Chapter 128: Autumn Harvest

In July, Yuanning's corn could be harvested, she invited a few people, went to the field to do a demonstration, and then supervised the work, and everyone sent all the harvested corn to their backyard, and a high mountain of corn was piled up in the yard.

Aunt Zhang and Sister-in-law Liu also have a task, they are responsible for peeling off the corn husks and then collecting the golden and brilliant corn together.

After half a day's work, all the corn cobs were broken and shipped back.

There were two and a half acres of land in total, and the corn stalks were also cut down, the ground was raked flat, the water was walked, and the ashes of the plants and trees were raised, and it was dark.

She has prepared high-quality wheat seeds, which she can plant tomorrow.

When she returned home and saw the high "corn mountain" and Ji Xiu crawling and playing on it, she couldn't help laughing.

Aunt Zhang had already cooked the meal and told her, "Since these things were brought home, there have been a lot of bugs in the house." ”

"That's for sure," Yuan Ning replied with a smile, "this thing is delicious, and the insects know it." ”

Next is the family picking corn husks at night.

The corn that was picked out was packed in sacks and sacks. In fact, it should be dried well, but Yuanning does not have a barnyard.

She also plans to borrow a threshing field from Su Heting.

Only then did I think of the three words "Su Heting", and someone knocked on the back door.

Aunt Zhang walked over with a stick and asked who it was through the door.

Su Heting's clear voice came from outside.

Aunt Zhang opened the door and said hello, Su Heting walked over, saw three piles of things that almost filled a yard, her eyes flickered a few times, and asked Yuan Ning: "This is the corn you harvested?" ”

"yes!" Yuan Ning peeled off a corn in his hand, threw the golden corn into the corn pile, threw the corn husk into the husk, got up and said, "You see, this is how it is classified, the corn husk can be used as firewood when it is dried, and it is excellent for ignition, and it can replace paper media."

"These corns need to be dried, then threshed, threshed and then dried, you can bag, screen the good ones, keep them as seeds, and the not very good ones can be ground and eaten, if you want to try it, you can come to my house."

Su Heting nodded and agreed, "Your yard is not big, I'm afraid it won't be able to open it." ”

"I've been thinking about this just now," Yuan Ning smiled, "I wonder if you have a suitable barn on hand?" These stripped corns are pulled out to dry and then threshed. ”

"Isn't it too much effort to threw like this?" The previous corn seeds were picked off by Su Heting, but the efficiency was too slow and tiring.

"I have a way!" Yuan Ning smiled brightly, "You just need to help transport these corns away and dry them first, and I'll arrange the rest of the things."

"In addition, I don't have enough people here, so it's hard to use the people in the shop, and now the autumn harvest has just begun, and it's not easy to hire short-term workers. The few people I hired weren't enough to make ......."

Su Heting waved his hand, "Leave this matter to me." How many people do you need, I'll send them to you. ”

"Six more will be almost," Yuan Ning had hired six short-term workers to take care of the fields, and there were enough for a total of twelve, and the corn would almost be all peeled and threshed in two days.

Yuan Ning clapped his hands, picked the corn whiskers on his body, pinched a meat worm, and gave it to the chickens in the cage.

In the afternoon, Aunt Zhang went to buy two and a half chickens and came back to help eat insects.

Su Heting looked at it and asked unconsciously, "You're not afraid of insects?" ”

"I was originally afraid," Yuan Ning couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this, "But we Ji Xiu are not afraid, how can I, the eldest sister, have a negative impact?" In fact, these insects have nothing to be afraid of, and they don't bite......

"Well, even if they can bite people, can't I fight them? At first, I was a little scared to pinch bugs by hand, but I got used to it.

"But you see, these caterpillars can't be pinched by hand, we all have small wooden sticks at hand, two small wooden sticks can be used as chopsticks, and we put the worms in the jar and feed the chickens.

"If our two chickens have been eating insects to grow up, then they will be slaughtered and eaten in the future, and they will definitely taste very good!"

Such a Yuan Ning seems to have light on his body.

She's a girl.

Ordinary girls love to be delicate, squeamish, timid, and crying, and if they can't be independent, they will be flustered and restless.

But she is strong, independent, capable, and has recently added a bold ......

Such a girl......

It's a fatal attraction!

He sighed lightly, he had always prided himself on being rational and calm, but he didn't know what was going on lately, and he felt uneasy when he didn't see this person for a day.

Isn't it, I'm just busy with what I'm doing, and I still look for it even though it's midnight.

Seeing her calm and confident appearance, I felt at peace.

Unconsciously, Su Heting's voice became extraordinarily gentle, "Then how did you solve the problem of threshing?" ”

Yuan Ning was in good spirits, and hooked his hand at him with a smile, "You come with me!" ”

In the studio, there is a four-candle holder, which can light four candles at a time to ensure that there is enough light.

Yuan Ning lit the candle and spread out a drawing on the workbench, "You see, this is the thresher I made, here is the handle, here is the place to put the corn, put the corn in from here, press it down with the next corn, turn the handle, and the corn will be threshed."

"Don't look at it as just a drawing now, in fact, I have asked blacksmiths and carpenters to do the components, as long as they are done and brought back, they can be assembled.

"But now there is not a lot of corn, so I can make a lot of them, so I made a total of four. If there is more corn planted in the coming year, it will be too late to do it temporarily. ”

Su Heting no longer has a sense of surprise, after all, there are too many surprises that this girl has brought to him, and until now, he feels that any incredible thing is born in her hands, it is a matter of course.

He smiled and bowed, "Okay, since it is for the benefit of the people of Tianqing County, you can calculate these expenses and hand them over to me, now I don't have the ability, I will settle it for you after a while." ”

"That's not necessary," Yuan Ning refused, "I told you before, I don't like to owe favors. Although you always said that you helped me to repay me for saving my life, we all know ......"

She shook her head and smiled faintly, "You're doing too much." Maybe it's because you think it's not easy for me to pull a few younger siblings with a girl, so you help.

"But in my opinion, helping is helping, so now it's not that you owe me a favor, but I owe you a favor, and I want to repay this favor. Must also return! ”

Su Heting was not very comfortable in his heart, because when he said this, it seemed that the two of them were too separated!
