Huang Xiaoming was puzzled: "Why do you want to do long-term work?"

"I want to redeem my piece of land. ”

"I'll go back and talk to him for you?"

"No, it's my responsibility, I have to take it. ”

Because Huang Xiaoming is Huang Daming's twin brother, Chen Lisong did not say the second half of the sentence: "The revenge must be avenged." ”

Early the next morning, Chen Lisong and Huang Xiaoming said goodbye to the people on the mountain and went down the mountain.

Along the way, Huang Xiaoming told Chen Lisong a lot of things about the nation and the country, but Chen Lisong thought that he and Huang Daming were twin brothers, and tried hard to distinguish him from Huang Daming, but he always felt that it was Huang Daming who walked beside him, and he didn't listen to a word of what Huang Xiaoming said, but he thought about going to Huang Daming's house to do long-term work, and the more he thought about it, the more determined he became, and he wanted to discuss it with his family as soon as he got home.

However, Chen Lisong just didn't speak, and Huang Xiaoming still chattered as much as he did when he was Chen Lisong's teacher, which made Chen Lisong very irritable.

After going down the wind mountain, she was about to pass by Linjiazhai, and Chen Songmei married into Lin Jinshun's family in Linjiazhai, that is, Lin Jinzhu's maiden family. Chen Lisong thought that if Huang Xiaoming went back to the school, the school would be in Chenzhuang, and he must have gone all the way to Chenzhuang, so he said to Huang Xiaoming: "Sir, when I go to my brother-in-law Lin Jinshun's house, you can go back to the school first." ”

"Okay! When you pass by your brother-in-law's house, you should go and see your sister. ”

So the two parted ways at the fork in the road, Huang Xiaoming went west to the school through Huangzhuang, and Chen Lisong went east to Linjiazhai to see his sister and brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law Lin Jinshun heard that Chen Lisong had gone to Fengshan, and when he saw him, he looked at him from head to toe, and asked, "What happened to the bandits?"

"What bandits? The people above are not bandits!"

"Not bandits?"

"Of course it's not a bandit, if it's a bandit, am I still standing in front of you?" Brother Jin Shun, I'll discuss something with you. ”

"Say it, Brother Lisong. ”

In the old village sister-in-law marriage customs, in order to be closer, the two families generally followed the daughter-in-law to call the other party's in-laws. For example, Lin Jinshun is Lin Jinzhu's elder brother, and as Chen Lisong, who married Lin Jinzhu, he followed Lin Jinzhu to call Lin Jinshun his brother; Lin Jinshun also married Chen Lisong's sister Chen Songmei, so he followed Chen Songmei to call Chen Lisong his brother, so one of them called Lin Jinshun as "Brother Jin Shun" and the other called Chen Lisong as "Brother Lisong".

"Now that our paddy field has been snatched away by Huang Daming, and after Jin Zhu gets married, I can't go to the mountains to hunt game like before. I want to go to Huang Daming's family to do long-term work, earn enough money to redeem the land, this year I have to keep filial piety with Jinzhu, so I don't plan to have children, during this time I want Jinzhu and my mother to live in Linjiazhai, I have to work hard and trouble Brother Jin Shun and Sister Song to help take care of them. ”

Lin Jinshun and Chen Songmei objected at the same time: "Don't go to the weasel's house to work as a long-term worker!"

Lin Jinshun said: "We also have a field here, although it is only a mountain field, but we can also support a family. ”

Of course, Chen Lisong knows that he can feed his family, but not long ago, he also picked grain seeds to fund Lin Jinshun's family, and now he wants to let the three members of the Chen family share the food, I am afraid it is not such a thing as "being able to feed a family".

The key to this matter is to discuss with his mother and daughter-in-law Lin Jinzhu before deciding, so Lin Jinshun and Chen Songmei's opposition will not affect Chen Lisong's thoughts.

After returning home, Chen Lisong called his mother and daughter-in-law to the main house, and the three of them sat at the dinner table.

