Now we still have to bring food to Grandpa and Grandma. They're also husking corn.
Every year we plant too much corn. It's basically all put in the field in corn baskets, so in the winter we have to bring it home, since leaving it outside isn't safe.
So we usually start by husking the corn from the field first.
Zhao Qingxiang's field is suitable for corn baskets, they've already dismantled six, trying to finish quickly, and the ones in the yard can be sorted easily, sit on the kang and husk corn when it snows.
After ten days, all the corn from Zhao Qingxiang's field was husked and stored away.
Sun Yun sighed in relief. The corn in the yard wasn't urgent anymore.
Then the four of them covered the corn cob bones from the field with straw mats. They worked at home instead.
They worked for another three days before going to help out at the mother-in-law's place.
They took the broken woven plastic bags from home, as this made things go faster.
