Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 177

Knowing that her husband would arrange Rhubarb well, Lan Hua was completely relieved.

At this moment, the two were lying on the kang.

With her head pressed against the man's arm, she murmured, "Man Yin, there is a salesperson in the supply and marketing agency who seems to have taken a fancy to Shao An, did you find someone to ask me today if he is engaged?"

"Which one?" Wang Manyin asked casually, grabbing Auntie's little hand and pressing down.Before getting married, Lanhua worked in the mountains for many years, and her hands were particularly rough.

After being married for half a year, I basically didn't do much farm work, and now my hands have become more and more delicate, without even a callus.

"I'm talking to you, don't think about it..."

Sensing her husband thinking about it, Lan Hua hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Just the girl named Gao Linmei, with big eyes and fair appearance, I think she is a good match for our Shao'an."

The Shigejie Supply and Marketing Cooperative is not too big, with a total of seven or eight salespeople in the sales department.

Hearing what my mother-in-law said, Wang Manyin immediately had an impression.The other party is indeed good-looking, probably because he has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, his skin is quite fair, and he should be regarded as a flower of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Now when the boys from ten miles and eight villages go to the market, they like to hang out in the sales department and chat with Gao Linmei in the name of shopping, even many male educated youths are no exception.

There are probably a lot of people chasing after her. This girl has high eyesight now, and she likes to put on airs if she has nothing to do.Before, Wang Manyin heard Liu Qingli mention it.

This guy has been chasing him for a long time, but people didn't look at him at all.

Helpless, Liu Qingli could only retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Unexpectedly, this girl fell in love with Shaoan.

It's right to think about it, because of the promotion of bacterial fertilizer, Shao'an should now be called a man of the moment in the supply and marketing cooperative.In addition, my brother-in-law is not bad-looking, tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which fits the aesthetics of people in this era.

"Tell me, how are he and Runye doing now? Runye is working in the city now and can only come back every half a month... I think this Gao Linmei is pretty good."

Seeing her mother-in-law worrying about gains and losses, Wang Manyin couldn't help but confess: "Don't worry about this matter, and don't promise anything indiscriminately. It mainly depends on what Shaoan thinks."

He had to vaccinate his mother-in-law and aunt, and he could advise on some things, and stay away from others.Especially other people's emotional problems, you must not get too involved.

Many women in later generations can't figure this out after they get married, and usually like to point fingers at their natal family's affairs.It's a beautiful name, for the good of the family... There are not a few people who make troubles in the natal family.

"I know, let's talk in private,"

Although Lan Hua said some trivial things, Wang Manyin was not impatient at all.

This is also the daily communication method between the two... They haven't seen each other for a day, so before going to bed at night, it's good to lie on the kang and chat, and by the way, promote the relationship between husband and wife.

Plainness is a blessing.

When he came to this world, Wang Manyin did not intend to live a vigorous life.As long as the family is healthy and healthy, it will be fine.

Silent all night.

After breakfast and sending the orchids away, Wang Manyin took the rhubarb and walked towards the mountain.

He had already greeted Wang Lianshun yesterday, and he didn't need to ask for leave today.

Entering the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the weather on the Loess Plateau is no longer so hot.

However, in the river valley of Taiyuan, it looks more and more colorful.

Clusters of sorghum stalks are glowing red; large areas of millet have heavy heads hanging down; cotton fields are filled with snow and white; on the edge of the cliff, those red jujubes are also dancing with the wind...

In the distance, a hoarse Xintianyou came from the opposite mountain ridge:
Blooming on the edge of the cliff, red on the edge of the cliff,
The afflicted look forward to the good times.

Make bowls and flowers bloom on the spot,

I turn your white face around...

Autumn is the harvest season, and it is also the time that the suffering people look forward to the most.

It means that at least for the next few months, they will no longer worry about food.

Wang Manyin took rhubarb and walked more than ten miles in one breath.

The surrounding area became more and more desolate, except for the sparse weeds and bushes, there was no human voice to be heard.After climbing over two more mountain ridges, it is considered that you have really entered the mountain.

There are still many families living there, living a truly isolated life.

In fact, there is no shortage of fields on the Loess Plateau, and crops can be grown in any valley.

If all the mountain plateaus near Guanzi Village are built into terraces, at least a thousand acres of land can be added to the village.

The key is the lack of manpower and machinery, and there is no way to develop these lands.In addition, the most important problem is drought.

So it's not that people don't want to open up more wasteland, but that they have enough energy to spare.

Take the second team as an example. Now they have nearly [-] mu of land, but they only planted extensively and harvested little.

