Chapter 0259: The Autumn Harvest Begins 3
,!
The sliced sweet potato chips are dried during the day and harvested in the evening.
If the dew falls on the sweet potato chips at night, it is easy to get moldy, so it should not get rain.
A group of filial sons who have gone to school after school or have not gone to school have carried bamboo baskets or wicker baskets, picked up the sweet potato chips on the ground with big hands, filled the basket and poured it into the big bamboo basket, and continued to go back to pick up sweet potato chips.
Jiang He and Zhang Erya and a group of orphans followed suit, and Feng Qingxue gave them work points according to Wang Zhengguo's opinion.
The next morning, when the sun was outcropping, the sweet potato chips were scattered into the ground and continued to dry, and then put away in the evening.
Repeat every day tirelessly until the sweet potato chips are dry.
The dried spring sweet potato chips are stored in the warehouse, and the summer sweet potatoes and corn are harvested.
Responsible for digging summer sweet potatoes are old crops, they have rich experience, dig out the sweet potatoes are less damaged, through their careful screening, remove the wounded, sick, disabled and water-stained sweet potatoes, will be intact and full of large pieces of sweet potatoes in accordance with the previous storage method transported into the cellar, in the process of all lightly handled lightly, lightly transported, and strive to leave the best seed for next year.
If you plant well, the seedlings will be good, the seedlings will be strong, and the harvest will naturally rise.
Corn is cut down one by one by male laborers, neatly placed on the ground, row by row, each row of women and children squatting with an awl to pick open the bract on the corn cob, peel off the skin, break off the corn cob and throw it into the open field.
Piles of corn cobs, golden, plump and beautiful.
The joy of the harvest fills everyone's face.
The land of the Wang Lou brigade is fertile, the corn cobs grow long and large, and the yield is unquestionable.
Some corn grows in the shade of trees, and it is not exposed to sunlight, and the stalks are thin, and the cobs that grow are small, and the bracts are verdant, and the kernels of the corn cobs are very tender and soft, and the juice splashes when poked.
At this time, someone must supervise, lest everyone be hungry and eat raw and tender corn.
Wang Zhengguo is still more good at being a person, and said loudly: "The tender corn is picked out separately and put in a pile, and when you get off work, you will take two back to cook and eat!" It doesn't count as part of the work. So, don't steal food in the field, if you get caught, everyone's face is not good! ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone applauded and worked harder.
Feng Qingxue has not been in trouble for more than two months, although there is no time to go to the doctor to check the pulse, but the fact of pregnancy can be completely confirmed, in addition to recording the work, she also has to work, but she is very careful not to do the work of bending down and pressing the lower abdomen.
It cannot be said that they do not work, because many women with big bellies sweat in the fields.
Even, some have not been idle for eight or nine months of pregnancy.
In this case, how can Feng Qingxue use pregnancy as an excuse not to work?
After cutting the corn stalks, the male laborer carries a bamboo basket or dung basket full of corn cobs to the mule cart and transports it to the field to spread out to dry.
The corn stalks are transported to the fields and stacked, and after the wheat is planted, it is transported to the cattle shed to be stacked.
Corn stalks, like sweet potato vines, are feed for livestock.
At noon, in order not to delay their work, everyone ate the dry food they brought under the shade of the trees in the field, some brought their own boiled cold water, and some drank the raw water flowing in the river.
