Chapter 53 [053] Fish basket and shrimp basket
Zhuo Lin's sensibility makes her grandmother and her uncle feel very moved every time. It is precisely because of her help that the two of them can do more work in the field.
The reason why I don’t keep them at home is that there are too many unsafe factors at home, so I would rather have to bring them to the ground.
Usually, when working in the fields, they are from five to seven o'clock. The brothers cook at home and cook dinner and go to school by themselves. At that time, she and Zhuojian were still sleeping. When their brother left, they would go home to have dinner at around eight o'clock. After the meal, they would go to the fields to work until around eleven o'clock, and then they had to go home to make lunch.
In fact, their breakfast is very simple. They either steamed potatoes or sweet potatoes or cook some vegetable porridge. They only have vegetables and pancakes for lunch. As for the pancakes, they are still potato cakes or sweet potato cakes. They have not yet been able to afford them. They have finished eating bean dregs. This time, my uncle didn’t make any more troubles because the summer harvest is coming soon. At this time, there are many vegetables at home, which is enough to eat.
After lunch, I took a rest for a while. When I woke up, I washed it a little at about three o'clock in the afternoon and took a while. At four o'clock, I had to take them to the ground to work. This time I worked until seven or eight o'clock in the evening and went home until dark.
Farmers have such hardships. The so-called facing the loess and facing the sky is the most realistic portrayal.
Then you must ask, are there so many jobs in the field?
There is really, their family's six acres of land plus his uncle's six acres of land, which is twelve acres of land. Basically, the work in the land is handed over to the sisters-in-law, but they didn't go to school before. There is also the children who can help during holidays, or when Zhuo Dajun is not working, they can contribute. The only ones who usually guard are the sisters-in-law.
Moreover, these lands are not entire land, distributed in various places, some are large and some are small.
Before the millennium, most farmers were used to harvesting wheat and rice, because the money for watering and fertilizing pesticides in the fields every year was already a big expense. If they were harvested by machines during harvest, it would be a considerable expense. The price of grain was not high, but if various expenses were included, they would basically not make much money.
My dad has only been at home for less than ten days now, but he has not been idle these ten days, so he has to help someone in the same village make furniture or something.
In his own words, if you can't make money now, it doesn't mean you lose money. Maybe one day all these favors will be used. Aren't the villagers all like this?
When my father was at home, he would take care of her and his brother, so he would sit quietly in the corridor to watch him do carpentry.
Zhuo Lin didn't know carpentry, so she asked. If she asked a few questions, she would give Zhuo Dajun some good suggestions. Her suggestions also came from her previous life's knowledge. Because she walked more and saw more, she knew more. The houses in each place had their own characteristics, and the same was true for furniture.
She even asked Zhuo Dajun why he didn't weave some bamboo baskets and go to the river to catch some fish and shrimps. Zhuo Dajun shook his head and said with a smile.
"Where is that easy to catch? Someone tried it, but it didn't work, and it ran away."
That's because what you did was wrong. Zhuo Lin squatted down and drew a shrimp basket and a fish basket on the ground, and explained the principle seriously.
Zhuo Dajun didn't listen carefully at first, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong and it was rare to look at his daughter seriously.
