Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 161 Threshing Corn

Gu Jianping shook his head, sighed again, and said in a weak tone, "It doesn't matter, he is over 40 years old, and I don't need to teach him how to be a man. If he is really like that, I can't control him."

From Gu Kuangyun's perspective, he could clearly see the loneliness and heaviness on her father's face.

Yes!

After all, he is also the younger brother who he once loved, and now he has become such a person.

Thinking about it, no matter which responsible man would feel bad.

She could feel the depression and sorrow in her father's heart.

But she is also fortunate to be able to live in such a happy family.

Even though they did not provide her with a rich material life, what they gave her was spiritual abundance, which made her grow into what she expected.

She feels that this is a more precious wealth.

She left quietly without disturbing her parents who were still talking.

As soon as December passed and January entered, the Gu family's project came to an end.

At this time, the Gu family's house has been repaired and decorated, and the homestay is also in the final stage of decoration.

Most of the workers have left, only the decorators are still polishing the remaining details.

On this day, Gu Kuangyun was threshing corn with her mother.

Her family doesn't have much corn, so she planted an acre of land full of dozen or so. When they were young, they were picked, boiled and eaten, and the rest were left in the field to be dried.

If you want to fatten up your livestock, you will inevitably have to feed them some grain.

Dry the picked corn and wait for most of the water vapor to evaporate before preparing for threshing.

In Changshui Village, corn is also manually threshed.

This year's corn production is not much, so I didn't spend much time on maintenance.

At that time, when the Gu family came back, the corn field was full of weeds, and there were many things to do later. At that time, the corn was mostly formed, and no amount of weeding would increase the yield. Gu Jianping didn't take care of the field. .

There were two baskets of corn recovered, which were piled to the brim.

Now there are a lot of livestock such as pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks in the family. When the number increases, the daily food consumption will also increase a lot.

Gu Kuangyun has tried his best to feed them with the leaves from the vegetable garden and the tender grass on the mountain.

But food is still essential.

There is a trick to peeling the corn. Most people just carefully peel off the corn one by one.

But when Changshui village threshed the corn, it first poked out two rows of corn with a flat-head screwdriver.

Then use the threshed corn cobs to wipe the unthreshed corn cobs, so that the corn can be easily threshed.

However, after working like this for a long time, the palms still ached from the ground. Generally, Gu Kuangyun would wear a pair of gloves, so that the pain caused by the friction would be lessened.

"Mom, look at this posture, next year we have to grow some corn." Gu Kuangyun talked to her mother while chopping corn.

Lin Shuhua nodded back to her, "Yes."

A while ago, the farm was repaired and so many animals were added. Next year, we should grow some corn. The animals must be fed with some grain in order to grow fat.

"I think our pigs are doing well this year, and they should be able to produce a lot of meat during the Chinese New Year," Gu Kuangyun said.

Lin Shuhua was also happy, "Your dad goes to cut pigweed every morning and feeds our pigs so they are strong."

Gu Kuangyun cast a sideways glance at her mother, and felt that her teeth were a little sore, the sour smell of happiness!
