Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 180
It was only then that many members remembered that the land belonged to the junction of the two, and the first team also had more than an acre.

As far as the fields in the villages of Shigejie Commune are complete, they are almost all in a state of fragmentation.It is rarely like the plains, where there are plots of hundreds or even thousands of acres.An area of ​​[-] to [-] mu is considered relatively large.

The second team now has nearly [-] acres of land, divided into [-] or [-] places piecemeal, many plots and the first team are in a state of criss-crossing.

These educated youths have been in Guanzi Village for less than a year. Although they usually work with the commune members and know the approximate locations of the various plots, they do not know the boundaries of the two teams in detail.

So just like that, they were busy all night, and in a daze, they also cut off a group of broomcorns.

Hearing Wang Manjun's cry, everyone roared with laughter.

A few educated youths who were complacent were very embarrassed.

Now it's all right, I originally wanted to show my face on the commune radio, but now it's Lugouzi.

"Uncle Lian Shun, what do you think we should do? Mizi can't be counted as yours if he receives it from the second team, we have to make it clear." Wang Manjun asked persistently.

More than one mu of millet is less than a hundred catties.If he ignored it lightly, a team of members would definitely curse him behind his back.

"What are you thinking, deduct a few hundred catties, how can there be goods from our team..."

Wang Yanqiang talked a lot in a cloud of fog, but he didn't get to the point for a long time.

But everyone still has a bottom line in their hearts, and they don't steal things from private plots.

Wang Manyin worked for half a day and was already hungry.After washing his hands casually, he sat down at the kang table.

At this moment, Wang Mandun, who got the news, finally arrived.

For this reason, some villages collect the millet more carefully, and only let the members use scissors or carving knives to collect only the ear of the millet, so that it is not easy to drop the grain.

Wang Yanqiang didn't explain too much, and immediately started assigning patrol tasks when he saw people gathered together: "A pair of two, Shufeng and Qiusheng will guard the fields in the west, and Manyin and I will guard the south of the village."

On reaching the ground, Wang Yanqiang chose a safe place and lit the firewood he brought.

Seeing that it was not early, everyone put away their sickles and prepared to return to the village.

The mouth is burnt, chewed with a soft and soft taste, and then the mouth is full of fragrance, but it has a special taste.

Hearing this, Wang Yanqiang heaved a sigh of relief: "Since your family is clear, it's easy to talk about. Let's get some corn cobs each, not too many, just a dozen ears... In addition, we can't take it back now, so find a hidden place first." Bury it somewhere, and take it home after harvesting in autumn. At that time, the corn cobs will be cleaned, mixed with more soil, and they will be dug from mouse holes, and most people will not care.”

After all, life is hard for everyone.

"Wu, I can walk with my head down if I can weigh 150 catties." Wang Lianshun curled his lips, and said, "Officer Zhao, how about I be fair. The second team has three acres of land, just as the Manjun said, one mu of land 150 catties will be deducted. After we deduct three acres and two points of land, the rest will be given to the first team, how about it?"

Just as Wang Manyin thought, Wang Yanqiang had no intention of patrolling at all, but just chatted by the fire.

"How about this, wait for the second team to beat out the millet, weigh a hundred catties for the first team and send it over." Zhao Jianhai scratched his head and said to the two captains.

Although the job of night watch is easy and they get work points, they really don't want to do it anymore.

He had seen just now that there were still a lot of broomcorn ears in the field, at least two large bundles could be cut.

"Man Yin, there are Shufeng and Qiusheng..." Wang Yanqiang looked around and said immediately.

"Let's go, let's find Director Zhao for an evaluation. He has to take care of this matter." Wang Manjun saw that the problem could not be solved, so he could only poke up.

As Wang Mantun said, the autumn harvest is the big deal.

The two captains kept shouting in the brigade headquarters, which soon attracted many people to watch.

The other party looked around, and suddenly walked towards the cliff ditch with a few corn cobs in his arms.

After a whole morning's work, dozens of laborers only cut two pieces of land.

This guy stayed in the space for more than half a month, and Wang Manyin delivered meals every day, and his life was quite nourishing.

It was the first time for Wang Manyin to eat grilled corn, which was very novel.

"What should I do? It's none of my business for educated youths to be advanced," Wang Lianshun replied with a forced smile.

If you are found out, you must make a fuss.

"Listen to me, boy, this is a good job," Wang Yanqiang said, winking his eyes.

The fire was so big that there was no wet wood, and soon the firewood was burning again.

The crop of broomcorn millet has a characteristic, the maturity time of different varieties can vary by half a month.In addition, even if the granules grown on the same plant mature sooner or later.Therefore, it is necessary to plan well when harvesting. If it is too early, it will cause a reduction in production, and if it is too late, it will easily drop grains.

