When she arrived, Aunt Dahua and the others had already gone back to have lunch and continue working.
Seeing her coming, Aunt Dahua said with a smile: "Xiao Nuo is here, put your things down and sit over here. We have reserved your seat in the morning."
"Hey, here it comes." Fang Nuo put the things where they put them, not far from the corn pile.
He walked over and sat down and said, "Auntie, you are here so early."
"It's not too early. We had lunch and it's okay to stay at home anyway. I just thought I'd come over and peel more corn peels so that I could get more work points," said Aunt Dahua.
She put a peeling bamboo skewer on her thumb, picked up the corn and quickly picked it up.
Thinking that I came later than others, it would be difficult to work eight minutes a day if I didn't work faster.
"That's it. Then let's cook for a while longer at night and then go back when it gets dark," Fang Nuo replied while working.
"Okay, it won't be too hot then, so I'll chop more. After finishing this, I still have to cut the rice. That's how the autumn harvest is. You have to harvest everything quickly, otherwise you're afraid of sudden rains," said Aunt Dahua.
Several aunts nearby also joined in the chat between the two, chatting and working at the same time, and the speed did not slow down at all.
After peeling cornstarch for a whole day, Fang Nuo got ten work points. After he marked it down, he got up, carried his things, and went home in the dark.
When she got home, she was so itchy that she didn't even go to the kitchen. She went back to the house and locked the door, then took Yaya into the space.
Little Yaya had already fallen asleep on her back because she came back late. Fang Nuo put her on the bed to sleep, while she took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a good bath.
When I came out, my hair was still wet, so I went to get a hair dryer to dry it before I went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
In the evening, she cooked a bowl of dumplings to eat. Yaya was a smaller wonton. She divided it into smaller pieces with a spoon and fed it to her.
After the two mother and daughter had finished their dinner, it was time for them to eat in space. She turned around and released water for Yaya to swim and take a bath.
After tidying up for her, more than an hour passed. She was tired from the day, so she emptied out all the water basins in the house, went back to the house and hugged Yaya and fell asleep.
The corn is grilled for three days, and then the corn is dried and threshed.
It is first put into sacks, beaten with sticks, and then poured out. Those that are not beaten have to be threshed manually.
It's the men's job to beat, and it's the women's job to clean up the behind.
After two days of threshing corn, her hands almost blistered.
Finally, after all the corn was threshed, the team leader gave them a day off and left a few people in the drying field to watch the corn being dried. The others continued to harvest rice in the autumn after a day's rest.
On a day off, many people in the village went to the town. It had been almost a month, and Fang Nuo also took Yaya to the town.
When she arrived in town, she separated from the other aunts. While Yaya was asleep, she found a place to enter the space to change clothes, and went to the black market to deliver a batch of goods.
After clearing out the space vegetable inventory and adding some coarse grains, I also earned more than 500 yuan.
After coming out of the black market, she went to the post office to see if there was a letter from her. Unexpectedly, there was actually one.
When she saw it said it was from Red Star Farm, she felt very happy, but there was no expression on her face.
Put the letter away, leave the post office, find a place to change into your own clothes, free up space on your back, and go to the supply and marketing cooperative for a walk.
Before going back, she found a place and took out the sacks and backpacks she had prepared long ago. They were filled with things, and she carried them to Zhenzhikou and took an ox cart back to the village.
On the way back in the car, she met many aunts from the village. Everyone asked her how she brought so many things back, so she pulled her family members from the city out to talk.
It's just a sentence of explanation. If everyone says anything later, she can answer one or two sentences if she wants to. If she doesn't like to hear it, just listen to it.
So far, she has not met someone who is particularly good and wants to get to the bottom of things. Otherwise, she might be tempted to give him a slap in the face.
After staggering for an hour, Yaya woke up and put her on the bed to play with herself while she packed up her things.
After cleaning up, she carried Yaya to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the two of them.
She didn't go out in the afternoon. She picked all the peppers in the backyard at home, and then plowed the ground to plant some vegetables that could survive the winter. She planned to build a small insulation shed behind so that she could have fresh vegetables to eat.
None of the hot peppers from the garden turned red, so she boiled them, dried them in the sun and made them into autumn peppers, then deep-fried them and added some salt and soy sauce to make them a meal.
There are also eggplants in the backyard, which are all picked. Some are pickled in a vat, and the tender ones are evaporated, torn apart and dried in the sun.
She picked all the red tomatoes in the backyard, canned them in the countryside and made tomato sauce, and spent the whole afternoon busy.
I got up early the next day, had breakfast, packed my lunch and went out to work.
This time she was no longer assigned a field by herself, but was assigned to a rice-cutting group. She cut the rice together, and someone was behind her holding a bucket while beating the rice.
The straw was tied last, so she worked at the same time as everyone else, leaving early and coming back late.
Fortunately, the sun was not very bright these two days, and it came and went.
After working like this for five days, all the rice was harvested, and everyone was still not relaxed. It was time to start drying the wheat. There were more people watching than drying the corn. The main reason was that they were afraid of sparrows coming to eat the rice, so they had to keep watch at all times.
Everyone took turns to do this work, and some people went to chop corn stalks. Because Fang Nuo had to take care of the baby, he was not assigned to chop corn stalks. Instead, he took turns guarding the rice drying field.
The work points are very few, but after doing high-paying work for so long, she is happy to have some leisure time.
After the rice is dried, all the grain is bagged and stored in the warehouse. After the brigade leader arranges for people to deliver the public grain to the commune, their village begins to distribute the grain.
But there was no holiday, so Fang Nuo continued to go back to mowing the grass, earning eight work points a day, which was enough for her and Yaya to eat.
The other people in the village are going to plow the land after the autumn harvest, clean it of plant residues, and then plant wheat, a small amount of cabbage, and radishes.
Back when she was mowing the lawn, Fang Nuo was not used to it every morning. She always woke up early and couldn't sleep. She had no choice but to get up and find something to do. After Yaya woke up and had something to eat, the mother and daughter went out to do it. live.
Fang Nuo had just returned from mowing the grass that day and was preparing lunch at home when he heard Aunt Dahua's voice calling from the door: "Is Xiao Nuo at home?"
"Auntie, please come in first. I'm in the kitchen." Fang Nuo said, picking up Yaya on the side and putting the crib into the space.
"Then let's have lunch now," Aunt Dahua said when she came in and saw her cooking lunch.
"I just came back from mowing the grass, so I started cooking lunch. Sister-in-law, what do you want to do here?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Yes, our village will be distributing grain in the warehouse tomorrow morning. I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll come over and tell you. You can go there earlier so that you can get better grain," Aunt Dahua said
