The spring rain shocks the spring and the valley sky, and the summer is full of mangs and the summer and summer are connected.

Autumn dew, autumn frost, winter snow and snow and winter small and big cold.

The two sessions per month do not change, with a maximum difference of one or two days.

In the first half of the year, it was June and twenty-one, and in the second half of the year, it was August and twenty-three.

The dates of the two sessions per month are fixed, and the maximum is not less than one or two days. ……

After the year, the weather gradually became hotter, and even the snow on the mountain almost melted in less than half a month, leaving only the shady slope to see a little unmelted snow.

The earth also stripped its white coat, revealing the black skin within.

When every old man talks about the world, he talks about farming.

A group of naughty children, regardless of whether the road is muddy or not, running back and forth from east to west, and the village also resounded with them singing these 24 solar terms.

After all, farming nowadays still depends on the experience of the older generation.

Zhou Shujie felt that the days after the New Year were very fast, and before he felt it, he passed the beginning of spring and the spring equinox.

It is also possible that there are more things in her family at the beginning of the New Year this year, which distracted her energy and ideas, so she didn't find out.

In this way, the day has come to the 19th day of the second month of the lunar calendar and the 4th day of the fourth month of the solar calendar, which is the Qingming Festival.

Zhou Shujie took the "Huangxian paper" that his second brother brought back from the market, and wanted to go to Xishan to sweep the grave of his father-in-law.

Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law didn't want to meet too many people in the village, so they got up early in the morning.

As the old saying goes, "It is rare to rain in the valley, and it is rare to be sunny in Qingming." ”

It was cloudy this morning, and when Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law went out, the road under their feet was muddy after the snow melted, and there were small snow particles floating in the air.

I thought that it wouldn't be cold when the snow melted, so I didn't need to cover it so tightly.

When Zhou Shujie went out in the morning, he didn't even bring his hands to cover his hair. Now I feel frozen when I carry a frame.

Fortunately, the padded jacket on his body had not been taken off, so he moved the frame on his arm in, inserted the padded jacket sleeve in his two hands, and followed his mother-in-law to Xishan with his sleeve.

Not to mention, I really didn't meet a few people back and forth, and even if I met my mother-in-law, I looked cowering and bowing my head and didn't dare to speak.

When others look at it, they will only think that her mother-in-law's illness is just a little better to go out.

The two of them went back quickly, and it took an hour to go back and forth.

Zhou Shujie entered the house and hurriedly walked to the house.

When I entered the house, I saw that the two children sleeping on the kang had not woken up, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was usual, she would ask Aunt Guo to help watch the children for a while.

But today is Qingming, and everyone has to go to sweep the tomb.

Therefore, she and her mother-in-law can only take advantage of the fact that the child's sleeping time is about to go back soon.

Afraid that the children would fall to the ground when they woke up, Zhou Shujie also deliberately set a nail on the windowsill and tied two strips of cloth to the feet and necks of the two children.

Zhou Shujie was afraid of waking up the child, so he lightly got on the kang and slowly untied the cloth strips on the child's ankle.

Seeing that the two children did not wake up because of her movements, she was relieved to let her mother-in-law watch the children at home, and she went to cook in the outhouse.

Zhou Shujie: They have an episode every ten days.

The sixth day after Qingming is the day of the market.

It is said that the ancients opened the door seven things, piano, chess, books, paintings, poems, wine, and flowers.

And now, Zhou Shujie's seven things to open the door are, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.

After this winter's consumption, many things in the home have begun to stop flowing, such as Sichuan pepper, soy sauce and other condiments.

Zhou Shujie followed the ox cart driven by her second brother and bought a lot of daily necessities at the market.

As soon as I got home for lunch, I heard someone in the village shouting for each family to assemble in the brigade, saying that there was something to announce.

My mother-in-law has been sick for so many years, and now she doesn't want to be in front of people. So the one their family can go to is Zhou Shujie.

Zhou Shujie fed the two children and went out to the team headquarters.

