Chapter 18 The space of the pagoda has expanded
After Ye Junluan finished his assurance, he took a closer look and saw a special wooden granary with a lid on it to protect the food inside and prevent rats from eating it!
This is a basement, rats can smell it, and there is more than one granary.
The floor is very clean and solid, it looks like floor tiles!
Moisture-proof and insect-proof are very good, and the walls are even painted gray!
Ye Xinfa opened the wooden lid of a granary and said:
“This is rice. I saved it last year and bought some for myself. There are about 1,000 kilograms here. Although 1,000 kilograms is a lot, a family can only eat one. In the new year, there are also mixed grains and wild vegetables.”< br>
Ye Junluan nodded. Indeed, based on the nine people in their family, 100 kilograms of rice a month would only be 60 kilograms after the shells are removed. 60 kilograms is barely enough to eat, but there are 12 months in a year, and sometimes There will be relatives coming, such as their uncle’s family!
The only strong working people in their family are their parents. The sisters, being girls, eat less, and he is so young that he doesn’t eat much.
If there are multiple sons in a family, the half-grown boy will eat more!
"Our family has been saving grain for many years. When your uncle went to the provincial capital, they couldn't buy much grain even if they had tickets, and they couldn't buy much grain even if they had money. Sometimes they send money back to me to help buy grain and send it there!"
Ye Xinfa said and opened another granary, this one also contained the same rice.
Then I opened them one by one, some with sweet potatoes, some with peanuts, and some with beans.
Why not put it in sacks or other boxes?
Farmers also have their own wisdom. They want to prevent moisture, rats and insects, so they built this specially designed granary.
Maybe they put pesticides to prevent insects and rats!
Ye Junluan put several thousand kilograms of rice granaries into the pagoda space one by one!
I heard that sweet potatoes weigh 1,000 kilograms. They are made into sweet potato bricks, that is, they are processed and can be stored for a long time. They can be eaten after being cooked until soft!
Peanuts can actually be squeezed for oil. Parents have to consider not taking out all of them to squeeze the oil!
Since I want to stock up on things, I have everything, including other beans. As for peanut oil, there are several large jars, which are packed in earthen jars with the mouths covered!
There are also several jars of wine, a very large wine jar. I heard that it has been kept here for many years. These wine jars were here when his father was a child!
Wine that is more than a few decades old? This is good stuff. Don’t drink it yourself. The longer it stays, the more expensive it will be!
Ye Xinfa touched everything. There are many beautiful memories here.
Ye Junluan also touched everything and walked into the pagoda space to complete the warehouse.
Ye Xinfa opened another secret passage for him and told him about the situation at home!
This secret passage can lead outside the village and also to mountains far away!
This is when the Japs entered the village many years ago. When they took action in the village, there might be one in every house, but I don’t know if there are any newly built houses!
Not every house’s secret passages are connected. If they are really connected, wouldn’t someone else have stolen the house?
Ye Junluan...the wisdom of the ancients, many people in the village are so rich!
We usually say we don’t have enough to eat, don’t have warm clothes, or don’t have money. Isn’t it just an act?
After Ye Xinfa came up again with his son, he went to the village committee and told the secretary and the team leaders that he had something to go out in the afternoon!
The secretary and the captains cannot ask the captain about everything. The secretary is responsible for managing some of the party membership issues above!
Sometimes when he goes to a meeting, the captain doesn't even have to go.
The current team leader is equivalent to the village chief, in charge of production, and has great power, even more powerful than the secretary!
There are also some meetings in the county and town. Regarding production and the like, they will go to the team leader but not the secretary!
How about other places? These two positions are arranged like this!
Ye Xinfa went to the village to borrow a carriage. This time he did not want Jian Wu to follow him.
Jian Wu is very strange and keeps asking questions!
Ye Xinfa had no choice but to find an excuse. Other excuses might make people guess, so he found an unlucky excuse.
"Take my son for a review! You have nothing to do to prepare more fodder for the horses. Don't look at the rice seedlings now. These also need to be dried and stored, as well as the grass that the cows eat. You and those Feeding companions should prepare more fodder first! ”
Ye Xinfa thought of the locusts his son mentioned again. Now these peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings, and rice seedlings are all prepared. If they are placed in the fields, they can be distributed to the villagers for burning fires. This would be too wasteful! A month later, the locusts really came, and the horses and cattle had no fodder!
As the captain, he has this prophet. No matter whether it is wrong or right, he will make arrangements!
Jian Wu..., there is so much fresh fodder now, why do we have to dry it all for the cattle and horses to eat?
How dare you talk back to what the captain ordered you to do? You don’t want to do it, and you don’t dare to say anything!
Ye Xinfa drove the carriage to the door. When he entered the house, he wanted to take Ye Junluan, who had just fallen asleep, out!
"Where is the child's father?"
Yao Hanxin has to go to work today and takes her older daughters with her to pick beans. The children have three work points, just like him as an adult That’s six work points!
With them were educated youths and other women and children in the village. Each team harvested separately. They belonged to the middle of the village and were not far from the place where they harvested beans.
During the busy farming season, all primary school students in the village are on holiday, and even the teachers are helping to earn work points. Their family cannot be too special!
"Mom, my child and I have something to do when we go out. Let a few young ones watch the door. You and your workers don't have to worry about us!"
Ye Xinfa conveyed the message to his wife in his eyes, and the couple looked at each other silently. .
Yao Hanxin understood and didn’t stop him!
“Dad, I’m going too!”
The three younger girls ran out to follow, and the older ones also wanted to follow. They hadn’t been outside for a long time!
"Good boy, I'm taking your brother outside for business. I'll bring you sweets when I get back!"
Ye Xinfa could only output in pain!
“Yeah, daddy, bring back some candy!”
The girl who heard that there was candy available wanted to go too, but under her father’s majesty, she was tempted by candy again!
The eldest sister grabbed the younger sisters. The second and third sisters pouted unwillingly and murmured,
"Dad is biased. He takes his brother out during the busy farming season. This is to buy him delicious food!"
"It looks like he is taking his brother to eat delicious food!"
Yao Hanxin Station On the side, it seemed that he didn’t listen to his daughters’ words and watched the carriage go away!
At this time, some people had already started to work. When they saw the carriage going out of the village, the captain was driving the carriage. Many people in the village said hello and looked at them curiously.
They also discussed in a low voice: "Captain, where are you going? Isn't Jian Wu driving the carriage? The carriage was driven by the captain, so who is in the carriage? Who has this honor? The captain did it Coachman!”
Ye Xinfa rushed the carriage to the entrance of the village. Someone was walking to stop the carriage. They were two educated youth women of eighteen or nineteen years old.
I just went to the countryside for a few months.
"Why are you blocking the carriage if you don't go to work?"
Ye Xinfa remembered these two educated youths. They were women from the city, probably from the northern city. Here, I am not accustomed to the acclimatization and climate of the south, and I feel unaccustomed to the sun and heat of farm work.
They often ask for leave, and they are not afraid of not having enough food to eat. I heard that their families send packages and money!
Don't say they are unkind, as long as people are diligent and hungry, it will be hard to say in the future!
But the other party has something to send from home, so they don’t need to worry about it!
