Chapter 156 Autumn Harvest

The five people spoke in unison, saying to the outside world that they met a five-pin leaf seedling, and the family shared five hundred yuan.

There is a comparison between the first team and the third team, and the big guys don't think much of it.

There will be envy to some extent, but it is not as jealous and jealous as the big house, so that it will stumbling secretly.

In this way, the lives of Xu Shiyan and others were not disturbed much, and they still did what they should do.

The crops in the big fields have entered the mature stage. At this time, there is no need to weed and loosen the soil, just wait for the harvest in the middle and late September.

There is not much work in the ginseng fields. After autumn, the ginseng sheds that were making goods in those years had to be opened, and there was a rain, so that the ginseng could absorb enough water, and the products were weighed in autumn.

But it has been sunny recently, so we have to watch the weather and wait for the rain.

But Cantu from the Xiaoheihe River, it is time to hurry up and fight the columbine, otherwise, if it rains, he will not be able to work for several days.

After drying the ginseng soil for these days, the grass roots are dead and the soil is much looser. At this time, we have to work quickly while the weather is fine.

Xu Shiyan has always been in charge of the ginseng soil on the Xiaoheihe side, and it is also necessary for him to bring people over to fight the columbine soil.

To beat the soil, you need to hook up the planed adobe with three teeth and throw it to about one meter in front of your chest.

At the same time, kick with your feet, smash with three teeth, and repeat several times until the adobe is shattered and all the grass roots are shaken out.

To make good soil, clean up the site immediately, collect tree roots, grass roots and other sundries on both sides of the border, let it dry for a few days and then burn it.

The soil must be loosened without clods.

In some places where there is a lot of black soil, loess has to be taken from the hillside and mixed in a certain proportion.

Then use a shovel to turn the soil evenly, which is called pouring the soil.

The soil should be poured finely and evenly, and folded into sharp soil ridges with a shovel.

The soil ridge should be straight, the soil should be sufficient, and the thickness should be uniform.

Pour all the ginseng soil into a big soil ridge, and this is the end, just wait for the ginseng seeds to be planted in late autumn.

It can be said that there is no such thing as easy and easy work in the field, which is made of mud all day long.

In order to compete for the weather, the big guy has to live and work on the mountain, so as not to waste time running back and forth.

So when Xu Shiyan and the others finished packing up the ginseng soil and went down the mountain, they made one after another, which was almost like a mud monkey.

In September, Xu Shixiang went to Tonghua to study with his luggage on his back.

The family is busy with the autumn harvest, and no one has time to see him off.

Anyway, it’s close to home, and it’s just there by train. For a young man in his twenties, do you still need someone to send you this distance?

Nowadays, going to college doesn’t cost money, and there is a subsidy of more than ten yuan per month. Anyway, food and drink are enough for one person, and if you save a little, you can still have surplus.

Zhou Guilan brought some money to her son, and the elder brothers also felt a little bit more concerned. Xu Shixiang has money in his hand, so he doesn't have to worry about life.

No one else went to deliver it, but Xu Shixiang's partner followed him to Tonghua.

Lived in Tonghua for a few days, seeing Xu Shixiang settle down, and then went home.

Autumn is a very busy season. Men work in the team during the day, harvesting corn and beans, and they have to work on their own private land in the morning and evening.

Women are not idle, and all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden have to be cleaned up.

Otherwise, when the frost hits one day, everyone will be beaten by the frost, so what else do you eat?

So we have to hurry up and clean up. The old ones are taken off and placed in a cool warehouse, where they can be stored for a while and eaten slowly.

If it is tender, you have to find a way to marinate it and save it for winter.

The Northeast region has not had vegetables for a long time. After frost, there are no other vegetables to eat except cabbage, radish and potatoes.

So most women have to hurry up to dry and pickle vegetables.

All kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden can be marinated and eaten slowly.

Steam the tender eggplants in the pan for a while, then remove them in the middle after cooling down, and put in enough salted garlic and coriander powder.

Put it in a jar and seal it up. After a few days of marinating, the garlic eggplant is ready to eat.

Tender beans, young peppers, and even pepper leaves are all scalded in boiling water, sprinkled with salt and marinated.

If you have the conditions, you can also cut some green onion leaves, garlic slices, etc., the taste is better.

Celery root and coriander root are dug out from the ground, cleaned and scalded with boiling water, then sprinkled with salt, rubbed thoroughly, and put into jars.

When eating, take out and slice the celery root, eat it when drinking porridge in the morning, the more you chew, the more fragrant it will be.

Anyway, hard-working women will turn everything they can eat into pickles or dried vegetables, save them, and eat them when there is no food.

This is also a helpless move, as is the case in the Northeast, where winter is too long.

Unlike the south, there are fresh vegetables all year round.

Autumn harvest is the busiest season of the year, but also the happiest.

I was so tired from working every day that I couldn't straighten my back. When I got home, I saw sorghum ears, grain ears, and millet bundled together on the garden sticks.

In the garden, there are sticks of yellow smoke on the wooden frame, red pepper strings and garlic braids on the wall, and a lot of pumpkins, sweet potatoes, yams, and potatoes in the warehouse.

Seeing the joyful wife and the chubby and lovely son again, no matter how hard and tiring it is, it is worth it.

"Come on, eldest son, come to Dad."

Xu Shiyan came home after a busy day, and regardless of his tiredness, he reached out and picked up his son, putting him on his neck.

The six-month-old baby is quite firm and can sit up.

Since Xu Shiyan put his son on his neck for fun that day, this kid has been addicted.

Every time I see Xu Shiyan, I just yell and stretch out my hand, but I’m still not happy to hug him, I have to ride on my neck to be happy.

Xu Shiyan carried his son for a walk all over the place. The little guy didn't know how to be afraid, so he waved his hands happily and shouted.

Father and son are so crazy, Su Anying is terrified.

"Be careful, don't fall on the child, it's so high, what if you fall?"

Su Anying reached out to pick it up, but Xiao Haiyuan ignored her mother at all, playing with his father was a joy.

"Daughter-in-law, it's okay, don't worry. I'll coax the children, you can cook with peace of mind."

Xu Shiyan grabbed his son's waist, how could he let his son fall?

Just carrying his son like this, he ran from the house to the yard, and then wandered around the yard.

"Come, see our dog."

Wandering to the kennel, Xu Shiyan put his son down and let him reach out to pet the puppy.

The four puppies are almost two months old. They were weaned a while ago, and they are eating well now.

With Su Anying taking good care of them, the four puppies are all growing up very well and are very energetic. They fight with all kinds of skin all day long.

Xu Haiyuan came out every day to see the puppies, and he liked them very much. He stretched out his little hand, petted this one, and then petted that one.

Xiaowa, without counting in his hand, grabbed the back of the little black dog's neck with force.

Fortunately, he didn't have that much strength, he only squeezed it, but couldn't lift the dog up.

The little black dog barked, and Xu Shiyan quickly picked up his son and put him on his lap.

The little guy couldn't reach the puppy anymore, so he lifted his calf and feet, looking at his posture, he looked like he was about to kick.

"You brat, I think you'll be a flirt with cats and dogs when you grow up, naughty bastard."

Xu Shiyan reached out and held his son's fleshy little feet, not allowing him to move around.

"Father told you, these are our dogs, don't bully them." Xu Shiyan warned his son seriously.

How could Xiao Haiyuan understand those things? He turned his head in doubt and glanced at Xu Shiyan, "Eight, eight?"
