Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 122
When Han Li and the others returned from the grain drying field, everyone looked ashamed.

Yun Yingying felt that her arms and legs were numb. If she were not on the street now, she would have wanted Han Li to carry her back.

Even so, when she passed by an empty alley, she would grab one of Han Li's arms to relieve her current fatigue.

Yun Jingjing was different from usual today, she didn't preach to her sister holding Han Li's arm.

Han Li: "Hey, just keep going and we'll be home. After you get home, take a hot bath, and then I'll give you a massage on your arms, waist, and legs. I'm sure you'll be exhausted tomorrow."

Yun Yingying: "Now I just want to lie down on the kang and go to sleep. I don't want to take a bath or eat at all."

"If you don't take a bath, you will stink tomorrow. If you don't eat, you won't have the strength to work tomorrow, and you will suffer even more than today."

When Han Li and the others reached the door, He Mi and Hao Hongmin had just arrived.

It turned out that He Mi and Qi Zhaodi went to help Hao Hongmin and the others for a while, and they came back together after finishing.

Even though she was tired like a dog, Yang Xiuying immediately began to share the news she got when she saw Han Li.

"Han Li, you are so disrespectful that you didn't even say to do a little work for us."

"I can't help it. The plot you allotted is too far away from me. It would be inappropriate for me to make a special trip there."

Yang Xiuying: "Forget it, I hope we can get closer tomorrow, but do you know what happened just now?"

"what?"

"The new Xiong Xian cut his calf while wiping the black, and there was a lot of blood, which looked scary. At that time, he hugged his leg and rolled all over the ground. The sound was louder than the donkey in the cowshed. , Those who didn’t know thought he was about to die, the team leader couldn’t persuade him by the side, then village head Zhao came over and asked two people to hold him down and look at the wound, then sprinkled a handful of plant ash, saying that Xiong Xianjin was on the mountain If he had such an injury when he was a soldier, he would have dared to call out like that, and the squad leader would have given him twenty lashes to relieve the pain, but Village Chief Zhao finally granted him a day off."

Han Li laughed at this, and said that Xiong Jinjin was already much better than those little fresh meats of later generations.

I'm not in the mood to cook at night, but I have to eat this meal, otherwise tomorrow's situation will only be worse.

Yun Jingjing cut a piece of bacon and fried it until cooked, added enough water to it for three people, and finally took out the pancakes she baked with Hao Hongmei and the others yesterday, poured them into the pot together with the vegetables, rolled them, and they came out immediately. The bacon risotto in a lunch box is ready.

It is simple and quick to have vegetables, meat, staple food, and soup. If you don’t like it, you can add salt, vinegar, and pepper yourself.

While they were eating, the water in the pot outside had boiled, and the temperature in the bathroom had also risen.

Yun Yingying stayed to clean up the mess, and Yun Jingjing went home to get the clothes the two of them wanted to change.

Han Li sat on the kang, watching her bent over to wash the dishes.

Seeing that the arc she showed was too different from that of He Mi, Han Li thought that if he cultivated more, he should be able to reach another level.

Thinking about it, she stretched out his hand, Yun Yingying almost broke the bowl, and gave him a supercilious look and said.

"Don't make trouble, don't you see that I am busy, I will come out one step earlier than my sister later."

At this time, everyone smelled of sweat, and the most intimate contact was the same as before, and it would be inappropriate to get close.

In the next few days, everyone has been rushing to harvest soybeans. During this period, there are many small things and no big things.

Small things are basically created by the new educated youths, so many people have their work points deducted.

After all the soybeans have been harvested, they are all pulled to the sun-drying field to dry, and then they are ready to start rolling and threshing.

Han Li's harvest during this time was not small, he decomposed and collected the bean pods that were not found in the ground.

After these soybeans are dried, Han Li can keep them for fried soybeans to eat, get a small stone mill to grind soybean milk, or take them to the commune to exchange for tofu. In short, there are so many uses for it.

The beans on the grain drying field have not been finished yet, and many people have not yet recovered their physical strength.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts are all ready to be harvested. The names here are collectively referred to as "Qi", starting potatoes, starting sweet potatoes, and starting peanuts.

Working in the fields of these three crops is different from cutting bean stalks. Everyone is very motivated.

Because at this time, you can eat while working, as long as it is not too much, the team leader will at most mutter when they see it.

Today we are going to harvest sweet potatoes, and everyone went to the ground before dawn.

After arriving at the field, first send someone to cut off the sweet potato seedlings with a sickle.

Then it will be held aside by everyone for use, and you can pinch the leaves on it when you are free.

The rest will be pulled into the cowshed to feed the animals, and nothing on the sweet potato will be wasted.

Afterwards is the time that everyone is most looking forward to. The plows plowed by the oxen and horses will plow deeply from the middle of the ridge with sweet potatoes.

At this time, those who can hold the plow are veterans, and ordinary people have no chance to get started.

