Chapter 418 Reduced Grain Production
Before she finished speaking, she had already reached out to take it, and Wu glanced at her, "We have just started planting, and we don't know if it is poisonous, or don't do it, and we can't afford to take this responsibility when the time comes." ”
When they planted at the beginning, there were people on the side, saying that the Lin family wanted money and wanted to go crazy, and they didn't know what to plant in the ground, and they were not afraid of being poisoned.
was directly scolded back, and the man was embarrassed to stretch out his hand again, and pouted, "What's there, I just haven't seen it, I don't want it yet." ”
Seeing this, others were embarrassed to mention it again, in fact, they also wanted to taste it, what kind of taste is this? It shouldn't be unpleasant to look at.
And this thing is too much to produce, right, looking at a small place, it has dug up so much, so down, how much do you have to get this piece of land home?
If this thing can really be eaten, it can be worth a lot of rations, and I can't complain that the Lin family doesn't care about the crops in the field, it turns out that the people have already planned in their hearts.
Everyone has to be convinced, no wonder people's lives are getting better and better, look, what you didn't expect people have already thought of, and they have confidence.
After a rain in May, it didn't rain again, and now it looks like it's about to enter July, and the fields are not dry, and the old cracks in the rice fields are already dry.
If this continues, this year's harvest will be over, and now it will be affected, and even if there are two heavy rains now, the rice in the field will not grow well.
The water in the ditch has also dried up, the Lin family's weir pond has also bottomed out, the fish have been sold to Cuixian Building, so many fish Cuixian Building will not be finished, the Lin family took it home and killed it, and the village family also sent two of them.
You can smear the salt and dry it yourself, but this year is a famine year, everything in the town is rising in price, firewood, rice, oil and salt are no exception, and you may lose money if you dry it yourself, so it is better to give it away directly, how to say that there is also a personal affection.
This year's year is not good, thinking that they raised a stubble of silkworms and then did not raise any more, afraid that they could not live, sheep did not raise, those few ewes have been matched, and they are about to give birth, so they have to pay attention.
The water in the well is already very deep, and the rope has to be made longer to get the water, and the children are now afraid to get their clothes dirty, so they have to wash, which is too water-intensive.
In the past, in the summer, I had to take a bath every other day, but this year I have extended the time, if it continues to be so dry, the water to drink will become a problem, where is the bath water? If it's dirty, it's dirty.
Although I still have the water to drink, I feel dry when I look at the sun outside, and it is really uncomfortable.
In the past years, everyone at this time was very happy, because the years have been good, threshing represents a bumper harvest, and their granaries are going to be filled, who is not happy?
But this year it was a different story, the rice in the field was much shorter than in previous years, and the ears of rice on it were all shriveled, and even if they were all sent home, there was not much left.
And this year's weather is particularly hot, cutting rice ears in the dry fields under the scorching sun, and the sun has sunburned people, and the villagers are complaining.
No matter what, you have to take back the crops in the field, this is the busiest thing at this time, it is worth it to be busy in previous years, because you can harvest things, this year is very aggrieved, how can you live this day?
Gu Pingyong was really worried, last year, their family sold a lot of grain for the New Year, so they thought that there would be no shortage of food after harvesting grain this year.
But this year, the situation has become like this, they can't collect much to go back, even if their family has few people, they will eat enough until next year.
Thinking that other people's families are not having a good time, although they have not sold food, but there is not as much land as theirs, and the grain they have collected is not much, just enough for their own family to eat, this year there is a drought, and it is not the same lack of food and clothing, so he feels much more comfortable when he thinks about it.
This year, everyone was not interested in the work, and they were silent, just collecting their own food and taking back their own affairs.
Because this year's rice ears are not full, it is not so convenient to use even the cover after drying, which increases the workload, but there is no way, so you can't do without it, right?
Other people's families just take care of threshing, and the Lin family has another thing, the corn of more than one acre planted at the earliest can also be broken, and this is also the first time to break corn, and the family doesn't know what's going on.
Thinking about it one by one, everyone will understand, a person carrying a basket and shuttling in the cornfield, this taste is really uncomfortable, more tiring than threshing.
The corn stalks grow very tall, and the leaves sweep around their faces when they walk in them, and there is hair on them, but fortunately they are all croppers who are used to working, and if they have not been in the ground much, they will not be able to stand it if they walk around in it.
The children usually go underground less, and after a day of drying, they have a lot of rashes on their bodies, Wu looked distressed to death, and quickly said, "I shouldn't let you go, look, what has become of this body, itchy or not?" Do you need to apply some ointment? ”
Mengzhu and Siqi followed them, just more than one acre of land, everyone worked together, and they were taken back in one day.
Siqi smiled, "Grandma, it's nothing, it'll be fine in a few days." ”
Wu said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, boil a pot of water at night and let the children take a bath, it's too uncomfortable." ”
Now the water at home is very expensive, and the adults don't take a bath anymore, Liu Shi still responded when she heard this, and the children were like this, and she was also distressed.
Lin Dezheng looked at the corn cobs in the barn in the backyard, was very happy, and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect this thing to produce so much, so I threw so many seeds down, planted them well, and produced so many cobs, how can I eat this?" ”
Siqi said with a smile, "Grandpa, after the sun is dried, we have to peel off all the corn kernels on it, and then use a stone mill to make it, we can eat it ourselves, and we can feed the livestock, which is very useful, and the corn cob in it can also be used as firewood." ”
Hearing like this, it is almost a treasure all over the body, Lin Dezheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, it is indeed a good thing, I listened to his son at the beginning, otherwise we would really lose to death, we really have to guard the rice in the field, and we will be hungry in the next year." ”
Now there are still seven or eight acres of corn at home, and so much has been harvested in more than one acre, and it is very difficult to recover them next.
Those were planted a little later, so they had to be harvested a little later, but they didn't have to wait long.
