Chapter 157, digging smoke box

The first to go is located in the new house on the street, enter the door is a small house tied to the horse, the small house has no wall, only a fence, this is the place to tie the horse to the guests who come to visit, turn left and go straight is the yard, the place where the horse shed is about 20 meters, is the monument of the surrender. After the surrender of Japan, it was He Yingqin who accepted the surrender as a representative of China, which also washed away the shame of his signing of the "He-Mei Agreement" that year.

"Hey!" Li Yuanfang said, "How much scolding he received when he signed the agreement with Umezu Mijiro! If he hadn't gone when he surrendered, he wouldn't have been able to turn over at all." ”

"It shouldn't have been his fault that he signed the agreement. Li Ya said, "The highest status back then was Lao Jiang, followed by Wang Jingwei who wrestled with Lao Jiang, and Lao Jiang's subordinates, the highest status is him, can Lao Jiang not guard against him?

"Yes. When the Xi'an Incident occurred, Lao He advocated fighting, probably because he wanted to be the boss and avenge the revenge of the year by the way. Li Yuanjing said with a smile, "In this way, if he succeeded back then, we Xingyi would still be able to produce a general and unified." ”

"Think about it beautifully, Lao Wang was not a traitor at that time, how could his status be comparable to Lao Wang?" Li Ya said with a smile.

"But he's not bad, he went to the United States to retire when he was old, and he just died last year. Shu Yun said.

"He only died last year?" Everyone was very surprised, there was no family here, after a long time, it felt like it had been a long time ago, and they naturally thought that he was dead, who knows, they were still alive last year.

He Yingqin's former residence has been renovated, and the furniture inside has been found and put on display, with some photos and introductions.

"Don't say it, he writes well with a brush. The eldest brother said.

"People have been reading books for so many years, and at that time there were no pens and pencils, so what did they use without a brush? The sister-in-law said.

The house is a triple courtyard, the main house and the side room of the two times are connected, while turning and looking, it takes almost an hour to finish.

When he went out, Li Yuanjing asked, "Do you want to go to Maling River after eating or go to Maling River to eat again?"

"What kind of Maling River to go. Li Ya smiled, "This is a new house, and there are old houses in Fengbo Bay above." ”

"And the old house?"

Book a meal at the restaurant on the side, and then drive to Fengbo Bay. There were a few families when they entered, and Li Yuanfang pointed to a few cacti more than one meter high and said, "Look, there are a few big cacti, they must have cactus peaches when they are so big." ”

"It's so big, it's definitely over. The second brother said.

"Why don't you dig two and plant them back?" Li Yuanfang said, "I haven't eaten fairy peaches yet, so I don't know if they're delicious or not." ”

"I haven't eaten either. The eldest brother said, "But it's much colder there than here, and the cactus may not be able to survive." ”

"To live is to live, but not to grow well. Li Ya said, "The altitude here is low, the town next door is the lake, and the temperature is high in winter, and we have heavy snow there every winter, which will freeze the shoots that grow out of the cactus that year." ”

Entering the real former residence, suddenly Li Yuanhe shouted: "Ah." This is He Shaoyu, I always thought it was Young Master He. "The dialect here is pronounced by both Master and Yu, so I can't tell whether it is Shao Yu or Young Master. Lao He's family was a big family back then, and it felt right to be called a young master.

"Everyone else has run out, but he is still at home, and he is still fighting with [You], [Hit], [Team], who will die if he doesn't die?" said the eldest brother. He Shaoyu fought with the guerrillas in Li Ya's town back then, and I don't know what their family thought, it seems that there is no artillery. After He Shaoyu was killed, his skull was cut off and hung on the gate of the township office.

When his daughter-in-law learned that he had been killed, she brought people to fight again, which was the fiercest battle in the town, but fortunately, although the opponent had machine guns, there were still no guns, and the guerrillas still held on.

However, it is a pity that one of the guerrillas with accurate marksmanship and repeated exploits in battle was framed by the descendants of the bandits he killed that year, [criticized], [fight], and died. Many people who knew about this said that if he hadn't left the army back then, not only would he not have died like this, but he would still be an official. However, at that time, many of them in the guerrillas went home to become peasants after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they just had the idea of going home to live a small life without fighting.

After reading it, I set off after eating and went to Maling River. Maling River is known as the scar on the earth, along the river for dozens of miles, cliffs, picturesque, a river scenery.

The bottom of the valley has not been trimmed, it is not easy to walk, I walked a section below, came up and walked along the canyon, and looked as I walked. In the afternoon, when the sun was down, I got in the car and went home.

"When are you leaving this year?" Uncle Mingcheng came over and asked Li Ya, "The people who opened the pharmaceutical factory in the past will come with you." ”

"You can go any day. Li Ya said, "If you want to leave early, you can leave early, and if you want to leave later, you can leave later, not bad these days." ”

"The pharmaceutical factory is almost ready, and when the time comes, see how much money is missing, you can cushion it first. Uncle Mingcheng said. Although the pharmaceutical company has prepared several millions, it may not be enough, so I will tell Li Ya first. This is the pharmaceutical factory of the production team, if you don't have enough money, don't ask him to borrow it, who will borrow?

