She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 371 A Super Busy Day

It is a well-known saying that more people means easier work.

The original plan was to finish harvesting the wheat today and pull it to the open space in the afternoon if there was time, or tomorrow. Now there are thirteen people, big and small, in the field, and the sun is still high in the sky. The wheat in the field has been harvested and loaded onto a truck and pulled to the public ground in the village.

With the children's sweeping movement like a swarm of locusts, the fallen ears of wheat on the ground were picked up cleanly.

When you reach the entrance to the village, you need to be extra careful when the mule cart is about to go onto its own path.

Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to take back the basket on Wen Wuyan's back which contained most of the wheat ears, and walked ahead with the children to go home first.

"Mom, why did you bring back this half basket of wheat ears? Aren't you going to send it to the field?" Erhua had been in the fields all day. His fair little face had turned into a clown face. He looked at the bamboo basket behind Gu Qingqing in confusion and asked.

Gu Qingqing first glanced at Erhua, then looked at the children around her with a smiling look, "You and your friends helped the family today, I will go back and make some maltose for you."

"Ah? Maltose?" Zhao Danju was puzzled.

"Aunt, what is maltose?" Zhao Jianghe asked suspiciously.

Gu Qingqing looked at the innocent faces of the children and said, "It's a kind of candy made from wheat. It's sweet."

"Wow! Candy! Mom, you can make candy too. How do you make it?" Erhua excitedly.

The others were not much better. They all looked at Gu Qingqing with half-belief and half-doubt. Only Li Xin looked at Gu Qingqing with a firm expression.

Gu Qingqing put her hand on Erhua's shoulder and laughed, "It's too troublesome to tell you. Just eat it when I make it."

"Aunt, since you can make candy, we will go to other fields to pick up wheat ears tomorrow. Can you make some for us?" Zhao Sijiao, who had been silent, faced Gu Qingqing.

The only difference is that Gu Qingqing was moving forward while he was moving backward.

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "Of course you can, you can go to the harvested wheat fields, if you can pick up wheat ears, I will help you do it."

Every year in the village there is an activity of picking things up from the fields, picking wheat ears, peanuts, sweet potatoes, sorghum, etc. As long as the owner has harvested the land, children or the elderly at home who cannot do heavy work can carry bamboo baskets or baskets to their fields to look for the leftover food.

There will be omissions in every family's field, because as a large amount of grain is harvested, the adults in the family will put aside their attention on the next step, and they will check the fields but the check will be hasty.

At this time, I would ask the children at home to search my own fields.

For some reason, all children have a common problem.

When looking for your own home, you can be as careless and lazy as you can be.

But when I heard that I had to go to other people's fields to pick up food, I was more excited than being injected with chicken blood. Even if I knew that the food in my own fields was not picked up cleanly, I didn't want to continue picking food from my own fields. I always felt that the food from other people's fields smelled better.

So, as long as these kids act quickly, they should be able to pick up something.

Now, the children were extremely happy.

After returning home, Gu Qingqing asked Dahua to take out the snacks at home and share two pieces with several friends as a reward for their help today.

She brought a pot of tea and a few bowls from home and stood where the wooden house used to be.

Now the land has been leveled by them. A few days ago, they used Yuzhu's stone roller to press it, poured water on it and tamped it again. They are just waiting for the crops to be harvested and spread out to dry so they can start working.

Seeing the mule cart coming, she hurriedly asked everyone to drink water first.

After unloading the wheat with straw, the mule cart turned around and headed back to the fields.

Seeing the children holding the snacks they were reluctant to eat and about to go back, Gu Qingqing said to Zhao Danju, "Danju, go back and tell your mother to kill two ducks and three chickens today."

"I know, Auntie."

Just as Gu Qingqing was looking at the sky and wondering why the plum blossoms had not returned yet, she thought of Cao Cao and he appeared.

Gu Qingqing immediately went to meet him. Although she saw that the man, the donkey cart, and the things on the cart were all intact, she still asked habitually, "How is it? Is everything going well? Is it not disobedient?"

Luo Meihua smiled happily, "Sister-in-law, don't tell me. It cooperated very well, especially when it came back, we didn't need to rush it. It knew to turn when it reached the intersection."

"Oh, then I feel relieved. I was worried that she might give up and not leave." Gu Qingqing helped to move the things out of the car.

Then he said to her, "You don't have to go to town tomorrow. I will go to town alone tomorrow. You stay at home and help with the housework."

"That won't work. We agreed at that time that the shops in town would be open even during the busy farming season. I'll go with you, and we'll come back early. I'll go work in the fields for a while. Remember that." Luo Meihua said.

Gu Qingqing shook her head. "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. You don't have to come tomorrow. I will go by myself."

That is, the idle mule cart in which they were talking returned.

But this time when he went to the field to pull the wheat back, there was an extra donkey cart following behind.

While the men were hauling wheat, she took the opportunity to stay at home and deal with the sewage with Luo Meihua.

As a result, just as they were about to start, Wu Fang and Zhao Qin came and took over Gu Qingqing without saying a word.

The family was already busy, so Gu Qingqing didn't refuse them. She thought that after the mule came back, they would go back to town, and she didn't want to let them go back empty-handed.

After asking Dahua, he learned that the brine at home had been sold out again, so he took fifteen eggs from a jar.

......

For the next two days, Gu Qingqing went to town alone.

But early the next morning, Wen Wuyan used a fork to spread out the wheat ears with straw on two of the three haystacks. They had to be dried in the sun for at least a day.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to press out the wheat grains from the angry wheat ears using a stone mill.

There was a bamboo basket at Li Xin's feet. Inside the basket, one could see a thick layer of hay, and in the gaps, one could vaguely see egg shells and duck egg shells.

Li Xin held two sickles in his hands.

Seeing Wen Wuyan put down his fork, he shouted, "Uncle, can we go now?"

"I'm going to go talk to your Grandpa Yang."

Wen Wuyan found Old Yang who was resting at the gate and said, "Uncle Yang, I'm taking Daxin to my mother-in-law's house. I'd like to trouble you to take care of the house. If Qingqing hasn't come back at noon, please turn over the wheat straw that's drying on the ground."

"Go, just go. I'm not so old that I can't do anything." Old Yang smiled and waved at him.

Wen Wuyan didn't say anything more and quickly headed towards Shuangxi Village with Li Xin.