After the plow has passed, most of the sweet potatoes will be exposed. At this time, everyone will first pick up the surface ones.

At this time, the big sweet potatoes were thrown into the baskets, and after they were filled, they were carried to the side of the road and waited to be taken away together.

Those sweet potatoes that were not too big became the targets of everyone. After picking them up, they rubbed them on their clothes twice, and gnawed them twice when the captain was not paying attention.

The captain also turned a blind eye to this, otherwise he could not have heard the sound of gnawing sweet potatoes all over the floor.

After picking it up once, everyone will hug it again with the target.

Hug out and pick up those sweet potatoes hidden in the soil, and it's not over here.

Everyone will use shovels and picks to dig deep again, trying not to let every sweet potato slip through the net.

The idea of ​​returning the granules to the warehouse is good, but even if you look through it so many times, there will still be a lot of sweet potatoes that slip through the net.

In previous years, these sweet potatoes would be poached by rats, educated youths, or children from the village.

But this year it's all cheaper for Han Li, and he has already figured out how to use the sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato porridge with cornmeal, dried sweet potato, roasted sweet potato in a brazier, etc.

The situation of everyone eating and working led to the fact that everyone ate less at noon today, and some people didn't even eat.

When getting off work in the evening, some people would even take advantage of the darkness to put a few pieces of sweet potatoes in their pockets, but this was done secretly.

On the face of it, Han Liming didn't take a piece of sweet potato, but when he got home, he arranged for the sweet potato.

Throw a few pieces under the stove first, and it will slowly become cooked while cooking.

As for cooking, it’s okay to eat well at this time to ensure everyone’s physical strength.

So in the evening, Yun Jingjing exchanged eggplants and stewed them in a pot with bacon, with corn tortillas on the side of the cauldron.

Today is another Susu day, and there is no other way.

After coming back every day, everyone smelled of sweat, and making out at this time was just uncomfortable.

After eating, Yun Yingying seemed to be falling apart.

If Yun Jingjing hadn't pulled her home, Yun Yingying would have been lying here to rest.

In the past few days, everyone has finished the sweet potatoes and peanuts. Both the educated youth and the villagers are very satisfied. After all, they have saved a lot of rations these days.

Needless to say, Han Li's gains, just picking up these things that fell from the ground, he can't eat them all by himself in two years.

Of course, eating this thing alone can’t handle it, but isn’t it necessary to collect corn later, that is the standard configuration of this era.

When walking into the potato field today, everyone's spirits were not so high, because potatoes cannot be eaten raw.

On the way, several villagers stopped at the edge of the sorghum field, looked at the red sorghum ears, and said that there were few green leaves left.

"The sorghum can also be harvested. Harvesting sorghum is a laborious job."

Han Li didn't quite understand it at first, he thought it would be easier to harvest sorghum when it was tall.

At least it doesn't look like he has to bend over all the time when cutting beans, but the reality is soon handed over to him as a man.

Sorghum stalks are tall and thick, and it is much more difficult to cut than bean stalks. The key is that harvesting sorghum requires baling.

Han Li looked at the villagers as they were when they were cutting bean stalks. He held the sorghum stalks with one hand and brandished a sickle with the other.

Use your knees to prop up the sorghum poles and walk forward, and start to bundle when your arms can no longer hold them.

Pull out two sorghum stalks with your hands, and twist each other with your left and right hands to form a "waist".

Then use this kidney to bundle the cut sorghum into a big one, put it behind you and start cutting again.

When the cut is over, the villagers will hold the sickle to their waists and start hugging the bundled sorghum bundles.

The sorghum bales are first formed into a gable, and then the sorghum bales continue to be filled around it.

The sorghum has been piled up into a "sorghum pile" like a pointed tent, and then the next harvest begins.

So cutting sorghum is not only a laborious job, but also a technical job.

It was only after half a trip that Han Li was able to skillfully bundle. As for piling up sorghum, there was no problem.

When Han Li got off work, he looked into the field, and there were sorghum scattered all over the ground.

The reason why everyone piled up the sorghum like this is because the grain drying ground has not been vacated yet.

Stacking sorghum in this way can prevent moisture and reduce the harm of mice.

When there is a place in the grain drying field, everyone will pull all the sorghum back for simple shelling.

After a few days of busy work like this, only the corn left in the field has not been recycled.

However, Captain Liang said that as long as there is a position in the sun-drying field, it will start to be collected immediately.

The past two days have been threshing, shelling, threshing, lifting, drying, and bagging.

During the chat, the villagers said that the weather this year was very good, and everyone saved a lot of things.

Of course Han Li asked if he didn't know, and the villagers said that it was cold and snowy early in the year.

The dryness of the grain did not meet the standard for handing in, and the urging from above was very tight.

So everyone moved all the grain to the kang, and used the kang to dry the grain little by little.
