Chapter 90 The medicine has arrived

Brother Zhou and Aunt Zhou guessed that my mother would not come back for breakfast after going to Lejia, so she didn’t wait, and had breakfast with her children first, and picked up the household items. Set out to cut crops.

Of course, Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming were not left behind. Especially Zhou Chunmei was scolded by her father yesterday evening. She did not dare to offend her father again. She washed off the nail polish on her hands and toenails. In the morning He didn't dare to put on makeup, so he tied up his hair and picked up a straw hat and followed him to work.

During the double harvest season, every family is busy harvesting. They all get up early and go to work early. People can be seen everywhere walking on the village road. Brother Zhou and his family have just arrived from the village. Some families who have gone to work early have already harvested a piece of grass. Large tracts of rice.

Le Yun and Zhou Qiufeng waited for Brother Zhou to go to work for a while before leaving. Zhou Qiufeng rode Xiao Lele’s bicycle and carried the girl out of the village, along the natural dirt road between the farmland, to The place where Brother Zhou cut the crops.

The field where Brother Zhou’s family harvested rice first belongs to the Lejia family, and it is also the largest one. It is close to a ditch and on the road. Moreover, the Lejia family’s fields are almost next to each other, making farming convenient. Therefore, Rulejia’s If the family doesn't grow it themselves, there are many people in the village who are willing to take over the work.

Everyone in the Zhou family wielded their knives to cut the rice and laid down a small piece of rice. Seeing Zhou Qiufeng, the Zhou family siblings called "aunt" to Zhou Chunmei because they were in the way of their elders. Le Yun happily asked Zhou Chunmei Say hello to Zhou Tianming.

Zhou Tianming was so embarrassed that he lowered his head to cut the rice.

Neither Zhou Qiufeng nor Le Yun cared about other people's attitudes. They took professional sickles with sharp teeth specially designed for cutting rice and walked to the other end of the field to start work.

Jiudao Township is located in a remote mountainous area. It is built on the flat land between the mountains. There are not particularly many paddy fields. The villages surrounding the Jiudao Township Office have slightly more fields. Each household had an average of more than six cents of land per person. At that time, there were four people in the Le family, and they had a total of two and seven cents of acres.

Later, in the late 1990s, because the land contract rights could be transferred, the Le family bought three and a half acres of land and several acres of land from others. Because Le’s father had a broken leg and needed money, After reselling a few pieces of land, if not sold, there would be more than ten acres of arable land. Judging from the previous land, the Le family was considered a prosperous family at that time.

The Le family now has a little over six acres of paddy fields, including the garden in front of the house, and more than seven acres of cultivated land, excluding the forest economic forest land.

The largest field in the Lejia family is the one being harvested. It covers two acres and four and seven cents, almost two and a half acres. It is irregularly shaped and the field is very wide. The four members of the Zhou family are at the head of the field. Cutting, Zhou Qiufeng and Leyun cut from the end of the field, far apart.

Zhou Qiufeng is well-known as a fast hand in Meicun. He can cut rice and plant fields very quickly. He is ranked second among his peers and does not dare to be ranked first. There is only one fast hand in the previous generation. Can compete with her, so when she starts working, she can only hear the "swish" sound of the sickle cutting the seedlings and the ears of rice.The sound of collision.

Le Yun’s speed was not slow before. After opening the hook, well, let alone the speed, she bent down and started working. She kept moving forward, leaving behind hand after hand of seedlings. The stalls were arranged neatly.

Zhou Qiufeng was busy for a while when she heard someone gasping for air. She stood up and looked over, and found Sister-in-law Liu standing on a ridge above the Lejia field, looking down. She couldn't help but wonder: "Sister-in-law Liu, what's wrong? "

Sister-in-law Liu stood on the ridge of the field. Looking down from above, she could clearly see everyone in the Lejia field. She was looking at it in stunned silence when she heard Zhou Qiufeng ask her, "Look." Zhou Qiufeng then looked at the other side that Zhou Qiufeng was facing: "Qiufeng, the person in the row opposite you and on the edge of the field is Lele?!"

"Yes." Zhou Qiufeng replied smoothly. , turned around and looked over, and took a hissing breath, was Lele really over there?

In just a short while, a large piece of rice fell down on the side of the field. I saw people bending down and lowering their waists constantly. The sound of rushing and swishing was as dense as several ears. Individuals working at the same time.

Zhou Qiufeng immediately started trotting, bypassing a patch of uncut rice, standing in the space where the cut crops were cut and looking at the child. He saw Lele lowering his head, grabbing the rice seedling stalk, and brandishing a knife. , the movements were so coherent that they were almost uninterrupted, and the speed was beyond her reach.

After watching for a few minutes, she silently ran back to her seat and smiled at Sister-in-law Liu: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. We are getting old."

