It wasn't until noon, when there were no outsiders at home, that Wang Manyin took out food and melons from the wattle basket.

"There's a melon seller right now?" Seeing her husband carrying a few large melons, the orchid only felt a sweet smell in her mouth.

"I went to the black market to buy it, and the price is not expensive, only a few cents a pound."

Afraid that her mother-in-law would feel distressed when she heard it, Wang Manyin didn't dare to tell the real price. This pound of melons is almost worth a pound of white noodles, and ordinary people are really reluctant to eat it.

After the orchid washes the large melon with water, Lisuo cuts it with a knife, and the orange melon pulp suddenly appears, and the fragrance becomes more and more intense.

"The few melons planted in our own field are estimated to be ripe in more than half a month. But what do people plant, it's really fragrant, and it smells different...... You can taste it too."

"I've already eaten it on the way, so you can eat it yourself. In the afternoon, I will send two to Shaoping and them, and these twist flowers, and send some ......."

With good things, Wang Manyin naturally did not forget his brother-in-law's family.

He said a word of advice and got up and went out.

On the way back, Wang Manyin just nibbled on two corn cobs and a big melon, and he didn't mean to be hungry at all. It's better to clean up the pigsty as soon as you have some free time. The wheat harvest is coming soon, and there may not be time for that time.

As a result, as soon as Wang Manyin went out with a shovel, he felt that something had fallen on his back coat, with a warmth.

He subconsciously reached out and wiped it, touching a piece of slimy things. When I looked at it again, I found that my fingers were dyed tan and smelled of stinking and roasting.

Inside the unknown object, there were still a few bits of dark red, which should be the seed of the tree.

Guano?!

Wang Manyin immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

I saw two magpies hovering overhead. Immediately after, another black mass fell from the sky.

Fortunately, Wang Manyin reacted in time and hurriedly dodged to the side, so he didn't hit again.

"Chirp, chirp......"

The attack failed, and the two magpies let out a scream.

I, Nima, Wang Manyin still don't know, they are taking revenge on themselves because of the cat's matter.

The magpie is not only fierce, but also very vindictive. In later generations, it can often be seen on the Internet that after they are provoked by humans, they will continue to launch various attacks, and pulling feces is one of them.

Wang Manyin didn't expect that he would also be tricked. I could only cry and laugh and go back to the house to change clothes. At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart, just two stupid birds, and did not see them in general.

Orchid was also surprised after listening to her husband's story. It was the first time she knew that magpies were so smart.

Wang Manyin originally thought that the two guys would attack once and it would be over.

As a result, he underestimated the magpie's vindictiveness.

Waiting for the orchid to cook, Wang Manyin just walked out of the cave with a big bowl of mixed noodles. As a result, another mass fell head-on and smashed directly on the ground in front of him.

It's just a little bit of a way to add flavor to the bowl.

Your uncle, is there any end? Wang Manyin was completely enraged.

He didn't want to meet the two stupid birds, but he didn't expect them to constantly challenge the limits of his patience. If you continue like this, you should always pay attention to the top of your head when you go out.

I'll give you a soak, who can stand it.

….

can't be provoked, Lao Tzu can't hide! Wang Manyin could only choose to be patient for the time being, and went into the house to eat with a rice bowl.

After hurriedly picking up two bowls of noodles, he immediately went out with a sickle, and dug more than a dozen soil holes in the yellow earth outside the pigsty, and set up live buckles on them.

This kind of live buckle mechanism is not only effective for pheasants and rock pigeons, but also theoretically against magpies.

He was busy pouting his buttocks when he heard Wang Qiusheng's shout from the other side of the deep ditch.

"Full of silver, don't eat ***, hurry up to the warehouse, our team is going to divide the food."

Wang Manyin stopped what he was doing, walked to the edge of the field in confusion and asked, "Divide the grain, is it really fake?"

I have just joined the production team for more than half a year

, I really don't know when the food will be distributed.

"This kind of thing can still be fake, didn't you just harvest lentils a few days ago, of course you have to divide it. Let people eat a few days in advance, otherwise they will have the strength to cut the wheat!"

That's right, if you want a horse to run fast, you need to have a good meal. The summer harvest has to work hard, how can the members do it if they don't eat enough.

The lentils were divided, and the village officially received new grain.

Whether you eat good or bad, at least you can fill your stomach.

Wang Manyin participated in the grain distribution for the first time, and he was a little excited when he thought about it. In the end, this is the result of your own hard work.

He had planned to go alone, but Orchid followed.

When the two of them arrived, dozens of people were already surrounded in front of the warehouse, and ten educated youths were also among them. What puzzled Wang Manyin was that he also saw Zhao Jianhai. Now I don't have a meeting, I don't know what the other party is doing.

But as soon as this guy appeared, most of them were fine.

When they saw him, they immediately called, "Hurry up and fill the silver, and I'll be waiting for you." I am not active in distributing food, and I have problems with my brain......

After a while, Wang Lianshun cleared his throat, and after a few brief words, he began to roll call.

Wang Manyin leaned next to Wang Yanqiang and whispered, "What is that white doing?"

"What else can we do, to prevent us from sharing more food." Wang Yanqiang pursed his lips and replied. There are regulations on the distribution of grain by the production team, and Zhao Jianhai must witness the whole process.

