Chapter 271 The Great Harvest

"Master, why is that cow so close to you?" On the way back, even Jiang Hongguo couldn't help being curious and asked Wang Zhong.

"A cow is also a spiritual animal. I just saved its life. It is grateful to me, so it gets close to me." Although he said this, Wang Zhong felt faintly, as if he had just used his true energy to help the old cow push his kung fu. Excess blood, stimulate the stomach and intestines, and expel feces and foreign bodies.

"Master, how come the cotton can bring out the nails eaten into the stomach?" Jiang Hongguo nodded, and asked another puzzling thing.

"In fact, cotton can only absorb some fine particles. It is impossible to bring out something as big as an iron nail in theory. However, cotton can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Coupled with appropriate guidance and massage, it is similar to the massage in Chinese medicine. It is possible to bring out the nail, but the possibility is too low, it still depends on luck, I can only say that Niu Bold and the others are very lucky."

"Fortunately, it was brought out!" Jiang Hongguo said happily.

"Indeed!" Wang nodded, otherwise, the cow would only be at the dinner table.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, how could there be nails in the grass, and there seemed to be a lot of them. Wang Zhong guessed that the nails in the grass were probably put in artificially. The lame old cow is hungry and wants to eat meat.

Of course these are just guesses.

Wang Zhong changed his voice: "I have drawn more than half of the blueprints for the new stove, and I almost know it in my heart. I will set up a car later to transport the bricks back first, and I will dismantle the old stove in the afternoon. The official work will be done tomorrow." Start work."

"Then I'll dig some more yellow mud later!" Jiang Hongguo said after thinking about it.

Wang Zhong knew that Jiang Hongguo was restless, so he didn't refuse.

The couple returned home, Wang Zhongcong pulled the cart out of the back door, Jiang Hongguo took the cow out of the cowshed, put it on the cart, tied the cow to a stake outside the house, and moved eight or nine vines with Jiang Hongguo. The frame and basket were tied to the frame with hemp rope, and Wang Zhong also got on the car.Walking in front, pulling the big ox and walking slowly towards the entrance of the village.

Jiang Hongguo went into the house and picked up a hoe, a shovel, a basket and a sieve, carried them on her shoulders, and left through the back door.

When ditches and weir ponds were dug a few years ago, the excavated soil was piled up in several places, and everyone agreed that if anyone wanted to use the soil, they would get it themselves.

The nearest one is not far from the field, but still some distance from the village.

Jiang Hongguo recited it a dozen times, reckoning it was almost enough, so she gave up.

Not long after Jiang Hongguo rested, Wang Zhong came back with the ox cart.

More than 200 pieces of red bricks, more than [-] pieces of blue bricks, some cement, fine sand and seven or eight pieces of steel bars about [-] centimeters were installed on the car.

There are not many things, but they are not light. When encountering uphill, Wang Zhong has to push the cart behind.

Without Jiang Hongguo's help, Wang Zhong moved all the things into the backyard by himself. After the things were moved, Wang Zhong drank a saliva and rested for a while. Demolished.

Early in the morning of the next day, just a short while after the genius was up, the three monkeys rushed over.

"Brother! When shall we start?" The three monkeys were gearing up, looking forward to it.

"Start now! Can you understand this drawing?" Wang Zhong handed the drawing of the stove he drew to the three monkeys, and the three monkeys happily took it.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Basic floor plan."

"what about this?"

"Section diagram."

"It's enough to have an idea in mind. I'll tell you later when I'm building, so you can understand it faster."

Several frames of red bricks were carried into the house, and the doors of the inner room were all closed.

"Let's start by mixing the cement mortar. This cement mortar is different from mud. It pays attention to the proportion. If the proportion of cement, fine sand and water is correct, the strength of the prepared mortar will be the same as that of bluestone after hardening... "

The blending was naturally in the courtyard, Wang Zhong spoke carefully, and the three monkeys listened carefully, explaining and doing it at the same time.

"This cement mortar is stable and has high strength, but it is not heat-resistant and is easy to burn and crack. Moreover, we don't have much cement mortar, so good steel must be used wisely, so we only use cement mortar on the foundation and build it first. A circle of outer feet, a layer of red bricks is laid on the bottom, gravel loess is filled inside, and yellow mud is used for the rest of the place..."

The original stove had only one hearth and one eye, and it could only heat one pot at a time. It was really troublesome to cook and boil water in turn.

