Chapter 232 The Humorous Li Long in the Yinchang
Li Long left, Gu Xiaoxia hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl and prepared to clean up.
Teacher Wang walked to the door and asked with a smile:
"He left?"
"He left." Gu Xiaoxia said with a blush, "He took it Come here and dry some mushrooms, Teacher Wang, I will share some with you..."
"No, my cooking is not good, and it is a waste to hold it. I smell your rice... Huh? What is this?"
Her eyes were fixed on the half pot of wild strawberries.
"He said they are wild strawberries from the mountains and they are quite delicious." Gu Xiaoxia brought the basin to Teacher Wang, "You try it."
Teacher Wang picked up one and tasted it Tasting it, his eyes lit up:
“Hey, it’s really delicious. He really means it.”
"There is still half a bowl of face-saving, Teacher Wang, do you want to eat?"
"Eat, I will eat." Teacher Wang is not embarrassed. She and Gu Xiaoxia have a good relationship and often share things with each other. " I originally planned not to eat today, but I smelled your rice. I was planning to come over just now when I heard his voice. "
Gu Xiaoxia scooped up the rice and brought it to Teacher Wang. Teacher Wang took a bite, saw the pickles on the table, picked up a chopstick and mixed it, took another bite, and nodded with satisfaction. , while eating, he said:
"Have you identified him?"
"Yes."
"What about Vice Principal Wang's son?"
"I clearly rejected him." Gu Xiaoxia said, "I told him that I have a partner."
" That's not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I won't give up easily." Teacher Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "Others work in the countryside and are close to here, so they may come to see you often."
"Then I will. I will not see him." Gu Xiaoxia willed. He was very firm and did not take this matter seriously. "If he comes again, I will refuse directly in front of many people. If he wants to lose face, he will not come again. If it doesn't work, I will go to their work... I don't believe him." Don’t pay attention to the impact at all?”
“Don’t say it, I believe you can do this.” Teacher Wang looked at Gu Xiaoxia seriously and said with a smile, “This Li Long is really good. What a blessing.”
"Actually, I think it's my blessing." Gu Xiaoxia blushed, but her tone was firm, "If it weren't for him, I should be cutting wheat in the shade at home... Teacher Wang, you don't know that cutting wheat is really... I’m so tired, I’ve been hunched over all day, waiting By night, I feel that my waist is no longer my own..."
"It seems that you have really suffered a lot."
"We have suffered a little, my dad. , Brother Li Long and his generation are the ones who really endure hardship... ...They are used to it, but I can't get used to it... If it weren't for Li Long, I might have stayed in the village my whole life," Gu Xiaoxia said, sitting on the bedside, "So, I know he is really good for me..."
“But this is not love "Love." Teacher Wang said while eating, "It's for your own good that you can repay him. If you don't like him..."
"I like him!" Gu Xiaoxia interrupted Teacher Wang, and then she I was shocked by my answer.
Can these words be spoken?
"That's good, that's good." Teacher Wang smiled, "I'm worried that you can't tell the difference between gratitude and love... Well, the soup rice you made is good."
< br>Gu Xiaoxia blushed and lowered her head and stopped talking.
When Li Long returned home, both Li Juan and Li Qiang were waiting for him.
"Come on, Juan, Qiangqiang, these are wild strawberries, serve this to your grandma and mother to try." Li Long got off the bicycle and saw the two children looking at him eagerly, Smiling, she took off the pot of wild strawberries and handed it to Li Juan.
Li Juan took it, and Li Qiang also came up and grabbed the edge of the basin. The two of them carried it and went to find Du Chunfang.
Du Chunfang was sitting in the yard, watching Li Juan and Li Qiang coming over with basins, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, let your mother eat it, I won't Eat.”
“Grandma, eat!” Li Qiang said loudly.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat." Du Chunfang was very happy, grinning, she reached out and took a few wild strawberries, then pushed the pot away, "Go and give it to your mother."< br>
Li Long put down the bike, took off the dried wild mushrooms from the back of the bike, found a basin, poured some into it, and said:
"I'll take these dried mushrooms to Lao Luo... I'm too tired, go back to sleep." OK."
" Okay, go back and rest quickly."
Li Jianguo was washing his face at the pressurized water well. After washing, he wiped and said:
"Da Qiang came over and asked if he could get off the Internet today. …”
"How can he be so energetic? He has stopped working for the past two days." Li Long said, "You have to have a good rest for two days."
