Chapter 9, as busy as spring

Li Ya took his uncle to see the crops planted on the hillside, and then poured back to set the rabbits.

After getting off the sleeve, Li Ya and his brother-in-law went out of the col and looked for fungus mushrooms in the forest. The brother-in-law said to Li Ya: "The brigade primary school has resumed classes, and there are not enough teachers, so the brigade asked for my opinion a few days ago." But as a teacher, I have to prepare for class and correct homework, so I don't have time to take care of my family. When the uncle said this to Li Ya, he didn't need Li Ya to give a suggestion, but simply told Li Ya the news.

Li Ya thought about it and agreed: "If you are a teacher, you will be a teacher, at least you don't have to go to the field, as for the family, I didn't grow such a piece of food, so I couldn't starve the two families." As a teacher, I still have some free time, read more books, and maybe I can turn into a regular and serve the country's job. Uncle, I've been reading the previous textbooks now, prepare early, the commune has several recommended places to go to university in a year, don't really go to college and don't understand anything, you won't be able to learn anything in a few years. If you go to university, it will be completely different, you will be a cadre when you come out, you don't have to sweat vigorously in the countryside, although it is all revolutionary work, there is no distinction between high and low, but you can make greater contributions, of course, you have to be positive. ”

When the uncle heard Li Yabalabala say straightforwardly, he thought in his heart: Can you still say this? It is obviously selfish, but it can be said so openly and selflessly. How does this feel like talking to my own instructor who is good at fighting the rebels? Uncle Li Ya's instructor, it can be said that he fought with the rebels, and several soldier squad leaders who were beaten and reported were all saved by the instructors, although they were retired and recovered, they were not criticized and reformed.

The brother-in-law said to Li Ya: "With your level of speaking, you can be a commune cadre." ”

Li Ya shook his head and said: "I just say a few words from time to time, if you really become a commune cadre, you may make mistakes in a few days and be beaten." ”

After returning from Li Ya's house, my brother-in-law went to school to attend classes, and he was also a decent person in the brigade, and was respected by parents who had children in the brigade, after all, they were their own children. And when Li Ya arrives at the production team to harvest rapeseed wheat, he no longer has to herd pigs, and the pigs in the future will be locked up in the pen and served as uncles.

Wheat and rapeseed are interplanted with corn, so be careful not to step on the corn seedlings when you go to the field.

Li Ya was assigned to carry wheat, although Li Ya is now the third strongman in the production team, but he still feels that it is not good after two trips, the sun is basking in the sun, and the temperature will rise for a while and sweat will come down, and his face will be hot and spicy. On the third turn, Li Ya deliberately observed the terrain and felt that he could go to the edge of the ground by digging out a few ramp trucks.

Li Ya deliberately found the uncle and said his thoughts, and the uncle said: "Let's dig a few slopes, although the road is much farther away, but it is better than a human back." You say, why didn't anyone think about it before? How many years have you been tired for so many years?" In fact, people are like this, they are always used to the everyday things in front of them, and they feel that they should be like this. If Li Ya is also used to it, he will not think about changing it. After all, Li Ya also grew up in a mountain village in the previous life, and it was the town that decided to build the road to the hillside, and Li Ya suddenly realized that the road should have been built a long time ago.

Uncle began to recruit people to build the road, at this time the advantage of more people was revealed, several places started at the same time, digging the soil, moving stones, building the roadbed, a simple dirt road slowly extended, I don't know how many years of existence of the big stone back and forth several times, you can go to the car.

The few oxen and horse-drawn carts in the production team were put on and drove to the hillside, and the flatbed cart was also pulled out, and two people mastered one.

The uncle saw that the efficiency had been greatly improved, and the people were not so tired, so he said happily: "In the future, there will be no need for people to carry manure, and the wheelbarrow can be used in battle, fast and easy." ”

Li Yazheng and Brother Yuanjing walked on the side with a cart, and answered: "You can also save a few days of food for the production team." ”

Brother Yuanjing went further: "Even when you eat a big pot of rice, you can save money, you don't have to exert as much effort as usual, and your digestion should be slower, and you won't have to eat so much to be full." As he spoke, he gestured to his belly.

