Major General Through the Upper Gate

Hearing Wei Yinzhi's words, the brothers immediately calmed down. Tonight, they dragged their family with them. If they were really put down by a brother, their family status would really be lost in the future.

"It's time for summer harvest in two days. The millet in our field has fallen, and if we don't harvest it, it will probably sprout." Wei Er Er said slowly at this moment.

"The rain in the first two days was too hard, otherwise our millet would have been kept for another five or six days." When it comes to business, everyone has become serious. A mu of land can yield tens of catties of millet.

"Our family won't be able to make a fortune if we are greedy for that. It's a serious matter to hurry up and harvest the millet so that the second rice seedlings can be planted." Wei Xiaopai stuffed Xiao Liu with a mouthful of rice and said.

Wei Laosi's Qidi had almost finished eating, so he went over to take Xiaoliu to his side.Among the few brothers, the third and fourth have been bonded for the shortest time and have no children yet.

"My brothers collected the millet at home first, and the ones at Brother Wei's house look greener, but we can keep them for a few more days." Wei Er Er thought for a while and said.

"Our family will go to Liu's house alone." Wei Dongliang reminded him aloud.

The Liu family is the landlord of Tonghua Village. They treat the villagers very well on weekdays, and the rent is not expensive. Every summer and autumn harvest, people in Tonghua Village who have surplus labor will send one or two people to harvest rice for their family.The Liu family is not stingy, and the wages are also considerable.

"Which one of you will go this year?" Dad Wei asked with a chopstick of rabbit meat, glanced at his sons.

"I'm going this year," Wei Laosan said, and he said in a good mood: "Little Daddy, this year I'm going to Liu's house, Brother Qing stays at our house, you have to take care of me for a few days."

Wei Xiaodi was taken aback for a moment, he put down his chopsticks, and looked at Wei Laosan with some hesitation: "Brother Qing..."

"Well, it's been three months." Wei Laosan responded with a smile.Both he and Wei Lao Si were born like Wei Xiao Dae, and the handsome man also smiled like a fool at the moment.

"Good boy!"

"Third Brother, you're so unreasonable that you even keep it from me!"

"Good things, good things! It's not easy after so many years."

Wei Xiaodi moved his mouth a few times but he didn't say a word. Speaking of which, the third child has been married for almost three years, and the younger brother has a body in the first year of marriage. It was a very happy thing, but after two months... At that time, I saw Hong inexplicably, but the child did not stay.

It has been almost three years in a blink of an eye, and there is no movement at the third child's end. Although he doesn't say anything, he is still anxious.In addition, Brother Qing was sold by someone at the beginning, and his body was already weak. He was not bad at home and had been raised for three years before allowing the two to have sex, for fear that something would harm his body in the future.

It's all right now, Wei Xiaopai rubbed his eyes.In fact, he had already planned in his heart that if Brother Qing really couldn't have children in the future, he would adopt Xiao Liu to support them in the old age.Otherwise, as a little daddy, he might not be able to sleep a wink until his death.

Wei Shouxin's brother at the other end had already pulled people aside to whisper, Wei's second brother also put down his bowl, he couldn't keep up with his clumsy mouth, so he could only interject a few words occasionally.

Fourth Wei's Qidi looked at them enviously.Sitting next to him, the fourth child quietly patted the back of his hand, signaling that he was not in a hurry.The two have been in a bond for more than a year, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"I almost forgot to talk about the business," Wei Xiaopai suddenly thought of something after being excited, and he said to Cheng Wei: "Brother Wei, you got the field too soon, and the seedlings of the villagers had been bred early at that time. The first-raised seedlings will probably not have your share."

"Too bad!" Wei Xiaopai said, Cheng Wei immediately remembered that the seedlings of his Erdao had not been bred!When the millet in the field is harvested in a few days, wouldn't the two acres of paddy fields he and Gu Xijiao have left for half a year in vain?

"I can't blame you," Wei Xiaopai said again: "It was too late to breed immediately, not to mention that the government had stopped releasing seeds at that time."

Cheng Weiran, it's fine that Gu Xizheng didn't know, but he, who knew, didn't think of this at all!Tonghua Village is located in the south, and rice can be planted twice a year. It is not a joke to cut the rice today and insert it the next.

