The days when I am farming in the last days

When it rained in autumn, it was always pattering and endless, so when the weather finally cleared, the whole family rushed to battle and collected all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the field.If you don't collect it, it will be easily broken if it is retting by rain.

Fortunately, this year's situation is special. I dug some before and sent them to the city to sell, so there are not many left. I use the ox plow to plow it again, and people only need to follow behind to pick it up, and I can harvest a lot in a day.

But taking it back is not enough.

Disassemble according to size and condition.The big, round and complete ones are stored separately, and they can be eaten at home or sent to the city for sale.The ones that are not slippery and have many buds should be kept as seeds for next year.The ones that have been dug up, the ones that are too small, and the ones that are too poor in appearance are kept as pig feed.

The potatoes that have just been harvested are very rich in starch.Every morning when Tang Ma chops potatoes for the pigs to eat, she leaves the layer of starch in the basin.

"Why do you keep this?" Jiang Dai was a little curious when she saw it for the first time.

"Of course it's delicious." Tang Han said, "You'll know when the time comes."

I didn't wait too long, I chopped up a pot of potatoes every day, and after a few days, I had half a pot of starch.Tang Han took it out, added water, stirred it well, poured it into a pot and heated it slowly over low heat, while stirring it constantly with a spatula, it would condense into a transparent dough in a short time.

Take it out and let it cool, and then slice it into the soup, or cut it into strips for stir-frying, the taste is very good.

The more Jiang Dai looked at it, the more familiar it became. She waited until the dish was cooked and tasted it before finally confirming, "This is the stew."

"Braise?"

"There are quite a lot in the north." Jiang Dai said.According to her understanding, the stews in different places are still different. The raw materials are potato starch, sweet potato starch, and yam starch. The softness, hardness and taste are even different.Overall, however, there are similarities.

Tang Han was amazed when he heard it, "We eat casually here, it seems that there is no special name."

The main reason is that I didn't do anything special, that is, when I usually chop a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, I can keep some.At other times, I would not collect them on purpose, let alone smash potatoes and sweet potatoes on purpose just to obtain starch to make this.

Probably because the locals are more used to eating rice noodles.

What should be harvested is almost harvested, and in the end even the corn stalks left in the field cannot be let go.Here is a mountainous area, and there is no shortage of fuel, so they are all collected as feed for livestock.After all, they cannot be released to graze in winter, they can only be fed with forage.

After all the things that should be collected are collected, they can finally rest for a few days.

Although there are still various things to be busy at home, on the whole, everyone's spirits are much more relaxed, not as tense as they were during the busy farming season.

And because of the electricity, I gradually started to stay up late again. I didn’t go to bed until eleven or twelve o’clock every day, and I didn’t get up until six o’clock in the morning.Fortunately, the weather is getting shorter and shorter, and it doesn't dawn until seven or eight o'clock in the morning, but I don't look very lazy.

If there is anything wrong with staying at home, it is really not so convenient to be intimate with so many people.

Even small movements like pulling hands can only be done behind someone's back.

And mainly because Tang Han was always under the nose of Tang's father and Tang's mother, Tang Han always felt very guilty.

So she took the initiative to take over the work of herding cattle, and took Jiang Dai up the mountain to play every day when it didn't rain.Find a place with a lot of weeds and put the cattle down, and their time is free.

The time sequence has entered late autumn, and the weather is not so hot. When you enter the mountains at this time, you will not leave a red mark when you are touched by the leaves like in summer. It is the season of high and refreshing autumn.

The products in the autumn forest are very rich. Although most of them are wild fruits with bad taste, if you eat them fresh, you don't care much about them.

Wild plums, wild pears, wild grapes...sometimes you can also pick some dry goods such as fungus and sagebrush.

When not going into the mountains and forests, I lie on the grass that has accumulated over the years to bask in the sun and roll around, feeling comfortable and leisurely.The mountains and forests are peaceful, and there are very few people around. No matter what you do, you don't have to worry about being seen.

At such times, time seems to be elongated, which reminds people of words such as "eternal" and "long-lasting".It is not an earth-shattering and vigorous promise, but it flows in ordinary days one after another, and flows in the changes of light and shadow at every moment.

Such a leisurely day was broken by a bad news.

Tang Feng called. After the gradual opening of various places, there will always be people coming and going. Although the flow is not as good as before, there are still hidden dangers.The virus, which seemed to have been completely isolated, spread out for some unknown reason, and spread again with these floating people.

Although the government responded quickly this time and brought the situation under control in a short period of time, it still sounded a wake-up call for everyone.

—The situation has not completely improved, we are still in danger.

