Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 24 Family Team

At the north end of the forest farm, there is a small river ditch. Behind the small river ditch is a swamp, which the locals call Laowadianzi.

After passing the Laowadianzi, there is a row of loess mounds, and a row of independent or connected self-built houses are built on the loess mounds.

Lao Hu's family lives at the easternmost end of the house, and it is also a self-built two-and-a-half-room woodcut mud house.

There are fewer residents here, and the place can be more spacious. The yard of Lao Hu's house is larger than that of Sheng's house.

When Sheng Xiping came over, the chimney of the old Hu's house was already smoking. It should be a fire for cooking.

There was a man in the vegetable garden, squatting there not knowing what to do, Sheng Xiping saw the figure, and knew it was the captain, Lao Hu.

"Uncle Hu, what are you up to?" Sheng Xiping coughed and greeted Hu in the vegetable garden with a smile.

Lao Hu was thinning seedlings in the celery field, when he heard the movement and turned around, he saw that it was Sheng Xiping.

"Oh, it's Xiping, why did you come to my place this early in the morning?"

Lao Hu hurriedly got up, patted the dirt on his hands, and walked out of the vegetable garden with a smile.

"Uncle, this is the fish I caught this morning, and I just brought you some."

Sheng Xiping smiled and brought the enamel basin to Lao Hu.

When Lao Hu saw it, he was very happy, "Oh, you went to catch fish again?

Let me tell you, among the young people in the Erqianchuan Forest Farm, you are the only one who is capable.

You can go hunting in the mountains, catch fish in the river, and paddle to your home.

Brother Sheng is really blessed to raise such a capable son like you. "

Sheng Xiping also often hunted and caught fish in previous years, and everyone in the forest farm knew that.

Not to mention, in the past two days, it has been a pheasant and a big snake, and it has long been spread.

"Old woman, come quickly, Xiping sent some fish to our family, you can find something to put it on."

Old Hu yelled at the top of his voice, then grabbed Sheng Xiping's hand and walked into the house.

"Boss, are you up yet? Quickly boil water and make tea for Brother Xiping.

I know I'm lazy every day, and I don't sleep until dawn.

Look at Brother Xiping, he got up early in the morning and caught a lot of fish. "

Lao Hu's voice was quite loud, and it directly started arguing with the sleeping children in the room.

When the old Hu's wife heard the movement, she hurried out of the house, and when she saw Sheng Xiping coming with something, she was also smiling.

"Oh, it's Xiping's nephew who is here.

You see, our family has a lot to do with you.Come on, come in and sit down. "

Old Hu's daughter-in-law took the basin containing the fish, quickly found something from the top of the cupboard, and poured the fish into it.

Then I grabbed a noodle opener, wiped the Sheng's basin well, scalded it with hot water twice, and scrubbed it clean.

While working, Lao Hu's daughter-in-law called his daughter-in-law and hurried out to squeeze the belly of the fish.

He also called the second boy in the family to go to the tofu shop to pick up two pieces of tofu. This morning, he just stewed a tofu with anchovies.

As soon as they heard that there was something delicious to eat, the children of the Hu family were also very agile, they hurried out of bed, washed their faces and started working.

Sheng Xiping was dragged by Lao Hu to sit in the east room, and the two sat on the kang and chatted.

"Xiping, I'm having dinner at my uncle's this morning.

You also heard what your aunt said, this morning, the stewed tofu with small miscellaneous fish, we have two sips. "

What Lao Hu said was mostly polite.

People who are passing by, how can they drink early in the morning?

This was something from Sheng Xiping, and Lao Hu didn't know how to express it, so he said that he wanted to keep Sheng Xiping for a drink.

"Uncle, I still have a lot of work at home, so I won't eat at Uncle's this morning.

Another day, another day when I'm free, I must come to my uncle's house for dinner. "

How can Sheng Xiping eat at Lao Hu's house?Busy looking for excuses to shirk.

"Uncle, I'm here, I have something to ask you.

The saplings on the mountain have been shoveled for the first time. I thought about it and asked, what work does our educated youth team do today?
Isn't it time to turn over the earth and prepare to plant radishes? "

It is generally said that there are radish and radish and vegetables, but Qianchuan Forest Farm is located in the Changbai Mountain forest area, which belongs to the alpine mountain area.

The altitude is high, the temperature is low, the frost-free period is short, and autumn freezes early, so vegetables must be planted ten days and a half months in advance.

The family team of the forest farm mainly grows radishes, cabbage, and potatoes to ensure the supply of autumn vegetables for the forest farm.

At the same time, I also grow a small amount of seasonal vegetables, corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc., to supply the canteen and your pigs raised by the family team.

The corn and beans have sprouted quite tall. I just finished shoveling the ground a while ago, and there is nothing busy at present, but the vegetable field is ready to plant radishes and cabbages.

"Well, it's almost time to dig the land. There are more than 200 acres left in Houdadi, and there are several other places in Xidadi.

We have to plant a lot this year, so start early to save time. "

There are [-] mu of land in the back mountain of the agricultural team. Before that, some corn and beans were planted, and a lot of late potatoes were planted. The remaining [-] mu had to be planted with radishes and cabbage.

In addition, the forest farm also has many fragmented plots of land in other places, which add up to one or two hundred acres.

So many places have to be searched, and the family team didn't raise large animals, and they all pointed at people and picked picks, so they had to prepare in advance?

"Then let's go to work in Houda today. Anyway, the time is rushing, so you don't have to worry too much, just take your time."

Lao Hu attached great importance to Sheng Xiping, and he also knew that these young people were very tired after shoveling the saplings for nearly half a month.

So I told Sheng Xiping to let them take it easy and not work too hard.

"Okay, I will follow Uncle's arrangement."

This is what Sheng Xiping wanted. Although Hou Dadi is close to the root of the mountain, it is still close to the forest farm.

I finish work early in the afternoon, and I don’t have to wait for the commuter bus, so I just go home for dinner.

"Uncle, then I'll go home first, and everyone at home is waiting for me.

When I'm free, my uncle also goes to my house to sit and sit, and my dad always talks about my uncle. "

Sheng Xiping said some polite words, then got up to leave.

Lao Hu and his wife made a symbolic request to stay, but Sheng Xiping insisted on leaving, and the two hurriedly sent them out.

Hu's wife also returned the cleaned enamel basin to Sheng Xiping.

"Nephew, this is your pot, I cleaned it all up.

Oh, I really have to thank my nephew, throughout the year, I have had a good time with you. "

Sheng Xiping took the pot, said a few polite words to Lao Hu and his wife, and then left Hu's house quickly.

He didn't go home directly, but went to the field department first, and shouted with the big loudspeaker of the field department.

Inform the educated youth of each family to gather at the barn of the family team at seven o'clock, and go to work on the ground today.

There is no way, the educated youths in the forest farm haven't built up at all, and they are all living in various houses.

Sheng Xiping couldn't go door to door to inform, could he?You can only shout with a loudspeaker.

Every morning at 05:30, the loudspeaker in the forest farm starts to shout.

Most of the time, front-line production tasks are arranged according to the weather conditions, and news broadcasts are interspersed in the middle.

If there is heavy snowfall in winter, the workers wake up in the morning and stretch their necks to wait for the loudspeaker to shout.

As soon as they heard that production was closed for rest today, the big guys would cover their heads and continue to sleep back into the cage.

Today the educated youth don't have to go to the mountains to work, so they don't have to get up early.

So many people simply hid in the bed and slept for a while when they heard the loudspeaker yelling.
