Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 210 A moth is about to emerge
July is the busiest time of the year, also known as double grabbing. At this time, it is necessary to rush to harvest crops and plant crops. After a month of busy work, people can lose a few pounds.

Young Master Tian of Cheng's family is brilliant, but after finishing his own work, he can't rest. He has to help his parents' house and Grandma's house.

This year, his third younger brother went to work in the transportation company in the county and was unable to help the family. However, his fourth younger brother had already graduated from junior high school and failed to enter technical secondary school and high school, so he had to stay in the village to work as a farmer.

Even so, there is not enough manpower. His family originally had nine acres of land. When he divided the family, he took away one acre and left eight acres. However, Grandma Gao is too old to work in the fields. , and his sister-in-law also has to take care of the children at home to do housework.

Gao Mingcheng first helped his parents' house for a day, and then helped Grandma Xi's house for a day.

Grandma Xi’s family has an extra person this year, but He Xiuman is pregnant. Her body is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Cook at home.

The reason given is also serious. There must always be someone cooking at home. After a busy day, it is good to have a hearty and delicious meal.

With Gao Mingcheng's help, the two families became much more relaxed.

After helping the two of them harvest rice, Gao Mingcheng was busy with his own affairs again, because he had to plow the field to prepare for the rice transplanting later.

It is said that the cattle are raised for a thousand days, and the cattle are used for a short time. The calf in the family was bought back in the spring, and it is not yet one year old.

Under normal circumstances, when the cow is one year old, it will start to tie a cow nose ring for the cow. If the time is too early, the cow nose ring will easily fail.

As long as you have the bull nose ring, after a few days of healing, you can pull the bull nose ring for training.However, during this period of time, the body of the calf has not grown well, and its strength is still weak, so it cannot pull the plow.

The cattle of Gaoming Cheng’s family have not yet had their nose rings pierced. Instead, a rope is put on the head of the cattle. The rope is triangular in shape and binds the entire head of the cattle, so it is not easy to break free.

And every night when they are closed in the cowshed to rest, the rope will be untied, which can make the cow more relaxed.

The calves can't work yet, so they have to do the work in the field by themselves.

Gao Mingcheng went out early and returned late every day. Although he worked for his parents and grandma, he didn't let Duomei go with him.

Although Duomei can work neatly, she is a woman after all and has little strength, so she shouldn't be too tired.

However, Gao Mingcheng felt sorry for Duomei, but Duomei also felt sorry for her second sister. Seeing her second sister working in the field with a big belly, she was obliged to ask for help.

This is probably the sophistication of the people in the village, who will help each other when needed.

Late rice should be transplanted before August, otherwise, the harvest will be affected if it is too late, and farmers care most about the harvest.

Therefore, every household is busy, and not many people even go to the old market in Junling. Most of the people who go there are also to buy meat.

At this time, meat is the best seller.

Gao Mingcheng also went to buy meat, and brought it to his parents' house and grandma's house by the way. Every year during the double rush, the frequency of eating meat will be much higher than usual.

Because the weather is so hot that it cannot be stored, it is generally necessary to eat meat once after going to a fair. After eating meat, people's physical condition will be much better.

In addition to pork, there will be some loach and eels on the dinner table.

There are five or six-year-old children in the family. Because of their weak strength, they can't help with the work in the field, but they can carry a bag and run to the field to pick up the lost ears of rice and catch loach. Spit out the sand from the sky, fry it in oil, and then stir-fry it with green peppers. The taste is also very good.

When Gao Mingcheng was plowing the field, he caught a pot of loach by the way, and he was raising it in the pot right now.

Since there is not much water in the field, people in the village are discussing that it is time to release water.

In fact, this is nothing to discuss, because no one will raise any objections. The water in the reservoir is still relatively full at the moment, and everyone is in a good mood. There is no thought of fighting for water. Everyone is very calm, and the water will enter the day earlier. I don't care too much about getting into the water one day later.

In September, when the rice is filling, the fields are dry and cracked, and the crops are in a hurry to use water. At this time, the water in the reservoir is about to bottom out.

So whoever uses water first and who uses water last is worth talking about.

At the end of this kind of talk, it will turn into a fight. If it is serious, it will be a fight with weapons. If it is more serious, it will lead to death.

Gao Mingcheng knew this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Drought and lack of water were not things that could be solved by manpower.

Therefore, it is said that farmers depend on the weather to eat. If the weather is good, they will have enough to eat. When there is drought or flood, they will be hungry.

There are no big rivers here, so there is almost no flood, but drought, it will happen every few years.

After the fields are filled with water, they are ready for transplanting.

The harvest of transplanting rice seedlings is better than that of throwing rice seedlings, and the length is straighter. Therefore, people in the village choose to transplant rice seedlings. At that time, it was not a big deal that the field produced less than ten catties of rice.

Even though he knew that the production would be reduced, Gao Mingcheng, like everyone else, plowed the fields and transplanted rice seedlings together, and did not show any abnormalities.

If he didn't plant late rice at all because the production would be reduced, then he would be pointed at and scolded. What is he scolded for?It's probably a few classics and forgotten ancestors!
Busy until the end of July, the work in the field is finally over, and everyone can take a breather.

Xiaofushan, contracted by Gao Mingcheng, still needs to hire people to work, and the time is set in three days. He plans to let people have a good rest for a few days, and then come back to work after regaining their strength.

After measuring the entire Xiaofushan, it has 290 mu, and the difference of two mu is [-] mu. But in fact, he can use the wasteland at the foot of Xiaofushan.

He can build a big shed here to store working tools and provide shade for people to escape from the heat.

When the fruit is ripe, you can pick the fruit and put it in the shed temporarily, so as not to be damaged by the sun.

In addition to building a shed, a row of trees can also be planted. If this part is occupied, no one will argue.

Just after the double grab was over, Gao Zhuang came to inform him that he would go to his house for dinner at noon tomorrow, and He Xiuman's parents would come to give He Xiuman money for his stomach.

This matter was originally scheduled before the double grab, but because Gao Mingcheng was going to Yangcheng, Gao Zhuang went to notify him on purpose, and then there was a delay because of some things, so it was delayed until now.

But it's okay, as long as you go through this ceremony before the child is born, there will be nothing to talk about.

"Okay, I'll be there at noon tomorrow." Gao Mingcheng agreed with a smile.

But Gao Zhuang said: "Brother Ming Cheng, you bring your sister-in-law with you!"

When going to other people's houses for dinner and drinking, usually the whole family only goes to one representative, and no family members are brought along.

But Gao Zhuang specifically asked Gao Mingcheng to bring many beauties, so there is no problem.

So the next day, Gao Mingcheng took many beauties to Gao Zhuang's house. Although he had already given presents, he did not go empty-handed, but carried two rabbits that he had just killed this morning.

When he went, Gao Zhuang's aunt's family had already arrived. His aunt was helping Grandma Xi cook in the kitchen. There were a lot of people eating today, so naturally there were a lot of meals to prepare.

A lot of beauty is also a person with life in his eyes. After entering, he said to Gao Mingcheng: "I will help too."

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, watching her carry the rabbit into the kitchen.

And he talked with Gao Zhuang and several of Gao Zhuang's cousins. At about 11:30, He Xiuman's natal family arrived late.

When they got engaged last time, they came on bicycles, and there were only He Xiuman and her parents, but this time they brought the whole family!

From old to young, everything is here!

Seeing this familiar family, the smile on He Xiuman's face froze instantly. She had a premonition that her parents were going to have something wrong!
