Yangchang is a technical job, and there is a saying that "a line that will be raised, and an egg that will not be raised". Before raising the field, you should be optimistic about the wind direction and wind force, the wind is too strong, and even the wheat grains with wheat bran are blown away; The wind was too strong and the wheat grains and wheat bran fell together.
Generally, in the morning or evening, when the wind force is 2~3 and the wind direction is relatively stable, two people stand on the left and one right in the direction of the vertical wind direction to carry out the lifting operation.
The field should use a wooden shovel to pick up a mixture of wheat bran and wheat grains, and raise an arc in the direction of the wind, and when it reaches the sky, it is blown away by the wind, and the wheat bran is blown away, and the wheat grains fall.
In order to separate the wheat grains that fall on the ground from the wheat fish (wheat grains that have not been shelled), a person needs to cooperate with the person who raises the field, standing in the middle, holding a broom to sweep the wheat fish and the unscraped wheat bran outward.
The separated wheat fish is further dried and rolled to remove the wheat grains.
When the good wheat grains are piled up in the field, it is customary to estimate the yield, and try to estimate as much as possible, and taboo to estimate less.
The wheat grains are exposed to the scorching sun for more than three days before they can be put into pockets, and then put into storage, send public grain, and distribute to the members.
After the wheat is over, the wheat stubble is also shaved.
During this period, firewood was scarce, and the wheat stubble after cutting the wheat had to be scraped back as firewood. Under normal circumstances, after the wheat is harvested, it is either collectively planed and distributed to the members according to the pile, or it is divided into the households according to the ridges and planed by themselves. After the wheat stubble is finished, the team will sow the summer crop.
Summer sowing is not about broadcasting if you want to. If the business conditions of the wheat field are not good, it depends on the time arranged by Grandpa God.
During this period, there was very little watering, and most of it was dry land that depended on the weather for food. Therefore, there is also a saying of "drying wheat stubble for forty days". In other words, if it rains thoroughly (heavy rain) within 40 days after the wheat is harvested, there will be a harvest that year.
Of course, the sooner the better, spring for the day, summer for the time, a night late, catch up with the autumn!
In order to cope with Grandpa, the crop seeds that have been handed down from the old generation are still retained during the production team. For example, summer corn has "60 days to return home", that is, from sowing to harvesting, it is completed in 60 days. A bundle of small ears of corn that grow, and the kernels of corn are round, like small milk teeth. The yield is very low, and one mu is more than 100 catties. However, the quality is very good, whether it is cooking porridge or steaming wotou, a pot is lifted, and the house is full of fragrance.
Wheat stubble yam (sweet potato) is the earlier the better. In the countryside, there is a saying that "Fuli medicine, fooling around". The yam planted in Futian grows vines and does not grow potato pieces, and an empty tree is cut after autumn.
Yam is planted with seedlings, no matter drought or business conditions, it is necessary to carry water and nest, so that the seedlings are in close contact with the land and easy to survive. After the wheat is harvested, the production team leader arranges for the members to plant with flat shoulders of water.
The seedlings are cut from the spring stubble yam and do not need to be costed. Each production team has to plant some summer stubble yam every year. Not only can you compete with Grandpa God, but you can also solve some more rations for the members - the yam yield is high, and it is not handed over.
said far away, turn back to Tian Qingqing.
Because Tian Qingqing cooks at home, Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin both participated in the wheat cutting movement on the production team.
In order to reduce the shedding of wheat grains caused by dryness, people get up before dawn and go to the field, and breakfast is brought to the field by each family to eat. After eating, continue to dry until noon. After lunch, we took a break and continued the work in the field—threshing wheat. The busiest time is not until 10 p.m. to go home for dinner,
Breakfast was delivered by Tian Qingqing himself. She was afraid that Tian Youqiu would spill the rice and make her parents starving.
What Tian Qingqing didn't expect was that Tian Dongli was in a group with Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin. Tian Dalin is the "head sickle", and she and Hao Lanxin followed behind with a smile and a smile, putting the cut wheat on the "important son" that Tian Dalin had made, and the two of them took turns to bundle the children.
The wheat is cut in groups of three, so that the wheat cut in the hand can be put away in the bundles, and the wheat will be evenly packed and loaded into the cart.
When grouping, if the members of a family can form a group, such as husband and wife, father and son, siblings, etc., they are often in a group. Whoever is tired and cuts slowly, and the fast one will cut a few handfuls in the ridge, so that he can keep up with the team, so that he will not fall to the ground in half and his face will not look good.
If you can't make up a group, you can combine them freely. Under normal circumstances, when queuing next to each other, a natural group is formed. Or in other words, "let's be next to each other", a group is formed.
And once the natural group is formed, the wheat persists, and the middle is generally not reversed.
Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin both went to cut wheat, and when they lined up, they had to stand together and be divided into a group. As long as Tian Dongli followed the two of them, a natural group was formed.
Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin didn't know what happened last night, but Tian Dongli understood and knew who Tian Dayan stole from. She did this, nothing more than getting close to Hao Lanxintao, whitewashing that yesterday afternoon's theft had nothing to do with her family?!
