Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Chapter 107 Harvesting Peanuts

Niu Xiaomin: "Don't give it as a gift. Zhao Zhao gave it to me with good intentions. It would be embarrassing if I gave it back.

Wait for mom to bring some snacks home, pick out the intact ones and send some to Zhao Zhao, don't just go in and not leave, this will stop the problem."

"Yes, our factory has just produced a new kind of wafer biscuits. There are very few of them on the market. Pick some for Zhao Zhao to try."

The adults were still at get off work, so the two sisters started to open the stove to boil water and cook. Niu Xiaomin hurried to do his homework. After entering junior high school, he had a lot of knowledge and couldn't answer many questions. He had to use his brain to keep up with the pace.

Han Zhaozhao washed a basin of strawberries and ate them secretly while cooking.

"Alas, it's winter now. No matter how delicious the strawberries are, she doesn't dare to give them to grandma. She can only eat them secretly by herself!"

Han Zhaozhao doesn't dare to bet on human nature!

She didn't know whether her granddaughter or her daughter was more important in her grandmother's heart.

Although in her heart, her only relative is her grandmother. But her grandmother may not think so, the old lady still has her own daughter in her hometown in Northeast China!

Her grandmother has always lived with her and loves her the most now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Cabbage soup was stewed in a pot on the coal stove, and a pot of mixed flour steamed buns was steamed in a large pot in the kitchen, and the fire wall and kang were lit at the same time.

Han Zhaozhao used her free time to knit woolen hats. Her grandmother always wore a square yarn scarf when she went to work every day.

The temperature this winter is unusually low. The old lady just had a serious illness and I am really worried that she will catch a cold again.

When Grandma Han got off work, it was dark again. She could eat a hot meal as soon as she came home, washed up, and the old lady felt warm in her heart.

At the dinner table, the old lady drank thick multi-grain porridge and took a bite of multi-flour steamed bread, feeling very satisfied. "The house is warm this year, and I feel that eating multi-grain food is more delicious than before!"

Han Zhaozhao didn't feel guilty at all and nodded in agreement, "Yeah! My body is warm, my stomach is full, and even the water I drink tastes sweet."

The old lady laughed, "That's right!"

After dinner, the old lady washed her feet with the help of her granddaughter, and went to the kang to try on her new socks. "Oh my! They are so comfortable and fit my feet well! These woolen socks are so thick. Even if I don't wear shoes outside, my feet won't be cold."

"That's impossible. My feet will definitely get cold if I don't wear shoes. The wool has a lot of gaps and is too breathable, so cold wind will blow in!"

"Well, I just said that, why are you taking it so seriously?

What have you knitted? A cotton hat? Tsk tsk, Zhaozhao, your taste is much worse than your mother's. What color (shai) did you choose? It's too dark for a girl of your age!

They say you can’t wear red or green, so you can pick a white one that’ll look better than this Gu Tong one.”

"I knit this for you. You go to work every day, so you can wear it to keep warm. I don't go out much, so I won't need it. I'll knit a new one when you go to school next year."

The old lady touched the soft wool with curiosity and said, "Well, that's fine. This color doesn't suit you. We have several rabbit skins at home. I'll sew you a rabbit fur hat tomorrow."

The brim of the hat is trimmed with rabbit fur, and it looks best on little girls. "

Han Zhaozhao slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I hadn't even thought of it until you mentioned it. A woolen hat with a layer of rabbit fur sewn on the lining is windproof and looks good, and it's warmer than a woolen hat.

Grandma, you are good at sewing. When I finish knitting, you can cut a piece of rabbit skin and sew a layer of lining for yourself!"

The old lady couldn't sit still. Seeing her granddaughter knitting at a very fast speed, she came over to watch carefully. "It looks very simple. I want to learn it too!"

So, Han Zhaozhao started his second teaching session of the day.

It was almost nine o'clock. Han Zhaozhao squinted and yawned, "Grandma, it's getting late. We should go to bed! Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

The old lady was knitting a hat under the lamp with great energy, without even raising her head, "You are sleepy, go to sleep first, I will knit for a while.