Looking around, Wang Manyin released the peregrine falcon directly.

The guy was free, flapped his wings and circled the mountain ridge for a week, screaming and rushing to the sky.

As for rhubarb, he kept sniffing among the weeds and bushes.

Soon, a pheasant was startled and flew up.

Usually, in such a situation, Rhubarb could only sigh in awe.

Today was different. Just as the prey flew tens of meters away, a black lightning suddenly fell from the sky.

With several shrill screams, the pheasant fell into the grass in front of it.

When Wang Manyin arrived, chicken feathers were scattered all over the place, and the peregrine falcon had already pecked the prey's head to pieces.

After collecting the prey, he continued to search for the rhubarb in the river ditch.

Soon, another hare ran wildly...

As expected by Wang Manyin, a dog and a falcon cooperated quite tacitly for the first time.

In more than an hour, two hares and a pheasant were accounted for.

Taking the peregrine back, he re-entered the space, and first picked a big watermelon from the field to quench his thirst.

Then, he cleaned up the two hares neatly.One is stewed, and the other is soaked in salt to dry, and I plan to take it home to eat in the afternoon.

Speaking of which, Wang Manyin's family really didn't lose much flesh this year.From the beginning of spring to the present, no less than twenty pheasants and rabbits have been eaten.

Every now and then, I would catch some fish from the space and take them outside.

It's a pity that such a good day will come to an end temporarily, without rhubarb, Wang Manyin is a little worried about how to bring home the prey in the future.

He added two handfuls of hardwood to the pot and let the rabbit meat squat in the jar.

Next, Wang Manyin picked up the picket and started digging potatoes in the yellow soil of the space.

In less than two cents of land, several large piles were dug, about three or four hundred catties.The potatoes outside have not been harvested yet, so there is no way to take them out for the time being, so they can only be kept in the space.

It was not until the sun was westward that Wang Manyin returned home with a bundle of firewood on his back, and he also dug up a lot of polygala roots.

It's just that without the company of rhubarb, he seems a little alone.

From today onwards, this guy can only stay in the space temporarily.

Without rhubarb, Wang Manyin felt a little uncomfortable, and even Lanhua felt that there was something missing in the family.

There was no other way. Not only did he quickly dispose of the dog, but other families in the village also sent it to relatives in other communes.

Some sent their dogs directly to Shichuan Village on the other side, which was under the management of the Tucheng Commune, and there was no plan to beat the dogs for the time being.

In just ten days, more than half of the native dogs raised in the jar village have been reduced.

Of course, there are still people who are lucky and continue to keep their dogs at home.

When the ten days were up, the dog-fighting team was dispatched.

One by one, the men held wooden sticks and pulled the frame carts, and rushed to the villages in a mighty manner.

Everywhere they go, they will first send people to guard the intersections of the village.Then a group of three or five went into each house to investigate, trying to ensure that no dead ends were left.

In the village, people were crying and dogs were howling.

After a village is beaten, it can often pull half a carload of dead dogs.

In just two days, not to mention seeing dogs in various villages, it was difficult to find even a dog hair.

***
Before I knew it, it was already August and a half.

After eating moon cakes, it is time for the autumn harvest.

Wang Manyin bought [-] or [-] mooncakes from the commune on purpose, and mainly sold them to the educated youths in the three villages.

The mooncakes sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives are very solid. One can be as big as the mouth of a tea bowl and about two fingers thick.Buckwheat cornmeal is used, and the filling is pure five kernels, which contain walnut kernels, peanuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, sesame seeds, and red dates.

The skin of the moon cake is delicate and smooth, the color is burnt yellow, and the words with the characteristics of the times are printed on it, which looks very festive.

And the weight is also heavy, one can weigh half a catty.

But the price is not cheap, seventy cents a catty, six taels of food stamps.

For many members, they are naturally reluctant to spend this money to sell mooncakes.

Most of them do it by themselves, and the method is very simple.Get some white corn flour and knead it into a cake, press a few patterns on it, and bake it in a pan.

If the conditions are good, put some sugar in it.

This is oil cake at all, but for the broken children in the village, it is considered a rare delicacy.

Of course Wang Manyin's family can't make it themselves, but it's just a few mooncakes, which the couple can still afford.

In the first year of their marriage, the other two had to deliver mooncakes to the old man's house according to the number of routes.

Wang Manyin's idea was simple, two catties of mooncakes plus two packs of sugar, no one could pick a gift.

