Chapter 58: Autumn Harvest Begins
Qin Zheng sat steadily in the kitchen, lighting the fire: "Don't worry, I won't let you be without a granddaughter-in-law."
Although Qin Zheng was talking to Grandma Bai, his eyes were looking at Tang Wan who was washing her hands.
When Tang Wan straightened up and looked back, she saw Grandma Bai pretending to raise the rolling pin in her hand: "You've finally stopped talking nonsense about not looking for a wife. You've shown some promise. I'll be waiting for you then."
"I'm going to be faster than Brother Zheng this time." Dongzi watched the fun from the side without feeling a bit upset, even a bit gloating.
Qin Zheng casually threw a piece of firewood at him, and he caught it in a panic and shut up.
"It's enough for you to know it in your mind." Grandma Bai said finally and did not bring up the topic again.
Time flies.
The corn in the fields is basically ripe, so now we go to work not in the fields but in the wheat field.
Clean up the threshing floor so that there will be a place to store the corn when it is harvested.
Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood, so for them, the corn can still grow for a few more days.
But just two days later, when I woke up in the morning, the captain's horn sounded.
The general meaning is that when they got up this morning, several old hands in the village looked at the weather and found that it would rain in a few days, so the corn harvest had to be brought forward.
These old hands have been farming all their lives, and based on changes in the land and the clouds, they can predict the weather for the next few days.
Several veterans said so, so this matter is a done deal.
Imminent.
The autumn harvest has begun!
Tang Wan had never experienced autumn harvest, and had rarely even heard of the term.
I have never seen such an autumn harvest scene.
Although it is almost autumn, the weather is still very hot. Standing on the road, you can almost see the heat waves ahead that distort the air.
When the unclear broadcast began, both Grandma Bai and Qin Zheng quickened their pace and finished their meals in just a few bites.
Grandma Bai found a basket and took away the few remaining steamed buns at home. She also filled a few cans with water.
It wasn't enough to do all this. A few people were wearing short-sleeved shirts for going to the wheat field. Grandma Bai found some long-sleeved shirts and asked Tang Wan to change into them as well.
Grandma Bai found a few more towels, one wet and one dry for each person.
Put wet hair on your neck to cool down, put dry hair on your head and wear a hat, which not only blocks the sun but also prevents corn leaves from scratching your face.
After finishing the work, several people hurried to the meeting point.
Because everyone went out after hearing the broadcast, they met a lot of people on the road. They were all dressed similarly and covered themselves tightly in such hot weather.
When we got to the ground, the team leader and the accountant were already there and assigned tasks very quickly.
With the sound of a whistle, the corn stalks began to rustle, and the large group of people who had just been there all went into the field.
Corn is much taller than a person, and the leaves are sharp. If you are not careful, you will get a cut on your hand.
People who usually work slowly also become more cautious in their hand movements at this time.
Children who are not even as tall as the backpacks are also moving around in the cornfield, doing the same work as the adults.
At the beginning, they would break the corn first. Several people around would break the corn and put it together to form a small pile. When everyone in this area had finished breaking the corn, someone would come and carry the corn.
