Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 531 Harvesting Crops and Planting Wheat

Saturday morning, early. No morning exercises today. After breakfast, before daybreak, Ye Heng drove to Tianjin. Some people were in the space, some in the car. The family was happy, the whole family was out. The grain harvest was a major event for everyone. Food is the most important thing for the people, and since several of the elders were going, the whole family was out.

It took over an hour to get to the Tianjin beachfront villa. The whole family, adults and children, young and old, had emerged. Only the two babies were sleeping inside. Wang Xiaomin came out to check. Guoguo said, "There's furniture in the yard: sickles and baskets. Get them out. Let's get started. Sister-in-law, take care of the children." Wang Xiaomin: "Okay. Guoguo, bring Xufeng and Yanyan out too." "Okay, turn on the air conditioner." "Okay, I'll go right away." Guoguo watched the two youngest children run out and called out, "Jiubao and Shibao, come home." "Mom, no, we don't want to cause trouble for the adults." Ye Heng: "I'll watch over them, don't worry about it." "Okay." Guoguo was helpless. He was going to work! ! He looked up at the sky! Ye Heng glanced at Guoguo, haha. He should spoil his own girls.

Wang Xiaomin was at home looking after the children, so she went to the kitchen to clean up so she could cook. Guoguo took out the vegetables, ribs, and a slaughtered sheep and placed them in a basket. There was also rice and flour. Shuhua said, "Master, let's cook for a while." "Okay."

Shuhua and others discussed and decided to make noodles with meat sauce. They should knead the dough first and wait until it is awake.

The mutton was ready to be roasted. Wang Xiaomin helped cut it up and marinate it. Wang Xiaomin had gone to the city during the meal and bought some snacks and bacon, which she cut up and added to the meat for lunch. Shuhua brought tea and fruit to the farm. Anyone thirsty could have tea, fruit, and snacks.

The three little ones couldn't do any work, so they just ran around and played. Guoguo was so worried. "Don't run."

Hehe, hahaha, I'm having fun. Ye Heng smiled and continued to work. Li Qindu was on vacation and working.

Several elderly people sat on corn stalks, shelling corn. Li Qin cut the stalks and put them in baskets or bags, carrying them back to the edge of the field. Chai Donghua broke the cobs. Huang Bao and a few other youngsters were digging sweet potatoes in the field, giggling. "Brother, look! I dug out a big sweet potato! It's huge!" Huang Bao said, "Okay, Yueyue, you've got some skills! Dig more! We'll roast them tonight. They're so fragrant and sweet." "Yeah, yeah. I love roasted sweet potatoes the most." Xiao Yangyang also dug with his tools. Jiubao and Shibao also leaned over, their eyes wide open, digging with joy. When they saw the red sweet potato, they shouted happily, "Jiubao dug out one too! It's so huge!"

Xiaochen looked at the ground and picked some corn. Now that he was old enough, he knew how to help adults with work. Xiaotian did the same.

After working for a while, Guoguo stood up and straightened up. There were too many, a hundred acres. So he called Xiao Shunzi out to work. Haha! Xiao Shunzi was much faster, whizzing around like lightning. Guoguo looked at him and said, "Is this the right way?" He filled the bags himself. "Hey guys, come and hold the bags." Guoguo acted like a mountain king. Huangbao had no choice but to help fill the bags, taking the quadruplets and triplets with him. Chai Donghua and Li Qin kept carrying them back to the yard. Those with leaves are easier to store; they're not yet fully ripe.

By noon, Li Qin and Chai Donghua were exhausted and collapsed on the ground. Chai En was fine, still doing just fine with both cutting and carrying. Ye Heng despised the two adults, calling them even worse than the younger generation! He said, "Li Qin, brother-in-law, work harder and exercise more!" He carried two bags by himself, walking briskly. Guoguo watched, "Oh! We'd better use the machine harvest this afternoon. If we do it ourselves, who knows when we'll be able to plant the wheat. It's such a waste!"

Wang Xiaomin looked at her watch and saw it was noon. She went out and called everyone back for dinner. After Ye Heng and the other adults had brought back all the broken meat, Guo Guo was allowed to go home for dinner.

