Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 190 Laborers are the most beautiful
"By the way, when you leave tomorrow, take a turn around the construction site and deliver some food to the laborers of our team. I have already arranged for people to grind some food from the field in the afternoon." After thinking for a while, Wang Lianshun urged One sentence.

There is no pay for sending people to work on the river, and you need to bring your own dry food.So every now and then, the production team would send some food over there.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that there is no pay. These members do not work for nothing, and work points are recorded every day in the team.As for the food sent, it will be deducted from the 360 ​​catties of rations allocated to them personally.

After listening to Wang Lianshun's explanation, Wang Manyin remembered one thing.When I passed by the wheat field yesterday, I found that there was still a lot of grain piled there, and I had been looking for someone to guard it.

"Uncle Lian Shun, why don't you put the grain in the warehouse, and ask someone to watch it every day. There are a lot of rats and sparrows in the wheat field, and they will be ruined every day. Besides, what if it suddenly rains? "

Although the grain piles are now covered with plastic sheets, they have not been safely stored in the warehouse.

Seeing that the other members were relatively far away, Wang Lianshun lowered his voice and said, "You know what a mess, you have to pay for it when you put it in the warehouse."

Wang Manyin suddenly understood: I think things are simple.

As long as the grain is confiscated into the warehouse of the production team, there is no need to enter the account.

No one can tell how much grain is left in the wheat field until it is cleaned up.How much to withdraw from it during this period is even more confusing.

Similarly, it also involves the issue of selling surplus grain, storing grain and reselling grain.

Wang Lianshun did not dare to distribute more food to everyone, but he could try his best to fill the stomachs of the dispatched laborers.

People are iron rice is steel.

Eat more food, and you will always have strength to work.

So as long as you use your brain, there are still ways.After Wang Lianshun went to Liujiawan, he became more flexible in doing things.

Men and women, old and young, go to battle together, counting nine cold days without stopping work.

If you want to change the world, you have to work hard.

Let the mountains bow their heads and let the rivers make way.Ask the river for land, ask the land for food.

On the hillside on the bank of the original West River, the slogans standing up one after another are very eye-catching, and colorful flags are fluttering in the wind.

When Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang entered the construction site with a walking tractor, they were both shocked by the scene before them.

In the tweeter, the passionate voice continued.

In the cold wind, countless laborers are busy in full swing, including strong men and mothers-in-law.They were wearing thin clothes, steaming from their bodies.

Carrying it on shoulders and hands, pulling it with a shelf cart, pushing it with a wheelbarrow... It's like an ant gnawing on a bone, but in just a few days, it forcibly gnawed a big hole out of the entire original West River.

The river has been cut and straightened, and a thousand-meter-long earth-rock embankment is gradually taking shape, like a majestic dragon, firmly entrenched in the middle of the river, guarding the hundreds of acres of river beach beside it.

According to the plan, there are still several such projects.In the near future, thousands of acres of fertile beach land will be added to the original West River.

Leaving aside other things, Wang Manyin's heart was agitated by this aura of changing the world, and he felt that his previous thinking was too narrow.

This is the most simple and selfless suffering people on the Loess Plateau... Many laborers can't eat a catty of grain a day, and they can only tighten their belts when they are hungry.

There is no modern construction machinery, and the most primitive labor tools are used: shovels, shovels, and rack carts.

At night, they could only sleep in a broken cave dwelling, where dozens of people crowded together.

However, they continue to create miracles on this land.Dig up the hills and build a series of canals.

In any case, these merits cannot be denied.

In fact, many construction projects now benefit countless people decades later.For example, the artificial Milky Way, known as the eighth wonder of the world, was also built in this way.

The words of Mr. Zhao in later generations are quite right: laborers are the most beautiful!

Wang Manyin can understand this feeling: just like every time he passes Dongshan Mao earth dam, he has an indescribable sense of pride.

Under the guidance of the militiamen on the construction site, the two quickly drove to the lot in charge of Guanzi Village.In front of a cave not far away, Wang Shouchang was busy by the cauldron.

This time, the river worker was sent out, and the other party was responsible for cooking for the No. 30 laborers of the second team.

After unloading the food, Wang Manyin confessed in a low voice: "This time there is plenty of food. Uncle Lian Shun told me before I came here, don't waste money, try to feed everyone as much as possible."

"I know," Wang Shouchang nodded.

He also participated in the matter of using the reserve grain before, so he naturally knew the truth about it.

"There are more than ten catties of sesame seeds in it. If you make sesame salt for everyone, it is more or less a dish." Wang Manyin pointed to the cloth bag next to it.

