Chapter 023: The Legend of Wu Shorty
Ten days of the beginning of autumn are all over the ground.
On the list, the water in the fields dries quickly, and the rice turns first. The production team has already organized members to start harvesting and threshing. Hong Yan took his younger siblings to observe for a while. Harvesting rice is really physical work, the bottom side of a threshing barrel is about 1.2 meters long, the upper opening side is about 1.5 meters long, 80 centimeters deep, and the weight of nearly 100 catties of thick wooden planks and old mud must be carried from the public housing warehouse to the rice field.
One threshing bucket is usually equipped with 6 people. Two cut the crop, and the four people took turns to hold the "straw handle" and beat it on the wooden frame. The tall stalk rice is too high, and in order to facilitate threshing, it is generally necessary to leave a foot of stubble. After the stubble was left in the field to dry, the members pulled out their backs and went home as firewood. Now threshing is all about the strength of the hands, even if there is no hand-cranked threshing machine, let alone the electric one, the combine harvester is what I have seen in books. Well, how can the big terraces put a combine harvester?
Beat a handful of grain, and you will get a bucket. As a result, threshing is laborious and inefficient. At the end of the day, poor people don't have the money to buy it. Hand threshing machine county agricultural machinery factory can still produce. Luopingba has fertile land and a rich life, and this kind of threshing machine is basically used there. Hong Yan estimated that the yield of rice is too low now, and one mu can harvest 500 catties per day.
After watching for an hour, Hong Yan was not interested, so he took Sanxiao home. Hongyan was reborn for more than a month. The wheat and rice that have been growing for the longest time in the fairy garden have matured. Compared with the outside world, nature is one in the sky and one in the ground. The wheat and rice in the fairy garden are full of grains, and the grains are large and long. At least 1,000 catties of rice can be harvested, and no less than 500 catties of wheat. Of course, this is also the reason for being limited to seeds.
At first, I was worried about how to thresh, but then Hong Yan tried to wrap the ears of rice with his divine sense, and his mind flew to the designated place. Fully ripe wheat rice, threshing is easy. A large area of land, completed in a dozen or so times. However, Hong Yan was also so tired that he almost collapsed. To his surprise, after recovering, he said that he found that his divine sense was a little stronger.
To be honest, Hong Yan really can't dry so much rice and wheat. But if you don't dry it, what if you can't dehydrate it in the fairy garden? It's a sorrow!
Fortunately, the small sun dam is not a road, the terrain is relatively high, and there are bamboo forests around, and people in the same yard are not visible if they don't come out of the house, and people outside won't notice. The production team is harvesting rice in full swing, and Hong Yan goes home to dry his own rice with his ancestors. The ancestor is very strange, where did Hong Yan's family get so many things, dozens of catties of mung beans, white green beans, peas, watermelons are eaten every day, pumpkins the size of rice sieves and winter melons the size of buckets are moved out, and rice and wheat are dried on the ground. Every day, I see my grandchildren and daughters-in-law coming home, and I don't carry or pick them. Steal? Joke. There are many varieties and huge quantities, and if there is a real theft, the whole world has known about it. The strangeness of the ancestor was all in her heart, she didn't ask, and no one told her, but Chang worked hard every day. If you can do it yourself, you don't let Hong Yan do it, but if you can't move, you will command Hong Yan.
Recently, because the ancestor followed his great-grandson to eat and drink, his health has also improved to a certain extent. In particular, the bottle of honey given by Hong Yan, she got up early every day and mixed it with a bowl of warm boiled water, which was really sweet to the heart. Of course, Hong Yan also sent it to his grandparents, and the number was about the same. Five-pound large jars of glass bottles. Glass bottles are not easy to obtain, and honey is a rare nourishing product. Hong Yan's house is directly filled with a big jar, and whoever wants to eat it can eat it with a soup spoon. Hong Yan sighed that "the tyranny of the heavens".
First dried 200 catties of rice out, threshing is heavy physical work, first of all, to eat enough. The autumn tiger is really powerful, and it will be dried and thoroughly dried in two days. This time, instead of milling rice, I picked it up and went to Takahashi, and spent a few dimes to make rice with hydraulic power.
On the first day of threshing grain, the task of grandma's drying field was not too heavy. When her parents came back in the evening, Li Yun didn't feel too tired, and Hong Jianguo shouted that his shoulders were sore and he fell his handle. Sitting around for dinner, Hong Xuecai took out the soaked medicinal wine and poured out a bowl, and drank it with Jianguo and Jianjun, father and son. Women and children have no share.
Soak in medicinal wine, ginseng and He Shou Wu are good things, why didn't you think of it?
"Come, come, Hong Yan, dad told you, guess which one I saw today?" Hong Jianguo beckoned to his son, who was drinking noodles.
"Do you still need it? Partition bench, audible. Do you really want me to guess? You met Tingting, Chu Chu or Jingjing......"
Everyone laughed, Hong Jianguo was very unwise about his own problem, and he actually let his son play tricks. "Stinky boy, kidding your dad! Lao Tzu is not looking at beautiful women. ”
Beautiful women are popular in a small range because of Rongrong.
"Beauty, it's nothing to look at, anyway, my mother is not around."
Hong Jianguo glanced at his wife who was giving Rong Rongsong noodles with a weak heart, as if there was really such a thing, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." ”
"Hehe, I didn't follow you, I don't know which one you saw. There are not a hundred people you see every day, and you are afraid that there are eighty. Let me guess, you're kidding me, right? ”
"Drink! Drink! Hong Jianguo picked up the wine bowl and changed the topic.