After washing our hands and eating, we all showered, changed into clean clothes, and took a nap. Of course, it was the children who took the nap, while the adults continued to work! Haha! I wanted to sleep, but I wanted to! No way.

In the afternoon, Guoguo decisively took out a large combine harvester, removed the thresher, and loaded it with a large bucket. She emptied the corn cobs, which the men collected and carried into bags and back to the yard.

The men cut the corn stalks in the morning and spread them on the ground as fertilizer. The meat at noon was not eaten in vain!

The machine is much faster. After the machine passed, Guoguo operated the plow from the back to sow seeds off the ground, all in one go!

Fifty acres were planted in one day. A large plow is truly the best; it plows deep enough to nourish the soil! Chai Donghua was stunned; he had never seen such a large machine. Old Man Chai came out after his lunch break and sat at the edge of the field, unable to work anymore. He just watched, happy.

Li Jingwen was also relieved when he saw this, thinking, how great it would be if Dayan could get this machine!

After dinner, the place was cleaned up, and Guoguo waved her hand as she sent all the corn cobs to the space. She'd keep them fresh here, and have Sister Xia bring them to the store to sell boiled corn! Ye Heng listened to Guoguo's instructions. "Okay, enough to sell for a while!" Guoguo shook her head and said, "There won't be enough! They're so popular at two yuan each! During Chinese New Year, they're three yuan each." "So valuable!" Guoguo nodded.

"Let's take a bath in the spiritual spring!" Huang Bao was the first to jump into the water.

Splash! Ye Heng laughed! Even Jiubao and Shibao took off their clothes, calling for their daddy. "Okay, okay." Ye Heng found swimming rings and put the two little ones in the water. Sitting in the rings, they paddled with their hands. Ye Heng helped the children wash their bodies.

Guoguo said, "Let's stop playing for a while and dress them. I'm going out." Yeheng didn't ask. Guoguo gave the wheat she had planted during the day a spiritual spring rain, a moderate rain that lasted for a full hour. Guoguo murmured softly, "Enough rain, grow! The seedlings are so strong!"

I'll go home when I see that it's almost done, close the door, and turn on the automatic lock.

After returning to the space, I took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Only then did I have time to sit down. Ye Heng handed me some tea and said, "Drink it!"

Several old people were not sleepy, sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and talking. Li Jingwen: "Why do I see lotus seeds in the lotus pond?"

"It's ready to be picked!" Chai Zhen said, looking at it. "It's ready to be picked. It's ripe." Father Chai said, "I've never picked it before, and I've never eaten it before."

Ye Heng dragged a small boat over, pushed it into the pond, sat in it, and started picking lotus pods! He picked a small basin and brought it up for everyone to taste.

Li Jingwen ate one, "Delicious! It tastes even better!" Chai Zhen and Old Man Chai also ate one. "Delicious! Delicious!" Huang Bao had enough fun, so he called his younger siblings out of the water, dressed, and went ashore. Chai Donghua was too comfortable to leave. "It's so comfortable in the water!" As soon as Huang Bao got in, the feeling was different. Chai Donghua didn't understand, but wisely kept silent and came out to dress. After their bath, they felt better and their discomfort was gone. They all sat down to drink tea and rest.

Guoguo looked at the fields. It was time to harvest the crops. "Oh, it's so bitter!" Wang Xiaomin asked, "What's wrong, sister?" "Sister-in-law, look at the fields here. It's time to harvest the crops again!" Wang Xiaomin looked and laughed. "Ah, sister-in-law!" Xuyao ​​laughed hahaha! Yeheng came over and sat next to Guoguo to rest. He was tired today.

"One more day of work tomorrow and we'll be done. But, Fengxing, you bought so much land, are you going to plant it this year?" Ye Heng took a sip of tea and said, "Plow the land first, let it rest for the winter, and plant in the spring!" "Okay. I'll check all the machines and fill them with oil later. Let's work hard tomorrow. A lot of land here has been planted and we can harvest grain!" "I plan to build an underground granary in my yard. I'll store grain and not sell it!" "Okay. Let's build a few large granaries in my hometown for emergency use." "Yeah. I bought a lot of cement this time."

