Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 635: Plowing in Three Days

Because of Wang An, the lives of Wang Daliang's family have undergone earth-shaking changes.

This led to Wang Daliang and his wife feeling that they could never repay the kindness they had shown to Wang An's family.

The main thing is that the couple often come to Wang An's house to help with work. Of course, Shen Wei is also one of them.

On the way to deliver the manure, Wang An was chatting with Wang Dazhui, and Wang An learned that during the time when Wang An went to pan for gold, Wang Daliang and his wife and Shen Wei and their two friends had been helping Wang An's family to deliver the manure.

The reason why it is said to be "this period of time" is because Wang An's family has many livestock and there is too much manure, which cannot be dumped out in a short time.

Pouring manure actually means transferring the entire manure pile to another place, and breaking the manure into pieces while transferring it.

Because manure will condense together to form a large hard lump over time, and as the temperature rises in spring, manure will heat up and ferment on its own.

Therefore, before sending the manure to the field, these hard lumps of manure need to be broken up and moved to another place.

Otherwise, on the one hand, large lumps of feces cannot be used, and on the other hand, if the feces ferment for too long, it will directly ferment into ash and will be of no use at all.

The process of moving the dung pile to another place and smashing it up is called "dung dumping".

To be honest, the job of dumping manure is quite difficult.

Because the job of dumping manure itself is strenuous work, that is, in the process of dumping manure, you need to smash the manure with force one after another to completely smash the manure into small pieces.

Just imagine how tiring this job is.

But in addition to this, one has to endure the foul smell of fermenting feces all the time.

To be honest, the smell is quite pungent. Although it is not as strong as the smell of a manure pit, it is also quite pungent.

From this we can see how precious it is that Wang Daliang and his wife and Shen Wei and their two companions would take the initiative to help dump the manure and do it for several days.

Hearing what Second Mother Yao Ping said, Wang An said with a smile:

"Delivering manure is not tiring at all. It's definitely easier than dumping manure. I heard from my dad that it was my second uncle and second aunt who helped dump the manure in my house. Hahahaha, on behalf of our whole family, I'd like to thank my second aunt and second uncle, hahahaha."

The fancy sedan is carried by many people. Even if Wang An has done a favor to Wang Daliang's family, it cannot be said that it is the duty of Wang Daliang and his wife to help with the work.

So Wang An's words undoubtedly made Yao Ping very happy. At least Wang An already knew that Yao Ping came to help with the work, so Yao Ping's goal was actually achieved.

From ancient times to the present, Buddhism talks about cause and effect, Taoism talks about responsibility, and ordinary people only care about personal relationships.

Because it is obvious that although Wang Daliang and Wang Dazhu are brothers, if Wang An had not been helping Wang Li to make money, Wang Daliang and his wife would never have come to help with the work.

Hearing Wang An's words of thanks, Yao Ping quickly said:
"We're all family, why are you thanking Second Mother? Don't say that again. Second Mother will be angry if you say that again."

I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with what Yao Ping said. It is both popular and worldly-wise.

An old hand like Wang An can naturally see through everything, but the reason why it is called "human relations and worldly wisdom" is that as long as everyone is happy and satisfied, that's enough.

Wang An said with a smile:
"Yeah, I have to listen to what my second mother says, hahaha. By the way, my father and I caught a lot of fish just before we came back. Second mother, think about it and don't forget to pack a sack for later."

Yao Ping said with a smile on her face:
"Look at my eldest nephew. I love him for a reason. He always thinks of me when he does something good." While Wang An was chatting with his second mother Yao Ping, the brothers Wang Dazhu and Wang Daliang had already started drawing water from the large vat under the window.

After the three large tanks were half filled with water, everyone threw the fish into the tanks together.

Of course, in addition to leaving a sack of fish for Wang Daliang's family, Liu Guilan also left some for Shen Wei, and then poured all the remaining fish into each large vat.

After all the tinkering was done, everyone went into the house talking.

During the meal, because of Wang Li's disfigurement, no one mentioned gold panning. The purpose of Wang Daliang and his wife coming here was just to confirm which day to start farming.

After all, if we calculate according to the time, we have to start planting corn and soybeans in the next two days, and rice and wheat must be planted before mid-May.

Although neither family took the initiative to bring up the idea of ​​farming together, the current situation made it natural for them to do so.

Finally, the two families agreed to start plowing the fields three days later.

After dinner, Yao Ping helped to clean up the dishes before Wang Daliang and his family carried the fish away.

When Wang Daliang and his family were about to leave, Wang An confirmed Wang Li's physical condition and then told Wang Li to ride over on horseback tomorrow and go into the mountains with him.

Wang Li agreed and left with his family.

I have to say that young people's ability to heal wounds is really fast. When Wang Li was rescued from the street-facing house by Wang An, his body was covered with cuts and there were few healthy areas.

But up to now, it has only been 5 days, but the scabs on the wounds on his body are almost falling off.

Only the scabs on his face still looked very hideous.

When going to bed at night, Mu Xueqing became obviously taciturn, because based on the scars on Wang Li's face, she could already imagine what Mu Xueli's face looked like.

However, Wang An had no other way to deal with this kind of thing. Although Wang An knew that plastic surgery was available in Hong Kong, going to Hong Kong in this era was basically as difficult as going abroad.

So Wang An just hugged Mu Xueqing but didn't say any words of comfort.

Many times, silent comfort is the best comfort, even saying a word is redundant.

There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.

In the morning, just after Wang An had finished breakfast, Wang Li came over riding an Oroqen horse.

During this gold-mining expedition into the mountains, almost everyone deeply experienced the benefits of the Oroqen horses.

The Oroqen horse is strong, docile, has great endurance and is easy to raise. Most importantly, its height makes it seem like it was tailor-made for mountain riding.

Because even with Wang An's size, it was rare for him to hit his head with tree branches when riding it.

After preparing the things they would take into the mountains, mainly guns, ropes, and baskets for eagle eggs, the brothers Wang An and Wang Li rode their horses toward the southwest.