The stove built by Wang Zhongzhong is a new-style firewood stove with a vent hole, and the original flue is still used, so the stove does not need to be moved.

If Wang Zhong did it by himself, he would be able to build the stove in half a day, but he still had to teach the three monkeys, so the speed would be slower. If you teach the craft with precepts and deeds, the speed will naturally not be fast.

It was almost noon, and the new stove, which was three times the size of the original stove, finally took shape.

The new stove has two large ones, one small and three stoves. The two big ones are sealed with two cast iron cauldrons, and the small one is a semi-open circular stove, which is specially used for boiling water. At the location of the gate, there is also a special space for firewood.

"Brother, why doesn't this stove have a bellows?" Looking at the shaped stove, the three monkeys realized it.

Wang Zhongdao: "The hole at the bottom is not only the hole for the ashes, but also the air inlet reserved in advance. There is no need for a bellows. As long as there is a fire in the stove, the air will come in here."

The three monkeys looked skeptical: "Can you get in the wind by yourself without using the bellows?"

"Don't believe me?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"No!" The three monkeys waved their hands again and again.

But Wang Zhong didn't care: "Wait three days later, after the maintenance period, when you officially start using it, you'll know if you come over and see for yourself!"

"Hey hey!" Three monkeys grinned.

"Although the job of a plasterer is not difficult, it takes effort to do it well. You kid, please pay more attention. If there is a chance later, let's go to the county town and pick up some jobs. Let you get started quickly. I can earn some spare money from time to time.”

"Brother, I will listen to you!" Three Monkeys said with a smile.

Three days later, the new stove was officially put into use. The three monkeys came over curiously to observe. After the firewood was lit, the stove was covered. Stir-frying, the steamed buns are almost steamed, so start cooking.

The pot heats up quickly, which saves firewood.

"Brother! You can make one for me some other day too?" The three monkeys looked at it and their eyes lit up.

"It's okay to be one, but you have the money, are you sure you don't want to talk about a daughter-in-law first?" Wang Zhong asked.

The three monkeys sighed: "It's not that easy!"

"Sister Jinhua is pretty good!"

The three monkeys immediately felt embarrassed, and they looked like a big girl.

"Brother! I..."

"Sister-in-law Jinhua is a nice person. Although she is a widow, she is diligent and capable. She looks good and has a kind temper. Your sister-in-law has a good relationship with Mrs. Jinhua. If you really like her, I will ask your sister-in-law to help you find out about Mrs. Jinhua Mouth."

"Of course, if you don't like it, forget it, and I will say it for nothing."

The three monkeys were a little moved, but hesitant: "Sister Jinhua is good, but she is a widow after all."

It can be seen that Sanhouzi is indeed interested in Mrs. Jinhua, but because of her status as a widow, Sanhouzi has a lump in her heart. After all, Sanhouzi is a strong guy with land and land, healthy limbs, and a fairly prosperous life. The eldest daughter is still thinking about it.

"Want to find the eldest daughter of Huanghua?"

The three monkeys nodded immediately.

It's no wonder that the boy was so enthusiastic about letting Mrs. Jinhua join the mutual aid group, but later he didn't see any other actions. Now it seems that it may have something to do with Lao Ganbang marrying Han Chunmei.

Han Chunmei is not only the eldest daughter of Huanghua, but also young and upright, with quick hands and feet and hard work. Now she and Lao Ganbang are living a prosperous life, and they are well-known in the village.

"Then you should go to Mrs. Ma, what's the use of looking for me." Wang Zhong said: "I'm not a matchmaker, except for our Maixiang Village, where in the ten miles and eight towns, I don't know which one has a girl to marry."

"I've entrusted Mrs. Ma to help me find it a long time ago, haven't I never believed it!" The three monkeys sighed.

"It shouldn't be. Although Mrs. Ma has a bit of a bad mouth, she still has a hand in mediators." Wang Zhong looked at the three monkeys with a smile and said: "You won't be the one who picked the fat and the thin, that's why it didn't work all the time." Bar?"

"Hey hey!" The three monkeys rubbed the back of their heads and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just want to find someone who looks good."

"Xiao Zhuan looks quite handsome, but he doesn't like to dress up, and his face is dirty all day long."

