Chapter 243: Little Harvest (Part II)
Standing on the field stalk, Hu Shijie looked at Wei Wenkui adjusting the position of the harvester, and talked to Canghai casually.
"When the wheat is harvested, you will go out and stumble, don't stay in the village, or wait for Secretary Qiao to come, maybe you will be slaughtered again," Hu Shijie said.
Canghai hummed and said that he understood, of course he knew that he had become a sweetheart for people with a heart, not to mention anything else, just looking at the taxes he had just paid to the county, he could roughly calculate how much income Canghai had from watermelons this year. Although Secretary Qiao is not necessarily such a person, it is still necessary to guard against it.
"Then I'll go to the magic capital tomorrow, just with the third uncle and three aunts, and take it to see the teacher and godmother," Canghai said.
Li Liren next to him also said: "In this way, you spend some money, so that you can have an excuse to encounter such things in the future."
Canghai scratched his head when he heard this: "I don't have any place to spend money, I have almost all the houses and cars."
Canghai is telling the truth, he really doesn't have anything to spend a lot of money on, and it's not like someone else's hobby of famous cars and mansions, he is too indifferent to these things, if he wants, what money can't he make with space?
For Canghai, a small Mercedes-Benz and a large house in Mingzhu are enough, and a few kilns in my hometown are also comfortable enough, what swimming pools and the like are downhill, natural and pollution-free, and there is no need to change the water, and there is no big pursuit in enjoying Canghai at all.
Hu Shijie glared at Canghai when he heard this, and opened his mouth to say: "You won't buy some shops or anything in the county, whether you rent them out or do some small business when the time comes."
Hearing Canghai say that there was no place to spend money, Hu Shijie and Li Liren both wanted to stretch out their hands to beat this fool, but they didn't know how to spend the money in their hands, so they didn't owe a beating.
"What do I want that thing for?" Canghai replied.
"You coward!" Hu Shijie stretched out his hand and tapped Canghai and didn't know what to say to him: "Otherwise, what are you doing with the money in the bank? Earning that little interest is not enough to depreciate, now the money is not as valuable as a day, look at what you can buy for a hundred yuan more than ten years ago, and then look at the present? You can only make more money by putting it in the bank for a month, what price can you put two thousand yuan at twenty years ago, and how many things can you buy now?"
Li Liren said: "Yes, fifteen years ago, a boxed lunch in the county was only five yuan, and now there is no fifteen can't get down at all, and the boxed lunch has tripled, which means that the same 100 yuan is enough to buy one-third of the buying power, and a little money is still taken out to buy some shops or something, not to mention anything else, it is enough to maintain the value."
"Yo, I really didn't expect you two to be financial experts," Canghai said jokingly.
"Be serious, I'll get down to business with you," Hu Shijie said.
Canghai put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Okay, when I leave, I'll go to the county town to have a look, buy a suitable shop, and spend some money to go out."
"Well, in this case, if someone finds someone to donate any money in the future, you might as well have an excuse, otherwise people will see you lying in the bank with so much money, and they will naturally plan to lend it out for use, and when the time comes, you will not borrow to offend people, and after borrowing, you will offend people even more, and you will spend all the money on the surface, and there will be a famous cry poor," Hu Shijie said.
Canghai asked with a smile: "Then next year there will be money in the village, and others will let you pick out a little bit to support something, what do you say?"
"The money in the village is the public property of the village, who would dare to fight this idea? If he dares to beat me, I will dare to let him take out the mortgage," Hu Shijie said confidently.
Hu Shijie naturally thought about this problem, let alone next year, waiting for the Japanese money to arrive in a few days, he may have to face the situation of the autumn wind in the county, Hu Shijie is not afraid, because he is a village director, if he loses it, he will lose it, and whoever wants to use this money will not be able to get along with everyone in the village.
Even if anyone else comes to be the village director, he will definitely not give up this benefit in vain, and the outsiders will not be even more pleasing to go, and if the villagers' money is moved, it will be regarded as giving him face.
"Yo, you still have quails in this field!"
Wei Wenkui, who was driving the harvester, said loudly.
After hearing this, several people hurriedly ran over, stretched out their heads to look, and sure enough, they found that there was a nest of quail eggs in the field, more than a dozen, but unfortunately it was run over by the harvester, and a nest of quail eggs became quail eggs, and none of them were intact.
The servants were looking at the quail eggs, when suddenly a hare jumped up again, flashed in front of them, and burrowed into the depths of the wheat field.
