Chapter 12, the good things in the bamboo forest

Uncle finally counted that although the members went to the lake twice a day, the progress was as good as before. This is a good way, we have to continue to carry it forward, and tomorrow I will go to the lake twice to soak in it, this day is so hot. Uncle drew a conclusion from this bathing incident, hard work, and skillful work. For the same day's tasks, the members played in the water twice today, which was completed earlier than last year.

After the first weeding was completed, the members of the club were a little darker again, especially those with bare arms, who were almost catching up with the Africans. Of course, there are also people who can't tan at all, and the skin on their hands and faces is white and clean. For such a guy, Li Ya, whose skin has turned wheat, is also very envious.

After a few days, the other production teams were finally completed, and the brigade held a meeting to pay the agricultural tax, and the uncle weighed the wheat according to the prescribed amount, and then led the members to the brigade headquarters in an ox cart and horse-drawn cart, and went to the commune to pay the agricultural tax together.

Li Ya, these young people, almost can't catch a car, so they don't have to go. But Li Ya didn't have to go to be happier, he only carried a sack when he went, and he had things to do at home. Cut the hogweed in the morning, and now the weeds in the field are all dug up, and it takes more time. After breakfast, he went to the old forest to look for mushrooms, and the excess corn seedlings pulled out during weeding in the past few days have been kept in the space, and planted in the field he has cleared by the way. When I came back, I cut a bundle of firewood in the miscellaneous woods around the pass and dragged it home. Sometimes Li Ya doesn't let go of the time he walks, and he can still hold a book and look at it twice. In short, Li Ya lived a very fulfilling life, so full that he forgot that there was such a thing as bamboo shoots, until he saw someone carrying him back to the village, and he remembered that it was the time for bamboo shoots to be made. After all, after Li Ya was reborn, he hadn't been to the bamboo forest yet, so it was normal for him not to remember.

In the previous life, Li Ya liked to eat bamboo shoots very much, especially the sour bamboo shoots shredded tofu hot pot fish Li Ya remembered deeply, and it was a pity that in the village where the bamboo forest was scarce, Li Ya personally stepped on it, and also watched others step on the mushrooms called the old snake flower.

Li Ya cut the pigweed and came back, and when he had breakfast, he told his mother to dig bamboo shoots and come back to soak some sour bamboo shoots, and then dry some bamboo shoots.

After breakfast, Li Ya put on his sickle and hoe and set off for the bamboo forest.

Walk along the road, after walking the slope where corn is planted, there are tea trees on the mountain, and you can see the bamboo forest when you turn over the mountain.

Li Ya first dug up the bamboo shoots, and then searched around in the bamboo forest, hoping to be lucky enough to find some bamboo sunflowers. If there are other things, Li Ya will also laugh at them, such as bamboo rats and bamboo chickens. Of course, the green bamboo snake Li Ya doesn't like it, it is violent, good at camouflage, and fast.

Li Ya has always been very lucky, and soon found a bamboo sunflower. There was a harvest so quickly, Li Ya looked more carefully, and when Li Ya realized that a long time had passed, Li Ya had already gone to the top of the mountain and looked at the opposite side, it was still a bamboo forest.

Li Ya wrapped a few bamboo flowers in his clothes and carried them, discerned the direction, and carefully walked down the hillside and back. I got a lot of bamboo bushes planted into the space along the way, and by the way, I also caught a few bamboo rats and bamboo chickens from afar and raised them in the space.

Li Ya came back and saw that someone was digging bamboo shoots, Li Ya greeted him, and the other party said: "You dug this bamboo shoot, go into the bamboo forest to find bamboo chickens and bamboo rats?"

Li Ya raised his left hand holding his clothes and said, "Find Zhusun." ”

The other party said: "This thing is delicious, but it is too little, and I may not be able to find it after looking for a long time, and few people have looked for it over the years." How many did you find?"

Li Ya said: "Wuduo, it seems that few people have come to look for it in recent years, and there are more of them." ”

When he got home, Li Ya gently cleaned the bamboo shoots, handed them to his mother to take to a ventilated place to dry, and then cleaned the bamboo shoots. After cleaning it quickly, Li Ya looked at the sky and said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go chop two bundles of firewood and come back." ”

Li's mother said: "Our family has enough firewood for a few months, and if you cut it, you will send it to your second uncle's house." ”

When he had dinner in the evening, Li's father said that he would divide the food the next day, and discussed with Li's mother how much to send to his grandfather and how much to grind noodles at home. At this time, the flour is ground with a horse-drawn stone, and most people grind it finely, even if they don't use a sieve to separate the chaff through two passes, and the same is true for grinding cornmeal. However, this year, Li Ya's family has relatively more grain, and they plan to get some good food, and the bran will be sifted out and fed to the pigs.

