As soon as the sky dawned in the morning, Sijiaping Village was lively, and people shouted and the dog barked to start the prelude to the day's life.

The women of each family were busy preparing breakfast around the pot, while the men sat at the doorway, with a sickle in one hand and a whetstone in the other, preparing the tools for the day.

There are school-going children at home shouting for their children to get up, and those who do not go to school are set of cars, and the finishing tools are used to ensure that each sickle is sharp enough to complete the task better today.

Canghai's family had already gotten up at this time, and Meng Meng was sitting at the door of the kitchen in a daze, and the little girl had not yet woken up.

Canghai and Wang Zhenzhen were busy making breakfast together in the kitchen, Shi Wei and Wu Hui were busy choosing vegetables and preparing for a meal in the field at noon, and Ping An and Shi Zhenbang were sharpening their sickles on the platform.

"Mom, you and Dad don't go with you, rest at home, to be honest, we don't have much work in the field!" Canghai persuaded.

Wang Zhenzhen looked at her son-in-law and asked, "What's the matter, I dislike me and your father are old and can't work?"

"How is it possible, there is nothing at all, I think I want you to come over to play, where can I let you follow me to work in the field all day long" Canghai was a little reluctant.

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and patted Canghai: "It's okay to weave, I have work to do these days, and I feel a lot better than the previous days, I feel that this day is full, you can rest assured, I and your father have a number in our hearts, and we won't be tired."

Canghai listened to it, so he had to let the old man and the old lady be.

Waiting for the meal to be ready, everyone gathered around the small table and began to eat.

Meng Meng ate here for a while, and then heard the team carrying vegetables at the entrance of the village shouting.

"Kids who go to school, let's go!"

Hearing this, Meng Meng suddenly came to his senses: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to be late!"

Shi Wei said with a smile: "This sound is like her biological alarm clock!"

As he spoke, he helped Meng Meng put seven or eight buns in a small lunch box, and then put a bowl of small green vegetable porridge, put both things in a small bag, and handed them to the slippery head to hold.

When she sits at the table, Meng Meng usually squints and takes a nap, and when she eats officially, she usually takes the car to the town, and brings it to the bun or something, or she can let Meng Meng share it with the children who go with her, there is no way, the food of the Canghai family is good.

Meng Meng picked up the schoolbag and saw that the slippery head had already finished the meal, so he took a small hand: "Slippery head, let's go!"

Slippery head then followed Meng Meng with his tail and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Everyone was used to it, so no one followed, so they let Meng Meng walk towards the entrance of the village with a slippery head, and the rest of the people continued to eat.

After eating, Ping'an put the cart over, and Canghai and Shi Zhenbang moved the tools and the lunch box to the cart.

Everyone got on the board car and prepared to leave the village, and almost every family had to say hello from the door of their house to the entrance of the village, because everyone was preparing to go to the melon field.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Canghai found that Hu Shijie took Miao Zhengwei and drove the car out of the village, it was not a new thing to catch the car or something, but in addition to two people in the car, it was strange to sit on five tiger-headed yellows.

"Grandpa Hu, Secretary Miao, where are you going?" Canghai asked after stopping the car.

Hu Shijie said happily: "Go to the town to get money, it's time to send money to everyone today!"

Hearing Hu Shijie say this, Canghai remembered that today was already the beginning of the month, and unconsciously. It's been a month.

"No wonder you brought so many dogs, I'm afraid that people will rob you of money," Shi Zhenbang said with a smile.

Miao Zhengwei laughed and said: "There are not so many dogs, we are also afraid, hundreds of thousands, all of them will be exchanged for cash and shipped over, if they are robbed, it will not be worth so much money to sell the two of us!"

Canghai listened to it and quipped: "Then you also underestimate the village cadres of our four jiapings, the two of you tied together must be worth hundreds of thousands, don't worry! Robbing you and robbing money is an effect."

"Hahaha!"

Hu Shijie and Miao Zhengchuan both laughed: "I didn't expect that we were worth a lot of money!"

Hu Shijie asked Canghai, "Canghai, do you want to withdraw money here?"

Canghai waved his hand: "I don't take money, wait for the melons to fall to the ground, and then say that I will talk about it when the New Year is over! Anyway, if they need to use money to talk to me, they don't need to use money to keep a piece of hair before the New Year."

"Okay, you guys are busy, we have to rush to the bank," Hu Shijie said.

After speaking, Hu Shijie raised his whip and whipped it, and then suddenly grabbed the reins of the cattle again, and said to Canghai: "Haiwazi, the salesman of the cooperative bank told me that he wanted us to deposit the money in the village with them, saying that the interest rate is much higher than that ......of the commercial bank."

After hearing this, Canghai asked Miao Zhengwei: "Secretary Miao, what do you think?"

Miao Zhengwei shook his head and said: "I don't agree, the bank's interest rate is like that, and the high affirmation they give here is a high interest rate to collect savings, I'm afraid that something will go wrong!"

Canghai listened to Hu Shijie and said: "I also mean this, our money is important in a stable word, it is all the hard-earned money of the villagers, or the big banks are reliable, like cooperatives or something is too small, and the management is not necessarily standardized, in case there is something wrong, it is still us who suffer, although it is more interest, but the risk is too great."

"It's all a public bank, there won't be a problem, right?" Hu Shijie was a little skeptical when he heard this.

Canghai said: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, we don't need to take risks now."

