Chapter 189 Autumn Harvest
The vigorous autumn harvest movement began. Han Mingxiu, like other members of Sun Aotun, devoted himself to the busy autumn harvest movement.
Two days on Saturday and Sunday, she and her elder sister got up early and worked late to pick back the potatoes from the two pieces of private fields at home. The potato seedlings were temporarily left in the field for drying, and then transported them back for fire after they were completely dried.
Then I started to clean up the garden and first picked out the sweet potatoes in the garden. I picked the sweet potato seedlings a little tender and kept them for the pigs. The old ones threw them on the pile of firewood to keep them for the fire.
Most of the vegetables in the garden are also cooked, and they will grow old if they are not picked.
She picked all the ripe tomatoes, peppers, beans, melons, horned melons, eggplants, cucumbers, etc., picked the slightly tender ones and stored them in the space. The oldest ones kept the seeds from the coming year, and she cut the rest into slices and dried them into dried vegetables.
Regarding those dishes that disappeared without reason, her explanation to her elder sister was... she asked someone to deliver them to Mr. Gao. The elder sister was easy to fool. She fooled her elder sister with a few words.
After processing the vegetables in the garden, the production team's autumn harvest movement officially began.
Although Han Mingxiu didn't care about the work points of the production team, in order not to be irresponsible, he still went to work like everyone else.
The job she was assigned to make corn was to make corn, which was to walk along the ridges of corn fields, and toss the broken corn on the corn poles while walking, and then throw the broken corn on the ground casually.
Then some male members knocked down the corn poles and tied them into bundles. The female members were responsible for picking up the corn cobs thrown on the ground in piles, and finally loaded them together, and pulled them back to the yard of the production team to dry and thresh.
The work of breaking corn is not easy to do. It is either how tiring the process of breaking corn is. When you walk through the corn field when you break, the corn leaves will scratch your face, making your face burnt, and your skin will be tender and easily scratched.
Han Mingxiu belongs to the group with tender skin. When he broke a ridge, his face was scratched one by one, and all his blood was responding, making Han Mingxiu grin in pain.
But this season is still a bit stuffy and you can't cover your face, otherwise the hot weather and labor exercise will make people breathe rapidly, and if you cover your face, you will be even more breathless.
So I can only hold on.
After breaking the two ridges, Han Mingxiu couldn't hold on anymore. She felt like her face was scratched, and it hurt like a piece of skull. In the end, she didn't care what others thought, and rode her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a yarn scarf and wrapped it on her head. She only cut a hole in her nostril to keep her breathing.
With this magical equipment, she finally survived six days of corn-breaking career.
Han Mingxiu didn't care about everyone saying that she was spoiled and harming people (cutting a good scarf into everyone's eyes would harm people). As long as he completed the task, others would not be able to find any major problems with her.
After breaking the corn, they did not rest and then started picking the corn.
Those who pick corn are all female members, and male members have more difficult tasks to do. Due to their physical advantages, they were sent to the ground to dig and knock.
The slaughter is the part that remains in the ground after the corn stalks are cut down. There is no crimper in this era, so the slaughter remaining in the ground must be dug out one by one. The roots of the slaughter are filled with a large amount of soil, so the members have to carry one in one hand and knock the two slaughter violently until the soil at the root is knocked down.
The clean notes can be used to burn fire. Generally, when the production team divides firewood, each household can also get some notes. Although everyone is unwilling to use notes to burn fire, there is no way. There are not enough corn poles, so they can only burn them.
When picking corn, Han Mingxiu was assigned to the team leader’s wife. Han Mingxiu was not picky. No matter which group she was assigned to, she would do her own work seriously.
When Han Mingxiu came to this pile of corn mountain, several women from the same group had already arrived, and the captain's wife had already arrived.
"Aunt San, Aunt Qi..."
Han Mingxiu greeted the two elders sitting beside her obediently, then sat down and lowered her head to start picking corn.
When picking corn, women chatter and chat about each other.
Han Mingxiu listened quietly from the side and heard several news that interested her.
First, her good cousin Han Mingyan is already in high school. I don’t know where I got the money. I just went there anyway. I heard that the person who was in high school was still very good.
I also heard that from October 1, villagers can hand over meat.
It is the agreement signed with the village when I was crediting pigs and lambs. If the country gives you a piglet to credit, you have to hand over one hundred kilograms of meat to the country.
Regarding this news, everyone said that it is less than December, how can pigs grow so fast?
However, Han Mingxiu was secretly happy because any of her two pigs was enough for her to hand over the 200 kilograms of pork.