The next morning, when Li Ya and Li's father pushed the cart to the ancestral hall, the outside of the ancestral hall was already full of people pushing the cart to pull food, Li Ya had to park the cart behind the crowd, and on the other side was the aisle with the cart left for the cart.

Stopping the car, Li Ya learned everyone to sit on the cart, listening to everyone calculate how much their own family can share, and now the production team implements five people and five labors, that is, in addition to handing over to the state and the production team to set aside, half of the remaining grain is divided according to the population, and half is divided according to the labor. Compared with the people who worked eight and worked two and seven at the beginning, the enthusiasm for work was greatly improved.

Li Ya's family Li Ya was just catching up with the tail of the ****** when he was born, and although there was no disaster here at that time, a lot of food was also supported, and everyone was short of food. Li's father and Li's mother felt this, so they didn't continue to have children, and when Li Ya was studying, the family's economic conditions were not good, and gradually they faded the idea of continuing to have children, so Li Ya's family had a child with Li Ya. With the change of distribution methods, Li Ya's family is much better than other people's conditions.

At this time, Li Ya heard a voice and said: "I divided the wheat and took it to the city to exchange it for bud grain with others, it's not that the family doesn't have enough to eat." The person who spoke, his four children, are still young, the eldest is only ten years old, and there are two adults in the family who earn work.

At this time, I saw the uncle take out a large scale with a few people, as well as a wooden stick that is arm thick and more than two meters long, and said: "I have started to divide the grain, and I will calculate how much I have first." Then by name, two lifted the scales, and one beat the scales.

It was Li Ya's turn, only two hundred and a few pounds, Li Ya said regretfully: "It's only two hundred pounds, it's not cost-effective to push the cart, just hold it and go back." ”

Li Ya and Li's father poured the wheat into their own sack, returned the production team, put it on the cart and pushed it home, Li's mother used a small sack to fill 20 catties from the beginning, and asked Li Ya to grind the noodles.

The place where the noodles are milled is under a big tree with lush foliage, the big tree is a yellow kudzu tree, the trunk of the tree should be hugged by three or four people, and the canopy is huge, which is generally a place for members to enjoy the cool and chat.

When Li Ya arrived, there were already people grinding noodles, Li Ya hurriedly lined up the noodle bags in front of him, and then sat down in the young people's pile to brag. Li Ya said: "The commune has a noodle machine, why don't we go to the commune together in a few days?"

"The big guy has time, but he has no money, what are you spending so much money for? It's not noodles? Although it's white and fine, you can only beat sixty or seventy pounds of wheat for one hundred catties, which is too cost-effective. "Sanbodao. This third uncle is not the strong man one, and Li Ya did not specifically count how many three uncles he has, anyway, there are four or five.

Li Ya didn't know what was going on, and said, "It's really not cost-effective." Is that the same for beating rice?"

Sanbo said with a smile: "The husk of the millet is easy to come off, and the machine is much better at beating rice than the rice, and the broken rice is very much, and it is slow." ”

Li Ya watched a few stone mills turn around one by one, and there was a long line behind them, and said to the people who came behind: "Take the wheat back, it's dark here." Do you want to light the lamp until midnight?"

The person in the back said strangely: "Every year, it is pushed until midnight, don't you know?"

Li Yuanjing said with a smile: "He is stupid to read, and it will be good for a long time." Li Ya really didn't know that it would be until midnight to grind, he had few families, unlike other families who always waited for noodles to be put into the pot, and they all waited for people to come during the day. Li Ya is often at school again, and he hasn't paid attention to this matter yet.

Brother Yuanzhi said with a smile: "His family is small, the food is enough to eat, he doesn't have to wait for the middle of the night to grind the noodles, and he is often at school, and he rarely works when he comes back, unlike you who have to help work often, and it is not once or twice to light the lamp and grind." ”

Li Yuanjing said with a smile: "So I know a lot, it is a typical example of being red and specialized." "Red and specialized, red means having firm revolutionary convictions, and specifically saying that there is professional technical ability.
