Chapter 109: Voles

After eating in the morning, Le Lang took San Lang and three o'clock to the village, yesterday Shen Min ran over and told him to cut rice today, let him come over to help, he agreed anyway.

On the side of the creek in front of Xiaoxi Village is a plain washed out by the mountain torrent, and under the cultivation and hard work of the ancestors of Xiaoxi Village, this plain has now become a fertile field.

On the other side of the creek is a cliff, a steep hillside, which cannot be cultivated, and in addition to this plain, the Langjia family is also unable to plant because it is often flooded, leaving only a field of about 300 acres near the village and downstream, which has been opened up to grow rice, and now the rice is ripe, and the field is sprinkled with gold, and a kind of harvest joy is imprinted on people's faces.

The embankment of this field has been heightened and strengthened by generations of Xiaoxi villagers, and no flood water has been able to flood here.

Xiaoxi Village is located in a remote area, there is no agricultural machinery willing to come here, even if it comes, it has missed the harvest season, in view of this, Xiaoxi Village bought a rice harvester at its own expense, and when the rice is harvested, it will give its own village free rice cutting, and after cutting the village, it will go to other villages to help cut, forty yuan per mu, and the farming season is full of money.

Fujian rice is harvested twice a year, Xiaoxi Village bought this rice cutter in about a year has been repaid, now the money earned deducts labor and oil costs, and the rest are recorded in the account book of the village department, at the end of the year, to see how much the village department earns this year, deduct the money of the village next year, and then send the rest to the villagers.

At the end of the year, the income, expenditure and surplus of the year will be written on red paper and pasted at the entrance of the village department, so that everyone knows that if he is greedy for this money, he will get out of Xiaoxi Village and never get along.

A person who even swallows the money and wealth of his clan is not worthy of staying in Xiaoxi Village, this is the words that every Xiaoxi Village clansman must remember.

After the rice is cut, it is put into the warehouse to dry, and there is a dryer in the village, mainly for the villagers to dry some grain. In this season, the weather is changeable, and I don't know how long it will be when it is sunburned on the ground, and sometimes it will rain for a few days, sometimes for a while, so the village has a great foresight to buy a dryer, so that some nearby villages take the rice here to dry when it comes to harvesting rice.

Of course, other villages have to charge money for drying here, although it is only a small amount of money, but it is also an income.

If you want to sell the rice after drying, there are some people waiting to buy it, all of them are some winemakers in Linjia Village, and some people have even booked with others when the rice is not yet ripe, and the price they buy rice is usually higher than the market price, so the people in the village are also willing to sell it to them.

Shen Min called Le Lang mainly to ask him to help wait for the rice to be bagged after drying in the warehouse, his father is the village chief and now he has no time, his wife has to watch the pharmacy, his wife has to take care of the children, there is no time, he is the only one left in the family, his uncle followed his son to the sports car, and a son is working in the city again, he has to find someone. Otherwise, if there is another burst of rain or typhoon, these rice will not know what to do.

Le Lang put San Lang in Shen Min's house to play with Nannan, and he walked to Shen Min's field.

When I came to the field, I heard the roar of the machine, but it was the rice harvester who was cutting the rice, and after cutting the rice, I had to quickly find someone to plow the field and then plant the seedlings, otherwise I would miss the autumn harvest.

Farming in Xiaoxi Village is almost mechanized, with machines for rice cutting, drying and rice planting, and everyone is happy with these machines, and they can spare more time to do more things.

Otherwise, as before, it takes seventy or eighty people to cut a rice, and the whole family goes out, and sometimes no one can be found to help, a few cut the rice, a few feet on the rice cutter to thresh, and then put it in a bag and carry it home, and then put it on the road to dry slowly. If the heavenly bow is not beautiful, it rains for a week or intermittently for half a month, and these rice seeds may germinate, which is really miserable. The ancients said well, "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. "Forever.

On the cement road at the edge of the field, Lao Qi drove his broken truck and parked quietly there, and after the rice cutter finished cutting the rice, he would put the rice into the car, and then drive it to the warehouse to dry. "Oh, it's better for our village, you see that some villages are still cutting rice with a sickle, and they don't know when they will be cut." Lao Qi looked at the rice cutter and said with emotion.

