Chapter 68 Grabbing

"It's been very boring these past two days. It's not even May yet. Why do I feel like the temperature is not right?"

In the evening, after eating a bowl of shredded pork noodles, Mei Youqian was sweating profusely.

After finishing the meal, he also drank a large bowl of the unused tea prepared by Wei Meili during the day, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Things are not looking good these days."

Not only did Mei Youqian realize that something was wrong, Wei Meili also said this while packing the dishes.

She listened to Mayberry feeding the mules and "fighting chickens" in the yard. She turned to chat with her husband and asked: "How is the wheat in the field these days?"

"It's okay. I heard them say it will be harvested in two more days of drying."

"Can't you collect it in advance these two days?"

"Ah? In advance? But the people nearby are talking about how many days it will be, but I can't tell what the difference is between these two days."

Mei Youqian scratched his head in confusion when his wife asked this question, and asked, "Are you afraid of running into the wheat harvest when doing this tea drink?"

"Where?" Wei Meili shook her head, "You can do Yinzi's things after the Dragon Boat Festival, but you said the weather is bad. I'm worried that it will rain during the wheat harvest, the kind of rain that won't stop."

"Really?" Even though he had not farmed for many years, Mei Youqian still understood the terrible meaning of Wei Meili's words.

If it rains all the time during the wheat harvest season, it will really cost the lives of those who depend on the harvest from the fields!

"I'm just guessing. With this weather, it will be fine for the next two days, but I'm afraid..."

"Hey! It's a pity that there is no weather forecast at this time!"

"What's the weather forecast?"

As soon as Meiberry entered the house, she heard her father let out a long sigh. Seeing her parents' frowning faces, Meiberry was very confused as to what happened while she was out for such a short time.

"That's it..." Wei Meili expressed her worries. At the end of the hearing, Meiberry blinked her big, clear and stupid eyes that knew nothing about farming.

She herself felt numb.

"What will happen if the wheat is not harvested in time when it rains?"

Mayberry asked her parents questions while carefully recalling the plot in the book.

What does the heroine do after the hero leaves?

The heroine is doing business, and the top guys from Lao Mei's family come to make trouble again...

The weather, the harvest, Mei Qian rubbed her temples and still found that nothing seemed to be mentioned during that time.

"It will get moldy and sprout, and all the hard work of the past six months will be lost."

"Then let's do this..."

Before Mei Bei asked if she wanted to find the heroine, she saw her father suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to find the village chief."

Seeing that her father was going out as soon as he said he was going out this late at night, Mei Berry looked at her mother in confusion.

Seeing that her mother had no intention of stopping her, Mei Berry couldn't help but ask: "Why are you looking for the village chief?"

"It concerns the whole village, so naturally we have to go to the village chief."

Wei Meili saw that Mei Bei still didn't understand after hearing this. She smiled unconsciously, poked Mei Bei's forehead with her hand and said:

"If we are really right and this weather may continue, then this year's wheat harvest will definitely be bad. If our family is the only one in the whole village who suffers relatively little damage at that time,

When the time comes, I will inquire again and you will know that we have taken action in advance. You will know that we have taken action in advance.

Since we know it and don’t remind everyone, should we get along with other families in the village in the future?”

Meiberry fell silent after hearing this.

Also, this is a matter related to a year's harvest. Harvest failure is not a matter for one or two families. In the end, even if my family saves some wheat, it will end up causing more people's resentment.

However, Wei Meili and Mei Youqian may have underestimated the wisdom of these farmers who have suffered from small disasters every three years and major disasters every five years.

They thought that they had noticed it in advance, but when Mei Youqian found the village chief at night, the village chief was also mentioning this matter to some old farmers in the village who were indeed experienced in farming.

.

Later, while Mei Mei and Wei Meili were washing their feet at home, they heard the sound of gongs being beaten outside.

