Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 4 Fortunately, there is still a mobile phone

He Ping cleaned up the dishes and was finally free.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket.

The season he travels to is the same as now, it is the beginning of spring.He was wearing a jacket on the upper body, a pair of jeans and sneakers on the lower body.

The mobile phone was placed in the pocket of the jacket, and the surface was dry. He Ping tried to press the power button, and it turned on.

Very good!
He Ping opened the address book and was just about to try to call his wife, only to find that there was no signal at all.

well!He Ping comforted himself, stop holding unrealistic ideas, and accept the fact of time travel.

Before He Ping's grief was over, the screen of the phone went black, and it was probably turned on forcibly just now, and it ran out of battery after less than a minute.

Fortunately, the charger is also in his pocket. Unfortunately, there is no charging place. Yesterday He Ping observed that there is no socket in the old captain’s house. It is estimated that no one in the whole village will have one. But I just went to the brigade house While taking things, he caught a glimpse of an outlet in the team room for charging.

Knowing where to charge He Ping is at ease. This mobile phone can be said to be the only household appliance in He Ping's family at present.As for He Ping, he believes that his production capacity and income-generating capacity in this era are close to zero.

He Ping got up early because he was woken up by the red songs played from the big speakers on the electric poles at the head of the village. People get up really early these days, and the sky outside is still only twilight.

He Ping put on his clothes and made breakfast, and his ability to adapt was very strong. In less than two days, he was already very proficient at cooking.

Today is the first day of work, I have to go to the old captain first, the work has not been arranged yet.

After breakfast, the sky is bright, "Why is it so slow?"

He was late for work on the first day, and the old team leader complained, after all, he might not be used to it when he first arrived.

He Ping and the old captain came to the country of Han Zhaoguo. Han Zhaoguo is the eldest son of Han Yuzheng, and there are two sons of Han Zhaojun and Han Zhaoshe.

"It's the beginning of spring, today you are out with everyone. Your clothes... just deal with it first, the team is not rich right now."

He Ping did not expect that on the first day of work in the production team, the job he received would be so fecal and smelly.

You can kill me!

He Ping had seen adults do this work when he was a child, but he had never experienced it before. This time he made up for his childhood regrets.

Every spring, the production team will organize labor to clean up the manure in the livestock pens raised by the production team. This process is called "manure removal".

The livestock manure cleared from the pens will be piled up into a large pile, and after a period of drying, it will be manually broken into fine particles. This process is called "sand manure".

Then organize labor and send it to the field.At that time, you can see that there are people carrying manure baskets everywhere on the dirt roads and fields in the village. The manpower is mainly used to transport the manure. This process is called "carrying manure".The dung is carried in a basket made of twigs, with ropes and a sleeve on one shoulder, which is similar to a soldier's backpack. A dung basket can hold 80 to 100 catties of dung.

In the early spring, the first thing every morning for the labor force of the whole brigade is to excrete, sand, and carry excrement.

Forced by the physical discomfort, He Ping put on water boots and stepped into the pigsty cautiously.

Seeing He Ping's face as if he was facing a formidable enemy, the villagers who were excreting next to him laughed and said, "Young man, can you do it, don't spit us all over!"

When I didn't come in, I could still stand it. When I came in, I felt the soft and muddy pig manure under my feet, as well as the disgusting smell.He Ping doesn't have the time to talk to people.

I just vomited.

He vomited before finishing work, and the neighbors who were excreting excrement burst into laughter when they saw this.

"Why did you spit it out?"

"Children in the city are spoiled, and this is not waiting for work."

……

He Ping was helped out of the pigsty, what a shame for Jill!He felt ashamed to meet people, but he couldn't control this physical reaction.

Han Zhaoguo hurriedly helped He Ping out of the pigsty.

"Thank you, Brother Zhaoguo."

"You take your time outside first. Dongmei, go and pour some hot water for Xiao He."

Han Zhaoguo's wife Ma Dongmei put down the shovel in her hand and went into the house to pour a bowl of hot water for He Ping.

"Okay, don't watch the excitement, hurry up and work." Han Zhaoguo coaxed away the neighbors who were watching the excitement, and continued to work.

He Ping knew that the person who spoke just now did not have any malicious intentions, but because of the living environment, he did not understand why He Ping vomited.

He sat aside and calmed down, watching everyone wield their shovels and clear out the pig manure one by one. He gradually felt less disgusting. This thing still needs to get used to it.

After about ten minutes, He Ping had prepared his mind and stepped into the pigsty again. This time he performed well, at least he could wield a shovel, although he was still in a cautious posture.

Everyone saw that He Ping was working normally, so they didn't pay much attention to him.

It didn't take long for He Ping to get used to the environment in the pigsty, but the subsequent physical fatigue made him even more uncomfortable.

How many years have not done this kind of pure physical labor.

He Ping leaned on the handle of a shovel to rest, and everyone around him was still hard at work. Why did it feel like everyone had endless energy.

Everyone around was working hard, and He Ping was too embarrassed to take a rest, so he just went on and on for the whole morning.

After the morning work was over, everyone went home to prepare breakfast. Only then did He Ping realize that everyone went to work first and then had breakfast, which was the exact opposite of him.

Anyway, breakfast was finished, so He Ping simply rested in Han Zhaoguo's country, and chatted with Han Zhaoguo and his wife.

He remembered the little Zhu'er he met that day, so he asked.

Speaking of Xiao Zhu'er, Han Zhaoguo couldn't help but sigh, and his wife Ma Dongmei cursed in a low voice: "It's not something that people beat up!"

He Ping was curious, seeing that there must be a story behind the couple's reaction, it would be great if there was a handful of melon seeds at this time.

"It's a long story..."

It turned out that Xiao Zhuer's father was also an educated youth who came to Hantun to jump in the queue, named Qi Dongqiang.While working, I met Liu Jiahui, the daughter of the old Liu family, and the two fell in love freely. At first, the two elderly people did not agree with this marriage.

Qi Dongqiang's family felt that the child would go back to the city sooner or later, and finding a rural daughter-in-law was a good idea. Those who didn't know thought that the son of the old Qi family could not find a wife.Liu Jiahui's parents died early in his family, and there were only two brothers and sisters. His brother was also worried that Qi Dongqiang would abandon Liu Jiahui if he returned to the city in the future.

Unexpectedly, the two young people ate the forbidden fruit. After having a child, the two families had no choice but to agree to their marriage.
