The watermelons in the team were completely sold out, due to a heavy rain in the middle, the watermelons in many villages were picked in advance, and the late watermelons in Hantun were sold at a good price, almost all of them were sold for five cents a catty.

The uncle went out to sell watermelons in the morning, and when he came back, he turned to the Zhangji kiln factory and brought a cart of bricks and tiles to Youyou's family. came and went, and brought back all the bricks and tiles. Because my grandmother sold watermelons to the team, the price was still high, and no one in the village gossiped.

This time, the melon garden had a good time with Gui Ping, and saw a small watermelon, no matter how big or small, they picked it off and put it on the ground, because school started, there were few children in the melon field, and they picked a lot of them.

The second master helped them push them home, and the family had to have dozens of pounds. Grandma sat and picked out, picked out the big ones, chopped them up and fed them to the pigs. Yoyo didn't understand, "Grandma, isn't it big?"

"The big skin is hard, and you can't bite it even if it's pickled, and it's just the right fist size. ”

Yoyo stared, the big ones were picked by himself, and he was still proud at the time, so he ran around looking for the big ones.

The melon orchard was cleared, and all the team organizers planted cabbage. Not to mention carrying water and pouring it one by one, you have to cover it with a larger leaf every morning and uncover it in the evening.

It was covered for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, it was cloudy, and it rained again, and people were relieved. "This year's cabbage is alive. ”

The mung beans outside the production embankment are ripe, and clusters of black horns are on top of them, and they have to be picked down one by one. The mung bean seedlings are less than a foot high, and I bend over to pick mung beans, and after a while, I am tired and have a backache.

The children can also do mung bean picking, Gui Ping, Sizhuo, and Jingyun all went, and followed them to play.

With the sun on his head, he went forward in two rows, and when the basket was full, he fell into the sack on the ground.

The children are short, and they are better to pick up, but the adults are not, it is uncomfortable to bend over for a long time, and they will stand for a while after walking two steps, and beat their waists to relax.

Gui Ping saw it and learned to pat it twice, and someone asked her: "Gui Ping, what are you fighting for?"

"Don't you all slap here. "Gui Ping is still strange about that.

"It's a backache, smash it twice, slowly, what kind of strength are you shooting. ”

"I also have back pain, and I smashed it twice. Gui Ping shouted loudly.

A group of women laughed and staggered, "My little aunt, do you have a waist? Where is your waist, show it to us." "Hero Arena

Gui Ping was also at a loss, "You all have waists, why don't I have any?"

"The kid has no waist. Tell her in a loud voice.

Guixiang scolded her, "Hurry up and pick it, take over our eldest sister at the end." Gui Ping looked up and saw her eldest sister holding her stomach, picking it was very difficult, and she didn't speak, so she hurriedly picked it up.

Mung beans ripen quickly, and they have to be picked once every three days, although Yoyo did not pick them, but when he saw that others were tired, he also experienced the hardships of labor.

During the break, Yoyo asked his aunt, why are mung beans the same as soybeans, and when they are all ripe, they are too tired to pick mung beans.

"Silly boy, the mung beans are not cooked together, and if they are cooked, they will be fried, and the mung beans will not be picked up when they fall into the ground, so you can't pick them quickly.

There are also those that are cooked together, which is called bright green, and the yield is more than half less than this kind of horn green. One acre of sheep's horn mung beans can see 200 catties, and only 70 catties can be seen per acre of bright green. ”

For the output of more than 100 catties, people are not afraid of hard work, cheap labor, noble morality.

The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Ghost Festival, and people go to the grave on this day to worship their ancestors and burn paper money, unlike the Qingming Festival, which can be sacrificed within three days.

There is also a saying about this tradition, grandma popularized the common sense of Halloween for half a day.

The tradition here is that there are three ghost festivals a year: Qingming Festival, the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the first day of the 10th lunar month.

After the Qingming Festival, the weather became warmer, and the work in the field began. Therefore, the ancestor worship must be carried out within three days before the Qingming Festival. After the Qingming Festival, the ghost door was closed, and no matter how much paper money was burned, relatives couldn't collect it.

At the beginning of October, the crops in the field were all taken home, and the weather was cold, and people generally did not go to the ground, so God opened the door of ghosts. Therefore, the ancestor worship on the first day of October is to be carried out on the next three days. It's early, the ghost door hasn't opened, and no matter how much paper money is sent, you can't receive it.

From the Qingming Festival to October 1, the ghost door is closed, people are afraid that the deceased relatives lack money to spend, so they burn incense and ask God for mercy, on the 15th day of July to open the ghost door for a day, so that the relatives in the world can send them some paper money. Since there is a lot of work in the fields at this time, it is only open for this day. Childhood sweethearts collide against each other

Youyou laughed dumbly when he heard it, which way was made up by the big fairy brain, so humanized, it completely caters to people's various needs. It does not affect production, but also meets people's psychological needs, so that people can place their thoughts on their relatives in a timely manner.

When Zhiyuan went to school in the morning, he brought a bowl of cooked fresh dates, the skin was still green, and only a small piece of red was on the edge. Yoyo ate one, just sweet.

"Brother, it's not cooked yet, it's not delicious, don't let your aunt pick it, eat it when it's cooked." ”

"It wasn't picked, it fell on its own. Zhiyuan replied casually.

Grandma glanced at it and said casually: "The jujube is red on the fifteenth day of July, and the sun is half-dried on the fifteenth day of the month." It's time for sorghum to dry red rice. On July 15, it's time to pick cotton. ”

Yoyo remembered Grandma's words, and when he went to the ground, he deliberately glanced at the sorghum, and sure enough, the big sorghum ears were already red.

Cotton is even more gratifying, on the long branches, the peach knotted like a garlic braid, look closely, there is indeed a grin, revealing the white cotton wool.

The millet hung down its heavy head, the millet began to turn yellow, and there were already sweet potatoes under the seedlings of spring sweet potatoes. The soybeans are full of pods, and it seems that the harvest season is approaching.

The tenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the solar term of the summer season, and the weather is still very hot, and the high temperature is still above 30 degrees.

"Grandma, didn't you say that it was ten days of heat in the beginning of autumn, and it was hot today, why is it still so hot. Yoyo asked Grandma as he pulled him.

"Autumn tiger, autumn tiger, the weather is not hot, how can the crops provide food, and the harvest is good when the autumn is hot. "Well, for the sake of the harvest of the crops, for the benefit of the people, my sister endured it, and there was no way to endure it.

In this era, not to mention air conditioning, there are no electric fans, even if they are, it is useless, and there is no high-voltage electricity in the village. You can enter the space at night, but it has to be hot during the day.

I haven't been to the county seat for a long time, and on the 21st day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, my grandmother took Youyou to the county seat.

Luo Xincai made a big deal this time, and ran all over the county's acquisition stations, buying 000 catties of scrap copper, 1,000 catties of one-foot long hair, and 200 catties of two-foot, adding up to a total of 15,000 yuan. It seems that his economic strength is strong enough, and it is effortless to hoard more than 10,000 goods.

His wife asked for another 150 bags of headdresses, and the two items were offset, and his grandmother gave Luo Xincai 15,000 yuan.
