Chapter 367: Harvest and Divide Grain

After all the millet was harvested, it took a few more days to dry all the millet.

The grain station attached great importance to this batch of grain, and as soon as it was dried after harvesting, it drove and collected the grain.

Originally, most of the rice was piled up in the warehouse of the brigade, and as soon as the people at the grain station left, most of it was empty, and many people looked at this scene and secretly wiped their tears, reluctant!

But there is no way to do it, now is not the next generation, not only do you not have to pay food tax for farming, but also give you subsidies, although it is not much, but the villagers buy pesticides with a little money, it should be enough.

The next day, the village divided the grain in the warehouse, and the grain came according to the head, twenty-five pounds for adults, and fifteen pounds for those under the age of 14.

Although there is still some rice in the brigade's warehouse, it is the kind of rice seeds for the coming year, the hope of a good harvest next year, and no one can touch it.

Although there is only rice, everyone is smiling, Qin Jiang and Qin Xi have a total of fifty catties of grain, and they are in a good mood.

As for Wan Yao, there is no division in the village, and there is no trouble in Qinxi.

Rice is barely considered fine grain, and it is no problem to replace coarse grain with a ratio of one to three.

If Qin Xi's family's 50 catties of rice are exchanged for coarse grains, they can exchange for about 150 catties of coarse grains, and the food crisis that is close at hand has been greatly alleviated.

After distributing the grain, everyone's enthusiasm was completely ignited, and the villagers took care of these dry lands such as peanuts, soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

At the same time, the reservoir released water again, which lasted for a whole day, and since then, the water level in the reservoir has fallen below the sluice gate, and the little water left in the reservoir cannot be released.

Knowing this news, the villagers were shocked and regretful, they knew that this would be the case, when the embankment was built, it would be good to keep an eye on it, no matter how bad it is, the embankment should be repaired as soon as the rain stops, so that so that so much water will not leak out in vain.

At that time, water seemed useless and worthless, but now it seems that water is more precious than gold, and with water there is food, which can save lives.

When it really comes to starve to death, gold, which is not suitable for eating and drinking, will not be used, and food is the king.

In a dry field that is soaked with water, the crops grow well, and even the weeds that grow in it look more watery than the weeds that grow on the road and lack water for a long time.

The first to ripen is the soybean, and when the leaves of the soybean plant turn yellow, the villagers will go to the soybean leaves, leaving only the trunk and soybean pods.

Then cut off the soybean plant with a sickle, put it in a basket, take it back to dry, and dry it until you step on the pod lightly with your foot, and the pod will burst open, and the state of bursting soybeans is almost the same.

Of course, if you step on it with your feet, the efficiency is too low, and the villagers will usually take a big stick, pound the stacked soybean pods vigorously, and finally sift through them one by one to make sure that there are no fish that have slipped through the net.

Some pods that have not been fully dried and cannot be burst need to be screened out one by one, and the pods are broken open by hand to take out the soybeans inside.

The soybeans are almost harvested, and the corn can be broken, after all, the leaves are all yellow, broken back and dried, and when they are brought, they are divided together, and they are bagged for safety.

Just two days ago, on the side of the land, there were also people stealing a lot of corn cobs, this is hungry, some people took risks, this corn will not be broken back, and finally I don't know who is cheaper.

During this time, the enthusiasm of the villagers to work was unprecedentedly high, and peanuts were harvested later.

Sweet potatoes, in particular, are the last to be harvested, because the sweet potato vines are buried in the ground, and it takes a long time to grow to reroot, and you have to wait until early October to get sweet potatoes.

It's not good to start the sweet potato early or late, the sweet potato is small early, and it hasn't fully grown up, but it's a pity, it's late to frost, and the sweet potato that has not been taken back after the frost is wasted.

When harvesting peanuts, interspersed with mung beans, red beans, and black beans planted in the corners of the field, all these are harvested together, and it is much easier to collect these things than to dig peanuts with a hoe, which is an easy job, but the work is not high.

But what is more relaxing is to pick peanuts, three minutes a day, no need to bend over and walk, just sit in one place and keep picking peanuts.

Qin Xi did this kind of simplest work, Tang Ying sat next to her, and the two of them talked while picking peanuts, which was called a leisurely one.

Next to them are the big girls, everyone is sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, picking peanuts.

The scene is dusty, there is no way, the weather is too dry, the peanuts can't be pulled out at all, all of them are dug out by the villagers with three-tooth nail rakes or four-tooth nail rakes, one rake and one rake.

Peanuts are dug out of the soil, so naturally they carry mud.

There were also people at the scene who took on the heavy responsibility of watching them pick peanuts, because some people were greedy, and when they picked them, the peanuts were sent to their mouths.

If no one is watching, all these people can be here and have their stomachs shut.

"Do any relatives in your family come to the door?" Bai Yanzi looked at Sister-in-law Qiu Yu.

She is old, and even has grandchildren, so she naturally wants to do some light work, and the job of picking peanuts is very suitable for her.

In this regard, how can she be young and have enough experience and thick skin, even if others see it, at most they will look at her twice, and they don't believe that anyone dares to tear her face with her, and directly tell her about it.

Even if there is really that stunned Qing, stealing a few peanuts is a big deal, she is not afraid of this little scene.

"Yes, it's my second brother, he said that the family is out of food." When Sister-in-law Qiu Yu said this, her brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that this incident made her very embarrassed at that time.

Don't borrow it, that's her second brother, which makes her very ruthless and unjust, what happened, her mother's house is not good to go back, don't say anything else, the second sister-in-law won't give her a good face, borrow it, her own family can't pass it, and the daughter-in-law of the family must not rebel!

"Did you agree to borrow it?" White Swallow inquired.

She said that she heard the movement next door yesterday, but she didn't see anyone come to the door with her own eyes, so she took the liberty of following her to see the excitement, which was not good.

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Qiu Yu seemed to see her own embarrassment yesterday, and she frowned directly, feeling very upset.

Although the food was borrowed, I regret it! A large family is complaining about her, but she is really not a person inside and out.
