The crops in the field can be harvested, and the entire Linshui Village has entered the autumn harvest.

There is a lot of land in the Yang family, 5 acres of paddy field is planted with rice, 6 acres of wheat, corn, millet and 2 acres of millet are planted on dry land, and 8 acres of sandy land is planted with 3 acres of sweet potatoes, 3 acres of peanuts, and 2 acres of soybeans.

Therefore, during the autumn harvest, the whole family except for the Wu family has to go to the ground, including Yang Changfu, who is studying, after all, this grain is the ration for next year, and some can be sold, and everything is empty if the stomach is not full.

Xiao Yue felt that Mr. Yang did a very good job, when he used to read novels, people who read books often did not go to the ground, and as a result, he did not divide the grains and did not work hard. Yang Changfu went to the ground, but what he did was lighter work.

When harvesting rice, Mr. Yang and his three daughters-in-law cut, he tied it at the back, Yang Changgui and Yang Changfa picked it to the grain drying field, and worked hard for 5 days before all the rice was harvested and made into grains, put it in a sack and brought it back to the house, and when it was eaten in the future, it was good to take off the rice husk.

After that, the wheat was harvested, the wheat was cut first, the old man Yang and Yang Changfu bundled, Yang Changgui and Yang Changfa picked the wheat to the drying field, and the three daughters-in-law followed behind to pick up the ears of wheat falling in the field.

After the wheat is harvested, it is corn, and the corn field is not airy, and the whole person is like being in a steamer, and after a while, he will be sweating profusely, and the leaves of the corn are scraped on his face, and his hands are painful and itchy. After that, millet seeds, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans were collected one after another.

First of all, the crops should be cleaned up when the sun is good, and then the wheat stalks, corn stalks, etc., should be taken back to the house to make a fire.

Then clean up the field, clean up the ground, after the beginning of spring, turn the ground, but also plant a little cabbage, this is the whole winter vegetables, the winter in Linshui Village is cold and long, so the crops are ripe once a year, and all the work is done, before and after almost half a month, the autumn harvest is over.

After the autumn harvest, the weather gradually cooled, and there was no work in the fields. Families began to prepare firewood for the winter, pickled some radishes for rice in the winter, and people began to prepare for the winter of the cat.

Yang Changfa packed up his things and decided to enter the mountain again, seeing that the weather was going to snow soon, he took dry food and prepared to go for three days this time to see if he could get something valuable.

After he left, Xiao Yue thought that he was going to make him a padded jacket but no cotton, and it was going to be winter, and when he came back, he had to hurry to the town, otherwise he would be frozen, and Xiao Yue also wanted to see if there was any way to make money.

Sooner or later, this will have to be separated, and it is possible for the two of them to leave the house according to their status at home, so she must hurry up and save some money, otherwise it will be difficult to do it at that time, so she wants to go to the town with Yang Changfa.

The three days passed quickly, and at noon on the third day, Yang Changfa came back with 3 pheasants, 2 hares, a fox and a ferret. When he came back, his clothes were torn, his hair was scattered, and he was dirty, and Xiao Yue was very distressed.

boiled hot water and asked him to take a bath, she went to Wu's to ask for food for Yang Changfa to cook, Wu didn't say anything and took food to her, because Wu knew that the prey that Yang Changfa brought back could be sold for several taels of silver, and she wouldn't feel sorry for that bit of food for the sake of money.

After eating, Xiao Yue drove him to sleep, and he could only squint for a while when he was sleepy in such a dangerous place in the mountains, he must be extremely tired now.

Yang Changfa slept until the next morning, and after tidying up the prey, he was ready to go to the town, and the prey could not be sold for a good price after a long time. Xiao Yue had already told him that he was going to go together, so after eating, the two of them packed up and prepared to leave.

Wu was afraid that Xiao Yue was going to go with her, "Second brother, what are you going to do?" ”

"I went to the town to buy some cotton, Changfa only had a single coat and I wanted to make a padded jacket for him. I have my own dowry money, and I brought it. When Xiao Yue saw Wu, she knew that she was afraid of spending money by herself, so she simply told her directly that she had brought money.

