Chapter 467: Autumn Harvest
The years passed silently, and more than ten days passed in a flash. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info\\。 qВ5、//
Zhang Taiping had just had dinner this night, and now the weather has cooled down, and the inside of the mountain is colder than the outside, so the time after dinner is no longer suitable for enjoying the shade outside, and the family is sitting in the house watching TV.
The phone rang, and the nearest one was Cai Yazhi, who picked it up easily, and hung up the phone after saying a few words with a smile.
Seeing Zhang Taiping's gaze, he said, "The little sister called, saying that she would come home tomorrow and Saturday." ”
Zhang Taiping wondered why he would come home tomorrow, but after a little thought, he understood. The corn is yellow, this time is the time to break the corn, Cai Xiaomei also calculated the time, and came back to help clean up the corn in the field.
Early the next morning, the whole family went into battle and walked towards the cornfield, the old man was also going to go over to help together, although the old man did not pay much attention to the trivial matters in the family, but he was very concerned about harvesting crops, which is probably a common characteristic of the older generation. Zhang Taiping persuaded the old man to go back.
As for cooking, I handed it over to Zhang Xiuxiu. Shen Qingfeng spent most of his time outside looking for and purchasing all kinds of medicinal materials, and only came back at night, and sometimes he didn't see anyone for a few days, so it was a bit of a waste of firewood when the two of them were cooking. Fortunately, Zhang Taiping also let them eat together these days, and by the way, this lunch was handed over to Zhang Xiuxiu, who was taking care of Xiao Yu'er at home. The wood red fish, which also couldn't go to the ground, was fighting on the side.
In fact, the inside of the corn field at this time is not a good place, not only is it hot, but the jagged edges on the corn leaves will make people's skin hurt. Zhang Taiping originally let Yaya stay at home to play, but the little girl was eager to go over to break corn with everyone.
In fact, there is another reason that at this time, all the children were called by their parents to help in the field, and even Tian Tian and Lu Feng broke the valley, and Yaya was alone at home and there was no one to play with, so she was determined to follow along.
Zhang Taiping did not forcibly stop it, and some things can only realize the hardships in them if they have experienced it personally.
Zhang Taiping pulled the car, and Fan Ming and Yaya sat on it with a smile.
"Ling'er will do it too." Zhang Taiping said to Ye Ling next to him.
"Nope. Master, pull it away. Ye Ling shook his head and refused.
Ye Ling didn't sit but someone else came uninvited, only to see Wukong jump into the car with one step, and squeeze into the gap left by Yaya and Fan Ming.
"You're lazy." Zhang Taiping scolded with a smile, and then pulled the car in the direction of the outside of the village.
The corn field in his house is not far from home, and it is still a gentle slope when he comes back, and I don't know how the two women pulled the corn back little by little in previous years.
Although Zhang Taiping's family did not get up late, it was not the earliest, and there were many people pulling cars on the road, and after leaving the village, you could see that some people had even begun to break in the ground.
Fan Ming said in surprise: "Why did these people get up so early? Now that the sun had just risen, they were already in the ground, and with the time it took to eat, wasn't it just over four o'clock and less than five o'clock when they got up? ”
Cai Yazhi shook her head with a smile and said: "People are like us, they probably don't eat breakfast, but it may be true that they get up at four or five o'clock, this is not strange during the busy farming period, I used to get up at four or five o'clock." ”
"It's not easy to be a farmer." Fan Ming sighed.
Xing Rushui glanced at her and said, "Do you still think that 'who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard' is just a poem?" ”
Zhang Taiping did not participate in the conversation with several women, but looked at the scenery in the early morning.
The dew on the low grass on the side of the road can also refract the crystal light under the sun that has just risen and is not dazzling, like pearls swaying slightly in the wind, which is very beautiful.
Some freshly withered leaves were scattered on the ground, and there were scattered leaves floating down from the sky, swaying and whirling in the morning breeze, like butterflies dancing, adding a bit of artistic conception.
Zhang Taiping stretched out his hand to flick off a dead leaf of a locust tree that fell on his shoulder, and he felt a little emotional in his heart.
A leaf knows autumn!
I have been living a leisurely life all day long, I have long forgotten the time, and before I know it, summer has passed, until I see the dead leaves flying in the sky before I suddenly wake up to the feeling that autumn has arrived.
