Chapter 314
At this time, it is early summer, the blue sky, the fiery June, is a harvest season, today's day is good, the sun is shining, standing on the ground and looking at a piece of golden wheat not far away, in addition to here, Dongzhuang is going to put five acres of paddy fields, planting rice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The wheat here is harvested once a year, sown from September to October, and matures from May to June of the following year, rice is harvested twice a year, early rice is generally sown from April to the end of May, harvested from July to August, and late rice is generally sown in June and harvested from September to October. When the wheat in the field is harvested, we have to rush to plant corn, sorghum, and sweet potatoes, which are almost all ripe from September to October. In addition, oilseed rape is planted in the fields and paddy fields in December.
The field is very busy, everyone bends down with a sickle to cut the wheat, the harvest is divided into two procedures, the first is to use the sickle to cut the ears of wheat from the top, and then cut the wheat stalks into piles of manure or take home as firewood, can also be kept for other purposes.
It is a bit troublesome to cut in two parts, but there is no harvester here, so you can only use manpower. After the ears of wheat are dried, they have to threh and husk them, and the one behind them is dried every year and pulled to Brother Yong's side, just give some processing fees.
"Yue'er, why did you come here, didn't you stay at home?"
"I didn't have anything to do at home, so I came in a panic. Big brother, this is the tea I just brought from home, let everyone take a break. ”
"Okay, the sun is so big here, you take these to the shade of the trees over there, and I'll call someone."
"Got it."
Put the water under the tree, and take out the bowl from the basket, pour the water one by one, and put it away, these tea are dried with chrysanthemums picked in the mountains, boiled and cooled, clear away heat and relieve heat, reduce swelling and brighten the eyes, and drink just right at this time.
"Yo, it's Yue'er who brought tea to our house, and it's all filled, bring a bowl to Brother Jishan, I'm just thirsty!"
"Brother Jishan, give it to you, if you finish drinking, I'll pour it for you!"
Zhang Jishan took the bowl and drank it dry in one go, and handed the bowl again, "Okay, Yue'er, pour me another bowl!" ”
"Okay, you all sit down, and I'll pour you water."
"Jiahang, I think the grain in this field this year is better than last year, I remember that last year it was 300 catties per acre, and today it should be 400, this kind of yield can only be planted on the good land of our village, and you can compare us with the crops that have been planted for decades."
As he spoke, he took out an ear of freshly cut wheat from his pocket and said, "You see, the wheat on it is full and has a lot of grains. ”
"Brother Wang Mang, don't say that, this kind of land work is not comparable to a few of us, these are all taught by the grandfather and the full master, they teach well, we learn well, and then the land is well raised, this day is good, and we have a good harvest when we bump into it!"
"That's right, I said Wang Mang, you see that this piece of land is not worse than the good land in the village, maybe it is even better! In the past few years, the old village chief and the man often run here every time they go to plant, and if they can't plant good crops, it will be a loss! Zhang Yongsheng interjected.
He and Jishan were greeted by the old village chief some time ago, if the grain here is planted well, everything will be pushed to the old village chief and Man Ziye, anyway, if you can't let Jiahang and them take a few of them, if this is spread outside, you can't let people find the door, and the days will not pass.
"Besides, everyone is watching how the land here is raised, and the other old village chiefs also told us, isn't your family also planted, and I think our harvest this year is not bad!"
"Yes, yes, yes, if you want to say this, I am also happy, my family's wheat planting in those fields this year is also good, but I regret not planting other fields like this!"
"That's your own business, if you want me to say that you are better, some people don't have a piece of land according to what the old village chief said, this time we see that the land grows so sour to death!" Tu Dali said proudly, fortunately, he listened to the words of Man Ziye and planted all the land in his family according to him, so although his family's land has been confiscated this year, it is not worse than that of Jiahang.
Anyway, no matter what he does now, he will follow what Master Man said, whether it works or not, he will ask, his old man is older than him, and he will be better than him in everything, and he can't let his family suffer again.
That year, he was in a hurry to move back from the Zhaishe, he didn't follow the words of the man, and decided to take care of Haisheng's side and didn't exhaust him to death, and his mother-in-law almost broke away with him.
It's also that he didn't act well, and if you think about it with your head, you will know that with the person of Man Ziye, he won't leave Haisheng alone, but he just didn't talk about it.
After that, the mother-in-law quarreled with the one of Haisheng's family again, he restrained the mother-in-law, and the two families also lived in peace, but that year just after the disaster, the food at home supported the in-laws, and the family only kept enough to survive until the harvest, and there was not much help.
But most of the grain of Haisheng's family was sold, Quan Shengbo opened his mouth to him, and he responded again, hiding from his mother-in-law to give a small half, he thought that he could almost get it if he ate in the province, but he didn't expect that there was too much rain that year, and the harvest in the first half of the year was only 30% of the previous year.
In those years, the monthly grain price was a few percent higher, and if there was silver, it might not be possible to buy grain, and the county government said that it was necessary to pay a grain tax, and if there was no grain, it would give silver according to the price of grain, so when the grain was given and the silver was replenished, there was only a little grain left at home that was not enough for the family to chew.
If you lack food, you have to buy it with silver, but you can build a house and pay taxes, and the silver is less than two taels and you can't buy much grain, so you can only borrow, this borrowing comes and goes, and the in-laws don't have it, he doesn't help to weigh the subsidy, just borrow it from other families in the village, but the families in the village are also difficult, and the situation is similar.
I didn't think that he couldn't borrow money here, but Haisheng's family actually had silver to lend out, which provoked his daughter-in-law, and the old grudge and the new grudge fired at that side, he didn't believe it before, but he believed it after confirming it. Haisheng's family did borrow, it should be said that Quan Shengbo borrowed, but the loan was charged ten percent interest, if he wanted to borrow, it was okay, at this price.
That time, he was really hit hard and helped people, but when he was in trouble, no one helped, not to mention that he hurt his daughter-in-law and children at home, and he also understood some things, and his daughter-in-law came back and made trouble with him, and then went back to her parents' house to reconcile with him.
Or he begged to come back, he was ruthless and broke off contact with Haisheng before asking to come back, and fortunately it was broken, otherwise his current life is not so good, just suffering Haisheng and Haidong, but he can only help secretly, he can't do more than others, Man Ziye has a saying, you can only help others if you take care of your own family first, and if you are strong, it will harm others, and not everyone can help.
