Chapter 356: Defending the Food (2)
In the middle of the night, there was a commotion in the village again, and those people had actually gone and returned. All the people got up in their clothes and rushed out, but with great difficulty, they were driven away again. Everyone went back to sleep with peace of mind, thinking that nothing was wrong this time. But unexpectedly, when it was about to dawn, these people came back again.
The patrol people were sleepy, and only a few people were left to watch. Those Gao Li people took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the field, but this time, they really lost a lot of corn. By the time someone found out, a lot of it had already been taken away.
When the gong sounded again, the villagers didn't hear it at all, and they were too tired from the night. Later, the women of the family heard it and quickly woke up the men, and by the time the villagers went out, most of them had already run away with food.
Everyone is so angry, this autumn is fine, everyone thinks that this year should pass so smoothly. No one expected that they would be tossed enough this night.
Shen Hongjun looked at the seventy or eighty people he caught, and he was also angry in his heart. No one expected that these people would be able to come three times in one night.
"General Shen, you don't have to be too angry, this is not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves, we are worried about it. I see that the crops in the geography are almost the same, so from today onwards, each family will start to count the recycling plots. Village Chief Zhao saw Shen Hongjun's angry face, and hurriedly comforted.
"In fact, compared to last year, this is nothing at all, everyone knows in their hearts, if it weren't for you stationed here, I'm afraid the food would have run out a long time ago, and maybe people would have to suffer." The old people in the nearby village also persuaded them.
"Thank you, it's really Shen's incompetence that will let them succeed." Shen Hongjun still felt a little sorry. This night, he lost more than ten acres of corn, which made Shen Hongjun feel distressed.
"Okay, I'm afraid that all the military masters are also tired this night, so let's go and rest first. We'll take people to start recovering the land, and in a few days, we'll have nothing to steal from these Gao Li people. Village Chief Zhao hurriedly informed everyone to see whose corn was almost grown, and hurried to collect it at home.
Yun Xue was also very tired this night, but after seeing the stolen corn field, they still decided to start collecting grain at home. After breakfast, Yun Xue, Yun Zhen, Tianfu, and Yun Ting all came to their own fields.
"First of all, break off the yellowed corn husks, then it's almost the same, and if the ones are green, peel off the corn husks, and it won't take a few days, and it will be fine." Yun Xue commanded.
Now I started to break the corn, it is indeed a little early, and there is quite a lot of corn that has not yet fully grown. But after all, it's better than losing it, at least this kind of corn can be mixed with food, if you lose it, it's all gone.
Because there are still some that can't be broken and need to wait, so you can't cut them down with a sickle and break them again. So everyone looked at the two ridges of land by themselves, piled the broken corn together, and waited for it to be transported out again.
Shen Hongjun came over with a lot of people at the end of the day, and as soon as Yun Xue saw it, she persuaded him to go back and rest, "Last night, the big guys couldn't rest well, you better let them go back and rest." ”
Shen Hongjun shook his head, "I slept for an hour and a half just now, it should be almost." I sent everybody down and asked them to help out in their homes, trying to get the corn down as soon as possible. As long as they receive home, those Gao Li people will be gone. In other places, I also asked people to go over and inform them, as long as they can be recycled, try to take them back. ”
As long as the grain is taken back to each family, then there is really no fear. The point is that the land of the big guys is too scattered, and some of them are still some distance away from the village, so naturally they can't see it. In fact, it's really not that these soldiers are not unresponsible, they are indeed very dedicated.
With the help of these people, the five acres of corn of the Yun Xue family were quickly broken, and then they only needed to be transported home. A fifth of the corn left has not been broken, and it is not yet well. In this way, there will be nothing to do, and even if someone does come again, not only will not much corn be taken away from such a field, but it will delay more work.
Almost every household in the village used this method, and with the help of those soldiers, in two or three days, almost all the corn was recovered. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "That's fine, let's slowly recycle the rest." ”
Now that we've started it, let's move on to recycling something else. Anyway, now the sorghum and millet are all the same. The Han family has a lot of land this year, and all of them have to be cleaned up slowly. Fortunately, Shen Hongjun and his people have been helping out, so he quickly cleaned up the field.
Looking at the piles of corn in the yard, as well as the bundles of sorghum and millet, the smile on Yun Xue's face has never stopped. She never thought that she would gain so much from her family, "Oh my God, I'm not dreaming." Yun Xue stood there, a little unable to come back to her senses.
"Look at your stupid appearance, this is all your hard work for a year, why is it still a dream?" Shen Hongjun stood beside Yun Xue, reached out and touched Yun Xue's forehead, "I don't have a fever." He joked.
