Chapter 15 Man pulls the plow
Xi'er squeezed in and squatted and studied for a while, but still didn't figure it out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In my previous life, I raised flowers and grass on the balcony at home, and when my grandfather was there, I would plant some shallots or something.
Since Grandpa is gone, the balcony has been left unattended, and all the flowers and plants have died.
When I was in elementary school, the teacher taught Xi'er: Don't be ashamed to ask!
It is definitely useless to ask the grandfather, you can only ask the seller.
"Grandma, what kind of seeds are these?"
"Spinach, coriander seeds." The old grandmother's native accent was very strong, and it wasn't until her grandfather translated that Xi'er understood.
In the end, it must be in the bag, and Old Man Tian wanted to stop talking.
My granddaughter is similar to myself, she is a person who can't tell the difference between leeks and wheat, what's the use of buying these seeds?
And the money to buy these seeds can buy a lot of greens.
When Xi'er paid for it, she was also heartbroken, but she had to think long-term!
Just these two handfuls of seeds, spent eight cents, and my heart is dripping blood!
Be careful, wrap layer after layer, not a single grain is missing!
Later, I bought a few pieces of tofu, a small half catty of plate oil, and there was not much money left in my hand.
On the way back, Xi'er snickered, she knew that her grandfather had always wanted to ask, but she never waited for him to speak.
"Grandpa is curious, why do I buy seeds?"
Old Man Tian saw Xi'er speak by herself, and nodded hurriedly.
"Do you know how to grow vegetables? Isn't this the work that can be planted in the spring and winter? ”
"Grandpa, we don't have any food at home. That grandma can grow a living, and your granddaughter is so smart, surely she can too. Xi'er jumped in front, but the words she said made the old man smile bitterly.
She was an old farmer who had been farming for decades, and her experience was not smart enough to deal with, but she couldn't bear to hit her.
First, I promised to let her take care of the house, and I bought all the seeds, and I couldn't return them.
"Okay, grandpa believes that our Xi'er will definitely be able to, and grandpa will help you turn the ground when you go back!"
"Grandpa is the best, when Xi'er grows vegetables, I can let my parents and younger brother eat the vegetables I grow." Xi'er shook her grandfather's sleeve, and her delicate face was dotted with two stars.
Her granddaughter is warm-hearted, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she pokes her tears, and her heart is a soft mess.
Xi'er is actually quite broken in her heart, an eight-year-old child, if she wants to achieve her goal, she really can't think of any other way than to be coquettish.
Fortunately, grandpa really loves him, otherwise how dare he implement the plan so blatantly.
Fortunately, I went into the space to eat something before running in the morning, where can I manage a bowl of mush in the morning for so long, Xi'er touched the empty stomach.
"Xi'er is hungry, right? Let's take two quick steps, and we will have delicious food when we get home. Old Man Tian tugged at his little ears in distress.
The two people in the family can't cook, and it is estimated that they will still have a cold pot and a cold stove when they go back.
But the hungrier the stomach, the heavier the pace, and in the end, the old man dragged it to get home!
Seeing the precarious cowshed from a distance on the earthen dam, Xi'er found that there was a sense of belonging in her heart, and although the feeling was not strong, it was still captured.
What is even more surprising is that a chimney has been erected on the roof, and a trace of fireworks lingers on the eaves.
"Grandpa, Uncle Zhang has finished the chimney!" Xi'er was very pleasantly surprised.
"Well, your Uncle Zhang learns things very quickly, and when he helped others repair their houses in the past two days, he also prepared some soil behind our house." Old Man Tian found that Xi'er's eyes were narrowed into two crescents when she smiled.
It turns out that the idiom of returning to the heart like an arrow came out like this.
"We're back!" As soon as Xi'er entered the house, she startled the two fathers and sons squatting in the stove room.
Ahem, cough, cough~~
No wonder the chimney outside was smoking, looking at the smoked crystal eyes on the faces of the two big flowers, the grandfather and grandson laughed so hard that their stomachs fell.
Originally, I wanted to experiment whether the chimney was feasible or not, but the fire under the stove was always half-dead, and the father and son soldiers could not get it.
Xi'er saw that the stove was stuffed to the brim, where could it be burned?
Therefore, knowledge and practice must be combined.
How does Zhang Qing's formula crackle, if you don't buy it, you really don't buy it!
Seeing that Xi'er was done in three or two clicks, the two fathers and sons finally breathed a long sigh of relief......
Today's meal is very rich, take the oil residue after boiling the plate oil to make a cake, burn a piece of tofu, and everyone eats a meal with round stomachs.
The other few pieces of tofu were packed up in a box by Xi'er to prepare a little stinky tofu.
There are no small dishes at home, even pickle gnocchi still have to be bought, if you don't prepare in advance, what to eat in winter?
After eating, Zhang Yi was called by Xi'er to open the vegetable field, and Old Man Tian helped Zhang Qingping the foundation.
In a flash, it was the day of the autumn harvest, and the old man Tian took the time to go to Yan Temple again and brought back the sickle, hoe and other farm tools.
The sky was bright, and the bell for the production team to gather rang.
The autumn harvest is a major event of the year for farmers, regardless of men, women and children, they have to go to the fields.
The autumn harvest and autumn sowing before the frost fall are also the busiest and most tiring times in the Huaibei countryside.
On the one hand, it is necessary to harvest the crops in the field, dry them and preserve them; The land was to be re-cultivated and the dung that had accumulated for half a year should be sprinkled into the ground.
Xi'er saw that everyone was waiting for the wheat field!
Although the next few days will be very hard, the thought of new food to eat soon makes everyone full of energy.
Even the naughtiest boys tied up their trousers, put on sleeves, and followed behind to hug the wheat.
On the edge of the wheat field stood the four educated youths, dressed out of place with the surrounding members.
In order to work in the field, everyone picks the most worn and dirt-resistant clothes at home, which are basically patches and patches, and the trouser legs are also tied with ropes.
When the wheat is pierced into the skin, it will soon become red and itchy, and not only the trouser legs, sleeves and neck are also wrapped around the towel.
It is estimated that the skin will be scratched after the entire autumn harvest.
The four of them, dressed cleanly, looked like they were going to the market.
Gao Manzi is still standing on the mound, but he doesn't talk much today, and it is urgent to grab the autumn harvest, and he will quickly divide the group.
The women are responsible for cutting the wheat, the children are carrying the heaps, and the men are responsible for carrying the wheat in bundles to the threshing field, laying up the stacks of wheat, and threshing the wheat when the weather is good.
In the end, there were still four educated youths left, and Gao Manzi frowned and divided them all into the women's group.
However, before going to the wheat field, they were told to go home and change their clothes quickly, otherwise they would not be able to waste it.
The reason why the autumn harvest is tiring is because you have to plow the wheat and plant it in the autumn while harvesting the wheat.
There are only seven or eight cattle in the production team, and the dry land in Huaibei is hard, and only by seeing it with your own eyes can you appreciate the hard work of the farmers.
It takes three oxen to pull a two-wheeled double-plough plough, and there is no time to plough so much land.
However, the timing of planting wheat in the field in autumn is regular.
Seeds that are sown a day or two earlier and a day or two later will grow differently the next year.
In the eyes of the peasants, this is a very serious matter.
Therefore, livestock ploughing cannot be stopped! When you are tired, you can only rest at the mouth of the wheel.
In addition to the livestock, it is also necessary to form a team of people pulling ploughs!

The cat squatted in the corner of the wall to draw circles, and the book could have been changed to a signature yesterday, but the cat in Madaha actually missed a place with a signature, and could only be forced to express another copy! Continue to wipe your tears ~~~
