Chapter 49 Disagree with you to do long-term work

Huang Xiaoming was puzzled: "Why do you want to be a long-term worker?"

"I want to redeem my piece of land."

"Shall I go back and talk to him for you?"

"No, this is my responsibility and I must bear it."

Because Huang Xiaoming is Huang Daming's twin brother, Chen Lisong didn't say the last half of the sentence: "The revenge that should be revenged must be revenged."

Early the next morning, Chen Lisong and Huang Xiaoming said goodbye to Lin Sancai and the people on Fengshan, and went down the mountain.

Huang Xiaoming told Chen Lisong a lot about the nation and the country along the way, but Chen Lisong was only thinking that his former husband and Huang Daming were twin brothers, and he tried hard to distinguish his husband from Huang Daming. But he always felt that the person walking beside him was Huang Daming. As for what Huang Xiaoming said, he didn't really listen to it.

Instead, he thought of himself as a long-term worker at Huang Daming's family, and the more he thought about it, the more determined he was, thinking about discussing it with his family when he got home.

Even if Chen Lisong didn't respond very much, Huang Xiaoming, who used to be Chen Lisong's teacher, was still talking non-stop, which made Chen Lisong very upset.

When you get off Fengshan, you will pass by Linjiazhai, where your younger sister Chen Songmei lives.

Chen Lisong thought that if Huang Xiaoming went back to the school, the school was in Chenzhuang, he would definitely go all the way to Chenzhuang, so Chen Lisong said to Huang Xiaoming: "Sir, I'm going to my brother-in-law Lin Jinshun's house, you should go back to the school first. "

"Okay! Passing by my brother-in-law's house, I should go see my sister."

So they parted ways at the fork in the road.

Huang Xiaoming went west to Huangzhuang to go to the school, and Chen Lisong went east to Linjiazhai to visit his sister and brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law Lin Jinshun heard that Chen Lisong had gone to Fengshan, and as soon as he saw him, he looked at him from head to toe, and asked, "Did the bandits do anything to you?"

"What bandits? The people above are not bandits!"

"Not a bandit?"

"Of course not bandits! If they were bandits, would I still be able to stand in front of them now? Brother Jinshun, let me discuss something with you."

"Tell me, Brother Lisong."

In the old-fashioned marriage custom of changing sisters-in-law in rural areas, in order to get closer, the two families usually followed the daughter-in-law to call the other party's in-laws.

Lin Jinshun is the elder brother of Lin Jinzhu. Chen Lisong, who married Lin Jinzhu, followed Lin Jinzhu and called Lin Jinshun his elder brother; ", one named Chen Lisong as "Brother Lisong".

"Now the paddy field of our family has been taken away by that naughty Huang Daming. After Jin Zhu got married, I can no longer go to the mountains to hunt wild game like before. I want to work as a long-term worker at Huang Daming's family and earn enough wages." Redeem that piece of land. This year, Jin Zhu and I have to observe filial piety, so I haven't planned to have a child yet. During this period of time, I want Jin Zhu and mother to live in Linjiazhai. Brother Jin Shun and Sister Song will have to work hard and trouble Help take care of them."

Both Lin Jinshun and Chen Songmei objected at the same time: "Don't be a long-term worker for a weasel!"

Lin Jinshun added: "We also have fields here. Although it's just a mountain field, it can support a family."

Of course, Chen Lisong knew that he could support his family, but not long ago he picked out grain seeds to support Lin Jinshun's family. Now that the three members of Chen's family are going to share the food, I'm afraid it's not a matter of "supporting a family". up.

The key to this matter is to discuss with mother and daughter-in-law Lin Jinzhu before making a decision, so Lin Jinshun and Chen Songmei's objection will not affect Chen Lisong's thinking.

After returning home, Chen Lisong called his mother and daughter-in-law to the main house, and the three sat at the dinner table to discuss.

