Chapter 048: [Being around the corner]
It was fine at the beginning, but as time passed, sweat kept coming out. Although she was wearing long-sleeved clothes, she was still sore and itchy by the wheat. If the sweat soaked, the taste would be even more.
I thought I had suffered for decades, and this was nothing, but I overestimated this tender body.
"Wear." A straw hat was buttoned up on the top of his head. "I know I'm going to go down the floor, but do you remember to wear a straw hat when you go out?"
Xie Zheng saw her red face, sweat was constantly sliding down, and even his breathing became rapid. "Wipe your face first, I'll pick up the water."
Now she really felt difficulty breathing, and her waist and knees were sore, especially her arms, and she wanted to lift her sleeves and scratch them hard.
Looking down at the towel in her hand, she didn't care about the stains on it, and wiped her face a few randomly. Then she felt that it was a little better. She used her sleeves to wipe sweat from her sweat, and she hadn't been in the ground for many years. She didn't remember this basic common sense. Her parents didn't mention it, but she didn't want her to work at all.
Xie Zheng came back soon and poured her a teapot of water from the bamboo basket, "Let you slow down. If you are tired, go to the field to rest for a while. Will your arms hurt?"
"...It's okay." Xu Ning's eyes dodged, she didn't want to act so uselessly.
"Don't come in the afternoon. The sun is even stronger in the afternoon. You will suffer if you have peeled off your skin." I saw that Xu Ning's bundle of wheat was very regular, and unless it was the kind of broken wheat ears, there was almost no left in the field. Even the broken wheat ears were gathered into piles by her. It was obvious that she was careful in her work.
But no matter how careful she looks, it is heartbreaking to see her now.
Xu Ning nodded randomly, held the teapot and sucked water, but his eyes signaled him to leave quickly.
"I'm fine. Anyway, it's only a few days. Otherwise, it would be useless for me if I don't leave this wheat holiday, right?" Isn't it just to help the adults harvest wheat together? And she just feels tired, but there are some things that are not tired at work, and she doesn't think it's anything, she's used to it.
Seeing her like this, Xie Zheng was silent for three seconds, and then left without saying anything else.
I don’t know if he was angry. Xu Ning drank a lot of water, placed the tea jar on the ridge of the ground, bent down to continue working.
Xu Jianjun, who bent down to harvest wheat in front, would occasionally look back at Xu Ning. He was surprised to see that she had been bent down to work all the morning.
His baby girl is so cute. Xu Jianjun, a father-in-law, knows more about this. After all, Xu Ning inherited his wife's personality. Qin Xuejuan was also a delicate girl back then, but later, because of her own relationship, she was worn out a lot of that kind of delicate aura by life. Who knew that she gave birth to a daughter but inherited most of it.
However, because both of them are making money now, it is very simple to support a daughter, and there is no strict requirement for her. At worst, the daughter will marry nearby in the future, so that the couple can take care of her.
Who would have thought that when I saw this child was not slacking off at all in his work, nor did he complain about hardship and fatigue. I really don’t know how he changed his temperament.
"Grandma, it's getting too early. You can take Ningning back early." Xie Zheng walked over with water and said to Gao Xiulan.
Gao Xiulan looked up at her grandson and smiled and said, "It's only 9:30, and I'll go back at half past ten."
But after saying that, she saw her grandson wink at her, and then she suddenly realized, "Okay, it's better to go back early."
She took the teapot from Xie Zheng, and she leaned over to her grandson and lowered her voice: "You guy, you are so stingy."
Xie Zheng was speechless. He didn't think too much about it, so where did he get his mind?
The main thing is to see that the girl doesn't know the importance of her work. She is obviously so tired that she doesn't know how lazy she is, and she bent down and does it with her head in a hard way.
The sun above his head was so strong that he felt so hot that his whole body was itchy and uncomfortable, let alone this delicate little girl.
Through this observation, Xie Zheng found that her previous life must have been extremely difficult, which led to a huge difference in her personality.
Ignoring the inexplicable depression in my heart, I grabbed the sickle and continued to squat half-squat to harvest the wheat. He did more, and the girl would be less tired. Otherwise, she would have to endure such hardship throughout the wheat harvest in the past few days.
Xu Ning was still busy, but he saw Gao Xiulan walking over with a bamboo basket.
"Ningning, it's still early, I'll go home with Grandma Gao to cook lunch."
She stood up with sweat on her face, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and looked at the sun above her head, "It's noon so soon?"
"It's not so much. It's almost ten o'clock. If you don't hurry up, they should go hungry." Gao Xiulan patted Xu Ning's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go back and take a break."
"Oh." Xu Ning didn't think much, greeted his parents in the distance, and followed Gao Xiulan home.
When he got home, Gao Xiulan hurriedly asked Xu Ning to wash and cool it down. The girl's white and tender face was directly dried into tomatoes in the past half of the morning. It was pitiful, which made Gao Xiulan feel so distressed.
Xu Ning didn't refuse either. She walked to the washing rack in the yard, scooped two large scoops of cold water, picked it up and patted it on her face. The cool water instantly dispelled the hot heat on her face, making her almost moan. This feeling was so refreshing that she wanted to bury her head directly and not come out.
"Grandma Gao can also wash it." Xu Ning was not too indulgent, after all, she had to help her cook lunch at noon.
"Okay, the weather is so hot that it's life-threatening."
At noon, Xu Ning helped Gao Xiulan prepare a lot of food, including steamed buns, and a full basket of vegetables and vegetables. After all, it is a heavy physical work, so you have to eat some meat to replenish your physical strength.
While tidying up the pottery jars of vegetables, Gao Xiulan said, "Let's cook fish when I come back in the evening. Does Ningning like steaming or braising?"
"I like all kinds of flavors." Xu Ning was telling the truth. She was not a picky eater.
"Then let's steam tonight, braised tonight, and change the styles." Gao Xiulan said with a smile.
After finishing the work, it was half past eleven, and the two of them returned to the field with their prepared meals.
Because the food is afraid of being sprinkled halfway, after it is ready, they are put in a clean and clean pot. When they go to the field to eat, they are poured into a deep plate.
Gao Xiulan was carrying a basket in one hand, while Xu Ning was carrying a basket of steamed buns.
On the way to the field, you can also see several wives carrying food to the field. In the countryside, it was the era when wheat was harvested by man-made wheat. This situation can be seen every year, and it was not until later mechanized replaced artificial labor, which was impossible to see.
