"Grandma, now that we have ammonia, the wheat yield in our village is almost 400 catties, don't we eat white noodles, we have to eat sorghum beans." Besides, we won't eat more beans with more oil than one more season.

The key is that there will be a flood next year, and now that we know about it, we can't watch everyone go hungry. Even if there is no flood, we still have wheat to eat, which is better than planting sorghum. ”

"But why don't we talk to your uncle and grandfather, and we can't mention the flood next year, this matter can only be known to our mother, but we can't talk about it. If you say it, you are spreading rumors and gossipes to confuse the public, not only will you be criticized and fighting, but you will be sentenced if you don't get it right. ”

Yoyo could see that grandma was scared when she said it. I really scared myself, I didn't use others, and I was convicted and sentenced.

"I know grandma, and I promise not to say it outside. You told your uncle and grandfather that it is better to grow wheat than sorghum, let's grow more wheat and let the children eat more white buns. Besides, isn't there still cotton and sweet potato fields, which are also more than 150 acres, and there are a lot of sorghum planted into them. ”

Grandma finally nodded and promised to tell her uncle and grandfather to plant 500 acres of bean stubble into wheat.

I don't know what grandma said, the next morning, grandma shouted to Yoyo to get up with a happy face, and told Yoyo that his uncle and grandfather agreed, and there will be many kinds of wheat this year.

500 acres of soybean stubble land planted with wheat made the whole village busy. Women labor to load carts, male laborers to carry them into the fields, old people to scatter, and the big dung heaps of each family are finally emptied. There are only a few days left before the autumnal equinox, and we have to hurry up and rake the ground out.

The beans are easy to thresh, and the sun-dried beans are smashed with a wooden stick, and the beans fall out. Pick up the soybean straw, and the layer of yellow and clear soybeans below, people grab a handful.

"This year's soybeans are so good," says nine out of 10 people.

The yield of soybeans per mu is more than 300 catties, but each person is divided into 150 catties of soybeans, which is still divided according to the population. Grandma said that there are not many beans to eat, and the bean cakes left over from the team's oil are used as feed to feed the livestock.

The new beans came down, and the uncle and grandfather pulled all the old beans in the warehouse to get oil, and the horse went to August 15 to distribute the oil to everyone for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the afternoon of August 14, the team divided soybean oil, one pound per person. Each family carried oil cans and waited in line to divide the oil. The second master took the opportunity to announce that he would kill the pig tomorrow.

The atmosphere was high, and everyone was happy, especially the children, who shouted, "Kill the pigs, eat the meat." ”

Everyone is happily discussing, this year's life is comfortable, and that is all good. In August, the roosters fed by each family were sold, and that family bought a dozen yuan. The ewes also began to give birth, and a ewe earned five to ten yuan just by selling the cold lambs.

The sheep of the Youyou family also gave birth, and this time she became the eldest daughter of the second grandmother, Guilian, and exchanged lambs with the Youyou family. The six she-goats she bought also began to give birth, and one of them was good, and she gave birth to four at a time, and all of them were patterned, and the others were not.

He was satisfied with this, and thanked everyone more than once, saying that it was a loss to listen to everyone's persuasion, and the cold lamb alone was sold for more than forty yuan. He has six good lambs left, and he will have twelve ewes in his house by this time next year.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is also a reunion festival. Early in the morning, the second master's house was very lively. The children in the village all came to see the pig slaughter, and Han Daofa's father, Han Yumin, was the pig killer in the village.

The cauldron in the team was in the courtyard, and a large pot of boiling water was boiled in it, and a wooden case was set up next to the pot.

Several young people tied up the pig and pressed it on the big case, Han Yumin's white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the pig's blood flowed into the basin below. Clean, that's a matter of seconds.

When the pig's blood flowed clean, splashed the pig's body with hot water, Han Yulin and Han Dao took a scraper and scraped off the pig's hair, and in less than ten minutes, the black pig turned into a white pig, removed the pig's head, and hung it on the wooden frame erected.

Han Yumin raised the knife in his hand, disemboweled, unloaded the pig's trotters, and lowered his elbow. A few minutes later, Han Daofa used a machete to split the whole pig in half. The pig was killed, and it didn't take half an hour.

Han Daofa used an iron hook to hang meat to break off the hoof clip of the pig's trotters, and the children rushed to ask for it, and the dog asked for the two first, and immediately handed one to Didi, it seems that the relationship between the two is indeed iron enough.

Put some lard in the hoof clip, stuff a cotton thread in it, light the cotton thread, and the fire with a big incense head is bright and dark. The children were holding their hands and playing happily.

Now, the domineering personality of the dog has changed a lot, and he has a good time with the children in the village. Guilian often said with relief: "I have to go back to my parents' house and settle down, otherwise the child will have to let her grandmother do it." ”

The pig of the second master's family is a veritable big fat pig, with three fingers of thick fat, which fully meets the requirements of people now. If this meat were in the market, it would be sold for two or one pounds.

The second master said that according to the price of the first day of June in Youyou's house, one dollar and one catty. Everyone didn't agree, and in the end, my uncle and grandfather made a compromise, one pound and one piece.

Everyone carried it and weighed it, a total of 164 catties of clean meat. August 15 is a big festival, everyone, your family has two catties, and his family wants three catties.

Grandma Yoyo still asked for a twelve-pound buttocks, cut it into two pieces, and the big one was eight catties, and handed it to my uncle and grandfather.

For more than an hour, the streak was sold. Everyone finished the meat, and they didn't leave it for the second master's family at all. However, his family has pigs in the water, and four cubits, enough for the family to eat.

The second master who asked for meat asked Gao Gao to say that he should buy meat for 180 yuan, and the second master sold it for 175 yuan.

A few pig sellers in the village regretted it, everyone was talking about it, the price difference was too big, no wonder people had ideas.

The final conclusion is that the state does not allow individuals to kill pigs and sell meat at will, and they can't kill their own families and keep them to eat, but they still have to sell them to food stations.

Besides, people know that they are satisfied, and sometimes it is less than 120 catties a year in the past, and people who want to sell food stations do not accept it. This year, it has grown to more than 200 catties in more than seven months, and it can be sold for a first-class class.

When Han Yuwei went back, the second master handed him the pig's head. He said that he didn't want anything, and in the end he couldn't push it back, so he said to the second master: "It's not worth cleaning up, your old man will cook it out together, and give me half a pig's face when the time comes." ”

After the person left, the second master gave the eldest son-in-law a back elbow, which had to be more than two catties. "Send it to your mother, why is it your mother. ”

Zhang Liugen didn't take the meat, and his words were choked. "Thank you, uncle, I won't go today. I'm afraid it will be like the first day of June. Let's wait until the end of the year, I'll go early, and it's a year before I want to make trouble. "It seems that he is really heartbroken.

After breakfast, the third uncle and Aunt Katsuo came, bringing two baskets of apples, a large piece of pork, four roast chickens and four catties of moon cakes. Uncle and grandmother asked them to send a basket of apples and two roast chickens to the Youyou family.

Pork and mooncakes were brought back to them, and freshly fried crispy meat was added. didn't leave them to eat at home, and let them go back to spend fifteen with Katsuo's aunt's parents.

Aunt Shengnan was moved to tears, choked up and said, "Mother, when I came, my father instructed me to let us accompany you and the second elder at home for the festival today." ”

Uncle and grandmother said: "You two go back and bring us a good one, saying that I have received the love of my brother and sister-in-law, there are so many people in our family, you should go back to accompany my brother and sister-in-law for the holiday." ”
