Chapter 495: Wheat Harvest
Guilian gave birth to a child, such a big thing, Lan Ying didn't leave the house, everyone's original guess came true, she was pregnant.
Since she was stunned by her sister-in-law on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Lan Ying has been sick and does not go out easily, and she has not seen outsiders recently, and everyone guesses that she is pregnant.
This time, she didn't come out for such a big incident in the second master's family, so she confirmed everyone's guesses. However, thinking of her unruly mother's family, everyone knew in their hearts, but no one mentioned it.
Now that the family planning policy has just begun to be implemented, the rural areas have basically turned a blind eye to the birth of children in two-woman households, and no one has taken care of it.
The idea of raising children to prevent old age and having more children and more blessings is deeply rooted in the rural areas, and there is some resistance to family planning. People think that it is natural for women to have children, and the state still controls women to have children.
is like "Big One", gave birth to five daughters in a row, and then gave birth to 4 sons, everyone thinks that she has a good life, and no one thinks she shouldn't have it.
People privately discussed: The second master's family is going to have three joys, Gui Jin and Gui Lian are all children, and Lan Ying will also give birth to a child.
The wheat harvest of '82 is coming soon, and this year's wheat harvest should be regarded as the longest wheat harvest in recent years.
The main reason is that the area of wheat is large, and after the land is divided into households, everyone has changed the habit of harvesting three crops in the past two years, and basically planted all the cultivated land with wheat, and harvested twice a year.
Coupled with the fine management and sufficient fertilizer, the wheat harvest was bumper, and the lowest yield per mu also reached 400 catties.
The large area and high yield, not to mention the long harvest time, the pressure of summer planting is also great, the solar term does not wait for anyone, and the harvest will be more if you plant one day early.
The people took back the wheat and sowed the seeds before they could fight the field. There are also people who collect a piece of land and plant a piece of land, which is afraid of delaying the agricultural time.
When I was in the production team, every three summers, rushing to plant and harvest was a slogan, and sometimes I even stayed up all night, but people's thoughts were not tightened, and Sanxia was still busy grinding foreign workers.
Now, the land is contracted to the households, and people's enthusiasm has been mobilized, so that people can really feel why the "grabbing" of the "three summers" is busy.
Everyone gets up and sleeps in the middle of the night every day, rushing to do it day and night, no one needs to urge them at all, and they sweat but their faces are full of comfortable smiles.
One of the most common words spoken during this year's wheat harvest is probably this: This year's wheat is really good, in previous years, a sickle was cut and a slip, this year a sickle made a nest, and a good hand only cut half an acre of wheat a day.
Fortunately, thanks to God's posture, it rained before the wheat harvest, and the wheat harvest was sunny for half a month, and the harvest was not delayed.
In this year's wheat harvest, the great role of large livestock and agricultural tools has been revealed. The ground row cart is full, put on the livestock, pull it away, and the people follow behind, and can rest a little.
There were no livestock, and the two of them were tired and sweaty.
It is even more difficult for those who do not have land to row cars, and they have to take advantage of other people's free time to borrow other people's land to row cars to pull wheat. This year's wheat harvest is abundant, and if it is pushed by rubber-tyred carts, it will not be possible to harvest an acre of wheat in a day.
Then there is the field, with livestock to pull the stone stone to press the field, one person can lead it, the other people can follow the turnover, if you use people to pull, under the sun, two or three people pull the stone, even the sun plus the circle, dizzy that is called uncomfortable.
It's better to have more labor, less labor and no livestock, and it's really hard to live a hard time, but looking at the piles of golden wheat, everyone has a smile on their faces.
People harvest wheat are sunburned and a layer of skin is removed, but everyone's heart is happy, more than 2 acres of wheat per capita, at least 800 catties, planting a season of wheat is enough to eat for two years.
Last year, people were not bold enough to eat white bread, but this year they can let it go. The urban population has not yet been able to eat all fine grains, and coarse grains account for 30 percent of their rations.
After the wheat harvest, many urban populations, taking advantage of the low price, bought some new wheat and put it away, subsidizing it. The price of Xinmai is stable at 0.30 yuan, but the trading volume is not large, and each family buys more than 200 catties.
The masses have a lot of food at home, and they want to buy some food in exchange for some money. Selling more and buying less, and making it difficult to sell grain, have become a new problem in the rural areas.
After the wheat was harvested, the public grain was basically 30 catties of wheat per person, and since it had just been separated for less than two years, basically everyone had land, and the public grain was still levied according to the population.
The attitude of the people towards the payment of public grain was very positive, and as soon as the commune held a mobilization meeting, everyone took action. The trucks that paid the grain blocked the gates of the grain store.
This year is the second year that each family has handed in the public grain, and the people have gained experience, and all the wheat they brought is selected wheat, and the number of catties is more, leaving enough to remove miscellaneous and wet portions.
Hantun Village is different from other villages, it is still a collective economy, but the payment of public grain is the same as other villages, and it is also 30 catties of wheat per person.
Hantun Village propagated new wheat seeds for the Agricultural University, and two undivided production teams in Shimiao Village bred wheat seeds for the county's seed station.
These two production teams are next to the cultivated land of Hantun, and more than 2,000 acres of wheat seed fields are connected together, and the growth is gratifying, and people come to visit from time to time.
From the beginning of the harvest, the people from the county seed station came to keep an eye on it, fearing that individuals would exchange wheat seeds without permission, and they were also afraid that someone would mix them with wheat seeds.
On the tractors, harvesters, and threshers in Hantun Village, 1,100 acres of wheat were harvested in five days.
The two production teams in Shimiao Village only had tractors, and when they saw that Hantun had finished harvesting, they came to borrow harvesters and threshers. The county seed station promised them that they would buy one set for each next year.
The price of the original seed is 0.70 yuan per catty, which is more than half of the market price. Last year, it was found that some people mixed wheat seeds, resulting in uneven results in this year's wheat and individual plots.
The two teams of Hantun and Shimiao are both collective economies, and this situation is impossible at all, and no one will put individuals in danger for the sake of the collective.
In the end, the original wheat seed has an advantage, and the yield per mu is more than 700 catties, which is more than 200 catties higher than the average yield of the county.
In addition to the wheat seeds and public grain handed over to the seed station, the two villages also distributed more than 400 catties of wheat per person on the edge of the protected land and the pond pit, which is enough for everyone to have a year's ration.
The wheat seed is 0.70 yuan a catty, and in addition to 400 catties of wheat per capita, Hantun Village also shared 1,000 yuan per person.
The two teams in Shimiao Village had less cash than Han Tun, and each of them only shared 500 yuan, mainly because they were going to engage in collective accumulation and set up a collective enterprise.
500 yuan per person also made the people in these two teams very happy. You must know that the wheat yield of the other teams in Shimiao is not low, more than 600 catties per mu.
However, the price of their wheat is low, only 300 yuan for 1,000 catties, and it is not easy to sell, and a market cannot sell 200 catties.
