Chapter 28

Just as Ye Qiu met Lu Jianbin and the others, he suddenly remembered that his letter hadn't been sent yet.So amidst the jokes of the village head's wife, she turned around and went back to the town to post the letter.

The stamps at that time were unnumbered stamps, the main picture was farmers, workers or the People's Liberation Army, and the face values ​​were four cents, eight cents and ten cents respectively.Ye Qiu took all the envelopes from the post office staff, filled out the address and handed them to the staff.

When the staff saw that it was from the xx army, they couldn't help but look at Ye Qiu, and said, "Comrade, it's [-] cents in total." After a pause, he explained, "Eight cents for the stamp, and five cents for the envelope."

Ye Qiu paid the money in a hurry, and then watched the postman put away the letter before turning around and leaving the post office, heading towards the entrance of the town.There is also the post office not far from the gate of the town. Within 10 minutes, I saw a group of people standing not far from the gate of the town, and ran over in small steps.

It just so happened that Qin Guowen and Qin Lu also bought some things.Then the group went back to Jianshe Village together.

Ye Qiu kept a hoe and put it in the space.Zhou Ju took care of the rest, and then took the candy to Tang Weishi's house next door.

Seeing that Ye Qiu bought so many things back, Zhou Ju wanted to say a few words, don't spend a lot of money in life.But in a blink of an eye, Zhou Ju thought, maybe this was something Ye Qiu bought with his own money and tickets, and if he said it, he would offend his daughter-in-law.So his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, but carefully put away the farm tools.

Tang Chuanhe looked at Er Liang Rou, and couldn't help but said, "That time at Shiban, the fifth daughter-in-law stood up for you. I thought she was a shrewd one, but this purchase exposed it. Hey, this is also an honest one. Look at the two Two pieces of meat, the skinny ones, must have been tricked. This meat chopper is a black-hearted guy, and he will bully young people who go to the countryside. You won’t cut more fat, it’s all skinny. You say What’s so delicious about lean meat, don’t tell me you’ve knocked your teeth, and you don’t have a fat belly, if only I knew there were meat tickets…”

"Eating and chewing (talking), even eating won't stop your mouth." Zhou Ju said bitterly, and after she finished speaking, she looked at the front door, for fear that Ye Qiu would feel uneasy after hearing these words when she came back.He leaned over and began to organize the things Ye Qiu bought back, and saw a wine jug, "Here, this honest man is doing honest things, so I'll get you some wine." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help muttering, "I'm still at home. What about the brewed wine, how can you spend this money?"

Hearing that there was wine, Tang Chuanhe snatched it from Zhou Ju with a brisk walk.In that posture, it is completely impossible to tell that there is a disability in the leg.

Seeing Tang Chuanhe's anxious look, Zhou Ju couldn't help but said, "You don't want to be honest."

Tang Chuanhe grinned, "It's good to be honest, to be honest." After a pause, "Just like me."

"Bah." Zhou Ju spat at Tang Chuanhe, "You don't talk about the fifth daughter-in-law, shut up if you can't speak, no one will say you are dumb."

"Okay, shut up, shut up." Tang Chuanhe didn't care about anything because he had a drink.

Ye Qiu gave the sugar to Tang Weishi's house and left.When I came back, I just heard Tang Chuanhe's words.Having been together for more than 20 years in his previous life, Ye Qiu knew that his father-in-law was just talking, not that he disliked her.Besides, Ye Qiu could understand.

After all, there is a shortage of supplies at this time, and whoever has a meat ticket to buy meat must be buying and eating carefully.Fat meat is my favorite when I buy it, because it can be boiled into oil, and the remaining dregs can be boiled in water before eating.The dried meat is boiled and soaked in water, so it is no different from fat meat, and it can also be eaten as a tooth sacrifice.The boiled oil can also be eaten later, and the whole family can eat oily and meat dishes for a long time.

Ye Qiu thought to himself, it seems that he should be more thoughtful when buying things in the future.

At noon, Zhou Ju was going to get Erliang meat to eat.But there are many Tang families. Although the family is separated, the two elders eat meat, so they have to give it to their sons and grandchildren, right?But these two taels of meat, if fried and eaten, I'm afraid it's not enough to fit between the teeth.Zhou Ju thought about how to make everyone have a bite.After thinking about it, I really came up with a way.He quickly asked Yaomei to pick a basket of vegetables from the plot.Then wash and chop the green vegetables and put them in Shau Kei.

A large pot of water was placed in the pot, and Tang Chuanhe set firewood on it.Zhou Ju cut the lean meat into small cubes, and then sprinkled a handful of Gorgon powder.After the water in the pot boiled, pour the meat with the gorgon powder into the pot.

