Chapter 23

In the dream, Wang Manyin was talking with Lan Hua in his arms, and he was about to proceed to a critical step.

Suddenly the orchid turned into rhubarb, barking.

After that, I heard a voice saying "Money, Man, get up, get to work!!"

It's not a dream, is it?He opened his eyes.

The cave dwelling was still pitch black, and it was true that Rhubarb was calling outside, and at the same time, the voice of neighbor Wang Qiusheng could be heard.

"I'll get up right away, brother Qiusheng," Wang Manyin replied, and hurriedly put on his ragged cotton jacket and went out.He looked up at the sky, the waning moon was still in the sky, and the surrounding area was gray.

In the village, there were a few rooster crows from time to time.

If it wasn't for the shivering from the cold, Wang Manyin would have thought he hadn't woken up from a dream.

Seeing the owner, Rhubarb immediately greeted him with cheers and circled around.

"Man Yin, go to work quickly, or you will be deducted work points for being late." Wang Qiusheng shouted.

"Now, it's so early, it's still not light yet?" Wang Manyin asked in surprise, buttoning the padded jacket in a hurry.

The village party secretary had already explained to Wang Lianshun about his joining the Second Production Team.

Yesterday afternoon Wang Lianshun specially came over to remind him to go to work with the production team tomorrow morning.

Wang Manyin was afraid that he would forget about it, so he made a special trip to tell his neighbor Wang Qiusheng to call him when he went to work.

Accepting the memory of his predecessor, Wang Manyin certainly knew that the production team started work early, but there was no need to be so early, right?Now it's pitch black, and you can't even tell the crops and weeds apart in the field, so what can you do even if you go to work?
"It's like this when I go to work in the morning. If I come back to eat after half an hour, it counts as two work points..." Wang Qiu replied naturally.To be honest, I didn't complain, but I was a little numb.

"Okay, I'll lock the door and go together." Wang Manyin didn't know what to say.

After all, he wasn't late on the first day of work.

He locked the cave door and kept rhubarb as housekeeper.Then, they followed Wang Qiusheng to gather at the entrance of the breeding room of the production team.

In the distance, a group of commune members could be vaguely seen squatting on the edge of the cliff, chatting and smoking, scarlet sparks flickering.It is said that most men these days are smoking guns, and there are very few non-smokers like Wang Manyin.

"The full silver is coming,"

"It's really full of silver, this coward really joins our second team?"

"Killing camels after the full moon is a waste. Don't go out and wander around..."

Seeing Wang Manyin's appearance, a group of smoking guns laughed and joked.

Wang Manyin didn't take it seriously, and just responded: "Uncle Lian Shun, Brother Fu Nian, good morning... I won't get married right away, and I will have to support my mother-in-law and aunt in the future. What if I don't earn work points."

"Okay, you son of a bitch is finally on the right path, and you can work hard in the village in the future. Take a couple of puffs..." Wang Lianshun handed over the cigarette pouch.

"Uncle Lian Shun, forget it, I'm not used to smoking." Wang Manyin hurriedly waved his hand.

What are you kidding, you just smoked it, the mouthpiece is full of saliva, let me drool.

Of course, he also knew that he had good intentions.

The two of them squatted down at random, and members of the commune arrived one after another, gasping for air.

Wang Manyin originally thought that the members of the second team were all present, and it was almost time to arrange tasks.

As a result, no one mentioned work, and a group of people leaned against the wall and smoked dry cigarettes.

Wang Lianshun thought it was cold, so he took a few handfuls of wheat straw from the barn as kindling, made a bundle of sorghum stalks, and lit a fire for everyone to roast.

"Man Yin, tell us what you saw while wandering outside. I heard that Yuanxi County now has a farming machine that can plow a hundred acres of land a day. Is it true?" Wang Funian asked curiously.

"Brother Funian, it's a real thing. It's called a tractor, which burns diesel. It's easy to plow a hundred acres of land a day, like the work of our production team, it can be done in two days..."

Regarding the tractor, the predecessor may not know it, but he comes from the later generation, and he is absolutely familiar with it.

In this era, mechanized farming has begun in the Great Northeast Plain.The reason for the high loess is that the terrain is undulating, the fields are fragmented, and it is difficult to use tractors. Few villagers have seen what this kind of machine looks like.

"Man Yin, tell us about the phone call again..."

On the first day of work, Wang Manyin was already prepared to endure hardships.As a result, he got up before dawn and spent all his time talking nonsense with everyone.

The key is that everyone listens with gusto, one question after another.

