"Dad, don't worry, I trampled on all of us.

Didn't it cool down just a few days ago? I went to the field before I went down the mountain, and the ground was frozen, and it was hard, and it would be fine. ”

Zhou Anhe smiled, his father actually cared about him.

"Well, that's good, the ground is frozen, not only against rats, but also against those thieves.

It's cold and snowy, even if they want to go up and steal it, they can't dig it. ”

The son is watching ginseng on the mountain, how can the old man not worry about it at home? It's just that it's not easy to show face.

Now that his son has returned safely, the old man is also relieved.

"It doesn't matter if it's planted next year, it's freezing the year after next, so you'd better find a helper.

I see that there have been a lot of blind rookies in the past two years, waiting for someone to help you find two good jobs. ”

The old man said with squinted eyes while loading the cigarette pouch.

The new planting and freezing that Mr. Zhou said are all terms in the industry.

Ginseng is planted in the ground in the autumn of the first year, and the second year is called new planting, the third year is called freezing, and the fourth year is called goods.

In other words, it takes exactly three full years from planting in the ground to harvesting ginseng.

No matter how long it takes, the nutrients in the field will not be supplied, and the people will rot.

As for the blind liuzi, he is talking about some people who came from Guanli.

These people do not have a hukou, so they are said to be blind migrants, and the locals call these people blind migrants.

As the eldest son of New China, the Northeast region developed very well when it first opened up, and it was easier to mix than those places in Guanli, so many people came from Guanli to Guanwai to make a living, which was also the last boom in Guandong.

After more than nine years, the economic decline in the Northeast will not be easy to mix, and these blind people who came to make a living outside the customs will all go back.

Blind people who come to Guanwai to earn a living, without a hukou or land, can only work for the locals.

In the past ten years, there has been a strange phenomenon in the Northeast, that is, many families have raised blind homeless people to work.

It is very cost-effective to manage food and housing, and you don't have to pay much salary all year round.

"Well, it would be best if we could find a few blind raffles.

Originally, Caiying said that she was going to go up, but there were still a few acres of land and a dozen or so sticks and mallets at home, and if we both went up the mountain, there would be no one to take care of Yanyan and Tiantian at home. ”

When I bought it to see the ginseng, I thought it was very good, Zhou Yanyan was admitted to the secondary school and went out to study, and Zhou Tiantian entrusted Mrs. Zhou to take care of it.

The two of them worked in the mountains for a few years, earned a sum of money and came back, and then planted a hundred and ten zhang ginseng a year, and then found a way to do some small business.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanyan was not admitted to the technical secondary school and went to high school, so her plan was a little disrupted.

The high school curriculum is tight, and there must be someone to take care of Zhou Yanyan.

Zhou Lili's head is usually okay, but when it comes to autumn and winter, she is very busy, and she definitely can't take care of it.

Although it is said that Zhou Yanyan can be entrusted to the Han family, it is not like saying for a long time.

Zhou Anhe and Han Caiying also pondered, they can still do it next year, and they will have to hire someone to help the year after tomorrow, if they can hire a blind rour, it will save a lot of trouble.

The two of them chatted like this, and the more they talked, the closer they became, and the unpleasantness of Zhou Yanyan's study was revealed like this, and no one mentioned it anymore.

On the other side, Xu's concubines also got together to talk and chat, Zhou Lili hugged her little nephew Yubao, and she didn't let go if she liked it.

"Sister-in-law, I was too busy a while ago to see you and my little nephew, don't blame me." Zhou Lili teased the child while explaining to Lin Fang.

Lin Fang laughed when he heard this, "Look at what you said, I didn't know you were busy?"

I heard Tiantian and the third aunt say, you contracted a processing plant with Junlin, and you can't wait to live in the factory this autumn, it's hard enough.

How's it going? Done with all the work in the factory? "Lin Fang is not an unreasonable person, Zhou Lili is so busy, how can she find fault?

"Well, this year's work is fast, and after the previous mallets are almost processed, there are some good whiskers left.

The ginseng seeds and leaks have also been processed, and they are just mixed with the red ginseng and bundled, and they were sent to the south a few days ago.

There is no stock in the processing plant, and there is a holiday for the past few days. Zhou Lili nodded.

Whiskers, talking about red ginseng whiskers.

This fresh ginseng has to go through various processes to make dry goods, and during the processing process, the ginseng whiskers can easily fall off.

In addition, the processing plant also has to process sugar sticks or light goods, etc., some of which have to be broken off, and some are steamed and semi-dried to cut off the ginseng.

The ginseng is also valuable, so naturally it should be dealt with well.

The red ginseng whiskers are straightened out one by one and tied up with white threads, and this process is called whisker shaping.

This whisker is also a knowledge, the outside to choose the best whisker foreskin, inside to clip the cut whiskers and bent whiskers, etc., the clip more people can see, the clip less is not cost-effective.

Ginseng plants are generally grown for three years, and the price is low directly after the planting is processed, so you have to treat the dried plants as ginseng, and bundle them up and sell them, so that they can be sold at a good price.

So don't underestimate this ginseng beard, it's not a person who is clever and neat, it's really not good.

In previous years, it was the workers in the processing plant who worked hard to brush their beards, but this year it is said that the market in the south is good, and Jiang Hanjun is in a hurry, so there are some people who do a good job and seize the time to grab it.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I forgot to give you the fabric I bought for my child."

Zhou Lili suddenly remembered that she had prepared a full moon gift for the child and forgot to take it out, so she hurriedly took out a few pieces of fabric from her backpack.

"This is all cotton thread material, it's very soft, sister-in-law keep it for Yubao to make some clothes."

Such a big baby grows fast, and the clothes will soon be smaller, so let's ask for one now, don't be wronged by our Yubao. ”

The fabrics taken out by Zhou Lili are very good, the cotton is soft and thick, the color is also good-looking, the sky blue, tender green base with broken flowers, very suitable for little boys to wear.

Lin Fang took a look, these several pieces of fabric, enough for Yu Bao to make three or four sets of clothes.

"Oh, why do you think you're spending this money?

This fabric is not cheap, why buy so much? Yubao is still young, so he can't always wear new clothes. ”

The concept of these years, the baby wears old clothes to feed.

In fact, this is also an excuse for fooling yourself when the living conditions are not good.

The conditions at home are not good, and the children grow up fast, who can always make new clothes? They all pick up their older brothers and sisters, or wear them from other older children.

Like Lin Fang gave birth to Yubao, Aunt Lin packed up some of the old clothes of several grandchildren in the family and washed them and sent them over.

The Zhou family not only disliked it, but also had to thank Aunt Lin for her thoughtfulness.

Zhou Lili is now brainwashed by Zhou Tiantian and disagrees with some old rules.

"Sister-in-law, I said it all, it's different now than before, now every family is allowed to have one, are you willing to grieve the child?

Just keep one or two pieces of old clothes, how can you pick up all the old ones and wear them?

You listen to me, the fabric is left for Yubao to make a few more sets of clothes, especially cotton pants or something, there must be two changes when you pee, right? ”

"Yes, then thank you eldest sister, or you are thoughtful."
