Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 323: Busy Farm Season 2

I rode my bike out of the village and entered the space in a deserted place.

After a while, Hou Xiaoge came out with two backpacks and placed them on the back seat of the car.

It was time for dinner and time was running out, so Hou Xiaoge hurried back, lest it would be bad if the other families didn't go back first.

When he returned to the field, he happened to see several families cleaning the canal not far away, and Hou Xiaoge hurriedly stopped them.

"Uncle, Erda, you don't have to go back to eat. I bought some food." Hou Xiaoge quickly greeted the crowd.

"No, no, you keep it for your mother and Shuanniu and the others. We can go back and eat it, and have a good rest." Several elders refused.

"I bought six roast chickens! Can my mother and the others finish them? They will go bad tomorrow in this weather.

Everyone, go ahead. I also bought some wine. Uncle, you guys can drink some to relieve your fatigue." Hou Xiaoge did not allow any refusal and opened the sack on the backpack.

"Oh my god! Heiwa, you are such a waste of time. How come this roast chicken is so big? It must be three or four pounds.

I don't think I can even buy this with one dollar, what a waste of money." Erda Houminyou said with a painful look on his face as he looked at the basket.

"I'm often not in the house, thanks to you uncles for taking care of me. A little food is nothing, just consider it as having dinner in advance tonight." Hou Xiaoge looked at Erda, who was walking with a limp, and said with a smile.

"Kid, I can't argue with you, but you still have to be frugal. Money is not easy to earn." Hou Minyou patted his nephew who was as tall as him.

"Let's go, sit down and eat and talk." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile while pushing the cart.

"Heidan, go tell your uncle and the others that they don't have to go back for a while and come to the field to eat." Aunt Hou Cuiping said to her cousin Hou Xiaoge who was standing beside her.

"Oh!"

Heidan, who is already nine years old this year, is also a big kid, but when it comes to delicious food, no matter how big a kid is, he is still a kid. He could only watch the roast chicken reluctantly and ran quickly towards the wheat field.

When everyone returned to the big tree at the edge of the field, Wang Maimiao's mother and others had already finished their meal and were enjoying the cool under the tree.

"Shuanniu, come and get some soda." Hou Xiaoge propped up the bike and shouted to his brother who was lying on the straw with his arms and legs spread out.

"Soda? Coming, coming." When the little guy heard about soda, his eyes lit up and he ran over with a somersault.

Hou Xiaoge took out the roast chicken, steamed buns and cold dishes from one backpack and asked her second aunt, younger sister-in-law and eldest cousin's wife to share them, and then started to take things from another backpack.

There were still a dozen large steamed buns on the top layer of the backpack. After taking out the steamed buns, a cotton quilt was exposed underneath.

"Heiwa, why are you putting the quilt in this backpack?" Several people nearby asked with confusion.

"Hehe! Good stuff." Hou Xiaoge smiled mysteriously.

"Wow wow wow!"

"It's actually a popsicle, and it's a cream popsicle." My younger brother Shuanniu and my little cousin Heiniu were instantly excited.

"The weather is hot, so I made some popsicles. Let's eat them quickly to cool down." Hou Xiaoge said as he took out the small quilt.

There are twenty-one popsicles in total, and there are four families in total, just enough for each person to get one.

"This popsicle is really sweet, and tastes like milk." Second Aunt peeled off the wrapping paper and licked the popsicle with enjoyment.

"Great!" Lanlan, my five-year-old cousin from my aunt's family, was holding a popsicle with her eyes wide open from smiling.

The soda was in glass bottles, but only seventeen of them were for non-drinkers, and there was also a bottle of white wine.

After eating the popsicles, everyone shared a bottle of soda, and for a while, there was constant laughter and joy in the place.

"Heiwa, how did you grow so tall? You're only twelve years old, but you're already as tall as my father.

Now we are standing together, you are a head taller than me, people who don't know would think you are my brother!" The second cousin Er Huan drank soda, sitting far away from Hou Xiaoge in a somewhat autistic manner.

"I followed my master, practiced martial arts, took medicinal baths, and ate large amounts of beef and mutton every day." Hou Xiaoge explained with a smile.

"Forehead!"

Not to mention practicing martial arts or taking medicinal baths, he couldn't even eat large amounts of beef and mutton every day. Although he bought braised meat at home, he could only eat some offal at most.

"Heiwa, how's your martial arts training going? Let me see." The eldest cousin said with a smile while drinking.

"Haha! I've just achieved something recently, so let me show it to you." Hou Xiaoge did not refuse and nodded with a smile.

I stood up and looked around, and finally saw a pebble the size of two palms in the middle of the road.

"Heiwa, what are you doing with the stone? Are you going to hit it with your head?" Erhuan looked curious.

"Shut up!"

"Hmph! Ha!" Hou Xiaoge deliberately tried to make his face red, then slapped the pebble into five pieces.

"Hold the grass!"

"Damn! A martial arts master."

"Oh my god, this is unbelievable!"

……

Everyone watched as Hou Xiaoge used all his strength to break a pebble bigger than a human head into five pieces with one slap. They all screamed in surprise and couldn't help but touch their own heads.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Erhuan, Heidan and Shuanniu were almost falling to their knees, and they all knelt on one knee and asked Hou Xiaoge to be their disciple.

"You guys are just idiots, hurry up and get up! What a shame!" When the two brothers Hou Yangmin saw this, they hurried over and grabbed those idiots.

After cleaning up, the little guys sat in a row with their heads down, sometimes looking at the stones, sometimes looking at their old father with hatred, and sometimes looking at their own hands.

"We are all brothers, so there is no need to become masters. However, this martial art is not that easy to practice. I will teach you how to stand still when I go back.

When you can stand for an hour, I will teach you the rest." Hou Xiaoge came to the group and said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Great!"

"Brother, I listen to you."

When the three heard Hou Xiaoge's martial arts training, they all smiled happily and looked at their uncles provocatively from time to time. They almost said that they would rebel against Tiangang after they learned it.

After a break of more than an hour at noon, everyone started another busy day. Each family had at least six or seven acres of land, and time was still quite tight in an era without machines.

Hou Xiaoge's family has a total of six acres of land, and less than three acres have been harvested so far, so Hou Xiaoge did not go to pull the wheat in the afternoon, but chose to harvest the wheat directly.

In his previous life, Hou Xiaoge was also a country kid. Although he was not very familiar with the job of harvesting wheat, he could do it.

In this life, I was nimble and deft, and I just tried the sickle a dozen times out of curiosity, and then I enjoyed the smoothness.

Grab the wheat with your left hand and gently pull the sickle with your right hand, and you will have a large bundle of wheat in less than a minute.

After harvesting a large field of wheat, Hou Xiaoge turned around and started to bundle the wheat.

Take out two handfuls of wheat straw with wheat ears and twist them into straps. Then put a large bundle of wheat directly on them and tie them up with the straps. A complete bundle of wheat is ready.

Don't worry about the rest. My uncle and his men will carry the wheat bundles out on a shoulder pole in a while.

"Heiwa, I've never seen you harvesting wheat. I didn't expect you to be so fast and harvest it so cleanly." The uncle-in-law praised with a smile as he came in to pick the wheat.

“Well! I see your elders doing it often, so I’ve learned how to do it.” Hou Xiaoge said modestly with a smile.

"Well! Don't be in a hurry, be careful with your hands." said my uncle-in-law with a smile.
