Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 102 "Good Teammate"

Peach blossoms, swallows come.

Entering the end of March, the Loess Plateau became very lively as if overnight.

The willows are popping ears, the poplars are sprouting, and the whole field is covered with greenery.All kinds of birds are chirping overhead, bees are flying and butterflies are dancing... everything is filled with the breath of spring.

After Wang Manyin finished the meeting from the supply and marketing cooperative, he declined Liu Qingli's persuasion, carried the thorn basket again, and wandered away from Shigejie Commune.

This meeting also brought him a little shock: several sales agents were removed, and the subsequent punishment will not be light.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Wang Manyin...he is the object of praise.

Before the supply and marketing agency came to check, the accounts of their own consignment point were clear and standardized, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At the meeting, he was also rewarded with an enamel tea mug, full of rich flavor of the times.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Manyin turned to a cliffside Gelao as usual, and stepped into the space.The second batch of wheat, peanuts and other crops planted a year ago have gradually matured in recent days, and it is time to harvest.

This also means that there should be no shortage of food oil in the future.

There are also white flour buns... Although there is only a small amount of wheat planted in the space, based on last year's production estimates, it should not be a problem to harvest a hundred catties.

The key is how to grind it into noodles, which is a very troublesome problem.

There are only three stone mills in the village, and people are busy in front of the mill almost all day long.Carrying the full-grained wheat in the past by oneself, it is troublesome to be seen by others.

Wang Manyin thought for a long time, but couldn't find any good solution for the time being.

If it doesn't work, I can only get some stones secretly and try to build a small stone mill in the space.

After all, there will be corn, sorghum, beans, etc. that need to be processed in the future, so it is also necessary to use a stone mill.

But it must be too late now, so we can only harvest the crops for the time being.

The wheat fields were golden and the ears of wheat were full, which made Wang Manyin feel an indescribable sense of joy.

He first sharpened the sickle a few times, then bent down and started to work.

Just cut the land in one go.

There will be no rain in the space, and there is no worry about the wheat getting wet.Just make wheat sheaves and stand them on the ground.After nearly half a year of nurturing, Wang Manyin is now doing farm work in a decent way...

When he returned outside, he carried a few crucian carp and loach in his hand.In addition, just now I saw that the ground beside the ditch is very soft, so I made two handfuls and prepared to go back and fry them.

A few days ago, Wang Manyin released fish twice more.After such a long period of deliberation, people in the villages on both sides of the Dongla River have fully accepted the fact that there are fish in the water.

In fact, ordinary people are busy from morning to night every day, and seldom really pay attention to where these fish come from and where they are going.

For them, being able to eat meat is already the best thing.

Even if someone wants to find it...the root cause cannot be found.

The main stream of the Dongla River alone is tens of miles long, and there are also large and small tributaries.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, before Wang Manyin put down the pole, there was a meowing sound from the dog cave.

The two kittens heard his footsteps, ran to his feet excitedly, and kept biting the shoes with their teeth.

When Wang Manyin brought the kittens back at first, he was afraid that he would not be able to feed them alive, after all, they hadn't been weaned yet.

Unexpectedly, under the feeding of egg yolk and corn paste, they not only survived smoothly, but also seemed to grow very healthy.

What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that Rhubarb completely assumed the responsibility of the cat mother, pampering the two little ones and letting them play around on him.

When encountering a magpie hunting a cat, it will step forward to protect and drive it away.

Generally, cats and dogs have bad tempers, and they often fight when they are kept together.When Wang Manyin was a child, he had seen cats and dogs fight, and in the end, his eyes turned red.

On the other hand, Rhubarb was a bit subversive.

Lan Hua took a few fish and cleaned them up quickly.Crucian carp is stewed at noon, and loach can be kept for a while, and braised in soy sauce in time.

After eating fish so many times, she is quite experienced.

Even in the village, it is rare to hear of anyone getting stuck eating fish.

Nothing to do in the afternoon, rest at home for a while after dinner, Wang Manyin went to the construction site early to report.He also had an idea about the check dam of the second team, so he naturally wanted to do his part.

As soon as I arrived at the construction site, I saw the laborers of the second team form a large circle from a distance, and the focus in the center was naturally the educated youth Shang Zhimin.This person is very talented, outgoing, and loves to tell stories.

"It is said that there was an emperor in ancient times, and there were 72 concubines in the Six Courts of Sangong. Do you all know that the 72 concubines married 72 wives and aunts..."

"So many mothers-in-law, are you done?" Someone interrupted immediately, his words were full of envy.

"This is what I'm going to talk about next. One day, the emperor wandered around the palace and found 72 aunts and aunts, all of whom were sad and listless. The emperor was very anxious, and hurriedly asked the doctor in the palace to treat them. The doctor found The reason, so a prescription was issued, with a few large characters 'Ten Articles of a Strong Man' written on it. Although the emperor didn't know what was going on with the prescription, he still asked his subordinates to follow it..."

Hearing this, Wang Manyin already knew what was going to happen next.In later generations, he had seen this joke about "medicine dregs".

But for others, what Shang Zhimin said is very novel and interesting, especially in line with the unspeakable things in the hearts of men.