"Mom, Jin Zhu, I want to go to Huang Daming's house as a long-term worker, first work as a year, and see if I can redeem the paddy field by the river, you two will live in my sister's house temporarily, is it okay?"

As soon as Lin Jinzhu heard the words "Huang Daming," she trembled with fear, and she changed her attitude of listening to Chen Lisong in the past, and said: "I don't agree! We have no land in Chenzhuang, so we can go to Linjiazhai to find mountain fields to plant, and some people have wasted their land there, so we can give them some money and take it over to plant." ”

Chen Lisong felt that when Lin Jinzhu said this, her breathing was short, as if she had a fever, and after finishing speaking, her cheeks flushed.

Chen Lisong reached out to touch her face and asked, "Are you sick?"

Lin Jinzhu turned his face sideways to avoid his outstretched hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not sick." ”

Chen Lisong's mother also said: "I don't agree with you to be a long-term worker. Even if you are a long-term worker, don't go to Huang Daming's house!"

Chen Lisong knew that this matter should not be discussed with them, but since they both objected, let it be put on hold for the time being.

Many things have already been thought out of how to do it, but it is often impossible to do it after discussion.

Chen Lisong had no choice but to discuss Lin Jinshun and Chen Songmei's proposal with them, and they both agreed.

Since I was in favor, I decided to move to Linjiazhai to live.

Chen Lisong quickly found two mountainous areas in Linjiazhai.

You can't grow rice in the mountains, but you can grow sweet potatoes. After the sweet potatoes are harvested, they can be shredded and dried into sweet potato rice.

Eighty years ago, in the mountainous areas of southern China, rice should be planted in paddy fields, and in mountainous areas where water is obtained by streams, far away from streams, if rice is planted, it is easy to be harvested because of lack of water, but sweet potatoes are not planted in paddy fields, but in dry land, so sweet potatoes and rice are often the staple food of many farmers in mountain villages.

Growing sweet potatoes, after harvesting sweet potatoes, in addition to making sweet potato rice, you can also produce sweet potato flour.

How is sweet potato rice and sweet potato flour made?

After planting the sweet potatoes, when the sweet potatoes are ripe, the farmers go to the fields to dig the sweet potatoes. After digging the sweet potato, the first process is to wash the soil outside the sweet potato, the second process is to shave the washed sweet potato into shreds, the third process is to pour the sweet potato shreds into a large wooden container called sweet potato podium to wash off the sweet potato flour, the fourth process is to wash the sweet potato shreds after washing the sweet potato flour in the sweet potato basket, drain it once or twice with water, and the fifth process is to evenly hang the sweet potato shreds on the oblique sweet potato pipes and expose them to dry, and it becomes sweet potato rice.

Of course, in the process of washing sweet potato flour, the water in the sweet potato tree must be clean, because sweet potato flour is actually a very good starch. In order to clean the starch, most people use a fence to stir it back and forth.

The family's ideas are very good, and Chen Lisong is also hardworking. He ploughed the rented mountainous land, and got some sweet potato seeds, picked up fertilizer, and carried water, and it took half a month to finally plant all the sweet potatoes.

Because of Chen Lisong's diligence, sweet potatoes grow very well. Chen Lisong always went to the field to pull weeds, loosen the soil, and toddle left and right everywhere.

Watching the sweet potato vine grow wildly day by day, he slowly walked out of the shadow of his father's accidental death, smiling every day.

One day, dark clouds were making a fuss on the top of Dao Gorge and Fengshan Mountain, and Chen Lisong was worried that if it rained, it would crush Yamada, so he put on a brown coat and went to the mountain.

Chen Lisong stood at the head of the field and looked up at the sky, at this time the dark clouds had begun to roll, and it seemed that a downpour was about to fall from the sky.

He looked at the western horizon again, and in the distance, he saw several cars driving from Tiancheng and hundreds of devil soldiers running on their backs, and in front of each car there was a plaster map of devils.
