The Big Landlord

Chapter 20: Autumn is refreshing and busy with threshing

With the arrival of autumn, the paddy in Xiushuiwan is already ripe. On the second day after Wang Ben sold out the fish, the sky was clear and it was the best time for harvesting. , the threshing machines roared loudly, and the busy figures ran back and forth in the fields, cheering with joy from time to time.

Wang Ben, who had nothing to do, was not idle either. After a good night's sleep, he took Linglong straight to the field before his home. That field is now owned by Wang De'an's family. Just a few years ago, Wang De'an's three sons married wives and gave birth to children. There were several more people in the household registration book. When the land was re-divided last year, their family took over all .

Just yesterday, as soon as Wang Ben came back from Yongfeng City, he couldn't wait to find Wang De'an, and contracted the land at the current highest price in the village of 1,200 catties of paddy per mu per year. Even the agreement has been signed. The contract fee of 2,400 yuan has also been paid. In just a few days, when Wang Dean's family has finished harvesting the paddy in this field, he can bring it over to plant it.

Finally, there is no need to find a way to grow vegetables and fish. Once the land is obtained, it is not what he wants to grow. The excitement makes him a little unable to wait. He simply goes directly to the field and plans to help harvest together. Hands, close it quickly, and he will get the ground sooner.

Wang De'an's family is busy in the fields. The five mu of paddy is enough for them to harvest for several days. With the current yield, one mu of land can't actually produce the rent of 1,200 catties of paddy, but they can plant other crops after harvesting. Things, and because of this, there is no water in the field now, it is all dry mud, and you can run around freely in it.

After a few simple greetings, Wang Ben rolled up his sleeves and went down to the ground, picking up a sawtooth sickle to help cut the rice. It didn't take long for him to take it anymore, and he kept hunched over and hooked, which was really hard.

"I'll step on the threshing machine!"

After saying hello, Wang De'an's second son was replaced, and he stepped on the mechanical threshing machine. It was a single-person threshing machine. It was very light. It's not hard, I don't feel anything when I step on it for a day, and I feel light when I come down.

I took a handful of rice and turned it three or four times on the fast-moving threshing machine gear. The rice on the ears fell off cleanly, and the golden rice hit the bamboo mat in front of me and fell into the bottom. In the mixing bucket, his speed was much faster than Wang De'an's son, and the person next to him who was in charge of delivering the rice was simply too busy.

He is very motivated to help here, and Linglong has been bouncing around all the time, picking two vines in the field, playing with the white flowers on them, and pulling the ear roots (scientific name: Houttuynia cordata), Put it aside neatly, planning to take it home to pickle and eat, very busy.

"lie!"

A toad suddenly burst out of the straw, jumped directly to her side, and even stepped on her cute little sandal with one foot. This toad is so big, and the yellow bumps on its back are so ugly that I can't bear to look directly at it.

"what!"

Linglong turned pale in shock, and ran away with a scream. She was in a panic and went straight into the rice bush. Just a few steps in, the toad happened to jump in the direction she was running, and it landed in front of her again. This time, it almost didn't make her cry directly.

Hearing Linglong's voice, Wang Ben hurriedly turned his head to look. He just glanced at it, but found that the little girl bent her waist and disappeared again out of thin air, hiding in the space, and this time it wasn't just him, Wang De A family of three or four also saw it.

"Did you go into the straw?" Wang De'an's young daughter-in-law, who was cutting rice, looked around and asked suspiciously,

"Go and find it, the little girl's skin is tender, and her whole body will be cut and rotten," Wang Dean hurriedly ordered.

"I'm going!" Wang Ben's ward jumped out of the threshing machine that was still spinning in a panic, and ran to the place where Linglong disappeared. He stood firmly beside him and blocked the rest of the people with his body. Eyes, pretending to look left and right, looking for Linglong's figure.

Since she just returned to the village to play once, in the past month or so, Linglong has never entered the outdoor space again, planting buckwheat heads and feeding fish, which were all done at home, and this time, Wang Ben suddenly felt great. Not good. He didn't have any consciousness before, but today he suddenly felt how serious the consequences were. Once someone knew the secrets of this space, they would definitely do whatever they could, and how dangerous Linglong should be.

Looking around at this long and square field, he couldn't help frowning. He had to be careful when growing vegetables in the future, otherwise the vegetables in the field would mature soon, and it would be strange not to be suspected by the villagers in the team. Before planting buckwheat, no one had noticed that. Although he had only been feeding the fish for less than a month, no one knew how old he was at the beginning. They only thought that he was growing big fry, which had to be dragged due to the flood. to sell.

Well, he had to build a big shed for this large field to cover the whole field, just like planting vegetables in a greenhouse. He couldn't let others visit it. After making up his mind, he finally felt a lot more at ease.

Not long after, when Linglong finally came out of the space and didn't give her any chance to speak, Wang Ben picked her up, greeted Wang Dean, and left quickly.

When he got home and closed the door tightly, he said solemnly, "In the future, unless there is a last resort, you can't just enter the space when there are people."

"I hide it every time I use it," Linglong is the master of this space after all, and she has this awareness, she defends with certainty.

"That doesn't work either, you have to remember it clearly, otherwise you will be caught by the bad guys!" Wang Ben warned and threatened, sometimes children can't distinguish their priorities, and when they encounter a little difficulty or fear, they will respond when they have time and opportunity. Under the circumstance, he wanted to hide inside. He had to do this to let Linglong know how powerful he was.

"Okay!" Linglong was finally frightened, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

With a little peace of mind, Wang Ben picked up the machete and walked to the bamboo forest next to the house. To build a shed for such a large field, a lot of scaffolding was needed. It would take at least several days to chop bamboo, and it is estimated that half of this bamboo forest would have to be cut. He had to be well prepared in advance.

This bamboo can't just be cut down, it has to shave off the branches and leaves and shave it smoothly, otherwise the plastic sheet is covered on it, and it will be scratched by a gust of wind. This undoubtedly increased the workload a lot, and he didn't cut much for a whole day.

Rarely got up early the next day, and before the dew had dried, he was busy again. Linglong, the clingy girl, was awakened by the sound of bamboo chopping, and ran out, preferring to stand by and watch boredom rather than stay in bed.

"When the sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me..."

Children in the village carried small schoolbags, sang school songs cheerfully, and went to the village primary school in groups. When they saw the lovely Linglong, they came to tease, pinch, touch, and amuse. Linglong went straight to Wang Ben to hide. It's been more than a month since she came to Xiushuiwan, and Linglong has been staying by Wang Ben's side.

"Have you been to school before?" Wang Ben asked with concern after the group of students left.

"..." Linglong shook his head and didn't speak.

"Want to go to school?"

"..." Linglong still shook her head without saying a word.

She already went to primary school at the age of seven, but this girl has never even attended kindergarten! If I send it to school, I'm really worried. If I play hide-and-seek with my classmates and hide in the space or something, I'll be surprised if I don't get noticed. It's hard to guarantee safety. If you don't send them to school, you will delay this wonderful time, and you will not be illiterate when you grow up, and it will really become a machine purely used for farming and making money.

This is really a contradiction, Wang Ben is very distressed.
