After the Mid-Autumn Festival, before Li Qingxia came back, Li Long returned to the team and finally heard a good news that he had been looking forward to:
The superiors are preparing to build roads - the road from the fourth team to the village, Built from the current dirt road into a gravel road.
The fourth team is the village team that is the farthest east of the entire village, and further to the northeast is a company of the Corps. There is only one way to pass through the fourth team when you walk there, and there is only one donkey lane to pass through with other companies.
In later generations, there was another road directly to the Wuyi Highway from the Fourth Team to the southeast, which was considered the Grand Ring Road in Ma County, but it would take 30 years to build this road.
It is already very good to be able to repair a gravel road now. After all, the mud land is usually dusty and it rains and is full of mud soup, so it is too difficult to leave.
According to the notice given by Xu Chengjun after returning from a meeting in the village, this is the state's money to build roads in various townships and areas, and it is the earliest prototype of every village.
What surprised Li Jianguo was that building roads no longer required laborers from various villages to work as before, and villagers no longer needed to pay money. Everyone just needs to wait for the road to be repaired and used.
When Li Jianguo told Li Long the news, he sighed and said: "In the past, we dug a large canal to build roads, so we would take the food to work, and work for a day. I was so tired that I didn’t want to eat dinner but wanted to sleep, just one work point that day. At that time, I didn’t know how to care about my strength when working. The blood blisters I grinded on my hands the day before were ground up the next day and then the third day... It was so bitter." br>
Li Long didn't say anything silently. He was still young in those days and didn't know about this at all. He knew to play with him when he first came. Later, when he was old, he ran out every day and went home when he was tired and hungry.
Thinking about it now, I really enjoyed a blessing.
After all, among the peers, who, like Xu Haijun, did not help their family work together when they were in their teens? He also helped do a day's work in Gu Ermao's house.
Is that guy almost released now?
The road is built from the inside out, starting from the fourth team, first pulling sand and gravel on the road, then flattening with a bulldozer, and then pressing it with a roller.
After all, it's just paving the gravel road, so there's no need to be that trouble.
"Next year our team will dig a well." Li Jianguo continued, "I plan to be on the opposite side of the Laoma."
The four team's three residential areas, one in the southeast, is where Li Jianguo and others are located. ;There is one to the east, that is, Gu Boyuan's home; there is one to the west near Weigou.
The Laomah is located in the middle of three settlements, on the north side of the road. I think I should be able to drill a well in the south of the road to facilitate the villagers' drinking water - after all, in the records of the superiors, the drinking water of the residents of the fourth team is mainly based on the ground well.
This kind of well water is usually only three or two meters deep, and the water is very alkaline and can easily get sick after drinking it for a long time.
They didn't know that in fact, most of the families in the fourth team had drilled wells, at least ten meters deep, the water quality was definitely fine, and there was no saline smell. The elderly in the village said that , drinking this water is so sweet.
Li Long didn't feel any sweetness, but at least it was much better than the original well water.
The seepage layer is deep.
I dug a well in my previous life in the past two years. At that time, the fourth team did not have the same changes as it is now, and very few people pressed the well. So after the well was drilled, everyone took the donkey carriage and horse carriage to the well to fetch water. Of course, the time for fetching water is also fixed, and there is one day every week.
The power is charged for starting the well, so the water management officer will notify everyone on the loudspeaker when opening the well, and then every household will go to get water.
Li Long used a donkey cart at that time, and he used a modified gasoline barrel - the two ends of the barrel, and two donkey cart tires, which were used as shock absorption. The bucket is placed flat with a square mouth about the size of a book on it, so that water can be poured in.
It turned out that the oil outlet was welded to the end, and another hole was made on one side of the barrel, welded a steel pipe as a water drain, and put rubber pipes on the steel pipe for extended use.
Many families have such buckets. After the well is released, each company takes turns to get close to the well. The stupid one is to directly use the bucket to collect water and pour it into its own bucket. If the smarter one is to directly find a rubber tube, just find a rubber tube. Poke it into the mouth of the well pipe and put it into your own bucket at the other end, which is convenient.
