Chapter 209 Can't Lose Watermelon and Pick Sesame Seeds

The new year has begun. At the beginning of the new year, God did not give you any special treatment. The sky is still cloudy, and the snow is still falling.

Even in the first lunar month, everyone still maintains the good habit of going out to clear the snow, but it seems that they have seen the dawn, work harder, and their mood is not as heavy as before.

Yes, after the Chinese New Year, I have to wait for a few months until spring, then everything will be fine.

Jiang Zhi and I also took the time to go to the mountains to deliver food to Hong Er, but this time we didn’t dare to delay on the road. It took only two days to go back and forth. It’s a day and night afternoon at home, and we’ve been away for a long time. will be worried.

It was so busy until April, and it was time to start raising seedlings again. Jiang Zhi still hired those people from last year to be responsible for raising seedlings. With a year of experience, everyone knew what they should do, so everyone was busy during that time. not messy.

Finally one day, everyone was clearing the snow an hour ago, and when it was time to go out to clear the snow again, the snow stopped after a while, and then people gradually felt hot, and some people woke up. When spring came, I didn't care if I was standing on the roof, so I jumped up and shouted: "The weather is warm, spring is here."

This shout was like a fuse, igniting everyone's enthusiasm. Everyone was howling and screaming on the roof, relieving the depression that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time.The continuous snow and cold weather this winter have put a lot of psychological pressure on everyone. What if it is always snow and ice?What if there is no spring?What if I can't survive the weather? ...

Well now, all the gloom has passed, and people's hearts are full of new hope.

Everyone's cheers didn't last long, Jiang Zhi informed everyone, "The weather is getting warmer, so everyone should hurry up and start digging the ground, the rice seedlings raised in the greenhouse can already be transplanted, don't delay the spring plowing. "

This year the village does not need tractors for land plowing, because the profiteer Joe didn’t come all winter, and we don’t have enough diesel, so we decided to rely on manpower for everything this year.

On the third day of warming up, every household carried hoes and shovels and went out to dig the ground.The scene at that time can only be described in one sentence, and the lineup was huge.

After working for four days, it was considered that all the land in the village had been turned over. No, there were still three houses that had not been turned over, namely the ones that did not support or participate in the overall construction of the village last year.

In this land digging activity, not all families have enough labor force. For example, Hanhan’s little partner’s family has only three people with children. Only one man is considered a strong labor force, and the other two can only do odd jobs along with them. There is still a lot of land at home, seven acres, and his own land must not be reclaimed, so Jiang Zhi asked his second brother-in-law to be responsible for helping these families with insufficient labor force to hire others with excess labor force, and coordinate with each other. In the shortest time, all the land in the village was turned over.

Li Peng and his family have a lot of land. It is reasonable to say that the labor force in the family is not abundant, but according to their strength, they can make a difference these days. But, Li Peng claims to be a smart person. He sees that Jiang Zhi has people deploy labor , Helping those who work slowly, he became a thief.

He was the only one who could think of doing foreign work for his own family, but he didn't know that it was an employment relationship when they came to dig the land for him, not for nothing, and now the villagers are so tired of their family. I don't want to help their family at all, even if they give food.

When Li Peng saw that everyone had finished digging and no one came to help their house, he became anxious and looked for Jiang Zhi and Lao Zhangtou again.Their unanimous answer was 'you did not participate in the overall construction of the village last year, and it was made clear at that time that you can live in the village, but we are not responsible for anything about you.Of course, if you have the ability to ask the villagers to help you dig the land, we don't care, after all, everyone has freedom.

Ah, and, do you use the rice seedlings cultivated in the village in your year?If you want it, you have to pay, and the price is 30.00% of the output per mu. Your family should think about it. "

Li Peng was stupid at the time. He didn't expect such a situation. The people in his family had dug out less than four acres of land in the past three days, and more than half of it hadn't been dug up. If no one helps, those lands will be blind this year. Yet?Also, he didn't expect that raising seedlings in the village would not count as his. Didn't they return it to their family last year?
Li Peng couldn't think of a solution by himself, so he went back to find other companies that also encountered the same problem.They all regretted how they were so lazy last year, and now the whole village is displeased with them. They discussed it and finally decided to go to the village chief together, so one morning, as soon as we got up, someone knocked on the door.

When these people entered the house, they kept apologizing to Jiang Zhi, bowing and bowing. The most frightening thing was that Old Li did his trick again, and knelt down to Jiang Zhi when he entered the door, saying that Jiang Zhi would not agree. , he wouldn't get up, and he simply did everything he could.

