Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 221 Planting Vegetables and Watering at the Foot of the Mountain

Gao Mingcheng and the others returned to Gaojia Village around five o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw only a few people here and there, some with some injuries on their bodies, and there was already some water in the rice fields beside the road, and the growth of the rice was not bad for the time being.

Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng knew that the fight for water should have come to an end.

Fighting for water is something that has happened in rural areas since ancient times. Once there is a lack of water, this kind of incident will happen. It is okay to fight for water in their village. Unless they are not careful, they will not kill people.

I am most afraid of the kind of two villages fighting for water. Once they strike, they are often deadly. Killing people is a common thing.

When passing through the old village, they had to return the leftover clothes to Gao Shouwang's family, and they had to settle the accounts face to face.

This batch of clothes was not bought by many Americans, but bought and sold directly from Gao Shouwang's house. It was a test of the waters in the county.

As for how much to sell, it will be distributed to many Mei according to a certain percentage, as sales wages.

Seeing them coming back, Dong Feixia was most concerned, and immediately called Duomei to her face. Several women gathered together and began chattering about selling goods.

Many beauty took out the rest of the goods, and took another notebook with a lot of bills written on it. This was written for her by Gao Mingcheng.

Corresponding to the bill, he took out the money in the bag and counted it.

"A lot of money!" Gao Shufang couldn't help exclaiming, and the other young girls were also extremely excited when they saw this.

The goods sold in the county this time are the most fashionable and the most expensive fabrics, so the selling price is also more expensive, but the purchasing power of the county is really far greater than that of the small market. For women who love beauty, once they fancy No matter which piece of clothing, you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

The women were talking about selling clothes, and Duomei also excitedly told everyone about her process and experience in selling clothes, which attracted everyone to listen with great interest.

Gao Shouwang called Gao Mingcheng aside, and said: "Just yesterday, there was a riot in the village, and many people fought. Gao Fuqiang's family was the most violent. Several brothers from his family went up together, and several Everyone was injured, and finally his family fought for water, and it was the turn of others after his field was flooded."

"The position of my field is considered good. Even if I don't fight, it will be my turn, but the position of your one-acre field is not so good. Before it's your turn, there will be no water in the reservoir!"

"Mingcheng, you have to be mentally prepared to cut production."

Gao Shouwang said earnestly.

Gao Mingcheng was silent for a few seconds. He had expected this result.

Some people's fields are in a good position. Once water is released, their fields are the first to receive water. But how much water you enter and where the water goes after entering, you can talk about it.

If Gao Mingcheng fought, even if the position of his field was not good, he wouldn't lose his turn, but he didn't fight.

"It's okay, it's not bad." Gao Mingcheng said.

Gao Shouwang also nodded, and his family didn't go to fight, because it's not easy to fight. His family has opened a garment factory, and if they fight with the villagers for a little profit, their reputation will be bad.

The same is true for Gao Mingcheng. He avoids it because he is afraid of accidentally hurting someone, and his family's life is well visible in the village. Fighting for water for an acre of land seems small.

After learning about yesterday's situation from Gao Shouwang, Gao Mingcheng went home first.

Many beauty is in high spirits right now, and will be reluctant to leave for a while.

When he got home, the two dogs came up to him and played with him affectionately.

When Gao Mingcheng saw that the bullpen was still empty, he knew that Zhang Chengyuan hadn't brought back the cattle and sheep.

However, when he looked past the vegetable field in front, he saw a familiar figure beside the pond, who was carrying water, with a serious expression and steady steps.

Recognizing it was Zhang Chengyuan, he stepped forward.

Zhang Chengyuan carried water from the pond at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain.

Xiaofushan was contracted by Gao Mingcheng, and he paid for the pond to be dug out, so the pond is his private property.

Although it was dry during this period, because there were springs under the pond, the water level was still stable and did not dry up.

When he got closer, Gao Mingcheng found that Zhang Chengyuan's body was covered with mud, as if he had rolled in the mud of a pond.

"Brother, did you fall?" Gao Mingcheng asked curiously.

Zhang Chengyuan looked up and saw him, with a somewhat cautious expression, and said, "I was catching fish in the reservoir just now, but someone pushed me down."

It was said before that the reservoir was running out of water. It didn’t mean that it had completely bottomed out, but that there was only a bottom left, and the water could not be drained to the fields through ditches.

Less water means more fish, so the villagers have been catching fish in the reservoir for the past two days. When the big fish are gone, they can catch small fish. When the small fish are gone, they can also pick up clam shells.

Freshwater mussels do not produce pearls, but the meat can be eaten. After cleaning and frying with chili peppers, the taste is not bad. However, mussels that are too old may not be chewed.

Gao Mingcheng asked who pushed it down. If it was pushed down maliciously, he had to come to the door and talk about it.

Zhang Chengyuan didn't say who pushed it down, but said: "It was accidentally pushed down, it's not a big deal."

Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng didn't say much.

"Put down the bucket, I'll water the vegetables myself, you go to the pond to take a bath, and then go back to rest earlier!" Gao Mingcheng said, Zhang Chengyuan looked too embarrassed, so let him go back to rest.

But Zhang Chengyuan did not go to take a bath and rest, but said: "You don't know where the cattle and sheep are kept, I will go and bring them back now."

"Row!"

So Gao Mingcheng took over the burden and watered his vegetable field, while Zhang Chengyuan went to other places to bring back the cattle and sheep.

His family also grows a lot of vegetables. With watering every morning and evening, the growth is not bad, but the cucumber and long beans are almost out of season, and they have stopped blooming and fruiting, and the leaves of the vines are gradually drying up.

There is no need to water this one. When you are free someday, just remove the shelf, or just leave it like this, anyway, it is not yet time to plant winter vegetables.

Gao Mingcheng watered the peppers and observed the growth of the peppers. Peppers love aphids the most. Once a tree grows aphids, other pepper trees will grow too.

But nature is fair, aphids will destroy plants, but seven-star ladybugs will eat aphids.This is the so-called one thing down one thing.

Although there are some insects in his chili vegetable field, it is not yet time for flooding.

However, I haven't picked chili peppers for a few days. The trees are full of chili peppers, and many chili peppers are already red.

Once the pepper is red, it must be picked immediately, otherwise the pepper tree will not continue to bloom and bear fruit, and the red pepper can be dried and stored for winter, or it can be made into chopped peppers.

In winter, the villagers will start cooking side dishes. There are many kinds of side dishes, including spicy dried radish, grapefruit peel, vegetable stems, and onions.Among them, chopped peppers and pickled onions are quite refreshing to eat with rice.

While watering, Gao Mingcheng picked off the broken peppers first. Some peppers were eaten by insects, and some were rotten on the branches.

On the side of the pepper, there is a large piece of eggplant. The people on their side are used to planting like this. Basically, you can definitely see the eggplant next to the pepper. It is a side dish.

As soon as Gao Mingcheng watered the rest of the vegetable field, he saw Zhang Chengyuan came back with the cattle and sheep. He first led the cattle and sheep back to the cattle pen in the yard and locked them up. Then he walked to the pond and began to take off Clothes for a bath.

Now that there is no water in the reservoir, bathing has become a luxury.