"If I can't eat enough, I've been thinking about Xiaozhuan for a long time. I hang around in front of Xiaozhuan all day long, showing courteousness. Where can I get my turn?" said the three monkeys.

Wang Zhongdao: "There is no such thing as first-come-first-served chasing big girls. This common saying goes well, marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, don't you think that you are not as good as not being full?"

"That can't be done!" The three monkeys immediately retorted: "That guy who can't get enough to eat, is lazy and slippery all day long, how can I not compare to him!"

"That's it." Wang Zhong said: "If you really like Xiao Zhuan, you can boldly chase after him, even if you don't have enough to eat, you know how to be courteous in front of him, if you don't spend more time, which girl will marry you? "

"This old saying is good, a friend's wife, don't be bullied. Although I haven't read many books, I'm not someone who doesn't understand the truth. Isn't this the brotherhood between caring and not having enough to eat!" said the three monkeys .

Wang Zhong shook his head: "You have been a housekeeper before, can this kind of thing be allowed?"

The three monkeys laughed.

Look at this, the three monkeys who co-authored didn't think about Xiaozhuan at all.

"If you really want to find a virtuous girl, I think of someone." Wang Zhong looked at the three monkeys and suddenly smiled.

"Which one is it?" The three monkeys asked eagerly, their eyes lit up.

"Deng'er!" Wang Zhong said.

The three monkeys hurriedly shook their heads, with a look of disappointment on their faces: "Deng'er likes Brother Bold!"

"There is nothing between Deng'er and Brother Bold!" Wang Zhong said: "Brother Bold swore in front of his father's spirit in front of all of us that he would never marry Denger in his life! Brother Bold has always spoken count."

"That's not my turn!" Three Monkeys said.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either!" Wang Zhong said angrily, "You don't want to marry a fairy in the sky!"

"That's not what I mean!" Three Monkeys hurriedly explained: "I just want to find someone who is similar to Mrs. Chunmei, with a more upright appearance, hardworking hands and feet, who will live a good life."

Wang Zhongdao: "This old saying is good, marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, this woman marries, isn't she just trying to have a good life? You can eat white flour steamed buns every day, but you still worry about not being able to find a handsome and virtuous girl?"

The three monkeys' eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on their faces: "My brother still makes sense."

······
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the marriage of the three monkeys is still not settled. Wang Zhong went to find Mrs. Ma. After asking, she found out that Mrs. Ma introduced two girls from the neighboring villages for the three monkeys. Unfortunately, the three monkeys didn't like them.

In the blink of an eye, the summer harvest came, and everyone in the cooperative gathered together again, but this year the number of people has changed from the original six to the current eight, with the addition of Jiang Hongguo and Ma Renxiang, who is not as agile as ordinary people. His name is Lame Horse.

Early in the morning, before dawn, smoke was lit in the village, and every farmer's cooperative stood Wang Zhong from his own community on the field ridge, and said to the crowd: "This year's wheat harvest is still the old rule, we male comrades You are mainly responsible for charging ahead, and the female comrades are mainly responsible for logistics and threshing, Ma Renli, your main task this year is also to harvest wheat."

"President, don't worry, I will try my best." Ma Renli said with a smile.

"Renxiang, what about you?"

Ma Renxiang patted his chest and said, "No problem."

Wang Zhong's eyes swept across the crowd: "It's still the same as before, you can rest when you're tired, but if you steal and play tricks and take the opportunity to be lazy, I won't show favoritism, just do whatever you want."

There is no such thing as a circle without rules. As early as the beginning of the establishment of the mutual aid group, Wang Zhong made an agreement with everyone on the rules. If anyone steals, rapes, cheats, or does not work hard, once they are discovered, a certain amount of grain will be deducted when they are harvested.

If he doesn't want to, it's easy. In name, he is still in the mutual aid group, but everyone will stop working for him in the coming year, so just exclude him.

In this period of low productivity, if there is no group of people to keep warm together, if one is alone, it will be more tiring to work and the efficiency will be even lower.

"Ma Renli, especially you, it doesn't matter if you are slower, but if you dare to steal and play tricks, don't blame me, the president, for being ruthless." Wang Zhong once again mentioned Ma Renli.

"President, don't worry, I will work hard!" Ma Renli patted his chest and promised that in the first two years, Ma Renli had not lost food, and the food withheld was equally distributed to other hard-working people.

"Okay, let's get started while it's still early!"