The diameter of the well pipe outlet must be fifteen to twenty centimeters, and the water output is large. The water tower is built on the side and is used to filter sand. The water pressure is high, and it will directly rush out a large pit in the water and then flow along the canal.
Those who don’t have time to pull water will come after the well stops and have time to come over. If you use water in a hurry, you will also take the water from the pit.
After all around the pit, including Gobi stones, are often washed away by water, and are quite clean.
Li Long still remembers something. A mother and daughter in the village walked to the county. When they came back, they were tired and dirty. Seeing that there was no one around, they scrubbed their bodies by the pit and then came back. The students saw it and told them to their parents.
The parents went to the door of the mother and daughter to scold, and they cursed for almost an hour - because everyone agreed that the water in the pit was just for drinking, and they would remind students not to play inside when passing by. Don't get dirty with water.
After this spread, for a long time, the family had no shame to see anyone.
The roads will be repaired this year, and the wells will be drilled next year. History will still move forward according to the original trajectory, but the lives of the people in the team have actually changed a lot.
Li Long guessed that there might be a task for Reeds this year, but there was still some time before that. It’s nothing to stay at home right now, so I’ll occasionally come back to the team to help.
The rice has been harvested, and Li Long bought a lot of new rice, and some of it stayed with his elder brother and some were taken back to the big yard.
The remaining crops in the team were harvesting the fields, and the sunflower and corn were received from the fields one by one by one, and finally in the bag, and some were taken to the Grain Bureau to become part of the public grain delivery. Some of them were sold to dealers and some were left to stockpiles for their own use.
On this day, Meng Hai from Qingshui River came over with a donkey cart to bring two yellow sheep to Li Long.
Li Long was a little surprised and asked while helping to unload the yellow sheep: "Have you got the yellow sheep from there?"
"Yes, a group. It happened that the township armed forces department asked us to order gun inspections and prepare for winter training, so we beat some." Meng Hai smiled.
Li Long guessed the trick and said nothing.
"Recently, I found that wild boars in the South Mountain have also come out." Meng Hai said, "If you catch wild boars in a while, I will also send you one. This year there are a lot of wild boars, and they have grown from the beginning of spring. Until now, it is the type of thirty or forty kilograms, and the meat is very tender. "
Li Long is quite happy. He didn't expect that he could eat wild game even if he didn't enter the mountain.
Meng Hai came here to send yellow sheep and had to do other things. After delivering it, he drank a sip of water, chatted with Li Long and left.
The yellow sheep are peeled, the skin and flesh are there, and the internal organs are washed.
This sincerity is really full.
Li Long looked at the meat and it was very fresh. He should have just been cooked this morning. It's morning now, and I'll deal with it immediately after the fight, and I'll bring it over immediately after the processing.
Not bad.
Ms. Yang is watching the child and feeding milk to the two children. Li Long first unloaded the meat of one of the yellow mutton into the small part. After unloading the meat, chop it with oil and prepare to boil the oil.
The bones are ready to be cooked - it seems that you have to buy a refrigerator when you go to Wucheng.
There are currently sold refrigerators in Wucheng, but Li Long didn't care about it in the past few times, nor did he remember it.
One of his jeep is not easy to pull.
I don’t know if there is any Shicheng, so I have to go and take a look.
Ms. Yang finished feeding the milk to her two children, coaxing the children to play, and then preparing to make lunch.
Li Long turned to see the child, and at the same time applied salt to the other yellow mutton meat and skin, intending to take him to his elder brother's house after lunch.
When Gu Xiaoxia came back from get off work, she was also a little surprised to see the dried yellow mutton hanging in the yard. "I'm going to take one of the two ends from Qingshui River, and I'm going to take one of them to my elder brother." Li Long said, "I'll give you a leg to Uncle Luo at that time." >"Okay." Gu Xiaoxia had no objection to this at all. She really didn't lack meat at home.
Gu Boyuan was very envious and even jealous of Li Long's current situation of "people sit at home and meat comes from the mountains", but he ate ready-made food, so he would only say good.
I simply fry the yellow mutton at noon. Sister Yang is now good at dealing with this wild animal and it is very fragrant.