Not long after, Mei Youqian arrived at home and said without saying a word: "The village chief said we will start harvesting tonight."

At this time, Wei Meili looked outside her yard. In the dark light, countless torches gradually lit up from the village...

It was the first time for Mayberry to follow her parents to harvest wheat at night.

But she didn't have to go to the fields, she only had to lead the mules to load the wheat from their two acres of land home.

In ancient times, one acre of wheat could only yield more than 300 kilograms per acre at best. With this early harvest, the yield is hard to estimate.

"Berry treasure, if there is no one around when the cut wheat is transported back later, you can just put it into the space."

At night, the sultry feeling during the day gradually subsided, but the strong wind that gradually blew was even more frightening.

Many families are harvesting wheat faster, and many others are also transporting the wheat away one after another.

"By the way, go back and put away all the tables, chairs and benches in the living room, and temporarily put some in the house for show. Don't leave them outside in the yard."

Mei Berry took the mule calf on its first load-bearing operation. Wei Meili and Mei Youqian carefully warned Mei Berry.

Mayberry listened attentively, and then took the mule calves to exercise repeatedly in the fields and at home.

Basically everyone in the village participated in tonight's harvest.

It's just a nationwide rush to collect, but everyone's reaction and handling of this rush to collect are different.

Some people race against time like the Mayberry family, chopping down here and piling up there, and then finding someone to carry them home.

There are still some families who are not in a hurry to take back the wheat. Instead, they plan to thresh the wheat directly at the nearby threshing floor.

It was said that the grains were completely threshed and moved back to save space.

Mei Youqian's lips twitched for a while when he heard about this behavior.

He doesn't understand. He is in such a hurry and still cares about saving space. Isn't he afraid that it will rain heavily and he won't be able to harvest it?

However, there are still many people who choose to do this. After all, some people are not like Mayberry and his family, which only has one or two acres. How can it be possible to cut so many acres of wheat here and pull back all the wheat stalks and ears over there?

Home?

There’s really no place to put it!

Meibei did not know how many times she took her mule calf on a run at night. She only knew that the deeper the night, the stronger the wind would become.

When she once again pulled the mule towards the last three-thirds of their wheat field, a drop of cold rain suddenly hit her face.

Snap.

Immediately afterwards, the second drop followed before Mayberry could react to the first drop of water.

It was at this time that someone in the field suddenly screamed "It's raining", and Meiberry woke up from a dream, pulled her mule and ran towards her field at a high speed.

"It's raining?"

Some people had just harvested all the wheat in the fields, but before they could pile it up, they felt raindrops like jade beads falling from the sky hitting their heads. On their faces, they were dumbfounded at first, and then their faces suddenly turned pale, and they also followed.

The shouting started.

"It's raining! Hurry, take home quickly!"

"Hey, hey, my wheat!"

"Go home quickly!"

In the darkness, Mei Mei could only hear all kinds of shouts around her. By the time they reached their own field, Wei Meili and Mei Youqian had already piled the last five acres of wheat.

Seeing Mei Bei coming, they quickly asked the mules to carry most of it. Wei Meili and Mei Youqian also carried the rest, and the family hurried home.

The rain is heavy, not only hurting the wheat, but also hurting people.

On the way home, there was a group of people behind them who were crying and fighting for their own wheat.

Hearing those desperate cries, Mei Berry's scalp felt numb and her legs felt weak.

I don't know why, Mei Berry suddenly thought of Mei You and his family.

I don’t know what happened to the heroine and the others this time.

Mei Berry subconsciously wanted to look for Mei You, worried that the harvesting and transportation would slow down if their family had no animals to help.

But reality soon gave Mayberry the answer.

A slender figure, carrying a load in the dark, walked swiftly and directly passed in front of Mei Berry, who was trotting home.

Although Mei Mei couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she was sure that the person just now was Mei You.

Because no one can carry two loads of wheat at the same time and still move so fast and fiercely!