Back at Lao Ma No., Lao Luo was getting a new cut of grass to feed the deer. Li Long was quite happy to see the deer, but the big roe deer was a little wilted and the little wild boar was still crowing, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. It was getting dark at this time, which meant that the area near Laomahao was not a residential area, otherwise someone would definitely come and complain.
"Uncle Luo, these are dried mushrooms brought back from the mountains. This is a Codonopsis pilosula root. It is not very full. I will dig it up until it is full in the fall and bring it back to you." Li Long said.
"Hey, this Codonopsis pilosula is really big..." Uncle Luo was shocked when he saw it, "Isn't this bad?"
"There are many in the mountains," Li Long He smiled and said, "Soak in boiling water, or boil it and drink it to replenish your energy."
These days, most elderly people believe in traditional Chinese medicine, so they believe everything about replenishing qi and blood.
When he went home for breakfast the next morning, Li Jianguo said at the dinner table that it was time to shade the wheat field.
Because the wheat is about to be harvested.
In fact, this work should have started half a month ago. This year, the whole village urgently took over the task of tying large brooms. Now all the strong laborers are tying brooms, so the work has not started yet.
With the Li family back, this work can begin.
In fact, when the team was born at the beginning of the year, Xu Congjun had already made it clear that the wheat fields that originally belonged to the public now belonged to nearby private individuals. These fields are still used for public wheat threshing. If private wheat is threshed, each person will use their own wheat field.
The wheat field is usually relatively fixed, because the selected place must first be close to the residential area, and secondly, it must be flat, and preferably not far from the land.
In those years, wheat harvesting, sunflower harvesting, and corn drying were all done on the wheat field. During the wheat harvest, some people would sleep on the wheat field at night to watch the wheat.
At this time, children usually like to play on soft wheat straw - the wheat straw is crushed by the roller during the playing field and is very soft. It is not irritating at all. It is very comfortable to lie on it and can directly The kind where people sink.
The favorite thing for children who like to hide and seek is to dig a hole in the wheat straw at this time, and then pull up the wheat straw to block the hole. Normally this will not be found.
Of course, the most likely outcome is that the person hiding in the cave came out on his own, either because it was too hot inside and couldn't stand it, or the person who was looking for him couldn't find it, and finally went home without anyone. I found myself and came out.
Li Long remembered that in his previous life, there was a child who was hiding from cats. He dug a hole in a pile of wheat straw and hid himself in it. The hole was blocked with wheat straw. As a result, he fell asleep inside (lack of oxygen?), and then waited. When it got dark and he didn't go home, people from the entire settlement mobilized to look for him. Finally, the shouting woke the child up and he got out.
Of course you can’t avoid being beaten.
At this time, the most common warning to children in the village is not to play with fire.
Fortunately, the children are quite obedient in this regard. In the last life, I never heard of any wheat haystacks catching fire in the dozen or so wheat fields in the three residential areas of the village.
"Then let's do it. There's not much work on the field anyway." Li Long said, "It's done in half a day."
"I'll call someone later." Li Jianguo As representatives of commune members and current villagers, they still have a sense of initiative - in other words, they, the founders of the village, are the ones with the strongest initiative.
The sense of ownership is very strong.
After Li Jianguo visited several houses near the residential area, he came back and said:
"Let's go, each family contributes one or two workers. Mom and dad, you won't go. Juan, mother, you and I will go..."
"Sister-in-law, please don't go. Brother, I will go with you." "Li Long said, "I won't be participating in the team's harvesting work in the next few days. I can just show up today."
"Okay, okay." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Just be lazy."
Li Qingxia saw that the two brothers were joking, and he turned to look at Du Chunfang with a smile , Du Chunfang wanted to defend Li Long a few words, but Li Qingxia pulled her back and signaled her to stop talking.
The two brothers are doing well, but what you say is unnecessary.
Li Long and Li Jianguo went to the wheat field carrying shovels. The Lu family's sister-in-law had already arrived, bringing the shovel with her.
Other people arrived one after another, and the work began.
It is said to be a shadow field, but in fact it is a whole set of work. Yinchang is just one of them.
The wheat field was used up in the first year. Because the ground was compacted, there was not much grass growing on it, but there was only garbage. Therefore, you must first clean up the garbage above, and then use a shovel or hoe to carefully and densely turn up the top three to five centimeters of soil.
