Chapter 12 12 Guys

It was not until September NO.30 that I was able to do it on the road.

Today happened to be Sunday, and she went to the field early in the morning. It has been more than ten days, and the wheat has come out.

And because of the rain, the wheat production is also very good.

I hurried home to get urea.I asked clearly when I bought it, and it can be used after the seedlings emerge.

She poured out half a bag of urea, and carried the bag to the field with a rubber bucket.Throwing away chemical fertilizers is not an easy job, and Han Yuanfang didn't go home until after two o'clock.

The pigs at home are already about to rebel.Hurry up and feed the pigs.The smell of urea was all over her body, and Han Yuanfang washed it clean.Then eat, lie down and rest.

After entering October, the weather is obviously cooler in the morning and evening.

Every day is an unchanging life, and she has done all the chores at home.

"Dongmei, what happened to your hand?"

"Help my mother rub the corn, and it's time to pay the public food in more than a month."

Han Yuanfang really didn't know this, "Then I have to rub corn when I go back?"

"Yeah, I just don't know if you want to pay the public rations for three people or one person."

Han Yuanfang was also anxious now.Thinking about going to the village chief to ask after school.

She didn't want to go to the village chief's house at this time, because they were about to eat, so she ran home to take care of the animals, and went to the village chief's house when she was full.

"Master, I want to ask how much public grain I have to pay?"

"I've already applied with the higher-ups. The higher-ups are also taking care of you. This year, you can just hand over to one person."

Han Yuanfang quickly thanked the village head, and now she feels at ease. "Master, how much public food does one person pay?"

"Eighty catties of corn per person per acre of land, and 96 catties of wheat, which your parents have already handed over. But next year you will have to pay 160 catties."

"Uncle, I know, I have to hurry up and rub the corn."

Looking at Han Dongmei's hands, I feel pain, and thinking that I have to rub them all, I feel more pain in my hands.

When I got home, I used a dustpan to pick out the top layer of the corn basket, which was almost dry.

Find out the screwdriver at home, and cut a few lines on it, so that you can rub too much.

Han Yuanfang spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to rub the two baskets of corn at home.In my previous life, I also rubbed it by hand at the beginning, but later I got a machine for shaking corn, which must be much faster than rubbing by hand.

Don't know if there is a guy like that here.

"Dongmei, how do you rub corn at home?"

"Rub it with your hands, or put some corn in a snakeskin bag and chisel it with a stick, that's also easy to rub."

"Is there no machine?"

Han Dongmei also knew that Han Yuanfang's family had too much corn, so it was unrealistic to expect her to rub it alone. "I heard from my second aunt that some counties have used corn shakers."

"Dongmei, do you know which county it is? I want to buy a corn shaking machine, or if I rely on myself, when will the corn come out?"

"I remember my second aunt said it was Run County."

"Okay, I see, I'll go and have a look this Sunday." There is hope.

On Sunday, she gets up early in the morning to prepare things.

Run County is not close to here, it is seventy or eighty miles away, Han Yuanfang thought it would be nice to arrive at noon.

She saw a lot of people along the way, so she asked a man with a good-looking face to inquire, and rode quickly over there.

The corn shaker is not sold by the supply and marketing agency.It's sold by a private shop.

Just this one corn shaker actually costs 35.Han Yuanfang finally bought it.More money is more money.

There are quite a lot of things in this canteen. Han Yuanfang also bought salt and alkaline noodles, and thought about going to the supply and marketing agency to buy the rest.

The little boss at the canteen was quite responsible and helped her tie it to the back seat of the bicycle.

Han Yuanfang rode home, thinking along the way that he was spending money again.

Since I came here, I haven't earned a penny, just spent money.

After entering the village, I saw many people, "Yuanfang, what did you buy?"

"Corn shaker."

"Good stuff, Yuanfang, I'll follow your house to have a look."

Han Yuanfang didn't refuse either, mainly because he didn't know how to refuse.

When she reached the door of the house, four or five people followed her.

Han's house is not the best in the village, but it can be counted.

Several women followed in, looking at the neatly tidied yard, they felt emotional, thinking that this 11-year-old girl couldn't live a good life, but now she looks pretty good.

Someone helped Han Yuanfang remove the machine for shaking the corn. There is no base yet, but it is still possible to try.

This thing is cast iron, and it still has a lot of weight.

They didn't use Han Yuanfang for anything, so a few people moved to the balcony and started experimenting.

After shaking it a few times, all the corn kernels of a corn cob fell off, and the cob bones were still exported.

"Yuanfang, where did you buy this thing?"

"San Niang, I bought this from a small store in Run County. If you want to buy it, hurry up. Although 35 is quite expensive, it is made of iron. It is so heavy that you can sell a lot of it for scrap iron. money."

Several women nodded, 35 is indeed a lot of money, it can save a lot of things, and you don't have to suffer. Every year rubbing corn will cause your hands to bleed.

"Yuanfang, tell me the exact location of the commissary."

"Well, it's actually quite easy to find, San Niang, if you want to buy it, hurry up, but I heard from the boss that this batch is sold out, and there will be another batch at the earliest."

Several women left in a hurry and went home to discuss.

Han Yuanfang sent away a few people and closed the door to feed the pigs.

She thought that she would really not be able to raise pigs next year.I went to the village to go to middle school, and I couldn't come back to feed at noon every day.

I can no longer raise pigs, that is, there is no way to earn money. I must study, but I also have to think about how to earn money.

It is inconvenient to do anything at this age, so I can only do some small business.

After the animals were taken care of, he cooked himself a bowl of noodle soup.

When I was full, I started to study how to get a base for the corn shaker.

In my previous life, I also had this guy style in my family.The base is welded with iron.

Han Yuanfang thought about the situation in the village and there were no welders.It can only be made of wood.

Thinking of this, he rolled out the cart and installed the corn shaking machine to the carpenter's house.

This carpenter has a good relationship with Father Han.I used to come to my house for dinner often.

When they arrived at Tang's house, Han Yuanfang yelled twice outside, and Tang Yuanshan came out in a hurry.

"Yuanfang, why are you here? What's the matter?"

"Second uncle, I'm here to ask you for help. Look, this is the corn shaker I bought. Can you help me make a base?"

Tang Yuanshan took a look, "No problem, I'll do it for you right now."
