Mu Qingye put his hand in front of Li You's eyes, turned it up and down, and said, "It's okay, I'm not red anymore."

Seeing that Li You was indeed almost no longer popular, he nodded and said, "That's good."

Then we started eating, and of course we also had some wine. Li You and Ling Xiaoru each had a bowl, and Mu Qingye had half a bowl.

Mu Qingye's drinking capacity is now a little higher than at the beginning. Although he still gets dizzy after half a bowl, the degree of dizziness is much better than at the beginning.

Very good.

……

The next day.

This morning I still have to go back and help my parents take back the dried corn from the remaining field.

Therefore, Li You got up at 5:30 in the morning.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye also got up.

Originally, Li You planned not to let the two of them go today. It was enough that they went to help yesterday.

Especially Mu Qingye, after all, he has never done that kind of work before, so it will be very hard.

But both of them said they wanted to go today. Just because they went yesterday, they went today. There is a beginning and an end.

Besides, it’s only today. No matter how hard it is, it’s not that hard. Besides, they just broke off the corn cobs from the plants, so it can’t be said that it’s hard work.

Both of them were determined to go, and Li You had no choice but to set off with the two of them on a motorcycle after breakfast.

This time, Mu Qingye sat in the middle.

After returning home, my parents had gone to the fields again.

Li You picked up a bunch of empty bamboo baskets just like yesterday. Then the three of them picked up a bunch of grapes each and walked into the fields while eating.

After arriving in the fields, my parents thanked Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye again.

Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye both said that they couldn't really help, and it was more like just having fun.

Then, just like yesterday, I started breaking off the corn cobs.

Mu Qingye is obviously more handy today than yesterday.

However, even so, I was still sweating profusely and my face turned red soon after.

Ling Xiaoru's situation is better, but not much better.

It’s really a lot of hard work for two people.

Fortunately, the plot of land today is smaller than the plot of land yesterday, so you can go back early today.

Slowly, I finally broke off all the corn cobs.

You can go back.

It was Li You and his father who carried the basket with bamboo baskets, while mom carried the basket on her back.

Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye returned home together.

After pouring the corn in the bamboo basket on the ground, Ling Xiaoru and Mu Qingye had a good rest. After picking grapes to eat, Li You picked up the bamboo basket and went back to the fields.

Same goes for mom and dad.

After each of the three people made three more trips, they finally got all the corn cobs back.

At this point, all the dry corn in the field has been harvested.

Next, you only need to remove all the corn kernels, dry them in the sun, and then put them in woolen bags.

Of course, it can also be stored in a specially built stone cabinet.

Stone cabinets, as the name suggests, are cabinets made of stone, either large or small. They are used to store crops such as corn, millet, wheat, and sorghum.

In the past, every rural household had stone cabinets, and there were several large and small ones.

But now, fewer and fewer people have stone cabinets.

The main reason is that many people now like to buy cylindrical aluminum granaries to store crops.

Including Li You’s family.

When Li You's family built the current house a few years ago, they did not build stone cabinets at all.

The aluminum-skinned granary at home is used to store millet. Therefore, the dried corn kernels can only be packed in snakeskin bags.

Not much anyway.

And it won’t last long, and it will be used to make corn flour and feed it to the chickens.

That's right, it's for feeding chickens. In the rural areas of Li You, dried corn kernels are basically used to feed chickens, ducks and the like.

Either feed it directly, or beat it into corn flour and then feed it with rice bran, wheat bran, etc.

"Boss, after harvesting the dry corn, is there any other major farm work next?" Mu Qingye asked.

"No more for now. However, there will be a more important farm work in the near future." Li You said, "There are large tracts of rice fields in the village. You should have noticed it, right?"

Mu Qingye nodded, "I noticed, the rice fields are very beautiful. Especially when the wind blows, it will form the rice waves often mentioned in poetry, which is very beautiful."

Li You said: "It won't be long before we start threshing millet. That is, harvesting rice. This is the most important farm work of the year in the countryside."

Mu Qingye said: "I think those rice ears are indeed quite full. Boss, do you also plant rice at home?"

Li You nodded, "I planted some, and the total is probably about six points of the field."

"Six points of farmland?" Mu Qingye said, "That's not too little. I didn't expect that your family also grows rice."

Li You said: "I probably won't plant any seeds next year."

Mu Qingye said: "It would be better not to plant. Threshing rice is really hard. Although I have never done it, I have seen people do it in the video."

Li You said: "Now that there are threshing machines, it is much better. Even human-powered threshing machines are much better. When there were no threshing machines before, it was all done by manpower, which was really hard work."

Mu Qingye said: "What I see seems to be threshing with a threshing machine."

Li You said: "Now they are basically threshing machines. There are very few pure manpower."

Mu Qingye nodded, "Boss, when your family is threshing rice, you must come back to help, right? You can tell me when the time comes. I want to come and have a look. I have never seen rice threshing in real life.

”

Li You nodded, indicating that it was okay.

If Mu Qingye wants to go to the scene to take a look, Li You will naturally not object. Just don’t let her help with the work then.

Mu Qingye really can't do the job of threshing rice.

Seeing that Li You agreed, Mu Qingye was very happy. He finally had the opportunity to experience rice harvesting on site.

Ling Xiaoru thought in her heart that if the time for paddy harvesting at home is staggered, I will come too.

Ling Xiaoru also grows rice at home. When the time comes to harvest rice at home, she will definitely go back to help.

Even though she might not be able to help much if she goes back, she should at least be considerate.
