Chapter 435 The Autumn Equinox
This time, Han Li only said that he had something to do when he rushed back, and pushed back the couple's suggestion that he go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

Time passed day by day, and Han Li's Autumn Protection Team still made no gains. Many educated youths had already accepted their fate. Now they only looked forward to carrying out the autumn harvest as soon as possible, so that they would not have to run to the fields every day.

Time will satisfy these people's fantasies, but I hope they can bear it when the autumn harvest comes.

Now we are getting closer to the autumnal equinox in the 24 solar terms. The autumnal equinox is regarded as a dividing line for the beginning of the autumn harvest. Even if there are weather effects such as rainfall, the difference will never exceed ten days.

The recent weather is described as crisp autumn air and clear sky, which is very close to reality. There are white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The gentle breeze makes the whole person feel much better.

The leaves of the soybeans in the ground have turned slightly yellow, the corns are holding huge cobs, the seeds on the sorghum heads have begun to turn black and red, and even the leaves of the hazel trees on the mountains have begun to turn red, matching the village The small rivers by the side, the small streams in the mountains, and the blue sky and white clouds make Shanghe Village become a colorful world like a fairyland.

At this time, many villagers have begun to dry "dried vegetables" in their own yards. However, the only vegetables that can be dried at this time are beans, eggplants, cucumbers, and other vegetables, such as cabbage and radishes. These vegetables have to wait until the season.

Cut the eggplant into large thin slices, blanch it in a hot water pot and then take it out to cool immediately. After it cools, squeeze out the water and spread it flat to dry. However, this process requires frequent turning to dry faster.

When drying cucumbers, try to choose green and tender cucumbers. Cut them into strips, pickle the cucumbers with salt to remove the water, drain the water, and then dry them in the sun.

The simplest is dried beans, which only need to be cut into shreds and dried in the sun.

In addition, the peppers are indispensable, because the peppers in the vegetable garden mature at different times.

When the villagers see the ripe peppers, they will pick them first, and then select large, fleshy ripe peppers to be dried separately. Finally, their seeds will be used as next year's seeds. After the seeds are enough, other peppers will be added. Spiritual condiment.

Moreover, at this time, various wild fruits and mushrooms in the mountains and forests are in the harvest season. After work every day, the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village will rush to the mountains to store more food for the winter at home. If they are rich, they will send it to them. It’s also very convenient to change money at the consignment point.

Women have a natural advantage in collecting, but men are really not as good as women in this regard.

Therefore, tasks such as drying vegetables, cutting pig grass, and cooking dinner are left to the men, the elderly, and children in the family.

Moreover, the villagers all knew that Han Li and the two educated youths could go home to visit relatives this year. They had to collect as much mountain goods as possible before these three people left. Otherwise, after they left to visit relatives, if they wanted to change money, they would not only have to go to the commune, They went to the county, where they picked and weighed the goods, and the key price was the same as buying the educated youth here. In this way, they would lose a lot of money.

Of course, many educated youths will not be left behind with this kind of extra gain, especially Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying, who are the most enthusiastic because they want to bring more local goods when they go home this year.

However, the educated youths all have their own small groups, and they all go into the mountains together in twos and threes.

For this reason, Han Li's dog now works early and has to follow them up the mountain after work.

Hou Yuhua, a pocket-sized girl, refused to let go of this opportunity. She and Zhang Shulan took over the Yun sisters' house together. In addition to living comfortably, the most important thing was to see Qi Zhaodi stocking up on such valuables.

Hou Yuhua first went into the mountains with her roommates Zhang Shulan, Qi Zhaodi, He Mi and others. However, due to her height and long legs, she not only gained the least, but also often failed to keep up with the team.

With Hou Yuhua's height, it is very dangerous to fall behind in the mountains and forests, because there are many weeds here that are taller than her. If she falls behind and wants to join everyone, or if she is found by others, she will have to yell.

Although Hou Yuhua had tried her best to step back on her steps, she still couldn't avoid falling behind during this period. Once or twice was okay, but if the times were too many, she would be a little embarrassed to go into the mountains with everyone.

On this day, Han Li had just rummaged through the dried vegetables, herbs, and wild products in the yard, and was processing medicinal materials in the clinic when Hou Yuhua walked in a little depressed.

"Brother Han."

"Yuhua is here, why didn't you follow everyone up the mountain today?"

"Brother Han, I, I often couldn't keep up with everyone when I was picking up mountain goods. I didn't want to slow down everyone, so I didn't go."

After hearing this, Han Li understood the reason for her current frustration, and looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile and said.

"If you can't keep up, we won't go. If you can't pick mountain goods, you won't pick. If you can't stay idle, I have a job here that is very suitable for you. I just don't know if you are willing to do it?"

"I am willing."

Hou Yuhua agreed without asking anything, and Han Li smiled and spoke directly to her.

Because no one else knew about He Mi's family breeding flying dragons, but Hou Yuhua, who often went to see Qi Zhaodi, knew about it, so Han Li asked her to harvest and dry some weed seeds from now on, and finally said that her work would never be in vain.