When he went to work in the afternoon, Wang Lianshun specially asked someone to bring the rabbit net.

Wang Manyin originally wanted to get up and say hello, but now he can only hide his body in Gelao.This situation made it seem that he had done something for fear of being discovered by the other party.

Seeing Wang Yanqiang winking at him, Wang Manyin nodded in agreement with doubts in his heart.

Hearing his name, Wang Manyin immediately wanted to refuse.

"You'll find out later..."

The autumn harvest is better than the wheat harvest, at least the weather is not so hot, and the time is not too tight.

They used to protect the autumn at night, so at least they could come back to sleep in the middle of the night.Last night, I was busy all night for a meal of dumplings, and was called to work again in the morning, even if it was hard, I couldn't bear it.

This time it was better, and finally caught a hare before work was over.Chop it, chop it, the half pot of pumpkin is barely enough for everyone to drink a bowl of rabbit pumpkin soup.

After walking for a few miles, he suddenly felt a little anxious, so he greeted Liu Xiangyang.Let the other party drive first, and walk down a cliff by yourself.

After staying in the space for a while, he felt that the time was almost up, and he returned outside again.

Covered by wormwood, Wang Manyin quickly solved his personal problems.Before he could put on his pants, he heard a voice from the road: "Woo..."

Hearing this, both of them remained silent.

The sorghum is red, the corn is also bearing heavy cobs, and the second team still has more than ten acres of rice... In short, there is no idle day.

This corn cob is also considered a certificate of merit, so I have to break it.

When everyone was parting at the entrance of the village, he pulled each other and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Yanqiang, why did you choose me? Do you know that I don't want to keep watch?"

It's good intentions to know... But, he really doesn't need it.There is so much food in the space that I can't finish it, why should I be greedy for those three walnuts and two dates.

A great writer in later generations wrote in the article "I am a farmer": "Farmers, there are almost no non-stealers... or carry them on their bodies, or put them in the basket, and cover them with grass; or break them off during the day and throw them away. On the ground, come back at night to get..."

Then, he broke a few ears of corn from the field and said: "Manyin, the vigil is long at night, we can't be hungry. You greeted and roasted, I will go to the ditch to cut some mugwort, and touch the mosquitoes at night many."

Probably feeling that the groundwork is almost done, the other party thought about it and said: "Man Yin, you were not in the village before, maybe you don't know... Our village is in a state of food shortage every year. If you don't want to do anything, the members must have Been starving for months..."

In fact, Wang Lianshun also knew in his heart that there was no way for the second team to occupy more than an acre of millet.The reason why he was noisy was to embarrass Zhao Jianhai.

With this skill, why don't you sleep with your mother-in-law and aunt at night.

Not long after eating, Wang Yanqiang brought other people over.On each shoulder was a small bundle of firewood, and in his hand was a shovel and sickle.

As for Zhao Jianhai, he has just written a manuscript of the advanced deeds of Guanzi Village, and plans to send it to the Shige Festival later to try to broadcast it on the commune.

In addition, the several acres of land that the educated youths had mowed needed to be reworked... These guys were busy at night, and it would be hell if they could cut the millet ears clean.

"What, you don't even want to give a hundred catties. Our land can produce at least 150 catties." Wang Manjun was also annoyed.

But he couldn't tell Wang Yanqiang these words, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

After walking 300 meters away, he dodged into the space.

"Let me first talk about the rules of our second team to protect the autumn this year. Every night, there are four people, and everyone supervises each other. If anyone finds someone stealing food from home, he must report to the team... Whoever dares to move his mind will be fined two times for stealing a catty." Jin, let’s see if I’m afraid or not these days. Tonight, Yan Qiang will take the lead and choose three people.”

There is no way for the vehicle to enter the ground, and most of the time it needs to be carried by people on their shoulders.

Zhao Jianhai was afraid that the villagers would guard against him, so he held a meeting more than half a month ago, and made it clear that the educated youths should protect the autumn, and no villagers should participate.

Well, now Wang Manyin didn't say anything more.

Of course, Wang Manyin is clear.

The two left the fire and each chose a place to enter the cornfield without disturbing each other.

At this time, Wang Lianshun stopped and explained: "Everyone, don't leave, let's arrange the manpower for tonight's autumn vigil tonight. Every family must have one person in a shift."

As for Liu Xiangyang, he was an unshakeable walking tractor driver.This job is easy, which can be regarded as Wang Lianshun's special care for him.

***
For the suffering people, there is endless work to do in the autumn harvest.The crops in the field matured step by step, wave after wave.

It's obviously a good thing, but why did this come out again.

After coming here for nearly a year, Wang Manyin has gotten used to the smell of black nests.With salted eggs inside, it tastes nutritious and delicious.

