328. Clearing the wasteland

The sun had just come out, and the dew on the grass had not yet dried, so Li He rubbed his eyes, and then started work with the water in the ditch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Every day, with He Long clearing the wasteland in the countryside, Li He is enough of the sin, he regrets it a little, regrets that he shouldn't come.

He originally thought that he would just come out to respond to the scene, join in the fun, feel the natural scenery by the way, edify his sentiments, maybe he can improvise a few poems, and no matter how bad it is, he can sing it.

He also fantasizes that he can eat different game meat every day, but the reality is cruel, he doesn't even have the opportunity to hold chopsticks, and a big bag of steamed buns is a whole day's food.

These steamed buns are steamed at home and brought in, and they can be eaten by roasting them or soaking them in boiling water when they are ready to eat.

This is the most fertile land in China.

Originally a place of exile and sparsely populated, it is now a reclamation area.

In the past few years, due to the low price of grain, farming always lost money, and the enthusiasm of domestic workers in the farm area was not high, and large areas of land were barren and no one planted them.

However, in recent years, the reclamation area has begun to practice the household production contract system, and many households have been able to contract several hundred mu of land, and many peasants from other places have also come here to contract land.

There are many people who have become 10,000 yuan households by contracting land and live a well-off life. There are also those who contract land and lose their capital, and they owe too much debt, so they simply leave the farm and go to open up the wasteland by themselves, which is a business without capital.

Including the He family, people in the city have come to contract land or open up wasteland, He Long has no job in the city, so he simply contracted 300 acres of land in the reclamation area in one go, and the contract fee for one mu is less than 20 yuan.

Most of the He family's land is cooked land, as long as the season comes, the land is turned over and planted. But most of it is uncultivated land.

In order to deal with these uncultivated wastelands, the He family went into battle. He didn't even go home, so he built a herringbone with a wooden pole and covered it with grass, which was a shack where he could settle down, and the next day, he went down to the ground to open up the wasteland.

The pots and pans in the shack are complete, and the occasional pork stewed vermicelli is a sweet memory, the old and new society!

In addition to the puddles of dense river channels, there are also some dirt slopes on the fertile uncultivated wasteland, and there are scattered forests on them, the main tree species are poplars, birches, oaks and other trees, and there are also some low shrubs such as hazelnut, willow and willow.

Before clearing the wasteland, these scattered trees should be uprooted.

Because there are more blisters, there is no ridge, the tractor can't drive in, all rely on people to dig the roots with shovels, dig out one by one, Li He and He Long do the work of digging trees, He Long does it easily, but Li He is not easy, because the farm work is less, there is no stamina, the hands are worn out, not to mention, even the soles of the feet have changed a layer of skin, every step is very painful.

"Particularly able to endure hardships", he did the first 4 words......

It's not that he can't endure hardship, but that he has endured enough hardships in his previous life, and he doesn't plan to endure hardships again in this life.

He Fang followed his mother and brother-in-law to cut shrubs and weeds with a sickle on the side, and smiled at Li He, who sighed from time to time. Li He felt aggrieved, he felt that he had been deceived, and he knew that it was so hard, so he wouldn't come to the ground!

He proved with practice that he must do what he can to please his mother-in-law!

There is a blue sky and fresh air in the black earth, and Li He likes it very much.

What is the life of this fat black soil and black seed, he loves it deeply.

But let him get up early and work like a donkey every day!

He couldn't agree!

Ye Gong Haolong is probably like this!

Li He proposed, "Why don't you hire people, let's work until the Year of the Monkey!"

The endless wasteland made him a little desperate.

He Fang pointed to the distance and said, "Look at whether we work like this around here, who can be stupider than whom, if you can hire someone, people will hire them earlier, where can it be your turn." The educated youth have run out, no one has to do the work, and each farm is recruiting people from other rural areas, and the salary is not counted, but the hukou is returned. Even if they recruit people, they may not be able to raise them, and the current policy is that whoever opens up the wasteland will belong to whomever they want, and whoever sees this fertile land will not be blush, where can they still scarce the treatment of the farm. ”

He Fang's words made Li He sound reasonable, but he still didn't give up and asked, "Let's just add money." Just come and help us work and give us more money. ”

He Fang smiled and said, "You can pull it down, the price of eggs is meat, and it is better not to plant it in this land." Don't worry, when the blisters are filled, we will use the tractor quickly. ”

Li He breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that there was no need for someone to pull the ploughshare, but if you wanted to borrow a tractor from the farm, you had to line up and rotate it, many families couldn't wait, they were all pulled by people, of course, more horses and oxen pulled.