All aspects that had been gradually relaxed, became tense again.Qin Yu went to the city to see it once, and when he came back, he said that the county town was under martial law again, and people were not allowed to walk around if there was nothing to do, and there were hardly any people on the street that had just become more lively.

This made him make up his mind.

After dinner that day, the family sat in front of the stove and chatted, Qin Yu mentioned his plan to Tang's father and Tang mother, "Uncle, aunt, I want to buy a piece of land in our village and build a house."

Tang's parents and Tang's mother were a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly think of building a house?"

Qin Yu is a businessman, and he will definitely leave when the epidemic is over.In fact, after the lockdown was gradually lifted, he could leave. After all, his parents were still at home, and he would be taken care of when he returned.The reason why he decided to stay in the village was for his children.

It would be better for Ozawa to stay in the country than to be quarantined at home after returning to the city.Ready to go outside and play with the little ones in the village.

But everyone has always agreed that he will not live here for too long. In the future, he will go back to take care of his business and home, and Ozawa will go back to school, so it is impossible to continue living here.So it was a little surprising to hear him talk about buying land and building a house.

Qin Yu brought this up, of course, after careful consideration, "I think this epidemic will not be stabilized within this year, and it may drag on for three to five years, and it may even become an epidemic that cannot be cured in the end."

These are all rumors circulating on the Internet and have been confirmed by many experts who have discussed them before.

And after this incident, Qin Yu felt that living in the country was indeed better than living in the city.Both his parents have retired and have nothing to do. It is not a bad thing for them to move to the countryside to retire, plant fields and climb mountains, and breathe fresh air.

Not to mention that this epidemic does not know when it will end, it is more reassuring to live here.Even in the future, in case of emergencies or accidents, it will be easier to deal with it than in the city.

At least there is no need to wait for the government to allocate food.

He actually wanted to bring his parents here before, but it was impossible for them all to live in the Tang family, and he didn't know how long they would live there. He thought it was not suitable, and his parents didn't agree, so he just I went back to visit.

Now that the epidemic has been repeated, Qin Yu regrets not insisting on letting people move here.

But it's not too late to prepare now, so he plans to approve a piece of land and build a house in the village.I can't take people over this year, but I can always next year.There was no need to delay this kind of thing, so after he thought about it, he said it directly.

Although he is with the village

I am familiar with the people in the village, but I am still an outsider after all, so I want to ask Dad Tang for help in this matter, and make peace with the village committee.

In recent years, only those who have moved to the city, I have not seen a few who have moved from the city to the countryside.Although Tang's father and Tang's mother were a little surprised, they did understand after hearing what he said.Qin Yu is still a little proud of choosing to build a house in the village: Our countryside is not useless, is it?

So Father Tang immediately said, "It should be no problem, everyone in the village is familiar with you, and you have helped me a lot this year, so I definitely won't refuse."

Nowadays, many people in the village have moved away, the population is getting smaller and smaller, and there are many vacant lands, so it is easy to buy them.

Qin Yu is a vigorous and resolute person. Hearing what Tang's father said, he said, "Then let's talk to the village party secretary now? Now that the things in the field are all done, it should be settled as soon as possible, and I will find someone to get materials. Start construction and try to build the house before the Chinese New Year."

There is no talk of going to and from get off work in the village.Everyone is busy during the day, and there are often people at home at night, so it is normal to talk about things after guessing that other people have eaten at night.

Father Tang had no objection to this, and got up to find the flashlight.

Seeing this, Jiang Dai also stood up and said, "Then add me."

"You also want to build a house?" Tang Ma was a little surprised.

Jiang Dai nodded and said with a smile, "This is a good place, I like it very much. I quit my job when I came here, but now I think it's good to settle here. If possible, of course it would be better to build a house. It would be better to pack a piece of land."

"The land in the village is allotted, you have to discuss it with the owner." Tang Ma said.

"Well, let's see when the time comes." Jiang Dai smiled and nodded.

So she and Qin Yu went out with Father Tang.During this period, Mama Tang hesitated to speak several times. She wanted to follow, but in the end she didn't go and left Tang Han behind.

When the person left, she asked, "Jiang Dai won't go back now? What did she do before, our life here is not suitable for her?"

"Whether it's suitable or not, she knows in her own mind." Tang said vaguely.

Tang's mother couldn't help but glanced at her, and suddenly asked, "What about you, you resigned and came back before. When the epidemic is over, will you go back to find a job?"

Although Tang's mother never cared much about these things, after staying at home for so long, it's normal for her to care about it. Tang Han didn't think much about it, and said casually, "I don't want to go out, I plan to stay at home to help you, how about it?" ?”

Hearing what she said, Tang's mother couldn't help frowning, but she quickly suppressed it, "Help? You're almost a disservice!"
