Text Chapter 316: The problem of cutting wheat

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Otters give birth and panthers become pregnant.  Today can be said to be a double happiness.  No, it should be three blessings, and my wife's article was published in the newspaper.

    Since he learned that there were two more little otters in the courtyard, Liu Junhao went to the entrance of the cave every day to watch, but who knew that the two little guys were still unwilling to show their true colors in Lushan.  He originally thought something was wrong, but after searching online, he found out that the growth and development of otter cubs is extremely slow. It usually takes more than a month after birth to open their eyes to see the world.

    During this period, Daiyu also fully fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and cared deeply about the two little guys. Except for occasionally going into the backyard to hunt for food, she spent most of her time in the cave with her children.

    As June enters, people in the village are obviously becoming impatient.  The main reason is the rainy weather. At this point, the wheat is in the grain-filling period and will be harvested in ten to eight days, but God keeps raining.  If things continue like this, the wheat is likely to sprout directly in the ground. In this case, the harvest will be basically lost for most of the year.

    To say that there are a lot of other income of the villagers in the past two years, that is, the wheat is completely bad in the ground, but it is thought that the results of labor have been turned.  How could it not be distressing.

    Fortunately, God still has some sympathy.  After a week of rain, the weather finally cleared up, and all the dark clouds in the villagers' minds dissipated.  The people in the village were sharpening their knives, and the whole family, old and young, drove the oxen, pushed the carts, and ran toward the wheat fields with sickles in their hands.

    Liujiagou Primary School has also officially started its wheat holiday. It rained a few days ago, and Liu Junhao has been staying at home with nowhere to go.  I usually spend most of my time surfing the Internet, or playing a few games of chess with Professor Zhao, and my whole body is about to get moldy.  When the weather cleared up, he felt like stretching his muscles and was going to take Xiaopi for a walk in the mountains with his wife.

    "What are you going to do? Don't you see that everyone is busy?" Zhang Qian directly rejected his decision.

    "What, you don't want to help other people cut wheat, do you?" The couple had a good understanding of each other, and he could guess a little bit of his wife's thoughts.

    "Of course, labor is glorious, let's go help Aunt Six's family cut wheat."

    "If you want to help, let me go. You can rest in the house. After teaching for such a long time, you finally have a chance to take a rest." Liu Junhao felt sorry for his wife and didn't want her to bask in the field.  Of course, there is another meaning. She can't help much if she goes there, and she will only cause trouble for others.

    "It's okay. If I'm tired, I can sit on the ground and rest." Zhang Qian wanted to feel the busy atmosphere of the wheat field.

    Unable to resist his wife, Liu Junhao had no choice but to help her sharpen the sickle.  As soon as the couple went out, they happened to meet Teacher Wang drying clothes in the yard.  Teacher Wang was very curious when he saw the two men carrying sickles.  He opened his mouth and asked, "What are you two planning to do? Are you going to the river to cut slender grass?"

    "No, I'm helping to cut wheat for Aunt Six's family." Zhang Qian waved her sickle, looking at her posture, it seemed like she would have to put in a lot of effort later.

    "Oh, wait for me for a while. I will discuss it with your Uncle Zhao and go over to help." Teacher Wang quickly hung the remaining clothes on the rope to dry, and then went into the room to call someone.

    Soon, Professor Zhao was also pulled out.

    The four of them put on straw hats and carried kettles, and Zhang Qian also carried a small horse in her hand.  This situation does not look like working in the fields, but rather like going on an outing.

    Liu Junhao helped his sixth aunt¡¯s family cut wheat once last year, so he is quite familiar with this land.

    Before they reached the end of the field, they saw Er Mazi driving a few sheep and walking leisurely towards them, hands behind their backs.

    "Uncle Guangxi, why aren't you cutting wheat? Everyone is so busy?" Liu Junhao asked strangely.  This man is still herding sheep at all times.

    "I just went to the field and took a look. The wheat in the field is still a little green. Cutting at this time will save 70 to 80 kilograms of grain. Besides, there is no need to panic this year. As long as it doesn't rain, it won't matter if it is delayed by 20 days.  "Er Mazi drove the sheep to the roadside and stopped chatting with everyone there.  There are ditches blocking both sides of the road, so there is no fear of sheep eating other people's crops.

    "Why is this?" Several people came and were surprised.

    "When I went to the street to buy beef the day before yesterday, I heard Lao Guo say that harvesters from other places are coming to our Daqingshan this year. Think about it, one acre of land costs dozens of yuan. After harvesting, they will give you a good land, which will save you trouble.  . So, this year I plan to use a harvester to cut wheat." Er Mazi explained with a smile.

    "That's it," everyone understood. No wonder this man was so relaxed.  Although wheat harvesting outside has long been mechanized, Qingshan Town is blocked by mountains and large machinery cannot enter at all, so everyone can only rely on manpower.  However, after the road was opened two years ago, there were obviously more machines in the town.  Apart from anything else, many people in Liujiagou alone have bought four-wheelers.  Qingshan Town mainly grows wheat, and the arrival of harvesters will definitely make a big difference.

      "Then why don't you tell the villagers so that they don't rush to cut it with their hands first?" Liu Junhao asked a little strangely. This kind of thing is not a big secret, so it doesn't matter if you tell the villagers.

