Chapter 253: The Present Situation
Ying Ang didn't want to stay in Xinmin Village by himself, he just didn't want to embarrass Zheng Fangyi and the ancestors of the Qin family.
Now that the old lady said this, he was silently relieved in his heart, and even his eyebrows were a lot more relaxed.
When the car passed by Xinmin Village, the old lady still couldn't hold back and kept staring out the window.
At this time, it is the time when all kinds of vegetables grow in the field.
As far as I could see, the fields on both sides of the road were all green. The fields were filled with freshly formed paddy, and in the fields were large patches of corn and other vegetables.
"This year's harvest should be good!" the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that everyone should be able to have a good year this year." ”
The old lady has lived most of her life in the countryside, and her concern for the things in this field is already in her bones, and she can't erase it.
"Hmm. Qin Mutong responded, "The climate has been very good in the past two years, it will rain when it should rain, and the sun will come out when it should be sun." As long as it is a diligent person, the harvest is not far off. ”
No matter how much God appreciates his face, there are still people who are lazy and lazy, and they can always live their lives like those disaster years.
The old lady nodded and said with a smile: "In more than a month, both sides of this highway should look good." ”
In just over a month, it will be the season to harvest the corn. And at this time, the people who live on the edge of the national highway are almost covered with corn kernels drying on the dam in front of the door.
Some people's dams are not dry enough, and people will spread corn kernels directly on both sides of the national highway to dry, leaving only one lane for a good national highway.
Even because of this phenomenon, there are no fewer car accidents, and no one has relented.
The main reason is that the rural people do not have a strong sense of law and security.
Many people's dams are still muddy, drying corn kernels on the mud ground, and then returning home, they have to mix a lot of soil particles inside, and everyone has to find a way to separate these soil particles, but it's too troublesome.
And these corn kernels will only be harvested by the people at the grain station when they are dried.
It's just that those who are ready to keep their own corn kernels will naturally dry the corn kernels as much as possible, which is more convenient for storage. And those who plan to sell to grain stations will be almost as dry as they are dried.
Leave a little moisture in the corn kernels, how much can be weighed, and it can be sold for more money when the time comes.
Including when everyone sells rice, in fact, it is also operated in this way.
The people at the grain station also know this little trick of everyone, as long as they don't do too much, they will basically still accept it. But if there are those who treat the people at the grain station as fools and sell the grain that is clearly undried, of course they will not accept it!
This phenomenon of drying grain on the road, let alone now, is very common even in another ten years.
Qin Mutong shook his head and said: "When everyone's life is better, everyone has a place to dry food, and this good highway will not be messed up." ”
Oh, yes!
Who really wants to dry grain on the road?
Isn't that impossible?
The old lady sighed and said, "I hope this day can come sooner!"
"Yes. Qin Mutong smiled and comforted the old lady and said, "The current policy is good, and everyone's life will definitely get better and better." ”
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Ying Ang drove by the door of Chen Ming's house.
Chen Ming and his father are now working on a construction site in the city, and they are so far away from home that they can't easily come back. Chen Baolan was imprisoned again, but the matter has not been reported back to the village, and no one in the village knows about it.
Now in the Chen family, there are only two old people left, and there is also Zheng Sifeng, who is at home with two children who are only ten years old.
Chen Ming's grandparents' health is notoriously bad, and they can do some light housework, and they don't even think about going to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the two old people's health was really not good, not only would they not be able to help the family, but they would also have to spend a lot of money to buy medicine every year, and the Chen family's life would not be so difficult.
And now, the strong laborers of the Chen family are not at home. Zheng Sifeng is a woman, she has to go to the field and do housework, and she has to take care of the elderly and children, and she doesn't know if she can bear it.
Qin Mutong's eyes flickered past the door of Chen's house, and she seemed to see Zheng Sifeng chopping weeds with a big kitchen knife in her own dam.
The two children of her family are also squatting on the side to help clean up.
The weeds are eaten by pigs, and they are also called pigweeds by the villagers. Most of the countrymen are still very poor. Many people were reluctant to eat the things they grew in the field, so they sold them all in the market for money.
This person is reluctant to eat well, let alone think about the pig's turn.
But if you want to feed the pigs to fatten, you can't eat them!
What should we do? So we look for the weeds that the pigs can eat, cut the weeds back and chop them up, mix them with water, cook them in a pot, and then give them to the pigs to eat.
Of course, pigs are not completely picky, and many weed pigs do not eat them.
Therefore, everyone refers to the wild grasses that can be eaten by pigs as pigweed.
Twenty years later, there are not many pigs in the countryside, and no one wants the weeds in the fields, and they all grow taller than people. But now, even pigweed is a very rare thing, and the easy place to find it has long been cut down.
Many adults are too busy inside and out to have time to mow pigweed. This work of cutting pigweed is usually given to children.
Some people fought a lot in private in order to grab pigweed.
It's not easy.
Although the figures of Zheng Sifeng and the others quickly disappeared from Qin Mutong's eyes, their dark and thin appearance was deeply engraved in Qin Mutong's mind and lasted for a long time.
The Chen family could have lived this day, but now it's good, being tossed by Chen Baolan like this, the life seems to have gone back for another twenty years, or even more than twenty years!
The situation of the Chen family was not only seen by Qin Mutong, but in fact, all the people in the car saw it.
The old lady couldn't bear it in her heart, but she still didn't say anything more.
The Chen family will come to this point, it is all self-made, and others really can't help it.
After passing by Xinmin Village, the car suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little frozen and tense.
Zheng Fangyi really couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to find a topic and said: "By the way, Ying Ang, you and Fang Jingyun, what's going on?"
Ying Ang was startled, and said hesitantly: "No, nothing happened!"
Zheng Fangyi gave him a blank look: "Are you all fools when we are? Just the way the two of you look when you meet together, if you two are fine, who will believe it?"
