hunting in 1986

Chapter 47
Grandma Man has been brooding over the fact that she failed to get a date last time, so she told him another one now.

After agreeing to go on a blind date, Grandma Man chatted with Father Wang and Mother Wang for a while, and then left.

The next day.

Wang Yuan was still in a daze before he woke up, when his mother yelled that she forgot to tuck the cotton trousers into the quilt last night, and when she put them on in the morning, hiss~ that ice.

Instantly no sleepiness.

"Hurry up, go on a blind date, you can't just go on a blind date like this."

"Huh? I think I look pretty."

"Come on, you." Mama Wang boiled hot water, asked him to wash his hair, and found a set of clothes with fewer patches for him to wear.

Breakfast is big porridge, pancakes and pickles, snoring~ After breakfast, the warmth in the stomach spreads to the whole body, and the person can be regarded as alive.

This time the blind date Wang's father didn't go. It was agreed with Grandma Man yesterday, because the woman's father was not at home, and the woman's mother followed.

creak creak ~
The wheels ran over the snow, and Wang Yuan drove his mother to the countryside. The slightly melted snow froze after a night, and there was a layer of ice on the road.

Looking around, the trees in the distance, the roads nearby, and the ditches are all covered with snow. At first glance, it feels very beautiful, and it becomes boring after seeing more.

bell bell~
After passing a few slow-moving ox carts, I arrived in the village not long after, parked my bicycle, stood timidly at the gate of the township government for a while, and then saw two bicycles coming from the west.

After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He had seen the latter before, she was the elder sister of the two girls whose bicycle chain fell off last time.

The latter was wearing a gray cotton jacket, a large pink scarf, and a relatively small cotton hat.

"Li Yan" also recognized Wang Yuan, glanced at him instantly, and then blushed slightly.

After Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li greeted each other, she asked Wang Yuan and Li Yan to talk. There was a distance of more than one meter between them and they pressed the road. After a full minute of silence, Li Yan whispered: "Thank you for your help last time." Let's fix the car."

"Ah, it's just a little effort."

Then there was another silence.

The cold wind blew the crushed snow, and Wang Yuan shrank his hands and feet in the cold. After looking at Li Yan for a long time, he finally choked out a sentence: "You are so beautiful."

Li Yan is not a peerless beauty, but she can be called a beauty. She is really tall and almost as tall as Wang Yuan.

"Pfft~"

Li Yan laughed instantly, her pretty face was flushed and she didn't know what to say, and finally she could only say: "Actually... I'm pretty ugly, but my sister is pretty."

"They're all beautiful, and beauty doesn't come in one form."

Li Yan's younger sister has an oval face, but Li Yan is not an oval face.

"By the way, do you have any plans for the future?" Wang Yuan asked suddenly, last time Xu Yao asked him a similar question.

"Plans for the future?"

A look of confusion flashed across Li Yan's eyes, but she quickly said:
"Just farm the land well. Does your village have wasteland? Anyway, our village has wasteland, open up more wasteland, and raise some chickens, ducks, pigs...

Raise a few more pigs, pork is too expensive now, as long as you are not particularly lazy, life will definitely get better and better.

It is said that a person in the customs has 2 mu of land. It is different outside the customs. As long as you are willing to do it, you can open up dozens of mu of land with ease. "

The more you talk about it, the brighter the light in Li Yan's eyes is, it's a longing for the future, it's hope.Life is hard, but it seems less bitter with hope.

"It's a good idea."

"What about you, what do you think?" Li Yan glanced at Wang Yuan, she felt that the latter was not bad, and she was the type she liked.

"I... I probably won't be farming."

"Why?" Li Yan frowned instantly, and her pace couldn't help slowing down. She couldn't help but think of her incomprehensible father.

"I feel that there is no way out for purely human farming. The ceiling is there. I feel that the production will not increase much if people are exhausted." Wang Yuan shook his head and smiled:
"I feel that the only way out of farming is like on Tieli Farm, where rotary tillers, seeders, harvesters, and tractors are all on board, and pesticides are sprayed by airplanes..."

Wang Yuan talked eloquently, and Li Yan couldn't help but listened obsessively. Is this what farming is like?

"I've never been to the city, the farm... I heard my dad talk about the farm, and he said that the farm is big and big."

"Of course it's big. Our Tieli Farm in Lindu has 36 mu of land, while Jiayin Farm has a larger area of ​​75 mu of land. It not only has a large area of ​​cultivated land, but also forest farms, water surfaces, and grasslands. ...

Of course, among the many farms under the jurisdiction of the Great Northern Wilderness Group, the area is not too large, it can only be considered average. I remember that the Great Northern Wilderness Group has a total of more than 4000 million mu of cultivated land, and in addition to that, there are more than 1000 million mu of forest land , and grass fields and the like. "Wang Yuan laughed.

He saw Li Yan in a daze, and found it very interesting.

"Hiss~" Li Yan took a slight breath. She had only heard people talk about the farm before, and her impression was that it was quite big, but she had no impression of the exact size.

Is it really that big?

Kind of scary!

"So much land... who does it belong to?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"It belongs to the state, not to individuals." Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The Beidahuang Group is a wholly state-owned central enterprise, and its land is of course the state's. A lot of rice, noodles, and oil eaten in cities and provincial capitals come from farms. of."

……

After a long time, Li Yan's heart calmed down, and she asked: "We rural people don't farm land, so what do you want to do?"

"Doing a small business, and occasionally hunting, should be much better than planting those lands." Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I collected pine nuts a while ago, and I should be able to make some money by selling the pine nuts."

"Ok?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, looking straight at Wang Yuan.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" Wang Yuan touched his flushed cheeks and nose, it was really too cold, much colder than later generations.

"No, it turned out that you harvested pine nuts! Many people in our village heard that someone harvested pine nuts, but they didn't come to our village to collect them, and the next village harvested them. We also peeled the pine nuts and carried them to the next village on bicycles. Sell."

Li Yan was stunned. She didn't expect to meet the owner of the pine nut harvester.

Wang Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and then asked, "How much did you sell for?"

Li Yan looked down, and Ai Ai said: "It's sold... for 16 yuan and sixty-five cents, which is enough for the Chinese New Year."

"Hey, that's a lot. How about more than 160 catties of pine nuts?"

"I heard that the neighboring village gave claws with teeth, which made it easier to climb the tree. We couldn't climb the tree without it, and we couldn't hit much with a long pole. In the end, we went to dig out the squirrel's nest, which was too slow. "

"Ok?"

It turns out that most of the 160 catties of pine nuts are food for the squirrels to spend the winter. Well, I will observe a minute of silence for the squirrels.
