Chapter 15, fertilization and weeding

The release of fish fry in Cuiwei Lake caused a sensation in the production team, after all, how many fish can be raised in such a large lake.

Two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, the production team began to work again, first sending the fermented manure to the mountain, and then putting fertilizer and weeding.

When the uncle mobilized and spoke, he said: "This year, the road has been repaired, and everyone is much easier than when they ordered the bud valley, and they all work hard, ah." ”

Because there was an uphill road, four people had to push a board truck, and in two days, all the manure was delivered to the ground. Then weed while putting the manure, bury the manure in the roots of the corn and pile it into a small pile with soil so that the corn is not easily blown down by the wind.

Now the corn is waist-deep and grows very thick, but there are more processes and the speed is much slower than when we first weeded. Everyone's meal has obviously become larger, and Li Ya is the same, he used to eat four bowls, but recently it was reduced to three bowls, and he found that if it goes on like this, five bowls is not a dream.

The young group is always the first to open the meal and put the bowl last, and one by one they make the uncle, the production captain, feel distressed. Li Yuanjing looked at the uncle's painful appearance, and suggested to the uncle: "Uncle, if the production team kills a pig in the next few days, put more oil, put more meat, it is better to fry fat, if the meat is thicker, it is best to ensure that you can't eat half of the grain." ”

The uncle glared and said, "A pig will be eaten in two days, and you will not be able to eat it for two more days if you use a pig's money to buy food." Li Ya understands in this second, why everyone knows that there is no oil and water in the stomach, and the food consumption is large, but it does not change, the root is still here. Li Ya couldn't help but feel that he was also the type of person who didn't eat minced meat.

After a tiring day, Li Ya went home with a flashlight and clean clothes, and walked towards Cuiwei Lake, where there was an endless stream of people who also went to bathe in the lake. Li Ya came to the place, put a flashlight and clean clothes, put on dirty clothes and went into the water to swing a few laps first, then took off his clothes and washed them, dried them aside, and soaked them for a while.

A group of people chatting in shallow water is the best way to relieve fatigue after a tiring day. Of course, young people are sometimes exchanging their doubts about learning. Li Ya and the two grandsons of the third master's family also communicated, but the three of them seemed a lot quieter. Li Ya soaked for a while, got up and said, "I'm going to eat right away, let's go together, there will be no light for a while." ”

Li Ya groped ashore to put on dry clothes, turned on the flashlight to get wet clothes, and there was a cry in the water, "Where did the flashlight come from?" Only the uncle in the village sometimes needs to go to the brigade for a meeting at night, so he gritted his teeth and bought one, and he is usually reluctant to use it, so everyone will be so surprised when they see the light of the flashlight.

Li Ya smiled: "Isn't it inconvenient at night? So I went to the county that day and bought two, and it is also convenient to go anywhere or go to the toilet at night." "Since there is a flashlight, then everyone goes ashore together, mainly to try the feeling of a flashlight, after all, the flashlight is the only electrical appliance in the village.

Li Ya looked at everyone taking turns playing flashlights, and said with a smile: "Let's try the switch, or I won't know how to switch the flashlight one day." ”

Slowly found the switch, and excitedly took it one by one, Li Ya looked at it and smiled in his heart: "In the future, everyone will live well, and then recall the mood of playing the flashlight at this time, I don't know if I will sigh that I have not seen it?"

"If you have money in the future, you must buy one, and you can count it as having an electrical appliance at home. The uncle of the family, who is older but only two years older than Li Ya, decided.

Li Ya smiled: "Uncle, this flashlight is very cheap, and when you buy a refrigerator and TV in the future, you will feel that this is not an electrical appliance." ”

When everyone heard this, they all made a noise: "Who can afford a refrigerator and a television?"

