Escape from the desert

The sunset gradually faded, and the cool evening wind blew up the hairs of several people. The gradually darkening sky made the entire Linjia Village a little silent. Jiang Yan asked Wang Jinhua to light an oil lamp. Under the light, everyone's silhouette became clearer. .

Jiang Yan looked at the people who were sitting at risk, and said with a smile, "I won't lose the base price of [-] yuan, you don't have to worry about it, I naturally set the price after calculating the cost and labor, and this price is only for you. "

Several people were even more grateful when they heard the words. They all knew that Aunt Jiang was here to allow them to have their own livelihood.

"Tomorrow, we'll take a few pieces to the town to sell first, and then buy a few acres of paddy fields after the autumn harvest, and we'll plant late rice as well." Lin Yousheng said.

"The business of soap will be managed by the second child in the future. You can go to the second child's place to register and check the amount you take. If you don't have enough money now, you can take the soap first, and then you can give the money after it is sold."

When Lin Nan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do. When I get the rotten leaf soil and bring it to the warehouse for you, I will also go to the town to sell it. Our family has made too much soap now. Gotta sell it sooner."

Soap factories are all divided and cooperated. Jiang Yan divided the soap making process into several steps, and assigned twelve workers to different positions. In addition, the core alkaline water was brewed by the Lin family. People in the village scrambled to each other's posts, and there was no need to worry about the recipe leaking.

In the next few days, Linjia Village entered a busy autumn harvest. The village sent five people to help Jiang Yan cultivate the seedlings. Jiang Yan asked Lin Nan and Lin Xi to lead a few people to spread the soil in the warehouse.

The No. [-] and No. [-] warehouses have been divided into soap factories. Because the number of finished soap products is increasing day by day, the No. [-] warehouse has also become a temporary storage warehouse, and the cultivation of seedlings can only be carried out in the No. [-] warehouse.

Even if the temperature in the warehouse is suitable and easy to control, it takes at least 25 to 30 days to grow seedlings, which is about a month, so the time will be very late, unable to keep up with the planting time of late rice, Jiang Yan had to buy a lot of nutrients at a high price in the mall Liquid and accelerated liquid, the time should be shortened to at least ten days, so that they can be transplanted to the paddy fields immediately after the autumn harvest.

The people who came to help were all good farmers in the village. They knew better than the number of seedlings needed. The number of seedlings in one warehouse was not enough. Everyone cultivated a few more fields in the village and cultivated some more seedlings. New green shoots are starting to emerge.

Jiang Yancai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the tender shoots. In order to cultivate the seedlings, she studied books related to the cultivation of late rice seedlings every day. She is not worried about being discovered by them when she closes the door, after all, she is only a rural widow who knows a few words.

After a busy few days, the Lin family has also entered the autumn harvest. Today, Lin Bei and Erbi private school are taking a break. The two of them are waiting for the family to go to the field to harvest rice today. The family has only five acres of land, and the family works, two or three days fast. can be harvested.

Early in the morning, the two daughters-in-law got up early to make breakfast, boiled a pot of rice porridge, cut two plates of pickled vegetables, fried a large plate of green vegetables and eggs, and all kinds of braised pork that were cooked last night. Now the food is much richer, and the two daughters-in-law are willing to cook richer dishes under the teachings of Jiang Yan.

The morning breeze is refreshing, the sun has not yet had time to climb the mountain high dome, the fresh air has a faint fragrance of rice, and the family is carrying a basket and a sickle to the ground.

Now there are five sickles in the family, that is, five people cut the rice at the same time, and the rest are responsible for transporting the rice to the threshing field. In this era, there is no machine that can directly take off the rice from the rice stalks, let alone the rice. Something for husking rice.

There are ten people in the Lin family, Jiang Yan, the eldest three sons, and Erbi, who has been shouting at the top of the rice cutting, are responsible for cutting the rice.

Lin Bei and his two sisters-in-law are responsible for transporting the rice to the threshing field. Because there are carriages, the horses have also been replaced by the simple wooden carts made by Lin Dong. They only need to move the rice to the carriages, and then drag the horses to the threshing grounds. Just take it off the field.

Xiaodouzi is the youngest, not a labor force, but the little guy is very industrious. Standing in the rice field, he can only see half a small head, and no one can see it when he bends over. A handful of rice was placed on the edge of the field, so that Lin Bei and the others could move on to the carriage.

Lin Feng also buried his head and followed to move the rice, and sweat beads the size of beans rolled down from his forehead and disappeared into the lapel, but he still worked hard like a little bee.

The family has a clear division of labor, and the work is full of enthusiasm. Although the autumn harvest is hard, it is the happiest time of the year for farmers. Even if they are tired, everyone is full of smiles.

After cutting for a while, Jiang Yan couldn't take it anymore. The original body used to cut rice with several sons, but it was really shallow cutting, just came over for a walk and left, and it didn't take a few minutes to really work. She can but is too lazy to do it.

Jiang Yan is not very good at it and can't do it well. She has to bend her back and hold the rice in her left hand and the sickle in her right hand. She has to move forward slowly during the cutting process. , but after working for a while, the whole person was tired and sweating, his face was red with blood, and his breath was hot.

She tilted her head and looked at the three Lin brothers lined up on the left. They did a good job. They joked while working, and played a game of who was faster than the other. Then she turned her head to the side. Looking at Erbi on the right, the little guy is younger, but he does more work than her. On the same piece of land, everyone has a separate route, and the little guy is already a lot ahead of her.

Jiang Yan thought to herself that even if she couldn't do it, she couldn't lose to a seven- or eight-year-old kid, gritted her teeth, and kept her head down.

The sun was gradually rising, and the whole field was hot. When other people in the village passed by the paddy fields of the Lin family, they praised Aunt Jiang for being diligent and actually went to work in the field. I was dazed, and felt that my hands and feet were not my own, especially the waist rod. When I stood up straight, there was a few crunching noises.

At this time, I went to see the other people. Everyone was obviously tired, especially Erbi. The little guy's ball head was abnormally messy, and it was also mixed with grains and rice leaves. His little face was dripping with sweat, and it was red and hot. , The hand holding the sickle is trembling slightly, obviously reaching the limit.

"Boss, let's take a break first, drink some water first, Erbi, come with me." Jiang Yan dropped the sickle and greeted Xiaodouzi and Lin Feng, who were still diligently carrying rice back and forth in the fields, and walked to the ridge. When he got up, he sat up on his butt, and the sight of the person in the hot sun was blurred, and the soil on the ridge was also a little hot.
