Chapter 436 Autumnal Equinox

This time, Han Li only said that he had something else to do and rejected the couple's proposal to take him to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

As time passed, Han Li's autumn protection team still had no harvest. Many educated youth had already accepted their fate. They only hoped to hurry up to harvest in autumn so that they would not have to run to the fields every day.

Time will satisfy these people's fantasies, but I hope they can hold on when the harvest comes.

Now it is getting closer and closer to the autumnal equinox in the twenty-four solar terms. The autumnal equinox is a dividing line for the beginning of the autumn harvest. Even if there is weather influence such as rainfall, the difference between the two will definitely not exceed ten days.

The recent weather is described as clear and refreshing in autumn and light in the sky, which is very close to reality. In the azure blue sky, there are white clouds floating, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The breeze makes people feel much better.

The leaves of soybeans in the field have turned slightly yellow, the corns are holding huge cobs, the seeds on the sorghum heads are beginning to turn black and red, and even the leaves of hazel trees on the mountain are beginning to turn red. With the small river beside the village and the stream in the mountains, Shanghe Village has become a colorful world like a fairyland against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds.

At this time, many villagers have begun to dry "dried vegetables" in their own yards, but at this time, only vegetables such as beans, eggplants, cucumbers, etc. can be dried. Vegetables like cabbage and radish have to wait until the season.

Cut the eggplant into large thin slices, blanch it in a hot water pot until soft, then take it out and cool it down immediately. After it cools down, squeeze out the water and spread it flat to dry. However, this process requires frequent turning to dry faster.

Try to choose green and tender cucumbers for drying cucumbers. Cut them into strips and use salt to marinate the cucumbers to remove moisture, drain the water, and then dry them.

The simplest is dried beans, which only need to be cut into shreds and dried thoroughly.

In addition, peppers are indispensable. Since the peppers in the vegetable garden mature at different times.

When the villagers see ripe peppers, they will pick them first, select the big, plump and ripe peppers from them and dry them separately, and finally take their seeds as seeds for next year. If there are enough seeds, the other peppers will be seasonings for adding spiritual power.

Moreover, at this time, all kinds of wild fruits and mushrooms in the forests in the mountains are in the harvest season. After work every day, the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village will rush to the mountains to store more food for their families for the winter. If they are rich, it is also convenient to send them to the agency to exchange money.

Women have a natural advantage in gathering, and men are really not as good as women in this regard.

So the work of drying vegetables, cutting pig grass, and cooking dinner at home is left to the men, the elderly and children in the family.

Moreover, the villagers all knew that Han Li and the two Yun educated youths would be able to go home to visit their relatives this year. They had to collect as many mountain products as possible before the three of them left. Otherwise, after they left to visit their relatives, they would not only have to go to the commune and the county to exchange for money, but also had to pick and weigh the goods there. The key point was that the price was the same as the one they bought from the Yun educated youths. In this way, they would lose a lot.

Of course, many educated youths would not lag behind in this extra harvest, especially Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying, who were the most active, because they wanted to bring more mountain products when they went home this year.

However, the educated youths had their own small groups, and they went into the mountains in groups of three or two.

For this reason, Han Li's dog now went to work in advance, and had to follow them to the mountains after work.

Hou Yuhua, the pocket girl, was unwilling to miss this opportunity. When she and Zhang Shulan took over the house of the Yun sisters, in addition to living comfortably, the most important thing was to see Qi Zhaodi storing so many mountain products.

Hou Yuhua went into the mountains with her roommates Zhang Shulan, Qi Zhaodi, He Mi and others at first, but because of her height and long legs, she not only got the least, but also often couldn't keep up with the team.

It was very dangerous for Hou Yuhua to fall behind in the mountains, because there were many weeds taller than her. Once she fell behind, she could only shout to meet up with everyone, or if she was found by everyone.

Although Hou Yuhua tried her best to step backwards, she couldn't avoid falling behind during this period. It was okay once or twice, but after so many times, she felt a little embarrassed to go into the mountains with everyone.

On this day, Han Li had just turned over the vegetables, herbs, and mountain products that were drying in the yard, and was processing the medicinal materials in the clinic, when Hou Yuhua walked in a bit depressed.

"Brother Han."

"Yuhua is here, why didn't you go up the mountain with everyone today?"

"Brother Han, I, I often can't keep up with everyone when picking mountain products, and I didn't go because I didn't want to slow everyone down."

After listening to her, Han Li knew the reason for her frustration, and smiled at the little girl in front of him.

"If we can't keep up, we won't go. If we can't pick mountain products, we won't pick them. If you can't stay idle, I have a job that suits you very well. I just don't know if you are willing to do it?"

"I am willing."

Hou Yuhua agreed without even asking anything, and Han Li smiled and told her directly.

Because other people didn't know that He Mi's family raised flying dragons, but Hou Yuhua, who often went to see Qi Zhaodi, knew, so Han Li asked her to harvest and dry some wild grass seeds from now on, and finally said that she would never work in vain.

