A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 87 [087] After the Public Grain

My aunt’s output is a little higher than their family’s, about 1700 catties, so I paid 850 catties of grain, and their family paid 780 catties, and each family paid 50.00% of the tax. So far, my uncle’s family has left 850 catties of grain, and their family has left 780 catties. The catty of grain is regarded as the work for the autumn harvest, which has come to an end.

At noon, they just chewed a few mouthfuls of the dry biscuits they baked when they came out this morning, and then drank some water they brought from home. It's not like some people who have to have the cheek to borrow water from nearby people. How embarrassing it is, and you may even get stared at. If you don't have enough to drink, naturally you won't lend it to others.

In the words of my uncle, if I don't borrow your money, don't bother us either.

Just like the two women carrying food, those who want to help will naturally come forward to help, but the two of them have been there for a long time, and no one came to help, which shows that no one wants to cause trouble for themselves. How can you borrow your own water again?

Don't borrow it, have you brought two children with you?

How heavy the steps were when they came, and how relaxed they were when they went back. Zhuo Jian had a good sleep and was full of energy. I didn't know it until I went to bed, and I missed a lunch.

When she woke up, A Niang was sleeping next to her, and Zhuo Jian was bleeding and pouted in her mother's arms. She rubbed her eyes and didn't want to disturb them.

I kicked and pulled my shoes and ran down the ground. Because I was hungry, I ran to the stove first. I saw two steamed buns in the iron pot, which were still warm when I touched them. I took them out and gnawed them. I saw them outside. The cucumber in the ground, I pulled one, rubbed off the fluff on it, took a bite and found that it hadn’t been washed, so I didn’t wash it at all, so I ate it like this, one bite of cornbread and one bite of cucumber, oh, this is crispy, sweet and full The feeling is simply too beautiful. Wonderful.

After she was full, she filled some cold boiled rice. After filling herself up, she felt energetic and ran to the backyard to ripen a row of peanuts.

Because these peanuts were planted early and had already germinated and sprouted, she ripened them to nine percent in advance, and after she ripened the rest of the peanuts, they would be fully ripe within two or three days. At that time, you can harvest a few months earlier than others, and then grow a crop.

The secret of their own land growing faster than others is already a big surprise within the Zhuo family. Probably because they have seen it a lot, they have long been familiar with it. Usually when this happens, A Niang will secretly plant the crops. Harvest, and then replant, this second crop can almost be harvested with others.

Because of this, she feels that after this year, her stomach will definitely not be as hungry as in the first half of the year. Recently, the faces of the children in the family are a little fleshy. They will work harder and wait for Zhuo Dajun to get it. With the first month's salary, you can eat meat.

In a few days, she will try to find a way to buy some suet and come back to endure it. The days without oil are really too difficult.

Because the paddy field was watered, the grass around and inside grew very fast, so after the mother-in-law woke up in the middle of the morning, they quickly took the two children down to weed the paddy field and tidy up the paddy field.

After finishing this side, she pushed the shelf cart to the river to pick up the water, and then pushed the water to water the vegetable field over there. It is hard work and not easy, yet so many people are wasting the food in our mouths, it is really reckless, it should not be.
