Chapter 129 Making Friends
Just when we were working in full swing in the field, some villagers who watched the excitement and had malicious intentions attracted some villagers who were squatting or standing on the ridge of the field, watching us old people transplanting rice seedlings together.Some villagers went up to see the rice seedlings we raised, and made sarcastic remarks beside them.

"Old Lu, the rice seedlings raised by your family don't look energetic, so don't be blind and plant seeds like this."

"The rice seedlings are a bit small. You have to control the depth of the water, or your heart will be invaded, and your work will be in vain."

"Old Lu, you are also an old farmer. Why are you still messing around with these city people? Are such small seedlings transplanted in the fields, and don't wait for them to grow? Wait a few days until they grow up. It's not too late to plant."

"It's Lao Lu. I heard that the 10 mu of land in your family will be planted at this time? You can think about it. Your family's rations for the coming year will depend on the 10 mu of land."

In short, the transplanted seedlings in our family are too small and too weak. I am afraid they will not survive.

The little uncle heard everyone say this, and the answer was even worse.

"We have quite a few college students here. These rice seedlings are drought-resistant, flood-proof, and new varieties adapted to the current weather environment that have been bred through research. What do you know?
Our family is responding to the country's call for spring plowing. We will start early and arrange early, and actively do a good job in the preliminary work of rice transplanting, laying a solid foundation for this year's scientific rice planting, high and stable rice yields, and guaranteed planting area. "

The people on the ridge heard what the little uncle said, and they all laughed out loud as if the little uncle was telling a joke.

Among the spectators, some experienced old farmers picked up a bundle of rice seedlings on the ridge of the field, observed them carefully, and said, "Don't say anything, what Lu Qing said may be true. Although the seedlings are small , but this root is strong, and it has already reached the tillering stage, as long as you pay attention to the water depth when transplanting, and be careful at the beginning, it should be able to live, but I don’t know how the yield will be.”

After the people on the ridge finished laughing, a few young people offered to help transplant rice seedlings. We couldn't wish for such a request.

After all, there are many people and strength, and they are all experienced rice transplanters, unlike us who are learning and selling now, so the speed of rice transplanting is much faster if they join us.

In one morning, the little uncle and the others led us to plant all the 18 acres of paddy fields in our house.

When it was about noon, Mother Qu came to the field and asked everyone to go back to eat. As soon as the young helpers heard that we were going back to eat, they hurried out of the paddy field and wanted to go back to their home. After cooking, we will not eat at our house.

How could we let the people who came to help just leave like this? This is when we got closer to the people in the village. Chen Ming just told Jiang Zhi privately that these young people are more willing to work in the village. Pragmatic.Jiang Zhi likes people like this, so he doesn't let them go. The rule here is that those who come to help have a meal at noon, and they have to come to our house for dinner at noon.

A few young people think that life is not easy for anyone now. This winter, everyone is living a tight life, saving food and money. If they don’t want to do such a little work, they will go to our house to eat and drink, but Seeing that our family sincerely invited them, we are not hypocritical, so there are more than 30 people who went home at noon.

We couldn’t sit down in the living room, so we set up three tables in the yard. We little daughters-in-law didn’t dare to rest when we got home, so we hurried into the kitchen to help Mama Jiang and Aunt Liang serve dishes outside. There were 12 dishes on one table, including chicken, duck and fish. There was everything, and the plates were all over the table.

When Chen Ming and Qin Hanbin saw such a sumptuous meal, they began to scream, "Brother Jiang, the table in your house is too hard, and the standard of living is too good. I haven't eaten meat a few times this winter. I can get it today, and I have to have a good meal."

Jiang Zhi heard Chen Ming's words and said with a smile: "You can eat with your stomach today, although the dishes are not many in style, but the quantity is large, we can eat enough today.

These meats are all meat stored in the ice cellar last year. Isn’t it hard for everyone to transplant rice seedlings today? No matter what, we have to prepare something good to reward everyone. We won’t give everyone wine to drink at noon. A piece of land needs to be done, and in the evening, we are having a good meal. "

Everyone ate the meal at noon very quickly, and then took a short rest, and then went to the paddy field of my uncle’s house to start planting rice seedlings. The young people who helped in the village were even more embarrassed to leave after eating our meal. In the afternoon, he helped us plant all the seedlings.

In addition to the 30 mu of seedlings in our house and my uncle’s family, about 4 mu of rice seedlings were planted for Aunt Qin’s family.Originally, Aunt Qin and Aunt Guo's family wanted to share equally, but Uncle Guo was not very optimistic about our family's seedlings, and he didn't dare to make fun of his own family's land, so he politely refused.Of course, we can't force others, we have good intentions, if they don't accept it, it's fine, as long as we get what we want.

