I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 239 Autumn Harvest

"Old man, what are you doing?" When Yi Zhonghai's wife saw him come back, she started rummaging through his old worn-out work clothes.

"Tomorrow the whole factory will organize the autumn harvest, and I will go there in my tattered clothes." Finally, I found a set that looked suitable.

I heard that a big leader will be coming tomorrow, so I have to show up.

Liu Haizhong returned home after a short rest and took a sip of boiled water.

"Mother, bring Guangtian and Guangfu with me to the steel mill to harvest the autumn harvest tomorrow."

"autumn harvest?"

"I have to be more active tomorrow to harvest corn. We will be selecting advanced individuals soon. I can't fall behind and must perform actively.

I heard that the big leaders are coming tomorrow. Whether you can show up or not depends on tomorrow. Listen to me, you two, work hard when you get there tomorrow. If you slack off and embarrass me, I will hang you up and beat you. If you do a good job, I can use my connections to get you into the factory."

Liu Guangtian shuddered. "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

"Well, mother, fry two more eggs today."

Some people’s families wanted to go together, while others didn’t even mention it and obviously didn’t want to go.

When Qiao Yun got home, she also found a set of coarse cloth clothes.

I also took out my work clothes so that Bai Baoshan could wear them tomorrow.

Originally, Bai Baoshan didn't want Qiao Yun to go, because if she scratched her face with the corn leaves, it would leave a bloody mark.

There is no suffering when harvesting wheat, but it is pure suffering when harvesting corn.

But Qiao Yun was a stubborn girl. She refused to listen and insisted on going.

Okay, let’s go.

Not only was Yard 95 busy, but many people in the factory and their families were also busy.

Some go for tomorrow's meal, and you will have a meal when you go.

Not only that, as soon as the villagers from the breeding farms who returned home today told the village chief, the village chief began to gather people to pack up the trucks and prepare to help early tomorrow morning.

By the way, I'll take a look at the corn this time. I heard the harvest is very good.

If possible, they would also like to exchange some corn seeds.

Bai Baoshan got up early in the morning.

I looked at the watch. It was 5 o'clock in the morning and it was already dawn outside.

After making breakfast, Qiao Yun got up, put on the clothes she found yesterday, washed up, and ate.

Bai Baoshan also found a gauze scarf and asked Qiao Yun to cover her face with it when they got to the field to prevent her face from being scratched.

Bring a kettle and towel.

I checked the things I brought and found no problems, then pushed the cart out the door.

The door was still locked at this time.

It's 5: in Beijing and the weather is still very cool.

In a few minutes we arrived at the steel mill.

To Bai Baoshan's surprise, people from several villages had already arrived.

I found a few village chiefs, took out cigarettes and chatted with them for a while. By 6 o'clock, most of the people who could come had arrived.

At 6:20, more than a dozen cars drove over.

The scene made no one here dare to speak loudly.

Director Huang, Deputy Director Li and the factory secretary who had arrived earlier hurried to greet him.

Bai Baoshan followed behind with a camera.

I took a few photos while everyone was shaking hands.

The people who came were from the ministry, as well as from the Ministry of Agriculture, and behind them came people from the newspaper. Well, the steel plant was going to be famous again this time.

Deputy Minister Xu said a few words briefly, and other leaders also said a few words. People from the newspaper office took out their cameras and took pictures.

Bai Baoshan also took a few photos.

In the end, there was nothing much to say. The deputy minister picked up the sack and waved his hand, and it was time to harvest the corn.

All the people who were ready started breaking the sacks with their hands.

Someone behind was using a shovel to dig out the corn stalks, and the women who followed were responsible for collecting the corn stalks and clearing a path.

There is a cart at the back for putting the harvested corn on.

Everyone has their own division of labor, and of course no one is stingy.

Killed 5 pigs directly.

The fastest thing is cooking.

Stir-fried beans with meat, stir-fried potatoes with meat, stir-fried three fresh vegetables, kelp and pork bone soup.

Big steamed buns made from Sanhe noodles.

All the dishes today are all you can eat.

Half of it was collected by lunchtime.

Many older people and some children who came here gathered around the corn pile and started digging it.

How to dry corn without peeling the leaves?

Bai Baoshan and Qiao Yun sat together during the meal. Looking at Qiao Yun, who was like a little cat, Bai Baoshan felt so distressed. Fortunately, Qiao Yun was wearing a gauze scarf, long-sleeved clothes and gloves.

Otherwise, he would be the same as those people. Even Deputy Minister Bai Baoshan saw a scratch on his face.

He worked hard for the whole morning.

The food we eat is the same as everyone else.

People from the Ministry of Agriculture have roughly estimated the corn yield, which is around 780 kilograms per acre.

After drying, it is estimated to weigh about 720 kilograms.

It is about 100 kilograms higher than the current average yield per mu.

Although many village heads do not know the number estimated by experts, they will estimate that the corns are much larger than those they grow.

Anyone with eyesight can see that this corn is better than the ones they grow.

The leaders of the department and people from the newspaper ate, took some photos, and left in a hurry.

The remaining people were all villagers from the surrounding area and people from the steel mill, and they were all much more relaxed now.

There is always a sense of oppression among those people.

After lunch in the afternoon, we took a short break for about ten minutes, and then everything started to get busy again.

At this time, several village chiefs came towards Bai Baoshan.

"Haha... uncles, something's wrong." Bai Baoshan took out a cigarette box and gave each of them a cigarette.

"Well... Leader Bai, a few of us have discussed it and would like to exchange it for some corn seeds. Do you think it's okay?" A village chief took the cigarette, but did not smoke it and put it between his ears.

Bai Baoshan handed each person another cigarette and lit it with his lighter. "Okay, of course. We still follow the old rules. Two kilograms for one kilogram. Is that okay?"

"Oh, this is what you are, leader."

"Leader, you are so generous."

Several village heads were smoking and of course speaking nice words.

After a few pleasantries and finishing his cigarette, he wiped his face with a towel and ran towards the field.

The more than 300 acres of crops here were harvested in the morning.

I saw that all the corn stalks had been dug out.

As for contacting the tractor to turn the soil and apply fertilizer, we have to wait for two more days.

I heard that the government will allocate 2 tons of nitrogen fertilizer, I don't know if it's true or not, when the time comes, mix it with pig manure, chicken manure, sheep manure, etc., and spread it all on the land. Although it's a little, it's almost the same.

Next year should still be a good harvest.

I was busy until about 6pm.

More than 1 people and 2000 acres of land were harvested in one day.

This is the power of unity.

As for the sweet potatoes, potatoes and other miscellaneous things planted around, the people at the farm will be able to harvest them slowly.

Although I finished it, it was a waste of time to finish it. It was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that I finished it.

Fortunately, there is such a big moon in the sky.

Qiao Yun was so tired that she just took a simple bath and Bai Baoshan washed her hair.

I fell asleep while taking a shower.

Dry your hair and carry you to bed.

After squeezing all the mosquitoes that strayed into the house, I went outside, sat on a recliner, and took out some snacks and a bottle of beer.

He drank it with relish while looking at the sky.

Tomorrow is a new beginning.