He thought about helping the He family buy a tractor, but in this place, the small-horsepower tractor could not show its ability, and he had to lie on his stomach when he rolled back and forth in the field, and there were too many weeds, which were wrapped around the ploughshare and could not be carried at all. Only to buy a high-horsepower tractor, but a large tractor is a sought-after commodity, and you have to go to the big city to buy, and you have to queue up to buy it, and you don't have to count on it for a year and a half.

"Why don't you go back, can you do this?" Li He still wanted He Fang to raise more fetuses, although mowing the grass is not heavy work, but after all, the food is too bad. Not to mention eating folic acid and the like, at least the nutrition must keep up.

He Fang said disapprerovingly, "You also have to be active, how can you do it if you don't do it." Not too tired. ”

"Really?" Li He smiled, "Why don't we move around?"

"Die, you. As soon as He Fang saw his expression, he knew what bad idea he was thinking.

Li He could only look at Lin Xing and sigh, it had been his long-cherished wish for many years that the sky was the bed and the earth was the bed, but it was difficult to realize it at this time.

After digging the roots of the tree, they began to fill the water bubbles again, digging the soil from the high post with a spade and shovel, and then put it in the basket, and filled the water bubbles one by one.

If you don't carry the burden, you don't know the weight, and if you don't walk a long way, you don't know how far away.

A load of soil starts with a hundred catties, which is not heavy for Li He, his strength is sufficient, but he can't stand the hard work, and finally gritted his teeth, so he had to change to another shoulder if he had a headache. And it's too much time, trip after trip, load after burden, from the start of work in the morning, looking forward to the day as soon as it gets dark, and then you can call it a day, tired and boring.

At the end of the day, my back hurts and my legs are sore, even if I rest overnight, I will bear a flat burden the next day, and my shoulders will hurt hotly.

Li He happened to be the kind of impatient, and he was almost about to leave

He Fang said, "No, I'll come." ”

Although he knew that He Fang was joking, Li He didn't like to hear this. He Fang is very sorry for the baby in her belly, how can she carry the burden.

"How can a man say no! I'm sure I've done more than He Long today. ”

It's still going to be pretended, in case it happens!

Li He picked up the burden again with tears in his eyes.

That's it, I persevered.

People, it's really going to be forced. The key is to hold on hard at all times.

This wasteland of the He family tossed back and forth for a month, and Li He re-experienced the education of going to the mountains and going to the countryside. He Fang's stomach is about to rise, and the two of them should prepare a banquet, and it is not good to show that the stomach comes out.

Whether the He family can do it or not, Li He can't make a decision, so he still has to listen to his mother-in-law's opinion.

The old lady said, "It's not too much trouble, but some relatives always have to give notice, and they always want to come over for dinner." There is no need to keep a record of the gifts. ”

This meaning is also in line with Li He's thoughts, he is not going to hold a banquet in his hometown on both sides, and is only going to go back to Beijing to set up two tables of banquets.

He Fang also has this idea, even if relatives come, the family will not cook, and it will save trouble by arranging it directly in the hotel.

But the old lady disagreed, "I just want to be lively, there is no family lively anywhere, they are all relatives, and it is not good to rush out." ”

He Fang smiled, but understood what the old lady meant, living in such a big house, not a single relative had ever come.

There are many relatives of the He family, and they can't sit in the house, so they set up a shed in the open space downstairs, set up tables and benches, and squeezed five tables for adults and children.

Most of these relatives are very dramatic characters, and they don't look down or reject Li He because he is a foreigner, so Li He is not ambiguous when he drinks with him.

Li He didn't care, and He Fang could only stare dryly, he couldn't let others stop drinking when he came to the house, there was no reason for that. Without retreating, she pulled He Long up from the other table and went to block the wine for his brother-in-law.

He Long is stomach is bitter, he didn't drink less, it is estimated that he really can't drink anymore.

However, he still went to Li He's table to mix, although he didn't drink for Li He, at least he could attract some firepower. He admires this brother-in-law very much, and it's not easy to win his sister just by being able to win it!

He had seen her sister have been in the longest relationship, which was narcissism, loving herself and having no rivals.

He knows her sister, and she is arrogant when she says it's good, and she doesn't look at people when she says it's ugly!

I'd rather be proud and moldy than go to humble love.

He originally thought that his sister was going to die alone, and she was not married in her thirties, which was scary enough to think about!

I didn't expect that this would catch people off guard and bring a man back, and even got a marriage certificate. What surprised him even more was that his sister could still be a bird and snuggle up in Li He's arms, which almost blinded him.

The body is not a man, but the heart is stronger than a man.

