After the second round, Mu Xiaocao and Mu Xiu quickly stepped forward to clean up the straw and swept the soybeans together. Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui used the windmill to pass it again.
After the windmill was cleaned, Chen Xuhui and Mushui continued to beat the side. Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao picked up dustpans and brooms, poured the soybeans into the cover curtain tied with sorghum stems, and then placed them on the rack to dry. The rack made of wooden water was high, and a vertical row could hold five cover curtains.
Three and a half acres of soybeans were used for eleven days before they were threshed out. After the soybeans were dried, they were packed in sacks and weighed, and there were a total of 1,700 kilograms.
"Grandma, second aunt, I have soybeans here too." Li Pandi saw the adults calling soybeans, and took out a small cloth bag like offering treasures.
Mu Xiaocao opened it and saw that it was full of soybeans. After weighing it, it was almost ten kilograms.
"Where did it come from?" Mu Xiu asked.
"This is what I cleaned up the straw and picked it out from it." Li Pandi raised his little face and said proudly.
Crops like soybeans and sesame seeds do remain some on the straw, but everyone is too busy and has no time to deal with the missing pods. Unexpectedly, Li Pandi actually picked them out one by one.
"I'm a good example. I'm from my soybeans. My second aunt will fry them all into five-spice beans for you to make them your snacks." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Okay, fry it for everyone." Li Pandi clapped his hands and said.
"Peng is so sensible." Zhou Shuilian hugged Li Pan and kissed her again and again, and everyone covered their mouths and smiled.
After all the soybeans were cleaned up, one-third of the yard was empty, and then the sweet potatoes were packed.
A total of 8,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes on four acres were harvested. Mu Xiu picked out the best and largest ones for sale, and then saved them for a long time if there were any scars in medium sizes. Some of them were stored in the cellar and kept them for eating slowly, and some were kept to make dried sweet potatoes. Finally, those that were damaged during harvesting could not be stored for a long time, or were too small, cleaned up and made into sweet potato noodles together.
One acre of peanuts was planted, and this time I harvested 700 kilograms. After drying, I put them directly into sacks and put them in the cellar.
There is no more work in the farmland now. On weekdays, I just go to water and fertilize every now and then. All the land of Muxiu's family has been cleaned up, and the other families in the village have only now begun to devote themselves to the vast autumn harvest.
The Muxiu family's great harvest this time made many people in the village envious. Seeing so many harvested crops piled high, I felt comfortable when I saw them. Everyone was swaying in groups in front of Mushui's door, watching trucks of full crops pulled into Mushui's house.
Liu Yumei also got into the crowd and went to take a look. After reading it, she was so jealous that she turned her eyes and ran home.
"Oh, you don't know! Mushui's family has collected a lot of trucks of food!" Liu Yumei shouted at the other people of the Mu family who were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air after finishing their farm work.
"Sister-in-law, you are a little bit weaker. Our Hongxia is doing her homework." Wang Guiying said to Liu Yumei indifferently.
"Hey, haven't you heard what I said? Mushui's yard is full!" Liu Yumei saw Wang Guiying interrupting her, and she emphasized again.
"Sister-in-law, why are you doing? The fields they grow are either sweet potatoes or potatoes or corn on the cobs. What's there to envy?" Wang Guiying said disapprovingly.
"What's wrong with sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn on the cob? That's what you eat too! Some people are better than eating nothing!" Liu Yumei said dissatisfied.
"Sister-in-law, you just see Mushui's family collecting so many things, but is it not difficult to cultivate these land? The land has been blooming with great difficulty, and it cannot be planted with wheat and rice, and it is difficult to pick up. The rent is expensive. You haven't seen it. You have not seen it. There are more than a dozen strong laborers... I heard that I have paid my wages, but I don't know if the valuable things I collected are enough to pay the rent wages!" Wang Guiying looked at Liu Yumei, just like looking at an idiot.
"Yes, eldest daughter-in-law, you have lived a long life, so it's better for the third family to see clearly. Your eyelids are so shallow. It's so rare to see something about feeding pigs. How much can their family's serious food be collected?" Liu Yaomei also looked at Liu Yumei with disdain.
"I..." Liu Yumei was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, the Mu family also achieved a bumper harvest in the spring. After the family's grain was handed over to public grain, Liu Yaomei's small warehouse could not be piled up, and finally put the extra grain in the house where Mushui lived.
Seeing that the rice harvest was about to be harvested, Liu Yaomei naturally expanded. She is not looking down on those sweet potatoes now...
"Grandma, where did they get so much money? I saw Mu Xiu ride a bicycle a few days ago!" Mu Yonghui suddenly said.
"Yes! Mom, you said they are like us, not all of them are digging food in the ground. Mushui has been living in the hospital for so long, and such a grand new house has been built here, and they have bought cows, bicycles, and asked someone to harvest them. How much does it cost! Where did they come from?" Liu Yumei asked in confusion at this time.
"Didn't it mean that Mu Xiu made pickles and sold them to the city? No! Just sell pickles, can they sell them so much? Mom, where did they get the money?" Wang Guiying made up the calculations in her heart and immediately jumped up in shock.
"Grandma, go and ask your second uncle. If you make pickles so much money, teach us too!" Mu Aijun was also jealous of the bicycle, and he began to instigate Liu Yaomei.
When Liu Yaomei heard Mu Aijun say this, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she slapped her thighs and said to everyone: "Yes! This fat water will not flow to outsiders' fields. If you have money, let's make money together."
Wang Guiying said hesitantly: "Mom, he drove Mushui out last time, so he may not tell us."
"Bullshit, that's my son. How can the mother and son have an overnight revenge? Mugen Musheng, do you think so?" Although Liu Yaomei said that, she felt a little lacking in confidence. She asked Mugen and Musheng as if she was seeking affirmation.
"Yes, mom." Mu Sheng nodded quickly.
Mu Gen hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"That's it. After we harvest the rice in the past two days, I'll take the time to ask." In Liu Yaomei's eyes, the autumn harvest that was about to begin was even more important.
"Okay, grandma, when you find out, I will buy a bicycle to carry you around, which is so grand!" Mu Yonghui rubbed his hands and said with joy.
"I want a bicycle, too." Mu Aijun quickly followed.
"Work hard, you will have it in the future!" Liu Yaomei smiled like a chrysanthemum.