The so-called sesame salt is to clean and fry the sesame seeds, then add salt to it, and crush it into powder with a stone mortar.

If you feel that the taste is monotonous, you can also add some chili.

Now that the construction site is short of oil and vegetables, sesame salt is a good seasoning.

Declining Wang Shouchang's meal, Wang Manyin drove the walking tractor straight to the direction of the county.

Liu Xiangyang stayed on the construction site temporarily, planning to discuss with other educated youths about digging cave dwellings at noon.

After meeting Hu Yongzhou again, Wang Manyin handed over the tractor to Wang Xishan.Immediately, he took out his bicycle from the compartment and rode away.

Wang Manyin had promised Dong Gang before that he would go to the county to visit the old lady, so naturally he would not break his promise.

As expected, when he appeared outside Dong Gang's house, he immediately noticed several eyes secretly watching him.

Wang Manyin pretended not to know, and pushed the bicycle swaggering past.

Walking to the corner at the end of the alley, I saw a few children squatting on the side of the road to catch stones and play.

He had some impression of one of the broken babies with a runny nose, it should be the neighbor of Dong Gang's family.When I was a guest last time, I met the little guy once, who seemed to be called "Zhijun" or something.

Wang Manyin immediately stopped the car and shouted at the other party: "Is your name Zhijun? Uncle asked you something."

Two minutes later, the little guy put a dime in his pocket and happily walked towards Dong Gang's house.

As for Wang Manyin, he turned around and pushed the car away.

Soon, he turned to another side road.

Soon, an old lady with a sad face was hurrying down the street.

When the other party passed the corner, Wang Manyin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Auntie, you are here, do you still know me?"

"You are... Gangzi's friend Wang Manyin? There is indeed information about our Gangzi." Seeing him, the old lady immediately became excited.

Ever since her son ran away from home, the old lady has been frowning and can't even eat.In recent days, she has asked many acquaintances, but has not received any news.

She thought her son had already been arrested, so she went to the unit to inquire about it.Unexpectedly, the neighbor's child came to the door suddenly just now, saying that someone summoned him.

The old lady didn't know if it was true or not, but she still came here dragging her legs.

"That's right, auntie." Wang Manyin glanced around and nodded.

Seeing that those people did not show up, he lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, Dong Gang asked me to send you a message."

"Is Gangzi okay?" Hearing this, the old lady asked eagerly.

Knowing that the other party was worried about his son, Wang Manyin didn't go around in circles: "Auntie, Dong Gang is fine now, he asked me to tell you, take good care of your health, I have to stay outside for a while before coming back..."

Then, he told Dong Gang about the food stamps and money buried under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard of Dong Gang's house.

After explaining, Wang Manyin didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry by bicycle.

As a result, he hadn't gone far when he heard a shout from behind: "Stop, the cyclists in front stop, don't run!"

Wang Manyin pretended not to hear it, and kept pedaling hard to accelerate.

It was almost noon, and there was no one on the road.He rode at such a fast speed that he left several people far behind in an instant.

But from beginning to end, Wang Manyin did not dare to relax his vigilance,
It wasn't until he got out of the county town, found an empty Tu Gelao, and entered the space with his car, that he was completely relieved.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Wang Manyin himself, and he seemed a little guilty just now.But many things are not as simple as imagined.

After those people stop him, they won't let him go easily, at least half a day will be closed.

So after discovering the chasing soldiers, he immediately decided to take the simplest way to deal with it.

After a short rest, Wang Manyin began to prepare for lunch.I haven't eaten fish for a few days, so I just caught a carp and stewed it.

As soon as he stepped to the edge of the reeds, he saw a few long black spines eating aquatic plants in the water, which were grass carp fry brought back from Liujiawan in spring.

Hearing the movement on the shore, these guys immediately stirred up the rushing water, turned around and fled towards the deep water area.In an instant, it completely disappeared under the water.

I don't know how many catties those grass carp weigh in the pond outside, but the growth of a few in the space is amazing.After more than half a year, it has already weighed five or six catties.

In order to keep them to hatch fry, Wang Manyin has no plans to eat them for the time being.

He swung his net and was busy on the surface of the water for a while, and soon he brought a carp weighing two catties ashore.After processing, chop into large pieces and put them into a crock pot to stew the soup.

Wang Manyin has gained experience from eating fish now, and he is very proficient in this set of procedures.

Although he kept putting it into the Dongla River, the fish in the pond were still growing steadily.