Another possibility is that Tian Dongli wants to touch Tian Dalin's light. Tian Dalin is known for cutting wheat quickly, and generally people in a group take care of each other, not helping to mow in the ridges, and having to pick up the wheat at the end. Because whoever is in the end will bundle the wheat, and it is a bit unfair to just let one person tie the wheat, isn't it!
This made Tian Qingqing "admire" the "su zhì" of the best grandmother's family in her heart: it is needless to say that she is thick-skinned, and she is good at disguise and opportunism.
At this time, although Tian Dongli's lips were swollen, due to the force of the squeezing, there were still bruises on each of the cheeks. Tian Dongli explained to people that she fell last night.
Can a fall turn both faces purple? Joke!
Although people had questions, no one asked: Tian Dongli was notoriously bitter and mean on the team. If the best people are reasonable, then they can't be regarded as the best, right!
During the meal, people talked about the theft and recovery of Tian Dalin's house. Someone joked to Tian Dalin and said: "It must be that your things have magic power, and the thief can't stand it, so he secretly sent it back to you!" ”
Tian Dalin is not good at speaking in front of people, "hehe" smiled and said, "Who knows? Except for a few steamed buns missing, nothing else is missing. ”
Tian Qingqing peeked at Tian Dayan and Tian Dongli, who were sitting on the wheat and eating with their heads down, the faces of the brothers and sisters were red and white for a while, and no one spoke.
……………………………………………………
Sure enough, as Hao Lanxin expected, during the entire wheat season, no one from Tianjiazhuang came to buy fishing.
Fu Zhenhai also sent a message, saying that there was no fish in Wang Jun's canteen for the time being. The workers in the commune went to the countryside to collect wheat, and there were few people in the canteen to eat.
Tian Qingqing did not have the burden of fishing and delivering fish, so he only sent the eight fish ordered to the county agriculture and forestry workstation, sold them for twelve yuan and handed them to Hao Lanxin (sold by the strip, five cents a piece), and devoted himself to cooking and collecting wheat.
The production team is to finish one piece of wheat and then move on to the next field. When the plot was finished, there was only stubble left, so the children were allowed to go inside to pick up the ears of wheat.
During this period, the wheat holiday was a major holiday in rural primary schools. The school is full of students in grades 1 to 6, and is not counted as labor. With the exception of tall boys in the fifth and sixth grades, they are generally not allowed to participate in collective production work.
Once a year, the children go to the wheat field with small baskets or cloth bags to pick up the left ears of wheat in the wheat field.
The children, who were not in school, usually ran around the streets, were also persuaded by adults to follow their older brothers and sisters to join the wheat picking army.
Tian Youqiu, Tian Youchun, and Wen Xiaoxu also carried small baskets and went to the field. Their shadows were no longer visible on the streets.
It's just that Tian Qingqing will take care of the dinner.
Tian Qingqing did not let go of such an opportunity, and after completing the tasks of cooking and delivering food, he picked up the wheat.
Tian Qingqing's wheat picking is an individual action. She didn't dare to go with Tian Cuicui and Tian Weiwei, because she still had to take Tian Miaomiao with her. Everyone who is afraid of the impact can't go fast.
In the daytime, she didn't dare to put Tian Miaomiao in the space. There are people all over the field, and people know that the two sisters are inseparable - as long as there is Tian Qingqing, Tian Miaomiao must be nearby.
She didn't dare to hide into the space and pick it up under the shroud of the space. She had to make an appearance to show others, otherwise she would not be able to tell the extra wheat in her house.
During the day, Tian Qingqing took Tian Miaomiao and picked up ears of wheat near the edge of the village. Of course, you still have to use your abilities in small ways, but you don't dare to use them more, and you can pick up three or five times more than others.
Tian Qingqing picks wheat mainly at night. Under the shroud of space, accompanied by a black girl, she picked up everywhere in the field.
Oh, and when it comes to brunettes, here are two more verbose sentences:
On the second day after communicating with the black girl, that is, on the afternoon of the day when the wheat was cut, Tian Qingqing took the opportunity to send fish to the agriculture and forestry workstation to buy an iron chain for tethering the dog and a large iron peg to fix the iron chain, and then got the black girl out of the space and tied it to the courtyard.
And said hello to the black girl: take care of the family and the yard during the day, and accompany Tian Qingqing to pick up wheat in the space at night. When the microphone is over, it can use the evening time to look for its mother and siblings.
And to Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin, it was a stray dog she picked up on the way to the city. Considering that there is a thief at home, raise a dog to watch the house.
Tian Dalin praised Tian Qingqing's approach. Saying that there is a dog in the house, the thief does not dare to enter the yard in a clean day.
Although Hao Lanxin felt sorry for raising a dog and wasting food, her daughter had already brought the family here, so she had to agree.
But Tian Miaomiao was happy. One couldn't see it, so he ran over and hugged the black girl's neck, "dog" and "dog" and barked non-stop. Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin were puzzled: Could it be that this dog is related to this family, and as soon as he entered the door, even the youngest child dared to get close to it? ! RS
