The Lucky Wife Reborn In the 90s Era Has A Spatial Ability - Chapter 84

84 Chapter 83, Wheat Harvest

The wheat in the field had already turned yellow. Taking advantage of these few days, they had to quickly harvest the wheat and sow the corn. If it was any later, the corn’s harvested would not be the best.

Until last year, the Li family’s household register had a total of five people.

Apart from Li Lei’s household registration book moving to the army, the others were all registered n the Li family.

!!
After Li Xu got married, she did not move out of the household registration book. Her household register had always been in her maiden family’s household registration book. It was not until she bought a house last year that she moved her household registration out.

Five people, one Mu1 and a half of grain crops for each person. The Li family had a total of more than seven Mu of land.

Although Li Xu’s Household Registration was moved out last year, the villagers considered that Li Lei would be back soon, so they did not take back the land. When Li Lei moved his Household Registration back, it would be used for Li Lei’s shares.

These seven Mu of land were all planted with winter wheat now.

After the winter wheat was harvested, two Mu of land was vacated to build a shed. Another two Mu was vacated to plant vegetables in season. The rest of the land was planted with corn.

Therefore, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua hurried home to harvest the wheat.

…

Li Xu first thought of Li Yong when Li Miao was looking for a job.

It would be best if Li Yong’s restaurant was still short of people.

The work in the restaurant was not tiring, and with Li Yong’s taking care of her as a brother, the family could rest assured.

However, unfortunately, Li Yong’s restaurant was not short of people.

“The restaurant business is not very good right now. We have nothing to do every day. How can we still recruit people? If this continues, I think I will have to leave after some time.”

Li Yong, who had been busy for a few days and hadn’t even taken the time to visit Li Miao during the college entrance examination, finally showed up.

Li Xu heard this and started to worry, “If that’s the case, you should look at other jobs as soon as possible. Don’t be unable to make ends meet when the time comes.”

Li Yong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

“Aunty, you’re so amazing, don’t be a dishwasher.” Ji Yuanyuan ran in front of Li Miao and said, “You can earn a lot of money by tutoring others.”

Li Miao was a college student. Wouldn’t it be a waste of talent to wash dishes in a restaurant?

Moreover, the most worthless thing now was to work hard. Knowledge was the most precious treasure.

Ji Yuanyuan’s words made Li Miao’s eyes light up. She hesitated for a moment, then she looked at Li Xu and said, “Since Second Brother’s restaurant is not short of people, I’ll go home first to help Father and Mother harvest the wheat before searching for a job once more. It’s the best if I can find a tutoring job.”

She originally thought that Li Yong’s restaurant would definitely need people, so she stayed behind and didn’t follow her parents back to their hometown.

But who knew that she had miscalculated.

Li Xu Thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s fine, wait for me to come back from the market tomorrow. We’ll go back together.”

Then she looked at Li Yong, “Tomorrow morning, you take the bus back to the restaurant. Leave the bicycle for Miaomiao.”

Li Yong readily agreed, “Got it, just use it.”

The next day, Li Xu went to the market early in the morning. Li Yong made breakfast for Li Miao and the three children before returning to the restaurant.

Li Xu came back from the market at around eight o’clock. After having a simple meal, she and Li Miao returned to their hometown with the three children.

Ji Zi’ang was a little unhappy. He had already thought of all the gifts he wanted and had not had the chance to tell Uncle Zhang yet.

“Mom, why didn’t you wake me up in the morning? I still want to talk to Uncle Zhang.”

Li Xu was pedaling the tricycle in front of them. She said perfunctorily, “I’ll definitely wake you up tomorrow morning.”

They just happened to encounter an uphill slope. Ji Zi’ang and Ji Zixuan jumped out of the tricycle and pushed hard from behind.

Li Xu and Li Miao went home. Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were not there, so they must have gone to harvest wheat.

At this time, machines were not widespread yet, so all the work in the fields was done manually.

When they reached the end of the field, they saw Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua from afar. They were holding sickles in their hands and bending over to harvest the wheat.

In just one day, the old couple had cut off almost two mu of land.

Li Xu took the sickles from the tricycle and instructed Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang, “The two of you wait here. Don’t run around. Keep an eye on your sister, Okay?”

Ji Zixuan nodded, but Ji Zi’ang had already begun to look around.

Li Xu was a little worried and reminded him again, “There are many wells nearby. Don’t run around. Ji Zi’ang, do you hear me?”

Ji Zi’ang only nodded his head haphazardly when his name was called, “I understand, mom. I won’t run around.”

Only then did Li Xu turn around and leave.

Ji Zixuan brought his siblings to the shade of the tree and instructed, “Let’s wait here, don’t go anywhere. If you’re bored, read some books.”

He took out his school bag and took out his textbook, “Zi’ang, this is a fifth-grade textbook. You can learn by yourself first.”

He then took out a picture-story book and placed it in front of Ji Yuanyuan.

In this kind of place, Ji Zi’ang could not calm down to study. One moment he was thinking about the Woodpecker on the tree, the next moment he was thinking about the little bugs in the ditch.

Although Ji Yuanyuan was not interested in the book, she was even less interested in other things.

She sat under the shade of the tree listlessly and looked at the figures of Li Xu and the others.

As far as the eye could see, almost all the wheat in the vicinity had been collected. If not for the delay caused by her aunt’s college entrance exam, her grandparents would have finished collecting the wheat by now.

A moment later, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face.

She felt so hot even though she was standing still under the shade of the tree. Li Xu and the others were working under the bright sun. How hard would it be?

They had to quickly build the shed. When they earned money, everyone would not have to work so hard.

Ji Yuanyuan saw Ji Zi’ang looking at Li Xu and the others who were working in the field with curiosity, and a plan came to her mind, “Second Brother, let’s go and help. The sooner we finish the work in the field, the sooner we can go home. Don’t you want to see Uncle Zhang?”

Ji Zi’ang’s eyes instantly lit up when he heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words.

He pulled Ji Zixuan and said excitedly, “Big Brother, let’s go. We’ll go and help.”

Ji Zixuan stood up, grabbed Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, and followed behind Ji Zi’ang as they walked deeper and deeper into the ground.

In the ground, piles of wheat were piled together. They were golden yellow. As they approached, they could smell the fragrance of the wheat.

“Mom, we’re here to help. What do you need us to do?” Ji Zi’ang asked excitedly as he walked forward.

It was only then that Li Xu realized that the three of them had come over. She straightened up and wiped the sweat off her face, “There’s no need for your help. You can just sit under the shade of the tree.”

Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan’s small face was red from the sun, she took off the bamboo hat on her head and placed it on Ji Yuanyuan’s head, “Are you hungry?”

Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. Seeing that Li Zhiming had already cut a lot, she quickly went forward and piled up the wheat that she had cut into a bundle. Then, she piled it on the pile of wheat not far behind her.

Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang followed suit and did the same.
