Chapter 247
For farmers who farm, harvesting is the busiest time of the year every year.
Harvesting takes a long time to sunny day. It is best to bleed the grain while harvesting. At the same time, the bleed grain must be dried in your own yard and dried before storing.
In addition to their own yards, the highway is also a good place to dry graze. For example, there are paddy fields on both sides of the national highway. Many farmers directly spread them on the highway to dry them after harvesting the graze. This is also a landscape in the township.
One-season rice is enough to make a lot of trouble, and if you plant double-season rice, it will be even busier. At this time, in local terms, it is called double-scramble.
The normal double-grabbing is in July, where early rice is harvested and late rice is planted in half a month. However, the climate conditions of Tieshan Bay are lower, and winter begins earlier than those in the plains. Therefore, Li Shaoan's seedling time must be advanced and must be completed by the end of June.
If it is late, the harvest will be greatly reduced or even absent. For Li Shaoan, it will only take seven days.
On the first day of the rush to collect, Li Shaoan called everyone who could call him, including the Li family, Qian family, Chen Chunlan, the little carpenter, Niu Tiezhu and horse big feet... Everyone rolled up their sleeves and went into battle.
In the golden rice fields, people were crowded with people wearing straw hats to cover the scorching sun, and were wearing gray or white jackets. This is the least heat-absorbing color. If you change it to dark, you will have to roast it all day long.
Even so, there is no way to completely avoid the scorching sun, and the arms, neck, and the back of the neck are all severely affected areas. If it is sunburned for a few days, peeling will be mild, and in severe cases, blisters will occur. I feel a sensation of burning pain at night. The burning sensation will take a while before it can be eliminated.
The harvester took a sickle to harvest it in front of him, and bundles of golden rice were sent to the blower to thresh the valley. Qian Xiaoyu and Shi Tou brother were busy stepping on this wooden blower that specialized in threshing the valley.
Bags of rice were carried away, piled onto a tricycle, and directly pulled back to the Li family yard to spread the drying.
The two brothers were busy in front of the blower, and Shi Tou suddenly laughed and said, "Xiaoyu, look over there."
Qian Xiaoyu turned his head and saw Huang Chunni carrying a large kettle on the ridge of the field.
The little girl is still wearing a marijuana braid today and has a light pink bow tied to her head.
This bow has different meanings and was given to her by Qian Xiaoyu. After the last time she got her bow dirty, Qian Xiaoyu promised to give her a new one.
Not long ago, Qian Xiaoyu followed Li Shaoan to purchase goods and selected this bow for Huang Chunni.
After receiving the new bow, Huang Chunni couldn't let it go. She heard that Qian Xiaoyu was busy harvesting rice in the field today, so she dressed up and brought a kettle to bring water to Qian Xiaoyu.
When he walked into the rice fields, Huang Chunni took out a bowl, poured a bowl of water and handed it to Qian Xiaoyu. Seeing him sweating profusely, she said with a heartache: "Drink some water quickly."
Qian Xiaoyu smiled so hard that he showed a mouthful of white teeth. He took the water and drank it. He kept praising him: "It's so cool, delicious!"
Shi Tou stopped working and started to cheer, "Chunni, why do you only bring water to Xiaoyu? I'm so thirsty."
Huang Chunni glanced at him and said, "What are you anxious about? Wait until Xiaoyu finishes drinking first."
In the field, the others looked here, especially when Zhang Hong saw the appearance between Huang Chunni and her son, she couldn't tell the truth. The little girl looked at Qian Xiaoyu with love, and she couldn't help but feel funny. She used to be thinking about her daughter, but now it seems that her son has grown up.
However, Zhang Hong was a little worried. Although Huang Chunni is a good girl, her father Huang Feilong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it makes people feel troublesome when they think of it.
"Chunni, are you here to bring water to your brother Xiaoyu?"
"Is there anything left? Give us a sip."
The adults in the fields like to make such jokes the most. When they saw Huang Chunni blushing on her cheeks and stomping her feet and jogging all the way, it caused everyone's laughter.
Not long after Huang Chunni left, Tan Hongxia came to the field with a large kettle, put it down and shouted at the field, "Let's come here to rest for a while and drink a little water."
Hearing Tan Hongxia's voice, the people in the fields put down their work and surrounded them, holding the bowl and drinking it all. The men could drink it like cows. In the blink of an eye, four or five bowls of water had already been poured into their stomachs.
"Don't worry, drink slowly, if it's enough, I'll pick it up at home." Tan Hongxia greeted.
Seeing everyone being exhausted, Li Shaoan was moved. In addition to his family, there were many people here who were not close to him. They could come to help, and this friendship alone was enough to make Li Shaoan remember it.
"Sister-in-law, prepare a sumptuous dinner, kill more chickens, and buy good wine and meat."
Li Shaoan didn't want to say anything more thanks. His mind is much more mature than before. He tried not to say many things he could say or not. If he said too much, he would appear polite. It would be better to express the gratitude in his heart with actions.
Tan Hongxia nodded. She understood what Li Shaoan meant and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go prepare the meal later. Everyone must remember to come to the house to have a good meal after work."
After drinking the water, everyone found a cool place with shade to rest. They sat in a row under the shade, as if they were having a meeting.
Li Shaoguo looked worried and said, "Shao'an, we have been working for a whole morning to harvest acre of rice from a field, and at most one and a half acres in the afternoon, so we will probably not be able to harvest twenty acres of land in seven days."
Li Shaoan was worried about this problem since he started harvesting rice today. To be precise, there was not seven days left for them to harvest rice, which also included the time for transplanting rice.
Even if the seedlings are planted by throwing seedlings, so many people can only solve the problem in one day. In this way, the time left is six days, not seven days.
"Yes, the problem is more difficult than I expected." Li Shaoan frowned and twisted a knot. "However, I will ask more laborers from the village to help me, and everyone will pay for the day."
Qian Xiaoyu whispered: "Brother Shaoan, I'm afraid this matter cannot be done well."
"Why?" Li Shaoan was surprised.
"Isn't the village building a canal recently? Now, in order to speed up the construction period, it is stipulated that every household will send labor to work this week. We can come to help you harvest rice today, which is already absent from work."
Qian Xiaolin cursed angrily: "What does the village headquarters mean? It's just when you want to hire people, but you just ask everyone to go to work. I think it was intentional!"
Zhang Hong advised: "Xiaolin, don't talk nonsense. This is the village's decision, but it just happened to meet it."
Li Shaoan suddenly felt anger in his heart, knowing that Huang Yunlong must be the one who was doing this, and that Huang Yunlong was doing it openly. Even if he knew that he did it on purpose, he could not do anything to him.
"Huang Yunlong, Huang Yunlong, you are really vicious in this trick of removing firewood from the cauldron. I guess you have been waiting for this moment for a long time." Li Shaoan sneered in his heart, "Since you want to fight, it depends on who is the first step in the game."