Even the second team leader, Wang Lianshun, didn't make a sound to stop him, just kept smoking pipes and adding more firewood to the fire.

Soon, Wang Manyin thought about it.

Isn't it just grinding foreign workers?I just acted as a storyteller for everyone.

As long as he is given work points, he will not be bothered by talking nonsense for a day.

After the two bundles of sorghum stalks were burned, Wang Lianshun saw the smoke rising from the top of many people's cave dwellings. Wang Lianshun knocked on the smoke pot, got up and said, "Don't be so begging, let's start the division of labor now. Fu Nian, Qiu Sheng, Man Yin... ...You guys pick up the manure pile, third child, you take a few people to the barn to clean up the scum..."

A few or two sentences, after the work is arranged, all the talents will disperse.

Now in this damn weather, the soil dung has frozen into ice lumps, which need to be planed and smashed with a rake, and spread on the ground to dry.Wait for it to dry, then pull it into the ground.

In fact, this kind of work can wait for the weather to warm up, and the sun will thaw the soil manure and directly pull the soil to fertilize.What they are doing now is purely useless.

But it's still the same sentence: as long as you give work points, you can do whatever you want.

There are so many old-fashioned ways present, who doesn't know that doing this is completely "take off your pants and fart, it's unnecessary".

Why no one raised it?It's nothing more than doing well and doing badly.

Seven or eight people had just picked up half of the dung pile, and Wang Funian threw the rake away again: "I am addicted to cigarettes, so I will smoke a bag of cigarettes first."

As he spoke, he leaned towards the fire.

Soon, other people also took out their cigarette pouches, even the honest man Wang Qiusheng was no exception.

Wang Manyin finally understood why everyone was carrying cigarette pouches. Feelings were a good excuse for doing foreign work.It's not okay to be lazy, but it's always okay to smoke a cigarette.

Well, go with the flow yourself.

When work was over and breakfast was over, dozens of people dug up two manure piles and cleaned up the manure from the barn.

Others had mothers-in-law who cooked meals early, and Wang Manyin lit a fire when he got home.

Because he had to rush to work, he boiled a pot of corn grits, boiled two eggs, and ate it in a hurry.

After eating, I came to the production team. This time there were more people working, and many women at home also came.

Wang Lianshun arranged for hundreds of workers.All the female members went to the warehouse to buckle the corn, and dozens of male members were divided into three groups.

A group of people guarded the dung pile, a group of people drove donkey carts to pull manure, and some people applied manure in the field.

Shaking around, most of the day passed.

Watching the sun go west, Wang Lianshun led everyone back to the village for dinner.

Now during the slack season, many people have two meals a day, and lunch is already equivalent to dinner.

Of course, if conditions permit, I will steam a pot of sweet potatoes at home in the evening, or boil half a pot of radish and vegetable soup to satisfy my hunger.

In the afternoon, Wang Lianshun finally changed the farm work for everyone, hoeing the weeds reserved in the spring field.Now that there are no crops planted in the spring field, is there any use for weeding?
Wang Manyin was extremely speechless, but still followed the crowd.

There is no way, now more work does not necessarily mean more rewards. If you do well and work hard, who would be willing to make fools of yourself!

Some people may think: Let's work together to plant a lot of food in the fields, and then each family can share more.

How is it possible, this is not allowed.

Now there is a saying called "is it enough, three hundred and six".The meaning is very simple. The average farmer can only be allocated a maximum of 360 catties of grain per year, which is capped.

The rest to be supported does not belong to the production team... If more food is distributed in private, it is called "secret production and private distribution".

Not long after Wang Manyin returned home from work, orchids appeared outside the cave.

"Man Yin, I heard that you joined the production team today, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, it's just time. It's just in time. You light the fire, and I'll cook..." Wang Manyin originally planned to have a simple meal at night. Now that the orchids came, he just spread out a few egg pancakes to eat.

After eating and brushing their teeth, the two of them really chatted on the kang... This time it was not a dream.

Facing a beautiful woman with no outsiders around, Wang Manyin couldn't help feeling a little distracted.

"What's wrong, Man Yin?" Sensing that the man beside her was not breathing properly, Sun Lanhua turned her head and asked.

"Hands are cold, warm me up." Wang Manyin replied with a smile, putting it in the padded jacket.

"Well...we're not married yet,"

"My hands are cold, so I warm them up." Wang Manyin had a cheeky smile.

"You're shameless." Sun Lanhua blushed, but she acquiesced.

After coming here a few times, she also knows that men will stick to the bottom line and not go too far.
