Chapter 37: The School Flower's Pocket Sister (36)
The results of the child laborers were immediate.
The most serious group at work, You Yu will reward the babies with two tomatoes per person every day.
The three groups immediately rolled up, and while they were serious, they kept an eye on the other groups to make mistakes......
After July, it is August, and this year is the beginning of autumn on August 7th.
The agricultural proverb of Jiang County: Ten days after the autumn are full of yellow.
The paddy fields have been drained, and in half a month they will be able to ask a combine harvester to help with the harvest.
In addition to rice, there are several acres of peanuts waiting for You Yu to pull.
"Milk, call your friends to work, our old rule, twenty yuan a day!"
After making money, Boss You arrogantly said that he would never want to engage in this kind of manual work again.
"Hire someone for everything, except for seeds and wages, there is a shovel left!" The old man knocked on his cigarette holder, and he couldn't get used to seeing his granddaughter doing some work.
"As long as you agree to hire someone, I will be responsible for helping you sell the wet peanuts at a high price!"
Her father's life, You Yu has already mastered it: "I'll settle an account for you!"
There are five acres of sandy land planted by our family, one acre is half an acre, and there can be about 400 catties of wet peanuts with mud.
Planed out - transported to home - picked off - washed - dried for a few days.
In addition to the bad and not full of rice, there can be a 250 pounds.
Shelled dried peanuts can be sold for 1,250 yuan per catty.
We all have to do this work for more than two weeks without our feet touching the ground!
If you invite someone, 8 people will plane for half a day, 8 people will pick for a day and a half, and it will be completed in two days! The salary is only 320 yuan!
I sold the wet peanuts with mud to the Jiangxian Hotel at a high price of 8 dimes per catty.
2,000 pounds of mud peanuts can get 1,600 yuan, and there are 1,280 yuan left after removing wages!
On the one hand, you are tired and tired to earn 1250 yuan, and on the other hand, you can easily enter the account 1280 yuan, which is equivalent to whether you can pick it up? ”
crackled and calculated the accounts for the old man, and saw the starry eyes of Grandma You and the chubby child next to him.
Grandpa You touched it for a long time, and invited someone together, he could earn an extra thirty yuan!
The old crop smoked his leaf cigarette and became melancholy in the clouds: growing rapeseed, wheat, peanuts, and millet is really fucking unprofitable!
There is no harm if there is no comparison, the same sandy land is interplanted with two kinds, and the growth cycle and economic benefits are compared, which is heart-wrenching.
That's it, what to plant in the future, how to plant more listen to the young people, the eldest nephew of the in-laws is right, their concepts are outdated.
After getting the old man, the eight old ladies went out again.
In fact, it doesn't take much effort to cut peanuts in the sand, as long as you grasp the roots of the peanut vines and pull them hard.
More than 99% of peanuts can be carried out of the sand.
Peanuts buried deep in the sand soil are the welfare of children in the village who do not grow peanuts.
Even the vine was pulled, gently shaken off the sand, and then neatly stacked.
Grandpa You pedaled a tricycle (You Yu newly bought) and transported it to his home.
Hiring someone to help needs to take care of the food, You Yu is responsible for going into the city to cut meat and buy vegetables, and Grandma You is responsible for cooking.
The little ones who were not on duty were all seconded by You Yu and asked them to help pick peanuts.
Double overtime pay!
Compared to being called by the family to do this work at home, and picking peanuts with overtime pay, they work hard.
In the words of the old man, it is a lazy field worker!
The crowd worked until eight o'clock in the evening for two days in a row before they finished picking the peanuts the next night.
With a smile on his face, he earned the money at his doorstep, and both the employer and the employer were satisfied.
The cherry radish seeds planted in the peanut field were ripe for a long time, and they were pulled out along with the peanuts.
Radish seeds are treated in the same way as rapeseed, only need to dry the rapeseed pods and then knead them out.
Judging from the appearance of the seeds, they are no worse than those bought by the old Yang family.
Pick out 72 catties, enough to plant 24 acres of land!
Tomatoes have reached the harvest period, and hundreds of catties can be picked every day.
Wet peanuts are used to cook brine peanuts in the hotel, which is not a big deal if it is two cents a pound more expensive than the market price.
To make the old man happy, she can still pick a few more catties of ripe tomatoes.
After the rapeseed was sold, Grandpa You got a fixed income of thousands of yuan.
The joy of the harvest did not last until noon the next day, when the temperature suddenly soared to 37 degrees.
Not long after dinner, a large dark cloud covered the sky gloomily, like a huge black cauldron that weighed down the earth.
"Turn on the TV and check the weather forecast!" It is rare that the old man who usually looks at the sky with experience is anxious to urge his granddaughter to turn on the TV.
You Yu twisted his brows and flipped through his memories, it's really strange!
In this part of Jiangxian County, there is a heavy rainstorm in three or five years, and it is all within half a month after the beginning of autumn.
I can't complain that the old man is like a great enemy!
As soon as he switched to the local news station, the host, who had dimples in his laughter, seriously inserted a piece of news.
At 13:16 on August 12, 2004, the Jiashi Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning signal for heavy rain:
It is expected that in the next 3 hours, it is expected that the central district of our city, Jiang County, and Bian County will be ..... The rainfall will reach more than 50 mm or has reached more than 50 mm and the rain (more than 20 mm/h) may continue, accompanied by convective weather such as thunder and lightning, gusty winds, and short-term heavy precipitation. Please take precautions.
"Master, orange warning, it's going to rain heavily!" You Yu immediately took the opportunity to cut off: "Milk, you pack up your clothes and move in with your grandfather tonight." ”
The old man was so anxious when he read the news that he was at a loss for a while.
Grandma You hesitated, maybe the rainstorm will stop in a while! How can the golden nest and silver nest have their own kennel comfortably.
"I'm afraid of flashes (lightning) at night!" The original body has such a habit, and there is nothing wrong with borrowing it for her.
"Yo, I also said that you have been like an adult recently, it turns out that you are still so bold, what are you afraid of when you live in the house?"
"Let's go, help you move your clothes!" It's all dark like this, and it's estimated that it will fall in less than ten minutes.
Sure enough, before the grandparents and grandchildren stepped into the dam of the You Yujia family, the extreme weather arrived as scheduled.
The dull thunder came from far and near, and the lightning tore through the dark and dreary sky from time to time, and then the bean-sized raindrops fell.
Hurried and fast, the air was filled with a hot, earthy smell.....
The little ones who watched the tomatoes were scattered like birds and beasts, and less than 200 meters away, they poured a soup chicken on the fat classmate.
"Ahh
"Take a shower, hurry!" You Yu was afraid that the little guy would catch a cold, so he pushed him into the bathroom.
Solar energy in summer is very practical, and it only needs to be filled with water to burn to more than 50 degrees.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind swept across the land.
Before half an hour, there was a sudden power outage, and I don't know where the power line was broken.
After a night of strong wind and rain, no one can sleep soundly.
The torrential rain did not stop until three o'clock in the morning, and when it was certain that the rain would not continue to fall, the red-eyed peasants went out at dawn......
