The Year (23)

What are you most afraid of when you harvest your crops?

There is only one answer, and that is the unpredictable weather.

The Great Northern Wilderness also has its own microclimate, that is, the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west. The rain will come down.

But if you don't harvest this wheat, it's really rotten if you put it in the ground. When it rains, the harvester is not very easy to use, especially now that such machinery and equipment, it can really kill people.

What to do? One person and one sickle, manpower harvests.

Don't even think about hiding from anyone. Including Lin Yutong and the fourth master.

One man and one row of wheat. At this time, as long as you stand on the ground, you can deeply feel how big this land of the Great Northern Wilderness is. There's no end in sight.

Although it was raining, it was very hot and muggy, and the boys were all vests. Sauce red, green, white, blue. That's all. As far as the eye can see, the clothes are full of the words "labor is the most glorious," "the vast countryside has great achievements," "serve the people," and "learn from Comrade Lei Feng."

The vest on the fourth master was found by Lin Yutong in the space. White. It's clean, nothing is printed. It's kind of special.

Lin Yutong still wears a towel to wipe sweat around his neck and wears long sleeves. Even the cuffs are tightly tied. I brought a small medicine bag to myself and the fourth master to prevent mosquito bites.

The fourth master and Lin Yutong can both cut wheat. In the past, in the Old Summer Palace, wheat was not planted much, but it was harvested by itself. Occasionally, I will call those bad brothers of the fourth master. Of course, whoever is called or not, it has to be a favor. Once, the Ninth Master smashed an errand. Afraid that Honghui will punish him. So, without saying a word, he went into the garden, and he didn't leave. At that time, it was the time of the wheat harvest, and it was also the time when the melons in the field were about to ripen. He took the initiative to ask to live in the melon shed and show the melon field to the fourth master. said that he was afraid that someone would steal the melon. Seeing his ghost, who dares to steal watermelons in the Old Summer Palace. As a result, Honghui asked Hongzhao to enter the garden to invite someone. Hongzhao himself is naughty, and he is naughty no matter how old he grows up. Seeing that it was the ninth master looking at the melon field. I didn't do anything, but I really picked the melons in the garden secretly, and all the ones that grew big and looked ripe were all picked and hidden in the middle of the night. The ninth master was so frightened that he couldn't stand up the next day. If you don't look at the melon field, you won't lose this melon. When I looked at the melon field, why did I lose it? Uncle and nephew, one said that the other was a thief who stole the melons, and the other said that this was a guard who stole it. I can't even be angry with the fourth master. A pair of useless things.

Now that I think about it, it's really a matter of my previous life.

Now, the two of them bent down, but the mood of harvesting wheat is no longer the same.

The ridges that the two of them got were next to each other, and the fourth master took up half of the ridge, which was equivalent to him harvesting one and a half ridges, and Lin Yutong only needed to harvest half a ridge.

Where is Lin Yutong willing to work hard. So his men flew and cut quickly. Wait until you have passed the fourth master, and then turn back to pick him up. The two alternated so much that they didn't even lose to others. It's not the top group, but it's not lagging behind.

The rain kept falling down people's faces. The towel around Lin Yutong's neck was soaked after a while. Hanging around the neck is wet and heavy.

I can't go back to eat at noon, so the secretary sent the head of the nest, and one person divided it into two nests. Swallow it down with the rain.

Lin Yutong had to sigh at the hard-working quality of these people.

She ate one and gave the other to the fourth master. Neither shall he eat in this place, in public. Even if you eat secretly, you can eat it little by little, so that it is not eye-catching. The fourth master will not work. He's not welcome. I guess I also know that I eat wowotou, which is a little difficult to swallow. Took it and gnawed it. Lin Yutong gave him the water in the kettle on his body to drink. As long as it is to prevent cold in the rain.

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong and handed his coat to Lin Yutong, "Put it on." ”

It's wet inside and out, what's the difference between wearing it and not wearing it?

Lin Yutong shook his head. The fourth master stubbornly draped his clothes on Lin Yutong, then lifted her arm and stuffed it into his sleeve.

What's wrong with that?

The clothes on my body are soaked, can I wear another wet suit on the outside and tie it to my body?

It wasn't until the fourth master sorted out the clothes on his chest that Lin Yutong understood.

He was wearing a white shirt, but inside was a pink bra. The girls of this era wear that kind of vest. It's like the kind worn by the old aunt of later generations. So, when the clothes are wet, you can't see anything. But Lin Yutong's shaping effect is really good. Plus well developed. The chest is choppy. This wet, the effect is really a bit inappropriate.

She smiled awkwardly and sorted out her clothes. Don't forget to tease him," ...... Do you want to ......?"

The fourth master glared at her, "I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

Fortunately, she was as tired as a dog, and no one paid attention to her. Looking up like this, some of them are lying on the wheat stubble ground, and they don't care about the stabbing people, and they don't dislike the water and mud everywhere. Just lying on all fours. Let the rain hit you. There were also two or three people, sitting back to back, with a piece of clothing draped over their heads, just to keep out the rain.

