Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

The sweet potato slices are dried during the day and harvested in the evening.

If dew falls on sweet potato slices at night, they will easily become moldy, so they should not be exposed to rain.

A group of children after school or not going to school were carrying bamboo baskets or wicker baskets. They picked up the sweet potato chips on the ground with their big and small hands. They filled the baskets and poured them into the big bamboo basket, and then went back to pick up the sweet potato chips.

Jiang He and Zhang Erya were followed by a group of orphans, and Feng Qingxue recorded work points for them based on Wang Zhengguo's opinion.

The next morning, when the sun comes out, the collected sweet potato slices are scattered on the ground to continue drying, and then collected again in the evening.

Repeat every day until the sweet potato slices are dry.

While the dried spring sweet potato slices are being put into the warehouse, summer sweet potatoes and corn are harvested.

The people responsible for digging summer sweet potatoes are all old farmers. They have rich experience and the sweet potatoes they dig out will suffer less damage. Through their careful selection, they will remove injured, diseased, damaged and water-stained sweet potatoes, leaving them intact. Moreover, the plump and large pieces of sweet potatoes are transported into the cellar according to the previous storage method. During the process, they are all handled and transported with care, striving to leave the best seeds for next year.

If you plant well, the seedlings will be good, the seedlings will be strong, and the harvest will naturally increase.

For corn, male laborers cut down the corn stalks one by one and placed them neatly on the ground, row by row. In each row, there were women and children squatting with awls to peel off the bracts on the cobs and peel them off. Peel off the corn cobs and throw them into the open space.

Piles of corn cobs, golden, plump and beautiful.

The joy of harvest fills everyone’s face.

The land of Wanglou Brigade is fertile, the corn cobs grow long and large, and the yield is unquestionable.

Some corn grows in the shade of trees and does not receive enough sunlight. The stalks are thin and small, and the cobs that grow are also small, and the bracts are green. The corn kernels inside the cob are very tender and soft, and juice splashes when you poke them.

At this time, someone has to supervise, so that everyone will not eat the raw corn directly when they are very hungry.

Wang Zhengguo was better at being a good person, and said loudly: "Pick out the tender corns separately and put them in a pile. When you get off work, each person can take two back and cook them! They are not counted in the work points. So, don't eat them in the fields, I will catch you." , everyone’s faces don’t look good!”

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered loudly and worked harder.

Feng Qingxue hasn't had any symptoms for more than two months. Although she doesn't have time to go to the doctor to check her pulse, she can definitely confirm the fact that she is pregnant. In addition to recording work points, she also has to work, but she is very careful not to bend down and press her lower abdomen. work.

You can't say that you don't work, because many women with big bellies are sweating profusely in the fields.

Some are even eight or nine months pregnant and are still busy.

Under such circumstances, how could Feng Qingxue use pregnancy as an excuse to not go to work?

After cutting down the corn stalks, the male laborers carried the bamboo baskets or dung pans filled with corn cobs onto the mule carts and transported them to the field to spread them out to dry. At this time, the summer sweet potatoes that could not be used as seeds were cut into slices and scattered on the Drying on the ground does not take up space.

The corn stalks are transported to the field and stacked. After the wheat is planted, they are transported to the cowshed and piled into piles.

Corn stalks, like sweet potato vines, are feed grains for livestock.

At noon, in order not to delay their work, everyone ate the dry food they brought under the shade of the trees on the ground. Some people brought cold boiled water that they boiled themselves, and some drank the raw water flowing in the river directly.
