Chapter 19: The Great Events That Followed

The clothes made by Li's mother were ready, she was more thoughtful than Li's father and Li Ya, anyway, she had extra cloth tickets in her hand, so she made one for each of the three ancestors. Mother Li went to deliver clothes one by one, but every old man refused, so Mother Li had to move her fingers to calculate her income with them, and the three ancestors happily accepted the clothes. In previous years, in addition to their own children and grandchildren, other descendants just sent some food, which shows that the income of the village is now more!

After picking up mushrooms for a month or two, the growing season for many species of mushrooms has passed. During this time, the family went to the commune to sell several times, and the income was quite rich, so they were willing to make new clothes for their children.

Gradually, more and more children put on new clothes and happily went to school. Of course, in addition to the old man and children, only Li Ya's family made new clothes. However, as soon as the excitement passed, Li Ya looked at the new clothes as if they were useless, you said *** live, when will the new clothes be worn? Li Ya already has a set of new clothes that he hasn't worn for a long time, is this set there?

Li Ya compared, and said to his mother: "Mom, if you don't send these clothes to your uncle, anyway, he is in class and is wearing new clothes." ”

The old mother roughly weighed it and nodded in agreement: "It's okay to give it to your uncle, but you were brought up by your uncle, so you have to be filial in the future." ”

Li Ya smiled: "My uncle is six years older than me, and when he is old and needs to be taken care of, then I will be almost the same." ”

Mother Li hated iron and said: "Now you can also be filial, and often bring some rabbits to the past." Also, don't you use chalk in class, you ask your third master, do you have any medicine. ”

Li Ya said: "Even if there is medicine, it is not the best way. If you wipe the blackboard with a wrung out wet cloth, this is much better than taking medicine. ”

Li's mother said: "It's just right, I'll tell him when I send the clothes." ”

Li Ya took out two English books and said, "Mom, you bring these two English books by the way, I have finished reading them, and I will send them over when I finish reading them." ”

Li's mother came back and said to Li Ya: "Your uncle praised you, saying that the notes you made were very good, which was convenient for him to learn, but spoken English is also very important, and you two have to practice well when you have time." ”

Time flies, and it's autumn harvest time. During this period, several major events happened, all of which were closely related to everyone, and people were immersed in great grief, but the grain was ripe, and they had to be reckless to collect it. Uncle Mingcheng said when he was mobilizing: "Lord, [Xi] his old man said that waste is the greatest crime. The grain in the field is ripe, and everyone must follow his old man's instructions, turn grief into strength, collect the grain, and return the grain to the warehouse!"

Corn is the first to ripen, and the largest planting area is also corn, so it can be said that after the corn is harvested, the autumn harvest is almost halfway completed.

The corn is broken and sent back, and the outer shell of the corn cob is peeled off and threshed to dry. Corn is harvested during the day, husked at night and then moved out to dry the next day, and only then has time to thresh after the corn is harvested. The corn stalks in the field were also cut down and bundled into bundles to dry, and then piled around the cedar trees, which were the winter fodder for the cattle and horses.

After the corn stalks in the field were cut, while the rice and sweet potatoes were not ripe, they stepped up the time to plow the ground. The corn fields have not yet been plowed, and the rice must be harvested. When the rice is harvested, the sweet potatoes can be dug up. The whole production team is busy with the axis, busy every day when they open their eyes, and at night they dip their pillows on it, and people are black and thin. If the grain is ripe, if we do not seize the time to collect it, then a rainy day can make a busy year in vain; if we do not hurry up to plant the small season (winter wheat, potato, rapeseed and other crops that are different from spring and autumn harvests), then there will be no small harvest next year.

Sweet potato fields do not need to be plowed, and they are planted directly with manure. Then he returned to organize the corn planting, and when the corn field was finished, the dry land of the entire production team was planted for a small season. As for what Li Ya said about planting rape in the rice field, everyone was not in the mood to raise seedlings at that time.