Speaking of which, his son-in-law is really good enough.Now he has become the representative of a good son-in-law in ten miles and eight villages, and anyone who mentions it will give a thumbs up.

Even because of Wang Manyin, the status of the old father-in-law's family in Shuangshui Village has also risen, and many people treat them differently.

In the eyes of the people of Shuangshui Village, although Wang Manyin only opened a consignment store, he could get along with the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.I didn't see that even Shao'an got a job in a supply and marketing cooperative.

That's patience!
The sudden change of identity made Sun Yuhou feel particularly uncomfortable.

But in his heart, he was also very happy.

Fortunately, the marriage of the two was not blocked at the beginning, otherwise, my family would definitely not have the current situation.

After breakfast, Wang Manyin was thinking about when to deliver the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the old man.However, Director Zhao was walking towards the village with a few people, even Wang Lianshun and Wang Yanqiang were among them.

After a few people walked in, Wang Manyin hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lian Shun, what are you planning to do? What's the big deal?"

Before Wang Lianshun could respond, Zhao Jianhai asked with a serious face, "Wang Manyin, your family lives at the head of the village. Did you notice any movement last night? Did you see someone sneak out from the village to destroy food production in the fields?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the words "destroying food production", Wang Manyin was also taken aback, and turned to look at Wang Lianshun.

"Last night, the youth protection team heard movement in the field at Nantou. They suspected that someone was stealing corn cobs, so they went there quietly, but they didn't see anyone... This morning, they went to the ground to check and found that the corn stalks were broken. Quite a lot, even corn has been stolen a lot.”

How to say this situation... People are frightened of hunger, and in order to fill their stomachs, some people must be tempted.If caught, the consequences are also very serious, which is a major situation that disrupts food production.

Of course, if they are caught by their own people in the village, they will generally deal with it in a low-key manner, and the things stolen from the Shanghai Stock Exchange will be settled.

Director Zhao had already considered this situation.

In order to prevent people in the village from being swayed by favors, this year he specially proposed to form an educated youth protection team.Educated youths belong to outside households, they have no conflict of interests, and they are not afraid of offending others.

Last night, it was Xu Kongxian who led the team to discover the situation.

"Wang Manyin, have you found out anything? If you find out, you can't hide it, or you'll make a mistake." Seeing that he didn't say a word, Director Zhao immediately asked.

"I found a bug, and now the dog is gone. The couple of us sleep in the cave at night, even if someone destroys it, we won't hear anything," Wang Manyin said angrily.

Now if rhubarb can show its face, take it directly to the plot and smell it, and you will definitely find the culprit.

It's just that he won't do such a thing.

He held the same opinion as Wang Lianshun and others. People from other villages would not dare to come here easily. Nine out of ten people in the village stole the food.Isn’t there a saying now that stealing from the production team is not considered stealing.

"No matter who it is, it must be found out. Don't think that if we leave the corn cobs in the field and only take away the corn kernels, we will not be able to find out. Wait for a door-to-door search, as long as anyone finds that there are corn kernels, they will be caught immediately. Send it to the commune." Officer Zhao seemed filled with righteous indignation.

"Stop talking so much, let's go to the field first." Wang Lianshun said with a worried face.He was afraid that things would get worse, so he hurriedly followed.

"Yes, let's go to the cornfield now and see if we can find any clues," Director Zhao waved his hand and took the lead to walk out of the village.

The rest followed closely behind, even Wang Manyin followed.

The corn field on Chuantou Chuan Road in the village is about four or five mu. Because it was watered once during the drought and dozens of catties of fertilizers were used, it grew very well.Now the leaves are not yet yellow, they are black and green.The corn on the cob is also particularly pleasing and looks heavy.

When everyone entered the field, they realized that the thief was indeed very hated.

The surroundings were in a mess, many corn stalks were broken on the ground, and scattered corn kernels could still be seen around.

Wang Lianshun was so distressed that he couldn't do it, and couldn't help but yelled: "Which donkey is so bold to pick good crops to steal. Even if you steal, you should clean up the land anyway, what a waste!"

Hearing this, Director Zhao immediately frowned and said, "Second Captain, what do you mean, are you complaining for the thief?"

"No, I think this thief is too hateful. If you catch him, you must slap him in the face."

"I found it, I found the den of thieves! There are still a lot of corn kernels there, go and have a look!" Before Wang Lianshun finished speaking, Wang Qingming ran over panting.

"Where is it?" Hearing this, Director Zhao immediately became excited.

Den of Thieves? !
Wang Manyin was a little confused, how could such a stupid thief have not escaped yet?
