Chapter 426 Grabbing
Children are all like this, they all like new things. In fact, many wild fruits do not taste as good as those in the orchard. They are sour and small, but children all like to eat wild fruits.
In the blink of an eye, the rice in the paddy fields was ready to be harvested. Several people got up early in the morning and went to the fields to harvest the rice.
This year's rice grows much better than last year, and each ear of rice is heavy.
Xu Han looked at the rice in the paddy fields and couldn't help smiling, her face full of joy for the harvest.
"The rice is growing really well this year, with large and full grains. The harvest will definitely be better than last year."
Lu Chuan also smiled and said, "I estimate that the yield per mu of land will increase by at least 30 to 40 kilograms compared to last year."
While cutting rice, Grandpa Zhao interrupted, "Hahaha, this is all thanks to Xiaohan's idea of composting. If it weren't for the abundant manure, we wouldn't be able to grow such good millet."
"Yes, we have so much land at home. If there is no compost, the manure will definitely not be enough. As for the good harvest, the biggest contributor is my wife."
The flatterer Lu Chuan is online again. Xu Han said that she still enjoyed Lu Chuan's flattery very much.
A few people started harvesting while chatting and laughing. After working for a few days, they finally harvested all the rice in the field.
After the rice was harvested, everyone started preparing to harvest the soybeans.
Before dawn that day, Grandpa Zhao woke everyone up.
"Xiaochuan, Xiaohan, hurry up and get up. I think the weather is not very good. It may rain soon. Let's go to the fields early today and hurry to harvest the soybeans. The soybeans in the fields are ripe. If it rains heavily, the soybeans in the fields will not be harvested."
The two people who were sleeping had no time to react when they heard this and immediately got up from the bed.
Rain is a big deal. If the soybeans are not harvested in time, after a heavy rain, the ripe soybeans will crack and fall to the ground. They will sprout after the rain. Then the soybeans that you have worked so hard to grow will all turn into bean sprouts.
Xu Han didn't want to keep eating bean sprouts. When she thought of this, she put on her clothes faster.
When the two men came out, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao had already prepared their tools. When they saw the two men come out, they opened the door and walked into the field.
Seeing this, the couple hurriedly followed. It was not yet bright, but they could still vaguely see the environment.
A few people couldn't wait until dawn and started harvesting soybeans in the dark. Although harvesting was slower in the dark, they were able to harvest some at least, which was better than just waiting.
With the help of a flashlight provided by Xu Han, the few of them could see clearly, though they couldn't see very far. This was already very good, as at least they wouldn't cut their hands.
We worked in the dark for about an hour before the sky began to slowly brighten. However, because it was cloudy, the sky was not very bright and was foggy.
Xu Han turned off the flashlight, stood up straight and pounded her aching waist. "Everyone, take a break. We have been working for such a long time. Drink some water and eat something. There is no rush."
After hearing this, everyone stopped cutting beans. The Taoist priest and Lu Chuan even sat down on the ground. "I'm so tired. I'm so tired. My sickle is smoking."
Lu Chuan echoed, "Who isn't? I'm always in a hurry. I haven't stopped cutting soybeans. My hands are leaving afterimages."
Xu Han couldn't help feeling a little guilty when she heard what the two said. Although she had been working just now, her speed was far behind theirs.
I couldn't help but doubt myself a little. I stretched out my hand in front of me and took a look. It was full of small cuts. "You guys are too good. You won't cut your hands? I have several small cuts on my hands."
When Lu Chuan heard Xu Han say this, he immediately pulled Xu Han's hand over to take a look. He found that she was indeed cut by the sickle. Some of the wounds had already scabbed over, while others were still bleeding slightly.
"Can you compare with us? Look at your hands. There are few good spots left. You didn't even tell me when you cut your hands. You didn't even treat them in time. What if they get inflamed?"
Xu Han waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, the wounds aren't deep, you see, some of them have healed."
Grandpa Zhao saw it and checked Xu Han. "Go back and wash it first, then apply medicine and bandage it. The wound is not shallow, you can't take it lightly."
Xu Han wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the Taoist priest coldly, "Alright, go back quickly. You are not a big deal in harvesting soybeans."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately got up and went home, then applied medicine and bandaged herself neatly.
Mu'er had also gotten up at this time. Because there was no one at home, Xu Han was afraid that Ze'er would cry when he woke up, so she asked him to look after Ze'er at home.
When Mu'er saw Xu Han's hands were wrapped in gauze, she felt so distressed that tears came to her eyes.
"Mom, does it hurt? Let me blow it for you."
Xu Han touched Mu'er's head affectionately, "Hahaha, my big son, mother doesn't feel any pain."
"Mom, don't go to work in the fields. Mu'er will help you."
"Okay, when you grow up, mom will stop working, and then you can rely on Mu'er to support me."
After hearing what his mother said, Mu'er wished he could grow up immediately, but he knew in his heart that he was still too young and there were still many things he could not do.
After Xu Han wrapped her hands, she prepared to continue harvesting. The sky was getting darker and the rain was about to come.
Mu'er stopped Xu Han from going, "Mu'er, you stay at home and help look after your brother. Mother won't be harvesting beans anymore. She will go to the fields to take a look."
Hearing this, Mu'er stopped trying to stop him. "Okay then! Mother, be careful."
Xu Han thought she was just saying this to comfort Mu'er, but after arriving at the place, no one allowed her to continue cutting beans.
"Before it starts to rain, you should store the harvested beans in the space. There aren't many soybeans left in the field. The three of us will finish harvesting them in a short while."
Seeing that half of the beans had indeed been collected, Xu Han no longer insisted and turned around to put the beans into the space.
After harvesting all the beans, I returned home and put everything in the house to prevent them from getting wet in the rain.
Then he put the beans in the space into the warehouse in the backyard, tidied up the house, turned around and went back to the fields to continue helping.
Everyone was busy with the harvest and had no time to eat breakfast. After working on the farm all morning, the few people were already starving.
Seeing this, Xu Han took out some porridge and buns from the space and said, "Have breakfast first. The porridge has gotten cold. Eating a few mouthfuls of food won't delay you for long. It's not worth it if you starve yourself because of the rush to harvest."