"Don't worry too much," Wei Xiaopa scooped a piece of fish for him in the pot, and he said, "I told our village head early in the morning that if any family in the village has too many seedlings, I will keep them for you. A few days ago, I called Yinzhi came back for this reason. I asked De Fang to go back to Xiahe Village and tell his village head that if there are any extra seedlings in his village, he will keep them for you. However, Xiahe Village is no better than ours. Give them a few copper coins."

"You don't need to give it. Brother Fang's father is the village head, and whoever said it will leave it to him. No one dares to gossip." Wei Yinzhi took another sip of soup from Xiong Defang's hand and said with a full belch.

"What do you know!" Wei Xiaopai frowned and turned his head before lecturing him: "It's only been a few years that you have already treated someone as your own father? Also, what are your two hooves for? De Fangduan He only took a few bites after serving you with a bowl all night? Defang, put down the bowl and let him hold it by himself, I don’t believe he can starve to death! He’s used to it!”

Wei Yinzhi shut his mouth immediately, and he obediently brought the bowl over and sipped it, glancing at his little dad from time to time.That small appearance seems to have wronged him.

This little expression is okay to trick outsiders, but it won't work against Wei Xiaopai.

Wei Xiaopai glared at him, Wei Yinzhi immediately put down the bowl, brought over Xiong Defang's bowl in a fawning manner, and stretched out his hand to serve him the soup.This really startled Xiong Defang, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take back the bowl, but the Wei Yinzhi was already filled with soup, and he was afraid that if he moved halfway, he would burn him.

As a result, he immediately broke out in a sweat.

Wei Xiaopai looked at the two of them and sighed secretly, they really are enemies.

With the help of Wei Xiaopai and Xiong Defang, Erdao's rice seedlings are temporarily settled. Cheng Wei thanked them again and again, promising to give each of the seedlings in Xiahe Village five copper coins.

The whole family talked for a long time, and seeing the moon rise high, everyone dispersed.

The next day, Wei Yinzhi returned home, and Tonghua Village officially entered the summer harvest.

Because the millet in their field was still green, Cheng Wei followed Wei Xiaopai's suggestion and decided to collect it in a week or so.Seeing that there was still time, Cheng Wei took Gu Xijiao to the mountain again, and he was going to burn some grass mud to take home.

Clear out the weeds on the low slopes. The sun has been very good for the past two days and the dry grass can be ignited.Cheng Wei gave Gu Xicheng a knife to mow the grass, and he took the shovel to gently scrape off the grass and put it in the burning fire.

After working for more than two hours, the two of them neatly built three fires.Cheng Wei finally dug a thick layer of soil to cover the remaining ashes of the sparks, and beckoned Gu Xijiao to go home, and went up the mountain to pick up the soil the next morning.

The soil that has been burned by fire is very hard, and it is very absorbent when mixed with plant ash.Cheng Wei laid out a layer in the chicken coop, and the rest were piled up next to the pigsty.The thatch on the roof of the chicken coop was reclaimed by Gu Xijiao, and the green layer looked very energetic.

After all, three of the chicks who were drenched in the rain fell ill that day, and did not feed them later.Seeing that there were only thirteen chicks left, Cheng Wei fed them more delicately.Fortunately, the two little pigs didn't have any major reactions, and a small bucket of boiled sweet potato vines mixed with bran could be eaten.

After working on chores for a few days, one night Cheng Wei asked Gu Xicheng to carry out the threshing bucket from the utility room.

It is said to be a threshing bucket, but it is actually just a wooden farm tool with a smooth bottom and a board around it, with uneven wooden cones on it.When you come back from harvesting the rice, you have to beat the wooden awl with a handful of handfuls, so that the rice will thresh and fall to the wooden boards surrounding it.

"This thing can be modified." Gu Xizheng looked at the thing in front of him. If the strength is too small, the rice may not be able to knock it down. If the strength is too strong, the grains may fly out, so a piece of cloth was wrapped around it.

"What? Is it broken?" Cheng Wei, who brought a bucket of water and was about to wipe it, came over and took a look.

"It's not broken. I'll try it tomorrow. It should be easier to modify it."

Gu Xicheng made a bearing for this thing, and then made a handle for the roller core in the center.In this way, one person can shake the roller core while the other person just needs to stand and turn the rice stalk in his hand.

The idea is very good, but whether it works or not depends on the actual operation.Cheng Wei sharpened the threshing knife under the moonlight on the night the threshing bucket was finished, and it was only slightly bright the next day, and the two of them left the field.
