On the correct posture for farming in the last days

Chapter 72

To celebrate the chick hatching, they killed a big one that night.

Stewed fragrant.

Now that it was decided to pick up old man Zhang, Liu Ya and Xiao Chen went to pick him up the next day.

The elementary school in the village was very dilapidated at the beginning. When Liu Ya first came to the village, the elementary school was dilapidated and she did not study here.

They all went to Maojiazhuang to study with the children in the village.

Yes, at that time Maojiazhuang was not what it is now.

Then I went to read elsewhere.

But later the elementary school in the village was rebuilt. Although there was only an elementary school all the time, even with at least a dozen students at the time, it was still well built.

It was also lively.

Now, although it has been empty for a few years.But because the house was occupied by villagers to store things, it didn't collapse or break.

But because it was built with funds from above, it cost a lot of money, but it is better than many houses in the village.

You can live in order.

Liu Ya reckoned that old man Zhang had everything in his house, so he could just move here.So nothing is prepared inside.

After going to the county seat, the two went straight to old man Zhang's house.

I saw old man Zhang sweeping the yard, and the little girl was washing clothes.

It looks very tired.

"Come on, come in." Old man Zhang laughed.

In the county town, there are still many courtyard houses, but there are very few such exquisite courtyard houses.

It is inconspicuous from the outside, but when you come in, you can tell that this was once a wealthy family.

But it was clearly damaged.

"Has anyone come in?" Zhuang Jiaojiao asked.

"Hey... that is, those books are worthless. Everything that can be eaten and used at home has been robbed twice. We two old and young, we only dare to hide in the cellar when we come. The cellar is out of the way."

Old man Zhang poured water for them.

"It all depends on the government's relief, otherwise the two of us would not be able to survive. I'll forget it, but I'm over 60, what can my granddaughter do?"

"Excuse me, I'm taking the liberty to ask, are you the only two in your family?" Xiao Chen said.

"Hey..." Old man Zhang sat down, "Where is it? I have three sons and one daughter."

He took a sip of water with difficulty.

Xiao Chen and Liu Ya sat down.

"The old family is in the United States, and they come back more than once a year. He married an American wife and gave birth to two daughters. The second family is in Shanghai all the year round...a family of four...the third family is mine. The granddaughter's parents were originally in the provincial capital, and when the accident happened, they also went to Shanghai for business."

"Now... it's all gone."

The volcano buried his eldest son's family, and the tsunami buried his second and third son's family.

"My daughter is not married, and she is in the capital with her boyfriend. After the accident, I made a phone call, but I haven't contacted me since then. I haven't seen her in the past few months... I don't know if she is dead or alive. Right now, if it wasn't I still have a child like this, I just can't survive."

"My wife's stomach cancer disappeared a few years ago, and this family has lost." The old man wiped his tears.

The little girl who was sitting washing clothes also started to cry, sobbing softly.

"Then... pack up and go with us. If you go to the village, at least you will have enough to eat and be safe," Liu Ya said.

The old man wiped away his tears: "Okay, good."

Then she got up: "Niuniu, don't wash it, just wring it dry, let's pack up and go to the village with our brothers and sisters."

Niuniu stood up and nodded: "Thank you brother and sister."

Liu Ya patted her head, in this environment, this kind of child is the most pitiful.

According to Mr. Zhang's family background, this child should have been a little princess.It's just that when I come back for a summer vacation, I don't have my parents anymore.

But fortunately he came back, otherwise...

It took most of the day to clean up the house for the old and the young.

Forget the ones that were robbed, and let go of some unimportant ones.

Fortunately, today is Xiao Chen's car, which has enough space.

It was afternoon when we returned to the village.

The village head has been waiting here at Zhoujiazhuang, and when he saw someone coming back, he greeted him with a smile.

Before I could say a few words, I saw a man from the village approaching: "Isn't this Principal Zhang?"

"Which Principal Zhang?"

"Principal Zhang of No. [-] Middle School! He is also my daughter's head teacher."

Generally speaking, the principal does not teach the class, but there are exceptions.

Everyone said, well, this No. [-] middle school is a new school that has only existed in the past ten years, and it has surpassed the previous No. [-] middle school in one fell swoop.

Many children want to get in the exam, but they still can't get in.

Naturally, some people follow the principal's path. Of course, people in the village have not followed through, but they have seen it.

For example, your man, Zhou Haiping, met him twice.

As soon as the headmaster was mentioned, Zhou Haiping's daughter also came to have a look, isn't it!

"Teacher Zhang!"

The elder didn't recognize it for a while, but after a closer look, he got an impression: "Student Zhang."

With this recognition, those in the village who are not satisfied with having a meal have nothing to say.

How educated are the principals of these three middle schools?
Enthusiasm came.

By the way, he praised Xiao Chen and Liu Ya for their discerning eyes.

The elementary school has been tidied up, and there are three classrooms, but now there are not so many children, one is enough.After that, divide into grades in detail.

Now everyone is not asking for anything, just asking not to be blind.

In other words, no matter how difficult it is for Douding, who is seven or eight or ten years old, he grew up in the new society after all, so what are the parents willing to call him?
What's more, some people die so many people, leaving behind a child, it's like a baby bump.

Naturally it is reluctant.

Isn't it good to send it to school?

Teacher Zhang lived in the village so smoothly. The old and the young are very grateful to Liu Ya's family.

When the crops in the field finally grew, everyone saw that something was wrong.

The seedlings are really sparse.

Potatoes, millet, and millet are not bad, but corn and sorghum are not.Especially corn, there are hardly any seedlings.

The crops are really sparse, but the weeds are flourishing.

Truly, lusher than ever.

Although there were weeds in the past, when the ground was first plowed and planted with crops, there would not be so many weeds.

Especially this year, there are basically no chemical fertilizers in the fields, and every household uses natural fertilizers.

How can weeds grow so fast?

At the same time, where there is no land, weeds grow better than in previous years.

Even in just half a month, the mountain is already lush green.

This was not possible in previous years.

This area in the northwest is far from being so green in midsummer.

But this year, obviously the vegetation has grown too well.

Liu Ya looked at the warm shed that had been tidied up yesterday, and there were so many weeds today, she just shook her hand and left angrily.

I can't afford to wait.

The old people in the village got together and discussed what was wrong, but they had never seen such a battle.

This weed grows well, and the branches have many branches.

At the entrance of the village, some old men murmured: "I think the corn planted by Zhou Man's family is growing well. What's going on in the field? There are no seedlings, and it's not yellow when it comes out."
