Chapter 272

Time passed day by day, and it was five or three years in a blink of an eye.

For several years in a row, the weather has been smooth and the harvest has been bumper. The folks in Maixiang Village have a better life day by day, because the annual increase in grain production has attracted the attention of the county. The combination of intercropping and crop rotation in Maixiang Village, It was also published on the newspaper, and Wang Zhong's name also appeared on it.

Wang Zhong's prestige in Maixiang Village has also been pushed to another level. He is also famous in the county, and he is a figure who is praised by everyone in the city.

Seeing that the spring irrigation was coming soon, Wang Zhong also got busy, checking the irrigation canals, weir ponds and water trucks, every once in a while, it was Wang Zhong's indispensable work.

"President, you really don't have any skills. It's been four or five years, and this waterwheel is still so strong!" Lao Ganbang looked at the waterwheel in front of him and said sincerely.

"Okay, stop flattering, hurry up and overhaul, the spring irrigation will start tomorrow, don't let me lose the chain." Wang Zhong said with a serious face.

The whole body of this waterwheel is made of mortise and tenon, without a single nail, and it has been painted with anti-corrosion paint. Although it has been used for four or five years and exposed to the wind and sun all day, it is still very strong overall and has not had any major problems. .

"Hey hey!" Lao Ganbang is living a good life now. Apart from having no children, there are not many people in Maixiang Village who do not envy him.

"Brother, you are in a hurry to go back to see your sister-in-law!" The three monkeys followed suit.

Wang Zhong glared at him: "Stinky boy, you're still making fun of me. That's right, I'm just in a hurry to go back to see your sister-in-law. Why, envy?"

"Brother! You don't sprinkle salt on people's wounds like you." The three monkeys looked aggrieved.

"You're ashamed to be wronged. It's not that there are unmarried girls in our village. You can't look down on yourself. Who is to blame!" Sanhouzi has high vision and always thinks that there are better ones. The mountain is high, but no one has looked at it so far.

"Isn't this not the right one!" The three monkeys muttered.

Lao Ganbang said: "If you want me to say, your vision is too high, Mrs. Ma just introduced you to Huangshi Village a while ago, and you thought it was not handsome enough, so you rejected it."

"That girl looks too ugly." The three monkeys said with disgust.

"You're still picky and picky, maybe you still want to find a fairy daughter in the sky?" Lao Ganbang said angrily.

"No way!" The three monkeys quibbled, afraid that the old man would continue to make a fuss about this matter, so he quickly changed the subject and said to Wang Zhong: "Brother, sister-in-law is about to give birth, right?"

"How can it be so fast!" Wang Zhong said: "I am pregnant for ten months, your sister-in-law is only six months now, and there are still many months left!"

"Only six months?" Three Monkeys said in surprise, "I see that sister-in-law's stomach is no smaller than those of those who are eight or nine months old or even about to give birth."

Lao Ganbang rolled his eyes: "Could it be that there are two brothers and sisters in their stomachs?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said nothing.

Three Monkeys and Lao Ganbang looked at each other, hurriedly approached and asked: "Brother, are you really two?"

Both of them looked curious.

Wang Zhong said: "You two have this skill, you should care more about yourselves!"

Wang Zhong looked at Lao Ganbang: "Brother Youdao, you have been married for several years, and you have no children yet, so you don't intend to see?"

Wang Zhong also changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Lao Ganbang's brows immediately showed a bit of worry, and his expression was a little lonely: "Where can I see it?"

Wang Zhong said: "Where else can I go? Go to the county hospital to have a look! It's best for both of you to go for a checkup to see if there is anything wrong. If there is, then get treated quickly."

"Go to the hospital?" Lao Ganbang was reluctant.

Wang Zhongdao: "There is an old saying, it is called hiding diseases and avoiding doctors. If you are like this, I will ask you, do you want to have children?"

"Of course I want to!" Lao Ganbang answered without thinking.

