Many members remembered that the land belonged to the junction of the two, and the first team also had more than one acre.

To say that the fields of the villages of Shibijie Commune are full of valleys and ravines, and almost all of them are in a state of fragmentation. It's rare to have hundreds or thousands of acres of land like the plains. It can have an area of thirty or forty acres, which is already relatively large.

The second team now has nearly 700 acres of land, divided into twenty or thirty places, and many plots and the first team are in a state of dogs.

These educated youths have been in Jar Village for less than a year, and although they usually work with the members and know the approximate location of each block, they do not know the boundaries of the two teams in detail.

So just like that, they were busy all night, and they cut back a team of millet in a daze.

Hearing Wang Manjun's cry of bitterness, everyone burst into laughter.

A few proud educated youths were very embarrassed.

It's okay now, I originally wanted to show my face on the commune radio, but now it's a ditch.

"Uncle Lian Shun, what do you say? If you can't receive the millet in the second team, even if it's yours, we have to distinguish it clearly. Wang Manjun asked unrelentingly.

More than one acre of millet is less than a hundred catties. If he doesn't mention it lightly, a team of members will definitely scold behind their backs.

"What should I do, the educated youth should be advanced, what does it matter to me," Wang Lianshun replied with a smile.

Now that the two pieces of millet are put together, there is really no way to distinguish yours from mine.

"Let's go, let's find Director Zhao to comment, he must take care of this matter." Wang Manjun saw that the problem could not be solved, so he could only poke up.

As for Zhao Jianhai, he had just written a draft of the advanced deeds of Jarzi Village, and was going to send it to the Shibi Festival later, so as to strive for the commune to broadcast and report.

As a result, I saw two captains come to the door together.

After listening to this, he was also dumbfounded.

It's obviously a good thing, why did you make this one again.

"Otherwise, wait for the second team to beat the millet out and weigh 100 catties for the first team and send it over." Zhao Jianhai scratched his head and said to the two captains.

He himself naturally hopes that the big things will be turned into small things, and the small things will be turned into small things, and it is best not to make a fuss that the eight villages in ten miles and eight villages know.

"Well, this year's drought. A team of that piece of land, millet is as thin as rabbit hair, and it can produce up to 50 catties. Before Wang Manjun could speak, Wang Lianshun had already shook his head again and again to refuse.

"What, you don't want to give a hundred catties, our land can produce at least one hundred and fifty catties." Wang Manjun was also annoyed.

"Huh, I can walk with my head down for one hundred and fifty pounds." Wang Lianshun pursed his lips and said, "Director Zhao, or I'll be fair." The second team has three acres and two cents of land, and according to what the Manchu army said, one acre of land will be deducted 150 catties. After we deduct three acres and two points of land, how much is left to the first team, what's the matter? ”

"What do you want, deduct a few hundred pounds, how can there be a ...... of our team's goods?"

The two captains kept shouting in the team headquarters, which soon attracted many onlookers.

At this time, Wang Manchu, who got the news, finally arrived.

After understanding what happened, he directly made the final decision: "Don't make any noise, the second team divides one acre and three points of millet land, and let the first team cut it." Just a few dozen catties of grain, what's there to be noisy about. The autumn harvest is so busy that with this effort, you can take the members to cut a few acres of land. ”

Hearing this, neither of them was silent.

In fact, Wang Lianshun also knew in his heart that the second team of more than one acre of millet would definitely not be able to occupy it. The reason why he was noisy was to embarrass Zhao Jianhai.

The matter was settled, and the two captains began to gather the members to assign tasks.

As Wang Manchu said, the autumn harvest is the big thing.

Millet has a characteristic of this crop, and the ripening time of different varieties can be half a month. In addition, even if the particles grow on the same plant, the ripening time is earlier or later. Therefore, it must be planned when harvesting, as early will cause reduced yields, and late will be easy to drop grains.

Therefore, in some villages, the millet is more fine, and only the members are allowed to use scissors or carving knives to collect the millet ears, so that it is not easy to drop the grain.

However, here in Wang Lianshun, it is easy to cut directly with a sickle.

In addition, the few acres of land that the educated youths have cut need to be reworked...... These guys are busy at night, and it's hell that they can cut the ears of millet clean.

He had already seen just now, and there were still a lot of millet ears in the ground, and at least two large bundles could be cut.

The autumn harvest is better than the wheat harvest, at least the weather is not so hot, and the time is not too tight.

The male laborers cut the millet and the female members carried the beans with them.

In the morning, dozens of laborers only cut two plots of land.

During this period, I encountered a lot of hares, but unfortunately now there are no earth dogs in the village, and people can only stare dryly. I chased it several times in a row, but I didn't even touch a rabbit hair.

When he went to work in the afternoon, Wang Lianshun specially asked people to bring rabbit nets.

