Chapter 60 Husband-in-Law Works Well

Chapter 60 My husband is so easy to work with

Everyone came back to eat and rest at noon. They didn't go to the fields until the sun was not shining so much in the afternoon.

Everyone went to the ground before dawn. They were tired and hungry after working so hard. Everyone just ate their food and no one spoke.

After eating enough, Yang Pei asked about what happened in the morning: "Master, can we really plant and harvest again after this autumn harvest?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Gu Qing stood in the sun with a straw hat drying the recovered rice: "Actually, it's more than that. Usually the second-season rice tastes better than the first-season rice, and the yield is also higher. As long as the climate is suitable

, can be planted for two seasons.”

"Master, let me do it. The sun is too strong. Go and rest in the house!" Yang Pei took the rake from Gu Qing's hand and drove Gu Qing back to the house.

There were too few rooms in the house and there were many people. I wanted them to sleep on the bed for a while, but there were not enough beds, so I had to spread last year's dry straw in the main room and take a nap on it.

In the afternoon, when the sun was not so fierce, the family put on their straw hats and went to the fields again.

When the sun sets, it is a cooler time of the day. People who are busy in the fields have no intention of calling it a day. Everyone is harvesting crazily while it is still dark.

Gu Qing called back all the people who were busy in the fields. After a tiring day, he wanted to have a meal and take a good rest. There were still many things to do after the meal.

Zhu Han put the food on the table and spent the afternoon grabbing it. He didn't have much time to make something delicious, but there was enough food and he had to keep everyone full.

After eating, she heard people in the village say that the village chief had called everyone for a small meeting. Gu Qing guessed that it was the second-crop rice thing she was talking about in the morning, so she hurriedly took Yang Pei there.

At dusk, all the villagers in Gujia Village gathered around the honey locust tree.

Li Zheng stood on the stone and looked at the villagers below with joy: "After the locust plague, we finally have a good harvest. Today we officially harvest rice. It's been a tiring day. I know everyone has worked hard. I call everyone here today."

, just two things.

The first thing is that many of you must have seen the rice thresher used by Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu said that she has ordered five units for the village and will deliver them tomorrow."

"Oh, Mrs. Gu is such a good person. I saw it this afternoon. The rice thresher is so fast."

"Yes, Mrs. Gu's family has a lot of land but only a few acres of paddy fields. There are only five acres of paddy fields in total. Half of them have been harvested today. I think they will be finished in one day tomorrow."

"It's good to have more husbands and work faster. If I had known better, I would have found more husbands."

"How many more are you looking for? Do you think you have the ability to take care of a lady? If you look for a few more, you won't be afraid of starving to death!"

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, Li Zheng quickly interrupted: "Everyone, please be quiet. There will be a rice thresher tomorrow. Everyone will take turns to use it. One family can use it for an hour. Those who haven't had their turn should seize the time to harvest. Don't take turns.

When we arrived at your house, the rice stalks hadn't been cut yet.

The second thing is that Mrs. Gu said that our climate is good and we can grow a second crop of rice. Everyone knows what happened after paying the taxes after the autumn harvest in previous years. Since Mrs. Gu said that we can grow a second crop of rice, then we can

kind!

Everyone hurried to harvest and play, then plowed the fields and continued to plant rice. Try to harvest again. Madam Gu said that the second season’s output will be higher than the first. If you want to eat enough, you have to work hard for a few days!”

"What? A second season?"

"I've never heard of it. We have only grown one season for generations. If we had one more season, how much more food would we get?"

"That's right, Madam Gu, this is a good idea!"

"Li Zheng, where do these second-season seedlings come from? It takes several months to raise seedlings, so it's too late!"

When Li Zheng was asked this question, he could only look at Gu Qing. Since Mrs. Gu could bring it up, she must have solved the seedling problem long ago.

Gu Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, I have prepared the seedlings for you. When the time comes, just give me the rice seeds at the price!"

Zhao Dajiang was the first to object: "I don't want the rice seedlings. One autumn harvest is tiring enough, but two harvests? Are you going to let people live?"

Gu Hui agreed: "Yes, we have a small family. How can we compare with Madam Gu? There are many people in Madam Gu's family. She can open and close her mouth easily without looking at how tired others are."

Anyway, Li Zheng felt that what Gu Qing said made sense, and Gu Qing also told the county magistrate about it, and the county magistrate had already informed all other villages. In other words, this method was approved by the county magistrate.

Recognition is possible.

Zhao Dajiang and Gu Hui are really two troublemakers.

Li Zheng said angrily: "This year's taxes have come down. After everyone pays the taxes, there won't be much food left. If you want to plant rice for the second season, you can go to Mrs. Gu's house to register and receive rice seedlings. If you don't want to plant it, I won't force you to do so."

What do I ask you to do! But if you don’t have enough food next year, don’t expect everyone to help with relief! That’s it, let’s break up the meeting!”

The villagers dispersed, and the entire Gujia Village was not quiet. Every household was filled with the sound of flails.

Even if they know that there will be a more convenient and faster rice thresher tomorrow, the hard-working villagers still feel uneasy with so much rice in the yard. They have to beat it out overnight and put it into the house, and then move out the threshed rice when the weather is clear and windy.

Yang Yang.

The moonlight is so bright that you can see clearly without lighting a torch.

Gu Qing's family didn't have to use flails to thresh grains so hard, but even after a day of hard work, the whole family was still exhausted.

Everyone simply washed up. Gu Qing took Gu Yu and Gu Nuo to sleep in one room, Zhu Han had four people in one room, and the Tong family of six had three people in one room. The whole family could barely sleep.

The sky is dim and bright, but the entire Gujia Village has woken up.

There were voices coming from the yard.

"Nono, what's the matter with your hair? Why is it so dirty? I asked you why there is mud everywhere on the bed. It turns out you brought it with your hair." Gu Qing said angrily, "You didn't know how to wash your hair last night.

Come and lie down, I'll wash your hair..."

Gu Nuo refused: "Sister, I'll be busy and sweaty again later, so I'll wash it at night."

Gu Qing scolded him: "Then you ate something last night. Can you not eat it today? If it's dirty, you have to wash it off. Why don't you wash it off at night? Come here."

Gu Nuo had no choice but to say: "I'll do it myself."

"Okay, just lie down when I ask you to, and stop talking."

Gu Qing pushed him down on the bench. There was still half a bowl of shampoo left at home, so he asked Gu Nuo to wash it by himself. He couldn't wash it out even though he had to wash it for a long time.

When she comes to wash it, it can be washed quickly and cleanly.

Gu Nuo's hair is quite long. Qiu Shuo's family uses hair ties. The hair tie is 30 to 40 centimeters long when it is untied. The hair is a little oily and there are mud and grass clippings. It smells like sweat. It's not.

Generally dirty.

After she wet her hair, she applied shampoo, rinsed it with water, and then used a comb to comb out the knotted hair...

Mo Li walked out of the house and saw such a scene.

Under the thin morning light, in the corner of the yard, his wife was combing her brother's hair with gentle eyes. There were chickens, ducks, and puppies in the yard. The surrounding ground was full of rice stalks and grains. The morning light was highlighted by the yellowish color of the rice, making this scene particularly special.

Warm.

"Sister, you are so kind..."

Gu Nuo looked at Gu Qing eagerly and couldn't help but sigh.

The only memory Mo Li had in mind since he was a child was his master, but the master himself was a rough guy and didn't care whether he was dirty or not. He didn't think so before, but now, looking at the scene in the small courtyard, he began to envy Gu Nuo.

He actually wanted Gu Qing to comb his hair.