"That's it!" Wang Zhong said: "The harvest has been bumper in the past few years, and you have saved a lot of money. Now, both of you should go to the county hospital to have a good look."

"Brother, don't you know how to feel the pulse!" The three monkeys grinned and said, "You can show me and Chunmei."

"I'm just a wild guy, I just learned a few skills from the barefoot doctor, how can I compare with the doctor in the county hospital." Wang Zhong's words were purely modest.

Old Ganbang was silent for a while, and then said: "Then when the spring irrigation is over, I will take Chunmei to the county hospital to have a look."

After inspecting the waterwheel and irrigation canal, Wang Zhong went straight home.

In the chimney on the roof, cooking smoke is curling up. In the house, Jiang Hongguo, with her big belly on her back, is standing at the edge of the chopping board cutting vegetables.

Wang Zhong hurried forward, with a face full of blame: "Didn't you just say this and wait for me to get back!"

Jiang Hongguo smiled and said, "It's not that I can't move, how can I be so precious."

"You are pregnant with twins, which is different from ordinary women's pregnancy. Your belly can hold up to another's eight months in only six months. You have to be careful."

Hearing Wang Zhong's concern, Jiang Hongguo couldn't help showing a smile on her face, and said warmly in her heart, "I know, I will be careful."

Speaking of which, Jiang Hongguo had already walked behind Wang Zhong with a feather duster, and deftly dusted Wang Zhong's body.

Wang Zhongdao: "When the spring irrigation is late this time, I will take Dahong Erhong into the mountains, hunt some pheasants and hares, and bring back some herbs to nourish your body."

"Hmm!" Jiang Hongguo kept moving her hands.

"It's just the beginning of spring, and it's the time when wild animals are active. I might come back when I'm going. If you need anything, just call Ma Renlian's wife for help."

"Don't worry!" After following Wang Zhong for two years, Jiang Hongguo will not be as frightened as she was at the beginning when Wang Zhong went to the mountain and didn't come back all night: "I can take care of myself, but you, the snake in the mountain There are many rats and ants, be careful yourself."

"I wish I could meet them more, and I'm worried that I don't have anything good to use as medicine." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and there are so many kinds of things that can be used as medicine. In addition to herbs, snakes, insects, mice, ants, and certain parts of various living things have different medicinal properties due to different regions and habits.

With level five medical skills in his body, concocting medicinal materials is as simple as eating and drinking for Wang Zhong.

For dinner, I ate yellow steamed buns made of cornmeal, a dish of stir-fried rapeseed, a dish of pickled radish kimchi, and egg soup with two beaten eggs.

Although there is no shortage of food at home, and they can eat three meals a day, but Jiang Hongguo has always been frugal, and the family only eats white noodles every three days. Unless Wang Zhong brought the meat back from the mountains, otherwise It also takes ten days and a half months to buy the last time.

The radish was soaked by Wang Zhong himself, slightly sour and refreshing, very appetizing.

After dinner, Wang Zhong helped Jiang Hongguo to go out for a half-hour walk in the village. Seeing that it was getting dark, the couple returned home.

It was still early spring at this time, and it was quite warm during the day, but the temperature was still very low in the morning and evening and at night. The couple sat on the heated kang, Wang Zhong leaned against the cabinet at the top of the kang, Jiang Hongguo half leaned in Wang Zhong's arms, Wang Zhong was still holding a thousand-character text in his hand.

"When writing was first made, clothes were worn; when the position was transferred to the state, there was Yu, Tao and Tang.

Condemn the people and punish crimes, and make Yin Tang in Zhou Dynasty; sit in the court and ask questions, and bow down to make peace. "

Wang Zhong held the book in his left hand, and wrote two lines of text on the book with the index finger of his right hand, reciting each word and sentence in a round accent.

"Let's learn this sentence first: start writing."

"Start writing!" Jiang Hongguo looked at the word Wang Zhong was pointing at and read it.

