Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Harvest

The days are moving forward rapidly under the condition that the two of them are mixing oil in honey, and it will be the autumn harvest of the year in a flash.

As soon as the autumn harvest arrived, Li Bokang's affairs became more and more busy.

As for herself, she is starting to get a little busy, and the first thing is to take care of the children.

An An is more than a year old, although he is an obedient child, but now he has just learned to walk, although he needs someone to help him when he walks unsteadily, but this does not hinder his enthusiasm for walking.

Every day after getting up and eating, he wants to walk around the yard or in his room.

In this case, there must be someone at home to accompany him, for fear that he will fall and stumble alone.

Speaking of which, she and Li Bokang's parenting policy for An An is not to be overly pampered, just like ordinary people, they are just ordinary people.

I heard Chunhua's sister-in-law say that when the children in their villages were so old, the adults in the family let the children crawl everywhere and walk by themselves.

And the adults in the family just pay attention to it, as long as there are no major problems, as for bumps and bumps, it is also common.

And she also knows that what Chunhua's sister-in-law said has some truth, but her own children feel distressed, not that others don't feel sorry for their own children, but she is still reluctant to put it here for her.

As long as she sees An An fall and bump into it, she will be very distressed, for fear that he will be injured, maybe this is the psychology of motherhood.

Therefore, she gave most of her time to An An every day, and the rest of the time she gave to the family and the fields they bought before.

Because the things in their fields were planted later than those of others, although they have received them in autumn and other people's families have begun to harvest, the things in their fields have not yet reached the time of harvest.

In fact, she was a little worried in her heart, they had been coming to Miyang for two or three years, and she also knew the weather in Miyang over the years.

Basically, during the autumn harvest every year, it rains several times, and if the harvest is not in time, it is likely to rain and dry up the fields.

And their family planted a little late this year, and I don't know if there will be good weather during the harvest, whether all the grain will be dry in the field, and whether this experiment will be successful.

This problem was always in their hearts when the autumn harvest saw that the things in their fields were not yet ripe, or the green was just a little yellow.

It's just that they also know that it's useless to worry, so when Li Bokang was busy with the affairs of the yamen later, the things in the fields could only make her worry more.

And she is indeed very attentive, in addition to the thoughts on An An, the rest of the thoughts are also placed on the ground.

Of course, this is also because there are few things at home, and there are books and inks at home to help her take care of them, so she doesn't have to worry too much at home.

Speaking of which, she doesn't have to worry too much about things in the field, they have hired someone to manage it before, even if it is a busy time for the autumn harvest, people go to the field every day to see.

But because the fields were really important to them, she would visit the fields every other day and ask the manager about the crops.

And every time she goes to the field, she will take An An with her, and then bring Chunyue with her, so that when she cares about things in the field, An An will also be taken care of.

By the time the other families had finished harvesting, they could not harvest any food, and it had already rained for two days during this period.

Fortunately, it didn't rain much and didn't cause much damage, but it still had some impact on those who could harvest but didn't have time to harvest it.

As for their families that are not yet mature, the impact is not very big, but she is still worried that it has begun to rain now, and she doesn't know what kind of weather it will be when they can harvest the things in their fields.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that God would take care of them and that it would not rain anymore.

I don't know if it was her prayers that worked or what, but later I learned that there was no more rain when their family harvested.

However, it began to rain on the third day of their harvest, and this time it rained intermittently for two or three days before stopping.

The days after that weren't very good, but it was still good, and it rained once in a while, but it wasn't for long.

After the harvest was over, Li Bokang organized another conscription this year, and this year the main thing was to build roads in various villages and towns.

This year's harvest in their fields is generally good, for example, the harvest of sweet potatoes is very good.

Although the taste may not be as good as the previous ones, they are larger than the previous ones, and the yield is higher than the previous ones.

Li Bokang has also been the magistrate of Miyang County for three years, and he has been to the township several times, so he still has a general understanding of the income of various villages and towns in Miyang.

Therefore, she can also know how much food those people produce every year, and compare the two, and she can also know whether their income this year is more or less than the local income before.

This time, the sweet potatoes they planted increased by one-fifth compared to the previous output of the people in Miyang, and this is the reason why they planted them late and the land, otherwise it might have risen a lot.

With the exception of sweet potatoes, the potatoes and corn they grow are relatively more productive than before, but not obviously.

As for the rice and wheat they planted, it may be due to the planting time, there is no increase, and the output is a little less than in the past.

She and Li Bokang can't say how disappointed they are, at least the output of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn has increased.

They didn't give up, and they will continue to plant in season next year, and try another year to see, but if it doesn't work, they will say otherwise.

Because of the harvest in this year's experiment, Li Bokang seemed very happy, and then he often said in front of her that he wanted to divide the sweet potatoes and potatoes and corn seeds.

She also has this thought, but she also has a lot of concerns in her heart.

Let's talk about corn, the manure method promoted by Li Bokang before took two years to slowly spread.

It's still so difficult for the sake of fertilizer, this corn is a matter of whether they can eat enough, and people who are willing to plant their seeds may not have it.

Moreover, this is only the first year of their experiment, and they don't know if it is a coincidence or a real fit for the environment here.

Also, although the corn harvest is a little more than usual, it is not much more, and it is not obvious, so others may not believe it.

In contrast, she was still worried.

After talking about corn, let's talk about potatoes and sweet potatoes.

These cannot be eaten as a meal, and may be eaten for several days in a row at first, but it is still not possible to eat them for a long time.

Potatoes are fine, sweet potatoes are not good, sweet potatoes eat too much heartburn will also flatulence, if you eat it all the time, it is not good for the body, and people are not comfortable.

So, that's another question.

Overall, she still feels that it takes time, and now is not the time.
