Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

  Chapter 190 Autumn Harvest

  The vigorous autumn harvest movement began. Han Mingxiu, like Sun Aotun’s other members, was involved in the intense and busy autumn harvest movement.

  Two days on Saturday and Sunday, she and her eldest sister got up early and greedily took back the potatoes from the two-point private plot at home. The potato sprouts were temporarily left in the field to dry, and they were transported back to burn when they were completely dried.

   Then I began to pick up the garden. I first picked out the sweet potatoes in the back garden. The sweet potato seedlings were tender and kept to feed the pigs. The old ones were thrown on the firewood and kept on the fire.

Most of the greens in the garden are also ripe, and they will grow old if you don’t pick them off. She picked off the ripe tomatoes, peppers, beans, melons, squashes, eggplants, cucumbers, etc., and picked them slightly more tender. Stored in the space, the oldest kept the seeds for the coming year, and the rest were cut into slices and dried into dried vegetables.

  For those dishes that disappeared for no reason, she explained to the elder sister that they were sent to Uncle Gao.

  The eldest sister is a good fool, she easily fooled the eldest sister with a few words.

  After processing the vegetables in the garden, the autumn harvest movement of the production team officially began.

  Han Mingxiu didn't care about the work points of the production team, but in order not to be made irresponsible, he went to work like everyone else.

  She was assigned the job of breaking the corn. The process of her work is to walk along the ditch of the cornfield, breaking the corn on the corn pole while walking, and then throwing the corn to the ground.

After   , some male staff members will use a sickle to knock down the broken corn rods, tie them into bundles, and transport the corn rods away.

  The female staff is then responsible for picking up the corn sticks thrown on the ground into piles, and finally loading them together and pulling them back to the production team’s compound, drying them, and threshing...

The job of breaking the rice is not so dry. It is not how tiring the process of breaking the rice is, or when you walk through the rice field during the breaking, the leaves of the rice will scratch your face, making the face burnt, and the skin is tender. All are easily scratched.

  Han Mingxiu belonged to the guy with the tender skin. When he finished breaking a ridge, his face was scratched one after another, and all the blood responded, making Han Mingxiu grin in pain.

  But this season, the weather is still a bit sultry, and you can’t cover your face. Otherwise, the heat and the labor movement will make people short of breath. If you cover your face, you will be even more breathless.

  So I can only hold on.

After breaking the two ridges, Han Mingxiu couldn't hold it anymore, feeling like her face was scratched, one by one, and she finally went to the supply and marketing agency by bicycle regardless of what others looked at. I bought a veil and wrapped it around my head, only cut a hole in the nostril to keep breathing.

  Relying on this magical equipment, she finally survived a six-day career of breaking rice.

Han Mingxiu doesn’t care about everyone saying she is squeamish and harmful (cutting a nice scarf is a scourge in everyone’s eyes), as long as she completes her task, others like to say what they say. Well, she doesn't care.

  After breaking the corn, they did not rest, and then began to pick the corn again.

  The work of grilling rice is done by female members, because male members have more difficult tasks to do.

  Because of the physical advantage of men, they are all sent to the field to smash the stabs.

Zhazi is the part that remains in the ground after the rice stalks are chopped down. There is no mincer in this era, so those stuck in the ground have to be digged out one by one, and the roots of the shaved stalks all carry a lot of them. For the soil, the members have to carry one with each hand, and violently knock the two stubs against each other until the soil at the roots is knocked down.

Knocked out the stubs can be used for fire. Generally, when the production team distributes firewood, each household can also get some stubs. Although everyone is unwilling to use the stubs to burn the fire, there is no way. There are not enough rice poles. It can only be burned.

When picking rice, Han Mingxiu was assigned to the group of the captain's wife. Han Mingxiu is not picky. No matter which group she is assigned to, she just does her work seriously.

  When she came to her group, several women in the same group had already come, and they were sitting together chatting.

  Han Mingxiu sat down silently and listened to their parents’ short stories while working.

  Don’t say, she really heard a few news that interest her.

  First of all, her good cousin, Han Mingyan, is already in high school. I don’t know where I got the money, but I went anyway. I heard that the one in that high school is pretty weird!

  I also heard that from the beginning of October, the villagers will be able to cross the meat.

   is the meat that was signed when the village was credited with pigs and lambs. It was all agreed at the beginning. If the state credits you a piglet, you have to hand it over to the state for 100 catties of meat.

  Everyone disagrees with this news. It's not yet December. How can pigs grow so fast?

  However, Han Mingxiu was secretly happy, because any of her two pigs was enough for her to pay the two hundred catties of pork.
