Hello 1983

  Chapter 58 The Magical Use of Irons (Add more)

  Early on Sunday morning, Liu Qingshan still got up to carry water. When he arrived at Jingyan'er, he saw the big head and several people also came to carry water.

   After asking, I learned that Captain Zhang and Uncle Boss, a dozen or so of them, set off in a carriage in the middle of the night to purchase piglets in the county.

   It creaked, and when the well pulley was shaken, it made a soft noise. This big well of the production team is a treasure.

  The well is more than 30 to 40 meters deep, and the willow cans filled with water can only be lifted up after shaking it dozens of times.

  Although it takes a little effort, the water quality is sweet, like spring water, and it is still cold in summer.

   "Qing Shan, help Uncle make two barrels."

  Dashuai Zhang also came to fetch water, which was the job he was least willing to do.

  As for the reason, of course it is his height.

  The handle of the potter's wheel is designed according to the height of a normal person. When it comes to Zhang Dashuai, it will be embarrassing.

   When shaking the pulley handle to the highest point, he couldn't reach it, so he could only jump up and press down.

  Turn around, jump up, turn around again, jump up again, shake the willow pot of water, you will be sweating profusely from exhaustion.

  The most important thing is that it is very embarrassing. Jing Yan'er was originally a distribution center for the men in the village. When there is nothing to do, they gather here to chatter.

  Seeing Dashuai Zhang bouncing around like this, it was inevitable that he would make a joke or something, which felt very embarrassing.

  So usually, Marshal Zhang always asks for help, and today he found Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan didn't refuse, and turned the handle of the potter's wheel like a windmill. The faster you shake this thing, the greater the inertia, and the less energy you need.

  He was fetching water, and the big head next to him suddenly said: "Sanfenger, I have been thinking about one thing for the past two days. You said that in winter, how do we irrigate the greenhouse? Can't we also carry water?"

   This is a problem. Liu Qingshan has no experience, so he didn't expect this, and he didn't expect the big head to think about it first.

  After fetching water, he touched the big head's brain: "Okay, it's not as big as Bai Chang, and I know how to think about things in my head."

  Big head chuckled a few times: "It would be great if I could connect the tap water."

   Tap water, don’t think about it right now, unless you pay for the pipes yourself.

  Liu Qingshan pondered for a while: "Big head, have you seen that kind of small well suppression?"

  He shook his head. At this moment, manual small well suppression is not popular in rural areas yet.

   "Let's just drill a few wells. Three families share one well. In this way, ten wells are enough for our village."

  All Liu Qingshan could think of was this convenient and cost-effective method. The well was drilled in the garden, and when the greenhouse needed watering, the water pipes were used to lead the water there.

  The two brothers discussed it, and made an appointment to talk to the old branch secretary after breakfast, and then went home with buckets.

  As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the fourth child yelling: "Make dumplings, make dumplings!"

  Didn’t I boil lard oil yesterday, and the leftover lard residue makes dumplings the most delicious.

   Waiting for Liu Qingshan to wash his hands and enter the house, a large family is making dumplings around the kang.

  Gao Wenxue couldn’t supply the skin by himself. Grandpa, grandma, Lin Zhi, and Yang Hongying were responsible for the bag, and the eldest sister was there to get the medicine.

  Liu Qingshan went into the house and walked around, and then went to the outhouse to light the fire.

  After the three gailian dumplings were put into the pot, they floated up like a tail of small white fish, and the fourth and fifth children began to circle around the pot.

  As the old saying goes, "Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?" In the current situation, it is really the Chinese New Year that only people can eat dumplings.

   Do you think it’s not delicious to eat?

   Wait for a plate of dumplings to be served on the table, take a bite, lard residue mixed with cabbage, make people want to swallow their tongues.

  After eating the dumplings, drink another bowl of dumpling soup, full of food and drink, the fourth and fifth children carry their schoolbags, and go to school with Yang Hongying, Liu Qingshan also called Shang Datou, and wandered to the branch secretary's house.

  As soon as he heard that a small well was going to be drilled, the old party secretary's eyes lit up immediately. He had seen this kind of well in other places, and it was very convenient to use.

  But there is a problem: ten wells must cost a lot of money, right?

  No input, no output. Liu Qingshan talked to the old party secretary for a long time. Not only the greenhouses need water, but also the pig farms and chicken farms will also need a lot of water in the future. It is a waste of manpower to rely on people to carry water.

  Isn’t the 10,000 yuan loan used for these aspects? If you just buy rapeseed, a few hundred yuan will be enough.

   On this matter, the old branch secretary couldn't make a decision alone, and had to wait for Captain Zhang and the others to come back, and everyone would make a total calculation, but the old branch secretary agreed in principle.

  After discussing the matter of digging the well, they began to gather the villagers and went to Datou's house together.

  It is now mid-September, taking advantage of the few days before the autumn harvest, every household just happens to clear out the greenhouses.

   There are two main tasks: one is to fertilize the soil, and the other is to cover with plastic film.

  Take Datou’s greenhouse as an experimental field for demonstration.

  The people present are all old farmers, so it’s no problem to fertilize the soil and so on. Datou mainly talked about the types and quantities of manure used.

   Good things should also be paid attention to in moderation. Vegetables are actually the same as people. If you eat too much good things, they will be spoiled. If you eat too much manure, you can still burn vegetables.

  The fertilizers needed in the greenhouse are plant ash and manure accumulated and fermented by the poles.

  Big head stood in the middle, and said in a dignified manner: "This plant ash is alkaline, and the content of potassium in it is relatively high; the manure is acidic, and there are more organic substances."

