Chapter 156 Autumn Harvest
Song Yu and Da Huang watched Xiao Ming turn the corner and entered the way home under the street lamp behind the house, and then called Da Huang to go home.

The moonlight is still bright.

Song Yu entered the gate, just in time to see Song's father passing by in the yard, as if he had just come out of the bathroom.

"Xiao Ming left?"

"Ah."

"Tsk tsk, look at our Ahua, she really didn't spoil the vegetable garden, and she took the initiative to go back to the chicken coop to sleep in the dark, so worry-free." Song's father praised.

"Yes."

The two went back to their room while chatting, and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Song Yu thought there was nothing to do, so she prepared to spend the day at home.

However, after dinner, Dad Song went out for a walk, and when he came back, he said that it was the family's turn to harvest corn.

It turns out that the combine harvester that was ordered a few days ago has already harvested the corn field of Song Yu's family. It happened that Song's father took a look and was ready to harvest.

In fact, not only compared with 20 years ago, but also compared with a few years ago, the autumn harvest is more worry-free and trouble-free.

A few years ago, corn was harvested with white corn husks, and when I got home, I had to peel the husks myself.Now it is directly grilled clean, and it can even be directly crushed into corn kernels in the field, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

Of course, threshing will cause some corn kernels to be wasted, and it is not easy to pick them up again, so Song Yu's family basically adopts a harvesting method that only removes the husks.

After the yellow and long corn is picked out by the harvester, it will be transported out of the field by car.

Generally, people’s yards are small, and the returned corn will choose to dry on the road. This leads to autumn and summer harvests every year, and there are many people who do not grab a place on the road to occupy places to dry corn.

Of course, this also led to the congestion of vehicles on the road, but in rural areas, it's okay.

Song Yu's house used to have to fight for a seat, but now there is a brick-paved yard at home, which is neat and clean, so it is not too convenient to just take it home to dry.

Therefore, Song Yu, who originally planned to take a good rest for a day, was forced to go to the corn field to participate in the autumn harvest.

Fortunately, the harvester provided a transport vehicle. In less than 2 hours, it took 4 large fuel tricycles to bring all the corn from Song Yu's 4 mu of land back home.

After the 'Boom Boom Boom' harvester left, Mother Song began to lead Song Yu and Father Song to pick up those lucky ones who were not taken away by the harvester.

Because the machine is not so careful, some lodging corn, or the corn in the corner of the square field is not harvested cleanly, so it needs to be found manually.

Otherwise they will germinate in the fields and become weeds, which not only wastes food, but also increases labor.

It took an hour to pick up a whole small car, and it was full of the electric tricycle that Song's father rode.

This is the prelude to the autumn harvest.

After lunch, Song's father went out again. He was going to find the straw crushing and returning machine.

After crushing and returning to the field machine, no matter standing, lying down, or even the underground root system of corn can be crushed very finely.

Moreover, it also has the function of cultivating land, so the crushed straw is evenly mixed with the plowed loose soil, and most of the straw above the ground is transferred into the ground, which also prevents the regeneration of some harmful insect eggs.

Obviously, the technology of returning the straw that can be used as fertilizer to the field also avoids the air pollution problems caused by burning them.

The pulverizer plowed it once, which made the field with corn stalks flat, and then sprinkled some fertilizer and watered it again. After a week of water seepage, wheat can be sown.

The entire autumn harvest can be completed in one day, and the autumn planting can also be done in a few hours with professional wheat seeders.

After lunch, looking at the bare corn in the yard, Song Yu lamented how hard it was to spend several days in the field with her parents when she was a child, and then go home to peel the corn bracts.

"It's technology that changes the world!"

I hope I can also use scientific knowledge to change the future.Song Yu thought silently.

Afterwards, under the joint efforts of Song Ma and Song Yu, it took 3 hours to spread the 4 carts of corn into a thin layer and spread them in the yard.

If the sunny weather like this can last for a few days, and if you turn over the spread corn frequently, then they will be almost dried.

At that time, either choose to find a corn thresher to remove the dry corn kernels and sell them directly;

In fact, this set of procedures looks simple, but everything costs money. For example, the harvester costs 100 yuan per acre of land, and there are also electricity charges for seeds, fertilizers, and watering. The net income is only a few hundred yuan.

Therefore, Song Yu's family has 4 acres of land, two seasons a year, and the net income is more than 3 yuan, which is Song Yu's current one-month subsidy.

This is why a large number of young people in the village would rather leave their hometowns and go out to work.

Song Yu casually picked up a piece of corn on the brick floor, gently peeled off the corn kernels with his hands, and threw them to the side of the vegetable garden, where the little pheasant standing there had already seen his eyes shine.

Ever since the corn was placed in the yard, A'hua and the little chickens have seen it. Only when A'hua tried to warn the chickens, they didn't swarm up to grab the fresh corn kernels.

And Song Yu and Song Ma have been busy all the time, and have no time to take care of them.

It wasn't until Song Yu finished his work and was sitting by the yard to rest that he saw Ah Hua who was trying to maintain order at the side. It used its stalwart body to stop the chicks who couldn't help but run over.

Seeing this scene, Song Yu wanted to laugh.

The corn in his hand was still a little wet, some kernels were peeled off, and the thick yellow juice stuck to Song Yu's hands, but he still peeled a whole corn cob for the chickens.

After eating, they went to find water to drink by themselves, and went to dig food on the soft ground, which was also very leisurely.

Rhubarb followed him to harvest corn in the morning, and barked a few times at the barking harvester dog to show his excitement.

In the afternoon, Dad Song went out without Da Huang not paying attention, leaving Da Huang in the yard, visiting A Hua from time to time, and feeding the puppy from time to time.

Song Yu washed his hands, took out his phone, found Song Yuan's number and dialed it.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Song Yuan asked loudly.

Song Yuan's voice was a little noisy, as if it was very lively.

"I see that half of the corn in our village has been harvested, and we must hurry up on the fertilizer promotion!" Song Yu also replied loudly.

After harvesting the corn, it is time to sprinkle fertilizer and water. This is a great time to sell fertilizer.

"I know, my brother."

Seeing Song Yu asking about this, Song Yuan found a place with few people, and replied:
"No, I specially recruited a few people who are eloquent. Today, apart from one point in our village, there are three nearby villages who are promoting at the same time. They all brought our organic fertilizer and bought and sold it on the spot."
