Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 159 Manuscripts

Keshan disease and big bone disease are typical endemic diseases in the Loess Plateau, which are said to be related to selenium deficiency.Among them, Keshan disease belongs to heart disease. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in this era. If the treatment is not timely, sudden death is easy to occur.

Shigejie Commune is better, and there are not many sick people.In some places, it is very scary. In the words of the medical staff, "One winter, a Keshan disease will destroy the lives of people in a village!"

Wang Manyin learned from his memory that in the early years, there were more than 700 people in a certain village on the Loess Plateau, and more than 300 people died of illness in Dekeshan.

However, the symptoms of large bone disease are mild, and the main problem lies in the bones and joints.This kind of disease should not be allowed to stay in a humid place for a long time, otherwise it will become more and more serious.

So Wang Fu Changming knew that watering was easy, and he didn't want to continue doing it.

"Row……"

Knowing that he was really thinking about himself, Wang Manyin immediately nodded and agreed.

For him, this job is very suitable.

Usually, once the water pump is turned on, there is basically no need to worry about it, just add oil and water to the walking tractor every once in a while.

More importantly, the Dongshanmao rice fields are not adjacent to other plots. Even if I am really lazy, other laborers will not be able to see it.

As for Liu Xiangyang... Based on the relationship between the two, the other party will definitely not say anything.

However, Wang Manyin did not intend to let himself go completely.After all, these ten acres of rice fields are related to the hope of the second team. Everyone has worked hard for more than two months, and now it is in his hands, of course it will be well managed.

Leaving from Wang Lianshun's house, Wang Manyin walked to a firewood barrier on the side of the road and stopped subconsciously.

Under Zhao Jianhai's strong request, the two public toilets in Guanzi Village were built in just one day.

The shape is very simple, and it doesn't take much effort.Just find an open space to dig a large pond, pile stones on the edge to make a pit, and then build a circle of corn stalks around it as a wall.

Speaking of it, no matter what Zhao Jianhai's starting point is, he has done a good deed for the village after all, which is worthy of recognition.

After the visit was over, Wang Manyin turned the road and walked towards Dongshanmao after draining the water inside.

A hundred meters away from the paddy field, I heard the continuous calls of frogs.In the distance, a few water birds were seen flying across the sky.

In just one month, the rice seedlings in the field have grown to a height of [-] centimeters.The sight is lush and neat, and it looks very gratifying.

In a daze, Wang Manyin thought he had come to Jiangnan Water Town.

For this paddy field, he wanted to secretly pour some space spring water into it several times.But after careful consideration, he still didn't make a move in the end.

Everything should have a process. Rice planting is considered a new thing during the Shige Festival. It is best to wait until the autumn harvest to see the situation.

The output in the first year is too high, and I am afraid it will not end well in the future. It is better to be steady and steady, after all, I have no intention of launching a satellite.

What's more, with the biological fertilizer prepared by my brother-in-law, this year's harvest should be good.

Wang Manyin was thinking about something, when he suddenly heard exclamation from the rice field.After following the sound, he found that some children were on a field ridge, and he didn't know what they were busy with.

Now that the people in the village have just started work, these guys have already finished school.It is estimated that he did not return home, so he went straight to the rice field.

"Damn, what are you doing? Don't step on the fields!" Wang Manyin shouted from the side.

Hearing the sound, a group of broken babies got up one after another.

Mao Dan replied more excitedly: "Uncle Man Yin, we are fishing for loach, there are many in the rice fields..."

Wang Manyin came closer and noticed that each of these guys was holding a wooden stick in their hands.The other end of the wooden stick is tied with cotton thread, and there is a fishhook made of embroidery needles hanging from the bottom.

Earthworms are used as bait, and half-finger-long sorghum stalks are used as floats.

Not to mention, the harvest of a few broken babies is not small.

At this moment, he has already caught three loaches and a small crucian carp.

Thanks to the abundant water source and the vigorous growth of various weeds on the ridges beside the ditch, it also provides sufficient food for various small fish.

Especially loach eel, naturally likes to drill holes and make holes, which is more suitable for the rice field environment.Wang Manyin roughly estimated that there could be at least [-] to [-] catties of fish in more than ten acres of fields.

This is still the result of his deliberate control, and he didn't release too much at one time.Instead, use a gradual approach, many times a small amount.

But at this moment, seeing the broken children catching fish, Wang Manyin thought of one of the benefits of managing the rice fields: it would be very reasonable to go home to fetch fish by himself in the future.

When you come over tomorrow, you can try it with a net bag, and stop a water outlet at will, and I believe you can catch a few.

After exhorting a few broken babies, he walked towards the earth dam.

There was no sign of Liu Xiangyang nearby, so he was probably resting in the thatched shed at the moment.

Entering it, Wang Manyin really saw the other party lying on the kang, holding a notebook in his hand and reading it with gusto.

Feeling that the door was dark, Liu Xiangyang raised his head and hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Wang, why are you here, you didn't go to work this afternoon?"

"Your sister-in-law is going to the supply and marketing cooperative to learn tailoring. I'm the only one at home. I have to cook at noon, and I have to ask the consignment to sell things. I can't catch up with work. So the team arranged for me to come over to replace Uncle Fu and be your partner. .”