As a result, two captains came to the door together.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the owner, Rhubarb reacted immediately.This guy quickly jumped out of the nest, rushed to the front, and kept shouting around.

Of course, there are also some who are found to be criticized for their backs, and some even feel ashamed and commit suicide.

He himself naturally hoped that the major incidents would be reduced to minor ones, and it would be best not to make such a disturbance that everyone in the village would know about it.

Now that the two pieces of millet are collected together, it is really impossible to distinguish yours from mine.

It seems that many people in the second team are well aware of this kind of thing.But the predecessor didn't join any production team last year, so I don't know much about it.

"Uncle Yanqiang, it's not cold today, and you still want to warm up at night?" Wang Manyin asked puzzled.

He stretched out his head quickly, and saw the donkey cart that Wang Fuchang was driving stopped steadily.

"Didn't Officer Zhao already arrange the night watch and let the educated youths do it all the time?" Wang Manyin asked suspiciously.

Wang Manyin broke off two tassels symbolically, and then walked towards the depths of the cliff ditch with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

Soon, Wang Yanqiang returned with a lot of mugwort in his arms.

"Well," Wang Manyin could only nod his head.

Roasting corn is also a technical task, so don't be impatient, otherwise it will be easy to roast half-baked.

The two sat by the fire and kept turning and roasting corn, listening to the sound of autumn insects around them.

Good job?Hearing this, Wang Manyin immediately had a guess... nothing more than "take".It's no wonder that when Wang Lianshun announced the reorganization of the autumn protection team, some members had joy on their faces.

Since he came tonight, he was already prepared in his heart.

After eating two corn cobs and seeing that there was not much firewood left, Wang Yanqiang picked up the sickle and cut two bundles of grass and vines on the ground.

When the walking tractor drove back, Wang Manyin followed slowly all the way to prevent the corncobs from falling.

The matter was settled, and the two captains began to call the members to assign tasks.

After learning about what happened, he made a final decision: "Don't make any noise, the second team divides one mu and three parts of the millet land, and let the first team cut it. It's only a few dozen catties of grain, so there's no need to make a fuss. I'm so busy with the autumn harvest. , you can take the members to cut a few acres of land."

During the period, I encountered many wild rabbits, but unfortunately there are no more dogs in the village, so people can only stare blankly.After chasing it several times, I didn't even touch a rabbit hair.

After listening, he was also dumbfounded.

By the way, he told his aunt about his vigil, and told her to lock the door at night and go to bed early so that she didn't have to wait for him.

But for Wang Lianshun, he just cut with a sickle to save trouble.

Wang Manyin became a little impatient, and said bluntly: "Uncle Yanqiang, don't talk so much nonsense. I am also a member of the second team, so I can do whatever you want... Shall we break corn or cut sorghum?"

The peregrine falcon over there also found the human beings, flapped their wings and let out cheers.Now it was pitch black outside, Wang Manyin had no way to take this guy out, so he could only walk up to him and comfort him.

"What's the matter? It's a drought this year. In the field of the first team, the millet is as thin as rabbit hair, and it can produce up to [-] catties." Before Wang Manjun could speak, Wang Lianshun had already shook his head and refused.

"That's right, I don't want to do it either, I need to get a good night's sleep." Xie Liansheng shook his head accordingly.

The male laborers cut the millet, while the female commune members were led to collect the beans.

Wang Manyin was very strong, so he was naturally assigned the task of loading and following the car, and his clothes got wet several times in a long time.

"Brother Wang, you treat us like cattle. Last night, we were busy for most of the night, but we didn't get a good word, so we were reprimanded by the first team leader. You still want us to watch the night tonight? Anyway, if I don't go, whoever wants to show it will go." Shang Zhi Min flatly refused.

Looking at the other educated youths, they also yawned profusely.

To eat a few corn cobs, Wang Manyin was already prepared in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously.He took a shovel and cut off a few branches to build a barbecue grill, and put corn on it to roast.

After harvesting the millet, start cutting millet and buckwheat.

When Wang Manyin arrived home, Lan Hua had already prepared the meal.

Salted eggs, black nests, fried pumpkin vegetables...

Stealing the production team is not considered stealing, and now it has become an unspoken rule in the minds of some members.

After experiencing Hu Qiu, he still doesn't understand what Wang Fuchang wants to do.It wasn't until Wang Manyin's legs went numb that he saw the other party return to the road.

When the donkey cart was gone, he moved closer to check.

Where Wang Fuchang was busy just now, there was a pothole the size of a washbasin, which was covered with a layer of fresh topsoil.

Wang Manyin shook his head helplessly, don't talk about the elder brother, don't talk about anyone else.
