深秋,庄稼都收割完了,所有参与收割的农户都得到了粮食作为酬劳。这些报酬涵盖了当年集体农庄耕种的所有作物,有小麦、黑麦、燕麦、大麦、荞麦。大家把小麦磨成面粉,留着烤面包,其余的都拿来喂家禽家畜。这些粮食足够吃到明年秋天。人们给牲畜喂的是这些谷物,获取的却是更好的东西:鲜牛奶、酸奶油、奶油、鸡蛋……我的父母也拿到了粮食。他们把粮袋子摞在凉台一角高高的架子上,以便于猫捉老鼠。 In the autumn, all the crops are harvested, and all the farmers who took part in the harvest have received food as compensation. These remuneration covers all the crops cultivated by collective farms that year, including wheat, rye, oats, barley and buckwheat. We grind the wheat into flour, leave the toast, and the rest are fed poultry and livestock. These foods are enough to eat next autumn. People fed the animals with these grains, but they got the better: fresh milk, sour cream, butter, eggs ... My parents also got food. They piled the bags of foodstuffs on high shelves at the corner of the veranda so that cats could catch mice.