"Shi" means the beginning. These four characters refer to the allusion of Cangjie's creation of characters in ancient times. According to historical records, characters were first created by this man named Cangjie. At the beginning, this character is not what we are learning now. Like this, there was no paper at that time, and the characters were all carved on walls, tortoise shells, and so on. That's how Oracle Bone Inscriptions came about.

Later, people began to transcribe characters on some bells and tripods, so there was Zhong Dingwen, and then people carved characters on bamboo slips. "

"Bamboo slips are thick and heavy. At that time, people cared about highly educated people, and the bamboo slips in each family could fill the whole room, so there was the word "learned rich five carts". Use a big car to load it, and it can hold a lot of cars..."

Wang Zhong's teaching method is very interesting. He only teaches a few words, but often can lead to a lot of things. All kinds of allusions are also handy, like telling a story, not the kind of cramming teaching.

Compared with being a teacher in school, teaching those children to read and write is not as interesting as teaching your own daughter-in-law. Red sleeves add fragrance, and reading at night by candlelight is very interesting.

Jiang Hongguo's learning speed is not fast, and in almost two years, she has also learned a book of three characters, a book of hundreds of surnames.

However, things about scholars cannot of course be described with those vulgar words.

In Wang Zhong's words, it's called romance, and it's also called fun.

Jiang Hongguo is a woman in the traditional sense, and she didn't even refuse to be dragged by Wang Zhong to take a bath in the mandarin duck in broad daylight, let alone a mere red sleeve.

The eight sentences were explained by Wang Zhong procrastinatingly, the sky was getting late, and the atmosphere gradually became more beautiful.

The temperature was getting lower and lower at night, Wang Zhong blew on the lamp, and got into bed with Jiang Hongguo in his arms.

When you don't have a daughter-in-law, you don't have a woman with a warm bed beside you, but after you marry a daughter-in-law, it's inconvenient to get up and practice at night.

Wang Zhong could only postpone the practice time to the next morning, sleep until around three o'clock every day, and then get up to practice.

Now Wang Zhong's qi training art has reached the fourth level, and with the unremitting practice, the true qi in Wang Zhong's body has become more vigorous and pure, and the progress is quite fast.

Early in the morning, when Jiang Hongguo woke up, Wang Zhong had already prepared breakfast and left the house. The firewood in the stove was almost burnt out, leaving only charcoal fire. There was a steamer in the big pot in the middle, which was still steaming. .

Jiang Hongguo lifted the lid of the steamer, and there were several white flour buns and a bowl of egg custard lying inside.

The egg custard has been steamed for a long time, and the taste is slightly lacking, but the nutrition is not lost at all.

By the Maixiang River, the river is gurgling, and the waterwheel moves with the water. The tubes of river water fall into the wooden diversion canal, go along the canal, and flow into the weir pond. Go up layer by layer.

All the way to the east along the irrigation canal, where the fields of Maixiang Village are located, the villagers have long been waiting in the field with hoes and rakes, guarding the side of the irrigation canal, keeping an eye on the situation of the irrigation canal to avoid silting up.

"Water is coming!"

"Water is coming!"

With a loud shout, the expressions of the villagers became serious.

Spring irrigation is also particular. If there is too much water, it will be waterlogged, and if there is too little water, it will be dry. The specific amount depends on experience, and the amount of irrigation water in each period is different. Water, that's about it.

There are three times of spring irrigation, one is when the soil is thawed in early spring, and then once before and after flowering.

Now is the first time.

However, limited by the specifications of the waterwheels and irrigation canals, although the number of waterwheels has now increased to two, and the new one is ten meters high, it still cannot fully irrigate the fields of the village in one day.

Especially in the past two years, the village has successively reclaimed two to three hundred acres of wasteland.

The two waterwheels worked continuously for three full days before completing the first spring irrigation of all the wheat fields in the village.

After the spring irrigation was over, Wang Zhong brought enough dry food and water, and led two two-year-old red dogs into the mountain.

With the smooth weather in recent years, the Maixiangling area has ushered in several consecutive years of bumper harvests, and wild animals in the mountains have also grown wildly.