"I I just want to say that you stepped on shit and picked up a good girl for nothing. She is both civilized and military." Sister-in-law Liu was jealous to death. Her two sons and daughters were also relatively good. They were not embarrassed because they were born in rural areas. They also helped when they came home. They work in the fields, but compared with the girls from the Le family, her children seem squeamish. If compared with Zhang Jing, Le Yun left Zhang Jing more than ten blocks away, and Zhang Jing couldn't even catch up.

The Lejia girl is good at studying, has a good temper, has a filial piety, works in the mountains and fields, and is proficient in all housework. Such a good girl can't be found even in a lantern.

Therefore, Zhou Qiufeng really got a big deal when she married into the Le family.

"You can be jealous, I don't mind." Zhou Qiufeng was not ashamed and smiled proudly.

Sister-in-law Liu hummed a few times and went to work by herself. Her family still had a rice field but no pears. If she got the last field, she could help the Zhou family cut grain tomorrow.

It is cool in the early morning, and villagers rush to cut rice, which is more efficient than in the afternoon. Therefore, it is generally fine to cut the rice in the morning and thresh the rice in the afternoon. If it does not rain, the seedlings will be cut down the day before and the next day. If the weather is not good, you don't dare to do it. If it rains, the millet will be soaked in water and it will sprout all day and night.

The weather has been very good these three to five days, and many of them were cut on the first day.The seedlings were felled and the grain was threshed the next day. Soon the rumble of machines and the sound of pear machines were heard everywhere, and the field was very lively.

Zhou Chunmei cut a few rice seedlings, stood up, took a rest, and then started working again. She was also the slowest. The others had gone far away, and she only cut down a small bunch.

She cut a row close to the field ridge. Every time she stood up, she saw a large piece of land lying on the opposite side, getting closer and closer to her. Because she didn’t see anyone, she always thought it was her aunt, and there was no one there. Paying attention, when the sounds became more and more intense and closer, she stood up and watched.

At some point, the person on the opposite side was approaching her, only five or six meters away. Then, she saw the person, it was Le Yun!

Zhou Chunmei looked at the swaying rice seedlings, and her whole body felt bad. What speed was that? She watched for several minutes, then lowered her head to do something. There was another intense swish, swish, and swish, and soon, the two of them collided.

"Sister Chunmei." Le Yun cut several seedlings and opened up one side. When she saw Zhou Chunmei staring at her, she called out, lowered her head, and went to cut rice again.

Zhou Chunmei watched, watching helplessly as Le Yun knocked down a piece of rice seedlings that she had not cut, and then moved forward. The width of the rice rows that Le Yun cut down was equal to twice hers. The total area, then It's simply incomparable

She looked at Le Yun, her face flushed red, she gritted her teeth, found a spot to cut in, and silently cut the rice.

Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou didn’t notice it at first. When the whole field was half-turned down, the Zhou family and his wife discovered the Lejia girl’s god-level speed. They were dumbfounded at the time, and what was even more depressing was that Even though the Lejia girl has fast hands, she doesn't seem to know what back pain is. It's rare to see her standing upright to rest.

There is a super-speedy classmate Le and a quick-handed Zhou Qiufeng. A large field of more than two acres was cut down in less than an hour.

The expressions of the four members of the Zhou family are particularly wonderful.

After getting the largest piece of field, go to the second piece, which is next to the big field, which is the other piece of land obtained by the Le family when they were divided. It is only 2/3 centimeters, and combined with the big field, it is exactly 2 acres and 7 cents. point.

Xiao Tian was handed over to the Zhou brothers and sisters. The Zhou family, his wife, Leyun and Zhou Qiufeng went to the third block, a little below Xiao Tian.

Grandma Zhou took the rice dumplings to the field at ten o'clock. Zhou Qiufeng and others had already cut several fields. When Grandma Zhou saw how fast Xiao Lele was cutting, her eyes almost fell off the field. Went in.

The old man was too frightened. When everyone ate, she was still a little dizzy on the way home. However, because of Le’s outstanding speed, she was seen by several villagers, so Le As a result, the reputation of our girl's quick hands slowly spread.

At the same time, because of the existence of Sister-in-law Liu, the news that Zhou Qiufeng married Yueqing also spread.The villagers could accept it when they heard that the Lejia girl was faster than Zhou Qiufeng, but when they heard the news about Zhou Qiufeng and Yueqing's marriage, everyone's jaws dropped to the ground in shock.

It was almost noon, the sun was scorching hot, and the villagers did not finish work until nearly twelve o'clock. However, the Zhou family and others cut down almost all the rice in the Lejia paddy fields.

Back home, Zhou Qiufeng wanted to feed the piglets and see if the hatched chicks had shells. Leyun went back to the room and ran back to the space, collecting matsutake mushrooms crazily and picking all the fungi from more than a dozen pots. Went out again and went to Zhou's house for dinner.

