On the correct posture for farming in the last days

Chapter 39 Memories
The children naturally had no objections, they were in constant panic, and it was a blessing to have someone to accept and feed them.

So the two boys were adopted by the village.

It was even faster when people from Gugouzi Village joined in.

It was estimated to be half a month, but it actually took a month.

The walls are all finished, leaving only a living hole below Zhoujiazhuang.It was made with an iron gate from an old house.

The car can go in.

At this time, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and it was only half a month before the New Year.

But it seems that with this wall, the villagers feel a lot more at ease.

On the third day after the wall was finished, the troops came again, and this was the last time this year.

There are more supplies this time, for everyone to celebrate the New Year.

More ham and stuff, and some frozen meat, not great, but not bad either.

Rice noodles, oil, various seasonings, some cotton clothes and quilts, as well as dried goods and dried fruits.

There are even a few firecrackers. In fact, the village is not allowed to set off firecrackers anymore, but this year, I probably want to encourage everyone.

Of course, there are firecrackers, and of course there are couplets and New Year pictures.

But what everyone cares more about is the hundreds of columbariums.

Feeling very heavy, the troops also praised the village for doing a good job and arranged for all the people from Gugouzi Village to come.

So they took the dead away again.

I encouraged everyone and said goodbye in the next year.

"If there are signs of thawing at that time, we will send the seeds. Fellow villagers, let's have a good New Year." Squad Leader Xie said.

The village head waved them off.

To be honest, it is really a comfort to see people in the army every month now that the only communication left is the radio.

This means that the social order has not completely collapsed, which means that they are still managed by the government.

Not everyone will have the heart to become a king on their own, and the vast majority of people still want to live a stable life.

Those who sent the troops away, after temporarily reassuring, everyone will prepare for the New Year.

Zhou Zhigao's family said that they wanted to kill a pig and a sheep.There is not much meat, and it is said that the second child's family is also back for the New Year, so they can't sell too much.

But there are also some that can be sold, and we will see how much is left.

The people in the village are also happy. Although grain or salt is used to buy meat nowadays, everyone is not reluctant at all.

As far as today is concerned, every household still has food in storage.

However, Liu Ya's family has no shortage of food right now, so they ordered 8 catties of fine grains, and [-] catties of coarse grains for a catty of pork.If it is mutton, it is ten catties of fine grains and fifteen catties of coarse grains.

Fine grains are about flour, rice, mung beans, and soybeans.In fact, even in a good year, a 50-jin bag of flour costs 95-100 yuan.No wheat is grown here, but they are all bought.

Rice is a bit more expensive, 20 yuan for a bag of 60 catties. Of course, because of the drought here, there is no rice.

As for soybeans and mung beans, they have more functions, so they are considered fine grains.In previous years, soybeans cost about two yuan a catty.Mung beans are a bit more expensive, five yuan a catty.

So when ordering, I said that if I only use soybeans and mung beans, I can lose two catties, which is not cheap anyway.

Coarse grains are mainly corn and sorghum locally. When corn was the most expensive per catty, it was only [-] yuan per catty, and sorghum was only [-] cents.

There are also some naked oats, buckwheat and the like, which are basically not expensive.

It is also used to feed animals, and it is not yet the time for people to eat like this.In any case, coarse grains are cost-effective.

In any case, Liu Ya's family suffered a disadvantage.

After all, according to the price of pork when it was still able to be traded normally this year, it was already 26 a catty, and that was still in the morning market.If you come to the village to sell it, it will be 27.

Mutton is even more expensive, all above 35.

Therefore, although people in the village think it is very expensive, it is because food is scarce now. If the food is sold for money and then meat is sold, it will be different.

So no one thinks that Liu Ya's house is black, it just depends on whether their own family can afford it.

Of course, potatoes and sweet potatoes are also collected, which are counted as coarse grains, but it is not recommended that you change these things.After all, it’s okay to eat less meat, but this kind of high-starch food is really a good thing to fill your stomach.

Everyone thought so too.

Once the price is set, no matter if no one will buy it, they will kill it.

When slaughtering pigs, Zhou Zhong, who is the best at slaughtering pigs in the village, was called. His father used to be the best at butchering pigs, and he is also very good now.

But his son Zhou Hu will not.

It's normal that young people in the village don't know how to do it.

He also called Lord Zhou and his wife over, and Xiao Chen directly suggested that all the militiamen from Zhoujiazhuang should be called over for a meal.

Of the six newcomers in Gugouzi Village, four went to Caojiaao, and two joined Zhoujiazhuang.

Of the two, one of them is really a high-end talent.

This person is Wu Qi, and he is actually the vice president of a company in a first-tier city in the south.

This person is really lucky, he just came back to visit his parents, but he also wanted to persuade the elders to go to the city, and he also bought a house there.

As a result, he came across this incident when he came back. The city he stayed in no longer exists on the map. The tsunami and earthquake completely destroyed it.

Naturally, his career was also ruined, but he wasn't married yet, and if he came back single, at least his life was saved.

His parents also called God to bless him.

Now they have all moved into the yard of the original family in Zhoujiazhuang. That family is unlucky, and the whole family is gone.

Wu Qi is exactly 30 years old this year, and he can be seen to be a refined man.

After joining the militia, it can be regarded as a firm foothold here.

He still had a lot of conversations with Xiao Chen, after all, both of them were engaged in finance before.

It's just a pity that after a disaster, don't mention finance.

It's all back to barter, and what I learned is useless.

But Liu Ya was happy to have someone to talk with, no matter how well Xiao Chen adapted, he grew up in the city after all.

She herself has a sense of gap, let alone Xiao Chen?

On the day of the slaughter of the pig, Liu Ya's house was very lively, but the people who came were well behaved and did not walk around.

Just have to look around, there is no way.

Zhou Zhong put a layer of cloth on his head over his big padded jacket and killed the pig.

The pig had a premonition of fate and howled endlessly, but it was still not worth the blow.

Ma Fen brought a clean big iron basin to catch the pig's blood, which is also a good thing.

Zhou Zhong became more and more proficient in boiling water, plucking hair and dividing meat.

Soon it was the turn of the sheep, the same action.

However, Zhou Zhigao knows how to skin the sheep himself. In the past, there were a lot of sheep in the village. After returning the farmland to forests, there were fewer places to graze the sheep. He was afraid of biting caragana, so he didn't raise them much.

At that time, every household had a few sheep, and then there was a special idiot herding sheep in the village, who took them away from each household every day and sent them back at night.

They graze on the hills all day long.

Later, that idiot disappeared, and the policy happened to be like this, and there were very few people raising sheep.

Liu Ya still remembered that when that fool came to her house for dinner, he ate several rice buns in one go.

　Ah, it's all memories.
