That year and month 23

What are you most afraid of when harvesting crops?

The only answer is the impermanent weather.

The Great Northern Wilderness also has its own microclimate, which is the sunrise in the east and rain in the west. The rain will come down.

But can the wheat not be harvested? It is really rotten when it is put in the field. When it rains, the harvester is not easy to use, especially with such machinery and equipment now, which can really make people desperate.

What to do? Each person has a sickle, and it is harvested by manpower.

No one in the world can escape, including Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master.

Each person has a leap of wheat. At this time, as long as you stand on the ground, you can deeply feel how big this northern wilderness is. You can’t see it at a glance.

Although it rained, the weather was so hot that the young men were vests. The sauce was red, green, white, and blue. Just these. Looking around, the clothes were filled with words such as "labor is the most glorious", "the vast countryside has great achievements", "serving the people", and "learning from Comrade Lei Feng".

The vest on the Fourth Master was found by Lin Yutong in the space. It was white and clean, with no prints. It looked a bit special.

Lin Yutong also wore a sweat-wiping towel around her neck and was wearing long sleeves. She even tied her cuffs tightly. She brought a small medicine bag for herself and the Fourth Master to prevent mosquitoes from biting them.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong can harvest wheat. In the past, there were not many wheat seeds in the Old Summer Palace, but they all harvested them by themselves. Occasionally, they would call the fourth master’s bad brothers. Of course, no matter who they call him, it would be a blessing. Once, Ninth Master broke his job and was afraid that Honghui would punish him. So he went into the garden without saying a word, begging him not to leave. At that time, it was the time to harvest wheat, and it happened that the melons in the field were about to mature. He took the initiative to live in the melon shed and show the melon fields for the Fourth Master. He said that he was afraid that someone would steal the melons. Seeing his ghosts go, who dared to steal watermelons in the Old Summer Palace.

As a result, Honghui asked Hong Zhao to enter the garden to invite someone. Hong Zhao was naughty, and he was naughty at how many years old he grew up. Seeing that it was Jiu Ye who looked at melon fields, he actually picked the melons in the garden secretly. Any big-sized ones that looked ripe were picked and hid them in the middle of the night. Jiu Ye was so scared that he couldn't stand up the next day. He didn't look at melon fields, so he didn't lose the melon fields. When he looked at melon fields, why did he lose this thing? Uncle and nephew, one said that he was a thief who stole melons, and the other said that this was a custodian. Even the Fourth Master was so angry that he couldn't stand up. A pair of unreliable things.

Now that I think about it again, it’s really the same thing as my previous life.

Now, the two of them bent down, but their moods of harvesting wheat are no longer the same.

The ridges they had were close to each other, and the Fourth Master occupied half of the ridge, which was equivalent to harvesting one and half of the ridges, and Lin Yutong only had to harvest half of the ridges.

Lin Yutong couldn't bear to work hard for him. So his subordinates flew and cut them quickly. After the Fourth Master, they turned around and took him back. The two of them alternated so much that they were not inferior to others. Although they were not the best group, they did not fall behind.

The rain kept falling, flowing down the face. The towel around Lin Yutong's neck was wet and deep in a short while.

I couldn't go back for lunch, so the stewardship team sent steamed buns, and each person divided them into two steamed buns. I swallowed them in the rain.

Lin Yutong had to lament the hard-working quality of these people.

She ate one and gave the other to the Fourth Master. This place cannot be eaten secretly in public. Even if she ate it secretly, she would not attract attention. The Fourth Master would not be able to do it. He was not polite. He probably knew that he had a steamed bun, which was a bit difficult to swallow. He took it over and ate it. Then Lin Yutong gave him the water in the kettle on his body to prevent him from catching a cold when he was in the rain.

The Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong, handed his coat to Lin Yutong, "put it on."

It’s wet inside and outside, what’s the difference between wearing it or not?

Lin Yutong shook her head. The Fourth Master stubbornly put her clothes on Lin Yutong, then raised her arm and stuffed it into her sleeve.

What's wrong with this?

The clothes on my body are soaked. Can I feel good when I wear another wet clothes on my body?

It was not until the Fourth Master tidied up his clothes on his chest that Lin Yutong understood.

I was wearing a white shirt, but there was a pink bra inside. The girls of this era wore that vest, just like the ones worn by the old and old ladies in later generations. So, when the clothes were wet, there was no way to tell anything. But Lin Yutong's shaping effect was really great. In addition, the shaping effect was good. The chest was surging. This wet effect was really a bit inappropriate for children.

She smiled awkwardly and sorted out her clothes. She didn't forget to tease him, "...do you want to..."

The Fourth Master glared at her and said, "Go back and get rid of you."