He really couldn't imagine that a sister like her could finally be smashed in the hands of such a young man, it was really unexpected.

However, after contact at this stage, he admired this brother-in-law who was much younger than him.

He was originally worried that those who had read the book would take himself too seriously as a decent person, and he would look at it a little bit. The truth came down, and I found that this brother-in-law was extremely easy to get along with, there was no frame at all, let's talk, occasionally old and occasionally childish, which always made people a little crying and laughing.

But it's good to treat people and things, and it's reliable to speak, according to the words of relatives, it's not a bear, at least it's not a bear at the wine table, and if you don't accept it, you dare to talk to you.

What makes him happiest is that his family bought a house, although it is said that his sister bought it, but he knows in his heart that his sister has such a dead salary a month, and only sent a large amount of money to the family a few years ago, where is there a balance in his hand.

So he was very sure that the money belonged to this brother-in-law, although he didn't know what this brother-in-law did, but he knew that his brother-in-law was not bad for money, and he could see from the momentum of inadvertent speech that people never put money in their eyes.

Besides, this house is said to be filial to the old mother, but there is only one son in the family, and it is not his sooner or later, he knows it. If you want to say that the only thing that is dissatisfied with this brother-in-law is that he is too hypocritical in his work, he either smokes or drinks water for a while, and he can't do a down-to-earth job.

At this moment, his cousin wanted to continue to fight with Li He, and he didn't hesitate to help stop it, "I really want to get drunk brother-in-law, let him rest, he hasn't served the other tables yet." ”

Li He had already drunk a lot, and when the other tables in the back were about to take turns toasting, they simply changed to beer, and he couldn't drink the liquor.

After drinking until the people dispersed, He Fang said angrily, "Why are you drinking so much." ”

She didn't dare to drink when she was pregnant, or she would have to fight for Li He in person.

The old lady said happily, "That's not just a scene for you." ”

are all relatives, this one raises a glass and you drink, and that one raises a glass and you can't say whether you drink or not, these rules The old lady is sober. Before Li He could recover his strength, he started drinking again, this uncle shouted to eat, and that aunt shouted to eat, two meals a day, and the arrangement was full.

He really didn't want to drink anymore.

In the following days, he was not comfortable, He Fang's dishes were not to his taste, and he asked angrily, "The surname is He, you have changed!"

The dish has no chili peppers, and it has no taste at all, so how can he eat it! At least he should put some chili peppers in the meat! He can endure it without chili peppers, but how can he not put soy sauce!

She usually has to think about his taste, and everything is accommodating to his taste.

"For the sake of the baby, you have to eat a little lighter. ”

"But you don't eat meat!" Li He has no opinion on what flavors other dishes make, but there is no soy sauce or chili pepper in the meat, so he has a big opinion.

"For the sake of the baby, it is necessary to have a balanced diet. "She usually eats a lot of vegetables and rarely touches meat.

"Why do you have nothing to do with reading so many books? In addition to grief and indignation, Li He can only be sad and indignant, she would rather she have less scientific truth. It's really for the sake of the child's everything.

As the days passed, He Fang's stomach was really about to rise, and the two of them hurried back to Beijing. I took an acquaintance's carriage to the train station in the city next to it, and then sat in Bingcheng, where I stayed for one night, and originally planned to take a plane back to Beijing from Bingcheng Airport the next day.

But He Fang wanted to go to Kazakhstan to see a friend who had gone to the countryside together, and Li He went with him, the most famous of Kazakhstan is the Russian major, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest in the country.

He Fang's friend is the teacher inside, a tall and thin woman in her thirties, suddenly saw He Fang, cried and jumped happily, and said that He Fang was not allowed to leave.

The two women chattered non-stop, mostly reminiscing about the past, and Li He couldn't interject half a sentence.

Li He followed behind and spent another night in the ice city, opened two rooms in the hotel, and the two women lit the lamp and chatted at night, so he had to sleep alone in another room, sleeping alone.

When I returned to Beijing the next day, it was only one o'clock at noon.

He Fang was very tired, and he had to cook and clean up the house as before.

Li He didn't allow her to do it, "Let's hire a nanny." ”

He Fang shook his head, "Where is it so delicate, don't look for trouble." I'm not used to having outsiders come to live. ”

"Then don't move. I'll do it. "Li He's lazy cancer has to be cured, and in the first three months, the fetus is still unstable, and it is easy to miscarry at this time.

It's not the same as mowing the grass in the field, where you can bend over at most and it won't be a big problem. But there are too many trivial things to do housework, and you always have to worry about it, and people are even more tired.

Li He had to shoulder the burden of washing clothes and cooking!

He had to sigh, people, it's so tiring to live!