Among other things, there are only a lot more pheasants and hares than before.

By the time Wang Zhong came out of the mountain, it was already three days later.

A wooden stick as tall as a person is used as a pole, and four or five prey are hung on each side, mostly pheasants and hares. Not long after the beginning of spring, everything recovers, and the hares that have been cats in the cave all winter are not as plump as those in mid-winter.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Before Wang Zhong entered the house, the two red dogs ran all the way to the house. Jiang Hongguo came out of the house happily, holding a bowl of warm water in his hand.

"Master, why have you been away for so long this time?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It took a day to meet two raccoons."

"Look at this fur." ​​Wang Zhong pointed to the two raccoons with a bright smile on his face.

"It's beautiful!" Jiang Hongguo couldn't stop nodding when she saw it. Lizi, also known as a leopard cat, is not big in size, but its fur is very beautiful.

"It will be tanned later to make two vests for two children, or a blanket."

Jiang Hongguo couldn't help showing a look of anticipation in her eyes, "I'm afraid it's too small to make a blanket."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Zhong went into the bathroom to wash up, and Jiang Hongguo made hand-rolled noodles for Wang Zhong.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, Wang Zhong was burying his head into a large bowl about the size of his head, eating noodles, and Jiang Hongguo sat beside him, and suddenly said: "The day you just entered the mountain, Secretary Zhou from the county came to the village, and he came in a car. Yes, I heard Mrs. Jinhua say that Secretary Zhou used to be the captain of the village work team."

"It's Zhou Yihu, Captain Zhou!"

"That's right! It's called Zhou Yihu." Jiang Hongguo said, "But he's the secretary now. I heard from Party Secretary Wan Chun that he's the top leader."

"The branch secretary also said that you should go to him when you come back, and that he has something to tell you." Jiang Hongguo said hurriedly, remembering Wang Wanchun's advice.

"Don't be busy, I'll go find him after packing up the few prey outside."

After eating a large bowl of noodles, the water on the stove was almost boiled, and the pheasant was scalded. Jiang Hongguo sat on the small stool in the porch and plucked the hair. And raccoon skinning.

Because of relying on the Maixiang River, there are water trucks for irrigation. Even in the years of water shortage and drought like the previous two years, irrigation can still be guaranteed, and the harvest has been bumper for several consecutive years.

After paying the public grain, the grain produced in one year will not only satisfy the whole family's food for the whole year, but there will still be a lot of surplus. The villagers are willing to cut some meat and eat it back after ten days and a half.

However, when the folks buy meat, they buy as much fat as possible. For the kind of wild game that Wang Zhong caught, they still have to be brought to the city to be sold at a price.

However, there is Ma Renli in Maixiang Village.

Hearing that Wang Zhong returned home with a lot of prey, Ma Renli, like a cat smelling fish, eagerly came over.

"Hey, so many prey have been shot!" Ma Renli gave a thumbs up as soon as he entered the door, with a slapstick look: "As expected of the captain of our Maixiang village soldier team, he is amazing."

"Okay, stop flattering, pick what you want."

Looking at the two beautiful furs that looked like leopards, Ma Renli's eyes lit up instantly: "There are raccoons this time?" He swallowed as he spoke.

"We don't see many raccoons here. If you put your mind on serving the fields, Niu Bold will probably be willing to bow down in front of you." Wang Zhong joked.

"I can't compare!" Ma Renli waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head: "President Niu is one of the best people in our Maixiang Village, how can I compare with him."

This kid was also scared, now he is slippery like a monkey, Wang Zhong didn't continue joking, picked up the kitchen knife, grabbed a raccoon and asked, "How much do you want this time?"

"This..." Ma Renli looked at the skinned raccoon, and he was already thinking about how to do it, but he still hesitated after all when he remembered his thin purse: "What about the price?"

"Don't say I don't take care of you, three catties of white flour for one catty of meat!" Wang Zhong said, the price of ordinary pork on the market is five to six times that of flour. Buyers can sell higher.