Fortunately, they were so tired that they seemed like dogs, and no one paid attention to her. Looking up like this, some were lying on the wheat stubble ground, and they didn't care about the thrust, and they didn't bother to worry about water and mud. They just lay down and let the raindrops hit her. There were also two or three people sitting back to back, with a piece of clothing on their heads, which could at least block the rain.

People in later generations always said that women are used as men and men are used as animals. Lin Yutong felt that they should really ask them to see the young people of this era. This is women are used as animals and men are used as machines.

The afternoon rain showed no signs of stopping. After resting for half an hour, I had to continue working.

It was dark before Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were cut off their heads. They sat on the ground to rest. They could not go back without permission. Because I wonder if the company commander would say something about working overtime overnight.

As a result, I didn’t have to work overtime in the field at night because I had to go back to the big field to work overtime.

The wheat that was pulled back today must be threshed overnight and then dried, otherwise it will become hot and mildewy when it is held together.

It was another night. When it was dawn, I could finally rest, but Lin Yutong still couldn't live a peaceful life. Because the big kang in the dormitory of the educated youth had to be used to dry wheat. These educated youth had to squeeze in Lin Yutong's courtyard. The men and women, on and under the kang, as well as the infirmary in front, and the mechanics teams were all occupied. The same was true for those old employees, three or five men and women in a separate place. All the rest had to be freed up.

This is not summer harvest, it is simply a battle.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master couldn't open a small kitchen. They started eating the cafeteria. This time, they were so tired that they were so tired that the army was not stingy. They killed a pig, stewed beans and eggplant, and each of them served a bowl. Lin Yutong actually felt that it was better than any delicacies in the mountains and seas.

"What do you think?" she asked the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master rubbed her head. He wasn't very hungry. Who would think this could be compared with the delicacies of mountains and seas?

But with such efforts, the wheat this year is still not successful. Not to mention the reduction in yield, there are still many moldy ones. It can be predicted that the food rations for everyone in the second half of the year will be this moldy wheat.

After harvesting summer grain, it is time to plant corn and soybeans. This sowing is even more deadly, because you have to pay attention to the farming time. It is a little later. When it is in autumn, it will not mature when it falls into frost, and it will be useless.

Fortunately, the machine can be used, and the Fourth Master has been liberated. Lin Yutong also needs to pay attention to harvesting various medicinal materials. There is no need to go to the field. Just tell a few children who are half old and go to find them, and Lin Yutong will prepare them at home.

But at this time, the company had a new task. Since everyone had no vegetables last winter, this year, single educated youth were allowed to open up land and grow vegetables for themselves. If you want to eat in the canteen, you weigh the vegetables every day and hand them over to the canteen, and ask the steward team to cook them. However, this kind of reclaiming land and growing vegetables cannot delay everyone's collective labor.

That means you must get up at night or work overtime before dawn.

If you want to use the machine in the company, it is just a dream. The machine does not consume fuel? Is this little oil in the company easy? Besides, when you start, who will do it if it breaks?

Using cattle, horses and mules is even more a dream. Can the animals still move the next day without resting? Can they harm the interests of the company for themselves?

Resolutely not.

In short, machines have to rest and animals have to rest. People don’t need to rest.

The company commander and instructor have started the vegetable field for themselves. Do others still want to make it special?

Dry!

So, lit a torch and along the river bank, one person could drive more than half of the acres of land. Fourth Master and Lin Yutong opened more than one acre of land. What could they grow? Apart from cabbage, they were radishes. It was too late for any other vegetables.

In order not to make the dishes of your own are not special, Lin Yutong dared not use spring water to water the ground too much. Every time she blends a small cup of water, she can mix it with half a cup. Even so, the dishes in her own fields seem more energetic than others.

"At that time, I sprinkled a little wood ash." This is how the Fourth Master explained.

But it was dark at that time, but who knew he had sprinkled or not.

But the other party still believed it, "I originally planned to scatter, but I stole a little lazy at that time, and the effect immediately became different. It's really 'people coaxed the ground and the belly'. There is no way to fake it at all."

The Fourth Master nodded seriously, and these words were all correct.

In autumn, Lin Yutong's acre of cabbage and half acre of radishes grew very well. Each radish was one foot long and thick.

Lin Yutong is so wise, but they don’t like to eat radish at all.

"Take a car to Uncle Wang." The Fourth Master said. This was grown by himself, and it was nothing to give to people. The supply of vegetables in the city was even more difficult than in the countryside. Although Uncle Wang had some power, it was just as difficult.

Lin Yutong nodded. When he was visiting during the Chinese New Year, he saw that Aunt Wang was reluctant to throw away the cabbage roots. He cut them into thin slices and boiled them in water.

When we entertain guests in the city, we can bring out a bowl of water to make radishes in the middle of winter, it must be a generous family.
