Chapter 71: The Grain and Grass Are Harvested

When I brought the car home, I felt that the wheels were a little stuck, probably a little rusty. I went to the street to buy two packets of "Huaer (Ren) Biscuits" and then found some used engine oil. I brought "Huaer Biscuits" to me.

They eat it in the fields to avoid being hungry and weak after working for a while. Use a scrap brush to dip in the waste engine oil to lubricate the ball on the pulley.

When the younger brothers came back from school, they put away their schoolbags and started shouting to collect grain and straw.

We took the rope, the frame on our backs, water, and "flower cakes" and set off towards the fields.

We put the car on the side of the road and went to collect grass in the dry field. When we got to the field, we found a suitable position on the field ridge, which was not only convenient for tying the corn grass on the back frame, but also convenient for climbing up with the back frame after a while.

.

Brother Jun couldn't wait to pick up the corn and grass. Every time he mentioned the corn and grass, he carefully lifted the corn and grass to see if there were any corncrakes. If not, he quickly picked up the corn and grass and placed it next to the back shelf. I

He Xiaojie didn't care whether it was there or not. He quickly picked it up as much as his hands could lift and put it next to the back stand. After a while, he picked up the stand and tied it to his back. Jun Geer carried it a dozen times in a row.

No frogs were found, so my interest dropped a bit, and the speed of picking up grain and grass also slowed down.

Xiaojie and I smiled at him and said, don't panic, we will always find out if you do. You eat the "flower cake" first, and we will carry the grain and grass to the road and load it into the car.

I went back and forth like this several times, and finally the truck was full. I said to Xiaojie: "I'll tow this truck back first, and you can carry the grain and grass in the fields to the road and pile them up. I'll load the truck directly when I come back, and this keeps going.

It hasn’t stopped yet, so it needs to be closed faster.”

Xiaojie said: "Okay. Why don't you have a piece of cake?"

I said: "You guys eat first, leave some for me and I'll come back later to eat."

Corn grass is very light, and a large cart does not weigh as much. It is very fluffy, and if the rope is not tightened tightly, it will easily collapse when it shakes on the road.

I brought them home, opened the door, and immediately put down the rope holding the straw, and the straw fell down. I quickly picked it up randomly and piled it randomly in the yard. After picking up, I locked the door and returned to the field.

I met Qing'er on the road. I asked her: "Where are you going?"

She said: "I'm going to buy a catty of vinegar."

I said, "What are you buying for?"

She said: "My mother stirred the jelly, and I went to get jealous and eat the jelly. What are you doing with the cart?"

I said, "Go and collect corn and grass. I've collected a cart full of it and brought it back."

She said, "Well, I'll go back and eat some jelly and then call my sister and they will collect it for you."

I said, "It's okay, let's take it easy." After that, I left.

When I came to the highway, I saw that Xiaojie and the others had already carried a lot of grain and straw piled up there. I went to pick up grain and straw to tie them up.

While I was picking it up, Xiaojie came back with a load of grain and grass on his back. When he got to the car, he handed me half a packet of "flower cakes". I took them and ate them while I rested. After eating three, they were really dry and I didn't want to eat anymore.

He got up and continued to tie the corn grass. At this moment, he saw Qing'er and Feifei running over.

Qing'er ran over and said, "Look what I brought to you?"

When I saw it, she was carrying some jelly cubes about one centimeter thick in a plastic bag, cut into palm-shaped chunks. She handed it over, and Xiaojie and I each took a piece and ate it. It tasted good.

You have to have chili powder, pepper powder, salt and MSG, vinegar and chopped green onion.

Feifei said: "Brother, Qing'er got jealous and said he saw you pulling the cart to the fields to collect grass, so we started making jelly balls."

I said: "Thank you, the jelly is so delicious."

Feifei said: "Of course, my mother made it specially. She even left a big piece for you. She said she brought it to you after lunch."

Seeing Feifei and Qing'er coming, I said to Xiaojie: "Wait for Feifei, Qing'er and Jun Ge'er to carry grain and hay here. You come and pull the cart. I will carry a frame and push it for you from behind. This way

Pull more."

Xiaojie said: "Okay, big brother."

Qing'er said, "No, I'll do it."

I said, "Be good. You're still young and can't drag me away. Feifei, you go and carry grain and hay with Brother Jun. Maybe you'll even catch a frog."

Qing'er pouted and said, "Okay, okay."

After running several times, I finally collected all the grain and grass in the dry field.

When I got home, I started to stack the straw. First, place the heads of the straw on the ground in a circle of about three meters in diameter. The straw head is facing inside the circle, and the straw stalks are facing outside the circle. The straw heads are tight, and the straw stalks are scattered and overlap each other.

The piles were tightly stacked from the outside in. Since there was still corn and grass from the paddy fields that had not been collected, I was not in a hurry to "tighten it up". I was also afraid that the rain would gather in the middle of the haystacks and make the haystacks wet and moldy, so I found Zhang Da.

The oilcloth is stretched over it first.

The sun has been shining brightly for two days in a row, and the weather has been sunny over the weekend. I took the time to gather the grain and grass from the paddy fields.
