Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 237 The Quietly Started Pastoral Life
Things are done very simply, without so much red tape.

All Lu Lu could do was to greet everyone to eat and drink well.

However, he had achieved his goal. He announced his marriage to Chen Xiuyu to let everyone know. As for what they think and how they love each other, Lu Lv doesn't care.

It is enough to have a few people worthy of friendship, such as Uncle Wang, Zhang Shaofeng, Zhou Cuifen, Aunt Duan, Wang Dalong, Liang Kangbo, and a few militia brothers.

There is no need for everyone to agree with my current approach that seems to be unique.

Originally, it was just to thank the group of people who helped to find Chen Xiuyu, and to get together to have fun together.

In fact, it's the norm that things have nothing to do with oneself, and many people don't care what Lu Lu does here, and it's not their own business.

Therefore, after eating and drinking happily, half of the people left beforehand, and most of the remaining people didn't focus on Lu Lu's marriage.

They walked around Lu Lulu's meadow, looked at the completed fence and the sika deer in it, the women had a close relationship with each other, the women pulled Chen Xiuyu to talk, and the men also got together with Lu Lu, chatting about everything, By the way, I asked about Lu Lu's future plans.

Then, their attention was attracted by the neighing of the chasing wind on the meadow.

Chasing the wind is riding a horse!
Two of the horse-drawn carriages came to help, and two of them used mares, which were more gentle. It was for them that Zhuifeng and several stallions chased on the meadow for a long time. After showing their strength, they got what they wanted.

Don't look at Zhuifeng who is still a bit skinny in a group of horses, but Hanwei is not inferior to any horse, showing the demeanor of a king and extremely domineering.

For that meal in the evening, there were quite a few people who came back to eat.

Lu Lu also accompanied a few people who got along well, drank a table, but still carefully controlled the amount of alcohol, not to let himself get drunk.

After seeing off those who came over for the wedding banquet, rewarding those who were helpful, and leaving, Caodianzi became quiet again.

Here, Lu Lu still received some gift money. In the years of three or five yuan for a banquet, the total money received was only more than 100 yuan, which was carefully recorded on the red paper and kept carefully. These will be returned in the future. of.

"I saw my mother today, so I hid in the opposite woods and peeked for a while before going back!"

After Chen Xiuyu counted and kept the gift money received, she and Lu Lu sat on the open space in front of the meadow in the setting sun, enjoying the evening breeze.

"I saw it too!"

Lu Lu said with a smile: "When Qingzi went back, I specially asked him to bring some delicious food and drink...it will gradually get better in the future."

"En!" Chen Xiuyu nodded.

The sky was getting dark, and after feeding Zhuifeng and Yuanbao, the two also went back to the cellar, and they turned off the lights and went to bed early in the thought of burning the lamp to waste oil.

After several days of running and tossing, both of them felt a little tired.

The next day happened to be the fair in the district. Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu went to the fair together, bought some things they needed to go home, and specially picked out a set of clothes for Chen Xiuqing and Ma Jinlan.

On the third day, the young couple took their things to Xiushantun early.

He greeted everyone he met along the way, and went straight to Chen Xiuqing's house.

Hearing the door call, Chen Xiuqing walked out quickly and shouted happily: "Brother Lu, sister, you are here!"

He knew that Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were going back and forth, so he waited at home all the time, and started busy preparing meals early in the morning.

"How is it?" Lu Lu glanced at the room where Ma Jinlan was, and asked Chen Xiuqing.

"What can I do? Just stay at home alone and get sulking... You don't know, I have been eating and drinking by myself for the past two days, and I am alone when I eat. Sister, after you leave, I feel that there is only one person at home. I'm left alone."

Chen Xiuqing said with a wry smile: "Mom is also angry with me and ignores me."

"You mean our mother hasn't eaten for the past few days?" Chen Xiuyu was a little worried.

"On the second day after you and Brother Lu went to the district to get the certificate, she didn't eat or drink at home. In the next few days, although she didn't eat with me, I came back to see. After I went to the mountains to practice guns, she I still made my own food."

Chen Xiuqing lowered her voice and snickered when she said this: "I think she also ate candies and pastries...it's okay!"

Hearing this, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu looked at each other and laughed.

After entering the house, Chen Xiuyu helped prepare the meals, and the two went to the door of Ma Jinlan's room to ask her to come out for dinner, but they didn't get a response. They had no choice but to eat together.

After eating, Chen Xiuqing planned to go into the mountains to practice shooting and sneaking away. Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu also left early.

They went to see Mrs. Duan again, and then went back to the cellar.

The black bees raised in the meadow began to segregate the next day.

During this period of time, Lu Lu has been paying attention. When the bees were being sorted, he started guarding early, and by the way, shoveled off the grease from the stinky roe deer skins. After cleaning, they were stretched to dry in the shade.

Wang Yan still came to cook for Wang Dalong and the others every day, and Chen Xiuyu also helped Zhang Luo, and by the way, took time off with Lu Lu to open up land by the Caodianzi River for growing vegetables.

There is no other way to deal with food now, and we have to buy it, but we can grow vegetables by ourselves, all we need is a piece of land.

Near the small river, the black soil on the grass was turned over, the weeds and grass roots inside were shaken off, and an area of ​​about half an acre was dug out.

Chen Xiuyu took a small train to the district, bought a lot of seeds and came back to start sowing.

