Chapter 73 Summer Harvest
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment before he said "hmm" softly.
Zhang Jinzhi immediately raised three fingers: "Sir, I swear to heaven, if I reveal even a little bit of something bad about An An, I will be struck by lightning and fall into hell forever!"
Zhou Yu turned around and looked at him, but there was no smile on his face. "That's not necessary. You just need to forget all this."
"Yes!" Zhang Jinzhi said immediately, "I didn't know anything in the first place!"
Zhou Yu then chuckled and walked into a house, with Zhang Jinzhi following closely.
In this way, when it was completely dark, they visited four more households and then went to Uncle Chen Jiu's house.
On the way, Zhang Jinzhi said, "It's enough for one of our people to stay behind to help Zhao Jiaxia with the harvest. Let Zhao Hu go with us. Tell others that An An is reluctant to leave his uncle."
After all, Zhou Yu had no relationship with the other person, and it would have a bad influence if he just took the other person's child away like that.
Zhou Yu thought it made sense and agreed.
Uncle Chen Jiu was lying in a rocking chair in the yard, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan to cool off.
He didn't feel it at first, but since Zhou Yu and others moved out, there are no neighbors around him. It's okay during the day, but it's really lonely at night!
When he saw Zhou Yu and the other two, he immediately stood up and asked with a smile, "Master Zhou, Mr. Zhang, why are you here at this time?"
There are not many mosquitoes now, so it's perfect to sit in the yard and chat.
Uncle Chen Jiu gave his rocking chair to Zhou Yu, moved a small stool for Zhang Jinzhi, and sat down on a straw stool himself.
Zhou Yu then said, "I just took a walk around the village with Mr. Zhang, and now the situation of each family has improved a lot."
"Yes, yes," Uncle Chen Jiu couldn't suppress his pride when talking about this, "The people in our village are united!
"As long as we all work together, how can there be any bad things in this life?
"Also, after raising them for more than half a year, people who used to have little strength can now do some work.
"The oldest person in the village now is this old man like me, and the next oldest is the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
"Just the two of us can carry some water! It's just not much, only half a bucket at a time.
"No matter what, I will never hold my fellow villagers back!
"Sister Wang and I have discussed that when the summer harvest comes, one of us will be responsible for spreading the wheat in the threshing ground, and the other will be responsible for delivering water to the villagers.
"During the dog days of summer, if you don't drink enough water, you'll easily get a heat stroke!"
Zhou Yu listened to him with a smile, then said, "I'm going out again tomorrow. This time, Mr. Zhang will stay. I'll leave a few more people with you, one to protect the crops, and the other to help with the summer harvest."
"When the harvest starts, Master Jiu must remember to give me a heads-up.
"I've been going around these past few days. They should be harvesting in our village first. After we finish harvesting here, they can go to the surrounding villages to help."
Uncle Chen Jiu wanted to refuse, but then he thought that it was Lord Zhou's good intention after all, and it was better to put the food in his pockets and keep it safe, so he agreed and thanked him again and again.
Zhou Yu asked about other things in the village, and as the night grew darker, he stood up and said goodbye.
This time, because nothing was announced, no one except the Zhao family came to see him off.
Zhou Yu and his group quietly left Tongshutun before dawn.
At that time, An An was still asleep, so he let Zhao Hu carry him on his back, and his luggage was carried by Xu Xia.
Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying walked back slowly until they could no longer see anyone. Aunt Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, I don't know how long this walk will take... I feel like my heart has been plucked out!"
Qin Ying remained silent, but her heart was filled with sadness.
But I hope their trip goes smoothly and they return soon.
The two of them went home and washed their hands and cooked. They cooked a big pot of porridge, steamed a pot of steamed buns, and cooked another pot of vegetables.
After they had eaten their fill and the food had cooled, they put it in an open jar and hung it in a water tank.
Then he fed the rabbits, put on his straw hat, carried the hoe and the basket, and went to the fields.
It was not their turn to go to the collective fields today, so they went to their newly reclaimed wasteland.
When I started working, the sadness of parting was alleviated.
As the sun rose, more and more villagers came to the fields. Some of them didn't see An An and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't An An come today? Did she go to play with Master Zhou?"
They all knew that An An liked to stick with Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu also liked An An very much.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! Master Zhou is going out again! An An couldn't bear to leave her uncle and insisted on following him.
"We had no choice but to discuss with Hu Zi and take her away first, and then send her back after she falls asleep."
The villagers exclaimed: "So that's how it is!"
"Our An An is so adorable! I'm used to seeing her, but when I don't see her anymore, I'm really not used to it."
"You'll have to comfort him when he's brought back, or he'll cry!"
Aunt Zhao agreed vaguely, and everyone went back to work.
When it was dark and An An was still not sent back, someone came to ask again.
Aunt Zhao acted pretentiously and jumped up and down to scold Zhao Hu.
Qin Ying rubbed her eyes until they turned red, and advised, "Mom, don't blame Hu Zi... Once you leave the house, you have no control over your own actions.
"Besides, if he sends An An back, all this trouble might delay Mr. Zhou's business.
"If we make Lord Zhou unhappy, Hu Zi will never have the chance to go out again."
The villagers also persuaded her, and Aunt Zhao gradually stopped scolding.
Because of this incident, no one mentioned An An going out with Zhou Yu anymore.
The days passed like flowing water, and soon it was time for summer harvest.
The people of Tongshu Village all went out to harvest all the wheat in three days and sent it to the threshing ground for rough grinding.
The people Zhou Yu left behind to help have already gone to the surrounding villages.
Fortunately, there was no rain, so there was no need to rush to harvest or plant.
After the first round of grinding, the wheat straw is taken away and piled aside. The wheat grains are pushed up with a push board and then transferred to another drying yard to dry.
The wheat straw is spread out again and threshed a second time.
Those who are not able to work pick up wheat ears in the fields, making sure not a single one is left behind.
After three more days of hard work, not a single grain of wheat could fall out of the straw, and then they stacked it up in the threshing ground. This was an excellent source of fire.
The wheat was dried for another two days. It was crispy when you bit it, which meant it was ready.
So they packed it into bags, weighed it, and distributed it immediately.
Everyone was grinning from ear to ear, for one simple reason: the wheat they harvested was much bigger than the wheat seeds they planted!
Everyone was discussing that they would go back and grind some flour and make dumplings with two-grain flour!
Anyway, the dishes are ready!
Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying didn't think so. There were two fewer people in the family, so they didn't even have the heart to eat delicious food.
Someone else came over and tried to negotiate with them: "Your second litter of rabbits is already quite big. Can you give me a pair? I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you two pounds of wheat in exchange. How about that?"