    "I've told you before, but they don't believe it. I haven't seen the harvester yet. What if the wheat doesn't come and the wheat explodes in the field? I think they are worried about money. One or two of them have made a fortune in the past two years.  We have to save this small amount of money." Er Mazi looked unhappy when he talked about this topic.

    After chatting with Er Mazi for a few words, everyone turned and ran towards Aunt Six's wheat field.

    For the arrival of several people.  Aunt Six naturally expressed her welcome and even said it was troublesome for them.

    After drinking two sips of water, Liu Junhao bent down and started busy.  The weather had just cleared and the ground was still a little damp, so the mowing was not fast at first.  When the sun became hotter and the ground gradually became dry, Liu Junhao's speed suddenly increased, and in a short while, he was six or seven meters ahead of everyone else.  Seeing that my wife was lagging far behind, I cut off her head and eliminated that part of her as well.

    Zhang Qian¡¯s performance in the morning was good. Although she moved a little slower, she didn¡¯t complain about it all morning.

    With more people and greater strength, in half a day¡¯s work, you can see the edge of the field, and there is probably one-tenth of the wheat left to be harvested.  Aunt Six thought that they were here to help, so she naturally had to go back early at noon to prepare meals.  Unexpectedly, everyone saw that it was about to be completed, and they all said that they would go home after cutting.

    In this way, I didn¡¯t go home hastily for dinner until half past twelve.

    Mr. Zhao and his wife were able to persist in the afternoon. After all, they were trained by going to the mountains and countryside when they were young.  But Zhang Qian started to complain, and there was a purple blood blister on her hand.

    Liu Junhao felt very distressed and quickly pulled his wife to sit down on the ground.

    Who knew that Zhang Qian was embarrassed this time and wanted to help him make wheat waist.  It was an easy job, and Liu Junhao nodded in agreement.

    the next morning.  Zhang Qian was lying on the bed and couldn't get up, saying that her back ached and she didn't want to have breakfast.  It was Liu Junhao who pulled her up from the bed after finishing the meal.

    Seeing how tired my wife was, I originally planned to let her rest at home while I went over to help.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian said nothing and insisted on going together.  He really didn't understand his wife's thoughts. She didn't want to experience the joy of a good harvest and she just wanted to feel guilty.

    As soon as the four of them went out, Er Mazi hurriedly passed by the door on his bicycle. Liu Junhao quickly stopped and asked him what he was doing.

    "What can we do? Go to the fields and tell everyone not to cut the wheat." Er Mazi hurriedly stopped the car and answered.

    "What's wrong?" I don't know what happened to him these two days.  He always says things that are baffling.

    "The harvester has arrived in town, and I asked them to come to our village to harvest it in the morning. But when they heard that only ten acres of land was too little, there was not enough gas money to go back and forth. Didn't I go to the field to contact and ask?  Which other families want to use harvesters to cut wheat? If there is no one here, I can only cut it manually." After Er Mazi finished speaking, he hurriedly jumped into the car.

    "This man" Liu Junhao didn't know what to say about him.

    When we arrived at the land, we saw from a distance that Mr. Wang was leading a few old people to work in the wheat field of Mr. Liu Wu¡¯s house. Their posture was even more terrifying, with more than a dozen people waving sickles at the ground.

    Yesterday, six laborers, large and small, harvested a total of two acres of wheat.  Today's victory was even more brilliant. In half a day's effort, two acres of wheat was completely knocked down.

    In the afternoon, Er Mazi finally invited the harvester.  People in the nearby fields dropped what they were doing and came over to take a look.  While looking at it, I admired it in my mouth.

    "Good guy, it's so fast to cut. In just ten minutes, more than an acre of wheat has been cut."

    "That's right, look at this wheat, it's cleaner than a threshing machine. It's also easier than a threshing machine, and it doesn't require any manpower at all"

    After seeing the effect of the harvester, people who had not originally planned to use it also started thinking about it.

    In the middle of the crowd, Liu Junhao also saw Zhao Guangming.  He was wondering what this kid was doing in Liujiagou, and when he asked, he found out that it was he who contacted the harvester from the county.

    This guy is really smart and he is really trying every possible means to make money.

    With the arrival of the harvester, the wheat harvesting speed in Liujiagou has been greatly accelerated in the morning. The golden waves of wheat have disappeared, replaced by bags of plump seeds.  Aunt Six, encouraged by Zhang Qian, also used a harvester to cut the remaining land.

    At the end of the day, more and more people asked to use a harvester to cut wheat. The driver couldn't help but sigh: "The people in this village must be rich. It took only half a day to cut ten acres of land in Liwan in the morning. Today, five acres of land were cut in one afternoon."  It¡¯s more than ten acres, and there are so many people lining up, so we have to work overtime at night.¡±

    "That's natural. You'll know when you go to the village and take a look. Everything is uniform."Fangfang is a well-known wealthy village in Daqingshan.  "Zhao Guangming followed up with an explanation.

    This year¡¯s wheat harvest can be described as extremely fast. In three days, all plots of all sizes in Liujiagou had been harvested, except for a handful of plots that had gaps left to grow cotton.

    Because Er Mazi was the first to go to the street looking for a harvester, his family¡¯s master didn¡¯t collect a penny from the more than ten acres of wheat.  In the end, the man lamented that his help was not in vain.