"Yes. When the time comes, I'll see how much difference I make. Li Ya said, "Actually, if I started to do it when I went to inspect it last year, now the pharmaceutical factory has been built." ”

"When I went to see it, they retreated as soon as they asked for so much money. Uncle Mingcheng said, "Now that they have millions in their hands, they dare to go there and build a small factory first." ”

"What kind of small factory to build, if you want to build it, build a bigger one. Shu Yun smiled when he heard this, "Build a bigger one, when people see that the scale is so large, they must believe in the qualifications of the pharmaceutical factory, and the drugs produced by the pharmaceutical factory will sell a little better." ”

"Build a big one?" Uncle Mingcheng looked at Li Ya and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Absolutely. The bigger the factory, the more people believe in the capabilities of the pharmaceutical company, and the better the drug sales. Li Ya said.

"Okay, then I'll be bold too!" Uncle Mingcheng said, "You can cushion the difference first, even if it fails over there, isn't there still a pharmaceutical factory here, and slowly make money to pay you back." ”

The next day, Li Ya was squatting on the yard dam to brush his teeth, and his grandfather passed by the door with a hoe and a sieve for sieving mud.

"The whole smoke room. It's time to throw smoke after a few days. Grandpa said.

Now the tobacco seedlings should be sown first, transplanted into the nutrient bag or nutrient ball when the tobacco seedlings are two or three inches, and then transplanted to the ground when the tobacco seedlings grow to about five inches. After that, weeding, spraying, foot leaves, topping, bud killing, and baking. The steps are tedious, but they are much more lucrative than growing food. People who smoke make a very big contribution to the development of the countryside. If it weren't for growing tobacco, how much income would a rural family have in a year? Don't you see, how many years has the price of grain not risen since then?

Li Ya remembers very well that at that time, as soon as it was said on the Internet that grain prices were low and farmers were very miserable, some people said that if grain prices rose, it would be farmers who would suffer. Why is it that it is the peasants who suffer? If the price of grain has risen, the price of other things has risen even more. Is it not possible to control the prices of other things in the same way as the price of grain? Or is it because the peasants are uninformed, cowardly, and easy to bully, and others are not easy to bully, so the peasants are responsible for everything? What do you also say about attaching importance to agriculture, and that every year, the first and second of the year, the text, and the piece are all agricultural problems, but what has changed over the years? Just like the saying in the feudal period, when agriculture was emphasized over commerce, it was not that agriculture was valued and commerce was neglected, but that agriculture was heavily taxed and commerce was lightly taxed. And the peasants, as long as they live a little better than they did a few decades ago, are silly and happy all day long, feeling much better and satisfied than when they don't have enough to eat.

"Mom, do you want to dig the smoke box too?" Li Ya had just finished brushing his teeth, when he saw his mother find a sieve to sift through the mud and asked.

"The family is in order, and my family can't be left behind. Li's mother said. According to Li Ya and Shu Yue's ideas, the two of them only need to grow a little enough to eat for themselves, and they don't need to grow flue-cured tobacco, and it's not that they don't have money. But the second elder felt that every family planted it, and he had to plant a little bit himself.

"I won't grow tobacco in my house. Li Ya said, "It's very hard to plant smoke. ”

"Don't you plant tobacco and order grain?" Li Ma said, "You can't make money by ordering grain, just point (plant) and deliver food." ”

When I came to the field of the whole smoke box, many people had already come, the adults were talking and working, and the children were running around the adults and playing, which was very lively.

The smoke compartment is more than one meter wide, first dig the soil inside four or five inches deep, sieve the excavated soil with a sieve, and pour the coarse mud mass to the side, which is not used, and the fine one is left to make nutrient soil.

Li Ya and Shu Yun stood on both sides of the sieve, holding the sieve, Li Ya said: "Follow my rhythm, I'll pull you to push, you pull me to push, yes, that's all." ”

After sifting for a while, Li Ya felt very troublesome and said, "There will be no need to do this in the future." Find a factory to make some floating plates, and you don't need dirt. You don't need to put a nutrition bag and pinch the nutrition ball, just pull it out of the floating tray and plant it. ”

"What kind of floating plate?" the second grandfather asked.

"It's made of foam, with a grid in the middle, and you can mix the foam particles with dirt and dung and put them in it, and then sprinkle smoke. Li Ya said, "Dig such a cigarette box, take a thick plastic film pad and fill it with water underneath, and put the floating tray in it." ”

"Water doesn't soak the smoke, does it?" said Grandpa.

"The float floats on the water, and the smoke doesn't bubble. Li Ya said.

"Then try it next year, and if it's good, you can do it the year after next year, which can save a lot of trouble. The second grandfather said.

As soon as I was in the morning, I dug a smoke box, and Shu Yue came to call for dinner.

After eating, Li's mother said that she wanted to (plant) the grain, and Li Ya wanted to play, so she said, "Let's order it again tomorrow morning." ”
