August 25.

Li Fan's family had already got up as soon as it was dark. Today is a busy day, but also a harvest day.

Li Fan took advantage of his mother's breakfast time and punched outside the yard for a while. Boxing exercises every morning has become his habit.

Just after punching, Sanshu and Sanniang came over with the basket. Even the little girl followed behind, yawning as she walked, as if she was not awake. Today I played Li Fan’s millet, and my third uncle’s family was eating here.

"What are you going to do?" Li Fan asked, looking at the sleepy little girl.

"I'm going, it's fun." After the little girl finished speaking, she yawned again and followed Sanshu into the yard. Li Fan smiled and went back to the yard, ready to have breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone is ready to set off. The first stop is Dongzitian.

Dad is carrying the mixing bucket, and the third uncle is carrying the three-pick basket, and there are several sickles in the basket. Li Fan is carrying a double threshing machine. The threshing machine is stepped on by manpower and can be used by two people at the same time.

The threshing machine has only emerged in the last ten years. With this thing, threshing is a lot easier. When there was no threshing machine in the past, it was operated entirely by manpower, which was a lot more tiring than now.

The villagers called the former purely human threshing as "hand-mixed barrels." Now if there are young people in the village who say that threshing is tired, they will often be educated in this way by the father’s generation, "Now that I have a threshing machine, why are you tired? Back when I was as old as you, it was all "hand-mixed" Bucket', I never shouted tired."

On the road, I came across many villagers carrying baskets, mixing buckets, and threshing machines one after another. It was early at this time, but there were no tourists. After the construction of the hotels and restaurants in the future is completed, there should be tourists in the village at this time.

Half an hour later, Li Fan's family came to Dongzitian. There are two villagers who are earlier than Li Fan and they have already finished a short shot.

Take off the slippers, the trousers are not tied. Li Fan, my parents, and the third uncle and the third wife took a sickle and went straight down to the field and began to harvest rice. Everyone was wearing long trousers, and the trousers stepped in the water together. It can prevent mosquitoes and cuts from seedlings.

The little girl and the bear children of the other two families were fighting on the Tianhu.

The cave fields are thick fields with deep mud and fat and water, and people step on them and sink deeply. It's a little bit difficult to move. But the yield of rice will be larger than that of dry land. In addition to the current Dongzitian in Li Fan's house, there is also a square field which is also a thick field. The other four open fields are dry fields.

Of course, there is another advantage of Noda, which is that it is easier to move the mixing bucket. In addition, I will encounter a fish and a lobster from time to time. It's also more interesting than Gantian.

Dry fields do not have water all the year round, and only plow the fields to store water during the rice planting season. In addition to growing rice, dry fields will also grow some other things, such as rape.

Several people were talking while cutting rice. Mom, Dad, and Three Uncles and Niangs are all sighing, the older they are, the health seems to be getting better and better. Now that I have cut so much rice, I don’t feel tired at all. I feel much easier than last year.

Li Fan laughed straight, and didn't say why. Just saying that good health is a blessing. It shows that their blessing has arrived. Naturally, my parents laughed and scolded.

The part of Dongzitian belonging to Li Fan's family is rectangular, about 5 meters wide, but about 60 meters long. Now a few people have cut more than 20 meters and can start threshing.

As a result, only my father was left to continue cutting rice, while Li Fan, his mother, and three uncles and three niangs returned to the fields to start threshing.

Several people first hugged the cut rice and put them together in two piles on the left and right. Li Fan and Sanshu dragged the mixing bucket into the water. The half bucket was rectangular, about 2 meters wide, 3 meters long, and about 50 cm deep. The bottom is shaped like a hull.

Li Fan placed the threshing rack on one side of the mixing bucket, and surrounded the other three sides with poles to prevent the grains from splashing out.

Everything is ready, Li Fan and San Shu are alone, stepping on the pedal of the threshing machine with one foot each. With the rhythmic stepping of the two, the threshing wheel spun quickly. Mom and Sanniang were on both sides, handing them rice. The villagers call it "Dihe handle".

At this time, several villagers came to Dongzitian one after another. The sound of the threshing machine fluctuated with each other, mixed with everyone's talking and laughing. A scene of enthusiasm.

Over time, the sun has hung high in the sky. Some tourists also appeared one after another in everyone's sight.

Although the sun has been very strong these days, the village is not boring at all. In addition, there are many places that are still very cool, which is definitely a good place to escape the heat.

Therefore, there are still many tourists who come to the village every day.

Some tourists inquired that these few days are the time for threshing in the village, and they also deliberately brought their children to the village in the past few days. I want the children to see how the rice they eat every day comes from.

The bear children playing on the ridge do not know when they got down to the field. It's a great fun to fish in the area that has been played. If it is normal, the fish is not easy to catch because of the deep water.

But now the water has become very turbid after being repeatedly trampled on. It is relatively easier to catch fish. Coupled with the rumbling sound of the threshing machine and the voice of everyone, the fish was frightened and scurrying from time to time. It's easier to catch it.

Sometimes, the fish will even jump on the rice stalk piled in the field. Of course it will also jump to the pedal of the threshing machine. Li Fan had picked up several carp by his feet, all four-finger-wide carps. After some fish jumped up, before they had time to pick it up, they jumped back into the water.

The few fishes picked up will naturally become a Chinese meal at noon. This can be a gift from nature and cannot be wasted.

As for lobsters and snails, there are even more, and everyone is too lazy to catch them.

After 10 o'clock in the morning, the whole mixing bucket was filled with millet. These millet must be picked back first.

As a result, several people pushed the mixing bucket to the edge of the field. Transfer all the millet in the mixing bucket to the basket, full of three major challenges. Li Fan and Sanshu each picked a pick and went home. Mom followed back to cook. The little girl is also with her.

Dad and Sanniang continued to cut rice, and the remaining one-third of the rice in Dongzitian was cut.

When they returned home, Li Fan and San Shu pour the millet to dry in the yard. In such a big sun, you can enter the warehouse after two or three days of exposure.

After drying the millet, the two returned to Dongzitian.

Around 12 noon, the villagers returned from work one after another, and Li Fan and others were no exception.

After returning home to have lunch. After a short break, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone continued to go out to work.

The Dongzi field in the afternoon was still full of enthusiasm.

It's not just Dongzitian. Today, the whole village is full of threshing machines and the chattering and laughter of the villagers.
