Hearing me ask about delivering food, my grandfather said solemnly, "Your uncle said hello last night." Someone brought them a car and food at noon today. ”

Hearing that the uncle has arranged it, then there is no problem.

At noon, someone rushed to deliver food, and it was the honest middle-aged man from yesterday.

I thought that the wheat could not be harvested in one day, but with everyone's efforts, it was finished in one day.

The mowing is finished, but it is not all pulled back, and there are at least ten carts left in the field.

They discussed it at dinner, and then decided to work in two groups tomorrow. One wave went to cut wheat for Uncle Guo's house, and the other wave went to pull wheat for Uncle Guo's house.

A sweet night's sleep!

Every morning is the busiest time for the small mountain village.

Today, Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo drove a carriage to haul wheat.

Aunt Guo took her aunt and her gang to cut wheat in her field.

Guo San's sister-in-law and I still cook and watch the children.

Grandpa won half a box of matches in the yard yesterday, and he said that he would make up a box if he won half a box today.

Uncle Guo's 30 acres of wheat were harvested for a day and a half.

There is still a day and a half left before the time given by the brigade, which is enough time to thresh a piece of wheat. After discussing it, it was decided to beat out the wheat that my family had cut first.

After lunch that day, the uncle went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a wheat thresher.

I don't even remember what a threshing machine looks like.

When I moved things to the yard, I didn't recognize them for a while. Is this green the machine?

It's really too primitive, and the power below is a pedal with a foot, a bit like the principle of a sewing machine.

The top is a 50cm barrel shape, and there is a filling hole on it, and you can press the pedal to fill in the wheat strands one by one. There are two outlets below, one for wheat and the other for straw.

It's a small machine that can be operated by one person.

We borrowed a total of eight from the brigade headquarters. It was really a battle of men, women and children. It took a whole afternoon, and it was almost dark at seven o'clock.

The wheat grains dragged down in this way cannot be directly floured, and it is still wearing a layer of wheat coating.

It needs to be dried and rolled with rollers. will reveal the innermost coffee-colored little face.

It took us a day and a half to finish, thresh, crush and lift the wheat.

Lifting wheat is to use special tools, "lifting", lifting the wheat high, with the help of the power of the wind, blowing away the wheat husks inside, and the wheat will be particularly clean.

Now all that's left is the final drying. In good weather, the wheat needs to be exposed to the sun for three days to dry out, put it in bags and store it in the warehouse.

The sun on the fourth day came down amid the busy smiling faces of the people

At five o'clock the next morning, I heard the long-lost knocking sound, which was the sound of going to work.

The brigade began to harvest the wheat today, except for the labor that must be produced by every household. The extra person will be counted as 20 catties of wheat every day.

There are 200 acres of land in our village, of which 80 are wheat, 80 are soybeans, and 40 are corn. (15 acres for one day)

Self-reserved land is the land that is left after everyone in the village has been divided. If an elderly person dies in the family, the brigade will take back the land. In the same way, if a child is born in the family, the brigade will also divide the land, which is the role of self-reserved land.

Now it is these 80 hours of wheat that will be harvested. There are more than 400 young people in the village, and it took 10 days to harvest 80 days of wheat.

Of course, this has little to do with me, because our pillars are soldiers, so we don't have to work. No one can earn 20 pounds of wheat a day.

The uncle's house was where the two elder brothers went.

Aunt Guo'er's house was gone by Brother Guo and Second Brother Guo.

The rest of us spent five days beating out the wheat from Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo's house.

The wheat was brought down from the ox cart, and the eldest brother carried it to the barn.

This is the second car, and it has brought back ten bags before, and this car is ten bags again.

This year, my family has 12 acres of wheat, and I beat 2O bags of wheat grains. You may not hear much, but that's a lot in the absence of fertility today.

The uncle's 24 acres made 38 bags.

Aunt Guo's family took 30 acres and made 45 bags.

Doesn't that look like a lot? That's because it's a good year.

Every year, each mu of land must be handed over to the brigade with a bag of grain, and the brigade will also pay the money by the pound if the grain is not handed over for nothing.

In addition to the food mission, there is also an annual contract fee for the land.

That is to say, we are contracting the land of the state.

Every year, if you go to hand in the task, and every remaining family can eat enough, it is already a good year.

Like this year, there is still a surplus, which is rare in ten years.

We also have to understand that the country was also in difficulty at that time.

There is an old saying among farmers, "If you have food at home, you don't panic." "Now I'm in this kind of mentality, looking at Luo's 20 bags of wheat in the warehouse, I feel old and down-to-earth.

Don't look at the fact that there is still so much rice and gold hidden in the house, it is not visible, and it is not visible. There is no bright face, which makes people feel down-to-earth.

Looking at the wheat in front of me, all that flashed in my mind were noodles, white flour steamed buns, dumplings, and these noodle-related foods.

I've decided! I'm going to make noodles, I'm going to eat new noodles.

There are no noodle making machines in our village. If you want to make noodles, you can only pull the wheat to the county seat 50 miles away. So it's usually a few families who get together and go to make noodles together.

After a while, I will ask Aunt Guo and Uncle Guo if they want to meet.

When I came out of the barn, I saw that I was covered in dust.

I thought, boil a big pot of water and take a shower for a while.

In the past few days, I have just scrubbed the wheat every day and then went to bed, and I always feel that my body is going to be painted.

As someone who has experienced such a convenient bath in the aftermarket, it is hard to imagine that I have not taken a bath for eight or nine days.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is tickling on my body, and it can't be lice! Lice in this era are very violent! As long as you have it, it is difficult to get rid of it.

The most troublesome thing is hair, women nowadays are in vogue to wear long braids, and the shortest one is waist-to-waist like me.

Brush the pot, add clean water, and burn it over a fire.

Here I moved the big wooden barrel out and waited for a shower.

An hour later

It took a layer of skin to feel like I was clean

Put the bath water out and put the barrel away.

When I saw that the sun outside was already in the west, I wanted to go to Aunt Guo'er's house to pick up the child and her mother-in-law.

By the way, my mother-in-law has spent the past few days with her children at Aunt Guo'er's house, and now my mother-in-law is not so afraid of people.

It's just that I was a little awkward when I just sent her over the first day, and the next day I took the initiative to go to Aunt Guo'er's house with the child with me.

Maybe it's because Aunt Guo'er's family is all children, so she feels that there is no danger.
