Chapter 15 Autumn Harvest

Chapter 15 Autumn Harvest
Recently, many people in the village saw Mai Dalang's family cutting sugar cane, but they didn't know what they were doing with the hard sweet grass.

"Duoer, with so much sugar, let's save a catty or two to eat, and sell the rest?"

Mai Dalang asked Mai Duoduo for advice. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the [-]th of August is coming. There must be many people who need to buy sugar.

Such good brown sugar tablets must be very popular, and 25 to [-] yuan a catty must be no problem.

Mai Dalang was thinking beautifully.

"Father, the autumn harvest will soon be on August [-]th, why don't we make mooncakes and sell them!" Mai Duoduo looked at Mai Dalang and said.

"The dowry gift from the Liang family is one hundred catties of flour. It's still early on the tenth day of October. Let's make mooncakes and sell them, and then we can buy them for the banquet."

Liu Guihua thought for a while and said, "That's okay, but mother is worried that the mooncakes made by mother will not taste good, and no one will buy them."

"Mom, there's me!" Mai Duoduo patted his chest.

"Okay, then we will start harvesting corn tomorrow. After harvesting corn, we can also harvest rice." Mai Dalang was in a good mood, and finally waited for the autumn harvest, so he no longer had to worry about food.

Just after dawn, Mai Duoduo heard the sound of Liu Guihua feeding the pigs in the yard. The whole family was going to harvest corn today.

She also has to get up quickly, so as not to be in a hurry later.

Putting on his clothes, he went to the yard, saw the wheat field, and the wheat field also got up, and Mai Dalang came in from the outside carrying water.

Mai Duoduo was very touched: this family is full of positive energy every day.

After breakfast, each of them locked the door with a basket on their backs and set off for the corn field!

On the road, I met a villager who came out to carry water. The villager said hello and asked, "Where is the family going so early?"

Mai Dalang: "Collect corn."

"Oh, I have to go home quickly and ask my mother-in-law to collect corn." The villager hurried home.

There was also an old lady who wanted to go hogweed and turned around and told her family to harvest corn when she heard about it.

This is the butterfly effect of the autumn harvest in the countryside. I wanted to wait a few more days before harvesting, but when I saw someone harvesting it, I couldn't sit still.

When he arrived at the corn field, Mai Duoduo saw the whole family rushing to pick the corn cobs. This kind of messy harvesting method would delay work and easily miss harvest.

Thinking of the method of division of labor, Mai Duoduo shouted to Mai Dalang: "Father, I have a way, that is, to collect quickly and cleanly."

Everyone stopped and looked at Mai Duoduo.

"Father, it's a very simple way. We can't do it right now, and pick randomly in rows or rows, and it's easy to miss the harvest. Everyone queues up from the head of the field, and each person is responsible for two rows, and the harvest continues."

"And when the baskets are full, they will be carried over here and piled up in a pile."

"Mother, you don't need to take it anymore, just be responsible for cutting corn stalks behind us."

Liu Guihua didn't understand Mai Duoduo's meaning for a while, and stood there in a daze.

And Mai Dalang had already understood what Mai Duoduo said about stealing the door, looked at the dazed Liu Guihua and said, "Her mother, what Duoer said is correct."

"Oh, okay." Liu Guihua put down the basket, took out a sickle and followed behind the four of them.

In an hour's time, all the corn cobs in an acre of land were harvested.

Leaving the corn field to guard, the four of them went home with the corn on their backs.

Mai Duoduo felt that it was time-consuming and tiring to carry such a basket, and thought that there should be a wheelbarrow in the village, right?

"Father, who in our village has a wheelbarrow?" Mai Duoduo asked.

Mai Tian immediately responded, "Uncle Wang next door has it."

Mai Duoduo asked again: "Mom, do you have a sack at home?"

"There are many, but there is no food."

"Okay then, take seven or eight sacks and borrow Uncle Wang's wheelbarrow, and you can get them back in one go."

"Tian'er, go and borrow a car from Uncle Wang, I'll go find a sack, mother, go and boil some tea." Mai Dalang said.

Mai Duoduo thought that there were still some mung beans at home, so he said to Liu Guihua, "Mother, I will stay at home and cook mung bean syrup for everyone."

"Okay, then I will go to the field with your father." Then he turned and went out.

Mai Duoduo had a premonition that according to the speed at which her family harvested corn, her family would be the one with the fastest harvest this autumn.

 Dear, move your fingers to give the stupid author five stars, please?