With a wave of Wang Zhong's hand, everyone buried their heads and began to cut the wheat. After a while, Wang Zhong rushed to the front.

The female comrades were also in the wheat harvesting team at the beginning, and when a large crop of wheat of half an acre was harvested, the three female comrades, Jin Huasao, Han Chunmei, and Jiang Hongguo, began to thresh the wheat.

A windmill is not a rare item, but this thresher is really very rare. Even if it exists, the braking method is not the pedal type, but the one similar to the sewing machine pedal.

Between the two, it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, it can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages!

But obviously this bicycle pedal brake mode is more suitable for this kind of joint work mode.

For a bundle of wheat, it only takes a few seconds to complete the threshing by placing the ears of wheat on the roll paper, and the scale of the threshing machine can be threshed by two people at the same time.

After the threshing is completed, the threshed wheat straw is piled up in one place. Mrs. Jinhua and Han Chunmei have already experienced several summer harvests, and they are so familiar with the threshing machine that they can't be more familiar with it. The two quickly walked back and forth between the wheat fields, and the heavy wheat straw The ears are placed on the drum of the thresher by flipping back and forth a few times, and the grains of wheat are blown away by the drum like rain, hit the covering tarpaulin, and then bounce back into the wooden barrel below.

The speed of Wang Zhong, Lao Ganbang, Three Monkeys, Ma Renli, and a cripple was only barely able to keep up with the speed of Jin Huasao and Han Chunmei's threshing speed.

In two and a half days, the wheat fields of all members of the cooperative were harvested.

Although the wheat has been taken back to the home from the field, this is only the beginning. Next, the wheat will be dried, passed through the windmill twice, and then weighed for statistics.

Since threshers have been popularized in Maixiang Village, the mode on the wheat field has also changed. Some rural cooperatives have agreed to cut the wheat first, and then carry it back from the field to the wheat field. Threshing, and then drying on the spot.

Under the unified dispatch of the village committee, each cooperative has divided its own wheat field.

The emergence of the thresher has greatly shortened the time for harvesting wheat, but it also takes time to dry the wheat, and it also depends on the face of God. If the recovered wheat is not dried and dehydrated in time, it will be the same even if it is placed in a sack or in a warehouse. get mouldy.

Fortunately, this year, God has given me some face. It hasn’t rained for more than half a month. Almost all the folks in Maixiang Village live in the wheat field, drying the wheat, passing the windmill, bagging, weighing, and storing.

"96 catties." The three monkeys shouted out the data of the last bag.

Ma Renli sat behind the desk, took a pen and quickly recorded the number on a piece of paper. Ma Renli, who had gone to college, naturally became the accountant of the No. [-] Agricultural Production Cooperative of Maixiang Village.

"Hurry up, get all the statistics!" Wang Zhong knocked on the table and said.

While flicking the abacus, Ma Renli wrote and drew in the notebook. After a while, he put away the pen with a smile on his face.

Ma Renli looked at Wang Chong and said, "President, the statistics are ready!"

Wang Zhong hummed: "After the statistics are completed, read them to everyone!"

Everyone looked at Ma Renli expectantly. Ma Renli picked up the notebook, put his fist against his mouth, coughed twice, and said: "We still follow the old rules, let's talk one by one. 680 jin of wheat, 430 mu of raw land and 110 jin of harvested wheat, totaling [-] jin of wheat."

"Next is Niu Youdao. The cultivated land is three mu and two cents, and the harvested wheat is 710 and six catties. The raw land is three mu and two cents, and the wheat harvest is five hundred and six catties, totaling 220 and two catties."

"And then there is Ma Renyi, who harvested 630 and 390 catties of wheat on two acres of cultivated land, and harvested [-] and two catties of wheat on two acres of raw land, a total of [-] catties."

"Sister-in-law Jinhua, the cultivated land is two mu and four cents, the harvested wheat is 560 two catties, the raw land is two mu and six cents, the wheat harvest is 410 eight catties, a total of 980 catties."

"Ma Renli, two acres of cultivated land, five hundred and eight catties of wheat harvest, two acres of eight acres of raw land, 450 six cents of wheat harvest, a total of 960 four catties."

"Ma Renxiang..."

"This year's summer harvest, our No. 290 Production Cooperative will harvest 260 kilograms of wheat, an increase of [-] kilograms compared to last year." Ma Renli is also very happy. This year's wheat harvest is considered to be a bumper harvest. Part, the rest, is enough for a year.

