Chapter 189 Harvest Sweet Potatoes

Zhu Xinmin's situation is better than that of Wu Shaohai's brothers. He has a wife and children, and his family is harmonious.As a result, when the child was in his teens, his wife took him back to his natal family, and there was a car accident on the road, and the family was ruined all of a sudden, leaving him alone.The blow was too great, and the mind was not normal in those two years, and he was a lunatic for two years.It's much better now, but I can't mention my wife and children, and I cry when I mention it.When a big man cried like that, no one could bear it, so no one dared to mention these things in front of him afterwards.He never married again, and lived alone until now.

Zhu Zhengguo and Yang Tao are a disabled couple.Zhu Zhengguo was disabled by polio. He had two legs, one long and the other short, and he walked with a limp.Yang Tao is a deaf-mute. Except for her husband who can communicate with her in sign language, few people in the village can understand her sign language.Usually when we meet, we just nod and smile.

The last family is full of wives and children.It's just that her husband Zhu Yougen broke his spine when he went up the mountain to collect herbs, and he can only lie on the bed and be served by others.Not only did the family spend all their savings on treating his illness, but they also borrowed a lot of debt.In order to pay off the debt, the couple had to go out to work.Everything in the family falls on his wife Li Lian.People who are clearly under 60 look about [-] years old.And the son and daughter are over the age of marriage, but the situation in the family can only be delayed.

When Lian Yao and the others arrived at the small courtyard, except for Zhu Yougen who was lying on the bed and could not move, everyone else was ready to go to the ground.Because the snow has not stopped, they also tied a plastic or woven bag around their bodies to prevent their clothes from being wet by the snow.

Several families have been smoothed by difficulties, and their tempers are very kind.Since living together, it is considered to form a mutual aid alliance.They usually help each other.The same is true for harvesting sweet potatoes this time. Everyone helps each other, regardless of each other.

Because they were grateful to Lian Yao for building a new house for them, they followed the compound.Wu Qingfeng said not to grow rice, so they planted sweet potatoes.

It's just that they are inexperienced, and they are not as well-prepared as the big courtyard, so they have to tossed and tossed in the field before planting, and the harvest time is naturally too late.But still better than others.At least the sweet potatoes are close to normal size, a big one weighs a few pounds, and two or three small ones can weigh a pound.It just looks irregular and ugly.

Wu Qingfeng also brought the two harvesters at home, and Lin Bao and Lin Bao each had one, and they walked quickly through the field.Zhu Guozhong took several able-bodied men to manually dig the sweet potatoes, while several women and Zhu Zhengguo were responsible for carrying them.

Lianyao wears a lot of clothes, so it is not easy to work.She wanted to take off her clothes, but the fat aunt firmly refused.Several other women also stopped him.They didn't know that Lian Yao's health was fine, but they still regarded her as the delicate and frail patient in their impression who had been ill for more than ten years.She has already helped them enough, how can she let such a delicate person do this kind of rough work again?

Lianyao could earn more than Aunt Fat and could not earn more than the others, so in desperation, she had no choice but to take over the work of the cart.In order to transport sweet potatoes, boards are installed on the four sides of the cart.The weight of a cart full of sweet potatoes is not light. Yesterday they had to push several people together to move it.

Probably thinking that Lian Yao couldn't push anyway, and the few people didn't care, and didn't stop her anymore.

It's just that after the first carload of sweet potatoes was full, watching Lianyao push the car smoothly with Wu Qingfeng's help, several people who were about to step forward to help were suddenly overwhelmed.Is it possible that today's sweet potatoes are hollow?

When Lian Yao returned happily with an empty cart, a few people who secretly dug up a sweet potato to see if it was hollow could only silently think that this was probably a natural divine power.

Several people worked together and collected five or six acres of land in one morning.But each of them is also like a snowman, covered in snow and steaming white.Tired is tired, but my heart is happy.This collection is all future rations.With these sweet potatoes, you won't be hungry this winter at least.

At noon, everyone went to the small courtyard to eat and rest.There is no fireplace, but two coal-fired stoves.A pot of boiling water sat on the stove, steaming steamingly.With so many people crammed into one room, it's not too cold.

Wu Qingfeng just helped Lianyao take off her mask, hat and gloves. She had just finished working, and after such a break, she would get cold soon, so she didn't dare to let her take off her padded jacket.

The lunch prepared by the small courtyard is very simple, steamed buns are fermented bean curd.

Li Lian and Yang Tao were very embarrassed when they came out with these, and ran back to make a big bowl of poached egg soup.I just knew that if I only gave it to Lian Yao and the others, and there were no people on my side, they would definitely give in, so I reluctantly beat everyone.

The steamed buns were not well made, not soft enough, and after being cold and reheated, they became hard.But the taste of fermented bean curd is good, and it is good to eat with steamed buns.After asking, I realized that star fruit made it by myself.

Wu Qingfeng was worried that Lianyao would not eat well, but seeing her eating very deliciously, he knew that she was unwilling to let the people in the small courtyard treat her differently, so he could only watch silently and did not make a move. other moves.

After a short rest after dinner, a group of people braved the heavy snow and went to the field again.The footprints I stepped on when I came back were covered with snow again, leaving only a little shallow mark.Everyone's mood became heavy at the same time.

It's only the second day, and the snow is already so thick. If we go any further, the sweet potatoes that haven't been dug up will probably be ruined in the ground.

Everyone held their breath and said nothing, only knowing to work hard.It was as if he was so ruthless that he wanted to dig up all the sweet potatoes in one afternoon.

However, it was not until dark that half of the land was harvested.Although the few people in the small courtyard didn't say anything, Lian Yao could see some helplessness towards fate from their eyes.They have suffered too many hardships and blows, but their hearts still ache and bleed, but they no longer know how to express and save them.

Lian Yao and the others declined the invitation from the small courtyard and did not stay here for dinner.

Back in the compound, Wu Qingfeng turned on the fire in the fireplace and added a few pieces of biomass pellet fuel he bought earlier.This kind of fuel is actually made of dry and compacted wood. It is not difficult to make. Because of the high pressing density, it is more resistant to burning than ordinary wood.Like Lianyao's room, as long as four or five yuan is enough to burn for one night.

Lian Yao changed her clothes and went straight into the kitchen.She didn't let Aunt Fat do it, and she didn't want anyone to help.She just felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to do something by herself to vent.

Everyone has been busy all day, tired and sleepy, Lian Yao didn't intend to make it too complicated.A dish of fried tofu with minced meat, a dish of boiled fish, a dish of stir-fried twice-cooked pork with garlic leaves, and fried pork ears with garlic sprouts, and finally a dish of sweet potato soup and stir-fried Chinese cabbage.

Many dishes are prepared early in the morning and put there for later use, so they are prepared very quickly.With two stoves, all the meals are ready in less than an hour.

The body is warm, the food is fragrant, and Lian Yao's depressed mood is relieved, and there is a smile on her face when she comes out of the kitchen.

Seeing the whole family enjoying the food they made by themselves, Lian Yao only hoped that it could go on like this forever.
