Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 153 Ran Qiuye was fired!

In the 50s, materials began to be scarce, so a decision was made from above to build farms. This decision was very correct. About dozens of farms were established around Sijiu City.

Until the mid-60s, people on the farm burned firewood for cooking, and there were piles of firewood piled in front of every house.

Later, in order to protect the vegetation, firewood was not allowed to be burned. Those who had coal on various farms burned coal. Those who had insufficient coal supply burned cow and sheep dung like the local herdsmen.

The government sends carriages to pull sheep dung from herdsmen's sheep pens. After pulling it back, the soil and debris are sifted out and supplied to everyone.

You can go to the countryside to pick up cow dung yourself.

Because cow and sheep dung is relatively cheap and easy to obtain, cow and sheep dung has become the main fuel for every family on some farms. There is a sheep dung and cow dung pond in front of every house.Collecting firewood and cow dung became part of daily life.

Because cow and sheep dung is not very resistant to burning, some coal will be bought for heating in winter.

Because transportation capacity is limited, coal is also rationed on a per-household basis in some farms.Looking back now, when I first burned cow and sheep dung, there seemed to be no peculiar smell, and the more I burned it, the more experienced I became.

In the beginning, a bellows was used to burn sheep dung. Later, I don't know who invented the suction stove, so the bellows was no longer needed. Once the stove door was closed, the fire was whirring. When the fire was not in use, just open the door.

Most of the vegetables eaten by farm people are produced by the farm itself.

Each brigade of the farm has a vegetable garden. The vegetables grown in the vegetable garden mainly include cabbage, cabbage, white radish, carrot, potato, as well as lettuce, leek, mustard, green onion, coriander, etc.

Melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc. can be grown in Yangqi or greenhouses.

The production capacity in the greenhouse is relatively small.Every year, the farm also sends vehicles to pick up some seasonal vegetables and come back to supply them to everyone.

The farm does not produce fruits (Gandu produces apples, other farms do not have such good climate conditions), and fresh fruits were relatively rare on the farm at that time.

Every autumn, the farm's trucks bring some melons, pears, and peaches from outside to supply to everyone, so that we can eat fresh fruits.There were canned fruits in the farm store. Canned fruits were considered relatively high-end food at that time, and it was impossible for anyone to buy them often.The farm often went to Qinghai Lake to collect Huang fish and sold them to everyone. At that time, there was no fishing ban in Qinghai Lake, Huang fish was very cheap, and farm people often had Huang fish to eat.

Although the farm produces food, everyone's rations are rationed according to the plan. Cadres are 31 jins per month, workers are 45 jins, and family members and students are 28 jins per month.The grain ration is not all refined grains, but also includes a small part of coarse grains. Coarse grains are usually highland barley flour or pea flour.Refined grains are wheat flour and a small amount of rice.

The canteen usually serves steamed buns, but rice is only served every Sunday.Edible oil is also rationed, half a catty per person per month, and half a catty more for New Years and holidays.

In 1963, Tanggemu Farm also encouraged every household to raise pigs, and allotted some land to each household. There was not much land, only about a small amount of land. Everyone basically used it to grow potatoes, which both humans and pigs could eat. .

Unfortunately, this policy was only implemented for one year, and later it was withdrawn. Pigs were no longer allowed to be raised, and only some chickens were allowed to be raised.

During difficult times, the farm also organized a fishing team to go fishing in Qinghai Lake to supplement the food shortage.At that time, Tanggemu Farm even organized a hunting team to hunt hares, gazelles, wolves, etc. in the depths of the grassland or in the distant mountains.

During the autumn harvest on the farm, everyone would go to the harvested fields to glean wheat ears, walk potatoes, sweep rapeseed, pick peas, dig bracken, etc.For farmers, this is a rich "small autumn harvest", and the harvest belongs to them.

The vegetables farmers need in winter are stored in autumn.In autumn, you need to dig a vegetable cellar. The vegetable cellar should be dug below the frozen soil layer. Cabbage, potatoes, radishes, etc. should be stored in it so that it can be eaten until the beginning of next spring.

The vegetable cellars of each brigade on the farm are so large that even a rack truck can pull them down.The brigade's vegetable cellar first digs a deep and long trench, and then digs several caves on both sides of the deep trench. In these caves, the cabbage, potatoes, and radishes that are abundant on the farm can be stored.

