The wheat was harvested yesterday, and today we will mainly focus on threshing.

After breakfast, Thick Neck volunteered to go to the county town to deliver the goods. Lin agreed and asked him to go with Cui Jingwen.

The rest of the people went to the new house together.

With the harvest, everyone's face was filled with joy.

"After paying the taxes, have my father take the remaining grain to the city and exchange it for aged rice. That way, we won't have to worry about food during the winter."

"I also want to buy half a pound of meat to give the children a taste of meat. They haven't tasted meat in half a year."

"You're making me hungry. I'm going to cut some fat and make lard. I've just harvested some chives in the field. I'll put two spoonfuls of lard in the chive stuffing..."

Everyone took a break from their busy schedule and imagined what food to make to reward their hard work this year.

In the joyful and busy atmosphere, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the village and headed straight for the headman's house.

Old man Cui felt overwhelmed when he saw the boys in front of him.

Erlang, Silang and Xiaowu still looked like they were working, but the boys that the third son's wife brought home a few days ago were so heavy that they could hardly be lifted or carried. Not far away, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi were bumping into each other, secretly squatting on the ground and rubbing wheat to eat.

The puppy next to them was watching to prevent the chicks from stealing the wheat, and the whole place was in chaos.

Old Man Cui was tired and said, "We don't need so many people here. Third brother, take a few boys and go to the old man's farm to take a look. His family must not have enough manpower. Take them and leave quickly."

Leaving makes life half peaceful.

Cui Chengliang called Xiaowu and ordered Sifu and Wufu, then took the sickle and left quickly.

Old Mrs. Cui was worried and shouted, "Come back early before noon and tell them you have work to do at home. Don't let the old lady keep any food for you."

"understood."

Given the eldest son's wife's temper, she would definitely feel embarrassed to let them work for nothing, and might even prepare a good meal for them at noon.

The old family is not having a good time either, so they come home early from work so as not to make things difficult for them.

Old Mrs. Cui really wanted Lin's strange hood, so she found an unworn piece of clothing early in the morning and sewed one for it. After working for a while, she couldn't help but sigh that it was really useful.

It just looks weird, but fortunately it's in a remote place and outsiders can't see it.

After a while, the noise came from far away.

A group of people came over in a mighty procession, and the village head trotted away, leaving the others behind.

The Cui family members stopped what they were doing.

"Jingwen's mother, look who's here." The village head was panting. He had just gone to Cui's house and found no one at home. He asked the villagers and said that he had just seen Jingwen's mother coming here.

"Hey? Jingwen's mother isn't here?"

The village head walked closer but didn't see Lin. He glanced at the two people next to him who were covered tightly, then looked away and continued searching.

"Uncle Village Head, I'm here." Lin then remembered that she was wearing a hat, and quickly took it off, revealing her entire face.

"What are you doing..." The headman was too embarrassed to say anything. What the hell was going on? It was just in broad daylight. If he saw them at night, he would be scared to death.

Old Mrs. Cui next to her also hurriedly pulled off her straw hat, her old face flushed.

"Hey, you guys from the Cui family look pretty weird with your straw hats, hahahaha."

"With this straw hat on, I wouldn't know who you are if you hadn't told me. Aunt Cui, you're afraid of being seen at your age."

Old Mrs. Cui's face was black and red. She was a step slower and was seen by so many people.

They had all known each other for decades, so the villagers laughed without any worries.

"Just laugh, laugh, don't be afraid of sticking your tongue out." Old Mrs. Cui feigned anger, "My straw hat is very useful."

"My mother is right." Lin smiled and showed them to everyone, "This straw hat may look strange, but it can block the wheat awns, so I won't get stung and itchy while I work."
