Chapter 432: Autumn Equinox
This time, Han Li only said that he had something to do when he rushed back, and pushed the two of them to pull him to the state-run restaurant for dinner.
Time passed day by day, and Han Li's autumn protection team still had no gains, and the young people who knew it had already accepted their fate, and now they were only looking forward to the autumn harvest as soon as possible, so that they didn't have to run to the ground every day.
Time will satisfy these people's fantasies, but when the autumn harvest comes, I hope they can bear it.
Now we are getting closer and closer to the autumn equinox in the 24 solar terms, which is a dividing line at the beginning of the autumn harvest, and even if there is a weather influence such as rainfall, the difference between before and after will definitely not exceed ten days.
The recent weather is described as very close to reality with high autumn air and high clouds, and the blue sky is full of white clouds, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the breeze blows to make the whole person's mood much better.
The leaves of the soybeans in the field have been slightly yellowed, the corn is holding a huge cob, the seeds on the sorghum head are also beginning to turn black and red, and even the leaves of the hazel trees on the mountain are also beginning to turn red.
At this time, many villagers have begun to dry "dried vegetables" in their yards, but at this time, only beans, eggplants, and cucumbers can be dried. and other vegetables, like cabbage and radish. These vegetables will not be available until the season.
Cut the eggplant into large slices, blanch it in a hot water pot and take it out to cool immediately, squeeze out the water and spread it out to dry after it cools, but this process needs to be turned over frequently to dry faster.
Try to choose green and tender cucumbers for drying cucumbers, cut them into strips, marinate the cucumbers with salt, drain the water, and then dry them.
The simplest is dried beans, which only need to be shredded and dried thoroughly.
In addition, peppers are indispensable, because the peppers in the vegetable garden do not ripen at the same time.
When the villagers see that they are ripe, they will pick them first, and among them, they will select a large, fat-fleshed and ripe pepper to dry separately, and finally take their seeds as next year's seeds.
And at this time, all kinds of wild fruits and mushrooms in the mountains and forests are in the harvest season, and the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village will rush to the mountains after work every day, and reserve more winter food for their own families.
Women have a natural advantage when it comes to gathering, and men are really inferior to women in this regard.
Therefore, the work of drying vegetables, cutting pigweed, and cooking dinner in the house is left to the men, the elderly, and the children in the family.
Moreover, the villagers all knew that Han Li and the two Yun Zhiqing would be able to go home to visit their relatives this year, and they had to collect as many mountain goods as possible before the three of them left, otherwise after they left to visit their relatives, they would not only have to go to the commune and county if they wanted to exchange money, but also pick and weigh over there, and the key price would be the same as buying Yun Zhiqing here, so they would lose a lot of money if they went back and forth.
Of course, this kind of extra harvest will not be left behind by many educated youth, especially Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying, who are the most active, because they want to bring more mountain goods when they go home this year.
However, the educated youths have their own small groups, and they all go into the mountains in twos and threes.
For this reason, the dogs of the Han Li family have now gone to work in advance, and they will follow them to the mountains after work.
Hou Yuhua, a pocket girl, refused to let go of this opportunity, she and Zhang Shulan took over the Yun sisters' house together, in addition to the comfort of her own life, the most important thing is not to see Qi Zhaodi storing so many mountain goods.
Hou Yuhua first entered the mountain with her roommates Zhang Shulan, Qi Zhaodi, He Mi and others, but due to her height and long legs, she not only gained the least, but also often couldn't keep up with the team.
It is very dangerous for Hou Yuhua's height to fall behind in the mountains and forests, because there are many wild grasses here that are taller than her, and once she falls behind and wants to meet everyone, or if she is found by everyone, she can only rely on roaring.
Although Hou Yuhua has tried her best to kick her footsteps, she still can't avoid falling behind during this period, once or twice is fine, but there are too many times, and she herself is a little embarrassed to go into the mountain with everyone.
On this day, Han Li had just rummaged through the dried vegetables, herbs, and mountain goods in the courtyard, and was processing medicinal materials in the health room, when Hou Yuhua walked in a little sullenly.
"Brother Han."
"Yuhua is here, why didn't you follow everyone up the mountain today?"
"Brother Han, I, I often can't keep up with everyone when I pick up mountain goods, and I don't want to slow down everyone's speed, so I didn't go."
After hearing this, Han Li knew the reason why she was depressed now, and said with a smile as he looked at the small little girl in front of him.
"If you can't keep up, we won't go, if you can't pick mountain goods, you won't pick them, if you can't be idle, I have a job here that suits you very well, but I don't know if you want to do it?"
"I do."
Hou Yuhua agreed without even asking anything, Han Li smiled and opened up to her directly.
Because other people didn't know about He Mi's family's breeding of flying dragons, but Hou Yuhua, who often went to Qi Zhaodi, knew, so Han Li asked her to harvest and dry some weed seeds from now on, and finally said that she would never let her work in vain.
This job is very suitable for Hou Yuhua, the grass seeds are very light, she can easily carry a large basket, and she does not have to go too far.
