Chapter 54: Harvest Time
People who live in the city often wait until the season has come a few days before noticing that the new season has arrived.
The thick clothes are slowly unbearable, the trees on the side of the street are green, the flowers in the flower beds are blooming, oh, spring has arrived, and then I haven't been able to find time to step on the spring, the girls on the street are brushing their thighs, and summer has arrived .......
For people in rural areas, this is not a problem at all.
Because farming must depend on the time of day, whatever the season, do what is in season, if you miss it, then there will be no harvest for a year.
So, they especially love autumn.
Their autumn is different from the autumn that the children in the city write in their essays, "Autumn has arrived, it is the harvest season, the weather is cooler, the geese begin to fly south, and they will line up in a zigzag in the sky, and they will line up in a zigzag ......".
It's not the same as autumn, when is the best time to see the autumn leaves?", or "The price of hairy crabs won't go up again, right?" and "How many mooncakes are you going to give away this year?"
Their autumn is really a harvest season, when the rice in the fields is ripe and must be retrieved before the rain, the chestnuts on the trees are ripe and must be beaten down before they fall to the ground, soybeans, sesame seeds, sweet potatoes, ...... All the crops in the field shall be taken back to their homes in the same way in the fall.
The warehouses and beams are slowly full, and their hearts are also steady, at least the food and clothing of the family next year are guaranteed.
These harvests are really not measured by money, a few young people who helped the family harvest the grain in the field in the morning were muttering, "I have worked hard for so long, and it looks like so many things, but in fact, it is not worth my monthly salary, and my monthly salary can buy back a large warehouse of grain, which is better than our grain,"
As soon as the words fell, a liberation shoe hit him, and he carried a sickle and wiped his sweat with a towel hanging around his neck, "If we don't farm, where can you buy food with the money?"
"After a few months of class, do you look down on you? If it weren't for these things, would you have grown up so big?"
"Did you say it was the third uncle?" he asked Feng Zhenchang, who happened to be passing by.
"Yes, not everything, you can buy it with money, such a guy, you should fight,"
Wasn't this time of year before 92 years also his greatest hope? Although he has long since stopped living on this, they still planted a field for the family's annual rations.
Not much, it is estimated that there are only more than ten loads of grass (freshly harvested grain), and I have made an appointment with a few nephews to help them take it back in the afternoon.
In fact, according to the practice of the past few years, there will definitely be a lot of people to help, last year, it was only half an hour of work, all the rice in the field was cut, bundled into bundles, and after more than ten minutes, it was neatly stacked on the drying field, waiting for threshing.
"When will your family be received, speak in advance,"
"Don't bother, my family is such a small piece of land, and a few nephews said that we don't need to do it,"
Although he said this, as soon as the field at home opened in the afternoon, a lot of people immediately gathered, and it was lively and noisy, a bit like the previous big collective, many of them put down the millet in their fields to help.
"How is this good? Let's get busy with your own first, I have enough manpower,"
"It's okay Third Master, I looked at the forecast, the weather has been good for the past two days, and it's okay to stay in the field for a long time,"
Everyone was busy, Mei Qiuping and the master of the canteen in the factory carried down a table and a big steel bucket from the small four wheels in the factory, "Eat a bowl of dumplings, I made it all afternoon,"
She had already thought of this scene, after she was busy with his house, everyone had to continue to cut their own house, and they didn't have time to sit down and eat well, so it was good to send them something to pad their stomachs.
"That's good," a lot of people smiled and came over to get the bowl and scoop it themselves.
The millet that had just grown in the field was now turned into small bundles and lay in the field, and then they were bundled into bundles and loaded onto the small four wheels.
Mei Qiuping also stuffed a pack of cigarettes by herself, "It's not a good cigarette, whether you smoke it or not, you can pretend it,"
Last year, she sent steamed buns.
Rice planting, grain cutting, is a big deal in the countryside, it stands to reason, help the family to plant rice and cut the grain, the food has to refer to the level of craftsmen, to be more grand, now everyone is more tight, can only mean this.
Of course, this will not be good to use money to pass away, or to send some finished products that you have spent money to buy, you are scolding!
Now that everyone is having a better life, what you do by yourself, even if it is a bowl of noodles, represents your sincerity and heart.
