Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 65 Harvest
Seeing everyone chatting there, Jinghan hurried to the old man's house and told everyone about the situation here. "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, it's fine. These people can't be offended, or they can do something bad, and we can't stand it. In this way, mother, you get two dishes, and I'll bring some wine over to let My father had a drink with them. These people are actually very loyal, we don't need to get too close to them, but we can't be against each other." Jinghan explained everything clearly to the old man and the others.

Mrs. Xue has been here to accompany the old man all the time. Upon hearing this, she and Mrs. Zhu hurriedly went to the kitchen to make four small dishes with the lights on.Then Jinghan and Wenhan came to the room where Zhixin and the others lived, holding the wine jar and vegetables. "Father, third uncle, uncles, I brought wine and some side dishes. In this way, you can chat while drinking. Don't worry, uncles, I didn't poison it."

As soon as Jinghan said this, the whole room laughed. "Brother, you really have a good girl, comparable to a boy. You are smart and courageous, and the arrow is really accurate." The fifth child glanced at Jinghan. "Girl, you're really courageous, okay." She gave Jinghan a thumbs up.

Jinghan ignored them, lowered her head, put the wine and dishes on a table, and poured wine into each glass.Then he said, "As long as the uncles don't bear the grudge that I hurt you."

Lao Wu shook his head, "What are you talking about? We are here to steal things, and you are looking for references. This is normal. Why do we have any grudges? Let a little girl get hurt, do you still have face?"

After hearing what the fifth child said, the second child Ye looked at Jing Han carefully a few times. "Brother Xu, this girl in your family is a character. With such a daughter, you will be blessed in the future."

When Zhixin heard someone praise her daughter, her heart was naturally beautiful, but she had to be humble. "She has been wild since she was a child, like a boy. People in the village say that we have three sons. Alas, with this temperament, won't she be worried in the future?"

"What are you worried about? Most of our girls in the north are horseback riding and archery, and they are very skilled. Although it is not a troubled time nowadays, girls still need to have some skills. It is safe." Ye Laoer said his opinion.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's drink first. Big Brother, Brother Ye, it's fate that we met here. Come, drink." Zhiming hurriedly brought the topic back, and everyone drank together.

All the men in the Northeast love to drink. Although the men in Xu's family don't drink all day like other families, their alcohol capacity is not bad.Now let go of the amount and drink with them, and the drink will not be over until Haishi.

Seeing that it was already midnight, Zhixin wanted these people to stay in the venue, but Ye Lao Er quit, "Brother, we came by driving a car, and the car is still outside. You are here to participate in the venue, let us drink here It's very rare, we can't live here. Brother, if you have something to do in the future, come to the town to find me. Brothers will leave first." Saying that, he led a few people to wander out.

Zhixin sent these people out of the venue, and then gave the lantern to Ye Laoer. "Brother, it's only the sixth day of the lunar month, and the moon is dark, so you hold the lantern, so that it can shine brightly on the road."

Ye Laoer took the lantern, and the four found their carriage.The fifth child and the sixth child drank less, and they drove the carriage all the way back to the town.

After tossing around most of the night, it was finally considered clean.Zhixin and Zhiming drank some wine and felt a little tired when they came up, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.Everyone rested separately, the old man and Wen Hanwencheng took the time to sleep.When I was ugly, I got up and went for a walk. Seeing that nothing happened, I went to bed with peace of mind.

Since almost all the crops the Xu family planted this year were blown down by the strong wind, everyone was busy harvesting the crops in the next few days.Although this year's crops have not been fertilized, they are growing well. The corn cobs are quite large and the kernels are full.The rest, sorghum, millet, millet, soybeans, etc., are also growing well.A total of 25 zhang sticks of land, which is [-] mu, the whole family mobilized, and within a few days, it was over.On the newly erected racks, the tied corn was hanging to dry, and the rest of the grain was put away separately, waiting for it to be almost dry before threshing grain.In fact, grains have a process of drying and post-ripening. Grain that has not been post-ripened will not taste good and the taste will not be good.

Seeing the grain so full, the old man couldn't close his mouth, "I didn't expect that our family didn't have any land this year, and we could grow this grain with this sticky land. Great, that's great. This is more than our previous years." , Our family used to only have fifteen acres of land, how can we have so much?" The old man's eyes were full of the golden grain in front of him.

"Why don't you say that this is all due to Jinghan? If she didn't come up with this method, we wouldn't have thought of it." Chen was also very happy, glanced at the old man, and couldn't help laughing.