After eating, the two children took a nap, Li Long drove a jeep to the team to deliver yellow mutton.
A large truck has started to pull sand and gravel on the road of the fourth team, and the materials are piled on one side of the road, leaving half of the space for vehicles to pass.
The road has been expanded and excavated on both sides of Weigou, and Li Long saw some yellow broken boards. The jeep drove out for a while before it realized that it should be the coffin board of the past.
Li Long didn't care either. Although this place is remote, it has been lived in since ancient times, but it is relatively small, so it was like a wasteland when Li Jianguo and others came to develop it.
Actually, it has always been people.
He went to Uncle Luo first, put down a leg of lamb, and chatted with Uncle Luo for a few words. Uncle Luo asked Li Long to admire the bags of dried sugar slags in his warehouse, and told Li Long that he was using this thing to mix the grass for deer and roe deer.
There were several piles of wheat grass next to the old horse, all of which were piled up separately. Li Long guessed that Uncle Luo should have separated because he was afraid of causing a fire.
Li Long was wondering if he would set up a crusher later, otherwise if he raised more cattle and sheep, it would be too wasteful to eat the food as it is now. If you use a guillotine, it will be too tiring and troublesome.
When Li Long left the old horse, he happened to meet Yang Xuebing in the same village. Not only Yang Xuebing was there, but his daughter Yang Yuhong was there too. However, Li Long saw Yang Yu's face flushed, his breathing was rapid, his spirits were not good, and he obviously had a fever.
"What's wrong?" Li Long took the meat down and put it in the kitchen and handed it to his sister-in-law Liang Yuemei. When he came out, he asked, "Why did you have a fever at this time?"
This season is morning and evening Although it is a little cold, it is not frozen. How could you have a fever?
Yang Xuebing is less than forty years old and has a son in his family, which is the same as Li Jianguo's family structure.
Yang Yuhong and Li Juan are one year apart in age and have a good relationship. They often come to Li’s house to play.
"I don't know either? I came back from school yesterday. I went to bed after dinner and played for a while.
It was wrong when I woke up this morning, and then I got fever and had a stomachache. It hurts. I can't tell why. I asked your brother to give me an injection, but I don't care about it..."
Li Jianguo is just a barefoot doctor. If he has a fever, he will either take medicine or get an injection. This kind of injection is The needle doesn't work, and he doesn't know what to do.
The book was not taught, and my father-in-law never mentioned this situation.
"If you don't work, go to the village." Li Jianguo said, "It's not a trivial matter to have a baby, you can't be careless. This is also strange. Didn't your family find anything wrong?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥! "No." Yang Xuebing patted his thighs, "It was fine last night... I had nothing at home, there was no problem with the food, and I slept at night with a quilt and didn't catch a cold."
"Will that happen to you when you come back from school?" Li Jianguo asked.
Yang Xuebing shook his head.
Li Long said:
"Let's go, I'll take you to the village..." After he said that, he asked Yang Yuhong: "Yuhong, what did you do when you came back from school yesterday afternoon?" Yang Yuhong opened his mouth He glanced at Li Long, then closed his eyes and shook his head.
Du Chunfang next to him suddenly said: "Have you encountered something unclean? In my hometown, there are children going to the cemetery to play and they get a fever when they come back. This is the same..."
Li Long suddenly thought of the coffin board in Weigou, and asked again: "Yuhong? Did you play in Weigou yesterday?" When asked, Yang Xuebing was a little confused.
Li Long did not wait for Yang Yuhong to speak, and explained: "When I came back, I saw the road construction in Weigu, and many coffin boards were dug out in that area."
< br>
At this time, Yang Yuhong nodded and said "Yes".
Du Chunfang looked like "I knew it was like this" and said, "Just find an old lady to shout."
Yang Xuebing seemed to understand something and immediately hugged her. Yang Yuhong left in a hurry.
Li Jianguo shook his head: "I'm scared."
Liang Yuemei was a little worried:
"Juan is so good to her, won't be anything?"
Li Long was also a little worried, so he thought about waiting for Li Juan to come back to see the situation.