It is close to the small river, and it is convenient to water. Every morning and evening, you can see her splashing water with a wooden bucket.

The weather got hot, but it didn't work for a few days. In the newly opened fields, various vegetable seedlings began to emerge.

In the past few days, Lu Lu's swarms of black bees scattered into dozens of swarms, and at most, five swarms naturally formed in one day.

In addition, two swarms of bees appeared in the idle beehive.

All of a sudden, out of more than 20 honeycomb buckets produced by Lu Lu, only two were free.

Dividing the bees will inevitably weaken the swarm, but Lu Lu believes that it will not take long for these bee swarms to grow rapidly. By next year, artificial intervention to divide the bees will double the number of bees again under the condition that the swarms are strong. Doubles are perfectly fine, and, by then, it's time to produce honey.

The little bee farm suddenly became lively.

Lu Lu likes to stand in the bee farm and watch the bees come out of the hive door and fly to the mountains, and also watch the bees who are full of nectar and bees returning with all kinds of pollen.

Hard work and harvest are vividly displayed on these black bees.

The linden tree flowers were quietly blooming, and every night in the cellar, besides Chen Xiuyu's body fragrance, there was also the scent of the linden tree next door.

The two of them are like other ordinary couples, going back and forth to the fields every day, the corn seedlings are already green all over the ground, of course, there are also weeds that can never be eradicated in the green, and there are also a lot of duckweed and weeds in the paddy fields .

Weeding and weeding, the couple worked in the field for more than ten days, talking and laughing to solve the matter.

A kind of pastoral life that seems to be hard work, but which Lu Lu feels is very leisurely, quietly unfolds in Lu Lu's life in this life, which seems so comfortable.

The dirt road connecting Caodianzi to the outer road has been repaired with the efforts of Wang Dalong and others. A temporary wooden bridge has been erected on the small river with thick logs. It is planned to re-build the bridge piers when the stones are pulled in. More durable arch bridges.

Then, they started to bring in their own livestock, and kept transporting the red pine trees that had been cut down and dried on the hillside for more than a month to the meadow.

That night, just before work, Wang Dalong handed Lu Lu a child's homework book.

He said with a smile: "My niece Wang Yan helped me to remember, who worked every day, how many days I worked, the wages spent during this period, and miscellaneous expenses such as buying nails and oil, etc. It's all up there."

Lu Lu took it over and looked it over. A homework notebook was filled with pencil notes.

Wang Yan and Chen Xiuyu's crooked handwriting was comparable, and Lu Lu couldn't help laughing.

After reading the accounts summarized at the end, Lu Lu returned the book to Wang Dalong.

Of course he knew what Wang Dalong meant, the expenses were not enough, he was too embarrassed to speak up, so he could only use this more tactful method.

"I told Xiuyu at night that I will prepare the money for you tomorrow."

So many people ate with Wang Dalong, no matter how determined Wang Dalong was, he couldn't handle it.

"When all the wood is dragged in, we will start to build the foundation of the wood carving. A lot of sand and stone are needed. This requires a car to help pull it, and the cost is not small. If you use a horse-drawn cart, it will not only be slower, but also cost more .” Wang Dalong suggested.

At this time, the private owner had almost no cars, so he had to ask for a loan. Lu Lu thought for a while, he really didn't know any drivers who drove cars, and the few he knew in his previous life didn't have cars now.

However, there should be one in the nearby forest farm.

Trucks are rare, and drivers are also very popular. For ordinary people, let alone driving, being able to sit in the cab feels extremely happy.

"Brother Wang, do you know any driver who can borrow the car?"

As a well-known craftsman in Huilongtun, he has built quite a few houses and met many types of people. Wang Dalong should know him. If it is not possible, he has to find Zhang Shaofeng or Wang Demin. I know.

If it doesn't work, then ask them to apply and go to the team in the district to pay for a car.

"There is a boy named Meng Zhaohua in our village who works as a driver in the Xiangshuixi Forest Farm. I asked about it. He needs a lot of money. He needs to arrange with the forest farm to drive the car."

After Wang Dalong finished speaking, he waited for Lu Lu's decision.

"Let's get more. The basic materials used can't pull many carts, that is, three or four days can be enough. You can measure the materials and how much it will cost, just ask Xiuyu to get them. Brother Wang, I have nothing to worry about when you do things. If things are done well, money is not a problem.”

After the decision was made, Wang Dalong led a group of people back from work.

Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuyu who was watering the vegetable fields by the small river, and also helped to carry the water, thinking that building a ditch around the vegetable fields would save a lot of energy.

After watering the vegetable field, the two returned to the cellar to cook together. During the meal, Lu Lu asked, "Daughter-in-law, how much money do we have?"

Without even thinking about it, Chen Xiuyu said directly: "There is still 730 seven five yuan."

After a simple wedding, more than [-] yuan was collected as gift money, but Chen Xiuqing spent some money on the matter left by Ma Jinlan, which has been returned to Chen Xiuqing, and some money was spent when returning home. In addition to the expenses of these days, a lot was used up.

Even though Chen Xiuyu was trying to save money, she still couldn't control the reduction.

"Next, we will need a lot to build wood carvings. We have to work hard to make money. I will go to the mountains tomorrow..." Lu Lv quickly made a decision.

　Thank you book friend Fengye Fengye for your reward!
