Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 167 Technical work

Yang Zhenyu woke up after taking a nap, the sun hid in the clouds, and the weather turned cooler.

In the dam, Wang Xiuying and Mao Hongqin's mother-in-law were sitting in the pile of corn while chatting about the household chores.

There may be thousands of catties of corn in the family. Yang Zhenyu took all of them back when he was free some time ago. After drying them for a few days, he is now going to hemp the grains of corn to feed chickens and ducks, or go to Zhang Mingkang’s winery to exchange some fermented grains. The corn slag came back, and there is a Chinese New Year pig at home, and the pig likes to eat this stuff.

It can grow fatter than feeding feed.

"Grandma, Granny Yang!"

Yang Zhenyu called out cordially.

Wang Xiuying nodded, "The tea is brewed for you on the stove."

Yang Caixia also smiled and nodded, "Zhenyu is up?"

Yang Zhenyu responded with a smile, went into the room to get a teacup, and came out to ask the black tiger and golden monkey to feed the fish together.

"Grandma, when I come back to clean up, you and Granny Yang don't get tired." Yang Zhenyu said while holding the feed basin.

Yang Caixia turned her head and said with a smile: "I've been numb for decades, so I can't be tired of this matter, Zhenyu, don't worry, your grandma and I are bragging, and I will help you to numb the corn by the way."

Looking at Yang Zhenyu's back, Yang Caixia praised: "Zhenyu is so filial, I'm afraid you will be tired."

Wang Xiuying said proudly: "I'm not allowed to do this all day long, and I'm not allowed to do that. I sit on the roof like a fool. People, I have to move more and live longer."

Yang Caixia said: "My old sister, you are born in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed. If I had such a filial grandson, I would sleep and wait for food every day.

I've been digging the soil all my life, and I'm really tired. "

"Your daughter-in-law Mao Hongqin is so capable, with her working hard, how can you endure hardship?"

"That's that, Mao Hongqin doesn't have to talk about his work, and he also takes care of his family, but he talks a lot and easily offends people.

However, during this period of time, I was helping Zhenyu's farmhouse, and I have become more polite in speaking, and it is quite pleasant to say a few words from time to time.

This morning I went to the street and bought me a piece of clothing, pure cotton, I'm not willing to wear it yet. "

Yang Caixia became more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

She felt that this had a lot to do with Mao Hongqin's going to work in the farmhouse. At least the villagers felt that Mao Hongqin's mouth was not so unpleasant now.

Wang Xiuying frowned and said: "Sister, you can wear the clothes you should wear, and if you don't wear them now, you can keep them in the soil?
Once buried, future generations will burn it for you every year, so don't be reluctant.

Look at me, I will wear it when my grandson buys it. I heard that this bracelet is made of jadeite, and it is very expensive in the city, so I put it on when my grandson buys it.

Two days ago, I was still saying that I will make money next year, and I will build a big villa for me to live in. My old lady has never lived in a big villa. "

Yang Caixia nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, our generation is used to living a hard life, but we are not used to living a good life. I have to learn more from my old lady in the future."

"Hahaha, it's okay, come down and brag with me." Wang Xiuying laughed.

It’s almost seven o’clock when Yang Zhenyu comes back from feeding the fish, but the days are long in summer, and Yangjiawan Village doesn’t get dark until around 08:30 in the evening.

"Grandma Yang, are you still there?" Yang Zhenyu put down the barrel and smiled.

"I just talked with your grandma about the fact that you are going to build a big villa next year. I'll come and sit down then, Zhenyu, don't drive me out." Yang Caixia joked.

"Grandma Yang, what you said makes me unable to hold my head up in the village. The villa has been repaired, so come and sit for as long as you want."

While Yang Zhenyu was talking, he brought up a bench, turned the bench upside down, put a rubber shoe on the foot of the stool with the sole facing up, picked up a grain of corn, pressed it on the bottom of the rubber shoe, and scraped it down slightly. Find a few ways.