Xiao Yue said this, Wu Shi is really bad, and then he won't let her go, "Or you buy more cotton and some cloth, then your father and I also want to make a cotton jacket." The third child can't be frozen when he reads, so you brothers and sisters-in-law should also add a padded jacket to him. ”

Xiao Yue silently rolled her eyes in her heart, this person is really going to get an inch, "Mother, I don't have that much money, after all, it's my dowry money, it's not good to spread the word, or I'll use that money to buy it for you after selling the prey." ”

Wu Shi heard her say this, his heart itched with anger, just use the money from selling the prey, the second family will also use the money, "Forget it, ours can still be used, and all the money from the sale of prey will be brought back." ”

The two agreed and went to the town, Linshui Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is no mountain side leading to the town, the road is still relatively flat, it takes half an hour to go to the town, usually the people in the village who have ox carts will pull people, 2 Wen Qian alone, today they came out late and the ox cart left, so they can only go to the town.

Yang Changfa looked at his daughter-in-law and said a little distressed: "Daughter-in-law, the ox cart is gone, tell me when you are tired on the road." ”

Xiao Yue didn't care and said, "It's okay, let's go!" By the way, my mother said that you should bring back all the money from the sale of prey, how can she know how much it is, so she won't shoot you for less. ”

Yang Changfa smiled and said: "Silly daughter-in-law, how much money these prey are counted, a pheasant is 23 taels, a hare is 30 taels, the fox is 5 taels, and the weasel is 3 taels, these are all recognized by everyone." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, "Ao, no wonder my mother is relieved that you are here to sell your prey alone." ”

"That's right, unless sometimes it's better to meet a rich person or prey, I'll give more. Of my 10 taels of silver, 5 taels were left over after selling the big worm, and the rest was left by others when they sold prey. ”

Xiao Yue thought to herself that this man was not so dead-eyed, "Oh, so that's the case." ”

When Xiao Yue was about to die of exhaustion, he finally arrived in the town, the town is called Qinghe Town, not small but not too big, teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, cloth villages, grain stores, grocery stores, etc., the people in the town still have a little money in their hands, and they are better dressed than in the village.

There is a street in the town that sells things to these people in the countryside, and everyone takes what they make here to sell. The back baskets, baskets, and household vegetables were all bits and pieces, and Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue stayed here for an hour or so before selling all the prey.

The two of them walked around this street to see what they needed, and they didn't buy anything after turning around the street, Xiao Yue saw what those people were selling, and she was thinking about what she could sell.

After watching it for a long time, Xiao Yue wanted to be able to send some bean sprouts to sell, and it would definitely sell well if there was no vegetable in winter, but now that the family is not divided, it will definitely be unclear at that time, so this matter can only be said after the separation.

I went to the cloth village to buy cotton, pulled 10 feet of black coarse cloth and 20 feet of white cotton cloth, and bought 5 feet of blue thick cotton cloth.

After buying these things, it cost her a tael of silver, and she was distressed to death, because she had to make cotton clothes and cotton shoes, and she was afraid that she would use cotton again, so she bought more cotton, and the two went home without anything else to buy.

When they got home, sure enough, the Wu family was waiting for them, and handed over all the money to the Wu family, and after the Wu family got the money, he immediately went back to his house to hide the money, and even ignored the two of them.

When Xiao Yue returned to the house, she saw a person lying on her stomach on the window of the third family's house, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the Lin family, and when she saw Xiao Yue, she saw herself Lin and left. Xiao Yue shook her head and went back to the house, she always felt that the third family was a smiling tiger, and the Li family looked very spicy, but he was a paper tiger and had no brains to hide his words, and the slightest provocation by others would blow up like a firecracker being ignited.

Lin is usually gentle and gentle, but he keeps making small movements in private, always hiding behind Wu's back, and he is still a person who can't look down on others, such a person Xiao Yue has no intention of making deep friends at all, who knows when she will stab you in the back.

Xiao Yue put the cloth and cotton she bought back in the old wardrobe first, and there was no life after the autumn harvest was over, but the three concubines took turns to cook and feed the pigs and chickens, and they had a lot of time to do needlework.