"But no, I remember that when I was a child, I helped my family cut rice during the holidays, when the weather was cold, and the soles of my feet were cracked and lying on the rice, I was very emotional, and now it is much better than before." Shen Min also made do with it on the side.

"Why, I am so free, I haven't seen you for a few days, Shenmin has experienced a lot of vicissitudes, and he will remember the bittersweet memories." Le Lang walked over and said to Shen Min.

"Why did you come, if it's a little later, everyone will call it a day." Shen Min glanced at Le Lang and said.

"It's only eight o'clock, it's already early, okay?" Le Lang said.

"Eight o'clock, people come at six o'clock."

Listening to Shen Min's words, Le Lang hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, at six o'clock, it is estimated that he is still sleepwalking? But sometimes he woke up at about three o'clock, but fell asleep again, mainly by the sound of the roosters at home, those roosters don't know if they are too energetic, sometimes they even crow at three o'clock, so annoying that he is very annoying, he thinks about whether to give them some sleeping pills, so that they can sleep a little better.

The sky is blue, the white clouds are drifting, and in the field, a golden sea of rice, there seems to be a different kind of smell in the field, which is the fragrance of rice. The breeze caresses the sea of rice and rolls like an undulating wave.

Le Lang watched all this quietly, and thought with emotion, it's still good to be in my hometown, how can there be such a kind scenery in a foreign country.

He turned his head to look around, and found that in some of the fields next to him after cutting rice, a group of little children were fishing for frogs with bamboo poles, and some used a knife to cut a section of rice stalks to make a grass flute, and when they blew gently, a familiar sound suddenly sounded in their ears.

Le Lang was happy to see the hunting, and he also broke a rice stalk to make a grass flute and blew it, but he didn't do it well, and it tasted a little cracked, and he was laughed at by Lao Qi and Shenmin for a while. When the two saw Le Lang's appearance, they couldn't help but think of the scene when they were young, and they also learned from Le Lang to make a grass flute and blew it, I have to say that the hands-on ability of the two is much better than Le Lang, and the flute sound of eating is also beautiful and beautiful, so he can't help but recall all kinds of things.

When I was a child, Lelang and they were like a bunch of boys in front of them, holding a fishing rod to catch frogs in the ground, fishing frogs was just fun, and they were all put back after fishing, and some were taken back to feed chickens and ducks. Frog fishing is actually very simple, get a bamboo pole and tie a rope to tie a small insect, and when you see a frog, you will hold a bamboo pole and hang the small insect dangling in front of its eyes.

Frogs are short-sighted, they can't see things that are still and things that move can be seen clearly, and they can catch frogs 100% when fishing like this. In the past, Lelang liked to do this, and in addition to fishing for frogs, they also caught voles.

Voles are the scourge of the farmer, and they start to plague the crops when the rice is not harvested.

After the rice was cut, the four fields were clean, and a bunch of them ran to the field with bags, and as soon as they saw the vole hole, they surrounded it, and everyone stood in the direction to prevent the vole from running out and not being able to catch it.

There are three ways to catch voles, the first is water irrigation, but it is a little tired of carrying water; Second, smoking, this method is good, there is a lot of straw in the field, and it is very convenient to grab a handful; The third digging, but if this thing is not done well by the adults to see, you have to chase to your house to complain, because voles are made holes in the ridges, a large piece of digging, people have worked hard to get the ridges by you dug up, not to find your parents to complain.

Find the vole holes and plug the extra holes, leaving only one for it to breathe. People say, "The cunning rabbit has three holes," and this cunning vole also has three holes, and it can't be caught if it's not blocked. After plugging the hole, put the dry straw at the mouth of the hole and light it, and then put some wet grass on it, the smoke will be thick, and the smoke will be vigorously fanned into the hole, if there are rats in the hole, it will run out 100%, but also be careful, there are often snakes in the mouse hole, haven't you heard of a nest of snakes and rats?

The taste of voles is also good, meat, delicious, soup, stir-frying, frying, roasting are very delicious, and only voles can eat, because voles eat some rice and the like, and wild animals are similar, if it is the kind of rat generation in the city, please, I want to vomit when I see it.
