I live in the countryside

Chapter 182 Mechanical Harvesting (2 more)
Chen Mei was sitting in the main hall and didn't speak to Aunt Qiao. It was Qiao Zongming who was talking to her.

Auntie Qiao came back and said she wanted to take some more clothes for Grandma Qiao. After spending some time alone in Grandma Qiao's room, she packed a small bag with two or three pieces of clothes in it. They were all when Grandma Qiao was at home. when wearing.

When she went to the county seat, she didn't take all the things with her. There were still many things in the house.

Although Grandma Qiao went to the county seat, Qiao Zongming still cared about her mother, and would call Uncle Qiao from time to time to ask how Grandma Qiao was doing.

Since the last incident, the brothers had a rift, and Aunt Qiao knew that she had instigated the last incident. As a result, after Grandma Qiao went to the county, there was almost no contact between the brothers and sisters.

She packed her things inside and came out. Qiao Zongming stood at the door and talked to her, asking about Grandma Qiao's living conditions in the county.

Aunt Qiao naturally didn't have a good attitude, she spoke as if Qiao Zongming owed her millions.

"Of course mom is doing well. It's better to eat and drink in the county than at home, where no one cooks for her, and you can go to the park."

Aunt Qiao spoke eccentric words, and when she went out with her things, she saw a little panic on her face when she saw Qiao Churan come back.

The attitude towards Qiao Zongming just now has also disappeared a lot, and he said hastily: "I'm in a hurry, if you want to know about my mother, you can call and ask yourself."

After speaking, she hurried away holding the bag containing Grandma Qiao's clothes.

Chen Mei looked at it strangely: "It's really strange. When I came back in the past, I always had to say something when I had nothing to do. This time, I came back like a mouse."

Qiao Churan didn't bother to pay attention, Aunt Qiao left without affecting the family affairs, Qiao Zongming closed the door of Grandma Qiao's room.

Chen Mei greeted Qin Muzhou to sit down, and she was ready to have dinner.

Chen Mei said to give a red envelope, and indeed gave Qin Muzhou a big red envelope, which made Qiao Churan envious.

Chen Mei said: "It's for Xiao Qin, it's not for you, and it's useless to be envious."

Qiao Churan puffed her mouth, so Qin Muzhou secretly stuffed the big red envelope into the pocket of Qiao Churan's skirt under the table.

At the dinner table, Chen Mei watched the two people's private movements, and said, "Xiao Qin, you must not spoil this girl."

Being caught on the spot, Qin Muzhou sneered: "No, Auntie, I just asked Ranran to take it for me."

Chen Mei didn't say anything, and greeted Qin Muzhou to eat.

When Qin Muzhou lowered his head, he glanced at Qiao Churan, and saw her angrily poking her rice bowl, the corners of her lips raised in a gentle smile.

The season has entered the first ten days of July, at this time, the entire southern countryside is the busiest time.

Not to mention anything else, this is the time when the corn in the dry land is harvested, chatting casually at the dinner table, Chen Mei sighed: "Now everyone is preparing to harvest the corn one after another, and it will only take a few days to harvest the corn. Things, when the time comes, your greenhouse will be able to be built. What is the situation now? Are you ready to build a greenhouse? Your dad and I will harvest our corn this weekend. This year, there is less planting, and it can be solved in one day, you don’t have to come back to help me collect yours because you are busy outside.”

Qiao Churan is a child who grew up in Qingxi Village. Could it be that he doesn't know the seasons in the village? He immediately smiled and said, "It's been prepared a long time ago, and they will all enter the village in a few days. You don't have to worry about harvesting corn." , I will solve it, and you don’t need to go to the field to collect it yourself.”

"You solve it, how do you solve it?" Chen Mei didn't know why.

Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan looked at each other, smiled and said to Chen Mei, "Just watch, you'll know what's going on tomorrow."

Chen Mei didn't take her daughter's words too seriously. What she did was that Ranran started to think about something again. She didn't need to go to the field to collect corn, so could she make something for her to collect?
But the next day, Chen Mei found out that her daughter could really make a big noise for her to solve the corn harvest issue.

As the two machines rumbled into the village, the people in Qingxi Village were dumbfounded.

It's like an excavator, but it's not. It's just that there is a huge big tube in front of it, like a rocket. I don't know what it is, and Qi Qi drives into the field of Qingxi Village.

Soon, someone realized, isn't this exactly the harvester seen on TV?

Corn Harvester.