Everyone applauded one after another, their palms turned red, and they cheered loudly, with smiles on their faces, full of satisfaction and happiness.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Zhong coughed dryly twice, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, let me say a few words!"

"Although our output this year has increased by more than 3000 catties compared to last year, it is because of the addition of Comrade Ma Renxiang, and the cultivated area has also increased a lot compared to last year. However, the output of rehmannia this year is indeed much more than last year. Less, this shows that everyone's hard work has not been in vain, but we can't be proud, we must continue to work hard, and strive to increase the yield of the ten acres of raw land that have only been developed in the past few years next year."

"Do you have confidence?" Wang Zhong deliberately raised his voice.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

The yield per mu of cultivated land exceeds [-] jin, but there is still a long way to go before [-] jin. This is changing the distance between wheat plants, the way of spreading fertilizer, and using irrigation canals to ensure winter irrigation and spring irrigation, weeding and pest control day after day, The result of careful care.

If one really wants to increase the production of wheat, one still has to improve the variety of wheat. In terms of productivity, Wang Zhong cannot improve it by himself. It can only be realized after the development of science and technology.

Although everyone was in high spirits, everyone's brows were full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

From the beginning of the wheat harvest to the present, it has been almost a week. Everyone's spirits are highly tense, and their bodies are overloaded. They dare not relax for a moment. Until now, the harvested wheat can be put into storage immediately. Only then did my heart really let go.

Seeing the bags of wheat carried into the warehouse, the smile on Jiang Hongguo's face never broke. This is the joy brought by the harvest.

"How long will it take to eat so much wheat?" Jiang Hongguo was born as a poor farmer and has lived for more than 20 years. No matter when she was a girl at home or after she got married, there was never so much wheat in the barn at home.

"In a few days, we have to pay the public rations together!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "After paying the public rations, the rest is our own."

"That's a lot!" Jiang Hongguo said: "When we were in our hometown, we worked hard all year long. It was the fattest irrigated land, and the maximum output per mu was just over two hundred catties. It's not like us. Here, even the land on the half slope has become irrigated land, yielding [-] to [-] catties per mu."

"Head of the family, I heard Mrs. Jinhua and Mrs. Chunmei say that you also came up with these methods of farming in the village?" Jiang Hongguo looked at Wang Zhong with a strange light in his eyes, which was called worship.

"Not all of them, some of them are also suggested by Ma Renli!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Master, is there anything else you don't know?" Jiang Hongguo looked at Wang Zhong curiously.

Wang Zhong walked up to Jiang Hongguo, leaned into her ear, and whispered, "Have a baby!"

Jiang Hongguo blushed instantly, bit her lower lip tightly, and suppressed a smile.

"Now that we have enough food and clothing at home, it's time for us to have a baby!" Wang Zhong stood in front of Jiang Hongguo, pinching his chin, with a serious look.

Jiang Hongguo turned sideways, not daring to look at Wang Zhong: "This child can be born as soon as it is said to be born."

Wang Zhong smiled slightly and said: "I said yes, of course it is!"

"I've been busy for a long time. I'll clean up again. You should take a shower first, and then cook after you take a shower."

Jiang Hongguo nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."

After finishing the rest of the work, go out of the backyard and push the bullock cart into the yard, tie the back door, and bolt the passages leading to the front yard, go to the main room, and listen to the sound in the bathroom. With the sound of dripping water, Wang Zhong took off his clothes that were covered in wheat dust.

"Guo'er, are you done washing?"

"not yet!"

"Oh!"

Wang Zhong responded, and went straight into the bathroom, Jiang Hongguo was almost not startled.

"I haven't finished washing yet!" Jiang Hongguo blushed.

Wang Zhong said solemnly: "It's too slow for one person to wash. Besides, two people wash together can save a lot of water! It's a multi-purpose thing."

Listening to Wang Zhong's serious nonsense, Jiang Hongguo's beautiful eyes flickered, a little bit coquettish, she took the initiative to walk behind Wang Zhong, and gently helped Wang Zhong wash his hair and rub his back.

This wash took a full hour.

When she came out of the bathroom, Jiang Hongguo's face was flushed, Wang Zhong was refreshed, his body and mind were clear, and the exhaustion from working all day was swept away.

There are many benefits to taking a bath.
