Chapter 231: Autumn Harvest Busy
The villagers got up early and worked late to harvest the soybeans and corn as fast as they could.
The corn stalks in the cornfield are not in a hurry, and it is not too late to cut them when the autumn harvest is over.
Without corn on the cob, the corn stalk is useless, and it will be used as firewood in the future.
Many children and adults pick the juicy ones and cut them down to eat as sugar cane. Some corn stalks are also very sweet, and many children like to eat them.
Usually children can't eat sugar, and this corn stalk can also be sweet. This is also a kind of snack that many children are thinking about, and it is only available at this time.
The corn cobs are piled up on the threshing floor, and the skin should be peeled off as soon as possible, otherwise the corn will be damp and moldy or sprout. Villagers and half-grown children who could not do heavy physical work were assigned to peel the corn and dry it.
The autumn sun is powerful, and the soybeans dry out quickly. Liang Shouzheng was reluctant to use a tractor to roll beans, which was too oil-intensive, so he asked two people to use old cows or mules to put stones on them to roll and roll beans.
Some of them rolled beans and peeled corn, and the rest went to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes.
This year, Laohewan Village also planted some peanuts, which were also seeds provided by Du Yuhan, and they also grew very well.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes dug up were so large and plentiful that the villagers were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth. Liang Shouzheng is even happier that the villagers of Laohewan Village will not go hungry this year.
After the potatoes and sweet potatoes were carefully harvested by the adults, there would definitely be some omissions in the field, so Liang Shouzheng asked the children to dig them again, and whoever dug them would belong to whomever they did.
This is also to mobilize the enthusiasm of the children and minimize waste, otherwise the potatoes and sweet potatoes that fall in the ground will be ruined after a winter.
Children like to go to the potato and sweet potato fields to pick up leaks, and the surprise of finding potatoes and sweet potatoes that adults have missed brings a lot of joy to children.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes they dig up can be eaten at home, which can save food at home. The children were all in high spirits and would not go home until dark.
The field was turned over and over again by the children, and basically nothing was missed.
Every day after work, adults go to their children and carry home the potatoes and sweet potatoes they have harvested. Everyone was tired every day, but they were all happy. This autumn harvest season is full of laughter and laughter.
During the autumn harvest, the three Du Haifeng brothers were also dispatched, and they could pick up a basket of potatoes or sweet potatoes every day. Du Lianqiao and his wife were happy enough.
There are also soybeans planted in the field, and some beans and beans will also fall. These can also be picked up by the children. If you don't pick it up early, it will sprout or be eaten by other small animals such as voles.
Adults don't have time, and the children in the house will all go out to pick up the leaks. Even if you pick up an extra handful of soybeans, you can eat more.
Therefore, the fields were cleaned by adults and children.
He Yuhan didn't join in the fun, she didn't need the food, and she didn't want to compete with the villagers for food.
It's time to harvest the potatoes and sweet potatoes she planted in the mountains. Han Yixian had already told her not to collect it, he and Liu Gang would come to collect it.
This autumn harvest, Liang Shouzheng's youngest son Liang Jiajun and daughter Liang Jingyun both went home.
Liang Shouzheng's youngest son, Liang Jiajun, was not admitted to university this year, nor did he repeat his studies. Liang Shouzheng entrusted He Chenglin to find a job for his youngest son in City C, and he is also a worker.
He works in City C and is not far from home, and occasionally comes home. This autumn harvest he went home to see how the harvest was going.
Liang Jingyun is already in high school, and the school has also taken the autumn harvest holiday, and they all came back to help with the autumn harvest.
When they saw the grain harvested, they were surprised.
Liang Jiajun asked his father: "Dad, why is this year's grain growing so well? Isn't it a drought that has to reduce grain production? I think this is better than last year?"
Liang Shouzheng said: "What do you know, this year, our village has Yuhan to help, built a waterwheel to irrigate the fields in advance, and has high-yield grain seeds, and chemical fertilizers.
This year, our village can have a good year. I've landed in my heart now.
This year, our village got a tractor by the light of Yuhan, but it helped us a lot. This machine is different, with it, the autumn harvest is much faster.
Look at Yuhan, he didn't go to college, and people can even repair tractors. Our tractor was repaired by Yuhan when it broke. She also designed several practical agricultural tools that are matched with tractors, which really saves us a lot of effort. ”
Leung said: "Of course, machinery is much more efficient than manpower. Yuhan is really at stake. I'll have to ask her for advice in the future. ”
Liang Shouzheng said: "You are also a high school graduate, so you should learn more from Yuhan. In the first two days, the director of the tractor factory brought people to visit Yuhan. This shows that people attach great importance to Yuhan. I also want Yuhan to work in a tractor factory. But it scared the hell out of me. Fortunately, Yuhan refused to go, otherwise the clinic that just existed in our village would have to be closed. ”
After Liang Jingyun came back, she often went to look for He Yuhan, and she also became a frequent visitor to He Yuhan's house.
She especially likes the two little ones, and is adored by their cute appearance.
Liang Jingyun admires Sister Yuhan even more, she is not much older than her but knows so many things, and she is already a qualified country doctor.
Now these ten miles and eight towns all know that Dr. Xiao He of Laohewan Village has good medical skills, as long as it is not a serious illness, he will cure the disease. Moreover, the villagers spend very little money on medical treatment, and they can afford it.
The villagers in the surrounding villages like Sister Yuhan very much.
Liang Jingyun also hopes that she can be a useful person in the future and be recognized and liked by everyone.
Liang Jingyun came back and took over the errand of cooking at home, although she didn't know how to do anything complicated, but simple meals were still okay.
Du Lianqiao and his wife also get up early every day, and the three Du Haifeng brothers also went to the ground to pick up the leaks. He Yuhan took over the cooking and asked his adoptive parents to come to the house for dinner every day.
At first, Du Lianqiao and his wife disagreed, and they didn't want to trouble He Yuhan.
It was Yu Huiru who spoke, and Du Lianqiao and his wife agreed to come to He Yuhan's house for dinner.
When the autumn harvest in Laohewan Village was almost over, Han Yixian came with Liu Gang, and even He Zhenhua, He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng came, and they made an appointment to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes planted on the mountain for He Yuhan.
He Zhenhua and the others had never seen what He Yuhan planted in the mountains, but Han Yixian and Liu Gang knew about the situation, so they all took advantage of the holiday to come.
He Yuhan seemed to be relieved by so many people. Seriously, she didn't want to plant so many things in the mountains, but she accidentally planted too much. If it weren't for the fear of suspicion from others, she would have been able to take home the things planted on the mountain by using the space herself.