"You have everything in this field, other fields have harvested several pieces, and here you are quails and hares," Hu Shijie said.
Canghai replied: "How do I know!"
"Okay, don't talk about this useless, let's take a turn and see if there are any quail eggs or something, it's better to find them than to be run over by a harvester," Li Liren said.
The three of them began to line up as they chatted, and began to look for quail eggs as they walked through the fields.
After a while, Cang Jing and Lin Zhijing walked over hand in hand, saw the appearance of the three of them, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Canghai replied casually: "Look for quail eggs!"
When Cang Jing heard this, she immediately came to her senses: "There are quail eggs in the field?"
After Cang Jing came back, he nested in the kiln, waiting for Lin Lijing to arrive, and the two of them were sticky again, and they didn't have time to understand the changes in the village, so they naturally didn't know how good the natural conditions in the village were now.
"Well, your second brother Hai's field has just been crushed, let's find out if there are any others" Before Li Liren's words were finished, he heard him laugh and say: "Oh! There is one here!"
As he spoke, he bent down, pulling at the hem of his shirt with one hand and picking up quail eggs on the ground with the other.
When Cang Jing heard this, she immediately let go of Lin Zhijing's hand, ran quickly to Li Liren's side, stretched out her head and shouted: "There are really quail eggs, there are quite a few, there are seven or eight."
Lin Zhijing has never seen quail eggs in the field, although they are all children from the countryside, but there are very few of these things in the southern countryside, because of the chemical agents used in the fields, locusts are not common, where will there be quails, not to mention quails, even the number of sparrows is not as large as before. Hearing this, he immediately ran to Li Liren's side and stretched out his head to take a look.
Canghai and Hu Shijie continued to search, and Hu Shijie soon found a nest of wild eggs, the number was not much, only five, a water green shell wild egg, not big, smaller than ordinary grass eggs.
"Wait, I'll go back and get a basket, there are two nests of quail eggs and a nest of wild eggs in this place, there must be a lot left" Cang Jing cheered, turned around and trotted back to the village to get the basket.
The rest of the people continued to search along the wheat field with eggs in their pockets.
"There is also a nest here" Lin Zhijing found a nest of wild eggs for the first time, and immediately shouted loudly at everyone, and at the same time picked up an egg and lit it up towards Canghai.
Li Liren, who was closer to Lin Zhijing, glanced up and said, "You are not a wild egg, but a grass egg."
"What? isn't this a wild egg?" Lin Zhijing's face was immediately a little disappointed when he heard this, he put the egg in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully and asked.
Li Liren said with certainty: "It's not a wild egg, it's a grass egg, I don't know whose chicken laid the eggs here, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is also the chicken of the Canghai family, and the whole village is out of tune with his chickens."
This is the truth, other chickens have been trained, and the eggs are laid in the chicken nest, that is, the chickens of the Canghai family no one cares about laying wild eggs everywhere, and from time to time you can see an old hen with a group of chicks out of the horns, and now the chickens in the chicken nest of the Canghai family are of different sizes, and they are completely miscellaneous troops, and from time to time there are some pheasants or something to eat and drink at Canghai's house, and Canghai doesn't care.
Seeing that Lin Zhijing didn't believe it, Li Liren took a wild egg and put it together with the grass egg in Lin Lijing's hand and explained it to him.
In the past, there were few pheasants in the village, and Li Liren couldn't tell the difference, but since the natural conditions near the village have improved, pheasants have become common, and he has also picked up a few nests of wild eggs when he walked, so he can naturally tell the difference.
After Lin Lijing listened, he realized that the egg in his hand was indeed a grass egg, not a wild egg.
When Cang Jing ran back with the basket, there was even a nest of quail eggs in the corner of Canghai's clothes, and everyone put the eggs in the basket and continued to look for them.
Wei Wenkui is a little anxious now, because everyone is looking for eggs in the field, which invisibly slows down the efficiency of the harvester.
"Hey, you guys hurry up, I'll have to wait for a while to collect a ridge here, it's more tiring to collect this piece than to collect three pieces of other land, the machine starts and stops and opens, what a waste of time," Wei Wenkui said.
Canghai raised his head and said, "Uncle Wei, why don't you go and collect your family first, let's look for it here, what a pity that the eggs are crushed when you are fast."
"Okay, then take my side first, and you wait and then collect it."
With that, Wei Wenkui drove the harvester to the field next to him and began to collect his wheat.
Four or five people lined up in the field, launched a carpet search, and after sweeping a wheat field, everyone actually harvested a basket full of eggs.
