Chapter 114 Is there any way to harvest the grain earlier?
When Xiao Chengjin returned home at noon that day, he talked to Xiao Dashan about the summer vacation.
Xiao Dashan pondered for a long time while holding his pipe, and finally shook his head. "It's only been a short while since the literacy class started, and it's already on holiday. What are you and Ruanruan doing during the holiday? Going to the fields to earn work points? It just so happens that classes were suspended before, and the students have missed a lot of courses. You should make up for it."
Xiao Dashan had said so, what could Xiao Chengjin say? Before the afternoon class, he told Su Runruan this.
Su Ruanruan didn't mind teaching the children every day, but she thought of something else.
In the previous life, the harvest was not good.
After a whole summer of drought, it rained heavily for a week during the autumn harvest.
After the rain stopped, people from each team hurried to the fields to harvest food, but they found nothing.
A lot of grain was washed into the ground and even sprouted.
Originally, last year's harvest was not good, so this year everyone gritted their teeth and tightened their belts, waiting for the distribution of food after the autumn harvest so that they could provide good food for their families.
After the heavy rain that week, not only was there no food to feed my family, but after paying the public grain tax, the remaining food might not last until the beginning of next spring.
Su Ruanruan clearly remembered that in her previous life, after the autumn harvest, life became even more difficult for every household.
Life is hard and people are becoming more and more impetuous.
It is common for friction to arise over trivial matters, leading to fights.
There were also people who were extremely hungry and they would steal chickens and dogs, and even sneak into other people's homes in the middle of the night to steal food.
After the spring of the second year, every household had almost no surplus food, so they could only dig up all the edible wild vegetables and cook them.
But how many wild vegetables can there be? There are so many people in the production team, and the wild vegetables cannot grow fast enough for so many people to pick them.
Without wild vegetables, some people began to dig up grass roots and peel tree bark, and stuffed anything they saw and could eat into their mouths without any regard for the consequences.
There were even families who couldn't find anything to eat and started eating Guanyin soil.
Guanyin clay is white and smooth. When it is added with water and made into flour, the steamed buns made from it look like they are made from white flour.
But once you eat this thing, you can't poop it out, and many people end up suffocating to death.
When she died, her body was so thin that her bones were visible, but her belly looked like that of a pregnant woman who was several months pregnant. It was scary to look at.
Thinking of the things that happened in her past life, Su Runrun's face turned extremely pale, and cold sweat kept dripping from her temples.
Xiao Chengjin waited for a long time for Su Ruanruan to speak. When he looked up, he saw Su Ruanruan looking frightened. He was immediately startled, "Ruanruan, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Xiao Chengjin's shout brought Su Ruanruan back from her memories, and her eyes, which had originally been out of focus, gradually regained their spirit.
However, Xiao Chengjin still discovered that there was an lingering fear in Su Runrun's eyes.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong with you? Tell me if you have anything to say, I will definitely help you solve it."
Xiao Chengjin's voice was loud and clear.
No matter what it is, as long as Su Ruanruan says it, he will do it if he can, and he will do it if he can't! Su Ruanruan's eyes moved slowly, and his gaze fell on Xiao Chengjin's face, "Chengjin, tell me, is there any way to harvest the grain earlier?"
Xiao Chengjin didn't expect to hear such a question, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The crops in the fields must be harvested when they are ripe, how can they be harvested earlier?