A shed should be built above the vegetable cellar so that the vegetables in the vegetable cellar will not freeze.

In autumn, every household on the farm will also pickle various pickles, such as pickled dried radish, pickled pickled cabbage, pickled mustard mustard, pickled lettuce and so on.You can also dry vegetables, such as beans, melons, lettuce, etc. You can blanch them in boiling water and then dry them in the sun. When eating in winter, soak them in water until they are soft, and then you can cook them.Some people use medically used salt water bottles. After cleaning, they chop tomatoes and put them in, then steam them to remove the air. They can also store them for consumption in winter.

The chickens raised by each household on the farm provide eggs for the farmers, and some families raise rabbits. These are all part of the food source for the farmers' tables.

Home-raised chickens and rabbits were high-end ingredients at that time, and their delicious taste made people covet them. However, the number was limited after all, and the hens that laid eggs were reluctant to kill them.Eggs are the main source of protein in daily life and can also be pickled and eaten in winter.

The salt used in the early days of the farm was large-grain Chaka salt, which was raw salt without any processing.

Because they can be self-sufficient, the farms are all closed. Each farm has established its own set of production and living support facilities. The builders of the farm are constantly improving these support facilities so that the farmers can live in this closed environment. , able to work and live normally.

Every farm has a children's school, a staff hospital, a store, a post office, a savings bank, a police station, etc.

The farm has its own power plant, which provides electricity for production and domestic use throughout the farm.But at that time, the power was usually cut off at 12 o'clock in the evening. Only during holidays and New Year's Day, the power would not be cut off at night.

At that time, every household on the farm had kerosene lamps or horse lanterns, and there were several of them, which were necessities of life.

Each farm can produce its own flour and rapeseed oil.Each farm can produce vermicelli, tofu, meat, poultry, eggs and other non-staple foods, as well as soy sauce, vinegar, highland barley wine and so on.

The farm also has various daily service facilities, such as hairdressing, sewing, photography, etc.The farm has a fleet of vehicles that transport various supplies and people in and out of the farm.

He Yuzhu worked hard and found out that Ran Qiuye's parents were at the Red Star Farm, fifty miles away from Sijiu City. He Yuzhu originally did this to comfort Ran Qiuye, because Ran Qiuye had always been worried about the safety of his parents. After all, he didn't even know where his parents were. No child will not be worried.

But what He Yuzhu didn't expect was that after knowing the location of his parents, Ran Qiuye wanted to find his parents many times, but you didn't want to think about your current identity and the identity of your parents.Red Star Farm is the same as the farms mentioned above. It is closed. How could you, a girl, sneak in secretly? Moreover, your identity and the identity of your parents are so sensitive now. If you have to go at this time, When you meet your parents, what I know is that you miss your parents, but what I don’t know is that you think you are sending some message.

He Yuzhu walked into the security section of the steel rolling mill. When the section chief of the security section saw He Yuzhu coming, he stood up with a helpless expression and said: "He Yuzhu, you are really harmful to others."

"Sorry, sorry!" He Yuzhu also quickly apologized: "Chief Jiang, what is the situation now?"

"What's the situation? It's a troublesome situation. They caught Ran Qiuye, the cook in your first canteen, and came here in a car early this morning. He handed Ran Qiuye to us, hoping that we would investigate and deal with what news Ran Qiuye and her parents had passed on. .

Good guy, we are not ready to leave now. If we don’t give an explanation, this matter will not end. Now eight people from the security department of Red Star Farm live in the workers’ dormitory of our factory.

We must give an explanation.

How do you say we should give an explanation? Ran Qiuye kept crying when she was interrogated. I know she is from your cafeteria, so I leave it to you first. You have to give us an explanation. "

"Okay, okay, I will definitely give you an explanation. Can I go see Ran Qiuye now?" He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly.

"Go. It's in the back room. I'll ask everyone to come out." After Section Chief Jiang finished speaking, he shouted inside: "Everyone inside should come out first."

After a while, three people from the security department walked out and followed He Yuzhu in. After He Yuzhu entered, he saw Ran Qiuye with his head lowered. Although he didn't say a word, He Yuzhu could see Ran Qiuye's disappointment.

Suddenly, Ran Qiuye raised his head and saw He Yuzhu, curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry!"