Yun Xue was angry and laughed, and reached out to beat him, "Necrotic." ”
Yun Zhen and the others were also shocked by the harvest in front of them. "Tianfu, these are all grown by us. God, I really didn't expect it, it's too much, right? ”
Tianfu's expression was similar to Yun Zhen's, smiling silly. "Oh, how much food can you get here? This time, our family is not worried. ”
Yun Ting and Yun Lei jumped happily, even Yun Xia, although she didn't know where everyone was giggling, but she also joined in the fun. "Master, look at my brother, they have become stupid." She grinned vigorously herself. The little girl's crisp whisper floated in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, adding more joy to this harvest season.
This year's harvest was not bad, although a few families lost some corn, but fortunately it was not very much. At the beginning of spring, everyone thought of this, and deliberately planted less corn.
In all villages along the river, the autumn harvest has almost entered the white-hot stage. The soldiers stationed everywhere were basically sent down to help with the autumn harvest. The sergeants also grow some of their own food, but most of them are still soybeans, potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on. These things are not afraid of being lost, and besides, one place is only forty or fifty acres of land, and it is enough to leave a dozen or so people. The rest of the men were all sent to each house to help.
These soldiers also understood that as long as the crops were taken back and those high-ranking people came back, it would be impossible for them to steal the grain so happily. If you want to steal food, you have to go into someone's yard, and that's not easy. So these soldiers are also full of energy, helping the big guys to collect the land together.
The recovery of the crops in the field is only the first step of the autumn harvest. Next, the corn is picked, the beans are beaten, and the sorghum, millet, millet and other things have to be threshed and dried before they can be stored. Sorghum millet and other things are shelled, but there is no need to worry about this, when you want to eat it, you can just grind it out.
As a result, the people of all the villages got busy, got up early and started to process the grain.
In the open space outside the gate of the Han family, every day Yun Zhen and they drove the oxen, pulled the stones and grinded, and crushed the grain on the ground back and forth. Today it is sorghum, tomorrow it is millet, and the day after tomorrow it is millet, and it is threshing like this. Then the grain was packed up in bags and received in warehouses and other places.
Yun Xue and Yun Ni hurriedly picked up the corn husks, tied them to hanging, and then hung them all on the shelves set up in advance. This year, I didn't dare to build a shelf outside the yard, so I built a few poles in the yard, near the front of the main house, and hung golden corn on them. In addition, Yun Xue also made a corn building on the top of the warehouse, the kind enclosed with sunflower poles, which was well ventilated, and the corn husks that had fallen off were all transported there and dried.
The soybeans were all cut back and stacked outside the courtyard wall, but they are still a little not too dry, and they need to be dried for a few more days before they can be beaten. Yun Zhen and the others dealt with the sorghum, so they hurriedly went to the field again and gouged back all the late potatoes, sweet potatoes and other things. As a result, these things were piled up in the yard again, and after waiting for two or three days to dry, they were all sent to the cellar. Fortunately, the Han family's cellar was dug very large, so it could be regarded as loaded.
The people who collected the grain in the area were busy for a total of more than ten days, and Shen Hongjun still had someone to help. When almost everything was recovered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, this is just the beginning, and the next one is even busier. Because Yun Zhen's wedding date is next month.
The furniture has been pulled back from the town, and now the bedding has not yet been made. Grandma Zhong said that she asked several daughters-in-law of her family to come over to help, but the Zhong family has no land, so it is not as busy as other people's families.
Han Yue'e also came over, their family only has about ten acres of land, but it won't take much time to get it out. Wu Chunsheng had a good business in the rice grain shop in the county seat, and at this time, as soon as the autumn grain came down, he took people to various villages to collect a lot of new grain.
This year, there is no need to pay taxes, and the grain is not lost, and the grain of every household is quite rich. Some people set aside tomorrow's food, and then store a part of it, and sell the rest. After all, it costs money to live, and if you don't sell your food, where can you get money? Besides, the water content of the new grain is very high, so it is quite suitable to sell it at this time.
As soon as the grain harvest is harvested, it will be followed by a drop in grain prices. Wu Chunsheng had long expected this situation, so on that trip in mid-July, he didn't press too much grain. The price of grain in his shop is lower than that of other people's homes, so up to now, there is not much backlog of grain at all. In the middle of the night, there was a commotion in the village again, and those people had actually gone and returned. All the people got up in their clothes and rushed out, but with great difficulty, they were driven away again. Everyone went back to sleep with peace of mind, thinking that nothing was wrong this time. But unexpectedly, when it was about to dawn, these people came back again.
