Major General Through the Upper Gate

It wasn't too late for them to go out, but there were already many people in the fields of each family, and the rice was piled up in pieces in the fields, and there was a scene of enthusiasm everywhere.

"Be careful, hold the rice stalks higher, don't backhand, it's easy to be cut by the knives." Cheng Wei taught Gu Xijiao how to cut rice with the knives, because the knives are not straight, but half-curved zigzag The knife edge slides the bar easily.

Everyone will be injured to some extent when they cut the rice for the first time. He prepared a handful of holly leaves in Tian Ji's basket early in the morning, afraid that Gu Xi would see blood.

Fortunately, Gu Xijiao was a little rusty at first, but soon he caught up with Cheng Wei's speed.But he was no match for Cheng Wei, maybe because he was too tall, he felt very stiff after bending over for a while.Cheng Wei didn't seem to know that he was tired, he kept bending over and cutting from one end to the other, without even seeing him stretching.

"Is it hot? There is honeysuckle tea in the back basket, and I brought several tubes." Cheng Wei caught up with Gu Xicheng from behind while mowing. He looked at the height of the sun. It was not too late. One-third of the rice has been harvested.

Gu Xicheng looked at Cheng Wei who was sweating profusely and shook his head, but there were a lot of small bugs in the field, and they would get into their clothes and bite them, which would make people feel uncomfortable for a long time.

General Gu never knew that he would have such a delicate day.

"Put down the sleeves, and I'll tie them up for you." Cheng Wei obviously also saw the red and swollen places on his arms that were scratched here and there. The rice has fine hairs, and being bitten by insects and shaken by the rice can make people People itch all day, and the more they scratch, the more itchy.

Cheng Wei lowered his head and tightened his cuffs with a tape. A bead of sweat under the straw hat slid down the bridge of his nose, hanging on the tip of his nose.Gu Xicheng subconsciously helped him to type with his free hand.

Cheng Wei was startled by his sudden movement and leaned back. After he understood it, he quickly lowered his head and said with disgust, "Hairy hands, don't move!"

Disgusted and disliked, Cheng Wei honestly helped Gu Xicheng tie up his two cuffs. He glanced at the small piles of rice in the field and said, "Go and remove the heads of those cut rice. End to end and tied into two bundles, we will pick them back first in a while."

"There are still a lot in the field." Gu Xijiao looked at it, and if he didn't move quickly, the two of them might not be able to collect it all today.

"It doesn't matter, I only harvest half of it today, and I will pick the cut ones back for threshing later, otherwise the rice stalks will dry out in the sun for a while, and it will be even more difficult to thresh." Cheng Wei explained a few more words, and then took the grass knife and used it on his sleeve After wiping off his sweat, he went to cut his rice again.

Gu Xicheng hugged the rice into two piles according to what Cheng Wei said. No wonder they had to put the heads and tails of each other, because the rice stalks were soft and slippery.He tied the rice firmly with the bamboo strips he had prepared earlier in the morning, and took two handfuls of rice home with each pole made of bamboo.

Cheng Wei saw that when he was picking up rice with a bamboo pole, he was about to put down his knife to help, but Gu Xizheng looked left and right, and there were people harvesting rice next to him. He looked like others, but he looked good picked up the rice.

The rice stalks are limp and unable to stand up, and with a little effort, the rice will be tossed and dropped in the field.Moreover, the pole made of bamboo is long and thick, which is very difficult to carry on the shoulder.Anyone who is used to farming knows to string one end first, then put the back on the back and then string the other end.

Cheng Wei saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he buried his head and continued to work on him.

Gu Xijiao picked it four times in total. When the sun was at its strongest, Cheng Wei put down the harvest knife, hugged the cut rice and tied it tightly, and let Gu Xijiao pick it back home.

The two of them didn't have lunch, and the rice Gu Xijiao picked up was placed in the yard, separated by a few wooden boards on the ground.

"Shall we have lunch later? I'm afraid the rice stalks will dry out later." Cheng Wei discussed with Gu Xicheng.

"Okay." Gu Xizheng nodded, he carried a bundle of rice to a cooler place, and untied the bamboo strips.

"I'll come to rock the core and see if there is any problem." Gu Xijiao signaled that Cheng didn't stand in front of the core, and the handle he changed was on the side of the core, so it wouldn't hinder the place.

Gu Xizheng was very strong, and the rolling core made a rattling sound. Cheng Wei took a small handful of rice, hesitated for a while, and put it on the rolling core full of awls.

"Ah!" He didn't expect the awl to move with such great force. He lost his grip and a few rice stalks were twisted down by the rolling core.

"Don't reach out!" Gu Xizheng stopped him in time.This is not a joke, he sharpened the awl on it purposely, and if he went down so fast, his fingers might disappear.

"I didn't reach out... I'll hold on to it later." Cheng Wei stabilized his mind, and Gu Xijiao also slowed down a little in cooperation. This time, putting the rice stalks in, there was no problem at all.

Cheng Wei looked at the rice stalks that had been removed by the core roller, and looked at Gu Xizheng in surprise and said, "Amazing!"

Gu Xijiao nodded with a deep expression, that is, he was a person who had repaired mechs and spaceships on Blue Star, so he was proud of transforming a small broken thing made of four or five pieces of wood.

Cough, General Gu, look back, your tail is wagging happily.

After all, Cheng Wei and Gu Xizheng divided the two acres of rice into two days to harvest. After threshing that day, Cheng Wei went to the utility room to dig out three worn-out curtains.He sewed and mended the holes in the sun and spread them out in the yard, and then carefully poured the threshed rice on top to dry.

The yard is full of loose soil, and the rice is directly dried, and when it dries, it is full of sand.Later, when people from the town come to collect it, the price will be kept very low.

But because they went back early that day, they caused a few gossips in the village.During the busy farming season, every household would like to grow in the field, and even take lunch to the field to eat. How can farm children be so delicate.

The older people always have endless topics to talk about when they get together, and when it comes to the two of them, they can talk for most of the day.

For example, Gu Xizheng's short hair and taller than ordinary people, for example, there is no adult in the family who dares to be so lazy, and for example, if his child dared to do this, he would be scolded bloody before it was too late, etc.

Wei Xiaopai naturally knew it too, when he heard people talk about him as a couple, he would always help to say that the young couple's bones are still light, they can't stand the sun, and they don't have much experience.

The east and the west are short, and the big guys don't have any malicious intentions, but after a few words, they don't know where to bring the topic.

Fortunately, God was very kind and the weather was always good. The next morning, Cheng Wei and Gu Xijiao picked up the remaining rice after harvesting.

The surface of the rice that had been aired the day before was already dry, so Cheng Weidu moved it to a curtain, and then spread out the newly threshed rice thinly.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Gu Xizheng just stretched out his chopsticks during lunch, when he happened to raise his head, he saw a few big blisters flashing past Gu Xizheng's palm.

"It's okay." Gu Xicheng glanced at his palms with the end of his eyes, and took a mouthful of rice with a grunt.

Although he couldn't taste it, he probably worked hard these two days, and Cheng Wei cooked dry rice.This was much hungrier than porridge, and Gu Xicheng felt full even after eating it.Moreover, Cheng Wei also boiled pumpkin at noon, the very powdery taste is very similar to the sweet potato that he ate when he came to this other world on the first day, he likes it very much.

Cheng Wei glanced at him, and when he was full, he went to the room and took out a needle.

"Put out your hand and let me have a look." Cheng Wei said while sitting on the stone bench next to the door of the main room.
