Chapter 176: The Wheat Harvest is at the Bottom [June Ticket 160]
Since then, Qiao Jiayue has never mentioned Qiao Wugu again, since they have broken off the relationship, there will definitely be no intersection.
In the new year, the Alpine Brigade was busy again, and the officials of the commune came down to check the growth of wheat, which increased the pressure on the members a lot.
The good fertilizer can only be carried into the wheat field one by one.
The production teams saw that this was not good, and went to the commune to buy a lot of piglets back, so that the manure was barely enough.
It's not that they didn't want to buy fertilizer, but they don't have a ticket, and the supply and marketing cooperatives don't necessarily have fertilizer.
Even if there is fertilizer, when they receive the news and go to the supply and marketing cooperative, they will have already been bought out by other brigades.
There was no rain, the weather was a lot warmer, and the four brothers and sisters of Qiao Jiayue spontaneously sorted out their own land, such as mustard greens were cut to make sauerkraut, spinach fields had to be dug up, and late-planted cabbage and cauliflower had to be weeded and caught by insects.
As for the three-dimensional vegetable garden, they still plan to try it, do it themselves, mix yellow mud and straw, fix it with a wooden frame, and use it after drying.
After the dragon raised his head, he was stunned, and Qiao Jiayue began to cultivate vegetable seedlings.
Experienced housewives tend to raise seedlings in two periods and plant two crops of vegetables successively, so that they can be eaten until early autumn.
At this time, you can plant water spinach and red amaranth first, these two things can be eaten for a long time after being cut and mowed.
Qiao Jiayue took out a lot of seeds, and the four brothers and sisters each chose their favorite rapeseed seedlings to raise, the most popular of which were eggplants and tomatoes.
Qiao Jiayue quietly mixed the seeds of watermelons into it, this is the most ordinary watermelon, it grows for a long time in the high mountains, but the taste is sweet, and it is not much worse than those grown in other places.
The mud trough that has solidified the ground is fixed between the gaps in the vegetable field, and on the side against the wall, there are several brushes and brushes, ready to plant cucumbers, loofahs and other melons, and climb the vines against the wall to climb up to the roof, not taking up other space.
In her spare time, Qiao Jiayue occasionally went to other people's vegetable fields to take a look, and found that everyone had cultivated a large number of pumpkin seedlings, and she was a little worried about the lack of food.
The flowers and leaves of pumpkin can be eaten, and the fruit yield is not low, so it can be used as both a meal and a vegetable, and it is indeed the most affordable crop.
When transplanting vegetable seedlings, Qiao Jiayue selected a few kinds to send to Bai Meilan.
Neither she nor Chen Dongfang have ever gone to the ground, and their self-reserved land is not as neat as that of other people's children.
Qiao Jiayue asked Qiao Hongzhi to help, but she planted several vegetable seedlings, and one of them was a watermelon seedling.
The people in the alpine brigade had never seen watermelon seedlings, and they only thought they were melons, so they were naturally not afraid that they would be pulled out as capitalist seedlings.
In the midst of the busyness, Qiao Jiayue's long beans could pick tender leaves and eat them, and the alpine brigade blew the horn of wheat harvest.
At this time, even the favored children in the family have to go down to the field to help with the work.
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother had to let Qiao Jiayue cook at home, but she also took care of the work of raising chickens and feeding pigs, and she was very busy.
Mai Mang was very stably, and the three Qiao Hongzhi brothers were pierced in the ground, and when they came back, they grabbed a lot of red roads with their hands, which looked a little scary.
Fortunately, the weather was good, and the wheat was beaten down and could quickly dry the moisture, and at night, Qiao's father and mother could not rest, and they had to stay up late to go to the field to release water and repair the ridges of the fields where the wheat had been cut.
Working day and night like this, the rest time is shortened, and even the iron body can't stand it.
Qiao Jiayue felt very sorry for her parents, but fortunately, she was in charge of the cooking, she could do her hands and feet on the food, and the meals she cooked were oily, so she must be fed, so that she could have the strength to work.
After rotating day and night, some women in other production teams have fallen, the reason is very simple, the labor intensity is high, and the family is not full, where can they support this busy manual labor?
Everyone was afraid that the spring planting would be delayed, so the production captain immediately went to understand the situation and immediately arrested the woman's mother-in-law.
Usually it is not uncommon for mothers-in-law to be harsh on daughters-in-law, and everyone is accustomed to it, but farming is different, and women are also important laborers, so how can you do it if you don't have enough to eat?
With such an example, the mothers-in-law of other families did not dare to make any trouble, and obediently tried to find a way to feed the family.
Anyway, now there is no limit to the wheat, no one cares how much you want to pick and cook, no matter how unpalatable it is, you can fill your stomach.
When Qiao Jiayue heard about this, she couldn't help but snort, she really hates this kind of person, she wants the horse to run and not the horse to eat grass, dreaming!
After the wheat harvest was finished, the work of drying the wheat was for the old people and children, and the brigade did not care whether the wheat harvest was good or not, and the fields were busy as if they were fighting.
Fortunately, this year God is very powerful, it only rains after the wheat is harvested, and it is much easier to plow the land.
After ploughing, the ground had to be raked, but in a hurry, it was not possible to be as fine as in previous years, so the seedlings were planted in a hurry.
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, they collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move, even if Qiao Jiayue changed her tricks to make food, the oil and water were enough, and they still lost a lot of weight visibly with the naked eye.
Qiao Jiayue was distressed, so she specially bought a few packets of prepared tonic medicine from the mall, plus pork rib stew soup for them to drink.
Qiao Jiayue worked hard to make up for her parents, and after a few days, their faces looked a lot better.
Qiao's mother took over the work of the kitchen, she took Qiao Jiayue's hand and looked at the gray-brown mark on it, which was left after being splashed with oil.
"Yue'er, thank you for your hard work. Qiao's mother said distressedly, usually they are reluctant to cook with her, who knows that they still can't avoid it.
"No, Abba and Auntie are hard. I'm glad I can help. Qiao Jiayue hugged Qiao's mother's waist and said.
"Well, okay, you go out to play, and the rest of A-Niang will do it. Qiao's mother patted Qiao Jiayue's head and asked her to go out to play.
"I don't want to play, I'm going to water the vegetable patch. ”
Qiao's mother couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Qiao Jiayue running out. The meals these days, she knows in her heart, are all the things in her daughter's package.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, but at that time, her husband and children were tired, and she couldn't bear to say anything about her daughter.
The things in Qiao Jiayue's hands will be eaten sooner or later, they are used to such a hearty meal, how can they live in the future?
The four production teams weighed the wheat separately and calculated the yield per mu, and the faces of the cadres of the brigade were very unsightly.
This wheat is worse than their summer harvest last year, so they say that they are not suitable for growing wheat here! There is no shortage of fertilizer or anything, but it does not bear ears, what can be done?
"How can you report this amount to the commune?" Qiao Yibing felt embarrassed when he thought about it, the output was too low.
Chen Dongfang squinted, "Let's go to the commune first to inquire about the situation and see if the wheat is all handed over or proportional." ”
"Shall I go?" Qiao Yibing asked.
Chen Dongfang glanced at him, "If you don't want to, I can go." ”
Qiao Yibing put down the cigarette in his hand, "Forget it, I'll take a run." ”
"Wait, I'm going to the Commune too. Qiao's father called out to Qiao Yibing.
Qiao Yibing glanced at Qiao's father suspiciously, he wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but then he thought of the fish fry, so he didn't say no.