It's okay to have fun while suffering, but if you don't get it, you can always think about it.

Otherwise, how could there be so many sour songs in Xintianyou on the Loess Plateau.Some words are so bold that they cannot be written in words at all.

Hearing "this is the medicine dregs of 72 mothers and aunts", a group of people burst into laughter, even Liu Xiangyang and other educated youths were no exception, urging each other to tell another one.

Strictly speaking, this joke is a bit out of date.

Wang Manyin became more and more worried about the other party, unable to control his own mouth, sooner or later society would teach him how to behave.

But he didn't remind, just squatted on the periphery and listened quietly.

At this time, Liu Xiangyang saw him and said excitedly: "Brother Wang, I finally found the source of the fish in the Dongla River!?"

What?
Wang Manyin was taken aback: Could this person be a roundworm in his stomach? He was still thinking about it in the morning, but the other party found it in the afternoon?How can it be!

Wang Manyin didn't show his face, and asked calmly: "Oh, where did you come from?"

The rest of the people were also attracted by this topic, and they all pricked up their ears, waiting for their opinions.

"Wuding River," Liu Xiangyang said with certainty.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Everyone has guessed before that the fish must have swum up from the Wuding River." Shang Zhimin said extremely speechless.

"No, no, it's different this time. I have solid evidence. A classmate of mine jumped in line by the Wuding River. I received a letter from him today, which mentioned one thing. Not long ago, they had a spring news there, and some Many fish ponds were flooded. Countless fish escaped, my classmates and the others caught fish by the river every day, and they vomited!!"

"I said, I didn't see fish in previous years, so why are there so many this year?"

"If only we were by the river,"

"You educated youths are smart, you know everything hundreds of miles away..."

After listening to the rest, they all praised.

They simply can't imagine what it means to eat fish until they vomit.

Wang Manyin didn't know what to say at all, so he could only silently praise "good teammate" in his heart.The evidence was all presented in person, so of course I nodded in agreement.

Work started in the afternoon, and everyone was still full of energy.

Seeing the earth dam being built from scratch, Wang Manyin felt somewhat proud.According to Xie Gong's estimate, the project can definitely be completed before the wheat harvest.

If all goes well, the members of the second team will be able to eat new rice smoothly during the autumn harvest.

Smear home, orchid has started cooking.

After Wang Manyin washed his face, the rice bowl was brought to him.There are two poached eggs lying in it, a layer of sesame oil dripped on top, and some chopped green onions sprinkled on it, the fragrance is tangy.

"Where's yours?" He didn't move his chopsticks immediately, but turned to look at his mother-in-law.

"What you are doing is physical work and needs to be supplemented with nutrition." Lan Hua explained.

Wang Manyin didn't listen, and directly picked one up with chopsticks and put it in the opponent's bowl, then took a black nest, and snorted and drank mixed noodles.

After working for half a day and eating two large bowls of noodles, Wang Manyin regained his physical strength.

After the two had a little activity on the sidelines to digest food, they read and studied under the kerosene lamp as usual without interfering with each other.

After lying down on the kang, Wang Manyin began to think about how to deal with the space food.

At this moment, Lan Hua moved her head closer and leaned against his arm: "Man Yin..."

"Well," Wang Manyin nodded and continued to think.

Immediately, stunned.

This woman is crazy, why is she so active recently?

As soon as he got on the kang, he took the initiative to hug himself with both hands, the meaning was very obvious.

But at this time, Wang Manyin, as a man, naturally wouldn't give in.

As Xintianyou sang:

He hugged his slender waist like an old goat loving a lamb.

He raised his footsteps and held his breath, and put the steamed bun on his chest to calm the dog down.

The white-faced sparrow has long wings, and your mouth is more delicious than meat.

The white cloth shirt is open...

late at night.

"Lanhua, what's the matter with you recently?" Wang Manyin asked her mother-in-law with her arms around her, puzzled.

In the afternoon, I just listened to Shang Zhimin's story about the dregs of medicine, and I did it myself in the evening.

"Man Yin, we've been married for almost half a year, and I haven't been pregnant yet. I'll go back to my mother's house in the afternoon to deliver food, and my mother told us to go to the hospital for a checkup." Lan Hua said a little nervously.

"Auntie silly, didn't I tell you last time, the child's affairs can't be rushed, and it will come naturally." Wang Manyin slapped her face speechlessly.

No wonder I have been so active these days, I was still thinking about my child.

In fact, the two had been married for less than five months, and Wang Manyin was not in a hurry at all.

But orchids are different... Rural women and aunts in this era will be suspected of not having children if they do not have children within a year of marriage.

It makes them speak in front of people, and their voices must be lowered by three points.

Knowing that there was always a shadow in Lanhua's heart, Wang Manyin had no choice but to promise: "In a while, when the earth dam in the village is completed, let's take time to go to the county town for an inspection."

In his opinion, the inspection is secondary, just treat it as a wedding tour.

From getting married to now, Lanhua has never been to Yuanxi County except for going to Shigejie Commune for a few fairs.If there is a chance, I will add the wedding photo by the way.

Years ago, I was too anxious to get married, and all aspects were relatively simple. It has always been Wang Manyin's regret not to have a wedding photo.