By the time she got there, everyone was pretty much there.

Usually, I can't tell how many people there are in the village, but there are really a lot of people standing in the courtyard of this gathering.

The secretary and village chief Zhou Changwen, who is Zhou Shujie's uncle of the same clan, stood on a simple podium made of wooden nails, raised his hand and pressed down against the people in Wuyang and Wuyang in this courtyard.

As he moved, the villagers' voices gradually became quieter.

As soon as he heard that his voice was quiet, the village chief shouted: "Today...... We're going to a meeting...... I received instructions from my superiors...... Now there are two things to announce. …… First things first...... Hongqi Forest Farm retired a batch of tractors...... Now it's time for our commune. “

As soon as they heard that the tractors had arrived at the commune, the villagers began to talk about the "buzz" in the audience, interrupting the speech of the village chief on the stage.

The village chief could only raise his hand and press down, shouting while pressing: "Listen to me, don't make noise, listen to me......"

The village chief's shout called everyone back to their senses, and they immediately shut up and stopped talking, staring at the village chief with excited eyes.

The village chief thought about what he had just said, coughed twice, cleared his throat and continued: "... This tractor ...... Yes, it's a red card from the East...... With the guy who ploughed the ground and sowed seeds...... Our commune has only seven ...... We have a total of 12 brigades...... The brigade that first scraped together the money will be given to which brigade...... A tractor, plus equipment, is 42,000 yuan...... Our brigade has 22,000 yuan, and there is still a gap of 20,000 yuan...... I called you here today in the hope that you can make money,...... Let's buy the tractor back!cough...... Ahem!"

The village chief shouted excitedly when he said this, and he shouted and grabbed himself.

The secretary took over from the side and said, "I went to the lonely old man,...... There are a total of 200 households in our village...... Each family gets a hundred dollars...... You won't take this money for nothing...... This spring, the sowing brigade is all inclusive. ”

The village chief continued, "That's the first thing for the day. …… The second thing...... If only we could buy the tractor back. …… The cattle and horses in the village were sold to the villagers...... Three hundred and one cow and four hundred horses...... Guys have everything with them...... There is the desired first total. ”

Hearing this, the villagers in the audience began to talk again.

The village chief shouted two more times before the people were stopped, and the village chief continued: "I'll talk about buying cattle later...... Let's start with the money to buy a tractor...... I'll give you half an hour to go home and get the money,...... We had enough money, and in the afternoon we went to drive the tractor back. ”

As soon as the village chief finished saying this, everyone's enthusiasm was immediately aroused, especially the young men, who all gathered around the platform with their fists rubbing their fists and asking the village chief if they could follow.

The villagers with money in their pockets, such as Zhou Shujie, made up to the table, and each family handed over the money for 100 yuan, and the secretary was on the side, keeping accounts while collecting the money.

There were also those who didn't bring money, and ran home in a panic to get the money.

At this time, the villagers were very simple.

As long as the brigade says to collect money, even if it doesn't, it will borrow and hand over the money.

After Zhou Shujie paid the money, she didn't have anything to do, how to say that she was also a person who had seen the world, so she didn't gather around like the villagers, and went home to inquire about the east and west.

When I got home, I talked to my mother-in-law about the two things that the village announced today.

I told my mother-in-law that I had finished paying the money, and discussed with my mother-in-law that I didn't need to buy a cow for my own family.

In the end, as soon as the two of them were combined, they still didn't buy it, there were only two women in the family, the old and the young, and no one had ever put it up, so I was afraid that it wouldn't understand.

Zhou Shujie actually has her own careful thoughts, she feels that these two women in her family can't swing the cow, but isn't there still the uncle's family, their family members go back to serve the cow, she thinks about taking some money herself, and partnering with the uncle to buy a cow, and the two families change shifts when they work.

Zhou Shujie thought about this in her heart, organized the language and told her mother-in-law.

When the mother-in-law heard this, she also felt that it was very good, so she nodded and agreed, and if she really bought the cow, she would partner with her uncle's family.
