Chapter 16 Autumn Harvest

The next day, Li Man got up early to cook. After dinner, Li's father and mother Li took the sandwich pancakes and kettle prepared by Li Man. After telling Li Man to pay attention to safety, the couple hurried to work. Today they They were assigned to the far west, far away from the cowshed, so they definitely couldn't come back for lunch at noon.

After finishing the meal, Li Man cleaned up the house and went out with five eggs in his arms. In this era when people don't even have enough food to eat, eggs are rare and good things, let alone meat. Serving meat dishes, especially during the autumn harvest, when everyone in the family, men, women, old and young, has to work in the fields. Eggs are a relatively luxurious tonic. Families with good conditions start saving eggs early, just so that their men can have a bite of meat dishes.

"Aunt Song, are you at home?"

"Here you are, oh, girl Man, you come to see my aunt this early in the morning."

"Auntie, I picked up some wild eggs by the river yesterday, and I want to trade them with you for some miso. In our village, you make the best miso."

When Aunt Song saw the five eggs in Li Man's arms, her originally unhappy face suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh, you girl, you have found the right person. No one in our country can make soybean paste as well as I can. Is there anyone who pretends to be soybean paste? There is no aunt who can pretend to be so good. "

"I don't have anything to put the miso in, so can I ask my aunt to make a jar for me? I don't know how many eggs I can get in exchange for it, so I'll just give it to my aunt."

"Okay, just wait, my aunt will get it for you."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the house. Not long after, he came out holding two porcelain jars.

"Girl Man, I'll give you two jars first. I'll get them after I finish eating. I want to get you some more. This jar is not light. Your little body can't even carry it. There's no need to send the jar back. I'm giving it to you. .”

Li Man took the two jars of miso and handed the eggs over to them.

"Thank you, auntie. Two jars are a lot. When I get some wild eggs again, I will come and exchange them for miso."

"Hahaha, you're such a lovable girl, okay, Auntie, remember, Auntie's house is full of miso."

After buying doenjang from Aunt Song's house, Li Man quickly walked to the cowshed, lit a fire and fried two jars of doenjang with eggs, and gave some to his neighbors Aunt Sun and Grandpa Zhao. After all, at least in the cowshed They have to live for another ten years, and some food can make them good friends. Li Man thinks it is more cost-effective. After all, the most important thing she lacks is food.

After that, I walked towards the back mountain with a basket and a sickle on my back, looking at the vast yellow wheat fields along the way.

Several strong men wielded sickles and cut the wheat quickly. After the wheat was harvested, it was transported to the threshing floor by oxcart for stacking. During the busy farming season every year, the children in every household who went to school also took a break to go to the wheat fields to cut and bundle the wheat. wheat.

The wheat in the threshing floor is threshed with a stone roller, and the oxen drags the stone roller in circles and rolls back and forth in the threshing floor.

The autumn harvest period is the hottest time in autumn, and the old man calls it the autumn tiger. However, no matter how hot the weather is, it cannot stop the villagers from being excited about the harvest.

After working hard for a year, several families will be able to pay back the grain money they owe to the village during the harvest. This means that the family will have food in stock in the future and will not have to go hungry. How can this make people unhappy?

Li Man was particularly grateful that he had space and well water. Such weather and workload might not be possible for a strong farm man, let alone his parents who are teachers.

Li Man didn't dare to delay when he saw the busy villagers, and walked quickly to the back mountain to cut fodder for the cattle.

The old scalpers in the cowshed are the main work force and must be fed well. The old scalpers are much more valuable than people and money. In this era, there are few calves and few veterinarians. If the cows are sick, it is difficult to treat them.

Moreover, the cattle in the village are taken care of by people who live in the cowshed. Grandpa Zhao is old and can’t do much except occasionally drive the cattle cart. Now, during the autumn harvest, Li’s father, Li’s mother, and the couple next door are working overloaded every day to take care of them. The important task of the old scalper can only be handed over to eight-year-old Li Man.

Now even if Li Man is sick, no one will say a word. If the old scalper is sick, the people in the cowshed will be drowned in the spit of the villagers unless they are dragged out to criticize him.
