Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 79 Harvest
When Jiang Defu whistled home, Jiang Dehua was standing at the door looking around.

"Third brother, where have you been? Second brother didn't see you when he went to the village entrance or the second uncle's house just now. Now he is going to Daniu's house to see if you are there!"

Jiang Dehua saw Jiang Defu coming over in a hurry and said.

It was already getting late, and Jiang Decai wasn't very relieved that Jiang Defu hadn't come back yet.

In the mountains, unlike other places, there might be some animals out and about at night. People would stay together even if they went out to enjoy the cool air or something like that.

And there is not much entertainment in rural areas nowadays. It's better when the weather is hot. People will come out to enjoy the coolness and go to bed later. In winter, they really go to bed as soon as it gets dark.

It’s no wonder that in this era there are so many children, going to bed so early at night, and making children has become the only entertainment!

"Um, I went for a spin over there!"

Jiang Defu said vaguely.

"Sister Guilan, go and send a message to the second brother, saying that the third brother is back!"

While the two were talking, they saw Zhang Guilan coming from one side, apparently looking for him too.

Zhang Guilan responded and went to find Jiang Decai.

"Third brother, you seem to be in a good mood today!"

Jiang Dehua just heard Jiang Defu whistling. Based on her current understanding of this third brother, he seems to be in a good mood today.

"Well, not bad!"

Jiang Defu smiled.

……

In the days that followed, the Jiang family became much cleaner.

Liu Chunlan and Liu Fengsheng's family used to visit Jiang's house frequently, but now they hardly visit them.

People in the village started to talk about this matter, but with the arrival of the wheat harvest season in May, people were busy harvesting wheat, and no one cared about the shortcomings of so many families.

Eating comes first!

The wheat farm in Shixiazi Village is bustling with activity.

Jiang Defu had never seen this kind of wheat threshing scene in his previous life.

Although he had spent time in the countryside when he was a child, there were already wheat threshing machines at that time, and later machines harvested crops directly in the fields.

He has never participated in any of these, and has only seen them rarely.

Nowadays, the way of harvesting wheat here in Shixiazi Village is more traditional.

The threshing floor was directly driven by stone rollers. Those who had livestock used animals, and those who did not had to manually pull the stone rollers.

A month before the wheat was confiscated, people were busy cleaning up the wheat field.

Then there is the harvesting of wheat. Sickles and shovels are the main tools, which are used to cut the wheat.

Worried that the weather will be too hot, the wheat will be too dry, and the wheat grains will fall into the ground, many people choose to harvest in the morning or at night.

At these two times, the wheat is less dry, and of course it is cooler.

After people cut the wheat, they use a frame truck to pull it to the wheat field to dry in the sun for two days, and then grind the wheat manually with stone mills or animals.

After being crushed, the field is turned over, and the wheat straw is stacked and used as winter feed for livestock or for cooking pots.

What's left is wheat and chaff, and winnowing is needed to separate the clean wheat.

The whole process can be said to be very complicated, at least for Jiang Defu. After all, harvesting wheat from dozens of acres in his previous life was too mechanized and fast.

Even though it was a hot day, people were working enthusiastically with smiles on their faces.

"Ouch! Changsheng, how many cars has your family pulled? I don't even know how much your two acres of land have produced. I really like people!"

Some people looked at Liu Changsheng's tall carriage and said with some envy.

"Your family is not bad. I see that the wheat field is full. You still have two acres in the north that have not been harvested. After harvesting this, you will have a lot of grain today, right?"

Liu Changsheng also responded with a smile, his mouth never closing with joy.Because he kept pulling the wheat stalks, the wheat ash flew up on his face, giving him a painted face. When he spoke, he could see his big white teeth.

But he didn't take it too seriously, and outsiders didn't find it surprising.

The farmers don't care if they are dirty when they work. For them, even the beautiful women in the village don't pay much attention to it at this time. They only care about their own food harvest.

This year's wheat planting is basically based on what the three boys of the Jiang family said. The wheat stalks are not very tall, at least compared to previous years. The wheat stalks are very low, but the wheat ears are really big and full, and the wheat heads are hanging down. of!
Especially when it's harvest time, you can tell by opening an ear of wheat that this year will be a good harvest.

Every family's wheat field has been expanded, hoping to make wheat threshing easier.

Shi Daniu's family was the most active in expanding their wheat farm.

Their family has little land. In previous years, the wheat stalks grown in one acre of fertile land grew well, but the wheat ears were pitiful. One bag of wheat per one acre of land was good, sometimes less, or even half a bag.

Aunt Shi was worried that the wheat would be crushed and lost in the wheat field.

He and Shi Daniu cut the wheat ears with scissors and put them in the bag. Then they took them home and rubbed them with a dustpan, so as not to waste a grain of wheat.

This year, in addition to the more than one acre of fertile land, their family also planted wheat on their wasteland.

The wasteland had been planted in the past, but the yield was too little. Only wheat straw grew, not much wheat, and sometimes it was a loss. Their family was burning food and living a hard life, so they simply stopped planting except for fertile fields.

The weather has been good this year, and the wheat has grown very tall. Even the wheat grains in the wasteland on the mountains are better than those in the fertile fields in previous years.

Aunt Shi was so happy that she couldn't get over it. She asked Shi Daniu to organize and expand the wheat field early.

"Aunt Shi, your wheat production this year is the best in the village!"

Someone said enviously.

Although many people planted wheat and fertilized it according to the method Jiang Defu said, not many people planted it in the wasteland on the hilltop like Shi Daniu's family.

Shi Daniu's family has planted six acres of wheat today, which is the envy of many people.

"It's not bad! I should be able to eat more white steamed buns this year!"

Aunt Shi smiled.

"The days are getting better and better! Your big cow is really capable. Isn't the big cow old enough to propose marriage?"

Looking at Shi Daniu, who was naked and working hard on the wheat field, someone chatted with him.

Shi Daniu's family was too poor in the early years, and there were only two of them, his wife. They were considered to be poor households in the village.

Nowadays, their family is getting more and more food, and Shi Daniu is also capable. Not only is he an expert in farming now, but following Jiang Defu, they often go hunting in the mountains and get a lot of mountain products. They often go to the town to exchange money and food. Life is getting better and better. !
This is how it is in rural areas. They are not afraid of you being poor. As long as you are down-to-earth and capable, and your life is getting better day by day, someone will see you and be willing to introduce someone to you.

If you have a good girl at home, you don’t have to worry about getting married. If you have a good husband at home, many people want you!
This has been the case since ancient times!

When you are strong and capable, many people will naturally come to you.

Nowadays, the wheat threshing season is not short. Many families only finish it in ten and a half days.

People happily share this year's harvest.

The Jiang Defu family is naturally doing well. It snowed a few times in winter, and there is no shortage of rain this year. The wheat is growing really well.

One acre of good land weighs nearly 1000 kilograms, while poor land weighs eight to nine hundred kilograms.

Compared with Jiang Defu's previous life, this yield is not high. In some places, it is common for wheat yields to be [-] per acre.

However, Jiang Defu felt quite satisfied. At least their family grew enough white flour.

The joy on Jiang Decai and Zhang Guilan's faces could not be hidden.

Even though they were very economical, after harvesting the wheat, they started to steam several pots of white flour steamed buns and made white flour noodles to improve their lives.

"Third brother, this white noodles is so delicious. In the past, I couldn't even think about it!"

Jiang De ate one in a few mouthfuls, feeling a little unsatisfied.

"Get wealth! Get wealth! Are you at home?"

While having dinner, there was a knock on the door outside.
