Before and after the cold dew, it is the time to harvest corn in high latitude areas like Yuanmeng County.

Compared with hilly areas at low latitudes, the corn harvest in Yuanmeng County is relatively late.

The Sichen family's corn is planted as stubble after the wheat harvest, so the harvest time is even later.

The second day of the cold dew happened to be Sunday.

Several aunts and uncles came to help——

The second aunt, the fourth aunt, and the sixth aunt all came together as a couple.

Although the fifth uncle's studies in Kyoto ended, he went directly to Longcheng Cancer Hospital to take care of his old mother with his wife, Si Qiuju.

Their son, Mao Yuanchao, lived and ate at his grandma's house during this period, and pestered Si Chen every day to learn the Meditation Classics.

Taking this opportunity, Si Chen and Mao Yuanchao built the corn barn in the yard.

Although the fifteen-year-old boy is very good at eating, he is also very strong. He is really a strong worker!

The seventh aunt is pregnant, and the seventh uncle goes to war on behalf of their family to harvest corn for his mother-in-law.

Including Si Chen, Mrs. Si, Yan Lixia, Si Letian, and Song Yunhu, the boy from the sixth aunt's family, the whole family of 13 people headed for the cornfield.

Wan Hong is responsible for cooking at home. It is not easy to provide food for a family of 15 people.

Sili Ge's pregnancy has just stabilized and she stopped vomiting. She is finally feeling better and is now helping to take care of Xiao Ping An and Xiao Yuanyuan at home.

Mrs. Si paid rare attention to Xiao Qi before going out and warned:

"Let them lie down on the kang and play. You don't want to pick them up, do you hear me?"

Sili Ge was simply flattered!

Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she nuzzled up to her like a baby, holding her old mother's arm and shaking it:

"Mom, are you worried about my belly? You don't want me to hold the baby because you don't want me to use my strength?"

Mrs. Si rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile: "I'm afraid that if you don't have enough time to hold the baby, it will make my family unhappy!"

Sili Ge chuckled, feeling very satisfied.

Mrs. Si took a large group of daughters, sons-in-law, grandsons, daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, and grandsons, and headed for the cornfield.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Along the way, I gained something that the villagers admired:

"Auntie Si, have your daughter and sons-in-law come back to help with the autumn harvest?"

"Yes, everyone is very busy. Even if they say they won't be allowed to come back, they run back one by one. They just don't listen."

Mrs. Si smiled so much that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes became much deeper. It could be said that she was truly beaming with joy.

"Auntie, why don't you see Qiu Ju and his wife?"

Mao Yuanchao was young after all, and just when he was about to explain, Mrs. Si took the lead and said:

"I went to Kyoto to study! We only have six acres of corn cobs at home, how can we use so many people?"

The person who asked the question once again expressed his envy: "It's good to have more people. If you have more people, you can take it back in one day!"

In fact, strong laborers with quick hands and feet, like Si Chen, can break an acre of land in half a morning.

If the speed is slower, like Mrs. Si is old, it will take about a day.

In this group of 13 people, except for Mrs. Si, everyone's fighting ability is quite good.

The stalks of ripe corn cobs are withered and yellow, so you only need to break off the corn.

Si Chen, Mao Yuanchao, Song Yunhu, and Song Tianfu followed behind, each holding a sickle, cutting off the corn stalks at the root and stacking them neatly.

The straw can be taken home to make firewood in winter, and can also be chopped into pieces for cattle to eat.

Or, the livestock and poultry at home can be used to make nests to keep warm in winter.

Some people will cover some coriander, celery, and leeks planted in the yard in winter.

Of course, these overwintering side dishes also need to be built with a small plastic shed to keep them warm.

As for whether you can survive, it all depends on God's face.

A group of people, lively, chatting and working enthusiastically!

It was getting dark, and all the corn on the six acres of land had been harvested.

Even the cut corn stalks were pulled back and stacked neatly under the wall of the back garden.

The tractor was transporting corn cobs home again and again, and there were a lot of husks in the yard.

Every little boy has a dream of farm machinery. Song Yunhu and Mao Yuanchao both compete to drive the tractor.

The two brothers almost had a fight!

Finally, Si Chen came forward to rule: "One person at a time, take turns, you heard?"

There are just too many people!

For dinner, Wan Hong made a stew.

Cut the white radish into strips, slice the carrot, cut the tofu into cubes, shred the cabbage, slice the pork, and add a handful of sweet potato starch.

Emma, ​​it smells so good!

In order to accommodate everyone's different tastes, Wanhong also specially made spicy spicy food.

A bowl of fragrant and oily spicy food will make you want to eat it!

If anyone wants to eat something spicy, just add the chili pepper to the bowl.

For example, Si Chen is a hot-tempered person.

This big family sat on a bed full of people just to eat!

There are still those who can't fit in. Si Chen, Song Yunhu, Mao Yuanchao, and Si Letian are the brothers and sisters who have standing votes.

It gets dark very early after the cold dew.

After dinner, it was only half past seven.

A group of people hurriedly went to the yard to pick corn.

"Li Ge, you stay in the room watching the dolls, don't come out!" Song Tianfu was worried to death!

She was afraid that Silige would catch a cold, so she kept telling her not to go out because it was too cold outside.

It is indeed cold!

The temperature is generally low these days. During the cold dew season in Yuanmeng County, the temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius at night. I wish I could wear cotton-padded clothes!

The next solar term is Frost Descent, and the temperature can reach zero degrees, because after Frost Descent it is the beginning of winter.

It is a high loess slope with an altitude ranging from one thousand to two thousand. There is nothing we can do about it. The temperature difference between day and night is really too big!

A large family was cooking corn by lighting a lamp, and the small courtyard was filled with the sound of crunching.

Si Chen took his two younger brothers to do the heaviest hard work——

The corn that each person picked up would be thrown into a big wattle basket. The three of them had to lift the basket to the corn barn and pour it in.

Then, increase the height of the corn bin layer by layer.

Before 12 o'clock, a large group of people finally worked overtime to finish the corn cobs!

The high-pitched corn barn showed the fruits of their day's work.

However, even Mao Yuanchao, who was the most eloquent, was wilted and did not say a word.

Damn it, I’m really tired from rushing to work!

During this season, not only their family, but other families who planted their crops late were also rushing to harvest corn, and the lights were brightly lit.
Chapter completed!
