Chapter 52 Harvest Autumn

It seems that in just a blink of an eye, the leaves of the crops in the fields have turned yellow, and various teams and teams have begun to sharpen their sickles in preparation for the autumn harvest. However, the school has just started for the autumn harvest holiday after the summer vacation.

Shen Yulin and Shen Yuxiu were not yet old enough to do anything in the fields, and they would not be given any work points in the team, so they were taken to the private plot by Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang, while watching the children who were already able to crawl around.

Shen Yusui, and Shen Yujun, who was running around all day, helped harvest the sweet potatoes.

Although they are both young, children born and raised in farm families have long been accustomed to working in the fields. Even if they cannot do too heavy work, they will pull aside the cut sweet potato vines and dig out the sweet potatoes from the soil.

It's still ok.

In this way, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang, with their four children, two adults and two children, managed to bring home all the sweet potatoes from Jiufen's private plot in just two days.

Shen Yuxiu looked at the piles of large and small sweet potatoes in the warehouse and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

She didn't know if the family had such food in the past, but since her grandfather built a new house, the family had never had so much food in stock.

They shouldn't have enough food now, right?

Fang Youshun and his wife were equally happy as she was. Although the family did not have a scale, they did not know exactly how many kilograms of sweet potatoes were harvested from the Jiufen land. But just looking at the size of the sweet potato pile, they could roughly estimate that it was about two thousand kilograms.

.

Fang Yan and Shen Jinggui, who came back from work in the evening, couldn't believe what they heard when they heard the figures estimated by Fang Youshun.

They heard from their biological father (father-in-law) that the output of this product was high, but they did not expect it to be as high as this.

My God, nine points of earth, about two thousand catties? If this was wheat or something, it would be enough to feed their family for a year.

After the shock came the surprise, Shen Jinggui was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

With these sweet potatoes, he no longer had any worries. When Shen Jinggui went to work the next day, he happily told his good brother and team leader about the production.

"Brother, we have to be more trustworthy in what we say, right? It's about two thousand, what are you making a fuss about?" The team leader thought he was joking and didn't take his words seriously at all.

"Forget it if you don't believe me. I can't even take you with me." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shen Jinggui wanted to explain but found it meaningless. He picked up the sickle and went to the fields to cut grain without wasting any effort.

The reason why he told the team leader the news was that he wanted his good brothers to grow some sweet potatoes next year. Although this thing is not as good as grain, it can at least fill his stomach, right?

But he is a good brother, but he has one problem: he is too cautious.

If you tell him nicely, he won't believe you. If you ignore him, he will become suspicious and come up to ask questions.

Sure enough, not long after Shen Jinggui left, the team leader began to murmur in his heart.

Having been brothers for many years, he still knows Shen Jinggui well. If this person really wants to fool people, he must try his best to make people believe it. Now he doesn't even want to explain. Is this true?

"Hey, it really weighs more than two thousand pounds?" The team leader thought for a while, then ran up to behind Shen Jinggui's butt and asked.

"Fake, go ahead and do what you're supposed to do, don't delay my work." Shen Jinggui didn't even look back, he bent over and continued to cut the grains.

He is a person who earns full work points. If he works less, he will get less food, so he will not waste time talking to him about established facts.

"Hey, you..." The team leader saw that he was waving the sickle so hard that it was almost an afterimage. He couldn't move forward at all. He frowned angrily and clicked his tongue, then turned around and headed towards the village.

Forget it, he will see for himself.

In this way, the team leader had a rare opportunity not to supervise the team members working in the fields during the autumn harvest, and ran directly back to the village.

Fang’s courtyard.

Fang Youshun was picking sweet potatoes one by one in the warehouse. The big ones without any bumps were put aside for next year's seedling raising. The others were placed on the other side for later consumption.