But now everyone's life is tight, and not many people can spend like this.

"I brought five catties of white flour!" Ma Renli swallowed, the smile on his face grew wider, and he handed the cloth bag containing white flour to Wang Zhong: "Give me a hind leg!"

Wang Zhong raised the knife and cut off one of Lizi's hind legs, went into the house and took the ebony scale to weigh it.

"One catty, 11 taels, Wangwang, look carefully."

"No problem!" Ma Renli's mouth was very generous, but his eyes never left the scale: "The president has always been fair, I can trust it."

"Okay, don't flatter me in front of me!" Wang Zhong tied his hind legs with straw ropes and handed them to Ma Renli.

Ma Renli held the raccoon's leg and said with a smile, "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart."

"Fuck off!"

"okay!"

Ma Renli left happily holding the raccoon leg.

After a while, Qiao Yue, who was wearing a padded jacket, a scarf, and shoulder-length short hair, also came, also carrying the cloth bag in her hand.

"Captain Wang, sister-in-law!" Qiao Yue greeted the two of them with a smile as soon as she entered the door. She didn't have the embarrassment of pestering Wang Zhong and sticking her cold butt with her hot face so many times before.

"It's sister Qiao Yue!" Not only did Jiang Hongguo know about Qiao Yue's pursuit of her husband to no avail from Mrs. If I am not embarrassed, Jiang Hongguo will not feel embarrassed either.

After all, Qiao Yue lives in the main room in the front yard, and she can see her own yard from the window.

He welcomed people into the courtyard with a smile, and exchanged three catties of white flour for one catty of rabbit meat, which was the meat from the rabbit's hind legs.

After a while, the villagers came after hearing the news, some took flour, and some bought it directly with money.

The raccoon meat can also invigorate the middle and nourish qi, and can also cure hemorrhoids. It has high medicinal value. Unfortunately, every person who knows the goods in Maixiang Village, two raccoons, four rabbits, and a pheasant, were quickly divided up. Now, there are only some corners left, and there is a pheasant and a rabbit.

The rest were prepared by Wang Zhong and Jiang Hongguo to eat by themselves.

"It's a pity that you are pregnant now, otherwise I will make you a spicy rabbit head." Wang Zhong, who was disemboweling a pheasant and taking out the internal organs, looked at the pregnant Jiang Hongguo with a regretful expression on his face. the way.

"Spicy rabbit head?" Jiang Hongguo heard it for the first time.

Wang Zhong explained: "It's a kind of Sichuan cuisine. It's troublesome to prepare, and it has a Sichuan-style flavor. But you can't eat too much flavor now, but the nutritional value of rabbit heads is still very high. How about it, I Improve it, let you try it!"

Spicy rabbit heads taste really good, but to Wang Zhong, it doesn't matter if he has them or not, but now that there are five ready-made rabbit heads in front of him, he can make them.

"Okay!" Jiang Hongguo smiled.

It is troublesome to make the rabbit head, and it takes at least two days to make it really delicious. Therefore, the couple stewed half a pheasant at night, Jiang Hongguo rolled the noodles by hand, and used the chicken soup to serve the noodles. In the countryside of this era, it was considered an extremely sumptuous dinner.

"Boss, eat more." At the dinner table, Jiang Hongguo frequently put meat into Wang Zhong's bowl.

Wang Zhong said: "I didn't eat less in the mountains, you should eat more."

As he spoke, he put a few pieces of chicken in the Jianghongguo bowl.

I didn't cook much at all, and the two of them picked up a few pieces from each other, and there were not a few pieces left in the vegetable bowl.

Jiang Hongguo drank the chicken soup and ate the chicken, her face was full of happiness, and she said with emotion: "I have lived so long, I never thought that I could live such a fairy life."

Don’t say that there is meat, but you can always eat a meal every three days. At home, white noodles and stick noodles are mixed, and most of them are white noodles. Not to mention the whole Maixiang Village, even the whole neighboring area. No family's life can compare to that of Wang Zhong's family.