Yang Zhenyu learned to use this old method to help Wang Xiuying Ma Baogu when he was still in elementary school.

At that time, the family was in trouble, and Wang Xiuying had to plant more than ten acres of corn every year, and the annual harvest was tens of thousands of catties. Wang Xiuying pointed out that these corns could be sold for some money to subsidize the family.

After the summer vacation, Yang Zhenyu followed Wang Xiuying to the field to break corn with a small basket on his back. He carried [-] to [-] catties each time, and the grandparents and grandchildren insisted on carrying back all the corn from the ten mu of land.

Then there are Mabaogu rice day and night, and villagers often come to help.

At that time, Yang Zhenyu often had blood blisters on his hands, and sometimes the pain was unbearable. When he bit his teeth, he went into the room and applied some toothpaste to continue working.

This is the normal childhood life of a child from a poor family.

In the past few years when I went to study and work, although I haven't done similar work, once I pick up Baogu, the body's muscle memory is released at once, and it is very easy to do.

Yang Caixia looked at Yang Zhenyu Ma Baogu's speed and said with a smile, "Zhenyu, haven't you forgotten these tasks?"

Yang Zhenyu responded: "I can't forget it, Granny Yang, I have taken root."

"Not bad, the young man doesn't forget his roots now that he has made a fortune."

In Yang Caixia's view, this is a very precious quality. Some young people who have left the village have earned a little money, and when they come back, they spend a lot of time drinking and drinking, even forgetting their last names.

The old people in the village don't like this kind of person. On the contrary, Yang Zhenyu's simple personality likes the old people.

"Zhenyu, do you dare to compare with your mother-in-law Yang?" Yang Caixia picked up Baogu and said.

"Mabaogu?" Yang Zhenyu smiled and said, "Grandma Yang, I will let you two first, otherwise grandma will say that I bully you."

Wang Xiuying smiled and criticized: "Why did you talk to your Granny Yang, it's not big or small."

Yang Caixia smiled and said: "Old sister, I like Zhenyu talking to me like this, it sounds very kind.

Okay, Zhenyu, ten buds, you let me have two, whoever finishes hemp first will win. "

She also intentionally reminded Yang Zhenyu, "Your grandma was my defeat back then."

Yang Zhenyu looked at the two old men and said with a smile, "Grandma, I will avenge you this time."

"Grandma Yang, you start first." Yang Zhenyu humbly said.

Although Yang Caixia has been busy all afternoon, but when she gets serious, her speed is quite fast.

She, who has been peeling corn for decades, has a lot of experience and knows how to save effort and speed up.

Yang Zhenyu watched Yang Caixia finish peeling two, and then he started too. The young man used all his strength to peel off one in a few strokes.

Yang Zhenyu's speed was getting faster and faster, but after all, Yang Caixia was getting old and couldn't keep up with her physical strength, so she gradually slowed down.

When the last two were left, Yang Zhenyu also intentionally slowed down, watched Yang Caixia clean the last corn, raised his hand and smiled, "Grandma Yang, you won."

Yang Caixia's face was covered with a lot of sweat, she smiled and said, "Zhenyu, how is it? Is your mother-in-law Yang good? Are you convinced?"

"Convince, take it with all your heart!" Yang Zhenyu handed over a dry towel, "Wipe it off."

Yang Caixia was full of smiles, happy like a child, she also knew that Yang Zhenyu deliberately let the water go, but she enjoyed the feeling that the junior let her win.

After resting for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Yang Zhenyu went into the house and brought out a watermelon and handed it to Yang Caixia, "Grandma Yang, take a watermelon back to eat. There are some left in the field that are not sold out. I am going to ask Sister Mao to come and get it yesterday." gone."

Yang Caixia took the watermelon and said with a smile: "Okay, my old lady will not be polite."

Wang Xiuying stood up and said, "Sister, I'll see you off."

"Sister, no need, you go back and rest."

Wang Xiuying chased after her, "Walk a few steps with you."

The two old men walked towards the setting sun with staggering steps.
