Chapter 11 Harvesting Canola
The weather is very sunny these days, the production team is busy harvesting rapeseed, and the children will follow behind their adults to pick up the rapeseed stalks that the adults deliberately spilled. www.biquge.info There are many children in the family, and adults dare to sprinkle more than one in the family, and the team can harvest a season of rapeseed, and they can also pick up rapeseed that can be exchanged for more than two catties of rapeseed oil. Even the members who are timid and dare not deliberately scatter the rapeseed stalks will also slide some rapeseed stalks from their hands naturally because they work too fast. Their children followed behind to pick up, and the harvested rapeseed could also be exchanged for about a pound of vegetable oil. Don't think that this pound of vegetable oil is less, at this time, people who eat oil quite sparingly can last for nearly a year. Don't think this is an exaggeration, at this time, people are reluctant to eat stir-fried vegetables at all, and the normal ones are steamed on the rice pot, and then mixed with chopsticks dipped in oil. There are also those who mix vegetables with goose feathers dipped in oil, but they are usually gossiped about, saying that this person is a loser and will not live.
Liu Guixiang and Liu Minghua of Wang Hongying's family are in junior high school, and they have no farm leave, but Liu Xingxiang and Liu Chunxiang, who are still in elementary school, have holidays, and Liu Taoxiang, the three sisters followed Wang Hongying, Liu Yujin, and their old capital (grandfather) and grandmother to pick up. Liu's grandmother is not slow to work, but her little feet can't stand it for a long time, so she always has to work for a while and rest for a while. When she was resting, she helped her little granddaughter cut out the rape tongs and put them in the basket, and threw the bare pole back into the field, so that Momoka would be more relaxed when carrying the basket.
The rape can only be harvested in the early morning when there is still dew. (Cutting rape is different from harvesting rice and wheat, first of all, it must be harvested when it is not ripe, that is, when the rape clamp is white.) In the later stage, when the rape is ripe, it cannot be harvested when it is dry, but in the morning when the dew is wet. This way, the canola clips will not be fried and all the canola seeds will fall off to the ground. Adults have to get up early, children have to get up early, Xingxiang and Chunxiang are studying, they are used to getting up early, and they can still get up in bed, but Momoka can't.
"I can't afford it! I can't afford it! I still have to sleep. ”
Wang Hongying pulled Momoka to get up and when she wanted to dress Momoka, Momoka closed her eyes and hummed. Guixiang, who had already packed up and was about to go to school, felt a little sorry for her little sister, and said to her mother next to her: "Mom! Let Momoka sleep for a while! Xingxiang is not impossible to cook breakfast at home with her two younger sisters." ”
When the members catch up with the busy farming, although they will eat in the team's canteen, they only have one meal at noon, and they still need to eat at home in the morning and evening. Before the Liu family was separated, because Wang Hongying's mother-in-law had small feet, it was inconvenient to work and her earning was low, so she basically came back early to make breakfast. Now that the family is separated, each family will do its own family, of course, it is impossible for Wang Hongying, as the main laborer, to come back to cook, and it is normal to arrange Xingxiang, who can't cut rape, to cook breakfast at home.
"It's okay to let Xingxiang take her sister at home, take your little sister to the edge of the field these days and put it, I don't know what it's called and the insect bites several big bags on that face. ”
Wang Hongying thought about the little person who was unconsciously grabbing the little face with his hand while squirming and crying, and she was distressed, and she was thinking about where to get a mosquito net cloth to make a small mosquito net for the child. If Xingxiang takes her sister at home, then she doesn't have to bother making a small mosquito net.
Nowadays, children have to help with the work, even the five-year-old Momoka has to herd geese and dig wild vegetables, and it is normal for the twelve-year-old Xingxiang to cook breakfast at home. She didn't have the slightest grievance, and she also carefully brought the peach fragrance and grass fragrance very well. It's just that the little girl also has her own thoughts, after she boiled the porridge, covered the pot and stuffed it, picked up the little grass fragrance who had woken up, and urinated the.