Li Ya said: "You calculate, selling four or five pigs a year is four or five hundred yuan, and the TV is almost four or five hundred yuan, and if it is good, it will not take a few years." ”

Everyone listened and said, "Four or five hundred, it's too expensive." ”

Li Yuanjing suggested: "Wouldn't it be okay to buy one of those ones." But I think it's better not to buy it, that guy doesn't enjoy watching it, it's too small! If you want me to say it's better to buy a projector, a big white cloth is erected, you can see it from afar, and if you watch a movie about the war, it's even more enjoyable!" Li Ya also thinks that Li Yuanjing's idea is good, TV may be able to watch the news, however, the news seems to be the same thing for the members, if the members need to know the news and policies, the commune brigade will inform everyone. But projectors are more expensive, and it's too flamboyant.

The eldest brother of Li Ya's generation smiled: "If you have money, you should marry a daughter-in-law first, and everyone is at the age of marrying a daughter-in-law." "Li Ya's generation has several married, and the eldest brother who got married the earliest has two children, the oldest is six years old, and he can go to school soon.

Li Ya said with a smile: "It's better to learn something first, and after getting married, you can do some other work to earn some money, or you can't support your own family." The production team is so rich, but the sisters will marry only if they learn what they want to learn, so there are more people, and the rations will be less. Anyway, we have relatively enough food here, maybe there are girls in the city who are willing to marry us in this ravine, if you want me to say that it is better to pick and choose first, don't regret it when you marry. ”

Li Yuanjing said: "How do I feel that I can't make money by roasting tea and brewing wine." ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "Then study the knowledge of junior high school and high school, and actively participate in production labor, I recommend you to go to college this year." ”

"Do you recommend going to college? We have only one production team at most, right? There are several older ones waiting in front of me, so I can't take my turn. I don't know when the next time will be, but maybe my son will be in school by then. Li Yuanjing sighed. Li Ya, their production team has not recommended anyone to go to college, think about the commune's recommendation, your production team is the farthest away from the commune, and the people in the commune who nest in the mountains almost don't come down, who knows your name. However, Li Yuanjing said: "Besides, I have also met the two people recommended by the brigade to go to college, and that's it, I'm afraid I didn't learn anything in college." One is honestly working as a technician in the factory, and the other seems to be engaged in criticism in the factory, and it is not good to come back. ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "Then wait for this year, let the uncle go to the brigade commune to fight for it, if we don't have a recommended quota for the production team, then we really have to think of a way next year, at least we have to go to the Revolutionary Committee often." ”

Li's father, who was far away, asked Li Ya to eat, Li Ya answered, and said with a smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, that is, farming, our mountain is not bad, it is a big deal to have a few fewer children." Daddy shouted for dinner, go home and go home. ”

Li Ya hung his wet clothes outside and went into the house to eat. Mother Li said that the piglets have changed so much, that there are too many earthworms to feed, so they have to be dried and stored, and that the vegetables in the self-kept fields grow well. Li Ya said: "Mom, why don't you go find some cotton tickets and make bed quilts, your quilt has been so many years, and it doesn't keep warm in winter." There are also cloth tickets, and I also go to pull some cloth to make clothes. Dad Li also agreed.

Li's mother thought for a while and said, "Okay, change more cloth tickets, and make clothes for you and your father." ”

Dad Li said: "Why don't we do it first, and make one for the old people on both sides?"

Mother Li said generously: "Do it all." ”

Continuing to work the next day, Li Ya had already sharpened himself and had become a skilled old farmer who could stand the test of the hoe. Everyone worked hard, and from time to time a passionate revolutionary song or a mountain song came up, which could be regarded as the only fun under the sun.

After working for nine days in a row, Li Ya felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and suggested to the uncle: "Uncle, I see that everyone is tired, and there is not much left, why don't you do it in the morning and evening, and rest at noon?" Anyway, I can't do it, divide my tasks there, I can do it with a flashlight at night, and now I want to rest and rest, the most annoying sun." ”

The uncle looked at the situation, and it was indeed like what Li Ya said, he gathered people and said Li Ya's method, and added: "Only work in the morning and evening, and the production team does not provide meals." "Everyone is exhausted, and since you can only work in the morning and evening, it's okay not to provide food.

Li Ya tilted exaggeratedly and said with a smile: "I'm almost exhausted! Hey, I heard that there seems to be a dry grain somewhere, so I will find seeds to plant in the future." ”
