Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 413 The Arrival of the New Educated Youth

Han Li went to the river and lowered a few cage nets that he had used to catch snow clams nearby, and then began his day of fishing.

There was a gentle breeze by the river, and Han Li fell asleep after reading a book for a while.

But he was soon awakened by the sound of the loudspeaker in the village. Generally speaking, the horn would only sound for a while on special occasions.

Han Li pricked up his ears and listened. Captain Liang's voice was speaking passionately.

"The crops are like a flower, and they all rely on fertilizer. Farming without manure is like fooling around. We can't live in the crop fields yet, but we can't just idle like this. Now everyone goes to the warehouse to get tools, and it's time to dig holes. When it’s time to dig holes, when it’s time to mow the grass in the mountains, when it’s time to pull the leaves off the trees, we’ll take advantage of these two days to soak in as much green manure as we can.”

When Han Li heard this, he lay down again. He didn't need to guess to know that there was definitely a wailing sound among the educated youth.

Retting green fertilizer is definitely a very important job at this time. The supply of fertilizer at this time is very tight. Each production brigade will allocate certain standard quotas based on the number of villagers and the number of acres of land. The brigade leader will take the quota to the supply and marketing cooperative Buy.

But this is only a drop in the bucket, but if you want to increase food production and income in the fields, you can only use green manure.

Speaking of fertilizers at this time, there is a special scenery, that is, everyone, both big and small cadres, wear urea pants.

However, due to Village Chief Zhao's strong dislike of this situation, no one in Shanghe Village wore such things.

This reason is that since the Prime Minister of Japan visited our country in September 72, the two countries have normalized diplomatic relations.

The two countries signed a series of agreements, including the import of urea produced by Japan.

Urea is easy to use and has high fertility, so it was deeply loved by the production team at the time.

The inner packaging of urea is a transparent plastic bag, and the outside is nylon cloth printed with the Chinese word "urea" and some ghost characters. This kind of cloth is very strong and dyed to make pants that are very durable and easy to wash.

However, ordinary people cannot get this kind of urea bags. Only those government officials, supply and marketing cooperatives, commune cadres, and captains can get them.

In recent years, there have been many, many well-connected people across the country who have taken the opportunity to cheat on urea. It cannot be said that there are no good endings in the end, but only very, very few.
.
Retting green manure means stacking plant leaves, wheat bran, and weeds in a retting pond that has been dug long ago. At the same time, human excrement and livestock manure are mixed in, and a certain proportion of water is added.

People also need to stir them all evenly. As for the stirring process, there are tools to turn it over and feet to step on it.

After stirring evenly, smooth the surface with a shovel, and finally seal all these things with soil and let them ferment slowly inside. After being sealed in a high-temperature environment, the microorganisms in the environment will ferment and deteriorate. When they are used, they are dug out and served. Good fertilizer.

However, this green manure is full of flavor both now and when it was dug out.

The sisters-in-law, aunts, and female educated youths from Shanghe Village were all sent to cut grass and pull leaves. Some of the men went to clean the original cesspit, and some to defecate. In short, everyone was busy on the second day after the rain.

Under such circumstances, Han Li was too embarrassed to go home in broad daylight, so he lay down by the river in the evening.

At this time, Han Li pulled out all the ground cage nets and took a look. Most of them were filled with tench fish.

Even though it is the harvest season for tench, the quantity seems to be too much.

However, this kind of small fish has less bones and more meat. Hao Hongmei and Yang Xiuying once used it to make salted fish for long-term preservation.

Han Li prefers deep-fried boat fish, sprinkled with cumin noodles or chili noodles, which is good as a dish or snack.

The only disadvantage of tench is that it dies if it leaves the water. If there is no ice in such weather, the internal organs need to be cleaned out as soon as possible.

However, this shortcoming is nothing to Han Li. He is a man with golden fingers.

After all the ground cage nets were lifted out, we began to disassemble and clean the internal organs of the tench one by one.

After cleaning, I washed it with river water, then put it in the wicker bag and walked back.

After returning home, the sisters were cooking. When they saw so much fish in Han Li's hand, they immediately added two dishes.

Yun Jingjing's craftsmanship of fried croakers and fish stewed with shredded shepherd's purse was definitely worthy of praise. Han Li ate most of the pot of fried fish by himself.

After eating and drinking, they sat on the kangtou and talked about the situation of fat accumulation in the village today. Hou Yuhua, a pocket-sized girl, came. She looked at Han Li a little embarrassed, and took Yun Yingying to the outer room to whisper. .

After a while, the two of them returned to the back room, and Yun Yingying said with a smile.

"Brother Li, you haven't gone out to walk your dogs today. Why don't you go now? They've been running around in muddy water for the past two days and they're dirty. You can give them a good wash by the river before coming back."

Han Li didn't know what was going on at first, but when he smelled the vague odor on Hou Yuhua's body, he realized that she must have accidentally been contaminated with feces today. Didn't she just borrow the bathroom at home to take a bath? Is there anything to be embarrassed to say?

"Okay, then I'll take them to the river to wash them."

Han Li took the dogs out and strolled to the river.

The riverside is quite lively now. After all the day's work with feces, many young and old men in the village are taking a bath.