Now that the state has also allowed banks to fail, for example, these small cooperatives are all local banks, and their principal is small and their ability to resist risks is also small, so they are counting on how much money these people in the city can have even if they are all deposited in these banks? Not to mention that now that everyone has four major banks, there would not have been such a thing as a small bank having difficulty in collecting deposits.

"Okay, then listen to you!" Hu Shijie saw that Miao Zhengwei and Canghai disagreed, so he didn't mention this issue.

Hu Shijie is inclined to cooperative banks, firstly, because he owes favors to others, and secondly, he thinks that they are all public banks, and it is impossible to make mistakes, and where the money is stored is different.

But when he heard Canghai's objection, he had to say sorry to his old friend in his heart.

The two groups of people were so separated, one went to the town, and the other went to Fenghuanggou.

The villagers set off a few minutes later than Canghai, but they arrived at the melon field about 20 minutes earlier than Canghai, because the melon field is close to the village. The building near the water is also the first to get the moon, and the distance is close to this advantage, and it is convenient and fast to come and go.

Li Licheng, who led the team this morning, is the oldest in the village and only two years younger than Hu Shijie, Li Licheng is very suitable for picking up the girder when Hu Shijie and Miao Zhengwei are away.

When the villagers arrived at the field, a group of greedy ghosts and bears gathered, originally five or six, but now the number has reached about ten, and there are three or four female bears with bear cubs.

In the past month, these bears have been waiting here every day for melons to eat, and they have become more familiar with the people in the village after getting along for so long, and now the bears are no longer waiting outside, but seeing people pulling the cart over, they came up directly, humming and began to beg for food.

The villagers did not reprimand these bears, but took out some steamed buns, buns and other things from the baskets they carried and fed them to the bears.

While the bear was eating, Li Licheng divided the work here: "Changsheng, your family starts from that side, Liren, your family starts from the melon field in the southeast, today's task is this big slope, go back after cutting!"

"Uncle, are you getting money today?" Li Dan shouted with a smile.

When they heard that they were receiving the money, everyone pricked up their ears at the same time.

Li Licheng said with a smile: "Of course you get the money, if you don't get the money, you have to cut half of the slope over there today, less nonsense, hurry up and move, in addition, don't feed the bears too much, feed these cowards and some people are lazy and lazy! Now they are the new force of our village, they can't be fed too much, if they want to be fed, they will be fed at night, and they will be fed less during the day to let them work more!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone was happy, and when they were done, they picked up the sickle in their hands and scattered around, and began to chop watermelons.

More than a dozen large and small bears finished eating the steamed buns in their hands or something, and they also scattered in all directions, and saw someone chopping down the watermelon, and the melon cutter turned it over with both hands, and the bear ran over, stretched out his hands and began to roll the watermelon to the edge of the field at the bottom of the slope and pile it up.

Don't look at the bear's movements are very clumsy, but rolling watermelons is much more powerful than people, they can roll melons up easily, even if there is no slope, they can roll melons like a wheel. More than a dozen large and small bears rolled melons, and there were more than 20 good boys.

More than a dozen large and small bears completely wrapped up the work of rolling melons, everyone only needs to cut melons in the field, cut melons with both hands, the bears will understand that the melons are cut, so they go over to push down the slope, and can also pile watermelons into a pile.

The man and bear cooperated almost perfectly, and after almost an hour, the first melon field of the day was closed.

"This one is ready!"

Li Licheng shouted at the inspectors next to him, and the inspectors immediately ran over and began to label the melons and measure the grade. It is then loaded into trucks and transported to the village, where they are loaded onto trucks and transported to factories in the county.

The villagers and a group of puppy bears began to cut another melon field.

At noon, the man and the bear had finished their meal together, and each found shade to rest in the shade of a tree.

Li Licheng asked, according to the rules that have always been followed, "How many unqualified melons are there now?"

Li Liren stood up with a smile, took a puff with a cigarette holder, then snuffed out the cigarette butt in the trunk next to him, walked to the melon pile, picked out two low-grade watermelons, and let people move into the crowd.

The low-grade melon is just not suitable for refining is not to say that it is unpalatable, it tastes similar to the watermelon sold on the roadside, not very sweet, but it is also a naturally ripe melon, and the taste is still good if you are not particular.

Of course, the taste of melons is much worse than that of high-grade and first-class products.

But then again, if a melon is hundreds or even thousands of dollars bigger, which family is willing to eat it?

The food is all big tickets, so now in the village, except for Canghai's family, everyone else eats inferior melons.

As soon as the watermelon was moved, a young man immediately picked up the melon saw and began to saw the melon, sawed into pieces and distributed them to the villagers, and the randomly sawed ones were divided into bears who were also busy all day.

When sawing melons, the bears don't rob them, so the old man surrounds the melons, waiting for people to divide the melons, and the bears who get the melons sit down directly and hold the watermelon and gnaw it, and throw the melon skin after gnawing, continue to stare at the round eyes and stretch out his hand to ask for the melon, and continue to gnaw after taking the melon, until the watermelons are eaten up.

People and bears sat together under the shade of the tree and ate watermelons in a big gulp, a few slices of melons in the stomach, people were refreshing, they found a place to take a nap, and waited for the heat of the sun to be not so high, everyone got up and continued to work.

Today, it's past six o'clock, and the task has been completed. The big guy loaded the last batch of chopped watermelons into the car, and left seven or eight low-grade melons with no extraction value on the ground for a group of bears to serve them dinner.

As for the remaining melon skins, they naturally fell into the stomach of the wild boar, and when the wild boar was swept away, there were no pieces of melon skin in the whole scene, and the wild boar became the best scavenger of watermelon skin.