In addition to the eggs, there were a few silly quails, the kind that no one knew how to run, and now they were honestly caught, and they were tied to their feet with strips of cloth and wore them into a string.
Hu Shijie looked at the basket full of eggs and said, "You coward, haven't you been to the wheat field a few times?"
Although other people's wheat fields are not fattened, but there is nothing to do will go into the grass or something, pheasants and quails will not choose this kind of place to make a nest, only the wheat field of the Canghai family has no one to come in at all, and the wheat is growing well, the waist-deep wheat has become a natural cover, and the wheat grains are big so the food is there, and there are no humans to disturb it, so it has become a paradise for these small animals.
Canghai said with a smile: "Isn't it just to eat some food, don't you see that this basket of eggs will make up for the loss of food?"
Hu Shijie reached out and nodded at Canghai when he heard this, but he didn't know what to say.
So many quails and pheasants nested in the field, this kid was embarrassed to say that he had made up for the loss, these goods were added together, and there were hares or something, according to Hu Shijie's estimate, at least the wheat field production was reduced by one percent, and the baby was embarrassed to say that a basket of eggs would be made up.
"Okay, this basket of eggs will be yours, anyway, you are going to see your teacher or something, this basket of eggs will be a gift," Hu Shijie said.
Canghai was not polite, and said with a smile: "I have this idea."
Cang Jing listened and looked at the basket: "Second brother, do you want to keep a little, hatch the eggs, and wait for the quail pheasants to eat next year."
Li Liren said with a smile: "Jing girl, if you want to eat, go to the grass and catch it yourself, from the bamboo forest in the west of the village, there are many quail eggs in the small bushes between the pine forests, if you are not afraid of thorns, you can find the eggs in half an hour at most."
"So many?" Cang Jing was stunned for a moment and then opened her mouth to ask, "Then why don't I see the people in the village to pick it up?"
"What did you pick it up for?"
"Sell for money, isn't there anyone to eat quail eggs?" asked Cang Jing.
Li Liren said: "Selling for money can be sold for money, but have you ever thought about how much money you can sell for if you pick up these eggs? Finally, God has shown us face, and trees and grass have grown around our village, but we can count on catching these wild things and selling them for money, and if we sell them out, only the forest will remain, so we don't have to lose it."
In the past, you could not see a single forest when you walked dozens of miles, you could not see a single wild thing, and you could not see anything else in the wild except wild rats, but now that the environment is better, there are many wild things, and naturally there is a simple sense of protection.
In their opinion, these things are now living on the land where their ancestors lived, and they have to let their children and grandchildren grow up when they have the opportunity.
Hu Shijie opened his mouth and said to Cang Jing: "We have to set up a rule in the future, these wild things around the village, it doesn't matter if we eat less and get some personal favors or something, if anyone goes out to buy and expects this to make money, there are national laws and village rules, even if the national rule cannot be ruled by the country, but the rules of the village are governed, don't expect to get a penny from the village when the time comes!"
Canghai couldn't help but give Hu Shijie a thumbs up when he heard this. I have to say that there is a big progress in the village, Hu Shijie is also a lot more tough when he speaks, and he directly shows the carriage and horses, if you expect to destroy the environment in the village, then he will have the confidence to kill people.
Canghai raised his hands in favor of protecting the environment, otherwise he would have a good life in the magic capital, what would he do when he returned to the countryside, wouldn't he just hope to change the environment in the village and help the villagers live a good life. Or Canghai squatted in the magic capital, and when the egg hurts, do something that the rich second generation can do, pinch his nose and make a supercar, pull it out from time to time to bombard the street, and harvest the envious eyes of some little girls!
After receiving a basket of eggs, Wei Wenkui returned to the field to continue harvesting wheat, even if Canghai and these people searched for a stubble, there were still leaks, and the harvester still crushed two or three nests of eggs, it can be seen that Canghai's wheat field directly became a chicken nest, and there were still wild rabbits, but it was a pity that the rabbits ran too fast, and the tiger head was not there, so not a single rabbit was caught, otherwise you could eat rabbit meat at noon.
The wheat was harvested and the husk was removed, and the rest was dried, and the open space at the door of Canghai's house was directly spread out, and it became a wheat drying field, and the fresh wheat that had just been harvested was enjoying the greetings of the sun, and it was about to be shortlisted when it was sunburned. But Canghai couldn't wait, he had to go out to avoid Secretary Qiao's limelight.