Now the space is about seven acres in size, and the fish pond alone occupies two acres.Even so, it still looks a bit crowded.

Not long ago, Wang Manyin roughly estimated that there are more than 200 carp weighing more than three catties, and there are also quite a few carp under three catties.

Including other miscellaneous fishes, there are nearly [-] catties of fish in the two-acre pond.

Wang Manyin has been thinking about whether to go to Mijia Town again a year ago.Probably because of the development of infrastructure in various places, the wind seems to have weakened recently.

Taking advantage of the fish stew, he picked another bowl-sized watermelon from the nearby melon patch.

He punched it open, hugged and gnawed.

Now the season of watermelons outside has long passed, but although the melon seedlings in the space are yellowing, they are still not completely dry.There are also a lot of tail melons.

These melons are small in size, but they are already ripe.

Because there is no way to take it out, Wang Manyin can only enjoy it alone every time he comes in.

After eating up a watermelon, he touched his mouth, released the peregrine falcon from the cage, and then wandered around in the space with him.

This guy now knows that land animals in space cannot be caught, they just spread their wings and hover in the air.

Even so, the wild ducks who were looking for food were scared and hid in the depths of the reeds.

After wandering around in a circle for about half an hour, the fish soup just happened to be ready.

A crock pot full of thick soup and fish meat was enough to fill Wang Manyin's stomach, so he didn't plan to cook other meals.

After eating and taking a short rest, he reappeared outside pushing the bicycle.

After picking up Liu Xiangyang, the two rushed home without stopping.

On the way, the other party chatted about building cave dwellings.

Before coming here, Wang Lianshun selected four kiln sites for the educated youths to discuss, three in the village and one outside the village.

Liu Xiangyang deliberately solicited the opinions of other people, and finally chose a cliff near Dongshan Mao in front of the village, about 100 meters away from Wang Manyin's house.The loess layer there is relatively thick, so it is quite suitable for digging cave dwellings.

Moreover, there is a water well not far away, so it will be much easier for educated youths to fetch water in the future.

However, almost all the middle-aged laborers of the second team have been sent out this year. It is estimated that only a few elderly people can be hired to help dig the kiln.

Fortunately, repairing cave dwellings is no more than other things, and it doesn't need to be too fast at all. It is a slow job.

Wang Manyin could guess that for the hundreds of dollars spent by the educated youths digging kilns, Wang Lianshun definitely planned to internalize all of them into work points.

So let Liu Xiangyang and others do their calculations, and there will definitely be nothing left in the end.

But for these things, he didn't intend to get involved.

In the next period of time, just live your own little life.Now there are only sporadic potatoes left in the field, and most of the time the mothers and aunts in the village are doing foreign labor.

Fortunately, all the potatoes were taken back to the village before the freezing.

Next, by the way, Wang Lian notified each family to start sharing potatoes and sweet potatoes.These two kinds of grains contain a lot of water, and if they are piled together for too long, they will easily break down, so they need to be distributed to various households for storage as soon as possible.

Each person is temporarily divided into [-] catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes. If converted into grain, there can be [-] to [-] catties.

Of course, this time there is also food for the educated youths.However, their caves have not been dug yet, so they can only be temporarily stored in the production team's warehouse.

Wang Manyin and Lan Hua also shared a large pile of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The past two days have nothing to do, he followed the example of other people in the village, and wiped most of the sweet potatoes early, and spread most of the roof of his house on the edge of the cliff.

Although there are hundreds of catties of dried sweet potatoes stored in the space, Wang Manyin still has no intention of being lazy.

In a word, he will do what other people do, and never specialize.

Having said that, drying sweet potatoes is also a cumbersome job.

It needs to be opened in the morning and collected before dark.At ordinary times, you should also pay attention to guarding by the side to prevent birds and mice from stealing food.

However, Wang Manyin is not afraid.

There are two cats staying at home, no matter mice or birds, as long as they appear around, they will be stared at soon.

Also, he releases peregrines from time to time.

In addition to rubbing into dried sweet potatoes, there are still a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes left, which also need to be processed.

There are generally two ways to store sweet potatoes in the Loess Plateau in winter.The first is to pile them up directly in your own earth cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling is warm in winter and cool in summer, especially after the kang is burned, it can reach more than ten degrees at night, which is good for storing sweet potatoes.

But it is precisely because the temperature is too high, and the water vapor in the cave is too large, it is easy for sweet potatoes to rot and germinate.

So this year Wang Manyin does not intend to be lazy and save trouble, and directly stores it in the cave, but prepares to store it in a cellar.