Grandma Zhou was happy, the Zhou brothers and sisters were hit hard, so they didn’t say a word.

They only rest for more than an hour at noon. Before two o'clock, the villagers go to the fields in spite of the sun. The Zhou family is no exception. They use a tricycle to pull an electric threshing machine, diesel engine, and tools, and they rush to the fields quickly. .

The electric threshing machine will spin non-stop after it is started. As long as the rice ears are fed continuously, the four people of the Zhou family and Le Yun and Zhou Qiufeng, a total of six people, two rounds, just this round After threshing the rice, it goes down and another round is used to make up for it. The machine is never empty. It saves fuel and is highly efficient.

When the millet accumulates in the threshing machine barn for a certain period of time, people come out to load the millet, and some people continue to thresh; over and over again, more and more bags are filled with millet.

The harvesting is very fast, and the threshing may not be able to keep up. The main thing is that people have to be evenly loaded with millet. Every period of time, we have to refuel, move the machine, and after plowing a field, we have to tie straw. , and move all the straw to the field ridges or open areas for storage, and release water into the fields.

Therefore, after a long day, not all the grain that the Zhou family cut down in the morning was threshed, and there was still a piece left.

In the past, the Zhou family only gave them a quarter of the grain for growing Lejia's fields. When it was time to harvest this year, Brother Zhou thought of his sister's contribution and gave him 50-50 for half a year's hard work. To Roca.

The rice is weighed and distributed in the fields. The total weight of each field is first weighed, and then half is weighed. The bags containing the millet are divided into two piles, one for each family.

Zhou Qiufeng collected the grains unceremoniously. After saving a certain amount, he sent them home first, and moved some to put them upstairs to dry. Since the grains were not harvested in the morning, the floor in front of the Lejia house was still used by the Cheng family to dry the grains first.

The Zhou family didn’t finish work until it was almost dark. Le Yun and Zhou Qiufeng returned home. Le’s father finished the housework, helped the girl take back the medicine that had been dried, and piled up the millet that had been dried upstairs. , covered with a raincloth, and cooked food, waiting for the mother and daughter.

Mother and daughter ate quickly after taking a shower, because they had to work tomorrow and went to bed early. In fact, Zhou Qiufeng didn't feel very tired, but she couldn't resist Yueqing's insistence and went to bed early.

Le Yun eats space products every day, which gives her a lot of strength. She doesn’t have any back pain at the end of the day. She works hard at space again at night.

The next day, the crops were cut again.

The Cheng family also finished the last bit of work and went to the Zhou family to help. Cheng Youde's cousin Cheng Youliang was also there. His wife went to harvest grain for her parents' family, and only Cheng Youliang came to work at the Zhou family.

With more manpower, Brother Zhou just transported fertilizers to the fields and pear fields. Because there were enough manpower, the remaining fields of the Zhou family were cut in less than half a day. There was still time to thresh in the morning, and in the afternoon, All threshed the grain successfully.

We had dinner at Zhou’s house in the evening, and Le’s dad also passed by;

The light came again, and it was the 31st.

The Zhou family began to plant rice seedlings. In the middle of the morning, a nest of chicks hatched by Zhou Qiufeng came out of their shells. Grandma Zhou stayed there for a long time and helped to pick up the shells. Because the weather was too hot, they could not be cooked. It was around ten o'clock. Zhong put a nest of chickens in the back garden of Lejia to play.

Le Yun came home at noon and saw the fluffy chicks. She happily played with them. When feeding the chickens, she secretly stole the chickens, poured out the water for the chickens, and replaced them with water. Go up to the well water in the space and use the well water to soak rice for the little chicken.

Double rush, everyone went out at dawn and returned at sunset. With more people and greater strength, the Zhou family only needed two and a half days to finish everything except the rice fields.

And the Cheng family brothers also learned what it means to be an "all-rounder" and what it means to be a great person. The girls from the Le family are quick to cut crops, tie straw quickly, thresh and thresh rice quickly, transplant rice seedlings, etc. , that makes people want to beat her, the speed is faster than a hen pecking rice, the distance between the seedlings seems to have been measured, the length and width are about the same.

The Cheng family brothers have only one expression: a capitalized expression!

Originally, many people didn’t believe it when they heard that the girl from Lejia was so fast, so they took a detour to observe. However, they went there with doubts and came back in despair.

Those who have witnessed it with their own eyes have only one thought: please come to my house to help next year!

The Cheng family brothers went home after lunch, either to help their friends or to do their own business. The Zhou family couple and Zhou Qiufeng Leyun went to clean up the rice fields in the afternoon.

Spread agricultural fertilizer on the pear field, then spread compound fertilizer, rake it once, and you can transplant the rice seedlings.

