Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 189
"At the end of the relationship, we didn't lose a penny, so you can discuss with me a hammer." Liu Xiangyang was completely speechless.

Fortunately, when I first heard that there was 240 yuan, I was so excited.

Only now do I know that it was pure excitement.This money can be seen but not touched, and it has been clearly arranged long ago.

Immediately, he changed his mind again: Leaving aside the money withheld by the commune, the production team can make up their own minds about the 90 yuan.Even if it is secretly distributed to individuals, the higher-ups probably won't know about it.

"Captain Wang, I don't think there is any need to solve the housing problem. The cave dwelling we live in is pretty good. Let's send the money to someone."

"What's the matter? You live in the brigade's cave dwelling, which is not owned by the educated youth. According to the commune, you need to use the money to dig a few holes. When you go to the construction site to deliver food these two days, discuss it with other educated youths. Where to dig the cave... As long as the place is suitable, I will find someone to dig it immediately, and try to let you live in the new cave before the end of the year." Wang Lianshun said.

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang's face became a little depressed: "Dig the cave, if we dig the cave, we will really take root in the jar village and never go back."

The rest of the people couldn't take it.Some things are beyond their control.

And from the bottom of my heart, the second team of Guanzi Village does not welcome the educated youth.

The commune meeting made it very clear that the educated youths had no rations when they first arrived, so they needed subsidies from above.

This year is different, and rations need to be distributed to these people.The production teams were already short of food, but now there are ten more mouths, and the result can be imagined.

Moreover, the commune also emphasized that in order to feed the educated youths, special care was needed to distribute the food, and each person was given a ration of one and a half people.

Members "is it enough, three hundred and six", unlike the educated youths, they must have enough 45 catties a month, that is 540 catties.

If this is the case alone, Wang Lianshun can bear it.The key point is that many educated youths are usually lazy, and they like to work or not. With this attitude, let alone getting full jobs, even if they get an 8, they think it is too much.

More importantly, they don't go to work for ten and a half months at every turn.

Especially that Shang Zhimin, who often went to visit the educated youth spots in other villages without saying hello.

Fearing that something would happen to the other party, he would come to check on him from time to time.

As far as this is concerned, the performance of the educated youths in Guanzi Village is already considered acceptable, and some villages are even more outrageous.Take the last dog beating incident as an example, it almost killed someone.

There are also educated youths who wander around ten miles and eight villages every day, stealing chickens and dogs while others are not paying attention, causing headaches for many farmers.

Discuss good things, and everyone disperses.

As soon as Wang Manyin walked a certain distance, he was overtaken by Liu Xiangyang.

"Brother Wang, do you think we can really go back?"

In the past, the educated youths only lived temporarily in Guanzi Village, but now they are paid to settle down, and even the house has been arranged.

"I'm sure you can go back. Didn't you almost become a coal miner? If you think about it carefully, you will know that there have always been educated youths who have left the countryside through various channels." Wang Manyin smiled and comforted.

He found out at the meeting that when this kid suddenly heard the news of building a cave dwelling, he would definitely be thinking wildly.

But if you calm down and think about it, you will know that the mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles. How can parents be willing to let their children suffer in the countryside.Definitely will take them away if given the chance.

"That's right, I'm a bit of a dead end. It's always a good thing to be able to drill a few new kilns."

Just a few words made Liu Xiangyang feel much better.

That's right, although I stayed in the village most of the time, I also kept in touch with other educated youths, and I often heard that XX had left.

***
From the time the winter wheat was planted until now, Wang Lianshun has been leading the commune members to plan potatoes and sweet potatoes.Although it was dry this year, the fields in Sichuan have been watered once, so the harvest is not bad.

Especially sweet potatoes, which can produce more than 2000 catties per mu.Converted into grain, it is about four hundred catties.

This output is not low...Of course, it is limited to Sichuan.

In the unwatered fields on Taiyuan Mountain, many sweet potatoes are not as thick as a thumb.Once you poke your head and dig down, almost all of them are old roots, and it is considered good if you can harvest three or four hundred catties per mu.

When the sweet potatoes are dug out, the big ones must be picked out immediately, and the mothers and aunts in the village will rub them into dried sweet potatoes and dry them, and then hand them over to the public grain.

After handing over the dried sweet potatoes, the task of the second team of Guanzi Village this year will be considered complete.

The next step is to actually distribute the food to each family.Generally, five catties of fresh sweet potatoes are equivalent to one catty of grain, and six catties of potatoes are equivalent to one catty of grain.

In fact, the commune members like to share potatoes and sweet potatoes.They are much tastier than sorghum noodles.

Especially sweet potatoes, this thing has a good taste, can be roasted, steamed or boiled, and it tastes sweet and gluten-like, it is the favorite of adults and children.