A group of naked old men were splashing around in the river. It was inappropriate to lead the dogs there, so Han Li took the dogs far away and turned around.

Under the dim moonlight, Han Li sat by the river and watched the dogs playing in the river.

Thinking about the current season, if I were elsewhere, I would have gone into the woods after dinner to touch the monkeys.

It's a pity that there are no cicada monkeys to catch in Gada. Otherwise, with the lush trees here, many, many more can be caught in one night.Cicada monkey is fried in oil and sprinkled with a little salt. It is much more delicious than fried croaker.

However, Han Li quickly laughed to himself. If it were another place, there wouldn't be so much meat to eat.

Han Li watched the dogs come out of the water after they had finished playing, then turned around and led them back.

After returning home, Hou Yuhua had left, and Yun Yingying explained what had just happened.

It turns out that Hou Yuhua's "little day" is here today. He was afraid of catching a cold if he washed at home, so he came over to borrow the bathroom.
.
The next day, Han Li still got up early to practice boxing.

Today, the village still had to rectify green manure, so they went to work early. The family had breakfast leisurely.

After eating, Han Li kissed the two sisters at the street gate and watched them go to the consignment shop to open the door with red faces.

Everyone went to work today, so Han Li didn't have to go to the river. He took out the tench he reserved yesterday from the decomposition space and went to He Mi's house.

At this time, Village Chief Zhao reluctantly drove the ox cart to the county town to pick up the new educated youth. Why did he drive the ox cart?

Because it was too difficult to walk on the road after it had just rained, if the car got stuck in the mud, it was easier to get out with an ox-cart than a horse-drawn carriage.

Also going to the county seat with Village Chief Zhao was Zhang Xiangjun. He talked for a long time yesterday before getting the Village Chief to agree.

However, Zhang Xiangjun's face is now full of happy expectations. When he occasionally gets stuck in a car on the road, he will immediately jump out and push the car.

Everyone knew that Village Chief Zhao was going to pick up the new educated youth today, but today's Shanghe Village was different from the past. No one said anything about holding a welcome party, and even Sun Yong, the educated youth captain, did not say a word.
.
In the county educated youth office compound, Village Chief Zhao went inside to receive the list of personnel assigned to them this time.

This time Shanghe Village was assigned to five educated youths, three men and two women, one of whom was Yin Lanfen, the one Zhang Xiangjun could not forget.

The two people happily chatted together as soon as they met, completely ignoring the other educated youths.

Village Chief Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of thing. He asked them to put their luggage on the bullock cart and started walking back, and skillfully ignored their requests to take the cart.

By car?It is absolutely impossible to let the newly arrived educated youth ride in the car, even if the oxcart can be squeezed enough to fit them all today.

This is similar to the killing stick used by the ancient assassins and soldiers after they arrived at the station. First, let them, children from the city, know that life here is not easy.

Village Chief Zhao was sitting on the shaft of the cart driving the old scalpers, while Zhang Xiangjun and other new educated youths were walking below.

There were stops and starts along the way, and when the group of them arrived at Shanghe Village, they had just finished work and were walking back.

Except for Yin Lanfen, who was taken care of by Zhang Xiangjun, everyone else was almost like a mud monkey.

Their shoes and trousers were all covered in mud. One of the female educated youths fell on a horse while wearing leather shoes on the road and was covered in mud. She walked back crying all the way.

After walking a block, the villagers looked at them, which made the new educated youth even more embarrassed.

After arriving at the gate of the Educated Youth Home, Village Chief Zhao stopped Zhang Xiangjun from taking his partner to his home.

"First go to the Educated Youth Institute and say hello to everyone. You educated youths should also get to know each other. We will introduce them again later."

While Village Chief Zhao was talking, Sun Yong had already heard the sound and ran out.

"Village chief, these are all new comrades."

"Well, I won't go in. Sun Yong, please bring them in and introduce them to each other."

After village chief Zhao finished speaking, he drove the bullock cart and left. At this time, Sun Yong shouted into the courtyard.

"Yan Weimin, Xu Yongjian, Qi Ruying, Yuan Hongying, and Meng Zaihong came out to help the new comrades with their luggage."

After he finished shouting, he smiled at these new educated youths and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Sun Yong, and I am the captain of the educated youth of Shanghe Village. By the way, Xiangjun, go and inform the others to come to the Educated Youth Institute to meet the new comrades."

After these new educated youths were taken to the Educated Youth Home, their hearts felt cold again. Not to mention the dilapidated house, the key point was that the male educated youths had a very bad smell on their bodies.

Yin Lanfen had already learned about the situation here from Zhang Xiangjun, so she was not surprised. However, the expressions of others were very bad. They stood in the yard and didn't know what to say.

In fact, Zhang Xiangjun didn't need to inform everyone that there was a drama today. After getting the news, they rushed over quickly. Yang Xiuying was the first person to arrive at the scene.

Then Han Li took the Yun sisters, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi, Zhang Yaozu, Wu Lili, and all the old educated youths.

The new educated youth didn't know why so many educated youth came in from outside. They were all staring at Han Li and the others.

When the new educated youth looked at the old educated youth, the old educated youth also looked at them.

"Well, everyone is welcome to come to Shanghe Village and jump in line."