The word "I'm sorry" made all the reproachful words He Yuzhu wanted to say get stuck in his throat. Then He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. Have you seen the teacher and my wife?"

"No...!" Ran Qiuye shook his head sadly: "I was caught before I went in, and they locked me up."

"They didn't do anything to you, right?" He Yuzhu asked worriedly.

"No. They just locked me up and asked me some questions. Because I didn't go in at all, they have no evidence to prove what I did!"

"Ah, that's good." He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "You are still too impulsive. I have already told you that I will try my best to arrange the meeting between the teacher and the teacher's wife, because at this period, we need everything It’s time to pay attention, but you didn’t listen to me.

Fortunately, you were arrested without seeing the teacher and the mistress. If you really saw the teacher and the mistress, it would be impossible to explain. "

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Ran Qiuye lowered his head and cried.

He Yuzhu said quickly at this time: "Okay, okay, don't cry. There shouldn't be much of a problem this time. However, you have to promise me that no matter what you do in the future, you will tell me in advance. One sound."

"Yes!" Ran Qiuye nodded vigorously.

He followed He Yuzhu and went out, but what He Yuzhu didn't expect was that the matter would not be solved so easily. Although Ran Qiuye did not meet her parents, she had the intention to do so. The security department of the Red Star Farm opposite had always been After emphasizing that Ran Qiuye's behavior is likely to be that of a bad person, he hopes that Red Star Rolling Mill can send Ran Qiuye to the police station.

He Yuzhu quickly begged for mercy, but the farm security department would not give any face. No matter what He Yuzhu said, it would not work. In the end, He Yuzhu took out his trump card and made a large table of food for the people in the farm security department, and then gave it to them. I got a lot of food stamps and meat stamps.

Under the attack of these things, the people in the farm security department did not continue to hold on to Ran Qiuye's affairs, but soon the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill made a decision to expel Ran Qiuye. This time, no matter how He Yuzhu pleaded, it was of no use.

In the end, Ran Qiuye was fired. Some people would definitely say that it was a good thing to be fired. As long as he was fired, Ran Qiuye would no longer be tortured, helping in the kitchen, cleaning toilets or other tasks.

If you say this, you are totally wrong. If Ran Qiuye has not been fired, then no matter what, her roots are in the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiucheng. And if the steel rolling mill fires Ran Qiuye, then Ran Qiuye's The quota will be assigned to the street, so the street will assign Ran Qiuye to another place, and it is Beidaxun Farm.

In other words, if Ran Qiuye is fired, then she can no longer stay in Sijiu City and will be sent to Beidaxun Farm.

He Yuzhu started running around for Ran Qiuye's matter. At first, He Yuzhu wanted to keep Ran Qiuye, but he couldn't find it after finding many people because this period was too sensitive. It wasn't that everyone didn't want to help He Yuzhu, but they were messing with that thing. When it comes to relationships, it’s hard for everyone.

So there was no other way. Ran Qiuye was finally fired. After the expulsion, everything about Ran Qiuye was sent to the street. Then, He Yuzhu asked Grandma Li to talk to Director Zhang Yan of the street, hoping that Ran Qiuye could stay in Sijiu City. But unfortunately, Zhang Yan told He Yuzhu and Grandma Li that it was a certainty that Ran Qiuye would leave Sijiu City.

Because of Ran Qiuye's identity, she had to go to Beidaxun Farm to receive a second education. No matter who came, it would be useless.

Hey. That's how it is in this era. Once you get a bad reputation, it's really hard for you to move forward. Even if He Yuzhu is a Sun Wukong, he can't protect Ran Qiuye completely.

You must leave Sijiu City, and when you get to Beidaxun Farm, without He Yuzhu’s help, no one can control what bad things Ran Qiuye will encounter. You don’t know, after going to Beidaxun Farm Re-education means making you endure hardships.

He Yuzhu really wanted to help Ran Qiuye, but He Yuzhu was really powerless now. He could only cook a table of dishes for Ran Qiuye and see Ran Qiuye off. To be honest, He Yuzhu had tried his best.

In that era, everyone had to be careful, because if you were not careful and someone caught you, you were doomed.

What happened to Ran Qiuye was really not that He Yuzhu didn't work hard, but that there was no way around it.
