The beaten paddy was picked back one by one and spread on the ground to dry the water.

Even if there is a dryer, it is not possible to dry so much rice at one time, and the limitation of the space also leads to the fact that the dried rice will contain more dust and sand.

In the past few days, the weather forecast predicts that there is no sun, but it will not rain, so there is no need to collect the rice at night, just pile it into a cone in the evening and cover it with bags, plastic and other dew protection.

But the weather forecast also shows that there will be two sunny days after the cloudy days, and then the rainy weather will follow.

This time, the rice seeds are obviously ripening relatively quickly, and the estimated harvest time is about the same as that of the mountain.

So Qiao's father planned to harvest all the rice before the rain, dry it a little to dry the moisture, and then slowly dry it when the sun came out.

He didn't try to persuade the other three production teams to act together, they saw that the four teams were in full swing, and they would definitely not be able to sit still.

Sure enough, the other three production teams also opened the sickle the next day, and the rice porridge was boiled in the canteen at noon that day, they didn't dare to cook salty rice like the fourth team, but it was still no problem to boil vegetable porridge.

The members of the alpine brigade were encouraged to work actively, and they didn't see a single lazy and slippery.

At this time, the benefits of the pedal thresher were also revealed, and the other production teams were so angry that they wanted to ask Qiao Qi'an to make a few more, but they had to prepare the materials themselves, and they had to subsidize some labor and money for the fourth team as wages.

Qiao Xiangqian, the captain of the second team, was distressed about the wages, but thinking about the wonderful use of the threshing machine, he had to grit his teeth and gather the materials and order two.

Qiao Qi'an was busy all of a sudden, and Qiao's father specially arranged a few people who knew how to do carpentry work to help, which relieved his pressure.

The Changshan Brigade was still some time away from harvesting rice, and Grandpa Lu was still worried about the foot thresher that Qiao's father said, so he sent Lu Aijun to ask about the situation, but he was stopped by the hot autumn harvest scene of the Gaoshan Brigade.

He asked about the materials of the thresher, and then rushed back to report to Grandpa Lu non-stop.

The time of planting rice in the alpine brigade was obviously many days later than theirs, and the harvest was early, no matter what method was used, they had to quickly exchange the rice seeds of the alpine brigade to be at ease.

Except for the first day, Qiao Jiayue didn't go to the ground again, and she didn't know what was bitten on her legs, and there were many red bumps, itching and pain.

She kept reaching out and scratching, and she scratched several blood marks.

Qiao's mother felt sorry for her, so she let her stay at home, and didn't even let her do it to dry rice.

Therefore, Qiao Jiayue has been paying attention to the weather forecast, and the farmer is watching God enjoy the food, from sowing to harvesting, it is closely related to the breath of heaven all the time.

Looking at this, Qiao Jiayue was stunned, except for a few areas that were cloudy, it was raining in many places, especially under the mountain, light to moderate rain, she was a little uneasy when she thought about it.

Late rice is different from early rice, there is less water in the rice stalks, and when it rains like this, the rice will fall quickly, and the straw will be easy to mold.

According to the weather forecast, Qiao's father compressed the time for harvesting rice very tightly, and the labor intensity of the members was very high.

Fortunately, the cafeteria also tried to fill the stomachs of the members, and everyone had no complaints.

The fertilised paddy field grew particularly well, with more than a quarter more ears than the one on the side, heavy and golden.

Qiao's father planned to use it to make rice seeds, but now that the weather was not right, he immediately arranged for someone to harvest it separately and dry it separately.

Rice seeds must not be dried with a dryer, this kind of spark is very fragile, high temperature toss, how many germination rates can there be?

When Lu Aijun came to deliver the materials, Qiao's father mentioned to him the weather conditions after that, and suggested that they harvest in different areas first, no matter what, to minimize the loss.

The Lu family originally had the idea of changing rice seeds, so they didn't hesitate to pick a rice field with a good orientation and a fast maturity to open the sickle.

When the first rain fell, the four teams were able to harvest the rice, while the other three teams had a lot left.

Without saying a word, the four teams provided free support for the thresher and manpower, and collected all the rice of the other teams.

The soaked rice is sent to the dryer as soon as possible, and the moisture is slightly dried, so that it can be exposed to the sun when the weather is good.

At this time, Grandpa Lu looked at the rain outside, and he was so worried.

Generally speaking, the autumn rain here will fall more intensively after the autumn harvest, so the pace of the autumn harvest is relatively slow, not like the summer to rush to plant late rice, and there is no sudden rainstorm.

However, this year's autumn rains are not at the right time, which has a great impact on the autumn harvest.

"Aijun, you can go to the alpine brigade again to see if the thresher is ready? Why don't you borrow a few to use?" Grandpa Lu pondered for a moment and decided to brave the rain to snatch the rice back.

This year's weather is strange, no one knows when the rain will fall, rather than the millet falling to the ground and moldy, it is better to take it back and dry it hard.

Almost as soon as Grandpa Lu spoke, Lu Aijun understood his old man's plan, "I'll go now." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Why don't we ask for support from the Takayama Brigade?"

If someone helps, it will be faster.

Grandpa Lu was a little moved, but after thinking about it again, he still gave up, "That's too troublesome, and besides, you always have to eat when you ask someone to help, and you can't afford it." I told the members that during the autumn harvest, the amount of work increased by half. ”

Lu Aijun felt a little regretful in his heart, but he also knew that Grandpa Lu's consideration was right, "Then I'll go right away." ”

Lu Aijun went to the fourth team again, and it happened that the fourth team was drying rice with relatively large moisture, and he looked at the big guy and was envious.

"Second brother, I came here this time to ask your production team to borrow a thresher. Lu Aijun knew that Qiao Qi'an had just started to make the threshing machine of their Changshan brigade, and he couldn't use it in time.

"Okay. Father Qiao readily agreed, "I'll find someone to send it to you." I'm afraid that this rain will fall for a while, and after you harvest the rice, spread it thin on the bamboo plaque. ”

"Then find a room with good airtightness, make a few simple kang roads, and burn the fire to dry it half-dry, so as to minimize the loss. ”

Lu Aijun was stunned, "Second brother, I didn't understand." ”

"Well, I'll go with you and give you guidance. "Father Qiao doesn't want the Changshan Brigade to suffer huge losses, as the two closest brigades, it's best not to make too big a difference in life.

Qiao's father took Qiao Hongyuan to the Changshan Brigade and found two stone houses, because the chimneys were not enough, and even demolished the chimneys of several households, which can be regarded as making simple heat dissipation pipes.

The members of the Changshan Brigade believed in Grandpa Lu's words very much, and they did not complain about working in the rain, and the addition of the threshing machine greatly encouraged them, and the speed was faster.

The harvested rice was immediately put into the two stone houses, lit on fire, and after an hour, the water vapor dried a lot, and then placed in other rooms of the production brigade for ventilation.

Grandpa Lu personally rubbed these rice grains that had dried a lot, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, which was also dried with fire, and Qiao Zhengyu's father and son's method was more efficient.

Next, he had to talk to Qiao's father about changing rice seeds, it couldn't be an equal exchange, and he had to be prepared to bargain.

Grandpa Lu couldn't help but think, the Alpine Brigade was doing so badly, why did it suddenly get lucky?

After some discussion, Qiao's father agreed that the Changshan Brigade would exchange one hundred and twenty catties of rice for four teams of one hundred catties of rice seeds, and after this autumn rain, the people of the Changshan Brigade would personally carry it back.
