After a day of fatigue, the whole family sat together and even talked less while eating, so I really didn’t have the energy to speak.

However, Gu Pozi and Mei still praised Gu Qiao for the food they cooked.

After dinner, Mei cleaned the dishes, Gu Qiao boiled water, and Gu Ma Zi carried a large wooden bucket to mix water and take a bath.

After working on this day, my whole body was sweaty and sticky, and I couldn't sleep without taking a shower.

After taking a shower and cleaning up, Mrs. Gu found that there were blisters on Gu Qiao's palms, so she took a needle and fired them on the fire, and then helped her to pick the blisters one by one.

"Go to sleep." After finishing, Mrs. Gu habitually touched Gu Qiao's head.

Gu Qiao was the first to take a shower. Seeing that Gu Pozi and Mei were still cleaning up, he stopped talking and immediately left the kitchen and went to the wing room to sleep.

She almost fell asleep as soon as her head was next to the pillow.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but sigh, and then silently scooped out the dirty water from the wooden barrel in a basin and poured it out.

After changing the water, she said to Mei Gu who was wiping the stove: "You wash quickly, I'll go to the well to rinse it."

"Where can you do it? The well water is so cold, and it's still outside." Mei frowned, worried.

"Why can't it be? I'll just put some hot water out and mix it. And the yard gate of my home is closed tightly. Besides, I'm not afraid of seeing it. You can wash it quickly and get it done early and have a rest."

There was only a big wooden barrel at home. Mrs. Gu’s move was because she didn’t want to make a fuss until she was too late to delay her rest.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Mei simply shut up and helped her get hot water and brought it out to Mrs. Gu.

After the two finally cleaned themselves up, Mei Shi couldn't help asking Mrs. Gu when pouring water, "Mom, Qiao'er's hands are hurt like that. It's not convenient for your legs and feet to carry heavy objects. Why should our family be anxious for autumn harvest now? Isn't it good to wait for everyone to concentrate for a day to help?"

Mrs. Gu sighed, "Don't I want to? But it's not reliable for others to rely on everything. We can do as much as we can. Otherwise, the weather will really change and we will have nowhere to cry."

Seeing that Mrs. Gu insisted, Mei Shi said something else.

But the next day, Mrs. Gu refused to let Gu Qiao go to the field again, saying that she could not work even if she had broken hands, so she asked her to dry the grain at home, and told her to turn over the rice more, try to dry the millet while the sun was better, and then quickly put it into the granary.

Gu Qiao could only obey the orders, so he obediently dried food at home and was responsible for cooking.

In the afternoon, Shen Zhao came and heard that Gu Pozi and the others were harvesting rice, so they immediately went down to the field to help.

In this way, Shen Zhao came for three consecutive days, every day in the afternoon.

Although others are small, they have helped a lot if they have more people.

Later, Gu Qiao saw the blisters in his palm, and his whole palm was ground. Later, she found out that Shen Zhao had to help Luo Hong cut rice in Luojia Village in the morning before going out to find medicine.

The reason why Luo Hong allowed Shen Zhao to work for only half a day when he was so busy with autumn harvest was because Shen Zhao was small and could only cut rice, but could not thresh grain. Shen Zhao worked fast, and Luo Hong's wife Shen was also cutting rice. Luo Hong thrust grain alone, but the speed of cutting rice was not as fast as the two of them. Second, because Luo Hong could harvest rice slowly, the value of medicinal materials was much greater. Now Shen Zhao is his money tree, so he of course chose to let Shen Zhao dig medicines to create greater value.

"Then you come and help with the autumn harvest. Where can I find the medicine? If I can't find the medicine, will he beat you again?" Gu Qiao asked while applying the crushed herbs to the water blister that Shen Zhao picked.

"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I visited the mountain and found some medicines but didn't pick them. I just need to get two plants when I go back. It is normal that the medicine is not easy to pick after the autumn season, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be rushed to the mountain to find medicine in winter." Chen Zhao replied.

Gu Qiao sighed, knowing that he had a very good idea. Even if he wanted to persuade him not to help, he would not agree. He simply did not waste his words and let him go.

But the only thing that is worth being happy is that Chen Zhao can have some full meals at their house these days.

After five days of busy and tiring life, the villagers finally collected their own food.

On August 21st, everyone worked together and spent only half a day to get the three acres of rice from the three acres of land that Mrs. Gu had not had time to harvest.

For those who entertain everyone, the breakfast is white porridge, mooncakes with pickled cucumbers, and lunch is steamed big white rice and the large pot of autumn eggplant and cabbage fried by Mei's.

At this time, two bags of rice harvested by Gu Qiao's family had dried after the festival. Mrs. Gu opened the granary and thoroughly cleaned the granary, cleared the spider webs and dust, and then poured the grain into it.

This is the first time Gu Qiao has carefully looked at his own granary.

The granary is made of wooden boards and looks like a raised wooden house, square.

The four corners are four thick pillars, and there is also a large pillar in the middle of each wall plate, with a total of eight large pillars standing firmly on the ground.

The bin plates are embedded in two adjacent large pillars in turn, thus forming a cube granary.

The base and ceiling are made of wooden boards, but the base is suspended, about one and a half feet high from the ground, mainly for moisture protection.

Not only that, the wooden boards on the base also extend out to the front, allowing people to stand on the granary to facilitate loading and unloading of grain.

At this moment, Gu Qiao and Mrs. Gu stood on the wooden board, poured all the dried grains in, and were about to close the warehouse door.

The warehouse door is made of piece of wood, each piece of wood is about two feet long and four inches wide. The order is marked with a brush, from one to ten, and you cannot miss the position, otherwise the granary will not be closed firmly, easily leaking the grain, or it may be easy to close the last wood board.

In addition to being marked with text, graphics are also used on the wooden board of the warehouse door.

If you close the warehouse door in order, you will find that the entire warehouse door will form a pattern with the character "eight", so when closing, you only need to piece the oblique strokes and strokes together. This is also the wisdom explored by the working people.

Anyway, Gu Qiao, the farmer novice, will close the warehouse door after taking a look, so there is no need to worry about getting the wrong wooden board.

"Qiao'er, I'll close the warehouse. So fast, hurry up and collect the grain with your mother. I'm watching the weather seem to be changing." Mrs. Gu hurriedly took the wooden board from Gu Qiao's hand and preached to her.

Gu Qiao turned around and saw that the sun was blocked by the clouds. In just a moment, the sky became much darker. The tops of the continuous mountains in the distance of the west seemed to be covered with dark clouds.
