The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 9

Throughout the morning, the breeding area was busy building roads.

After lunch, the three chicken farmers who were going to leave the chickens tonight checked it several times with iron catalpa and shovels to make sure that the carts would not get stuck in the pit and could not get out, so they were relieved.But Wang Shaodong asked his uncle to catch a lot of grasshoppers on the mountain, weighing more than two catties.

Around six o'clock in the afternoon, the helpers invited by the three chicken farmers came to Wang Shaodong's house one after another.

In the countryside, if a family needs help with anything, as long as they are not too personable, most of them will call for help.

Originally, Wang Fumin had a hard time finding helpers, but in the afternoon, the laborers who hadn't gone out to work in the village heard that the breeding area needed a lot of helpers tonight, so they volunteered to come here.

The common people in the countryside spare no effort, and when others ask for help, they never push back.

The people in Taohualing Village are very simple, and they don't have much rhetoric. If anyone needs help, they didn't talk much in the past, and they rolled up their sleeves to do it.

Originally, Wang Fumin and Ma Zhentang had said that they might not be able to make up three tables at night, but in the end there were more than four tables.

There are ten people at a table, and there are more than forty people at these four tables. Now the three chicken farmers are walking together tonight, and they can finally be busy.

In fact, there are only so many male laborers in Taohualing Village who have not gone out to work.Seeing so many villagers come to help from home, Wang Shaodong was very moved.

People in the countryside are more united than in the city, but whenever there is a big or small affair, the countryside is always more lively than the city, which is one of the reasons why Wang Shaodong prefers the countryside.

Today's dinner was borne by the three chicken farmers, but anyone who drank their three wines and ate their three dishes would basically stay and help.Even some introverts don't eat the food and drinks of the three of them, and when they get busy, they will come to help.Even sometimes those who don't eat work harder than those who eat the main food.

The thoughts of the rural people are very simple. When your family is in trouble, I will come to help. When our family is in need, I hope you can come to help.

Because there were four tables in the banquet, which could not be set up in the courtyard of Wang Shaodong's house, two of them were transferred to Ma Zhentang's house.

In 2002, the price of a table of rural household dishes was only 120 yuan. There were big pots and bowls, chicken, fish, and elbows. In the first year, the helpers served happily.

The six banquets cost less than 600 yuan in total, and the average family cost less than 200 yuan.This cost saves a lot of money compared to directly hiring a professional chicken catching team. There is a chicken catching team in Daliu Village, Beishidian Township, Tainan City, which specializes in catching chickens for large cart farmers. Dime money, the Wang family has two thousand chickens, and if they are hired, they will cost 600 yuan.If it is said that the Wang family will raise more chickens in the future, and the chickens will go away frequently, it will be a little embarrassing to bother the folks in the village.And now it's the first time to walk the chicken, and the villagers also want to join in the fun, everyone eats and drinks together, and they are all happy.

Because they had to stay up late at night to work, everyone drank this wine leisurely, and the feast was over before eight o'clock in the evening.

As soon as the banquet was over, the poker game began immediately.

The Wang family, the Ma family and the He family each opened a table with six players playing cards and more people watching the fun.

Ma Lili was not at her own house to join in the fun, and now she ran to Wang Shaodong's house, gave Wang Shaodong a handful of melon seeds, and dragged Wang Shaodong to the archway at the head of the village.

Following Ma Lili, Wang Shaodong ran to the head of the village in one breath. He looked up at the stars in the sky, leaned against the archway, and looked at Ma Lili who was also leaning on the pillar of the archway on the other side.

"Why don't you wait at home?"

This archway has been around for some years. Legend has it that the emperor erected it in honor of a widowed grandmother in the village for many years. However, the stone tablet recording the life of the old lady was smashed down and repaired the river weir when the four old ones were broken. It was easy to start and stayed.

"The noise at home is making my head explode."

Saying that, Ma Lili jumped back and sat on the stone pier at the base of the archway.Seeing this, Wang Shaodong also sat on another stone pier.Four huge stone pillars constitute the main structure of the landmark building in Taohualing Village.

"Are you afraid of the excitement?" Wang Shaodong frowned.

Wang Shaodong is also afraid of the excitement, he is afraid of the crowded traffic and the constant sound of horns in the city, he is afraid of the buses stacked like arhats, he is afraid of the old men and women fighting in the supermarket when they are holding activities...he is afraid of the excitement in the city, the excitement itself Like a frightened child, flustered and helpless.However, he was not afraid of the excitement in the countryside at all. On the contrary, it made him feel kind and at ease, and felt that this was the life he wanted.

Therefore, when Ma Lili said that she was panicked, Wang Shaodong was a little flustered.He has always regarded this girl as the girl he will marry in this life, and he intends to live in this rural area for the rest of his life. Could it be that Ma Lili will not like life in the rural areas in the future?

Ma Lili seemed to be frowning too, the night was very dark today, Wang Shaodong couldn't look carefully, but he guessed from Ma Lili, who had been silent for a long time, that the other party should be frowning and thinking about his own problems now.

"I, I didn't hate other people being lively in my house before, but I don't know what's wrong today, I always feel panicked."

When Wang Shaodong heard it, his eyes rolled, and he understood seven or eight points in his heart.In the previous life, when I was in college, I heard Han Kang say that Ma Lili liked me all the time when she was in high school, but I didn't think much of it at the time.Looking at it now, Ma Lili's flustered heart must not be because of the excitement at home, but because she likes things about herself.

Thinking of this, Wang Shaodong leaned against the stone pillars of the archway and smiled slightly.

"Well, Lili, I want to ask you something, can you answer me truthfully?" There was a malicious smile on Wang Shaodong's face, but Ma Lili definitely couldn't see it, the night is too hazy tonight.

Without waiting for Wang Shaodong to ask a question, Ma Lili suddenly jumped down from the stone pier, pointed to the road around the hill to the west and said, "Shaodong, here we come!"

First one, followed by another, and finally six large cars with super high beams appeared on the road leading to Taohualing Village.

It was the chicken cart that came, Wang Shaodong didn't care about the wind and flowers, and hurriedly said: "Go back and inform them, I'll wait for them to come here, and lead them there."

The chicken convoy came, and the chicken farmers also came with their money, and Wang Shaodong laughed.