While urinating on the feces, she nagged Xiaocaoxiang who didn't understand anything: "Xiaocaoxiang, my sister doesn't want to study, can I come back and take you?"
"Xiaocaoxiang, it's so hard to study! I'd rather come home and take you than go to school. ”
"Xiaocaoxiang, you said that if my sister told my uncle that she would not study anymore and came back to take you, would my uncle beat me to death?"
......
Hey, Xingxiang's trouble is that she doesn't want to study, and she doesn't dare to tell her parents, she is really afraid of beating!
At this time, although the school has been back to normal for many years, after experiencing the panic of not having a book to read, adults have taken this hard-won opportunity to read and have a tight grasp of the children's need to study hard. Unlike the older generation, you want to study, but if you don't want to study, you can come to work at home to earn work, and treat it so casually. Therefore, Kyoka is worried that after her uncle hears that she doesn't want to study, there is a high chance that a wild beating will happen.
I don't know if the little person understands the third sister's nagging, but she suddenly kicked her calf and pulled her little arm, so that the apricot fragrance that held her urine and poop almost didn't catch it, and it fell to the ground.
"Ouch, you little scoundrel, you scared the hell out of me. If I fall on you, my mother won't be able to beat me when she comes back!"
Xingxiang, who was scared into a cold sweat, couldn't help but scream, because she was afraid of startling her little sister, and tried to suppress her voice as much as possible! Momoka in the back room finally woke up, although she was only five years old, she was already able to put on her own clothes and shoes. Just as he was dragging his shoes out of the inside, he heard the third sister lowering her voice and saying something to drop the little sister, and immediately ran over nervously: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why did the little sister fall!"
Xingxiang supported Xiaocaoxiang with the support of her knees with one hand, and pushed Momoxiang's outstretched head with the other: "Stay away! ”
Momoka reluctantly retreated to the side and stood, her mouth unforgiving: "You are also a little brat!"
"Don't talk back to me here, hurry up and drive grandma's goose out and release it, or when grandma slaughters the goose, the goose eye won't let you eat it." ”
Momoka listened to the assignment of the third sister, pouted, and went to the goose cage in the front yard with her fluffy and messy hair. A few geese who had been waiting for a long time saw the little girl who gave them food every day, and they were excited to huddle together and want to pounce on the little girl, but unfortunately because there was a fence blocking it, they could only stretch out their slender necks with their lives. Momoka opened the fence door of the goose cage, and several half-sized geese that had finally been liberated fluttered their wings and scattered joy in the yard. Crazy enough, he began to look for something to fill his stomach in the corners of the yard, but he couldn't find anything, so he gathered around Momoka again.
When a few geese were happy, Momoxiang went to the eaves of the porch to take the bamboo pole that was specially used to put the geese. When a few geese gathered around him again, he pulled with a bamboo pole and began to drive the geese out to a field that was closest to Zhuangzi and had just been cut rape.
There were already several other children in the village who had driven a few flocks of geese in this field, and when they saw that Taoxiang was also driving the geese over, she shouted at her from afar: "Taoxiang! Come here, there are a lot of lantern vegetables here!"
In the past, the lantern vegetables in the field had long been dug up, but this year it is really there, and the geese of each family are grinding their shells back and forth.
At the beginning of the year, the production team was informed that the fields would be divided into households, so they began to distribute some collective vegetable gardens that had not yet started planting vegetables to each family in advance. As soon as the vegetable gardens arrived, they began to plant seasonal vegetables that could be planted, and the new vegetables could not be eaten at all, and there were always redundant elders. In addition, although there is no limit to how many livestock each family can raise, as well as pigs and cattle. But because every family has concerns, they don't dare to let go of it for a while. There are no too many poultry at home, and there are no pigs that consume a lot of feed, and if you only have a dozen chickens, ducks, and geese, you don't have to waste time digging wild vegetables or anything, and the old vegetable gangs left over from your own vegetable garden are enough to feed the livestock.
Therefore, in previous years, the rape field, which should be bare, and even the rape stubble was pulled out, this year it is a combination of weeds and wild vegetables, covering the yellow, semi-dry land, and it has become a good place for children to herd geese and play.