As soon as the old man heard it, he couldn't help nodding, "Yes, you are right, it's really thanks to Jinghan that she can think of it. Speaking of which, it was that girl's idea that we went up the mountain. Now it seems that we are really going to take this step. It's the right way. This girl is a lucky star, you see, they just harvested ginseng seeds, and they made so many. We adults don't have such a brain like her. "

The old man's words moved Chen's heart, "Old man, if you don't tell me, I forgot. I didn't know anything about it before. I just thought that this child likes to drag things around the house. Ever since Zhiming's accident, I felt that this child seemed to be You seem to have a lot more ideas than before, don't you think it's strange?" The old lady cared about the children the most, so she noticed Jing Han's change.

"What's the matter? Is the child getting older? A child of this age is different every day, and it changes quickly. Girl dolls are sensible earlier than boys. It's a good thing to think about it. Don't think too much." The old man said to Jinghan is very satisfied with her current performance, so she doesn't allow her to be suspicious.

"I didn't say anything, but I was afraid that there would be some kind of ghost on this mountain, and if it bumped into Jinghan, it would be broken. You are right, the children of the poor have long been in charge of their families, and Jinghan is a caring life. It's no wonder." After listening to the old man's words, Chen felt that they were quite reasonable, so she stopped thinking about them.I hurriedly got up and turned over some corn with slightly bad grains.These are kept to feed the livestock at home, and good corn is reluctant.This year, the family fed five big geese, four dogs, a few chickens, and a cow. These also need to eat some food.

While turning over the corn, Mrs. Chen thought about whether to raise two pigs next year. Looking at it this way, she could grow some grain next year, and the pigs would be enough.Furthermore, there are quite a few oak trees around here, and picking up more acorns can also save some food.Raise two pigs, one will be killed during the Chinese New Year, and the other will be killed in the spring.Not for anything else, just because the children are so capable, and they have to eat something good.

Jinghan and her brothers went into the mountains again. They said they went into the mountains, but in fact they just went out of the venue. You can go wherever you want, all are mountains and forests.The place they came to today is a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. There are various high-quality trees such as red pine, oak, spring elm, and purple linden.Jinghan and the others are naturally going to crack pine nuts. At this time, the pine nuts are fully grown. The seeds are full of seeds and rich in oil. They are the best things.

Zhixin and Zhiming also came this time, there was nothing to do in the ginseng hall, and the ginseng had to wait until everyone was together, so the old couple stayed behind, and the rest of them all came.Zhixin and Zhiming led Wenhan and Wencheng up the tree, while the others picked up pine cones under the tree.Xue and Zhu led Wenxuan Wenchang and the girls to pick up pine cones at the bottom.Jingya also came out with everyone, and everyone looked at the tree from under the tree, and whenever a pine cone fell, they quickly found it and picked it up.

With the addition of adults, and there are a lot of red pines here, there are many pine cones on each tree, so the number of pine cones is increasing sharply. "Okay, third son, let's go down first and send the pine cones back, otherwise your sister-in-law and the others won't be able to carry them." Zhixin saw that the pine cones below had become a big pile, so he got down from the tree , put on a large back basket, and carry it into the field.Zhiming also got down from the tree, carried another big back basket, and went back to the venue together.

Wen Han and Wen Cheng were naturally still on the tree, they continued to throw the pine cone down, while the people below continued to pick it up.Zhixin and Zhiming recited it three times, and finally transported all the pile back.Then the two brothers went up the tree again, and when there were too many pine cones, they carried them back home, repeating this back and forth.Then everyone walked farther and farther, but the pine cones were piled up to fill a warehouse.

By the time all the pine cones in convenient places have been harvested, it will be almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.The old lady saw that everyone was so busy, so she said that she wanted to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival.So Wenhan asked Wenhan to bring some meat back when he delivered the fish in the morning, and the family wanted to make dumplings.

Wen Han and Wen Cheng drove the ox cart and left early from Shenchang. They not only brought fish for the restaurant today, but also brought some things for Hui Xin.It's the holidays, and Mrs. Chen was worried about her pregnant daughter, so she asked Wen Han to bring some fish, half a deer, some mushrooms and dried fish to Hui Xin.This deer was found in a trap outside Zhangzi this morning. Zhixin divided half of it and gave it to Huixin and the others.

When they arrived in the town, they naturally went to Tao's house first. It was just at the beginning of the morning, and Qingnian hadn't gone to the pharmacy yet, so he happened to be at home.Wen Han went to meet the old man and the old lady of the Tao family, and then distributed the things to the old man of the Tao family, and left all the rest to Hui Xin. "Little aunt, my grandma told you to cook whatever you like. After eating, I'll bring it to you. We live on the mountain now. These things are not rare, and we can often get them."
