The sunset gradually faded, the cool evening breeze blew the hair of several people, and the gradually dimming sky made the entire Linjia Village a little silent, Jiang Yan asked Wang Jinhua to light the oil lamp, and under the glow of the lights, everyone's silhouette was clearer.

Jiang Yan looked at the few people sitting in front of her, and said with a smile: "I won't lose a hundred yuan at the base price, you don't have to worry about this, I naturally calculated the cost and labor to set the price, and this price is only for you." ”

Several people were even more grateful when they heard this, and they all knew that Aunt Jiang was here to let them have a livelihood of their own.

"Ming'er, let's take a few pieces to the town to sell first, and then buy a few acres of paddy fields after the autumn harvest, and then we will plant late rice." Lin Yousheng spoke.

"The soap business will be managed by the second child in the future, you can take as much as you go to the second child where to register and settle the bill, if the money is not enough now, you can take the soap first, and then give the money after it is sold."

When Lin Nan heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do, when I get the rotten leaves and soil to the warehouse for you, I will also go to the town to sell it, our family has too much soap now, we have to sell it as soon as possible." ”

The soap factory is divided into several steps, Jiang Yan divided the process of making soap into several steps, arranged the twelve workers in different positions, and the core alkaline water was boiled by the Lin family themselves, even if the people in the village ran each other's posts, there was no need to worry about the formula leaking.

In the next few days, Linjia Village entered a busy autumn harvest, and the village sent five people to help Jiang Yan cultivate seedlings.

Warehouse No. 1 and No. 2 were divided into soap factories, because the number of finished soap products was increasing day by day, and warehouse No. 3 also became a temporary storage warehouse, and the cultivation of seedlings could only be carried out in warehouse No. 4.

Even if the temperature of the warehouse is suitable and well controlled, but the cultivation of seedlings is at least twenty-five to thirty days, almost a month, so that the time will be very late, and it will not be able to catch up with the planting time of late rice, Jiang Yan has to buy a large amount of nutrient solution and acceleration solution at a high price in the mall, at least to reduce the time to about ten days, so that after the autumn harvest, it can be transplanted to the paddy field immediately.

The people who came to help were all good at planting crops in the village, and they knew better the number of seedlings needed, and the number of seedlings in a warehouse was not enough, so we reclaimed a few more plots of land in the village and cultivated some more seedlings, and in the past five days, new green shoots have begun to emerge.

When she saw the young shoots, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, in order to cultivate seedlings, she studied books related to the cultivation of late rice seedlings every day, and had to hide from a few children to read them at night, fortunately, she was now alone in a room, and she was not worried that she would be discovered by them behind closed doors, after all, she was only a rural widow who knew a few words now.

After a few busy days, the Lin family also entered the autumn harvest, today Lin Bei and Erbi private school rest, the two of them deliberately waited for the family to cut rice today, the family is five acres of land, the family work, and the harvest can be completed in two or three days.

Early in the morning, the two daughters-in-law got up early to make breakfast, boiled a pot of rice porridge, cut two plates of pickles, fried a large plate of green vegetables and eggs, and all kinds of braised meat that was marinated last night.

The morning breeze was refreshing, the sun had not yet had time to climb the mountain, and the fresh air carried a faint scent of rice.

Nowadays there are five sickles in the house, that is, five people cut the rice at the same time, and the rest of the people are responsible for carrying the rice to the threshing floor, and there is no machine in this era that can take the rice off the stem directly, let alone remove the husk of the rice.

There are a total of ten people in the Lin family, Jiang Yan and the eldest three sons, and Erbi, who has been shouting for the number one leader in rice cutting, a total of five people are responsible for cutting rice.

Lin Bei and his two sisters-in-law were responsible for transporting the rice to the threshing floor, because there was a carriage to carry it, and the horse was also replaced with a simple wooden cart made by Lin Dong, so they only needed to carry the rice to the carriage, and then drag the horse to the threshing floor to unload it.

Xiaodouzi is the youngest, not a laborer, but the little guy is very industrious, standing in the rice field, he can only see half a small brain, and he can't see it when he bends over, like a small bird, and from time to time he carries a handful of rice to the edge of the ridge, so that Lin Bei and them can get into the carriage.

Lin Feng also buried his head in carrying rice, and the beads of sweat the size of tired beans rolled down from his forehead and sank into his clothes, but he was still working hard like a little bee.

Although the autumn harvest is hard, for farmers, it is the happiest time in the whole year, even if they are tired, everyone is full of smiles.

After cutting for a while, Jiang Yan couldn't stand it, the original body had been cutting rice with a few sons before, but it was really shallow cutting, just come over and walk around and leave, it didn't take a few minutes to really work, she was too lazy to do it.

Jiang Yan is not very good at it, and she can't do it well, the whole person has to bend over and back all the time, holding the rice in her left hand, holding the sickle in her right hand, and she has to move forward slowly during the cutting process, it was okay at first, but after doing it for a while, the whole person was tired and sweating, his face was congested red, and the breath he exhaled was hot.

She turned her head to look at the three brothers of the Lin family lined up on the left, and the one who was doing it was called a good one, laughing while working, and also played a game of who was faster than whom, and then looked sideways at the two strokes on the right, the little guy was young, but the work was much more neat than her, the same piece of land, everyone had a route, and the little guy was already ahead of her.

Jiang Yan thought to herself that even if she couldn't do it again, she couldn't lose to a seven or eight-year-old kid, so she gritted her teeth and continued to do it.

The sun gradually rose, the whole field was hot, and when other people in the village passed by the Lin family's paddy field, they all praised Aunt Jiang for her diligence and work, and they actually went to work in the field, and looked at the carriage carrying rice back and forth with envy, only Jiang Yan was exhausted, her eyes were dizzy, and she felt that her hands and feet were not her own, especially the waist pole, and there were a few crunchy sounds when she stood upright.

At this time, when I went to see a few other people, everyone was obviously starting to get a little tired, especially Erbi, the little guy's ball head was messy and abnormal, mixed with grains and rice leaves, a small face was drenched in sweat, red and hot, and the hand holding the sickle was trembling slightly, obviously to the limit.

"Boss, let's take a rest first, drink some water first, Erbi, you come with me." Jiang Yan dropped the sickle, beckoned Xiaodouzi and Lin Feng, who were still diligently carrying rice back and forth in the field, walked to the ridge, and sat on it, the sight of the person shining in the hot sun was weak, and the soil on the ridge was also a little hot.
