Chapter 232: Harvesting Winter Wheat

Previous Chapter

After speaking, Chen Changshan paused and looked at the audience.

Then he spoke: "The people I want to talk about next are also the people who have made great efforts in the construction of our Xiaoqingshan Reservoir.

Next, please Zhang Liangtian, Ma Yuzhu, Hu Xiufen.

These three people and their families have paid absolute labor in the process of building the Xiaoqingshan Reservoir.

In this way, they will not only pay dividends from the income of Xiaoqingshan Reservoir in the future.

I would also like to award the honorary title of "Industrious Family" to these three families in the name of the Brigade Department ~ "Industrious Family".

Next, these three members are invited to come to the stage to receive the material rewards given by the brigade department, one towel per person, and one enamel jar. ”

After awarding the awards to the three of them, Chen Changshan talked about the work requirements of the entire brigade next.

The meeting then dissolved.

Early the next morning, that is, the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Song's mother gave Song Xiaoling and their children according to custom, and dyed their fingernails and toenails with the grass (homophone).

I used the five-color thread prepared in advance to bring beautiful five-color thread to the limbs and necks of several children.

Song Xiaojun's only sachet, why is it the only one?

Because Song Xiaoling felt that it was a bit naΓ―ve to bring a sachet, and the three little ones were relatively young, if they wore a sachet, they would eat the contents of the sachet.

So in the end, it was cheaper, Song Xiaojun, a stinky boy.

Father Song went up the mountain early in the morning to pick wormwood and came back and hung it on the beams of the house.

After the family had breakfast, they went to work and cleaned up, and they were all busy anyway.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Song's mother and their chicken farm became the most lively place in the whole village.

Because of the area of Guangming Village, tea eggs need to be boiled on this day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

But tea is not something that everyone has, only those with good conditions.

As for those who are not in good condition, they use boiled eggs and salted eggs instead of tea eggs.

Because now that Guangming Village's foreign debts have been paid off, Chen Changshan is in a good mood and makes a big move.

Buy eggs at a 20% discount, and people who are reluctant to eat on weekdays also go to the chicken farm to buy two or three eggs to go home to meet the situation.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Guangming Village fell into busyness again.

Because the winter wheat planted last year is already in the harvest season.

Among them, the first production team has a maximum of 80 acres of land.

Father Song looked at these yellow and clear ears of wheat in front of him, and the corners of his eyes unconsciously bent down with joy.

In fact, the Northeast is not suitable for planting winter wheat, but the geographical location of Guangming Village is relatively special.

It is a small village in the northeast near Kannai, so it is barely possible to grow winter wheat.

However, the yield is slightly lower than that of winter wheat in the south.

Even so, for Tohoku, which can only grow one crop, this is considered a high yield.

Harvesting 80 acres of wheat fields is really not an easy task, but Song's father spoke, and after harvesting the winter wheat, he distributed all the wheat to the hands of the members.

Let them also have a meal of white noodles that is enough.

In this way, Song's father was hanging in front of him because he was holding a carrot.

The enthusiasm of the members for harvesting winter wheat has never been higher.

In order to earn more work, I can share a few catties of wheat when the time comes.

The members of the club started to work one by one, and they were racing faster.

In this way, 80 acres of winter wheat were harvested in less than two days.

The harvest is complete, but the threshing of the ears of wheat, which resembles a mountain, becomes a big problem.

However, because strong labor requires planting seedlings, the threshing of winter wheat is handed over to the women and the elderly in the production team ~ manual threshing.

Seeing this, Song Xiaoling thought about the threshing machine used in the 70s in her previous life.

I took the time to draw a simple model on paper.

Therefore, after Song's father arrived home from work that night, Song Xiaoling handed over this very precious (very simple) design drawing to Song's father.

"Dad, I dreamed of my grandfather again last night, and he asked me to give you this picture, saying that it was a threshing machine. ”

Hearing this, Father Song took the drawings handed to him by Song Xiaoling with some doubts~ A piece of paper that Song Xiaoling tore off in her homework book.

Study carefully, the structure and shape of the machine above.

After studying for a long night, Song's father figured out how this threshing machine worked.

So, the next day, he gathered a few skilled carpenters in the first production team.

There were five people in total, and it wasn't until about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night that the threshing machine was completed.

The next day, Song's father asked people to carry the threshing machine to the full-time threshing field of the first production team.

The old people who were working on the barn floor suddenly lit up when they saw the machine that Song's father was carrying.

"Isn't this the same machine that Zhang Baochang's family used to threh before?"

"yes, yes. If you had this thing, it would be threshing soon. ”

Father Song heard the discussion in the crowd and felt that this machine should be able to be used.

Secretly cheered himself up, and then Song's father said: "This is the threshing machine blueprint sent by a friend of mine.

The five of us spent a day and a night making a real thing, and here is it for everyone to try and see if it can be used. ”

When everyone heard this, the two old men who had just discussed came out and said, "Zhiyuan, let's give this threshing machine a try, right?"

Seeing this, Father Song said happily: "Uncle Shoutian, you two can use it, it's really good!"

Hearing this, Uncle Shoutian returned: "When we used to work as long-term workers in Zhang Baochang's house, they had one such threshing machine in their house. ”

Father Song was even happier when he heard this, "Then it's troublesome for the two of you!"

Uncle Shoutian and the others were not ambiguous, and they came up to study this machine first.

The first few ears of wheat did not break away from success.

Seeing this, the crowd began to talk again.

"Looks like this thing can't be done?"

"Who's to say it's not?"

"I've seen this thresher, it's very easy to use, I don't know why, it's not good. ”

"It's still a little bit of a mistake!"

Father Song saw it and said with some disappointment: "Hey, it seems that I think it's too simple." ”

After speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave with some sadness.

But at this moment, a fierce discussion suddenly broke out in the crowd.

"Look, that thresher is so easy to use!"

"yes, yes, it's so fast!"

Father Song, who was already about to turn around and leave, turned around in surprise when he heard this.

So he saw that the threshing machine seemed to be glowing with golden light, and as long as the ears of wheat that were added into it, after stepping on it with his feet, he quickly took off the wheat grains one by one.

Then, the threshed ears of wheat have only a few grains left on them.

Seeing this, Father Song knew that this thresher should have been developed.

Then he said happily: "It seems that this threshing machine is easy to use." ”

After that, Father Song said to the four carpenters: "It seems that we will be busy next." ”

Because of the experience of the first station, Father Song and the others were much faster when they made the second station.

After two days of continuous work, the six threshers were finished and put into work.

With the addition of the threshing machine, the threshing of wheat from 80 acres is not too simple.

During the busy time of Father Song's family, all the rice in the Guangming Village Brigade had been planted.

So the idle members came to the first production team to watch the excitement in the grain field.

When they saw the speed of the threshing machine, they all showed envious eyes.

So, Chen Changshan just took a breath, and the second, third, and fourth, the production captain of the production team came to the door.

The purpose of the three of them was simple and rude, that is, they wanted to borrow the threshing machine of the first production team.

Chen Changshan was completely stunned after hearing this, he didn't leave the team at all during this time, why hasn't he heard of this threshing machine!

So he asked suspiciously, "Thresher?"

Wang Dahu couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in saying: "Yes, we want to borrow a threshing machine." ”