Grandma Fang was sitting in front of a small board at the door of the warehouse. She was waving a kitchen knife and slicing the sweet potatoes that had been knocked too hard into slices. At the same time, she was instructing the three brothers and sisters Shen Yuxiu from time to time to place the sliced ​​sweet potatoes.

Go to the mat spread in the middle of the yard to dry it.

Shen Yusui, the only one who didn't have to do anything, sat on the cattail mat and watched her grandma chopping sweet potatoes, and her three brothers and sisters constantly going back and forth between her grandma and the mat, with their small heads and big eyes, constantly talking.

Going around and around, he was busier than anyone else.

What the team leader saw as soon as he entered the yard was this busy scene. The sweet potato slices were drying on the mat in the middle of the yard. Their white color made his eyes hurt when they were dazzled by the sunlight.

Seeing his sudden arrival, Grandma Fang immediately stopped the kitchen knife in her hand and asked with a smile: "Hey? My eldest nephew? Why are you here free? Is there something wrong?"

"Ah." The team leader laughed sheepishly, pretending not to care as he walked in and said, "I heard from Jinggui that my aunt's house has harvested a lot of sweet potatoes. Come and take a look."

"What's so interesting about this? It's not a rare thing. It's worth a trip." Grandma Fang still liked her son-in-law as a good friend. She turned around and pointed to the warehouse behind her and said, "It's all in the warehouse."

At the house, your uncle is inside, you can go over there."

"Hey." The team leader agreed happily and immediately ran forward. When he saw the sweet potatoes that were half-filled in the warehouse, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Damn it, you actually collected so much?

The team leader swallowed his saliva. He had been in and out of crop fields for many years, and he could roughly estimate how many sweet potatoes there were. Two thousand kilograms of these sweet potatoes was definitely just a lot more.

His good brother really wasn't lying. It's a pity that eating too much of this stuff will cause heartburn. Otherwise, with such a high yield and all the team growing sweet potatoes, how could there be such a thing as starvation?

"Uncle, uncle, can you leave some sweet potatoes for my family to grow seedlings? After the autumn, the grain will be distributed, and I will exchange it for grain." The team leader stammered and said to Fang Youshun in the warehouse.

It is not practical to plant this in the team's fields, but it is still possible to plant it in the private plot at home to ensure enough food.

"Okay, what's the big deal? I'll save as much as you want." Fang Youshun responded with a smile.

Originally, he was worried that there were too many of these things and it would be difficult to store them. When the time came that the children would get tired of eating them, he would be happy if someone was willing to replace them.

"Oh, thank you, uncle. You have to be busy first. There are still things in the team, so I'll leave first!" The team leader said and ran away happily. Even Grandma Fang wanted him to take a few dollars.

I gave the sweet potatoes to my children when I got home, but they couldn’t catch up.

How could the team leader be such an ignorant person? Nowadays, everyone’s food is very expensive. It’s already great if they are willing to give him some sweet potato seedlings in exchange. How can he take other people’s things?

You can't just take advantage of a good thing. After the team leader left Fang's house, he told a few good brothers about the news. After hearing this, they didn't even bother to go to work. They went back to Fang's house and reserved some sweet potatoes.

I plan to plant it in my own plot next year.

The actions of a few people naturally attracted the attention of other people. After quietly asking what was going on, the village exploded. After work, people all swarmed to Fang Youshun's house to watch the wonders. When they really

When I saw the real thing, my eyes nearly popped out of my head in shock.

Oh my God, it's about two thousand catties. In an era when each of them only had about two hundred catties of rations per year, is this the food for more than ten people?

Don’t worry about whether you feel good after eating too much of this stuff. The important thing is that if you have these sweet potatoes, you won’t be hungry!!

At this time, those people who had been asked by Fang Youshun or Grandma Fang if they wanted to pinch some sweet potato vines to plant, but had refused, were filled with regret.

Why did they blindly refuse such a good thing? This year's harvest is not that good. If they had planted sweet potatoes, how could they be afraid of going hungry?