  The audience around were impatient and yelled: "Big head, just tell me how much to use, what kind of acid and alkali, we don't understand."

  When you hear this broken gong-like voice, it is like a pole.

  The big head is also supported by someone, and his old mother, Aunt Zhang, is not happy when she hears it:

   "Jiaozi, listen carefully. With the same land and fertilizer, your crops will grow the worst, and the grass will be taller than the seedlings. If the greenhouse is also planted like this, when it comes to pennies, I will deduct all of it from you!"

  Hearing that the money was going to be deducted, Zhang Ganzi didn't dare to yell, so he could only mutter in a low voice: "The land I allocated is not saline-alkali land, and nothing can grow well."

  Aunt Zhang is also the women's captain in the village, and she is very powerful: "Gear, why are you still not convinced, what are you mumbling about?"

  There was someone making trouble next to him, and Da Zhangluo coughed with a smile: "Big girl, the pole said that your saline-alkali land doesn't grow seedlings, but grass, and Captain Zhang doesn't wait every night, it's all deserted!"

  This saline-alkali land is not that saline-alkali land.

   "Zhang pole!"

  Aunt Zhang frowned and stared: "Sisters, grab Zhang Ganzi, we must pick him up today!"

  Rural women are really brave. When they were working in the production team, it was common for men to take off the trousers of other men.

  When Zhang Ganzi heard this, he was so frightened that he ran away clutching his trouser belt.

   Aunt Zhang yelled from behind: "Don't run, don't run, I'm joking with you, come back and listen to the lecture!"

   Zhang Ganzi dawdled back tremblingly, his hands not daring to relax at all, holding his trousers all the time.

   Actually, he was worrying too much. There were quite a few half-grown men and half-grown girls present, so Aunt Zhang was just talking.

  Rural work is just like this, talking nonsense while doing it, it is lively and lively, and it can relieve fatigue.

  After the big head finished speaking, everyone started to clean up the eggplant seedlings and cucumber racks in the greenhouse.

  Then, the women carried the ash and manure in soil baskets and evenly sprinkled them on the ground.

  The men took shovels and forks and began to dig the ground, and someone behind them took a rake and a **** to level the land.

   After a short while, the inside of the shed completely changed its appearance. Every row was covered with dark and shiny soil, as if you could grab it and squeeze out oil.

  Before sowing, fill with water again, and the preparatory work will be over.

  The only thing left is to cover the plastic sheeting, and the problem also appeared at this time: the width of the plastic sheeting is relatively narrow, more than two meters and less than three meters, so it must be connected together.

  The big head also kept scratching the back of his head, a little worried: The book said that it was a whole piece of plastic film, which was cut according to the size of the greenhouse. It didn't say how to splice it together?

  Others also came up with suggestions: Da Zhang Luo said to get more rice dumplings, sticking plastic sheets together one by one like a wall.

   After trying it out, the plastic sheeting was too glossy, and ordinary rice dumplings couldn't stick to it at all.

  Grandpa Kidnapper suggested: "Burning the plastic with fire will stick it together."

   This is a good idea, but I found two small pieces of plastic sheeting to try, and the burnt ones had big holes and small eyes, and they couldn't be controlled at all.

   If this key problem cannot be solved, the plastic greenhouse will not continue. Seeing that the time is almost noon, the old party secretary yelled, and everyone dispersed first.

  Liu Qingshan didn't think of any good ideas, and felt a little depressed: This big living person, can he really be suffocated to death?

  When I got home, my mother was cooking. When I entered the room, I saw my eldest sister Liu Jinfeng happily ironing clothes on the table with an electric iron.

  At this time, everyone is not using a steam iron, but the iron one. After the electricity is turned on, they slip back and forth on the half-dry clothes and pants.

   After ironing, the clothes and pants will be shiny, especially the trouser line.

  This iron is a gift that Gao Wenxue bought for his wife yesterday. The average rural family doesn't use this iron at all, and it's good to wear some.

  Seeing the iron, Liu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped over: "Sister, use the iron for me!"

   "Don't grab it, be careful not to burn your hands."

  Liu Jinfeng protected the iron and said, "Sanfenger, what clothes do you have, I will iron them for you."

  Liu Qingshan took out a small roll of plastic sheeting from his trouser pocket: "Iron this first, see if it sticks together!"

   Now Liu Jinfeng stared at Danfeng immediately: "Sanfeng, you are making trouble, aren't you, are your ears itchy?"

  The newly bought electric iron is shiny and can be used as a mirror. I don’t even want to iron clothes. You use it to iron plastic cloth!

  Liu Qingshan hurriedly told the elder sister what happened in the morning. Although Liu Jinfeng felt distressed, he also knew that the matter was important, so he could only let go of his hand reluctantly:

   "Sanfenger, I think it's better to put a layer of cloth on top of the plastic sheet, so that the plastic sheet won't be scalded by the heat and get stuck on the iron."

   Seems to make sense.

  Liu Qingshan did as he did, put two small pieces of plastic sheeting together, covered it with a thin cloth, and passed the iron iron over it.

  Stand up the iron and put it aside, pick up the plastic sheet, and it was really connected together.

   I tugged and felt that the glue was quite strong, and I checked it carefully again, and it was tight and there was no air leakage.

   "Haha, it's done, sister, your iron is really easy to use!"

  Liu Qingshan was so satisfied that he couldn't help dancing.

  Accidentally, his finger touched the iron, which immediately made him scream strangely, this time he really jumped on the floor.