This job is very suitable for Hou Yuhua. The grass seeds are very light and she can easily carry a large basket without having to walk too far.

After hearing this, the dull expression on Hou Yuhua's face immediately dissipated, and she agreed without any hesitation.

Although Han Li's words were vague, Hou Yuhua believed that the other party would never let his work go in vain.

And this is a kind of recognition for her, even if she is not paid in the end, she is still willing to harvest and dry these grass seeds.

Han Li agreed when he saw Hou Yuhua didn't even murmur. While secretly sighing at his own charm, considering that the surroundings were all green gauze tents, no one knew whether Hou Yuhua would be able to act alone. Someone like Jin Dahe appeared, so Han Li asked his dog to follow her.

At this time, all the five dogs of Han Li's family were at work, two with the Yun sisters, one with He Mi and the others, one with Hao Hongmin and the others, and now the last one is temporarily following Hou Yuhua.As for Hao Hongmin and her family's puppy, it is still a big dog and can't even look after the home except act cute.

Not long after Han Li sent Hou Yuhua away, the Yun sisters came back from the consignment point.

The meals now are simple. There are plenty of fresh vegetables in the yard. I picked a few cucumbers to dip into the sauce, a handful of beans and scrambled eggs. Yun Jingjing also steamed a few eggplants, and finally used a few tomatoes to make soup for dinner.

While Han Li's family was eating in the yard, there was a burst of noise and crying outside.

"What's wrong with this?"

"I don't know. We didn't hear anything from the agency today."

"The voice sounds like the aunt from the Liang Wu family, as well as Niu Dechang and Wu Lili. Have you heard of any conflicts between them?"

"You'll know if you go out and take a look."

The three of them took the bowls and went out to watch the excitement. When they walked out of the street, they realized that there were quite a few people who had made the same choice as them.

Everyone smiled at each other and walked towards the place where the quarrel was taking place. At this time, the aunt from Liang Wu's family was sitting at the door of Wu Lili Street cursing. Next to her were several sons and nephews of her family.

The villagers said that the Liang Wu family's characters were not very good. They were not only lazy and messy, but also particularly fond of taking advantage.

Han Li had also seen her quarreling with other villagers and educated youths many times over trivial matters, but she had never provoked Han Li and his family, and she had never quarreled as fiercely as she did today.

Sun Yong and Niu Dechang stared at the side with blood-red eyes like a bullfight. Wu Lili leaned against the door and kept crying without saying a word.

The aunt of Liang Wu's family was sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs with her hands, crying and cursing, and kept talking about the various organs of Sun Yong and their three relatives, as well as some other descriptive words.

If it were written down, it could only be like this, @#￥%……&******.

However, everyone also heard the cause of this incident from the crying and cursing of Liang Wu's aunt, and why she came here to scold people.

It turned out that the aunt of Liang Wu's family went to the mountains to dig for mountain goods today, and she first came to the nest that she had treasured for several years.

But what Aunt Liang Wu didn't expect was that her nest would be harvested by Wu Lili and the others.

Originally, the nest issue was not on the table, let alone a reason to stir up trouble.

But who is the aunt of Liang Wu’s family?Who doesn’t know about it in Shanghe Village, Zhonghe Village, and Xiaohe Village?

Although she had been repeatedly warned not to provoke Han Li by Captain Liang, as well as the educated youth who had a good relationship with him, the three people in front of her were obviously not in this sequence, so the aunt of the Liang Wu family spoke up.

"Hey, my old lady has seen a lot of things in her life, and she has seen a lot of people having sex, but she has never seen three people having sex together. I didn't believe the rumors in the village. Today I saw that others are really not talking nonsense, and seeing the closeness between the three of you, tut, tut, tut, anyway, I, an old woman, can’t stand it.”

The aunt of Liang Wu's family felt a lot better after finishing her addiction. Now that time was running out, she planned to turn around and leave.

But Wu Lili cried immediately after hearing this, which made Niu Dechang very angry. She pointed at Liang Wu's aunt and cursed.

"You damn old woman, please clean your mouth. We are all pure comrades. How come it changes in your mouth? If you continue to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will beat you up."

When Aunt Liang Wu's family heard this, she immediately stopped leaving. She looked at the three people opposite and said disdainfully.

"Haha, how dare you do it and not take it seriously? You still beat me? Can you try to touch me with a finger?"

Niu Dechang lived up to his surname Niu. He walked up to Aunt Liang Wu's family in a few steps with his eyes wide open, and pushed her backwards. Sun Yong took his hand and it was still hanging in the air.

This somersault immediately frightened the aunt of Liang Wu's family. She got up from the ground and turned around to leave without even daring to say a word.

Niu Dechang's face was red and high-spirited at that time. He turned around and waited for Wu Lili's praise, but what he waited for was Sun Yong's disgusted eyes and warning, and Wu Lili's worried eyes.

Niu Dechang thought that what Sun Yong said was because he was jealous of what he just said, and didn't take it to heart at all.

Compared with Wu Lili's worried eyes, which made him feel more excited, Niu Dechang thought that she was worried about him.