Qin Hanbin saw that Lao Guo's family didn't want the seedlings we gave, so he jumped out and shouted: "Brother Jiang, give me all the remaining seedlings from your house. You see, our family has turned over 4 mu of paddy fields, and these are just right for planting."

Jiang Zhi smiled and asked him: "You have to think about it. The seedlings in my house are not even favored by experienced people like Uncle Guo. You have to think about it. Maybe if you plant them, you will lose the 4 mu of land in vain." , but nothing can be harvested in autumn."

Hearing what Jiang Zhi said, Qin Hanbin replied sternly: "I know this, but I believe Brother Jiang, you dare to plant 18 acres of land in your family, and my little paddy field is nothing compared to yours, and My family still has several acres of paddy fields, don’t be afraid.”

Father Jiang also reminded Qin Hanbin: "You have to discuss this with your father, but you can't decide on your own, or your father will beat you with a broom Gada before you go back."

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, my dad listens to me, and I can plant whatever I say, and he definitely has no objection." Qin Hanbin waved his hand, and decided the matter like a man.Chen Ming was muttering something next to him, probably he wanted it too, but he couldn't make the decision at home, so this time he would take advantage of Qin Hanbin and so on.

So, we later planted the remaining seedlings in Aunt Qin's rice field.

It was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was still dark, and all the seedlings had been planted, so Jiang Zhi mobilized everyone to go back to our house for dinner.

As soon as it got dark, tables were set up in the yard, and a few large 100-watt bulbs were lit around the yard to illuminate the yard. (On the third day after the village chief’s meeting, Tashan Village was powered on.)
In the evening, Mama Jiang and the others prepared a very rich meal. Originally, we had planned to plant rice seedlings in two days, but as a result, many people came to help, and we finished it in one day. This is a task ahead of schedule, so everyone very happy.

For dinner, Jiang Zhi took out four bottles of Wuliangye in a catty, and made the young people sitting there greedy for something. The old people still drank the white wine we brewed in the space.

A meal is a feast for the host and guests. Young people eat and drink together, and the relationship develops after a while. Just look at the few young people who came to help. They were quite shy at lunch, and they had a glass of two and a half at night. After drinking the baijiu, Brother Jiang and Brother Li kept barking.

"Brother Jiang, your family is really nice, not at all like what people in the village say." It was Zhang Fanyu, the youngest son of the old Zhang family at the entrance of the village who spoke.

I was sitting on the table next to me, and when I heard him talk about this topic, I quickly answered, "What do people in the village say about our family?"

Zhang Fanyu looked back at me and said, "Sister-in-law, it's just a rumor, it's not credible, don't be angry if I tell you."

"I'm not angry, you can just say it." I really want to hear what people in the village say about us.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that once you came back, you took back the house that Li Feng was borrowing so forcefully, and you did it again and again. The whole village knows that the village chief is useless in front of you. Everyone in the village Some people say that your family members are too domineering, people who look down on us in Tashan Village, and say that we will rule your family together in the future, and you cannot let your city people be too arrogant in the village."

When Chen Ming heard us talking about this topic, he said to us like a joke: "Do you know what is said about your family in the village? Some people say that your family is a family that only enters and cannot enter. If someone wants to take advantage of your family, You can drive them out of the two miles with a knife, and your family is too impersonal as a city person, and we are not the same as our village people."

After hearing what Chen Ming said, I asked him, "You've heard about this a long time ago, why haven't you told us about it?"

"What are you talking about? It's not true. You are still angry after hearing it."

Zhao Kai, a young man next to him, also said: "Actually, it was passed on by Lao Li's family in the village. We all know what their family is like, so most of what we say to them is just listened to and then dragged down."

Jiang Zhi thought for a while, then picked up the wine glass and said: "I guess everyone's impression of our family is because our family wants a house. We are indeed a little anxious about this matter, but we were really worried when we first came. There are difficulties, and his old Li's house is not really short of a house, but he bullies us as newcomers and doesn't want to return the house quickly. Although our family doesn't have any great skills, we can't let people live like this. As for us I don't want to explain too much what kind of family is like. They all say that people's hearts can be seen over time, so we will use our strengths in the future and have a good taste.

Today, everyone can come to help our family, I, Jiang Zhi, will remember it in my heart.In the future, if you can use me for anything, just say, if I can do it, I will go all out and never refuse.

Now, I can only express my heart with this glass of water and wine, come on, let's do it. "

"Okay, open and bright, there is no need to talk about it between us buddies. Brother Jiang, if you have any good things to do in the future, just think about us. Come on, I will do it." Qin Hanbin put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine glass, and raised his neck Just dry the whole glass, and then turn the glass upside down.

The others were all old men from the Northeast, and they never lacked wine at the dinner table, so they followed Qin Hanbin and drained all the white wine in the glass in front of them.

After drinking a glass of white wine, the feelings of the people on the table took another step forward.
