Old man Qin said, "By the way, Xiao Song, I still want someone to send a letter to call you over in two days!"

Father Song asked, "What's the matter?" Uncle Qin. ”

Old Man Qin replied, "All the deer blood wine we brewed last time was sold. ”

Father Song asked in surprise, "Really, Uncle Qin? That's really good." ”

Old Man Qin nodded and said, "Yes, it was sold out a few days ago, and this deer blood wine still needs to be fresh before it can be used."

You wait, I'll go and get you the money. With that, Old Man Qin entered the back room.

After a while, Old Man Qin came out of the back room.

"Here, this is distributed to your village, a total of 262 yuan, a little bit. Old man Qin said after handing the money to Father Song.

Father Song took the money and counted it, then said, "It's just right! If Uncle Qin has nothing to do, I'm going to rush back, and it's the autumn harvest now." The family is too busy, and I just took the time to come. ”

Old man Qin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go back, when the autumn harvest is over, don't forget to come and pull your Tai Sui wine!"

Father Song said: "Okay, Uncle Qin, then I'll leave first, if there is anything, find someone to bring me a letter!"

After seeing Old Man Qin respond to him, Father Song hurriedly went out of the gate and rode his bicycle to his home.

It was only about eight o'clock in the morning when he returned to Guangming Village, and when Song's father went to Chen's house to return the bicycle, he was just in time for Chen Changshan to get up early to work in the field, and came back for breakfast at this time.

Father Song said: "Changshan, I really didn't go to the commune in vain this morning!

Chen Changshan asked: "What's the good thing? I have found the money? I see that you are beautiful like this!"

Father Song smiled and said, "Hehe, it's related to money, but it's not that we have picked up the money, it's that we bought all the deer blood wine with Uncle Qin last time." ”

After hearing this, Chen Changshan also said happily: "Really, that's really good, we are short of money now!"

Father Song also said happily: "Yes, this money came at the right time, but it's not much, only more than 200 yuan! Saying that, Father Song handed the money to Chen Changshan.

Chen Changshan took the money and counted it and said, "262, right?"

Father Song said, "Yes, that's it. ”

Chen Changshan said again: "That's good, it's not less sold!"

Father Song asked: "It has been two or three days since the autumn harvest in Changshan, how much grain has been recovered from each family's fields? Will it be harvested in another seven or eight days?"

Chen Changshan returned: "There is a reward hanging first, and then I eat pork to make up for it, can I not be happy?"

But if you can't harvest it in seven or eight days, it will take ten days, after all, the rice still has to be threshed and dried!"

Song's father said: "That's not bad, if the speed is fast, there will be more than two months after the autumn harvest and when the big freeze can't work, and the reservoir should be able to be built by one-third."

But the cement hasn't been pulled back yet, so what can I do?"

Chen Changshan thought for a while and asked, "By the way, how is Zhiyuan's earthworm raised?"

Father Song returned: "After the autumn harvest, you can harvest the first crop, I think you should inform the brigade headquarters in the village to collect the hens that are laying eggs after the autumn harvest." ”

Chen Changshan said: "Yes, this matter really has to be said earlier. Don't kill and eat all the chickens for the sake of the autumn harvest to supplement nutrition, then I won't have time to cry. ”

Song's father said: "My daughter-in-law said, this hen is also a doorway, to collect about two years of hens, such hens lay more eggs, the hens that were born in the year and the old hens who are more than the years of laying eggs are less. ”

Chen Changshan said: "Oh, we really have no experience in this matter, and we will hand it over to your daughter-in-law when the time comes." ”

Song's father said: "It's not convenient for my daughter-in-law to have a big belly, so why don't you let your sister-in-law join her?"

Chen Changshan said: "There is no problem with this, I will tell your sister-in-law when the time comes." ”

Father Song said: "Okay, Changshan, you can eat, I will also go home to clean up, ready to go to the field to cut rice." ”

Chen Changshan said: "Okay, by the way, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, you can deal with it here, right?"

Father Song said: "I ate a bite at home in the morning, and now I am not hungry for a while and wait for noon to eat again, okay, I won't talk to you, I'm leaving." ”

After Song's father and Chen Changshan said goodbye, they got up and went home.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During the week, most of the villagers' grain in Guangming Village was taken back to the granary. Only the rice that needs to be dried remains.

In this way, there is a need for people to watch the show, and during the day, the children of each family are watching, and at night, the men of each family take over.

Chen Changshan and Song's father made an appointment for the two families' rice to be dried in a threshing floor.

So most of the day, Chen Guoliang and Song Xiaoling led their two children to spend time on the threshing floor.

And it is very coincidental that this year, Wang Aiguo's rice is also dried in this threshing floor, next to the rice of Chen Guoliang and Song Xiaoling's family.

And this Wang Aiguo has a specialty, that is, he is particularly good at slingshots.

Now there are many kinds of birds on the threshing floor, and Wang Aiguo's slingshot has played a big role.

Chen Guoliang and Wang Aiguo discussed, and Chen Guodong led a few small ones who were responsible for picking up stones and birds that were knocked down.

Chen Guoliang and Wang Aiguo's eldest children were responsible for playing slingshots, and Song Xiaoling and Wang Aiguo's younger siblings were responsible for watching the scene.

In this way, at the end of the day, a group of children can catch seventy or eighty birds of various kinds, of course, most of them are sparrows.

In the evening, when the adults came to take over the watch, the merchant children took their respective sparrows and went home to fry them in oil, not to mention how beautiful it was.

Of course, this is a good condition and accustomed to children of the family to eat like this, like the poor conditions of the people are generally directly divided and then grilled and eaten.

The rice was dried for two days in a row, and it was almost dry. Just wait for the adults in the family to finish the work in the field, and the warehouse will be finished.

After lunch, Song Xiaoling came to the threshing floor, habitually looked up at the sky, and found that Xiaoqingshan's side seemed to be coming over as if dark clouds were coming.

Seeing this, Song Xiaoling poked Chen Guoliang beside her with her hand and said, "Brother Guoliang, you see that Xiaoqingshan is a little cloudy, let's quickly find someone to collect the rice for the sake of insurance, right?"

Chen Guoliang thought about it and agreed: "Okay, this rice has been dried." I'm waiting for a good tonight. If it rains at this time, it will be really crying and there is no place to find it. ”

After the two discussed, they talked to several families nearby.

And ask them to inform the other children in the village, and ask them to inform their own adults who are working in the fields. , and then the two went to find the adults of their own family and prepared to harvest the rice and put it into the warehouse.

There are those who believe, and naturally there are those who do not believe, and those who believe are like the Chen family and the Song family who hurriedly put away the rice.

The unbelievers said that they were really foolish, and that the sun was still so big in the sky, how could it rain?

However, there are not many paddy fields in Guangming Village, and only 1/3 of the entire village can grow rice.

Therefore, there are not many paddy fields distributed to each family, and the time to harvest rice and put it into the warehouse is also very fast, although it is fast, but the rain comes faster.

The first few families (including the Chen and Song families) will put all the rice in the barn. A large cloud followed.

Seeing this scene, the other villagers (who did not harvest the rice) regretted it, and did not listen to the persuasion just now, and hurried to the threshing floor to harvest the rice.

And the people who finished harvesting first did not leave, but helped those who did not finish harvesting the rice to harvest together.

In this way, because of a rain, the entire Bright Brigade became scrambling.

Although there were people who helped, there were still many people who did not harvest all the rice.
