felt a little embarrassed when she was mentioned. With so many people present, she whispered to Gu Yansui, "My aunt said that I might be pregnant."
Gu Yansui hugged her excitedly, but was pushed away by Hu Lan: "You, you are so shameless, go to the fields quickly."
"Hey." Gu Yansui smiled so hard that his face seemed to be broken. This was a great thing.
"Mom, let's go quickly."
The idea is to go there quickly and come back quickly.
Zhao Qiqi also knew what he was thinking: "Okay, take everything with you."
It should indeed be done faster. It is best to harvest the rice before the sun comes out, and then thresh the rice and put it out to dry in the sun.
Gu Yansui and Zhao Qiqi were working on one acre of land, and Gu Yantang and Gu Yanyan were working on another acre. It would take about two hours for one person to finish mowing one acre of land, but now two people worked in a group and it only took one hour.
Although Zhao Qiqi is a novice in this area, it does not hinder Gu Yansui's enthusiasm to go back early. After all, Hu Lan's condition is still unstable and needs to be checked by a doctor.
An acre of good land can produce 300 kilograms, but their acre of land is not so good, so it can only produce 250 kilograms. In addition, the rice is not yet mature, so the yield has to be reduced by another 50 to 100 kilograms.
Put all the rice into the basket, it is full of heavy rice, which makes people happy just by looking at it.
Gu Yansui picked up two baskets with a bamboo pole and headed home.
On the way, we also met many families who had just harvested rice, and their faces were filled with joy of the harvest.
After all, there is a harvest. It is better to have something than nothing. If you eat less, maybe you can survive.
The rice was poured into the yard to dry, and the people who were originally in the yard were also resettled. The remaining one-third of the houses each housed one or two families.
The second and third branches of the Gu family, including the old lady, naturally all live in Zhao Qiqi's house.
Xiang looked at the shabby little house with a frown on her face. As soon as she entered, there was a strong smell of mold. In the past, she laughed at her sister-in-law for wanting to live in such a house. But now, things have changed and she is allowed to live here.
It was really suffocating, but she couldn't say anything!
Erzhu and Sanzhu were arranged to share a room with Gu Yantang and Gu Yanyi, Dazhu shared a room with Gu Yanyan and Su Zijin, and Xiaocao and Xiaohua shared a room with Gu Yunyun.
Xiang looked at Zhao Qiqi's new room with resentment. It was so spacious and tidy. Last time, she secretly went to Zhao Qiqi's room to lie down. She didn't know what was on the bed, but it was so comfortable!
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you clean up over there?" Old Mrs. Gu scolded her. The men were harvesting rice, so it would be fine if she didn't go, but she should at least sweep the vacant land in the backyard first so that she could dry the rice later.
The rice from Zhao Qiqi's family has been dried in the yard.
Old Mrs. Gu sighed secretly. The eldest daughter-in-law was lazy before, how come she is so capable now? Look at the second daughter-in-law, not only is she noisy all day long, but she also just knows how to be lazy!
It’s really annoying that every time I have to scold them before I know to work.
They were so worried. The old house was burned down. Fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law came to inform them and took away the money in advance, otherwise, they would not even have the money to rebuild the house.
Xiang went to the back of the house and found that all the vegetable seedlings planted there had been burned. She guessed that what was originally planted here were probably peppers.
Because these seedlings were the same as the pepper seedlings she saw in the yard, she didn't know what to feel.
She felt a little gloating, but also a little regretful. If it hadn't been burned, when Zhao Qiqi sold it and got the money, she would definitely urge the old lady to ask her for it back.
Then learn how to grow peppers.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Chili peppers were such a profitable business. There was no way Zhao Qiqi would not continue to do it. Now she knew that these were chili peppers. When Zhao Qiqi planted them, she could come and learn. It would be no problem to steal some seeds.
If Zhao Qiqi is on guard against her, she can also let Xiaohua and Xiaocao come over and learn.
Xiang was very happy in her heart, and the unhappiness on her face disappeared. She even laughed out loud, as if she had a lot of money in her hands at this moment.
After Zhao Qiqi finished his work elsewhere, he came to the few acres of land at the back. He didn't feel anything before, but now he feels very heartbroken.
The total cost of time, labor and seedlings is indeed a considerable loss.
If she didn't have these pepper seedlings, she wouldn't dare to supply them to Zuixianju openly.
I'm afraid we have to stop for a while, but that's okay, the time for Zuixianju to buy out the rights to purchase chili peppers in a month has also come.
She plans to expand production and stop signing these contracts with Zuixianju.
The leaves are burned into ash, the only benefit is that it can increase soil fertility.
Their family now has eight acres of land, six of which are close to the yard, and she plans to plant peppers on all of it.
"Second brother and sister."
