In the blink of an eye, it has been a few months since I went to the countryside. When I first came here, I still saw a little bit of green, but now the ground is golden.
Autumn comes with light steps, bringing the joy of harvest.
Everyone in the village is ready to harvest crops. It depends on the right time, place and people. The food is obviously different in the early days and late days, so the harvest time is concentrated in a certain period of time. Pay attention to the weather changes. If you catch up, If it rains continuously, the quality of the food soaked in water will be greatly reduced, and more work will be required.
During the autumn harvest, everyone must participate and concentrate all efforts to collect grain. All work must be compromised for the autumn harvest, so that a year's hard work cannot be wasted.
Song Yingwan was naturally no exception. She also wanted to participate. Those old educated youths who had participated in the autumn harvest had already begun to remind them that they had to shed a layer of skin after the autumn harvest, which made them nervous.
The day before, the captain called everyone to hold a meeting specifically for this year's autumn harvest. Firstly, it was to boost everyone's morale, and secondly, it was to arrange the specific matters for the autumn harvest. This is also a necessary ritual before the autumn harvest every year.
The next day, the autumn harvest officially begins!
Song Yingwan started work an hour earlier than usual. Song Yingwan was fully armed, still wearing long sleeves, long trousers and a hat. Sister-in-law Hongying also reminded her to bring water. She filled a full pot today for fear of heatstroke. Also added a little salt to it.
This time Song Yingwan and Tang Xiaotang were assigned to the same team, and they happened to take care of each other. This was the first time they worked together. In the past, Tang Xiaotang would go to another piece of land alone.
With the sound of the order, everyone began to take action. The field was full of people. Rows of wheat ears were knocked down and neatly stacked together. Looking at them, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
The autumn harvest was proceeding like fire, but she was really tired. At the end of the day, Song Yingwan had no strength to move at all. Her legs were shaking with every step she took. She was really afraid that she would kneel down while walking.
After a month of waking up early and working late at night, all the grain in the fields was collected in the granary. People in Liujia Village would stop and take a look every time they passed by. This was the confidence for their lives in the next year!
Indeed, as they said, everyone has lost weight after the autumn harvest. Even those who have worked all year round cannot withstand such intensive and laborious labor, let alone the educated youth from the city.
I don’t know who made the first suggestion that day. The male educated youths were clamoring to go hunting in the mountains. However, it was also the autumn harvest time and they were very tired. Everyone wanted to eat well, so they left after a while. There was a huge group of people. Went back to the mountain.
There is a shortage of food these days, and the people in Liujia Village also know how to rely on the mountains to eat. However, as time goes by, the animals on the mountains have learned to master it, and it is really difficult to catch those without any real skills, so they female educated youths have no hope, so they just When they were waiting for a long time at the educated youth point, they wanted to go up the mountain.
But when it got dark and no one came back, the others couldn't help but start to get anxious. The vegetation on Daqing Mountain is dense and there are many kinds of animals. There is no shortage of ferocious animals such as wild boars and wolves, so no one in the village is willing to go deep into the mountains. Go, that's no joke, your life will be lost if you don't care.
After the meal was ready, they had no intention of eating. They all waited anxiously in the yard. Finally, Xu Xiuyu couldn't wait any longer and stood up to go to the captain's house. As soon as they reached the door, they heard the bustling sounds outside.
When he opened the door, he saw Chen Xiangdong and Zhang Guoan standing there covered in blood. Xu Xiuyu shivered with fright and looked at them speechless. Others also heard the noise and came out and saw Xu Xiuyu standing there motionless. They were also frightened when they came closer. For a moment, these people had never seen such a scene before, and they screamed and backed away.
Song Yingwan was not worried at first, but Xia Jun roared next to her, which scared her so much that her heart skipped a beat.
Zhang Guoan walked in quickly when he heard the screams and whispered, "Hush! Hush! Stop screaming! Stop screaming, this is not our blood."
After hearing this, they calmed down, but still did not dare to approach. Xu Xiuyu emboldened herself and asked, "Then what's going on with you? You're covered in blood. Where are the others?"
Zhang Guoan, "We were lucky. We killed a wild boar on the mountain. They are behind. We will come back first to explore the way."
Song Yingwan took a breath, wild boar? These people are really lucky!
The other people were also in disbelief. Qu Xiaoling said disgustedly, "What did you do with a wild boar? It's dirty and smelly."
Chen Xiangdong said in a contemptuous tone, "What do you know? This is all meat, don't eat it if you can!"
Qu Xiaoling, "You..."
Zhang Guoan interrupted quickly, "Okay, just say a few words. We'll attract people later. Don't let the villagers know about this, otherwise your work will be in vain."
Lin Zhi, who was standing aside, heard this and his eyes flashed, but he quickly covered it up.
Chen Xiangdong stopped talking. He was pointing at this wild boar to satisfy his craving for meat!
Although Qu Xiaoling said she disliked it, she also knew that it was still a piece of meat anyway. She drooled when she thought of the chicken she stewed last time.
After a while, I heard a sound. Several people came back carrying a pig, followed by Xie Ci and Zhou Zichuan. When they got closer to Song Yingwan, they realized that the wild boar was not big. It must have been under adulthood and seemed to have been injured. No wonder they were able to hunt the wild boar.
But Chen Xiangdong and Zhang Guoan didn't care about this. They only had eyes for the pig. They hurried up to meet it and worked together to lift it into the yard.
The female educated youth didn't even bother to stay away, and the male educated youth didn't care either. They were discussing how to kill the wild boar. It was naturally impossible to hand it over to the village.
When the educated youth first went to the countryside, there were many conflicts between the educated youth and the villagers. The villagers were not willing to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables when the educated youth went to the mountains. Later, after constant adjustments, the villagers took a step back and let them go to pick mushrooms on weekdays. But Hunting must be turned over to the village.
If this wild boar is discovered by others, it will definitely not be retained, so male educated youths will wait until dark before coming back. Otherwise, there will be nothing left after such a wild boar is evenly distributed in their mouths. In this regard, educated youths are better Still quite united.
It was too late today and they had not prepared anything. They planned to hide the wild boar and disembowel it tomorrow. This wild boar would be enough to eat for several days.
Song Yingwan and Tang Xiaotang really didn't have a good impression of the pig. It was so ugly that it hurt their eyes. Seeing that nothing happened without them, they went back to wash and sleep.
It's the beginning of a new day. When Song Yingwan gets up, he already feels a little cold. Summer has passed and a new season has begun.
After the autumn harvest, Song Yingwan also returned to work. She cut the pig grass early every day, and then came back to write and study.
At noon, everyone was eating, and the team leader suddenly came over and called Zhang Guoan out. I don’t know what he said, but when Zhang Guoan came back, his face was very ugly, and he stood there without speaking for a long time.
Chen Xiangdong noticed something was wrong with him first and asked doubtfully, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong? What does the captain want from you?"
Zhang Guoan's face was grave, "The wild boar we shot yesterday was discovered, and we reported it to the brigade captain. Just now the brigade captain asked us to send the wild boar to the village at night."
Chen Xiangdong became angry when he heard this, "Why should we hand over what we beat to the village? Why don't we beat them if they want to eat them!"
No one answered this, and everyone knew that the captain had spoken, and the wild boar would definitely not be saved.
At this time, Lin Zhi's eyebrows knitted together and she said casually, "But... how did the captain know that we shot wild boars? Weren't you very careful when you came back yesterday?"
Chen Xiangdong was also reminded by these words and suddenly said: "That's right, no one saw us when we came back. It must have been someone from our educated youth spot who snitched!"
Zhang Guoan also understood and looked at the room full of people without speaking.