When they were busy, they didn't have the energy to think about other things, but now that they are free, they all feel lost. Li Ya saw that everyone was not in the right state, especially the young people who were no longer studying, and hurriedly went to find the second ancestor. At this time, only when the second ancestor speaks, everyone will listen. As soon as Li Ya told the second ancestor, the old man immediately agreed, and then Li Ya went to recruit everyone.

When everyone came to the ancestral hall according to the notice, they saw the second ancestor standing on the steps outside the ancestral hall gate with crutches, quietly waiting for people to come.

The Second Ancestor saw the people coming, raised his voice and said, "Look at your appearance, Lord, if [Xi] knew it, he would have to criticize you." You have all lost your souls, and you can't see any hope? Where can those who can only mess up, and the guys who [come] will take the country to, Lord, [Xi] will not know? There will definitely be an arrangement! Everyone do their own things, the sky will not fall! They are all scattered, go back to work what should work, and study what should be studied. If I see that there is still someone who is not energetic, I will whip him with a stick. After speaking, the second ancestor lived on crutches and left.

Li Ya said with a smile: "The second ancestor has said, Lord, [Xi] is far-sighted, how could he not take into account the future problems of the country. All we have to do is do our job, such as planting the land, and soon there will be good news. ”

Time passed day by day, and everyone gradually became impatient, but recently the second ancestor was wandering around the village, and everyone didn't dare to show their emotions on their faces. Li Ya has a good life, he does what he needs to do every day, and he always smiles and says that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Suddenly, one day, the uncle came back from a meeting and excitedly announced the news of smashing the "four people and gang". The crowd was also excited, and cheers resounded in the sky. The sixth master shouted, "They also have today!" but shouted out everyone's hearts.

When everyone calmed down, the uncle said: "The brigade has decided to organize a Yangge team, each production team will draw ten people, and tomorrow they will go to the commune to celebrate, and then come back to the brigade, and each production team will go through it again, and spread the news of smashing the 'four people and gang' to every corner of the brigade!"

Of course, everyone is vying to participate in such a celebration, and Li Ya has no choice but not to fight for a place. Finally, when he saw the disappointed crowd, he smiled and said, "We couldn't go to twist Yangge, but we can also go and see it." It's all about participation, and you don't have to be involved to participate. Also, the 'Four People, Gang' has fallen, and the time to resume the college entrance examination is not far away, only about a year or two, everyone should be prepared, don't look at the test papers at that time, ah, I seem to have seen these questions, why didn't I understand them?" everyone laughed.

Before dawn the next day, Li Ya and the Yangge team set off together, and after the Yangge team arrived at the brigade, there was a carriage to do, Li Ya and they had to continue to walk five or six miles of mountain roads, not too short for these children in the mountains, and they would arrive all the way to talk and laugh. Li Ya said loudly: "Everyone has been gone for a long time, and I have a treat, which can be regarded as a celebration of defeating the 'four people and gang'." ”

Everyone saw a handful of change in Li Ya's hand and asked, "In the third year of junior high school, did your father give you so much money?"

Li Ya smiled: "It's not much, it's not from my father, it's from selling things myself." I'm a rich man now, and I'm not afraid that you will be poor. However, don't take anything that asks for a ticket, I don't have it when people ask for tickets. ”

A group of people entered the supply and marketing cooperative, and soon came out again, only to see that everyone was holding something in their hands. The teller of the supply and marketing cooperatives was very surprised, this group of guys spent more than 20 yuan to buy some snacks at once, which is simply a loser.

Soon the gongs and drums sounded, and Li Ya and the others hurriedly found a good position and waited to watch. The originally crowded crowd was full of smiles, and with the appearance of the Yangge team, they were even more emotional.

Li Ya also watched and laughed, and was still eating, seeing the eager eyes of several children on the side, he also grabbed a handful of snacks for them, and the children couldn't wait to stuff a little into their mouths while thanking them. Li Ya was happy to see it. smiled at the children on the side: "If you want to eat, ask the uncles here for it!" Li Ya's words made the children cheer, and they immediately ran to Li Ya and they asked for something to eat. The young people of the village listened to the children's uncles and uncles calling themselves, and happily shared the snacks with them, and reaped the joy together.