"Mom, Jin Zhu, I want to work as a long-term worker for Huang Daming's family. First, I will work for a year to see if I can buy back the paddy field by the river. You two can stay at my sister's house temporarily, is that okay?"

When Lin Jinzhu heard the word "Huang Daming", she trembled with fear.She changed her previous attitude of listening to everything Chen Lisong said, and said: "I don't agree! We don't have any land in Chenzhuang, so we can go to Linjiazhai to find mountain fields to plant. Some people leave the land there, and we can give them some land. Take the money and plant it."

Chen Lisong felt that when Lin Jinzhu said this, her breathing became short of breath, as if she had a fever, and after she finished speaking, her cheeks were already flushed.

Chen Lisong reached out to touch her face, and asked, "Are you sick?"

Lin Jinzhu turned her face away from his hand and said, "It's all right, I'm not sick."

Chen Lisong's mother also said: "I don't agree with you being a long-term worker. Even if you are a long-term worker, don't go to Huang Daming's house!"

Chen Lisong knew that he shouldn't discuss this matter with them, but since both of them objected, let's put it aside for now.

Many things have already been thought about how to do them, but they often fail to be done after discussing them.

Chen Lisong had no choice but to discuss Lin Jinshun and Chen Songmei's proposal with them, and they both agreed.

Since he agreed, he decided to move to Linjiazhai.

Chen Lisong quickly found two mountains in Linjiazhai.

Rice cannot be grown in mountainous areas, but sweet potatoes can be grown.After the sweet potatoes are harvested, they can be shredded and dried into sweet potato rice.

In the southern mountainous area 80 years ago, rice had to be planted in paddy fields, while water in mountainous areas depended on streams and wells. In places far away from streams, if rice was planted, it was easy to fail due to lack of water. Sweet potatoes were planted in dry land but not in paddy fields. , so sweet potato rice is often the staple food of farmers in many mountain villages.

After planting sweet potatoes, harvesting sweet potatoes can not only make sweet potato rice, but also produce sweet potato flour.

How to make sweet potato rice and sweet potato flour?

When the sweet potatoes are ripe, the farmers go to the field to dig the sweet potatoes.After digging the sweet potatoes, the first process is to wash the soil outside the sweet potatoes, the second process is to grate the washed sweet potatoes into shreds, and the third process is to pour the sweet potato shreds into a wooden box called sweet potato 楻Wash off the sweet potato powder in a large container. The fourth process is to put the shredded sweet potato in a sweet potato basket and drain it once or twice with clean water. The fifth process is to dry the shredded sweet potato evenly on a slanted When the sweet potato is exposed to the sun and dried, it becomes sweet potato rice.

Of course, in the process of washing sweet potato flour, the water in the sweet potato pulp must be clean, because sweet potato flour is actually a very good starch.In order to clean the starch, the metropolis will stir it back and forth with a strainer.

The idea of ​​the family is very good, and Chen Lisong is also hardworking.He deeply plowed the rented mountain land, and got some sweet potato seeds, picking fertilizer and carrying water. After half a month, he finally planted all the sweet potatoes.

Because of Chen Lisong's diligence, the sweet potatoes are growing very well.When Chen Lisong had nothing to do, he always went to the field to pull weeds, loosen the soil, and flicked left and right.

Watching the sweet potato vines grow wildly day by day, he slowly walked out of the shadow of his father's accidental death, smiling every day.

On this day, dark clouds were posing on the top of Daoxia and Fengshan. Chen Lisong was worried that if it rained, the mountains and fields would be washed away, so he put on brown clothes and went to the mountain.

Chen Lisong stood at the top of the field and looked up at the sky. At this time, the dark clouds had begun to roll, and it seemed that a torrential rain was about to fall from the sky.

He looked at the sky to the west again. Under the sky, he saw a few cars coming from Tiancheng from a distance. In front of each car, there seemed to be a plaster picture of a devil.