Looking further down the hillside, you can already see clusters of dazzling yellow in the turquoise. Taking a deep breath, the faint scent of wild chrysanthemums in the air became clearer and clearer.
The golden autumn is sprinkled with fallen leaves, and the unique golden chrysanthemum is beautiful.
Zhang Taiping suddenly remembered these two poems. Autumn is the season of the peasants and the season of the poets.
Fan Ming also took a breath like Zhang Taiping, and then said in surprise: "How can there be an aroma in the air?" ”
Zhang Taiping pointed to the hillside not far away and said, "Look where." ”
All the women looked towards the place Zhang Taiping pointed to, and the clusters of gold that had just opened came into view.
"It's the chrysanthemums that are blooming." Fan Ming said happily: "Wait a while to collect some back, I heard that this can not only make tea, but also fill pillows, and has the effect of clearing the eyes." ”
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "If you have energy for a while, go pick it." ”
When they first entered the field, Yaya and Fan Ming still felt the novelty and worked very energetically, but after a while, they couldn't stand it on their hands and necks pulled by corn leaves.
With his eyes rolling, Fan Ming said to Zhang Taiping: "Big brother, Yaya and I went to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums!" After finishing speaking, he asked Ye Ling, "Ling'er, are you going?" ”
Ye Ling shook his head.
Two girls, one older and one younger, ran out of the cornfield as if they were running away. Zhang Taiping waved his hand at the lion behind him and asked it to follow, protecting the safety of the two.
Wukong didn't go with him, it was covered in hair, but it wasn't afraid of corn leaves, and it was very good at breaking grains, faster than anyone else.
It has long been said: Monkeys break bread and grain, and lose as much as they want. The original meaning is that greed is insatiable, and it is quick to lose it.
However, this is not the case in the cornfield, and Goku simply throws the broken corn in a pile. So it's the fastest of several people in terms of efficiency.
Cai Xiaomei came back at nine o'clock, and when she saw that there was no one in the house, she directly found the ground.
Seeing Wukong shuttling quickly in the cornfield, he was slightly surprised and said, "I didn't expect Wukong to be a good farmer!" ”
Goku got the praise and worked harder.
Near noon, most of it was broken, and a small part of it was due to the emptying. At this rate, more than three acres of corn will be packed up and taken home tonight.
When I went home at noon, I took a cart back.
Two girls, one older and one young, who were playing crazy on the hillside, came down the hill when they heard the shouting. Holding a basket of wild chrysanthemums in his hand, he kept escaping from his pocket and throwing it into his mouth.
"Dad, give you some dates." Yaya opened her hands and presented a few red and colorful wild dates in front of Zhang Taiping's eyes. Fan Ming also put some in each of the other people's hands.
Before Zhang Taiping could take the wild dates on the palm of Yaya's hand, he let the little hand that had been fluffy take one first.
Yaya immediately said unhappily: "This is not for you, it's for Dad!" ”
Wukong threw the red dates in his hand into his mouth regardless of it, chewed them twice, and spit out a date core.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "If it wants to eat, give it to it, you can give your father some from scratch." ”
"It's different." Yaya pouted, and carefully put the remaining few red dates in her palm into Zhang Taiping's hand.
"How is it different?" Zhang Taiping asked.
Yaya said seriously: "These dates are the reddest, of course I have to give them to my father." ”
Wukong took advantage of Zhang Taiping's conversation with Yaya, and wanted to pinch another one in Zhang Taiping's hand. No, this time, Zhang Taiping closed his palm and didn't let it get his wish.
Gently plucked a few blades of grass from the top of the girl's hair, her heart was full of warmth, although it was only a few dates, but it was the best gift her daughter left for herself, containing deep admiration.
Seeing Zhang Taiping put a few dates in his mouth, Yaya happily took out a small handful of dates from her pocket and handed them to Wukong and said, "Here you go." ”
After Wukong took it with both hands, he saw that it was not as red and bright as before, and some were even all green, so he screamed twice in dissatisfaction.
Yaya deliberately straightened her face and said, "Don't forget it, give it back to me!" ”
Goku quickly put his palm away and jumped away. This made the person next to him laugh again.
The laughter attracted Xiao Xi who was wandering around, and landed on Cai Yazhi's shoulder. looked at the wild dates handed over by Cai Yazhi, tilted her head and began to comb her feathers with disinterest.
Back home, Zhang Xiuxiu had already cooked the rice and cooked rice. It is to put it and rice together and cook it, which is the way most people in the countryside eat rice, which is not only simple to eat but also fast, and is most suitable for eating when the farm is busy.