After listening to this, the dull expression on Hou Yuhua's face immediately dissipated, and she agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Although Han Li's words were very vague, Hou Yuhua believed that the other party would never let himself do it in vain.
And this is a recognition of her, even if she is not paid in the end, she is still willing to harvest and dry these grass seeds.
Han Li saw that Hou Yuhua didn't take it at all and agreed, and while secretly sighing in his heart about his charm, considering that there were now green gauze tents all around, Hou Yuhua was acting alone, and no one knew if there would be any more characters like Jin Dahe, so Han Li asked his own dog to follow her.
At this time, all five dogs of the Han Li family had jobs, two of the Yun family sisters were beside them, one was beside He Mi and them, and one was beside Hao Hongmin, and now the last one was temporarily following Hou Yuhua.
As for Hao Hongmin, their puppy is still kicking in size, and they can't even take care of the home except for selling cuteness.
Not long after Han Li sent Hou Yuhua away, the Yun family sisters came back from the consignment point.
Now the meals are also simple, there are fresh vegetables in the yard, pick a few cucumbers for dipping sauce, a handful of beans and scrambled eggs, Yun Jingjing also steamed a few eggplants, and finally use a few tomatoes to make soup for dinner.
When Han Li's family was eating in the courtyard, there was a commotion and crying outside.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, we didn't hear anything from the consignment today."
"Listening to the voice, it seems to be the aunt of the Liang Wu family, as well as Niu Dechang and Wu Lili, haven't you heard of any contradictions between them?"
"Just go out and see."
The three of them went out to watch the excitement with a bowl, and when they walked out of the street, they realized that there were really many people who made the same choice as them.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled and walked towards the place where they quarreled, at this time, the aunt of the Liang Wu family was sitting at the gate of Wu Lili Street and scolding the street, and there were several sons and nephews of her family standing next to her.
The villagers all said that the character of this Liang Wujia is not very good, not only is it lazy and lazy, but it also likes to be cheap.
Han Li had also seen her quarrel with other villagers and educated youths many times over some trivial matters, but she had never provoked Han Li and the others, nor had she been so fierce as she was today.
Sun Yong and Niu Dechang stared at the side with blood-red eyes like a bullfight, and Wu Lili leaned against the door and kept crying without speaking.
Liang Wujia's aunt sat on the ground, slapped her thighs with her hands, cried and scolded on the ground, and kept popping out of her mouth about the various organs of Sun Yong and his three relatives, as well as some other descriptive words.
If you write it, it can only be like this, @#¥%......&******.
However, everyone also heard the cause of this incident from the crying and scolding of Liang Wu's aunt, and why she came here to scold.
It turned out that today, the aunt of the Liang Wu family went up the mountain to dig mountain goods, and she first came to the nest that she had treasured for several years.
But what the Liang Wujia aunt didn't expect was that her nest was picked by Wu Lili and the three of them.
Originally, the matter of the nest could not be put on the table, let alone a reason to provoke trouble.
But who is the aunt of the Liang Wu family? Who doesn't know in Shanghe Village, Zhonghe Village, and Xiaohe Village?
Although she had been repeatedly warned by Captain Liang not to provoke Han Li, as well as the educated youths who had a good relationship with him, the three people in front of her were obviously not in this sequence, so the aunt of the Liang family opened her mouth and said.
"Hey, my wife has lived a lifetime and seen a lot of things, and I've seen a lot of objects, but I've never seen three people engage in objects together, I don't believe in the rumors in the original village, and today I see that others are really not talking nonsense, look at the intimacy of the three of you, tsk, tsk, tsk, anyway, my old wife has no eyes."
The aunt of the Liang Wu family was addicted to a lot of anger in her heart, and now the time is pressing, and she plans to turn around and leave after speaking.
But Wu Lili cried directly after hearing this, which made Niu Dechang angry, and pointed at Liang Wujia's aunt and scolded.
"You dead old woman put your mouth clean for me, we are all pure comradeship, how can it taste bad in your mouth? , believe it or not, I'll beat you. ”
When the aunt of the Liang family heard this, she immediately stopped leaving, she looked at the three people opposite and said disdainfully.
"Hehe, how dare you do it? Still beating me? Will you try it with one finger on my finger? ”
Niu Dechang deserved to be surnamed Niu, he stared at his eyes and walked in front of Liang Wujia's aunt in three or two steps, and pushed the other party to a heel, Sun Yong pulled his hand and was still hanging in the air at this time.
This heel directly made Liang Wujia's aunt coaxed, she got up from the ground and didn't even dare to say a word and turned around and left.
Niu Dechang was full of red light and radiant at that time, and turned around and waited for Wu Lili's praise, but what he was waiting for was Sun Yong's disgusted eyes and warning, as well as Wu Lili's worried eyes.
Regarding what Sun Yong said, Niu Dechang thought that he was jealous of what he had just said, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Compared with Wu Lili's worried eyes, he felt more excited, and Niu Dechang thought that she was worried about herself.