I finally learned it, but if I don’t practice more, I’m afraid I’ll forget how to knit tomorrow!”

Han Zhaozhao: You just got something new! Just like she just learned how to knit a sweater.

"Then remember to go to bed early. Knitting for a long time at night is bad for your eyes!"

Han Zhaozhao couldn't take care of her grandmother, so she went back to her room and went to sleep.

After closing the door and drawing the curtains, Han Zhaozhao immediately stood up.

He took off his cotton jacket and trousers, turned off the lights and entered the space.

Her peanut field is still waiting for her to harvest!

Although she was very happy playing games with her friends, she did not forget that she was a farmer and had more than ten acres of land waiting for her to harvest.

That is her main job. She will never feel at ease no matter what she does as she has so many crops to harvest.

She didn't want to use the traditional clumsy method to harvest peanuts, so she used a hoe.

After enjoying the extreme speed brought by fast modern tools, Han Zhaozhao started to think of a solution.

Yes, she remembered that there was a winch on the fishing boat. She carried the tool box onto the fishing boat and quickly unloaded the machine installed on the deck.

He moved the machine to the edge of the peanut field and connected it with an electric wire. Han Zhaozhao fixed one end of the rope on the machine to the plowshare and stood at the other end of the peanut field holding the plowshare.

Use the remote control to turn on the start switch of the winch. With a "buzz", the winch started and the rope was tightened circle by circle. Han Zhaozhao held the plow head and pressed it down, and a row of peanuts were turned up one by one by the plow head.

The white peanuts and fresh soil were exposed on the ground, and Han Zhaozhao immediately smiled.

It seems that this operation is very feasible and the efficiency of harvesting peanuts is greatly improved.

After more than ten trips back and forth, all the peanuts in an acre were dug up. Looking back, the ground was covered with rows of white peanuts.

After the power was cut off and the machine was turned off, Han Zhaozhao began to pick peanut vines. The soil was very loose and with a slight shake, the soil on the peanut vines fell off, and clusters of white peanuts appeared in front of her.

"It seems that the yield of this first crop of peanuts is not very high!" Han Zhaozhao plucked a fresh peanut, pinched it with two fingers, and with a "pop" sound, the peanut shell cracked, revealing the pink peanut kernel inside.

The undried fresh peanut skins are not red but light pink. When you chew them, they are crispy, fragrant and sweet.

Han Zhaozhao likes to eat fresh nuts the most, including walnuts and sweet almonds. She always feels that they are fragrant when eaten after being dried, but the dried fruit skins always have a slightly bitter taste.

While gathering the peanut vines, she would occasionally pinch a tender peanut and put it in her mouth to eat.

It was not until twelve o'clock that we finally cleaned up the acre of peanut field.

All the peanut vines were put in the yard to dry, and she really didn't have time to pick peanuts now.

She planned to dry the seedlings together with the seeds, as there was no rain in the space and she didn't have to worry about them getting damaged.

Han Zhaozhao was too tired to practice martial arts anymore. She took a shower, changed her underwear, left the space, and went to bed. He didn't even bother to pay attention to whether her breasts were asleep or not.

The next morning, it was almost seven o'clock when Han Zhaozhao got up. She pricked up her ears in a daze and felt a little strange. Why was there no sound in the yard outside?

At this time of day, her grandmother would go in and out all the time, closing the kitchen, going into the bedroom, and packing lunch boxes, making the most noise.

Han Zhaozhao was startled and quickly got up, put on cotton trousers and a cotton jacket, opened the door and ran to the main room while slipping on his shoes.

At this time, the main room was closed tightly, the whole yard was silent, and the kitchen was deserted, with no signs of any fire at all.

"Grandma is sick again?" A thought came to Han Zhaozhao's mind.

Pushing open the door to the main room, Han Zhaozhao hurriedly went to knock on the old lady's bedroom door.
