Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 264 Harvesting Early Wheat

An Yue looked in the direction she pointed and said with a sweet smile, "Sister-in-law, pick the three big ones! Take them home and we'll have eggplants for dinner."

"Okay, then what does Yueyue want to eat?" Meng Xiuer asked while picking eggplants.

An Yue replied without hesitation: "I'm craving for wild garlic eggplant."

"I may not be very good at making wild garlic eggplant..." Meng Xiuer said with an awkward smile.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, just cook the eggplants first, and Yueyue will take care of the rest." An Yue said as she squatted and pulled out weeds.

Meng Xiuer gently placed the eggplants she had picked in the ditch, turned to An Yue with a smile and said, "Okay, I just need to watch Yueyue do it once, and I'll be able to do it next time."

After pulling out the weeds in the eggplant field, An Yue stood up, clapped her hands, and pointed at the tomatoes next to her with a smile.

"Some of these tomatoes are already red, would you like to try some, sister-in-law?"

Meng Xiuer smiled shyly and nodded, and An Yue immediately understood.

She quickly bent down and picked two red tomatoes, wiped them on her sleeves, and handed them to Meng Xiuer: "One for sister-in-law, one for me."

Meng Xiuer took the tomato handed over by An Yue, and the aunt and sister-in-law took the tomato and prepared to eat.

An Yue took a bite and the tomato juice flowed out from the corners of her mouth.

An Yue swallowed the tomato in her mouth and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! This sour and sweet taste is really good!"

At this time, Meng Xiuer was also eating with a look of satisfaction on her face.

As she ate it, she said, "Yes, yes, it's delicious. It's soft and crunchy, and it's very juicy."

Meng Xiuer, who is pregnant, is craving for this right now!

Meng Xiuer was eating, but her eyes were fixed on the tempting tomatoes on the tomato branch.

"Yueyue, after eating this tomato, I want to eat another one." Meng Xiuer said a little embarrassedly.

"Haha...Sister-in-law is pregnant, so she loves to eat these sweet and sour fruits and vegetables. Yueyue will pick another one for her."

After saying that, An Yue bent down again to pick tomatoes.

After taking it off, An Yue handed it to Meng Xiuer and said with a smile: "However, sister-in-law, after eating this, you must not be greedy again! It is not good to eat too much at once!"

For a moment, Meng Xiuer was too busy to speak, so she could only nod repeatedly to show that she understood.

An Yue turned around, picked a few more red tomatoes, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's add scrambled eggs with tomatoes to dinner!"

After Meng Xiuer swallowed the tomato in her mouth, she quickly said, "Okay, okay, I know how to make fried tomato and eggs."

After picking the tomatoes, he looked at all the tomato trees and said, "Let's protect these tomatoes before the locusts come. We will have more tomatoes than we can eat these days."

After An Yue finished speaking, she squatted down and began to quickly pull out the weeds under the tomato tree.

Meng Xiuer stood at the edge of the field, munching on the tomato in her hand.

Since Daniu Ale often waters the plants, they pull out weeds whenever they see them.

So there were not many weeds in the vegetable garden, and An Yue pulled them all out quickly.

After pulling out the weeds, An Yue stood up and said to Meng Xiuer, "Okay, sister-in-law has finished eating, and I have also pulled out the weeds in the field, so let's hurry back!"

"After we go back, sister-in-law, lie down on the bed and take a nap!"

"okay."

Meng Xiuer lifted the apron around her waist, picked up a few tomatoes and eggplants, and the two of them walked towards home.

Soon, they returned home. Meng Xiuer washed her hands and went back to her room for a nap.

An Yue was wandering around the house, looking for a suitable location to dig a cellar.

……

Time always passes quickly, and before I knew it, two quarters of an hour had gone by.

Chunzhi, Daniu, Ale and the others started to get up together.

Chunzhi washed her face and began to prepare the backpack. Daniu prepared two sickles, and Ale was distributing bamboo strips for bundling wheat in the yard.

They prepared everything, An Yue put on a bamboo hat, and went to the loess with them.

It is early summer now, but the sun is still scorching hot at noon.

In Baili Village, where there has been no rain for a long time, the paddy fields along the road have been dried up and cracked by the scorching heat.

The yellow soil, wheat and weeds on the higher hillsides looked as if they had been blown by a fire.

The wheat leaves planted in the low-lying land have dried up and can only last a few more days.

As An Yue walked, she complained in her heart: [Oh my God! Why is it that when others travel through time, they are either concubines in the harem or the only daughter of a general, and even if they are not as good as them, they are still the apple of their parents' eyes! ]

[How come when I came here, my parents both died, and I was kicked out of the house the moment I opened my eyes. ]

[I've had enough of the days of swallowing my anger. I finally have a few days of comfortable, free and happy life. But a fire broke out in my house, and not even a hair is left!!]

[After working so hard to build a house, life finally improved a little, but we are barely making ends meet!! Now we are hit by drought and locust plague, God~! Please open your eyes! Why do you have to cut the meat with a small knife like this? You should just use a butcher knife! ]

After An Yue finished complaining in her heart, tears and sweat mixed together and dripped into her mouth, both of which were quite bitter.

A few people came to the loess. The wheat was not yet fully ripe, but the wheat ears had completely dried up and turned yellow.

Although the wheat ears have turned yellow, they still exude a hint of greenness.

Ale, who was standing by the wheat field, asked again to confirm: "Miss, are you sure we should harvest now?"

An Yue raised her hand and pointed to the acre of wheat field in front of her, and said to everyone: "Time is running out. We must not only harvest, but also harvest as quickly as possible."

After An Yue finished speaking, Chunzhi, Daniu and the others all bent down and took action immediately.

They held the wheat stalks in one hand and the sickle in the other, and the three of them moved skillfully without any hesitation or delay.

I saw them cutting with their knives quickly and efficiently. They cut a handful of wheat and then gently placed it on the ground.

The three of them were scrambling to harvest, their feet constantly moving forward.

In this way, the limbs of the three of them, like ruthless harvesting machines, kept moving forward to harvest.

At this moment, the sweat on their heads flowed down their foreheads, cheeks, and gathered at their chins, becoming crystal clear.

Occasionally, a few drops of sweat would fall into their eyes, and they would just raise their hands and wipe them quickly.

Seeing how hard they were working, An Yue also started to join in.

The three of them were harvesting in the front. An Yue first placed the bamboo strips she brought from home on the field one by one.

Then, they took the wheat that the three of them had cut and placed on the ground and neatly placed it on bamboo strips, putting it into a pile, waiting for them to finally tie it up.

The whole scene was busy and orderly, and the wheat in the field was constantly being felled.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Half of the one-acre wheat field had been harvested by the three of them.

At this moment, the sun is setting.

Daniu and Ale stood up, put down their sickles, and began to work together to prepare for the end of work.