Waiting for the twelve loads of grass to be piled up in a small pile on the square that has now become a threshing floor, and covered with a layer of plastic paper, Feng Zhenchang jumped into the car with a sickle, "You eat first, I'll go and help them,"
"Be careful with your waist," Mei Qiuping shouted from behind.
In the countryside, everyone helps to collect their own grain, and then you lie comfortably at home and watch TV?
Feng Zhenchang was so busy that he didn't go home until ten o'clock in the evening, he was very tired, but he was in good spirits, "Quickly boil water, I'll wash it,"
"Don't eat first?"
"It's noodles again, it's steamed buns again, I've eaten a few restaurants, I'm full early, I haven't lit a lamp to grab rice like this for many years,"
"Look at you," Mei Qiuping took his coat, it was wet, "You are old, you can't compare to those strong laborers, or we won't farm in the next year, so you have to work so hard,"
"How can I not plant? Besides, what's the hard work? Don't see that I sweat a lot, it's because it's too hot, I just rush to do heavy work, and they won't let me,"
Although he was not hungry, when he came out of the shower, Mei Qiuping had already set up a few side dishes, and took the initiative to take out two bottles of beer that he said were German, Feng Zhenchang drank it beautifully, "I really feel like a big group,"
"What's good about the big collective?" Mei Qiuping said, "However, this day is getting better, and this atmosphere is also getting better, which is really good,"
"Yes, we can still maintain such a rural style here, it's really rare, in some places in the village, now it's no different from the city, there is something next door to the left and right, and he also ignores it, you find his head, he is not happy,"
Feng Zhenchang sighed first, and then boasted, "Hehe, speaking of which, this is mainly our credit, we are enthusiastic, and everyone is also enthusiastic,"
"Come on, after drinking a little wine, you can't control your mouth, have you forgotten something?" Mei Qiuping said.
"Forgot what?" Feng Zhenchang was puzzled.
"At this time, shouldn't I send some things to Jingping's family?"
"Don't you say that I really forgot, I have to send it, I should send it, Jingping's child has helped us give birth to a granddaughter, you sort it out, I will send it to my in-laws to the town early tomorrow morning,"
"You said that Yiping and the two of them are true, as soon as they arrive in the United States, they will not come back, and their business should be done,"
"The last few times we met, I don't know if I've thought too much, I think Lao Huang seems to have some opinions, you say, do they complain that we didn't grasp this matter?"
"What's so difficult about this, won't it be clear if you ask him directly tomorrow? You eat it yourself, I'll have to rummage through it and see what to bring to them tomorrow,"
…………
In the provincial capital, after Liu Jizhong's repeated efforts, mainly after giving gifts and entertaining guests again and again, today, he finally approved a loan of 100 million yuan from ICBC!
Walking out of the bank door with the group's finance, he felt that the whole world was a little more beautiful.
At home, with the assistance of her aunt, Shen Xue had already prepared a table of meals, and when she heard the sound of the car, she greeted the door with a smile and took the briefcase in his hand, "Congratulations, Boss Liu,"
"Rejoice and rejoice," Liu Jizhong also smiled and hugged his wife who was getting more and more charming, "Well, it's so fragrant, it's still the best dish you make,"
These days, in order to take out loans, I frequently accompany the heads of those departments of the bank, go in and out of various buildings, halls, and halls, drink and vomit many times, and eat those banquets in the hotel, and they are about to vomit.
"Husband, a toast to the smooth start of our new project,"
"This cup has to be drunk, and it is also for the hard work of Xuexue for a while," Liu Jizhong drank it all with a smile and stretched out the cup, "Come again?"
"Why is this cup?"
"Why? Of course, for the sake of what you promised,"
"What's the matter?"
"Hehe," Liu Jizhong stretched out a finger, "According to the current trend, after the successful completion of this project, we can earn this amount?"
"100 million?"
"Huh?" Liu Jizhong shook his head, "Guess again,"
"Ten, billion?" Shen Xue was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
"Hehe, yes," Liu Jizhong laughed, "Look, are we one step closer?"
"Wow, that's great," Shen Xue jumped into Liu Jizhong's arms briskly like a bird throwing into the forest.
…………
"Husband, hurry up," in the bedroom, the lights were turned pink, and Shen Xue was screaming.
"Okay," Liu Jizhong wiped his hair with a bath towel, turned off the desk lamp in the study, and refreshed it before turning off the computer, and then, he felt that he really owed too much, and the news on the Internet made his good mood disappear in an instant. (To be continued.) )
