The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

With the start of bean harvesting, the autumn season officially begins.

Xuan Mo also officially began to learn from Old Man Cui.

At the beginning, Xuan Mo said that he would help his family finish the autumn harvest before going to Old Man Cui for lessons.

Zhou Yue stopped him.

There are only ten acres of irrigated land at home, and we plant corn on it. Although there is a lot of dry land, there is not much crop, so there is no need to rush.

Besides, the crops in the dry land can be harvested and pulled back and sorted out slowly.

There are so many laborers at home, we can't rely on a ten-year-old child.

Xuan Mo runs back and forth every day, and lunch is delivered to him by his family.

It was not appropriate to send him enough food, so I made some more. My family also prepared meals for Old Man Cui and Mr. Cui, so it was just a matter of adding a handful of rice.

Old man Cui was the happiest about this. The food at the Ning family was really good. Every meal included meat and eggs, both thick and thin.

After a few days, Old Man Cui finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and he ran to discuss it with Zhou Yue.

Can Cui Da come to get food every day? Cui Da has a horse.

On the one hand, it can save the Ning family from having to spare a laborer to deliver meals during the busy farming season.

Secondly, it can prevent the food from getting cold.

It turns out the food was cold.

Zhou Yue agreed and asked Yang Mo to make a large food box, which he padded with an insulation bag filled with cotton that Qian had sewn.

In this way, Cui Da drove fast with the food box to the town, and the food was still hot when he handed it to Xuan Mo.

Soups like pickled fish and meat dishes like big plate chicken need to be eaten while hot so that they can retain their flavor.

The Ning family are hardworking and willing to endure hardships, and everyone is a good farmer.

Soon all the corn was broken and brought home.

At this time of year, everyone has a strong desire to buy a donkey cart.

But the need for wheelchairs seems to be more urgent than the need for donkey carts.

After many days of polishing and modification, Old Man Ning and Yang Mo finally made the first wheelchair.

Let Yuan Mo try sitting first.

Yuan Mo was in a state of acting spree and pretended that one of his legs could not move. He asked others to help him into a wheelchair, making the whole family laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Yuan Mo sat on it and felt it was not bad.

There are thick cushions and backrests sewn by my grandmother herself. It is very comfortable to sit on and it should be fine for sitting for a long time.

He tried to turn the two large wheels under his arms, and then the car started to move slowly.

Everyone's eyes widened, that was great.

But after walking a short distance, Yuan Mo stopped because he was too tired.

"By the way, we need to add some oil." Old Man Ning suddenly realized.

The axles need lubrication.

Yang Mo quickly got some oil and carefully dripped it into the iron axle.

Yuan Mo tried to turn it again and it really saved much effort.

He spun his wheel and wandered around, and everyone was having fun.

But when he came to a small rise in the yard, he found he couldn't get through.

The yard is paved with stone slabs, which I found myself in the mountains.

It took the Ning family several years to find all these stone slabs.

Because the stone slabs were of different sizes and thicknesses, it took another year of free time during farming to slowly lay them in the yard.

Farmers are like this, they do a lot of things by themselves. Farmers are the most versatile group of people in the world.

They can farm, grow vegetables, collect herbs, prepare simple medicinal materials, raise fish, fish, chop wood, plant trees, cook, kill chickens and pigs, build houses, build pig pens and chicken pens, raise livestock, build beds for livestock, treat diseases, and castrate pigs...

Almost everything you need to survive.

The stone slab road that I paved myself must have some bumps and the wheel got stuck in that place.

The problem still lies with the wheels.

Old Man Ning and Yang Mo quickly started to think about improvements.

Others went to collect the fish.

Early in the morning of that day, the Ning family opened the door and started collecting fish.

The first ones to arrive were Sun and Tao Mo. Judging from the time, they probably went to the river early, but they didn't get much.

After weighing it, their bucket of fish scallops weighed five and a half kilograms.

But when Qian poured the water into her own large basin, she found that there were small fish and even shrimps under the fish in the bucket, and there was also a lot of water.

Qian immediately became unwilling and said she wanted to peel off two and a half pounds of skin.

That bucket is a small wooden barrel that holds two kilograms. The additional half a kilogram is for the extra fish and water, which is actually not that demanding.

Those small fish and shrimps cannot be sold, so they can only be picked out to feed the chickens.

If you don’t keep a close eye on the raw materials you purchase, it will affect the quality of the finished product and significantly increase costs.

This will cause the entire business to fail and affect Qingmo's confidence in doing business.

Qian and Zhou Yue would definitely not let this happen.

Others may not speak ill of Sun, but Qian, as an elder, can speak well of him.

When Qian said she wanted to peel two and a half pounds of skin, Sun immediately became unhappy.

“Mom, you can’t be too partial and bully my Yuande because he’s not at home.

We are all family, can't you just turn a blind eye?"

Seeing that Sun was not convinced, Qian immediately looked at Zhou Yue, hoping that Zhou Yue could teach her a lesson.

Zhou Yue held his forehead with his hand. This Sun was everywhere. He couldn't spoil her too much, otherwise she would take advantage of him.

This business won’t be able to be done anymore.

Zhou Yue said: "Mom, you are wrong, peel three pounds of skin."

Sun:......

Qian: ...You are so cruel!

Before Sun could say anything else, Zhou Yue immediately said, "Why, sister-in-law, you're still not satisfied? Then three and a half pounds?"

Qian burst into laughter and Sun immediately shut up.

Then he took the thirty copper coins handed to him by Qing Mo, muttered to himself, and left.

She had to hurry to catch the fish, because if she was too late they would have been taken away by others.

Don't bother with these people who only care about money and don't care about their relatives.

Tao Mo was eating the big, fluffy steamed bun made of double-grain flour given by Qian, which was stuffed with a few pieces of fragrant bacon.

Seeing this, Sun's eyes curved and she immediately pulled the child away.

Later, some villagers came one after another, and each family caught not much fish.

With Sun's proofing and his big trumpet mouth publicity, the villagers knew the size of the fish and knew that they had to reduce the weight even if they added more water.

Therefore, the subsequent acquisition went smoothly.

Some wanted to make matters worse, but Qian and Zhou Yue scolded them and threatened them not to accept their fish anymore. So they just gave in and left with some copper coins.

These are all unexpected fortunes, they just take some time, so take whatever you get, even a little bit of money still counts.

Tigers eat grasshoppers, and the meat bits and pieces are also delicious.

After a whole morning of harvesting, we collected forty or fifty kilograms of crucian carp.

One reason is that during the busy farming season, only women and children in the family are willing to waste time fishing in the river.

The second reason is that there are not many fish in the river. If you want to catch fish, you have to go far away to other villages.

I don’t know how long this fish selling business can last. It’s true that it’s not easy to fleece the wool that God provides.

Let's take it one step at a time, and you will have new ideas when the time comes.

The Ning family was not in a hurry to work on the farm, so they were busy at home the day before and on the day of the market.

I tried sitting on old man Ning’s wheelchair and it felt okay.

He walked around the yard several times, and Yuan Mo hammered the uneven stone slabs with a sledgehammer, making the ground much smoother.
