More than 2,000 catties of fresh ginseng are all steamed, and then they are dried every day until they are completely dry.

The way people participate in the work is different, and the time of the finished product is also different.

Peeling the skin and drying it is the shortest time required for white ginseng, and it is basically dry for four or five days under the sun.

However, red ginseng is not good, because after steaming, red ginseng is sticky after starch and other ingredients are ripe, and it takes a long time to dry.

Generally speaking, when the sun is good, you have to bask for ten days and eight days.

Zhou Anhe's family has a big ginseng this year, and there are a lot of fresh weights, and if such a big ginseng wants to dry thoroughly, it will be more time-consuming, so Han Caiying watches the dried ginseng at home every day.

Zhou Anhe took advantage of the time to take back his own land.

Because they foresaw in advance that this autumn would be very busy, Zhou Anhe and others did not farm as much in the spring as in previous years, but only planted a little land in the Zhou family.

The Zhou family only has a total of five acres of land, and the autumn harvest is not a problem, Zhou Anhe took the time to take it back, and waited for the winter to slowly clean up.

Autumn is the busiest time, starting to make goods, collecting grain, planting ginseng and sowing seeds, and the busy months have passed.

The snow is falling and winter is coming, and people who have been busy for a year can finally rest and start the cat winter.

In winter, every family is idle and has nothing to do, so most families will choose this time to do the marriage of their children.

The Zhou family and the Jiang family have already discussed and planned to hold a wedding for Jiang Junlin and Zhou Lili this winter, but the specific wedding date has not been decided.

There are no more than two reasons, one is that Jiang Hanjun wants to go to the south to sell goods in winter.

He has the heart to train his son and wants to pave the way for his son, so he has taken Jiang Junlin with him for the past two years.

Jiang Junlin followed to the south, Zhou Lili guarded the finishing touches of the processing plant at home, and then went to the south with the last batch of goods.

This time to go to the south, it is not certain when to come back, it depends on how the goods are sold and how fast the shipment is.

The other is that most of the children in the family study outside.

Han Caiying and Cao's meaning, this is a big happy event for the two families, so they have to wait for these children who are studying outside to come back and have a good time together.

The two families discussed again and again, and finally decided to hold a wedding on January 15, 87.

This year is the New Year on January 28th, and the New Year is early, and the university holiday can be slightly earlier.

On January 15th, almost everyone who was studying outside could come back, and Jiang Hanjun and others would definitely be able to come back at that time, just after the wedding for the New Year.

Don't you say it all? The poor spend the New Year and the rich celebrate the New Year, and it is good to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year, so lively.

After the two families discussed the marriage date, they began to get busy, Jiang Junlin and Zhou Lili were not at home, and all the marriage matters were all due to Han Caiying and Cao's Zhang Luo.

Fortunately, the Jiang family followed the example of the Han family in the backyard two years ago, and this summer it was specially cleaned up and painted inside and out, and the furniture and everything were installed a while ago.

If the furniture is not made in advance, I am afraid that the style will not keep up with the fashion if it is made too early.

In recent years, the furniture for marriage has new tricks every year, and the old-fashioned kang cabinet or something is not popular anymore.

Now most of them are modular furniture, veneer wrapping corners, so Cao has never made furniture, until this summer to find a carpenter to make a full set of furniture for marriage.

The house was tidy up, the furniture was all newly installed, and the rest was just pots and pans, clothes, bedding, and so on.

Jiang Junlin and Zhou Lili have been engaged for many years, and the Cao family, who should have been prepared, has long been prepared, and they are really not too busy.

As for all kinds of household appliances, Jiang Hanjun has already said that he will not buy them locally.

Didn't he go to the south to sell goods? After all, the economy of Guangzhou is developed, the price of household appliances is not high, and the quality is much better than that of the north.

In this way, by the end of December, the preparations were basically the same, just waiting for Jiang Junlin and Zhou Lili to come back and get married.

"Mom, I'm done with the exam." Han Caiying had just folded the futon prepared for Zhou Lili and was about to put it away, so Zhou Tiantian entered the door with her schoolbag on her back.

"Oh my God, Mom, how many beds have you made for my eldest sister? Why so many futons? As soon as Zhou Tiantian entered the door, he saw the thick stack of bedding on the kang.

Okay, this cotton and cloth don't cost money, do you? Why do you still make so many futons?

"Mom, my eldest sister and Brother Junlin are just two people, why are you making so many bedding for them?

Even if they have children in the future, let them give birth to one now, and a family of three won't need so many bedding, right? ”

Zhou Tiantian took a closer look, what should be prepared is four beds and four covers, and two beds of kang quilts and two large blankets have also been prepared.

With Zhou Tiantian's understanding of the Cao family, how much is prepared here, how much is definitely prepared on that side.

The two families have prepared a total of eight shops and eight covers, and after her eldest sister and brother-in-law get married, they don't need so much to roll around on the kang, right?

Han Caiying raised her head and glared at her daughter, "You girl, you are so wide, wouldn't it be good to prepare more futon?" Otherwise, where will the guests stay at home?

Not to mention anything else, Yan Zhe, Jun Tao, and Jun Qi are estimated not to be able to start a family here in the future, and they must all be outside.

During the New Year's holidays, they lead their daughters-in-law and children home, and they can't even have a futon at this end, right? ”

"Marriage is such a rule, the mother's family will accompany as much as possible, and the girl will not be embarrassed when she goes out in the future.

Your sister has made a lot of money over the years, and most of it has been handed over to the family, and besides, our family's life is not so bad, of course I will accompany it.

Look at the bedding in our house, isn't there still the dowry when I married your father?

This thing doesn't eat grass, just put it in the cabinet, and it's convenient to take it out when you use it. ”

Han Caiying shook her head and smiled, don't look at the way that her daughter talks like an adult on weekdays, but she doesn't know much about the way to live after all.

"How many days off do you have after the exam? You still have to make up classes during the winter break, don't you? ”

It's the third year of junior high school, and the homework is tight, so I can't take the winter vacation after the exam as before, and I guess I have to make up classes during the vacation.

"Well, after the exam today, I will take a break and return to school on the 7th, just on the 22nd, and I will take a day off in between.

Coincidentally, it happened to be the day off on the 15th, and I didn't have to take an extra day off when my eldest sister got married. ”

The holiday course arrangement, the teacher has already sent to the students, the first fifteen days of make-up classes and one day off, in time for the holiday rest on the day of the new year.

Classes start on the 8th day of the new year, that is, on the 5th of February, and go until the 25th.

The course of the third year of junior high school basically ends officially during the holidays, and as soon as the school starts in the next year, it will be the general review and the final exam, and after three simulations, it will be time for the high school entrance examination.

"But I can't rest for that long, I have to go to the provincial capital in two days to compete, didn't I go to Fusong a few times ago to participate in the qualifiers?

The results are out, and then I have to go to the provincial capital to participate in the competition. Zhou Tiantian said a little depressed.