What's more, Jiang Hongguo's family was hit by a disaster just two years after he was assigned to the land.

"The days will only get better and better in the future." Wang Zhong said, sandwiching the last two pieces of chicken into the Jiang Hongguo bowl.

The next day, Laoganbang came to Wang Zhong with two bottles of Laobaigan, his expression a bit sad.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Wang Zhong frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you!"

"Hey!" Lao Ganbang sighed, lifted the wine in his hand: "Drink some, talk while drinking."

Wang Zhong cut a crop of leeks from the vegetable pond outside, cracked three eggs, made a scrambled egg with leeks, a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, and a few yellow steamed buns as a staple food, and sat on the kang with Lao Ganbang Got drunk.

Jiang Hongguo sat by the window with her big belly.

Lao Ganbang didn't speak, and drank two bowls of wine when he came up, his face was flushed with vicissitudes of life, and when he was about to drink the third bowl, Wang Zhong held down the wine bowl: "It can't be that there is something wrong with the inspection. right?"

"Hey!" Lao Ganbang sighed again, and sighed: "The doctor at the county hospital said that I have a physical problem, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a child in this life."

"Puff!" Wang Zhong burst out laughing after hearing this.

Lao Ganbang looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief.

Jiang Hongguo hastily hit Wang Zhong and winked.

Wang Zhong asked, "Have you brought the hospital's medical certificate with you?"

Lao Ganbang didn't know what Wang Zhong meant, so he subconsciously nodded.

"Let me take a look!" Wang Zhong stretched out his hand.

Lao Ganbang took out several medical certificates folded into the size of a palm from his arms, and handed them to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong took it over to Hu Lun to look at it, and waved at Lao Ganbang, "Extend your hand, I'll feel your pulse!"

Lao Ganbang didn't know what Wang Zhong wanted to do, but Wang Zhong already existed in his heart like a master and a father, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand and put it on the kang table.

Wang Zhong stretched out his right hand, placed three fingers on Lao Ganbang's veins, felt it carefully for a while, and said, "Put out your tongue and have a look!"

Laoganbang implemented according to the law, Wang Zhong pressed several acupuncture points on Laoganbang's body a few times.

Wang Zhongdao: "The doctor just said that it is difficult for you to have children, not that you cannot have children. There is still a difference between the two."

"Is there a difference?" Lao Ganbang lost all his alcohol in an instant, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of light, as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw: "What's the difference? Can I still have children?"

"Your situation should be due to congenital deficiencies. In addition, you suffered too much hunger and hunger in the past, which hurt your vitality, so it is difficult to have children. As long as you take care of it properly and slowly replenish your lost vitality, there is still a big difference." Possibly with children."

"Really?" Lao Ganbang was so excited, he grabbed the edge of the Kang table with both hands, the veins in his hands were protruding, and even his breathing became short of breath.

"It's possible if you try it, but if you don't try it, it's really impossible." Wang Zhong looked at Lao Ganbang and said calmly: "If you believe me, I can try to help you. You take care of your body, but..."

"I believe it, I believe it!" Before Wang Zhong finished speaking, Lao Ganbang said impatiently.

"Listen to me first!" Wang Zhong said, "You don't have to eat enough to replenish your vitality. You have to eat well to supplement the various nutrients that are missing in your body, and then use medicine and acupuncture to achieve the goal of replenishing your vitality." The effect of Zhongyi Qi, and this time will be relatively long, you have to be mentally prepared."

"how long?"

"Two or three years, no matter what!" Wang Zhong estimated: "It may be longer."

"I can afford to wait, as long as I can have a baby, let alone two or three years, I can afford to wait even ten years." Lao Ganbang said excitedly.

Wang Zhong raised two fingers: "First of all, you have to do two things!"

Lao Ganbang couldn't wait any longer: "What about those two points?"

Wang Zhong leaned over and brought the remaining bottle and a half of Lao Baigan to him: "From today on, quit drinking and smoking!"

"Ah?" Lao Ganbang was astonished.