But you can't eat too much, otherwise you will have a stomachache and vomit acid water.

The second team of Guanzi Village went out to work on the river, and the educated youth went to No. 30 with their members.A few days ago, more than a dozen people went to the county to do side jobs.

Now there are less than [-] male laborers left in the village, so the hands of the workers seem a little nervous.And the remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes must be dug out as soon as possible, otherwise they will all be destroyed in the big freeze, and the pigs will not eat them at that time.

As a left-behind person in the village, Wang Manyin was naturally embarrassed to be idle, and followed the laborers to plan sweet potatoes with nails and rakes.He was always willing to work hard, so he quickly took off his padded jacket and continued to work in just a sweater.

There are also skills in planing sweet potatoes, so it is necessary to prepare the amount in advance.Otherwise, if you rake it down with a nail, you will directly smash the sweet potatoes.This kind of rotten sweet potato cannot be stored for a long time, so it can only be eaten in time or rubbed into dried sweet potato.

On this point, Wang Manyin has a good grasp.

Once the nails are raked down, the large nest of sweet potatoes will be uprooted, and there is no need to dig a second time.Before the others had finished digging, he had already started to turn around.

By the time they got off work at noon, more than 20 people had finally finished digging the sweet potatoes in the entire Sichuan area.

The planing is not complete, and then the production team will arrange people to search again to prevent anyone from missing it.

After that, the land will be released, allowing the members of the team to come in and slip sweet potatoes.

This is also a well-known "welfare".

The sweet potato is a strange thing. It often looks like a very thin rhizome, and there may be a big sweet potato at the end.

If someone is lucky, digging dozens of catties a day is not a problem.

Of course, such a beautiful thing can only happen in Sichuan.As for the sweet potato fields on the Taiwan plateau, few people are willing to look for them.

There were so many sweet potatoes in Wang Manyin's space that he couldn't finish them, so naturally he didn't plan to sneak sweet potatoes.As for some behaviors of other people in the village, he also turned a blind eye.

Having seen the scene of the autumn harvest, Wang Manyin's heart has no waves.

As soon as he arrived at the village, he saw someone standing by the dirt road next to his field from a distance, with a bicycle parked beside it.

Wang Manyin originally thought that someone was waiting to buy things, but when he got closer, he realized that it was Dong Gang.

The other party was not in the county town tossing a bicycle, why did he come to my house suddenly?Wang Manyin suddenly murmured in his heart.

The last time I saw Dong Gang, he was wearing an elegant Chinese tunic suit with a pen in his front pocket, and he looked like a city cadre.It makes people feel high-spirited and majestic.

Now he is unshaven, wearing a ragged jacket and patches on his trousers, similar to an old farmer in the village.

Nine times out of ten, something went wrong.

Dong Gang also happened to see him, and greeted him excitedly: "Man Yin, you are back, I have been waiting for a long time. Fortunately, I asked the children in your village..."

"Brother Dong, are you a rare visitor? Come in and sit down." Although Wang Manyin was full of doubts, he still had a smile on his face.

Welcoming the other party into the cave, he hurriedly poured a cup of boiling water and handed it over: "Brother Dong, my conditions here are limited, it's incomparable with yours, and there is no tea, so let's make do with it."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm freezing, it's just right to drink some hot water. Also, can I have some food first, I haven't eaten since last night..."

"Wait a minute, I'll get you two packs of biscuit mats, and I'll start cooking right away."

Wang Manyin didn't intend to be a snobby.No matter why the other party came to the door, I still had to entertain them thoughtfully.When he was in the county, they didn't treat him badly.

Seeing the biscuit being brought, Dong Gang took it, tore it open and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Thank you so much……"

Immediately, he choked and groaned, and hurriedly drank water.

After a few sips of water, his face returned to normal.

"Brother Dong, slow down, don't choke and you will have a big problem..." Wang Manyin hurriedly persuaded.

Then, he took seven or eight eggs, and soaked two handfuls of ground soft eggs, preparing to make ground soft eggs.It just so happens that there is half a dried rabbit at home, which can be stewed with potatoes.

"Man Yin, brother Dong is in trouble now, and I came here specially to ask you for help..." After eating two packs of biscuits to fill his stomach, Dong Gang took the initiative to explain his purpose.

"Brother Dong, what's the matter? Is it because of the bicycle?" Although Wang Manyin had doubts in his words, he believed in his heart that he had guessed correctly.

"That's right, it's because of a bicycle. I bought a [-]% new Phoenix large chain box from Huangyuan. When I got it back, it was favored by others, but the bid was too low... I was also greedy, so I didn't sell it. The other party knew it. People from the working group came to block my door at night. Fortunately, I was clever. When I heard someone shouting, I lay down in the crack of the door and took a look. Feeling that something was wrong, I immediately jumped over the wall and jumped to the next door to escape, so I didn't let the block. I originally planned to hide in the county for a few days to see what was going on, but that guy didn't pay attention to it, so he took his working team all over the county to look for it."