Tang Chuanhe burned firewood, and after a while, accompanied by the sound of bubbling, there was a smell of meat.

Tang Weishi's two older children next door were sharing the candy Ye Qiu bought.Suddenly smelling the smell of meat, the eldest Tang Zong swallowed, and the second eldest Tang Zongxiang looked at Yao Xiaolan, "Mom, grandma and daddy are cooking meat."

Yao Xiaolan hugged the youngest Tang Zonghua and nursed, and swallowed when she smelled the fragrance.After the Chinese New Year, they never had a meal of meat again.After hearing what the second child said, she looked at the neighbor, "Your Wu Niang went to the street today, she should have bought it." Ye Qiu came back and brought candy for the two children, Yao Xiaolan was embarrassed to ask the two children to go and have a look .However, Yao Xiaolan thought of her mother-in-law Zhou Ju's temper. Even if the children couldn't go there now, the second elder would bring them over or tell them to go over to eat.

Zhou Ju put all the vegetables in, then crushed the pancakes left over from the morning, put them into the pot, stirred them, and then added some salt.After the pot was opened again, it became vegetable and meat porridge, a big pot full and thick.

Zhou Ju scooped two bowls out of a large bowl, one for the old family and one for the third family.Let Yaomei send it over, and let her take Tang Zongcai and Tang Zongxiang to eat by the way.

Of course, Zhou Ju didn't forget how today's meat came from, and filled a big bowl for Ye Qiu.

This bowl was Ye Qiu's most satisfying and most delicious meal since he was reborn.I can't help but sigh in my heart, my mother-in-law's craftsmanship is really good.The meat in the porridge is mixed with gorgon powder, the meat is smooth and tender, coupled with the fragrance of vegetables, it is not oily or greasy, just right.

Everyone had a full meal.

In the afternoon, Ye Qiu was called by the village brigade to talk.

It probably means that she hasn't been to work recently and has been helping Tang Guizhi mow grass and herd cattle. Does she want to raise a cow with Tang Guizhi?
Ye Qiu quickly refused, how could she steal Yaomei's job.If she feeds a cow with Yaomei, wouldn't that be a share of Yaomei's work?

After the brigade knew what Ye Qiu meant, they asked her to work with the team immediately.

In fact, Ye Qiu wanted to ask for a cow to feed himself, but the brigade said that there were no new calves this year.If Yaomei Tang Guizhi's cow gave birth, she could feed it.But Tang Guizhi's cow was only one year old, and it hadn't been bred at all. Where did the calf come from?So, Ye Qiu began to work together according to the arrangement of the brigade.

In fact, Ye Qiu could follow Tang Weishan's advice and not go to work, but Ye Qiu was a restless person, so he had to work in the village, thinking that he would not go to work after he figured out something to do.

The people in the village are busy making corn balls now, and Ye Qiu followed him to work, doing the same thing.Sitting on the ground with a small bench, holding corn balls with both hands.

Kneading corn balls is actually using farmyard manure to pinch a ball the size of an adult's palm, and hollow out the middle to put corn seeds.Farmyard manure is a mixture of plant ash, cow dung and pig manure.This is to ensure the fertilizer needed for corn germination.The pinched corn balls will be put into a pit about two meters wide and [-] centimeters high. Bamboo strips are inserted on the top of the pit, and then a layer of film is covered on the bamboo strips.The corn in the cornball can germinate and grow into corn seedlings very quickly.

Qin Lu was very unlucky, she was allergic to tea picking, so she was assigned the job of kneading corn balls.I didn't know what the black mud was, and I squeezed a bunch of corn balls.But when he found out, he retched again and again.

Ye Qiu has done farm work in her previous life, so she has already adapted to it.So she was able to pick up the corn ball without changing her face.But in the eyes of outsiders, both of them are young people who have been sent to the countryside this year. Such a comparison creates a sharp contrast.Therefore, every time Ye Qiu gets full work points, Qin Lu gets the least work points.

As a result, the villagers in Jianshe Village had a better impression of Ye Qiu, thinking that she was hard-working.

In the next few days, Qin Lu's reaction didn't change at all. As soon as she went to the field and started to squeeze corn balls, she would retch, making it impossible for others to work properly.Everyone couldn't help pointing at Qin Lu, and in the end, they didn't let Qin Lu go to work together anymore.

Qin Lu went back to the educated youth point angrily, looked at her dirty hands, held back the nausea, and hurried to the water to wash them.While washing and washing, Qin Lu felt extremely wronged and began to cry.Just happened to be seen by Qin Guowen who came back from school, "What's wrong?"