"That's great. I can't chat with Uncle Fu. I'm bored."

Of course, Liu Xiangyang welcomed Wang Manyin's arrival.He has always felt that chatting with each other can learn a lot.

Wang Manyin pointed to the notebook and asked curiously: "What are you looking at? So devoted."

"A handwritten novel. I borrowed it from the educated youths of Shichuan Village two days ago. It's very interesting."

While talking, Liu Xiangyang handed over the broken notebook.

Wang Manyin took it and glanced at it, only to see "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" written in large characters on the first page with a pen, and the introduction of the characters and the brief introduction of the story are listed below.

His face suddenly became serious: "Xiangyang, you'd better be careful with these handwritten things, it will be troublesome after all if people see them. You also know what happened to Shang Zhimin."

In this era, there is a shortage of various leisure literature and art books, but people have needs, so many manuscripts of literature are widely circulated. "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" is the most famous one, and its popularity far surpasses the online novels written by the great gods of later generations. It can be said that the red border is everywhere.

The influence is so great that it is simply unimaginable.

Wang Manyin once read the statistics on the Internet, and it has been hand-copied tens of millions of times.

Moreover, in the process of hand-copying and circulating, many people spontaneously re-created and adapted into various versions, making the storyline more and more mysterious.

In addition, there are "The Second Handshake", "The Secret of Room 303", etc., which are also popular all over the country.

However, there are also many people who make mistakes due to copying.

If no one is serious about this kind of thing, then everything will be fine.

To be honest, there must be trouble.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang have a good relationship, and they treat each other like a half brother in their hearts, so naturally they don't want him to stumble.

"I just looked through it a few times when I was bored, and returned it immediately when I was done." Liu Xiangyang said awkwardly.He knew what was good and what was bad, and he didn't have any resentment in his heart.

"In short, you'd better not show it to others, and don't copy it yourself. It's better to return it as soon as possible."

"Well, I know. Brother Wang, don't worry, I'm almost finished reading it, and I will show it to others tomorrow..."

Liu Xiangyang nodded again.

Seeing that he really listened, Wang Manyin didn't continue to pay attention, but instead asked about the watering situation.

Only then did they realize that not only were the two of them responsible for the ten acres of paddy fields in Dongshanmao, but they also had to irrigate the sorghum seedlings in the nearby ditch from time to time.

According to Xie Gong, the check dam is a long-term project, and should be mainly small clusters, combining large, medium and small to form a certain step difference.

Therefore, when the other party planned, they specially reserved an area in the cliff ditch in front of the rice field to facilitate the second phase of the project.

After it rained a few days ago, Wang Lianshun saw that the moisture in the land was good, so he led people to scattered a lot of sorghum seeds.In his words, watch the sky or not.

But if there is water, it needs to be watered every once in a while.

***
In the next few days, Wang Manyin's life became very regular.

When he got up in the morning, he waited at the consignment point to greet customers, while Lan Hua lit a fire and cooked.

As the weather got hotter and there was a heavy rain a few days ago, there were more and more scorpions in and outside the village.Especially at night, many insects have phototaxis, which will attract scorpions to keep appearing outside the cave for food, and it is very easy to catch them.

Because of this, there has been an endless stream of children from the three villages who have come to sell scorpions recently.

These guys are afraid that the scorpion will die if it is left for too long, so they often come to sell it early in the morning.

They didn't catch many, usually around ten or twenty.It's just too troublesome to count them one by one, and Wang Manyin can't even eat breakfast.

As for the orchids, after eating, I hurriedly followed my brother to the supply and marketing cooperative, so I couldn't get involved in the family work.

Before, Sun Shaoan lived in the dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative most of the time. Since his sister learned tailoring, he served as an escort and returned to live in Shuangshui Village every night.

In fact, Wang Manyin thought about getting Lanhua a bicycle, which would be convenient for traveling back and forth.The key point is that Wang Mandun, the village party secretary, didn't even buy it, so it's really hard for him to show up.

But this day should not be far away... When Wang Manyin went to deliver goods last time, Guo Chaowang mentioned that the county recently purchased 300 bicycles from other places, and they will be distributed to the supply and marketing cooperatives below.

These bicycles must be close to the commune staff and the village party secretary.As long as someone starts, other village party chiefs should follow suit.

At that time, I can find a chance to get a ticket and buy one in the name of my brother-in-law.

Wang Manyin was busy with this wave, and basically had nothing to do during the day.The things to do after work are very simple. It is nothing more than patrolling the fields with a shovel and checking the situation everywhere.

See where the ditch is blocked and needs to be dug in time.Otherwise, some ridges were trampled down, and some iron shovels were added to the soil.

In addition, it is pumped irrigation.

Of course, Wang Manyin is not completely idle.When it was cool, he would drag Liu Xiangyang to dig a ditch, preparing to go straight to the sorghum field beside the field.

Now that he has accepted the task, Wang Manyin certainly wants to do it well.

Digging a ditch is not a difficult task, I have done a lot in the space.

There is no one to supervise, and the two of them are half playing and half doing things, and they don't feel tired.When the weather is hot, I call it a day and go back to the hut to stay.