The machine followed Qiao Churan into the village, and soon, the onlookers saw Qiao Churan communicating with those people, and even the village head and Zhao Chengming came over.

The acquaintances came to know that these people came to harvest corn for the village.

After a while, the ten or so young people who lived in Yingber's house, who didn't know what they came to the village for, also came out in a crowd, watching up and down around the machine.

In the evening, the radio in the village started to sound, and the village chief informed that two harvesters came to the village, both of which were used to harvest corn for the fire, and they rented the land to Qiao Churan, who was the first to harvest, and there was no charge, so everyone should not rush Harvest corn in the field, wait for two days, and the corn will be more yellow and ripe before harvesting.

As soon as the news came out, that night, all the surrounding villagers flocked to Qiao Churan's house to ask whether the incident was true or not.

This is of course true. The two harvesters were purchased by Qiao Churan with his own funds. They will be able to plow the land when they are refitted. After the melon shed is done in the back, they can help a lot with land repairs.

Qiao Churan only asked everyone to prepare bags and harvest together in two days.

Everyone has only seen this kind of thing on TV. The environment of Wuxi Town is closed. When watching the news on TV, I heard that there are machines harvesting corn and rice outside, but Wuxi Town has never seen this thing before. Even when they saw this thing on the news, no one dared to imagine that this thing would appear in the village one day.

Starting from the father's generation, several generations have been busy working in the crops with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky. Now, they have caught up with mechanization.

Everyone is more curious.

After the machine was brought back, it was temporarily placed by the small square in Qingxi Village. Many people in the village came to watch. Two days later, they saw Zhao Chengming and several young people living in Yingbo's house walking around the machine. Others were disassembled and reassembled again after I did not know what to do with them.

The villagers saw Zhao Chengming driving the machine on the road, and all the weeds in the wasteland on the side of the road were cut off in one click, and the children in the village clapped their hands and cheered.

The little grandson of the village head's family is the closest to Zhao Chengming. He brought a group of children here, and he was not afraid of strangers. He asked him all kinds of messy questions. I don't know what Zhao Chengming said, which made a group of children clap their hands in a row. Say hello.

Qiao Churan didn't say that he bought this thing at his own expense. Everyone thought it was brought by Zhao Chengming, and they liked him even more.

In this way, after the machine was left to dry in the small square for three or four days, at the weekend, most of the corn in Qingxi village began to turn yellow at the tips. Finally, on a sunny morning, Zhao Chengming and the youngest in the team Yes, Ji Min, who was the most playful, drove the machine hula to the dry land in the village.

Although the terrain here is generally karst, belonging to the mountainous and hilly areas in the south, within the small area where the village grows, it is still open and flat, at least that is the case in Qingxi Village. , no problem at all.

The cornfield was bright yellow, and the roar of the machine operation was heard far away. In just one day, these two harvesters could completely harvest the [-] mu of land that the villagers rented to Qiao Churan.

Everyone had prepared bags a long time ago, surrounded the field not far away, and watched Zhao Chengming operate the harvester. From one end to the other, the corn stalks seemed to be eaten by the machine.

A pat of crushed corn stalks fell behind him, and there was a small hole in the carriage behind the operating room, and the bracts that had been peeled off by the machine kept floating out.

It takes less than 10 minutes for an acre of land to be harvested after turning around a few times.

This was done when Zhao Chengming was not proficient, and then he operated the machine to the main road, and poured out all the bright yellow corn that had been cleaned up in the stomach of the car.

This is the first time that the villagers have seen such a harvesting method. It used to take half a day to harvest corn on an acre of land, but now it takes only 10 minutes.

After processing the corn stalks and peeling the bracts, they can be taken back to dry in the sun and threshed.

The first one to harvest was an aunt of Qiao’s family. She was very happy, and she smiled as she harvested the corn: “I’ve been planting corn for more than 30 years, and this is the first time I’ve followed the trend and used machinery, which is great. The corn is peeled clean, and it is directly taken to the road for me. This year's farming season is busy, so I am not tired at all."

At the beginning, they used machinery. Seeing this harvesting method, the villagers were worried that the machinery would destroy the corn. At this time, seeing that the corn of the aunt of Qiao’s family was not damaged, they immediately recognized a lot, a lot People went home one after another, came over with bags and baskets, and waited in line for the machinery to be delivered to their fields.

But no one knew that when the corn in the dry land of Qingxi Village was being harvested, several large carts were coming towards Qingxi Village with their loads of materials.