Later generations have always said that women should be used by men, and men should be used as animals. Lin Yutong felt that they should really be asked to look at the young people of this era. This is used by women as animals and men as machines.

The rain in the afternoon showed no signs of stopping, and after a little rest for half an hour, I had to continue drying.

When it got dark, Lin Yutong and the fourth master could be considered to have cut their heads. Sit on the ground and rest. You can't go back without permission. Because I don't know if the company commander will say anything about working overtime overnight.

As a result, I don't have to work overtime in the field at night. Because I have to go back to the big field and work overtime.

The wheat that was pulled back today had to be threshed overnight. Then dry, otherwise, it will heat up and mildew when you hold it together.

This busy, it's another night. When it was dawn, he could finally rest, but Lin Yutong still couldn't live in peace. Because the big kang in the dormitory of the educated youth has to be used to dry wheat. These educated youths all have to be crowded in Lin Yutong's small courtyard. On the male side, on the female side, on the kang, under the kang. Also included the front infirmary, the mechanic class, were occupied. The same is true for those old workers, three or five families of men and women are crowded together separately. The rest of the space had to be vacated.

This is not a summer harvest, this is simply a battle.

Lin Yutong and the fourth master can't open a small stove. Ate the cafeteria. This period of time has exhausted people to the extreme. The corps was not stingy, killed a pig, stewed beans and eggplant, and served a bowl per person. Lin Yutong actually felt that it was better than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"What do you think?" she asked the fourth master.

The fourth master rubbed her hair, not very hungry, who would think that this could be compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

But with such efforts, this year's wheat is still not successful. Not to mention the reduced production, there are still many moldy ones. It is already foreseeable that everyone's ration in the second half of the year will be this moldy wheat.

After harvesting the summer grain, it's time to plant corn and soybeans. This sowing is even more terrible, because you have to pay attention to the agricultural time, a little later, in the autumn, it will not ripen when the frost falls, and it will be blind.

Fortunately, he can use machinery, and the fourth master is liberated. Lin Yutong should also pay attention to harvesting various medicinal materials. No need to go to the fields. As long as you tell a few half-year-old children what you need, they will look for it, and Lin Yutong will concoct it at home.

But at this time, Lian Li gave a new task. In view of the fact that everyone did not have vegetables to eat last winter, this year, all families and single educated youths are allowed to open up the wasteland and grow vegetables for themselves. If you want to eat in the canteen, you will weigh the dishes every day, hand them to the canteen, and ask the secretary to cook them. But this cultivation of vegetables cannot delay everyone's collective labor.

That is, you have to get up at night or before dawn to work overtime.

If you want to use Renli's machine, it's a dream. The machine doesn't consume fuel? Is it easy to even get this little oil? Besides, when it starts, if it breaks, who's to blame?

With cows, horses, and mules, that's even more of a dream. If the livestock does not rest for a while, can they still move the next day? Can they harm the interests of Lianli for their own sake?

Absolutely not.

In short, the machines have to rest, and the animals have to rest. It's just that people don't have to rest.

Even the company commander instructor has gone into battle to open a vegetable plot for himself, do others still want to specialize?

Let's go!

So, lighting torches and slipping along the riverbank, one person can open up most of the acre. The fourth master and Lin Yutong opened more than one acre of land. What can you grow? Except for cabbage, it's turnips. It's too late for anything else.

In order not to make his own dishes look unspecial, Lin Yutong didn't dare to use spring water to water the ground excessively. Every time a bucket of water is mixed with a small half cup, even so, it makes the dishes in his own field seem more energetic than others.

"At that time, I sprinkled a little bit of plant ash. That's how the fourth master explained.

But at that time, the light was blind, and who knows whether he sprinkled it or not.

But the other party still believed it, "Originally, I was going to lie about it, but I was lazy at the time, and the effect was immediately different." It's really 'people coaxing the ground, and the ground coaxing the belly'. You can't fake it. ”

The fourth master nodded thoughtfully, what he said was right.

In the early autumn, Lin Yutong's acre of cabbage and half an acre of radish grow particularly well. Each radish is dug up and is a foot long. Stout very.

Lin Yutong is embarrassed, but they don't like to eat radishes at all.

"Send a car to Uncle Wang. The fourth master said. It's self-grown, and it's nothing to give away. The supply of food in the city is more difficult than that in the countryside. Don't look at Uncle Wang's power, it's just as difficult.

Lin Yutong nodded, when he went to be a guest during the New Year. Seeing that Aunt Wang was reluctant to throw away the cabbage root. Cut into thin slices and eat the same as boiled with water.

Hospitality in the city, in the winter, can bring out a bowl of water to boil radish, that must be a generous person.

Lin Yutong plucked all the radish tassels and pickled them with ginger. This stuff tastes better than turnips. Whoever doesn't want turnips and tassels, she wants them. When it is marinated and given away, it is also a gift that can be taken in hand.