Tonight, everyone went to bed early! I slept until I woke up naturally, and Shuhua and the others got up to cook.

Ye Heng went to check various machines, add oil! Sharpen the blades, tighten parts with wrenches! Maintain the machines!

Seeing everyone had gotten enough sleep, they ate in the space. After packing up, everyone went out again. Guoguo was driving a large machine to harvest, while several men were filling bags at the edge of the field, carrying them home. The children held the bags. Jiubao took a few home to deliver. Shibao followed suit. Old Man Chai looked at him and smiled. There were no lazy people in his family. The children knew how to work from a young age!

There were sweet potatoes growing in the fields, so Chai Zhen went to turn over the seedlings. Li Jingwen, who also knew how to do it, helped dig the sweet potatoes.

Ye Heng drove the plow to the newly acquired wasteland, burying the grass beneath the soil. He figured that even with thousands of acres of land, he didn't need to plow all of it. He wouldn't plant anything near the sea, but would clear the area within 200 meters, leaving the beach for his family to play. He would till the remaining land and plant crops.

Ye Heng thought that he had plowed the land for several days and there was still a lot of land. He thought about working at night as well.

Guoguo was busy harvesting the crops and planting wheat, while Wang Xiaomin helped take care of the children.

Another week passed, and by eight o'clock in the evening, the work was finally finished and the wheat was planted. Guoguo put the machine back into the space and took away the corn, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Heng was still plowing the fields. Guo Guo walked over and shouted, "Fengxing, have a meal and rest. We can't finish the work today." "Yeah. I'll work overtime later." "Okay. Come to think of it, I'm the one who got you involved. Follow me to farm! Haha, just thinking about it gives me a sense of accomplishment! I'll turn you, a prince, into a farmer! Hahaha!" Ye Heng looked at her with a frown on his face, haha!

The machine was parked at the edge of the field, and the two of them walked home side by side.

Two large tables were filled with food, and the family sat around, happily eating. Guoguo said, "Let's go after dinner. School starts tomorrow." Ye Heng said, "Okay. I'll take you back and come back later." Li Qin said, "Dad, I'm going back. I have to work tomorrow, so I can take everyone home." Ye Heng said, "Alright. Chai En, Donghua, and I will stay, and the rest of you can go back."

Guoguo: "Well. Don't get too tired. Shu, you stay and cook, clean, wash clothes and so on!" "Okay, master." Guoguo stood up and took out a lot of vegetables and meat and put them in the refrigerator.

After dinner, the whole family left. Li Qin and Minmin sat in the car, while the rest of the family went to the space.

Ye Heng: "It's just the few of us. Let's go and do it for a while!" Chai Donghua snorted, "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."

Ye Heng chuckled and took the lead in the work. There were only two plows, Chai Donghua learned to plow the land, and Chai En followed the car. Ye Heng drove one. The land was covered with waves, and the soil was all yellow and black! Ye Heng took out the night pearls to illuminate and placed them at both ends of the land. Chai Donghua looked at them and said, "Selling these two pearls will be enough to support me for a lifetime." Chai En: "Can you?" Chai Donghua: "Yes, they are a treasure now!"

Chai En: "The Emperor has plenty. It's useless to keep them all in the warehouse."

Chai Donghua sighed, what a waste of resources!

The two of them plowed the fields in a cart. At twelve o'clock, Chai Donghua said, "Let's take a break." They went to the field to retrieve the night-shining pearl and resumed their work tomorrow. Ye Heng watched the other cart stop, and then he stopped too. "Let's go back."

The three of them arrived home, and the front door opened and closed automatically. Ye Heng thought about it and decided to go into the garage and try it out. He walked into the light gate, then came out and called the two people. Chai Donghua chuckled, amazing! Chai En also said, "So, we can all come in from here." "Well, originally, a light gate was left here. However, it has a face setting, so I brought you in." Chai En: "Then try to record my face." Ye Heng chuckled, "Don't even think about it. Go to bed."

You can't just come and go as you please; there are restrictions! Otherwise, who knows what the consequences will be! In the future, this light gate will be blocked from the inside. We can't leave any future trouble. The children were all asleep. The three of them moved quietly, washed up, and went to rest.