Li Long didn’t know the principle at the time. He saw an explanation on a short video in his previous life, saying that it was to break some kind of capillary phenomenon, so that when it rains, the rainwater on the surface will not seep down, and the moisture in the ground will Don't let your anger rise.
After shoveling this layer, water it again. After watering, cover it with wheat straw - this step is called the shade field.
After the ground under the grass is dry, the rest is to use animals to pull the roller and start rolling it on the wheat field. The ground is compacted until it is compacted and no water can seep through it.
Next, each family divided into pieces and prepared to pile up their own stacks of wheat around the wheat field - playing in the order agreed in advance. Usually when playing, everyone comes together to help, and this is the busiest time.
Of course, the promotion of the show and the pretentiousness will be done separately.
Only in later generations, with the shortage of land resources and the increase in value, villages were merged into teams, three residential areas became one residential area, and mechanized harvesting became the norm, and the wheat fields disappeared.
Later, if you want to dry the grain when harvesting it, you can only dry it on the asphalt road, which greatly affects the notification of personnel and vehicles.
Li Long remembered reading the news in his last life. It was said that grain and straw were dried on the road in the mainland, which caused a large number of poles to be caught in the bottom of the oil tanker. When he entered the gas station to refuel, the straw spontaneously ignited. , ignited the oil tanker, causing the gas station to explode, killing and injuring many people.
Finally, the whole country seems to be strictly investigating the phenomenon of grain drying on roads, and such cases have become less common.
The team here later harvested corn and dried it on the roadside. Because the corn received by the combine harvester has a relatively high moisture content, the grain merchants did not accept it and had to dry it before selling it. But without the wheat field, the corn has to be dried on the road.
What should I do if the sun is no longer allowed on the road? You can only let the corn stay in the ground for enough time before harvesting it, and then sell it directly regardless of the moisture content.
Later, no more food was grown, and everything was grown into cotton.
The year Li Long suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in his previous life, the superiors notified him that 60% of the land should be used for growing food to ensure food security, so he started planting wheat again.
The villagers were actually quite happy working together. Everyone was not under much pressure and talked and laughed. The sister-in-law of the Lu family was still teasing Li Long:
"Xiaolong, you are old enough, here you go. Even though I introduced a few of them, you didn’t like them until later. "You and Xiaoxia are talking about... where are you? When are you going to have your banquet?"
Women are usually very interested in talking about these topics, and the fire of gossip burns fiercely. Usually at this time, the young guys can’t stand it.
But Li Long was not in this case. He shoveled the grass on the field and said:
"It will take a while. It will be done. We need to talk about the object and the object. We have not talked enough yet. !”
“Hey, Xiaolong is different now,” the old Aunt Chen from the backyard said with a smile, “It seems that good things are coming soon. The team has been divided this year, and Xiaolong has brought two big jobs to the team. Everyone has some money, Qiuli, you can just do it, and I will give you a gift!"
Old Chen's family! I am also making big brooms. So far, I have made sixty or seventy brooms. According to the price given by the team, I am 1.5 yuan a piece - that is more than 100 yuan! (The team provided wire and handles)
She was sincerely grateful to Li Long. Otherwise, throughout the year, although the team’s work-point price had increased several times, it would not have been much money at the end of the year. Easy to say!
According to the team, the money for this big broomstick is cash!
Li Long smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely let you know when the banquet is about to be held. It doesn't matter if you don't come by then, as long as the ceremony is here..."
“Hahahaha!”
“Xiaolong is so funny...”
Li Long's joke made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became cheerful.
Li Long was still working, and the team's loudspeaker rang:
"Puff, puff! Li Long, Li Long, if you hear this, come to the captain's house quickly. I have your phone number, emergency number! Li Long, Li Long hears the announcement and comes to the captain’s house quickly. Come here, it’s urgent, I have an emergency number for you!”
Li Long was a little surprised, and Li Jianguo hurriedly urged him:
“Go quickly, there’s an emergency number, maybe it’s you!” The call came from the supply and marketing cooperative..."
Li Long picked up the shovel and ran away. Li Jianguo said hurriedly:
"Just put down the shovel. What are you doing with that?"
Li Long then realized what he was doing, ran home, and rode on The bicycle rushed to the captain's house.
Xu Chengjun is waiting anxiously.
Because he heard that the caller was the unit chief of the supply and marketing cooperative, and his voice was quite urgent.
But don't think there is something wrong with this mission...if that happens, we will be in big trouble.
After all, there have been so many big brooms!