When Brother Zhou and Zhou Qiufeng were spreading compound fertilizer, Le Yun's cell phone rang. She probably guessed who it was, so she took out her cell phone, took a look, answered the call, and said a few words. Everyone said that an express package had arrived on the street, and she went home to pick it up.

Brother Zhou and other elders let Le Yun do as she pleased. Zhou Chunmei softly cooed, "I clearly want to be lazy," but did not dare to say it loudly.

When Leyun heard Zhou Chunmei’s muttering, she didn’t care. She rode her bicycle and rushed home. She picked up a backpack, took out a bunch of money from the space, and flew to Xiangjie.

It was not a street day, there were no stalls on the street, and the sun was bright. Even the few stall owners who were displaying fruits and selling some frozen meat in the open air went to street shops.Stay out of the sun in front of your shop.

The bus from the county seat to Jiudao Township has not arrived yet, and the open-air parking lot and streets are empty.

Le Yun pedaled her bicycle and arrived at the place. She took a look and saw, okay, no one was anywhere. She parked the car, sat in the car, opened her umbrella and waited.

About seven or eight minutes later, a motorcycle drove towards Jiudao Township from the county town. The owner of the motorcycle looked around. When he saw the person holding an umbrella, he went straight to the target.

When Leyun saw the approaching motorcycle, a big smile blossomed. What she wanted finally came.

When the motorcycle stopped, Le Yun also closed her umbrella and threw it in the basket of the car, saying thank you to the person who brought the things. The man was in his fifties and smiled apologetically: "Classmate Le, right? ? Sorry, I’m late. It’s my first time here and I’m not familiar with the road, so I ended up taking a detour to Shangzhuang Township.”

“It’s okay.” Le Yun expressed understanding.

The car owner parked the car, untied the plastic basket tied to the back seat, untied the rope, moved the basket to the ground, opened the lid, and placed green branches inside, followed by two bags of soil. Bag of herbs.

"Click a little and see if the number is correct." The man took out the bag and asked the little classmate to count it by himself.

Le Yun squatted down and looked at the herb leaves. One pack was Angelica sinensis, and the other was ginseng. They were relatively small seedlings. Ginseng has one leaf per year. You can tell by looking at the leaves that they are all annuals. Angelica is also very young. Small, probably one year old or two years old.

　"No need to order, I believe you." She did not count, confirmed that there was no adulteration, lifted the bag and put it in the front basket of the bicycle, put both bags in, and then covered it with the branches left by the owner of the bicycle. The surface blocks the sun.

The car owner closed the basket, put it aside, opened the trunk at the back, and gave a large bag of dry medicinal materials to the little classmate.

Le Yun put the dry medicinal materials into her backpack, took out the money to pay, and paid a full three thousand. The owner counted them, wiped his sweat, and smiled in his eyes: "Little classmate, we will need medicinal materials in the future. We call and we will still deliver to your door.”

He and his friends rented ginseng, angelica root, and dendrobium from the mountains in Shennong Mountain. They usually only sell dried products. The day before yesterday, they received small My classmates called and wanted to buy fresh ginseng and angelica. They were really unwilling to accept the business at first. Firstly, it was a small business. Secondly, the requirements were too high and they wanted freshly dug seedlings.

They thought over and over again, and finally took over the business because the person who bought the medicinal materials was the number one scholar in science in Province E. Don’t forget, the young number one scholar studied at the Medical Department of Qingdao University, and those who studied medicine were related to medical materials. Direct contact. If the young scholar succeeds in his studies, which hospital or clinic will he go to? Naturally, he cannot do without medicinal materials. If he shows up there, he might be able to sell products to the hospital through her in the future, or sell medicinal materials to her. .

Making a livingKnowing that connections are very important, they agreed to deliver the goods to your door and pay on delivery. If no one picks up the goods at the delivery location, that's okay. They still have the medicinal materials in their hands anyway, and they only lose a little oil.

"Okay, if I still need it, I will give priority to your medicine garden." Le Yun is happy to be kind to others, although she suffered a loss. A freshly unearthed ginseng costs 200 yuan, and Angelica sinensis costs 50 yuan. , the asking price is very harsh, who told her that she is in urgent need of ginseng and angelica seedlings.

The most important thing is that she is too young to ride a motorcycle. Taking a bus to the medicine garden to buy it takes time. Asking someone to buy it on her behalf means she owes a favor and has to explain the reason to others. It is too troublesome. , Yaoyuan is willing to deliver the goods to your door, please be more expensive.

Even if it was a polite reply, the car owner expressed joy. He advertised the medicinal materials he grew without leaving a trace, tied up the plastic basket, and said goodbye to his elementary school classmates.

After buying ginseng and angelica seedlings, Le Yun was very happy. She rode her bicycle back to the village and rushed home. She threw away most of the seedlings and left a few in bags. She put them in the living room first and locked the door. , went to work in the fields again.