"I just hid at a buddy's house for two days, and I was approached again. Only people who contacted me found out, and now the working group regards me as a key target. The county can't stay anymore, and I dare not contact other acquaintances..."

really!

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

After all, Dong Gang's business is too enviable.If you think about it, you will know that a car can have a profit of tens of dollars, how can it not attract attention.

When Dong Gang had a drink last time, he revealed that dozens of cars have been sold before and after, which is considered to be the one with a huge amount.

If he hadn't escaped over the wall, life would definitely be difficult now.

Wang Manyin secretly rejoiced that he was not tempted at the beginning, otherwise this guy would be caught, and he would not be well appointed.

But regarding the purpose of Dong Gang's visit... If he wanted to hide in his house, Wang Manyin would definitely refuse.

These days, it is not that simple to take in foreigners.

In order to prevent bad people from fleeing and hiding to cause damage, every village in Shigejie Commune will organize basic militiamen to patrol the night.

At night, they will not only patrol the intersections of the village, but sometimes they will also make surprise checks on the homes of some commune members to see if there are any outsiders staying.

If yes, are they relatives, and which village?All need to be registered.After the destiny, we have to find neighbors to identify them.

If you are a regular customer, the neighbors will be somewhat impressed.

If it is not a relative, but another foreigner staying overnight, the corresponding letter of introduction must be presented.If there is no letter of introduction, it will be a big trouble, and it will be taken directly to the brigade to deal with it.

In addition, if there is anything suspicious in the house of the head of the household, it is difficult to escape the eyes of the night watchmen.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Manyin never put too much food at home.

Of course, ordinary poor and lower-middle peasants seldom check.Wang Manyin has been in this world for almost a year, but has been checked twice.

While the two were talking, Wang Manyin had already fried a large plate of lichen eggs and served them on the table.

After the hare was cut up and put into the pot, he took a bottle of wine.

After Dong Gang poured it, the two waited while drinking.

"Man Yin, I came out in a hurry this time. I even borrowed my clothes. I don't have a penny in my pocket. Can you lend me some after dinner?"

After drinking two glasses of wine, Dong Gang opened his mouth full of expectation.

He was called to open the door in the middle of the night. It was an emergency and there was no time to get food stamps and money.Originally wanted to hide at a good friend's house for a while, but the other party was afraid of getting into trouble, so he urged him to leave openly and secretly.

Coupled with the fact that he had offended that person and people were all over the county looking for him, Dong Gang had no choice but to leave overnight on his bicycle.The buyer of this bicycle had already been negotiated, and it happened to stay at a friend's house, which gave him a means of transportation.

"No problem, Brother Dong, how much do you want?" Wang Manyin answered very simply.

"I guess I'm going to stay outside for a while, first get me three 50 yuan, and if you have food stamps, get some too."

Dong Gang knew that night patrols in rural areas are relatively strict, so he never mentioned accommodation.

"Okay, I'll get it for you now," Wang Manyin said, standing up.

As long as the other party doesn't intend to borrow, money and food stamps, everything is easy to talk about.

As for where Dong Gang was hiding later, he didn't intend to ask.

Cats have catwalks, and dogs have dogwalks.It must have something to do with Dong Gang being able to do business in the county for such a long time.

After drinking a bottle of wine, the hare meat is almost ready to be stewed.

Wang Manyin didn't pay much attention to it, and filled most of the earthen pots by himself.

After eating and drinking, Dong Gang rushed away pushing his bicycle.

Before leaving, he took Wang Manyin's hand and solemnly confessed: "Manyin, I ran too hastily this time, my mother must be worried to death. Brother Dong, I beg you one more thing, if you have time to go I went to the county seat to see how my mother was doing, and told her that I was fine and fine. I buried food stamps and money under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard..."

"Okay," Wang Manyin nodded seriously.

With such a delay, he was a little late for work.

But Wang Lianshun didn't say anything.

Everyone has something to do, and it's nothing to be late once in a while.

When he was about to finish work, he said: "Manyin, Xiangyang came to see me at noon, and said he didn't plan to go to the county town to drive a walking tractor. You can drive the car to Xishan tomorrow, I think he drives very well."

Wang Manyin was not surprised by Liu Xiangyang's refusal.

In the final analysis, the other party still had a clue in his heart, and he was clear about the importance.

The opportunity to leave the countryside is more important than earning money.

As for the Wang Xishan mentioned by Wang Lianshun, he is the second son of accountant Wang Fugui's family.