At present, it is common to adopt the method of combining labor and labor to divide the grain, that is, "people work seven times and take care of them, and eat an average amount in the morning and evening".

After receiving the grain, the production team must first hand over the public grain, and then deduct the rations of the workers' families, five-guarantee households, and needy households, so that they can eat the average.

The rest of the food can be distributed to the members according to the "seven labors and three labors". To put it simply, seventy percent of the grain is divided according to the head, and thirty percent is calculated according to the division of work.

In this way, the large number of children in the family naturally prevails.

Of course, if the household gets more food than it earns, it becomes an overspending household, and it needs to pay money to the production team to offset the grain payment.

How to say the way of distributing grain for seven labors and three people, it is very distinctive, and it is also a reason for many members to grind foreign workers. After all, "whether you do it or not, you have food", I worked hard, and in the end, I didn't have to pay 360 catties of food. And some children are still wetting the bed, which is also the standard of 366 (in some places the children are divided into 240 pounds), and they are replaced by those who have more labor and fewer children at home, and their hearts are naturally unbalanced.

Although the work is not enough, they have to pay money to buy food, but in general, the labor force of overspending households is small. It is difficult to eat salt in ordinary times, and where there is money to hand in, it will naturally lead to overspending every year.

….

After more than ten years of accumulation, some families can owe hundreds, or even thousands.

Of course, with the dissolution of the large collective, these arrears were gone, and they became completely confused.

But for Wang Manyin, it doesn't matter. With space in hand, you won't go hungry at all. Therefore, he will not have an opinion on how to distribute the grain in the village.

This time, the lentils are also divided according to the head, regardless of adults and children, ten catties per person. The same is true of Wang Manyin's family...... Orchid married a few years ago, and naturally obtained the qualification for grain distribution.

Everyone has divided it, and at the end of the warehouse there are still a lot of lentils left. According to Wang Lianshun, this is reserved for the production team to use as fodder.

However, Wang Manyin had already guessed how Wang Lianshun and them would make up for the reserve grain, that is, from the mouths of the animals.

According to the regulations, large animals such as cattle, donkeys and horses need four catties of feed a day. Feed less when you are free, feed more when you are busy, and feed for six months a year.

On average, an animal has to feed about 720 catties of feed.

The second team has five donkeys and four cows, which is 7,000 catties a year.

In addition, there are more than 20 sheep, which also need to be fed a small amount of feed. Especially before and after the ewes give birth, they should be fed more carefully.

With each meal deducted from the animal's mouth, the reserve was saved.

Anyway, these guys can't speak, and they can't raise objections to feeding more or less.

However, for the members of the second team, it can be regarded as a real new food.

Next

A few days later, families began to boil beans to eat.

As for the taste of lentils, they are certainly not as good as rice and white noodles, but no one cares.

***

"Coo, coo, coo, ......" accompanied by the cuckoo's call, the tense wheat harvest in Jar Village is finally about to begin.

In the original West County, the cuckoo is also called the yellow bird, and its call is interpreted by people as "counting the yellow and cutting, beating wheat and eating buns". Because the cuckoo always appears at the time of the summer harvest, the call is also given the meaning of a good harvest.

Before the opening of the sickle, the village specially held a mobilization meeting, and all members of the club must participate.

After reciting a slogan, Director Zhao's tone was still very strong: "The two production teams of our cans village should concentrate manpower and material resources to raid and grab the harvest, and the majority of members should carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, tiredness and heat, and strive to return the wheat grains to the warehouse as soon as possible...... Pay the grain early, pay the good food, and pay the more food......

Don't say it, this man talks a lot.

However, after a few incidents, many members of Jar Village have a new view of Director Zhao.

Especially the intellectuals, they took his words as a deaf ear and held a small meeting directly below.

Officer Zhao squinted a few times, but never opened his mouth to call out.

Even he has a headache for these educated youths, and he has no tricks at all.

Before dawn, the loudspeakers in the village began to scream, urging the members to go into the field to cut wheat. In the morning, the dew is heavy, and the wheat straw is tough and not easy to break.

When the sun is hot at noon, the wheat stalks are crisp and raw, and the ears of wheat will fall off as soon as they are touched, which will cause a great reduction in yield.

Therefore, before dawn, Wang Manchu urged everyone to hurry up to work.

In the next few days, breakfast and lunch will be brought to the fields by the families, and they will only be able to return home in the evening.

Wang Manyin didn't dare to delay, hurriedly washed his face and was about to go out, but was stopped by the orchid again.

"Man Yin, the salted eggs I left last night, as well as the white-flour steamed buns, you hurry up and eat them before leaving. ......I can't deliver it in the morning."

She pickled the egg more than a month ago, and was ready to give it to her man when she was going to harvest the wheat.

But there is no way to get to the field, so I can only pad my stomach at home.

Knowing that it was his mother-in-law's intention, Wang Manyin did not refuse.

He grabbed the egg and slammed it twice against the pot, peeling off the shell.

This egg should be produced in space, the yolk is just right, and it tastes rustling, which is very good.

However, Wang Manyin didn't have the time to taste it slowly at the moment, so he ate two salted eggs into his stomach, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

After eating, he rushed out the door.
