After the festival, I didn't go out much.

Zhou Shujie was busy at home for three days before he finished the two pairs of shoes for the pillar.

Zhou Shujie looked at the kang, the two pairs of shoes with her two feet as big as a boat.

I wonder what his grandson Zhuzi will look like when he receives the shoes I mailed him.

The villagers were not idle, seeing that it was a sunny day in the past few days, they carried and dragged the branches they picked up on the mountain, and the whole family went home together.

Brother Zhou, Brother Tuesday too, the eldest brother first poured his father-in-law's house for two days, and then poured it for his own family for three days with Brother Tuesday.

As soon as his family was busy, he went to Zhou Shujie's house again, and the two brothers went up the mountain together to catch firewood for three days.

When they were sent home, they helped to trample the thin ones, sawed the thick ones with a saw, and split them with an axe, and stacked them neatly in the newly built side building, and put the three meters wide and four meters long side building. It was stuffed with dry firewood.

Zhou Shujie also smiled and said: "This is enough for us to burn for two winters." ”

Brother Zhou replied calmly: "Don't save, freeze the child again." ”

Brother Tuesday also smiled and said, "Burn hard, it's not enough for us to get it for you on the mountain." ”

With this partial wood, Zhou Shujie is not worried about freezing in winter, and his heart is much more relaxed.

The rest of the period before the autumn harvest was the three elder brothers of the Guo family and the two elder brothers of the eldest uncle's family. The five of them went into the mountains several times and picked some mountain goods, such as some mushrooms, hazelnuts, pecans, and so on.

I also brought back two rabbits and three pheasants.

Whether it is mountain goods or wild goods, these two families sent some to Zhou Shujie.

On this day, Zhou Shujie entered the back garden and saw that his corn was already golden, probably because the garden was planted earlier than the ground, so they matured first.

I didn't ask anyone for help, so I broke all these dozens of rows of corn at home.

When they had finished breaking it, they tied it in two knots with corn leaves and put it on a wooden shelf in front of the barn where the corn was dried.

Wooden shelves like this, which every house has, are used to dry corn.

Then he took a sickle and cut all the corn stalks, and placed them in the open space above the vegetable cellar, and when they were dry, they could use them to make a fire.

I also picked two bright green ones and ate them like sweet sticks. If you haven't eaten it, you may not know that although the corn stalk is not as sweet as the sweet stalk, it has a lot of moisture, and it is the favorite of all rural children when they are young.

It was quite sweet to eat, so Zhou Shujie found a few greener ones from it, left the middle two sections from the beginning to the end, and sent them to Aunt Guo's grandson, along with half a frame of sand fruits.

The sand fruits on the tree were all beaten down by Zhou Shujie, and sent some to the uncle's family, the uncle's family, and Aunt Guo's family, and each family sent some, and the rest was cut into slices by her and dried into dried sand fruits.

Time slipped away quietly in this busy life.

When Sun Jinzhu was holding two pairs of shoes in his hands, although there was no expression on his face, a smile flashed in his eyes.

The village has entered the most important harvest time of the year.

The brigade grows more corn and soybeans. When it was time to harvest, not only the young and strong, but also all the women went to the ground.

There are some old people left in each family, leading half-grown children, pouring back their own food like little hamsters.

The strong laborers of the family not only have to collect the grain of the brigade during the day, but sometimes they will take advantage of the big moon to cut their own grain at night, and they will do it in the middle of the night.

In this way, the public family worked in two shifts, and it took a month and a half to clean up the ropes.

Everyone has lost a layer of skin, full of exhaustion, but full of smiles, because this year's New Year is really good, and every granary and warehouse are full.

Zhou Shujie is also tired, with back pain and leg cramps, and it is difficult to go home to the kang every night.

In Aunt Guo's words, I can't wait to drag the cat's tail to the kang.

Lying on the kang with a sore body, Zhou Shujie was still secretly calculating, how many soybeans did he make this year?

I planted 24 acres of soybeans this year, and yesterday I put 38 bags into the warehouse, which is a little more than a bag and a half per acre of land, and this kind of yield is already a lot in the absence of fertilizer.

If you marry a girl and a daughter-in-law in the countryside, you will bring it under her name, so Zhou Shujie's family is now 36 acres of land.

Lying on the kang, thinking about how much he had left in addition to handing in the task this year, thinking about Zhou Shujie fell asleep, and he slept very deeply, and even the child woke up in the middle of the night and cried for a long time before he opened his eyes.

Some blamed themselves for sleeping so deeply, and picked up the two children with a distressed face, and coaxed them until they stopped hiccups, and then put them to sleep.

The next morning, as a matter of course, I got up late, and fortunately it was after cleaning up the autumn, and I almost finished sweeping, otherwise I would have to be said by the villagers to be a lazy daughter-in-law.

After eating, clean up yourself. He wore hemp braids and a scarf. Carrying a dustpan, he ran to the yard while the child was asleep, squatted there and pulled out the soybeans that had been pressed into the soil by rollers, one by one.

There were many people in the whole yard who were doing the same work as her, and each family was reluctant to waste this golden grain here, so they all squatted here and buckled it one by one.

It took more than an hour to deduct it, and the child was about to wake up, so he walked home quickly with most of the soybeans like mud monkeys in the dustpan.

In the past few days, because of the autumn harvest, I was too busy, and the tired milk was not enough, so I was afraid that the child would get sick because of poor eating, so Zhou Shujie ran home as soon as it was time to feed.

Although she didn't use the autumn harvest in the brigade, there was a lot of work in her own field, and she couldn't watch people do it for her there. In addition, her body has not been well raised, and she has not been on her period since she gave birth, and she has not done much, and she is not tired, and the red on her face that has just been raised is tired again.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Guo and the eldest aunt persuaded her to stay and don't do it, Zhou Shujie is a very stubborn person, and it is not easy to persuade anyone he recognizes.

In the end, he came up with a solution that Grandpa Zhou went to get fish every day, and when he caught crucian carp, he sent it to Zhou Shujie, so that she could use crucian carp to make soup to replenish her body like she did during confinement.

Seeing these relatives and friends busy for her, Zhou Shujie felt very uncomfortable.

After the autumn harvest, the tired people were sleepy and tired, and the team also gave a message, saying that there was no work for the next three days, so that the villagers would rest at home for a few days, and in a few days they would start to collect and deliver grain.

The villagers were given a few days to breathe, and each of them slept at home until three o'clock in the morning, ate a few oily meals, and rested for a few days, and everyone's face was rosy again.
