Chapter 253
Arriving at the wheat field, Gu Yunyao sighed with emotion when she saw the endless golden wheat.
When can we use mechanization to harvest wheat? Pure manual labor is too hard.
She hid the small bamboo basket she carried behind her back among the thorns, actually secretly hiding it in the space.
The three mother and son followed the others to the field. The captain shouted to everyone: "A skilled man can work two ridges for eight points. If a woman and child can't keep up, the two of them will work together for three ridges, each of whom will have six work points. One ridge for one person will do. That's it."
Four work points, arranged in order..."
Gu Yunyao asked the two children in a low voice, "How do you choose?"
Lu Damin was angry and said decisively: "Mom, my sister and I occupy three ridges. Now that you are older, how about we occupy one ridge?"
Gu Yunyao felt sad in her heart. Not only did she, an older leftover girl, cross over to be a grandmother, but her children also said that she was too old and was being taken care of. How could she feel unhappy?
Just occupy a ridge, and when these two guys are tired, she will help.
"OK!"
The mother and son soon began to harvest. There were three rows of wheat in a ridge. Lu Damin stood alone and watched how everyone harvested. He followed everyone's example and started harvesting with a sickle.
Lu Xiaohua took four rows of wheat and harvested it.
Gu Yunyao stood next to the children, watching the three rows of wheat being cut.
It felt very interesting at first. After a while, sweat stains appeared on my hands and arms, and I realized that the work of cutting wheat is really not done by humans.
The sweat-stained areas on my hands and arms were scratched and scratched by wheat awns.
Don't scratch it, the more you scratch it, the more itchy it will be.
Gu Yunyao took a look at the weather. It was obviously dry and hot today with no wind. The hot sun would make people sweat.
After glancing at Lu Damin, the brat had some strength and walked in the front.
Lu Xiaohua was obviously almost in trouble, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe her face and hands from time to time. It was obvious that she was suffering the same pain as herself.
Looking at the progress of the three of them, mother and son, it is obvious that the training these days has paid off.
Gu Yunyao watched others casually tie up the wheat after cutting it.
She shouted to her two children: "Bie the wheat before you cut it."
Lu Damin came back and asked: "Mom, sister, how do you feel?"
Lu Xiaohua said with a sad face: "Mom, the back of my hands and arms are so itchy."
Gu Yunyao glanced at the back of her hands and arms, which were scratched red and looked miserable.
She hurriedly said: "Stop scratching. The more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes."
Lu Xiaohua suddenly burst into tears, "Mom, what should I do?"
Gu Yunyao said with a headache: "First tie the harvested wheat. I brought a few bamboo tubes with light salt water. It will be better to wash it."
"All right!"
The mother and son wanted to tie up the harvested wheat, but found that it could not be tied firmly, and it looked wrong when it was loose and loose.
Not far away, Chang Dani, with mung bean eyes, laughed so hard that she sneered meaningfully, "I just said they are not made for work. Have you seen it? Who bundles wheat like this? It's as loose as the waistband of cotton trousers."
Gu Yunyao suddenly remembered the strange thing about the original owner. If there was a cliff ahead of her, she would jump off without hesitation.
What a shame!
Sister-in-law Zhao next to her couldn't stand it and said rudely: "Chang Dani, this is the first time for mother and son to do this work. It's normal that they don't know how to bind wheat."
Gu Yunyao was moved in her heart, there are still many good people in this world.
Sister-in-law Zhao said enthusiastically, "I'll teach you. Come over and take a closer look. First, twist the wheat straw a few times and hold it firmly down..."
Gu Yunyao and her son quickly mastered the trick. Only Lu Xiaohua failed to learn it after learning for a long time. She said upset, "This is too difficult."
Lu Damin said distressedly: "Sister, I will help you tie it, and you will be responsible for cutting the wheat."
Gu Yunyao sighed and said: "Xiaohua, you are getting bored and tired of studying now. I will bring water to help you treat the wound and try again. Your second brother can't stay with you for the rest of his life. He must learn to be self-reliant."