This time it was better, and I finally caught a hare at the end of the day. Chop it, chop it, and chop it on the top half of the pot of pumpkin, barely enough for everyone to drink a bowl of rabbit pumpkin soup.

Seeing that it was not early, everyone put away their sickles and prepared to return to the village.

At this time, Wang Lianshun stopped and explained: "Don't leave yet, let's arrange the people who will guard the autumn vigil tonight." Arrange a shift, and each family has to have one person. ”

"Didn't Director Zhao arrange the vigil a long time ago and let the educated youths do it?" Wang Manyin said suspiciously.

Zhao Jianhai was afraid that the villagers would guard and steal from themselves, so he held a meeting more than half a month ago, and made it clear that the villagers were not allowed to participate in the autumn protection of the educated youth.

"Brother Wang, you use us as animals. I was busy for most of the night last night, and I didn't get a good word, but I was reprimanded by the captain of the team. Do you want us to keep a vigil tonight? Anyway, I'm not going, whoever wants to behave will go. Shang Zhimin bluntly refused.

"That's it, I don't do it, I have to get a good night's sleep." Xie Liansheng shook his head.

Looking at other educated youths, they also yawned.

Before, they guarded the autumn at night, so they could come back to sleep in the middle of the night. Last night, I was busy all night for a dumpling, and I was called to work again in the morning, even if I was beaten with iron, I couldn't stand it.

Although the vigil was an easy job and there was a share of work, they really didn't want to do it anymore.

Yes, Wang Manyin didn't say anything more this time.

"Let me first talk about the rules of our second team to protect the autumn this year, four people every night, everyone supervises each other. If you find someone stealing food from your home, you must report it to the team...... Whoever dares to think about it, I will fine two catties for stealing one catty, and I am not afraid to look at these days. Tonight, Yanqiang will take the lead and choose three people to come out first. ”

"Manyin, there are also tree peaks and autumn births...... Wang Yanqiang glanced around, and immediately spoke.

Hearing his name, Wang Manyin wanted to refuse at the first time.

When he saw Wang Yanqiang glaring at him, Wang Manyin had doubts in his heart, but he still nodded and agreed.

When everyone was separated at the entrance of the village, he pulled the other party and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Yanqiang, what are you choosing me for, do you know that I don't want to keep vigil?" ”

"You kid listen to me, it's a good errand," Wang Yanqiang squeezed his eyes as he spoke.

Good errand? Hearing this, Wang Manyin immediately had a guess in his heart...... It's nothing more than "take". No wonder when Wang Lianshun announced the re-establishment of the autumn protection team, some members had joy on their faces.

It seems that many people in the second team know this kind of thing. However, the predecessor did not join any production team last year, so I don't know much about it.

Of course, Wang Manyin is clear.

Knowing that people mean well...... He really didn't need to, though. There is a lot of food in the space to eat, why should I be greedy for those three walnuts and two dates.

If it's discovered, it's going to make a fuss.

With this kung fu, it is better to sleep with your mother-in-law in your arms at night.

However, he had no way to say these words to Wang Yanqiang, so he could only nod helplessly and agree.

Stealing the production team is not stealing, and now it has become an unspoken rule in the hearts of some members.

Of course, there are also some who have been found to have been criticized, and some even feel ashamed and commit suicide.

However, everyone still has a bottom line in their hearts, and they don't steal things from private land.

After all, everyone's life is hard.

In the article "I Am a Peasant", a great writer wrote: "There is almost no peasant who does not steal...... or put it on the body, or put it in a basket, and cover it with grass; Or break it off during the day and throw it on the ground, and come back at night to get ......"

By the time Wang Manyin arrived home, Orchid had already cooked the meal.

Salted eggs, black nests, scrambled pumpkin vegetables......

Wang Manyin worked for half a day and was hungry. I washed my hands casually and sat down at the kang table.

After coming here for nearly a year, Wang Manyin has become accustomed to the taste of black nests. With salted eggs in it, it is both nutritious and delicious.

By the way, he told his mother-in-law about his vigil, and explained that the other party locked the door at night and went to bed early, so he didn't have to wait for himself.

Not long after eating, Wang Yanqiang brought the others over. Each carried a small bundle of firewood on his shoulder, and a shovel and sickle in his hand.

"Uncle Yanqiang, isn't it cold this day, and you still have to bake the fire at night?" Wang Manyin asked puzzled.

"You'll find out later......"

Wang Yanqiang didn't explain much, and when he saw that the people were all together, he immediately began to assign patrol tasks: "In teams of two, Shufeng and Qiusheng guard the fields in the west, and Man Yin and I guard the south of the village." ”

When he arrived at the ground, Wang Yanqiang chose a safe location and lit the firewood he brought.