When Li Juan rode a bicycle and brought Li Qiang back, Li Qiang also complained: "Dad, mom! My sister always rides a bicycle and has fallen twice today. ”
Li Long was also worried after hearing this. Li Juan would not have anything, right?
But then I heard Li Juan retort: "There are so many piles of stones on the road and so many reed ditches are dug. If you sit behind and twist, how can you not fall?" br>
Looking at Li Juan becoming much more normal, Li Long felt relieved. Then I heard my sister-in-law Liang Yuemei ask: "Juan, do you know where Yuhong was playing yesterday?" "I know, Qiangqiang came back first yesterday, I will take care of him. He came back all the way with Yuhong." Li Juan held up the car and prepared to enter the house with her schoolbag on her back, and said at the door.
"What are you doing in Weigou?" Liang Yuemei's expression suddenly became bad.
Li Juan is afraid of Liang Yuemei because her father is reasonable and her mother will make moves. "It's okay, you say." Li Long said from the side, "If your mother doesn't hit you, she wants to know what's wrong. Yuhong has a fever today."
"I deserve it... …” Li Juan said subconsciously, and immediately explained to Liang Yuemei, “Mom, I don’t mean that. She picked up a skull yesterday and asked me to help break the teeth on it. I didn’t break them. I said that break them, below Didn’t she bit me, and then she broke her teeth and put it in her pocket. "
"What?" Liang Yuemei widened her eyes, "What else?"
Seeing that Liang Yuemei was about to find a note, Li Long hurriedly stopped her in the middle and said, "Juan, you finished it all at once. As long as you didn't do this, it would be nothing." >"She also asked me to carry that bone back. I said I would take it back and my mother would have to suck me to death. I don't want it. As a result, she took that back and said she would hide it..."
< br>Liang Yuemei ran out before she finished listening. Li Long guessed that this should be running towards the Yang family.
"This unlucky child..." Du Chunfang muttered beside her, "Can this thing be touched?"
Li Long was also amused and crying when he heard this. He was really ignorant and fearless. These two kids are really bold!
He asked Li Juan again: "You really didn't touch me, are you?"
"No." Li Juan knew that her uncle was kind to her and was serious. He said, "I know that thing can't be touched, so I didn't move at all."
"That's fine." Li Long knew that this was a confrontation.
After hearing this, Li Jianguo shook his head: "Scared."
Okay, my elder brother Li Jianguo must not believe in those messy things anyway.
Li Long is different. He is reborn, so what else can I not believe? Anyway, the end of science is metaphysics, and this thing is difficult to explain. It may be a magnetic field, an epidemic, and it may...
Unlimited possibilities.
When Liang Yuemei came back, she said: "Yuhong's pocket has a tooth, that bone, let her hide it in the corner of her idle house." Li Juan said with a sad face: "She must know that I sued me, so she shouldn't have a chance to play with me later." "Don't worry." Li Long said with a smile, "She has to thank you later. Fever is not fun, she is suffering now."
"It's much better." Liang Yuemei said, "It's strange. Once that thing is taken away and buried, Yuhong's spirit will suddenly get much better."
"That's just scared." Li Jianguo believed even more After his own judgment, "The thing is gone, don't be afraid."
Okay, this explanation is barely understandable.
Seeing that Li Juan is fine, Li Long drove back in a jeep. When he passed by Weigou, he really vaguely saw bones.
There is also a pottery jar placed on the side of the road, with a red willow growing inside.
It is said that red willows can also ward off evil spirits, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
After returning home, Li Long told Gu Xiaoxia about this matter as gossip, and Gu Xiaoxia didn't know how to explain it.
After all, as an educator, she should believe in science, but this...science is at least difficult to explain at the moment.
But from the bottom of my heart, Gu Xiaoxia wrote down that when the child is a little older, they cannot get in touch with these things.
Li Long thinks boys should be bolder. The bold and popular one should not encounter any messy things - it can also be explained by magnetic fields, right?
But I didn't expect that Li Juan, a child, was so scared, and he was not afraid at all. (This chapter ends)