I looked at it and really wanted to say, if you don’t want to get up, just kneel down, and no one will care if you kneel to death, but I’m speaking out of anger, how can my wife, the village head, be so heartless.

I took out a cushion from home, handed it to Old Li, and said, "Uncle Li, although it's spring now, the ground is still cold, why don't you put this cushion under it, or I'm afraid of you It won't last long."

Old Li was so angry with me that he almost went over with a bang.I saw that old man Li's eyes were turning white, and I thought to myself, this ability to resist blows is too weak, so why come out like this?
Jiang Zhi doesn't know what's going on with us, he just asks the children to invite the old Zhang to come over. According to Jiang Zhi, the village head is not his Jiang Zhi alone, so he can't make any decisions alone. .

The final result is that although their families are very hateful, they are old neighbors who have lived together for decades. You can't just watch them die, so let their family start after spring plowing. A sheepfold is built next to the pigsty, and the sheep in this sheepfold will be fed by several of their families this year, and each family will be paid half a sheep in the next year.

In this way, the problem was solved, and the village began the spring plowing of the new year.

After more than a month of busy work, finally all the fields were plowed, and those families who later turned to him also started to build sheepfolds. Jiang Zhi asked Chen Hao to be the supervisor. The character of these families is still open to question. So someone has to supervise.

And this project needs to be fast, because at the beginning of spring, we have pulled back the piglets and lambs, and now they are all squeezed into the pigsty, but it is best to separate them as soon as possible.

After spring plowing, we are not so busy, so we put the marriage of Li Shanqing and Weiwei on the agenda.Although both of them are second marriages, they are still married. Mama Jiang and Mama Qu regard them both as their own children, so they have to make a big deal. I also agree. They have been in the village for so long. There was nothing festive about it, so I just took this opportunity to make the village lively.

We also asked Weiwei and Li Shanqing about where they plan to live after they get married. If they still want to live at home, then we have to clean up the room on the second floor of the house, and we need to have a new house anyway. It seems that if they plan to go out alone, it happens that the spring plowing is over now, and they can find someone to build a house for them, but they may not be in a hurry.

Weiwei and Li Shanqing both meant to continue living at home, saying that they were a family, so where would they move? If they would move out after they got married, they would not get married.

As soon as I heard it, yes, this is still addicting.There was no way, and in the next few days we happily tidied up their new houses, repainted the walls, and paved the floor, trying to do our best based on the existing conditions.

Li Cheng looked at the brand-new room, the festive curtains, and the envious big bed, his eyes turned red.She said sourly: "Sister, I'm your younger brother. When I get married in the future, you have to give me such a good room."

I was cleaning the glass next to me. When I heard about Chengzi's work, I hurried to him and said, "What's the matter, you also have a goal. Why don't you usually watch your actions?" Could it be the spring relationship? Everyone is starting to think about spring.

"Tch, revolutionary workers, even if they take actions, they are secretly. Besides, they are just thoughts now." Li Cheng looked at me with contempt and said.

His eyes made me angry, and he threw the rag in his hand on him, and said, "Don't worry, my sister will definitely give you a big deal when you get married, and you can find a place now , when your big brother Li finished his work, he will build a house for you. Now that you have a house and a land, the little girl now is not so hard to let you choose. But now, you vote for me quickly Rag to go."

Li Cheng quickly caught the hidden weapon I threw, squatted down, washed the rag in the clear water basin on the ground, and shouted, "Sister, you are so cruel, I am your brother, how could you You want to drive me away so viciously, hum, tell you, if you want to kick me away, don’t even think about it, I’ll be with you for the rest of my life, wherever you are, I’ll be there.”

I listen to this strange, these one or two don’t know good people, I worked so hard to build a new house for them, and I was disgusted by them, I almost called her a vicious sister who abused her younger brother , is there any reason for this?
"Okay, stay where you love, no one cares about you, but tell your sister first, why don't you want a new house." It is to prepare a new house.Before the end of the world, an important condition for a man and a woman to get married is that the man must have a house. The house is not good, the house is too small, and the transportation is inconvenient. Without glancing at you.It's good now, it just happened to be transferred, and the two men in the family are so dependent on the house that they won't leave.

Li Cheng listened to my question, gave me a blank stare, and said without hesitation: "Am I that stupid? I lost the watermelon and picked sesame seeds. What's so good about the new house? No one cooks for me. It's snowing and it's only me." Going out to sweep the snow, why should I find that to suffer. Besides, where can I eat meat every day? It’s just our house, so I won’t move if I’m killed.”

I listened and understood, it turns out that he is a lazy foodie.