As soon as Qin Lu saw Qin Guowen, she ran over and lowered her head aggrievedly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Qin Lu's appearance, Qin Guowen couldn't help frowning, "Tell me something quickly."

"Brother Qin, can you get me to work in the brigade elementary school?" Seeing that Qin Guowen was impatient, Qin Lu quickly said, "I really can't do the work in the village. Besides, Ye Qiu doesn't know how to do farm work. Let's compare here. Everyone is pointing at me, and I don't want to do farm work anymore. Brother Qin, help me, okay?"

Qin Guoben wanted to refuse, but when he heard Qin Lu mention Ye Qiu later, for some reason, he responded immediately, "I'll help you mention it. Whether it will be successful or not is not guaranteed."

"Thank you, Brother Qin, thank you, Brother Qin."

Ye Qiu originally wanted to talk to Wei Hongzhi alone about the blind date that day.But I didn't expect that I was too busy with work these days, and I didn't have time.But after getting off work today, Ye Qiu saw that it was still early.So I went to Guanyin Mountain to pick up some firewood.When carrying firewood down the mountain, Ye Qiu saw Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong quietly beside the forest.

Tang Weiyong didn't know what he said, and Wei Hongzhi had a bright smile all over his face.And Tang Weiyong suddenly grabbed Wei Hongzhi's hand.The two held each other tightly, and it took a while for them to let go.After letting go, Tang Weiyong left first.

Wei Hongzhi was also preparing to leave.

Ye Qiu pretended to arrive with Chai on his back, and looked at Wei Hongzhi in surprise, "Sister Hongzhi, it's so late, are you going into the mountains?"

Wei Hongzhi was startled, and when she turned her head and saw that it was Ye Qiu, she was obviously relieved, and after hearing her question, she said, "No, no, I just came here to have a look."

"Sister Hongzhi, how was the blind date that day?"

Hearing this, Wei Hongzhi seemed to recall the scene just now, her face blushed.

Looking at Wei Hongzhi's appearance, and thinking about her brilliant face just now, Ye Qiu couldn't even utter the words of comfort.Ye Qiu thought about it, maybe he was worrying unfoundedly.Although Tang Weiyong got rich, he cheated and abandoned Wei Hongzhi in less than ten years.But the marriage between him and Wei Hongzhi for nearly 20 years was very happy.

What's more, judging by Wei Hongzhi's appearance before, this matter should be a foregone conclusion.Let's mention Wei Hongzhi later.After all, a rift in a marriage should not be caused by just one person.

Back home, Ye Qiu washed up, went to bed, and entered the space.After discovering that the grass in the space was not completely withered, Ye Qiu threw branches and tender grass many times.Later, the mist in the space gradually thickened, and the branches that Ye Qiu brought in would no longer dry up inexplicably.

So when he was pinching the corn balls, Ye Qiu had a whim, and secretly put a dozen corn balls into the space.But Ye Qiu really didn't expect that in less than a week, the corn in the corn balls sprouted and grew to twenty centimeters.

Ye Qiu was overwhelmed with surprise. Can the growth be accelerated here?

Quickly picking up the hoe and digging on the black ground, Ye Qiu dug out a dirt pile and dug a hole in the pile.Then the corn balls were planted in the hole.Looking at the tender green corn seedlings, Ye Qiu was very excited. He wondered when the corn seedlings would grow up and bear corn cobs?
This place can actually speed up the growth, Ye Qiu was thinking about the seedlings in the field outside.Seedlings need paddy fields, Ye Qiu thought, wondering if this place can hold water?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu started to act and chose a piece of land.Dig the soil in the middle to the surroundings, and then create a field of about seven cents.After leaving the space, Ye Qiu went to the well in the backyard, and then poured water directly into the field in the space.

After the water started to enter the space, it sank directly into the soil. Ye Qiu was very disappointed.But Ye Qiu really wanted to eat rice, so he insisted on drinking water for a while.Unexpectedly, after half of the well water disappeared, the paddy field in the space gradually filled with water.In this way, Ye Qiu gained energy and kept introducing water into the space.But Ye Qiu used up all the water in the well, barely enough for the field dug in the space.After leveling the fields in the space, almost one night passed.

Ye Qiu got out of the space, stretched his waist, and worked all night. He was really tired and couldn't keep his eyelids open.Just as he was about to go back to the house to rest, he heard a violent knock on the door outside the main house, and then, someone upstairs got up, went downstairs, and opened the door.

Ye Qiu heard a creak and the door opened, followed by a woman crying loudly, "Woo... Mom, I'm dead, Mom, I'm dead..."

Accompanied by the woman's voice, there was a cry of a baby.

Rubbing his forehead, Ye Qiu opened the back door and walked out.