Li Ya hurriedly stabilized the cart, stopped and said, "I said Comrade Li Yuanjing, when I could let go, I squeaked, and the car almost overturned." ”

The uncle snorted and said, "He picks up the wheat grains that have overturned by himself, and he is not allowed to ask for leave to be absent from work, and he will pick them up at night with a kerosene lamp." ”

Li Ya said proudly: "Look, look, if I hadn't stabilized the car, you would have been busy at night, you should thank me." ”

Brother Yuanjing said: "Doesn't it mean that I have eaten, I have never eaten enough." ”

This age is the age of eating long meals, that is, the origin of the saying "half the child, eat the dead man", Li Ya can empathize. When I was in high school in my last life, I finally saved some money, and a few classmates went to the small restaurant next to the school to eat, where the rice was free, and four or five classmates ate all the meals prepared by others, and the restaurant owner was shocked. The second time I went to the boss, he first said that he would charge more money for the meal, and a few went to other restaurants, so the restaurants around the school were all rounded, and a few foodies became famous in the surrounding restaurant world. At this time, there is no oil in the dish, and there is still physical work, and the amount of food is even more terrifying. The average adult eats three bowls and is full, but a kid at this age has to ask for five bowls, and he is hungry fast, anyway, Li Ya and Li's father and Li mother eat about the same for each meal.

Li Ya said: "Otherwise, Brother Yuanjing, you go back and tell the second uncle that if you kill a pig this year, the oil and water will be heavy, and the amount of food will be a little smaller, and it will be about a year, and the amount of food will drop after that." "Li's father and Li's mother recently saw that their son's food was rising, so they discussed killing one and selling one of the two pigs in the family when they were older, and eating it with Li Ya first, and killing it without waiting for the New Year.

Brother Yuanjing said: "I still have to sell it for money." ”

Li Ya smiled: "Why don't I borrow half of it from you when my family kills?"

Yuanjing pouted: "If I borrow it, I don't know what year it will be able to pay it back." ”

Li Ya also knew the situation of Li Yuanjing's family, and said, "You can pay it back after you break up." "In fact, the college entrance examination will be resumed next year, and Li Yuanjing can be admitted to the university if he reviews it well, even if he can't get into the university, as soon as the household contract responsibility system is implemented, the family sideline is also released, and it is quite easy to return half a pig.

On the first day, there was a delay due to the construction of the road, so the wheat was transported back to the threshing field in the evening. The next day, Uncle took a few of the teams to join the wheat cutting team, so that the progress on both sides was the same until it was completed. The spring harvest is half done, just waiting for the field to dry and put it into storage.

After harvesting the grain and then planting the seedlings, Li Ya looked at the paddy field and said: "This paddy field can harvest one season of grain a year, it's not cost-effective, you can plant one season of rape." Find a place on the hillside to grow rape seedlings early, and after harvesting the rice and plowing the field, you can plant rapeseed. ”

The fourth uncle who planted the seedlings next to Li Ya said: "Don't look for a job for us to do, look at the seedlings you planted, the depth is shallow, and look at how I planted it." "Li Ya has not planted seedlings twice in his two lives combined, it is already very good to be able to plant them like this, at least the seedlings have not floated, he has also planted them in the space, and they grow very well. Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Li Ya still carefully observed the fourth uncle's movements and the depth of rice planting.

With the guidance of the fourth uncle, Li Ya's technology of transplanting rice has made rapid progress, although the speed is slow, the seedlings are neat, and they are all energetic. In this way, Li Ya learned to plant rice again. He became more and more like a member of the team, the same old clothes, the same straw sandals, and the same hat.

Finally finished planting the four rows of seedlings, Li Ya straightened his waist, felt the soreness on his waist, sat on the ridge and rubbed his waist and said: "My tender waist can't stand the toss, I need to rest for a while." "Who said that Sanchun is not busy in autumn?

Sitting straight for a while, Li Ya picked a leaf casually, and blew it after trying it, this technique of blowing leaves was learned by his eldest brother in his previous life. A song by Wang Luobin's "The Bird of Youth Does Not Come Back" blew the song that originally felt the passing of youth into a light and joyful one. Li Ya's fourth aunt said to Li's mother: "The third year of junior high school is so good, and I am overjoyed when I listen to it." ”

Mother Li is modest in her mouth, and her heart is also bubbling, her son is becoming more and more capable, and Mother Li is very happy.