This job is very suitable for Hou Yuhua. The grass seeds are very light, and she can easily carry a large basket on her back, and she doesn't have to walk too far.

After hearing this, the dull expression on Hou Yuhua's face immediately dissipated, and she agreed without any hesitation.

Although Han Li's words were vague, Hou Yuhua believed that the other party would never let his work go in vain.

And this is a kind of recognition for her, even if she is not paid in the end, she is still willing to harvest and dry these grass seeds.

Han Li agreed when he saw that Hou Yuhua didn't even murmur. While secretly sighing at his own charm, considering that the surroundings were all green gauze tents, no one knew whether Hou Yuhua would be able to act alone. Someone like Jin Dahe appeared, so Han Li asked his dog to follow her.

At this time, all the five dogs of Han Li's family were at work, two with the Yun sisters, one with He Mi and the others, one with Hao Hongmin and the others, and now the last one is temporarily following Hou Yuhua.

As for Hao Hongmin and her family's puppy, it is still a big dog and can't even look after the home except act cute.

Not long after Han Li sent Hou Yuhua away, the Yun sisters came back from the consignment point.

The meals now are simple. There are plenty of fresh vegetables in the yard. I picked a few cucumbers to dip into the sauce, a handful of beans and scrambled eggs. Yun Jingjing also steamed a few eggplants, and finally used a few tomatoes to make soup for dinner.

While Han Li's family was eating in the yard, there was a burst of noise and crying outside.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. We didn't hear anything from the agency today."

"The voice sounds like the aunt from the Liang Wu family, as well as Niu Dechang and Wu Lili. Have you heard of any conflicts between them?"

"You'll know if you go out and take a look."

The three people took the bowls and went out to watch the fun. When they walked out of the street, they realized that there were quite a few people who had made the same choice as them.

Everyone smiled at each other and walked towards the place where the quarrel was taking place. At this time, the aunt from Liang Wu's family was sitting at the door of Wu Lili Street cursing. Next to her were several sons and nephews of her family.

The villagers said that the Liang Wu family's characters were not very good. They were not only lazy and messy, but also particularly fond of taking advantage.

Han Li had also seen her quarreling with other villagers and educated youths many times over trivial matters, but she had never provoked Han Li and his family, and she had never quarreled as fiercely as she did today.

Sun Yong and Niu Dechang stared at the side with blood-red eyes like a bullfight. Wu Lili leaned against the door and kept crying without saying a word.

The aunt of Liang Wu's family was sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs with her hands, crying and cursing, and kept talking about the various organs of Sun Yong and their three relatives, as well as some other descriptive words.

If it were written down, it could only be like this, x-on:#￥%……&******.

However, everyone also heard the cause of this incident from the crying and cursing of Liang Wu's aunt, and why she came here to scold people.

It turned out that the aunt of Liang Wu's family went to the mountains to dig for mountain goods today, and she first came to the nest that she had treasured for several years.

But what Aunt Liang Wu didn't expect was that her nest would be harvested by Wu Lili and the other three.

Originally, the nest issue was not on the table, let alone a reason to stir up trouble.

But who is the aunt of Liang Wu’s family? Who doesn’t know about it in Shanghe Village, Zhonghe Village, and Xiaohe Village?

Although she had been repeatedly warned not to provoke Han Li by Captain Liang, as well as the educated youth who had a good relationship with him, the three people in front of her were obviously not in this sequence, so the aunt of the Liang Wu family spoke up.

"Hey, my old lady has seen a lot of things in her life, and she has seen a lot of people having sex, but she has never seen three people having sex together. I didn't believe the rumors in the village. Today, I saw that others were really not talking nonsense. Looking at the closeness between the three of you, tsk, tsk, tsk, anyway, I, an old woman, can’t stand it.”

The aunt of Liang Wu's family felt a lot better after finishing her addiction. Now that time was running out, she planned to turn around and leave.

But Wu Lili cried immediately after hearing this. This made Niu Dechang very angry. She pointed at Liang Wu's aunt and cursed.

"You damn old woman, please clean your mouth. We are all pure comrades. How come it changes in your mouth? If you continue to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will beat you up."

When Aunt Liang Wu's family heard this, she immediately stopped leaving. She looked at the three people opposite and said disdainfully.

"Haha, how dare you do it and not take it seriously? You still beat me? Can you try to touch me with a finger?"

Niu Dechang lived up to his surname Niu. He walked up to Aunt Liang Wu's family in a few steps with his eyes wide open, and pushed her backwards. Sun Yong took his hand and it was still hanging in the air.

This somersault immediately frightened the aunt of Liang Wu's family. She got up from the ground and turned around to leave without even daring to say a word.

Niu Dechang's face was red and full of energy. He turned around and waited for Wu Lili's praise, but what he waited for was Sun Yong's disgusted eyes and warning, and Wu Lili's worried eyes.

Niu Dechang thought that what Sun Yong said was because he was jealous of what he just said, and didn't take it to heart at all.

Compared with Wu Lili's worried eyes, which made him feel more excited, Niu Dechang thought that she was worried about him.