"Your father, I met Wu Shorty today. Their group only listened to Wu Dwarf Ribai (bragging), and only picked a handful of millet in the afternoon. Li Yun built a bridge for Hong Jianguo, but also revealed that they worked and grinded foreign workers.
"It's all old acquaintances, I haven't seen each other for several years, and I just have seen it for a long time!" Hong Jianguo said cheekily.
"Then the dwarf is back? I thought I wouldn't be able to come back. Hong Xuecai was the first to be curious.
"Which one is Wu Shorty? Where did he go? What was the experience? Of course, Hong Yan also had to mention his father's interest in setting up the dragon gate array.
"It's a long story......"
"Long story short! Just get to the point. ”
The second uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law all looked at Hong Yan and his son with a smile. The eldest nephew is not very old, and he speaks interestingly and has an adult tone. Sometimes, it's not something they can react to at all.
"Wu Shorty talks about seniority, Hong Yan, you have to call him a cousin, a few years older than me. His real name is Wu Guangzong, and when he heard the name, he knew that his family expected him. As a child, he was indeed smart, likable, and a good reader. However, as people get older, they gradually realize that there is a problem. Wu Guangzong is no longer tall, and has been staying at a little over a meter. The same is true after graduating from junior high school. Hong Jianguo introduced the basic situation of the Wu dwarf.
It turned out that he had dwarfism. Wu Guangzong has been known as Wu Xiaozi since then, and his real name has gradually been forgotten. After graduating from junior high school, his temperament changed drastically, and he ignored people for a long time. In fact, I'm afraid not many people can accept such an outcome. After the start of "Wen G", he ran up and down with the young generals. At that time, the youngsters rode for free. He mingled and was received at the Capital Square. After returning, his glorious journey was impressive. The villagers who have not gone out are envious, and they yearn for one day to go out and open their eyes.
After a few years of being stable at home, he actually moved his mind to travel around the country. So, with a huge head, a letter of introduction and a few dollars, he stepped on the train to various parts of the motherland. Because of his height, no one ever asked him for a ticket on the train. Others are more clever. Nonsense, how can you make reasonable use of the bugs in the ticketing mechanism if you are not smart. He helped the conductor clean the carriage on the train, and as a result, three meals a day were solved. When you are free, you will set up a dragon gate formation with passengers, and rush to the shell in the south and the north. inadvertently revealed his desire to travel around the country. Some passengers were overflowing with love and gave him food stamps and banknotes to help him fulfill his wishes.
He takes a little once in a while. One is afraid of being remembered, and the other is that people are not much better. In the past few years, the Northeast Frontier, the southern border, the eastern coast, and the western plateau, all the famous places that can be reached by train, have left his figure; Famous mountains and rivers, leaving his footprints. Hunger, sleeping, wind and sun, all kinds of hardships have been encountered. Sickness, floods, sandstorms, wolves, and car accidents never made him cower or stop.
He said he regretted that he did not go to Chengxiang Island and the Taiwan Strait. However, he also said that he would go again when he had the opportunity in the future. I haven't seen him for five years, and on the surface I look a lot older, but that heart is completely different. Cheerful and cheerful, open-minded and generous, he is no longer afraid of taboo calling him short. Son, Dad, I envy him! Hong Jianguo spent almost an hour talking, interspersed with a lot of interesting stories. The mother had already gone to bed with her three children. There are only aunts, sisters-in-law and a bunch of gentlemen left in the dam.
"I am envious, jealous and hateful!" Hung Rock Road.
If you go to Xiangdao and go to the Taiwan Strait, there will be opportunities in the future. Wu Xiaozi's travel around the country is a remarkable initiative. "Why didn't I think of that?" There is no money to spend, no money to buy things to improve the family's situation. Can't you go it alone?
"It's not difficult to travel around the country. In a few years, the opportunity will be there. Hong Yan said to his father.
"Hong Yan, what you said is true? Can I do it too? Uncle Jianyuan's eyes were very eager.
"Well, it's not impossible. After high school, admitted to university, everything is ok! ”
When the uncle heard that he was studying for the university, he was discouraged. He just couldn't sit still, so he dozed off when he read.
"What about us?" The sister-in-law asked. It is impossible for her to go to school anymore, and the primary school culture is skyrocketing.
"Find a good mother-in-law to marry far away." Hong Yan said with a smile.
"Climb! That's what your aunt! The second uncle nodded at his nephew.
"Hong Yan is the smartest. Knowing the major events in the world, he instructed Teacher Xiaofang to prepare for the college entrance examination. I have no hope in my life. I relied on you to help me realize my dream of traveling around the country. "Auntie said this beautifully.
"Go! Go! Go! Auntie is making a lot of fun. I have seen your face, and you are a blessed man. Traveling the country is just pediatric for you. "Actually, in the previous life, the aunt really married farther away, close to the West Sichuan Plain, and lived a wealthy life. Later, my brother-in-law did business and contracted projects, and my aunt really followed him to half the country.
"The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, you kid can still see your face?" Hong Jianguo would not believe his son's words.
"Faith is spiritual. Hee-hee! Hong Yan laughed.
This night, Hong Yan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Ask for collection clicks, ask for flowers and wine, all kinds of ask!
