Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

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.

Compared with the example of the first team and the third team releasing mountains, the big guys didn't think much of it.

There are some who are envious, but they are not as jealous and jealous as the big house, so that they can stumbling in the dark.

In this way, the lives of Xu Shiyan and others have not been disturbed much, and they can still do whatever they should do.

The crops in the big fields have already 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 used to make goods in those days had to be opened, and there was a rain, so that the sticks could absorb enough water, and the products were shipped out in autumn.

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

On the other hand, Shentu on the side of the Xiaoheihe River should hurry up and make aquilegia, 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 have withered 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 he brought people over to fight the columbine soil.

To make columbine soil, one needs to hook up the planed adobe with three teeth and throw it about one meter in front of the chest.

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

After digging the soil, the site should be cleared immediately, and the tree roots, grass roots and other debris should be collected on both sides of the border, and then dried in the sun for a few days before being burned.

The soil must be scattered 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 the work in the field is not easy and easy, and it is made of mud all day long.

In order to compete for the weather, the big guy had 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 that looked like mud monkeys.

In September, Xu Shixiang went to Tonghua to study with his bags 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, just take the train. For a young man in his twenties, do you still need someone to send you this distance?
Nowadays, going to university 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 some leftovers.

Zhou Guilan brought some money to her son, and the elder brothers also expressed some interest. Xu Shixiang has money in his hand, so he doesn't have to worry about life.

Others didn't go to see it off, but Xu Shixiang's partner followed him to Tonghua.

Lived in Tonghua for a few days, watched 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 free either, 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 can I eat?

So we have to hurry up and pack it up, take off the old ones and put them in a cool warehouse, where they can be stored for a while to eat slowly.

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

Vegetables have not been eaten for a long time in the Northeast. When the frost hits, there is no other vegetables to eat except cabbage, radish and potatoes.

Therefore, most women have to hurry up to dry and pickle vegetables.

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

Put the tender eggplant in the pan and steam it for a while, then remove it in the middle after it cools 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.

The tender beans, tender peppers, and even the pepper leaves were all scalded in boiling water, sprinkled with salt and marinated.

If possible, 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 the celery root and slice it, and 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 the winter time 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 waist. When I got home, I saw bundles of sorghum ears, rice ears, and millet tied together on the garden sticks.

There are sticks of yellow smoke on wooden frames in the garden, red chili strings and garlic braids on the wall, and a large pile 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 find Dad."

Xu Shiyan returned 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 already firm enough to sit up.

Ever since Xu Shiyan put his son on his neck while playing around that day, this kid has been addicted.

Every time I saw Xu Shiyan, I just shouted and stretched out my hand, but I was still not happy to hug him, I had to ride on my neck to be happy.

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

The father and son are so crazy, Su Anying's heart skips a beat.

"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 didn't pay any attention to her mother at all, it was a joy to play with his father.

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

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

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

"Come and see our dog."

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

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

Under the careful care of Su Anying, the four puppies are all very good and energetic. They have all kinds of skin all day long, and they fight at every turn.

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, squeezed 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 pup with his hands, 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 boy."

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

"Father tells 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?"