Then he broke a few ears of corn from the ground and said, "Full of silver, the vigil is long at night, and we must not go hungry." You beckoned to roast, I'll go to the ditch to cut some mugwort, and there will be more mosquitoes on my feet at night. ”

Eating a few corn cobs, Wang Manyin was already prepared in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart. He took a shovel and chopped a few branches to build a barbecue grill, and skewered corn and roasted it on top.

Soon, Wang Yanqiang returned with a lot of mugwort.

The two of them sat by the fire and kept roasting the corn, listening to the names of the autumn insects around them.

Roasting corn is also a technical job, and you must not be in a hurry, otherwise it is easy to roast half-baked.

Wang Manyin is eating roasted corn for the first time, which is very novel.

The mouth is burnt, chewed with a strong softness, and then full of fragrance, but it has a unique taste.

After the two corn cobs were gnawed, seeing that there was not much firewood, Wang Yanqiang picked up the sickle again and cut two bundles of grass and vines on the ground.

The fire was so big that the firewood didn't wet it, and soon the firewood was burning again.

As Wang Manyin thought, Wang Yanqiang had no intention of patrolling at all, just chatting around the fire.

Probably feeling that the foreshadowing was almost over, the other party considered it and said: "Man Yin, you weren't in the village before, you may not know...... In the current situation in our village, there is a shortage of food every year. If you don't want to find a way, the members will have to go hungry for months......"

Wang Yanqiang said a lot in the clouds, and he didn't get to the point for a long time.

Wang Manyin was a little impatient, and said bluntly: "Uncle Yanqiang, don't talk so much nonsense. I'm also a member of the second team, so you can do whatever you say...... Shall we break corn or cut sorghum? ”

Hearing this, Wang Yanqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Since your kid has a clear door, it's easy to say." Let's get some corn cobs by ourselves, not too many, just a dozen ears...... In addition, you can't take it back now, so find a hidden place to bury it first, and then take it home after the harvest is over. When the corn cob is broken and mixed with more soil, it is said that it was dug from a mouse hole, and ordinary people will not care. ”

"Hmm," Wang Manyin could only nod.

Since he is here tonight, he has already prepared in his heart.

This corn cob is also famous, and he has to break it.

The two of them left the fire and went into the cornfield without disturbing each other.

Wang Manyin symbolically broke two ears, and then walked towards the depths of the cliff ditch with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Walking two or three hundred meters away, he dodged into the space.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the owner, Rhubarb reacted immediately. The creature quickly sprang out of the nest and rushed straight to him, screaming all over him.

This guy has been in the space for more than half a month, and Wang Manyin delivers food every day, and his life is quite nourishing.

The peregrine falcon over there also spotted the human, and kept flashing its wings and screaming with joy. Now it was dark outside, and Wang Manyin had no way to take this guy out, so he could only walk up to him and comfort him.

After spending some time in the space, it felt like the time was almost up, and he returned to the outside.

***

For those who suffer, the autumn harvest is an endless task. The crops in the fields ripen in waves, step by step.

After harvesting the millet, the wheat is harvested.

The sorghum is red, the corn is also bearing heavy cobs, and the second team still has more than ten acres of rice...... In short, you can't have a day to spare.

The vehicle cannot enter the ground, and most of the time it needs to be carried by people.

Wang Manyin had a lot of strength, so he was naturally assigned the task of loading the car and following the car, and he didn't know how many times his clothes got wet for a long time.

As for Liu Xiangyang, he is a thunderous walk-behind tractor driver. This job is easy, and Wang Lianshun takes special care of him.

When the walk-behind tractor drove back, Wang Manyin followed slowly all the way to prevent the corn cob from falling halfway.

After walking for a few miles, he suddenly felt a little anxious, so he greeted Liu Xiangyang. Let the other party drive first, and find a cliff and go down by yourself.

With the help of artemisia grass, Wang Manyin quickly solved his personal problems. Before I could put on my pants, I heard a voice on the road: "Woo ......"

He hurriedly stretched out his head, and saw that the donkey cart driven by Wang Fuchang had stopped steadily.

The other party looked around, and suddenly walked towards the cliff ditch with a few corn cobs.

Wang Manyin originally wanted to get up to say hello, but at this moment he could only continue to hide his body in the curd. This situation makes it seem like I have done something, for fear of being discovered by the other party.

After experiencing autumn protection, he still didn't understand what Wang Fuchang wanted to do. It wasn't until Wang Manyin's legs were numb that he saw the other party return to the road.

When the donkey cart was far away, he leaned in to check closer.

In the place where Wang Fuchang was busy just now, there was a pothole the size of a basin, which was covered with a layer of fresh floating soil.

Wang Manyin shook his head helplessly, don't talk about the eldest brother, don't talk about the second brother, don't say anyone.