The only drawback is that rice is not as hungry as pasta for northerners, so after eating two bowls of rice, Zhang Taiping ate two more pot helmets. Zhang Taiping is tall and big, and the energy consumption is fast, so the amount of food is naturally needless to say, it is the time to exert strength, and you need to eat a little more to support the physical output in the afternoon.
Others were accustomed to it, but it scared Zhang Xiuxiu. When Zhang Taiping was feasting, he used the largest old bowl in the family, and after eating two big old bowls, he also ate two pot helmets with big faces. It really made Zhang Xiuxiu a little dumbfounded.
She looked down at the bowl in her hand, compared it, and couldn't help but think that there was more than four of herself to eat, and she really couldn't afford it if it had been put in a few decades ago.
Zhang Taiping saw the woman's stammering appearance, shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying anything, and people who saw his kind of meal for the first time were inevitably surprised.
After everyone had lunch and rested for a while, they set off, this time Yaya and Fan Ming did not follow again, but there were three more old man Li and his wife and old man Tang. Usually, Zhang Taiping will send some food to the three of them, which is a lot of help. The three of them wanted to come over to help, and Zhang Taiping couldn't insist on refusing.
In the afternoon, Zhang Taiping did not break the bread grain together, but dug the bread grain pole in the back.
The autumn harvest is followed by the sowing of winter wheat. This year's corn has been yellow earlier than in previous years for nearly a week, and in previous years, it was only yellow during the National Day, but this year it was yellow in September 20 of the solar calendar. Therefore, it took a long time to sow winter wheat, so that this autumn harvest is not as anxious as before.
But Zhang Taiping still wanted to clean up the land as soon as possible, so he could only sow seeds after an autumn rain. One is that it is a few days faster than other families and easy to hire ploughing cattle during the peak sowing period, you must know that it is all mountainous here, modern machines can't get in, even tractors can't drive in, you can only use ploughing cattle to sow seeds, and then you have to queue up for planting; Another is that he wants to finish things early, saving him a long time from mopping the floor, which is not only troublesome, but also always wants people's hearts.
After everyone broke off all the corn from the pole and installed it, it was basically over, and the task of pulling back was Zhang Taiping's. Everyone else went back, leaving only Cai Yazhi and Xing Rushui with small heads to dig the pole, and Zhang Taiping began to pull back the corn that was packed with more than 200 bags.
It took nearly twenty times back and forth to pull all the corn back, and it happened that Cai Yazhi was like water, and the two of them also put all the corn stalks in the field.
When the three of them pulled the last cart and walked back, it was already full of stars.
Cai Yazhi walked on the road and said in disbelief: "Is it true that more than three acres of corn have been dug in one day?" ”
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Is there still a fake?" ”
"My little sister and I used to take four or five days to finish it."
"There are many people and there is great strength, you can calculate how many people have been dispatched today." Zhang Taiping said while slowly pulling the car. Although it was uphill and pulling the car, it was still effortless for him.
Cai Yazhi said with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of people, and the most important thing is that Wukong has helped a lot today." ”
"The monkey breaks the bread of grain, that's a good job." Zhang Taiping said.
After pulling it back, it fell into the courtyard, and most of the courtyard was occupied, piled up like a hill.
Cai Yazhi collected the bag and said, "Tomorrow, you will slowly pull the corn stalk alone, and I will help Lu Feng, she also has more than one acre of land, and it will take at least four days to clean it up alone." ”
Zhang Taiping nodded: "Go ahead, I'll be alone on the corn stalk." ”
Xing Rushui flicked a wisp of green silk in front of his face in the evening breeze and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow to help Lu Feng." ”
"No need, you can just rest, more than one acre of land is not a lot." Cai Yazhi refused, she was willing to help in the past, and if she let Xing Rushui go over to help, she would feel a little embarrassed.
Xing Rushui smiled and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do when you are idle." ”
If a large number of them are pressed together and are not breathable, the temperature at the bottom will be very high, and it will become moldy if it is daily. So peel it off and hang it on a tree or shelf as soon as possible.
After dinner, Zhang Taiping moved the TV to the door, turned on all the lights in the yard, and the whole family sat in the yard while watching TV and peeling buds. Talking and laughing, full of farmhouse flavor.
I believe that most of the families in the village are like this at this time.
