Siheyuan: After being reincarnated as a master's daughter
Chapter 253: Pig Grass Cutting Experience
The two were in a free love relationship, and the parents of both families agreed to the marriage when they saw that they were a good match.
Daya sat there quietly listening to everyone talking about her marriage. Gradually, her fair face turned red like a ripe apple, and her shyness was beyond words. She lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, and never dared to look up at the eyes of the people around her. Finally, she could no longer bear this embarrassment, and muttered softly, "I'm sleepy, I want to go to bed," and then hurried back to her room like a frightened little rabbit.
Seeing this, everyone smiled at each other and continued chatting. As the night went on, the topics gradually became scarce. Someone yawned, and as if it was contagious, one after another yawned. So everyone got up, said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms to rest.
The women slept on the same kang, while the men went to another room and slept on another kang. However, it was an extremely hot night, and the few thin quilts in the house could not meet the needs of everyone. After some discussion, they decided to distribute the only two thin quilts suitable for summer use.
One of the beds was naturally given to Lin Ying and He Zhiguo, after all, Lin Ying needed to take care of the young He Zhiguo and sleep together; the other bed was given to Yi Jiale and He Zhiyuan. As for the others, they could only make do with a coat or a small towel to cover their abdomens to resist the slight chill of the summer night.
This morning, when it was still early, Captain Lin's daughter-in-law had already gotten up. After she dressed and washed herself, she walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family. At the same time, Daya also rubbed her sleepy eyes and came to the kitchen to help. The mother and daughter had a tacit understanding, and soon the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.
On the other side, Erya and Datou took Lin Xiong and the newly arrived Yi Jiale to the grassland outside the village to cut grass for the pigs. Along the way, the children talked and laughed, and it was very lively.
This pig grass is not simple. It is not only an important source of feed for chickens, but also a delicious food for pigs and cows in the brigade. Therefore, someone needs to go and cut enough pig grass every day. Cutting pig grass is relatively easy and labor-saving, so it is usually done by children in the village. According to convention, if a child can cut the amount of pig grass required for a day, he can get two centimeters as a reward.
For Yi Jiale, who grew up in the city, all of this was so fresh and interesting. She looked at the surrounding fields with curiosity, and bent down from time to time to touch those unknown wild flowers and weeds, feeling the magic and beauty of nature. Watching her friends skillfully swinging sickles and quickly harvesting bundles of pig grass, Yi Jiale couldn't help but feel an urge to try. So, she asked Erya to give her a try with the sickle, and she also picked up a sickle like everyone else and carefully joined the team of cutting pig grass.
Yi Jiale frowned, staring at the sickle in her hand and the pig grass in front of her, afraid that the sharp blade would hurt her delicate hands. She was so careful every time she cut, her movements were as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake, and she could only cut the tough pig grass bit by bit.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in just a few minutes, Datou had already cut a whole basket of pig grass. He turned his head to look at Yi Jiale, and after seeing the pitiful results beside her, he shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said: "Second sister, can you hurry up? Let's finish cutting and go home for breakfast!"
When Yi Jiale heard this, her face flushed. She looked at the few pig grasses beside her with some embarrassment, and then looked up at the basket full of pig grass. She felt even more ashamed. After hesitating for a moment, she finally handed the sickle in her hand to Erya with a red face, and then lowered her head silently.
Erya took the sickle and began to show her skills without saying a word. She held the handle of the sickle with both hands, grabbed a handful of pig grass, and then swung the sickle without hesitation. With a "swish", the handful of pig grass was cut off in an instant, cleanly and neatly, without any delay. In this way, Erya waved the sickle and harvested the pig grass quickly like a whirlwind. The posture was really vigorous and amazing.
Lin Xiong touched Yi Jiale's head and comforted him: "Tuanzi, don't be discouraged. Everyone has their own advantages, just like you. You are the academic genius of our school."
Yi Jiale spread his hands: "Whatever~"
In a short while, Erya, who was clever and nimble, finished harvesting the green, fresh pig grass. She straightened up, gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and a satisfied smile hung on the corners of her mouth. Then, several other people who worked with her also finished their work. After everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding, they worked together to lift the basket full of pig grass and walked towards the cowshed with brisk steps.
When they arrived at the cowshed, they carefully placed some pig grass in the trough, and watched the strong old cows happily chewing the fresh grass, and everyone's face showed a gratified smile. Then, they rushed to the pigpen without stopping and spread the remaining pig grass evenly into the pigpen, attracting the round and chubby piglets to grunt excitedly and rush to enjoy this delicious food.
After all the pig feed was arranged, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The children joked with each other, talked about today's harvest and interesting things, and set off on the journey home with a happy mood. Along the way, the afterglow of the morning shone on them, casting long shadows, like a beautiful and warm painting.
After returning home and having breakfast, villagers came over one after another. There was no work in the fields, so everyone wanted to join in the fun.
At the same time, the Sijiucheng courtyard.
Today is the weekend. Early in the morning, Teacher Lin and Principal Ren came to our door with newspapers in their hands and beaming faces.
Yi Zhonghai was sitting with an old lady and a deaf lady eating breakfast. When he heard the noise, he came out to see that it was Principal Ren and Teacher Lin. Although he was very confused, Yi Zhonghai asked them to come over and sit down to eat breakfast.
The aunt first poured a glass of water for the two of them. They drank the water in the cup in one breath, then their faces were red and they said excitedly: "Master Yi, isn't classmate Yi Jiale at home?"
"Yes, that's right. The kid has gone to the country to attend a wedding. I have to go with him to join in the fun. He won't be back for a few days."
"You two are here?"
Principal Ren smiled impatiently and said, "Master Yi, have you picked up today's newspaper yet?"
"Hey, take a look at this newspaper of mine."
