July is the busiest time of the year, also known as double robbery, at this time, you need to grab the crops to plant crops, a busy month, people can lose a few pounds.

Gao Mingcheng's Tian Shao, but after finishing his own work, he couldn't rest, he had to go to his parents' house and grandmother's house to help.

This year, his third brother went to work in the county's transportation company and could not help the family, but his fourth brother had graduated from junior high school and was not admitted to technical secondary school and high school, so he could only stay in the village to farm.

Rao is so, there are not enough manpower, his family originally had nine acres of land, when he split the family, he divided one acre, and there were eight acres left, but what about it, Grandma Gao is old, naturally she can't work in the field, and his sister-in-law also has to take the children to do housework at home.

Gao Mingcheng first helped his parents' family for a day, and then helped his grandmother's family for another day.

There is one more person in Grandma Xi's family this year, but He Xiuman is pregnant, and her body is not comparable to ordinary people, she wants to go to work in the field, but Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang refuse to let her go to the field, and only let her stay at home to cook.

The reason given is also serious, there is always someone to cook at home, and it is good to be able to eat a hearty and delicious meal after a busy day for most of the day.

With Gao Mingcheng's help, the two families were a lot more relaxed.

helped the two of them harvest rice, and Gao Mingcheng had to be busy with his own affairs again, because he had to plough the field and prepare for the rice planting later.

It is said that raising cattle for a thousand days, using cattle for a while, the calves at home were bought back in the spring, and they are not yet a year old.

In general, when the cow is one year old, it will start to tie a bullnose ring to the cow, and if the time is too early, the bullnose ring is easy to fail.

As long as you have a bullnose ring, after a few days of healing, you can pull the cownose ring for training. However, at this time, the calf's body has not yet grown, and its strength is still very small, and it cannot pull the plow.

Gao Mingcheng's cattle have not yet tied the cow's nose ring, but they are put on the cow's head with a rope, and the rope is triangular, tying the entire head of the cow, which is not easy to break free.

And every night when they are locked in the cattle pen to rest, the rope will be untied, which will make it easier for the cows.

The calf can't work yet, so he has to do the work in the field.

Gao Mingcheng goes out early and returns late every day, although he works for his parents and grandmother's house, but he doesn't let many beauties go with him.

Although many beauties are also neat in their work, she is a woman after all, and she has little strength, so she can't be too tired.

It's just that Gao Mingcheng feels sorry for a lot of beauty, but many beauty also feels sorry for her second sister, seeing the second sister working in the field with a big belly, she is obliged to ask for help.

This is probably the sophistication of the people in the village, who will help each other when needed.

Late rice should be planted before August, otherwise it will affect the harvest if it is late, and farmers are the most concerned about the harvest.

Therefore, every household is busy, and not many people even go to the old market in Junling, and most of the people who go are also there to buy meat.

At this time, meat is the best to sell.

Gao Mingcheng also went to buy meat, and by the way, he brought it to his parents' house and grandmother's house, and when he grabbed it every year, the frequency of eating meat would be much higher than usual.

Because the weather is hot and can't be stored, it is generally a rush to the market, and the meat will be eaten once, and after eating the meat, the person's physical condition will be much better.

In addition to pork, there will also be some loaches and eels on the table.

There are five or six-year-old children in the family, because of their small strength, the work in the field can not help, but they can carry a bag, run to the field to pick up the lost ears of rice and catch loaches, the caught loaches are raised for two days to spit out the sediment, fry it in oil, and then put green peppers to fry, the taste is also very good.

When Gao Mingcheng was plowing the field, he caught a pot of loaches by the way, and he was raising them in a basin at this time.

Since there was not much water in the fields, the people in the village were debating the need to release the water.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss, because no one will raise objections, the water in the reservoir is still relatively full at this time, everyone's mentality is good, there is no idea of fighting for water, all of them are very calm, one day earlier and one day later, they don't care too much.

In September, when the rice was being filled, the fields were dry and cracked, and the crops were in a hurry to get water, and by this time, the water in the reservoir was about to run out.

So who uses water first and who uses water later, it is worth saying.

In the end, this kind of talk will evolve into a brawl, which is a weapon brawl in a serious way, and a dead person in a serious way.

Gao Mingcheng knew this, but he was helpless, there was no water in the drought, and it was not something that could be solved by manpower.

Therefore, the peasants rely on the weather to eat, and if the wind and rain are good, they will eat to their heart's content, and when there is a drought or flood, they will be hungry.

They don't have a big river here, so there is almost no waterlogging, but the drought happens every few years.

Once the water has been released in the field, it is time to prepare for rice planting.

Transplanting seedlings is better than throwing seedlings to harvest, and the long ones are straighter, so the people in the village choose to plant seedlings, but in later generations, there are more people who choose to throw seedlings, because of the lack of manpower, transplanting seedlings is too tired, throwing seedlings will save a lot of trouble and effort, and at that time, the field produces less than ten catties of rice, which is not an important thing.

Although he knew that the yield would be reduced, Gao Mingcheng still ploughed the fields and planted rice together like everyone else, and did not show anything unusual.

If he simply doesn't plant late rice because it will reduce the yield, then he has to be scolded by someone, what is the scolding? It's about forgetting your ancestors!

By the end of July, the work in the fields was finally over, and everyone could take a breather.

Xiao Fushan, contracted by Gao Mingcheng, still needs to hire people to work, and the time is set for three days, and he plans to let people rest for a few days and recover their strength before coming to work.

After the entire Xiaofushan has been measured, there are 298 acres, and the difference of two acres is 300 acres, but in fact, the wasteland at the foot of Xiaofushan Mountain can actually be used.

He could build a large shed here for the tools of his work and for shelter from the sun.

As a result, when the fruit is ripe, you can also pick the fruit and put it in the shed temporarily, and the province will be damaged by the sun.

In addition to building a shed, you can also plant a row of trees, which is occupied, and no one will argue about anything.

Just after the double robbery ended, Gao Zhuang came over to inform him, saying that he would go to his house for dinner at noon tomorrow, and He Xiuman's parents would come over to give He Xiuman stomach money.

This matter was originally scheduled before the double robbery, but because Gao Mingcheng was going to Yangcheng, Gao Zhuang specially went over to inform him, and then it was delayed because of some things, so it was delayed until now.

But it's okay, as long as you go through this ritual before the child is born, then there is nothing to say.

"Okay, I'll come over at noon tomorrow." Gao Mingcheng agreed with a smile.

But Gao Zhuang said: "Brother Mingcheng, you bring your sister-in-law with you!" ”

At this time, when I go to other people's houses to eat and drink, I usually only go to one representative of the family, and there is no drag family to take my mouth there.

But Gao Zhuang specially proposed to ask Gao Mingcheng to bring a lot of beauty, then there would be no problem.

So the next day, Gao Mingcheng went to Gao Zhuang's house with a lot of beauty, although he had already given gifts, but he didn't go empty-handed, but carried two rabbits that he had just hit this morning.

When he went, the tall aunt's family had already arrived, and his aunt was helping Grandma Xi cook in the kitchen.

Many beauties are also people with life in their eyes, and after they came in, they said to Gao Mingcheng: "I'm going to help too." ”

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded and watched her carry the rabbit into the kitchen.

And he was talking with Gao Zhuang and several of Gao Zhuang's cousins, and at about half past eleven, He Xiuman's maiden family was late.

When they got married last time, they came by bicycle, and there were only three people, He Xiuman and her parents, but this time they brought all the family members!

From the old to the young, it's all here!

Seeing this familiar family, the smile on He Xiuman's face instantly froze, and she had a hunch that her parents were going to have a moth!
