Chapter 17: Sweet potatoes for daughters-in-law
Next, everyone asked a lot of questions, although a few questions were to the point, but everyone asked very happily.
When they all dispersed, there were still people discussing how their families could work, and they would definitely get a lot of food and so on.
As for some people who are already lazy, they are a little sad.
In the future, I am afraid that their life will not be easy.
This kind of day when you can eat the same thing as everyone without working, I'm afraid there will be no more in the future.
It's a pity to think about it.
But I don't know that the main reason for the failure of the original policy is because of the existence of people like them.
The good guys have a leading role, and the bad guys definitely have an influential role.
If absolute fairness is enforced in the absence of absolute fairness, then such absolute fairness is itself unfair.
……
"Big Niu, if it is calculated by centimeters in the future, our family should have two full work points!
You are one, Tiezhu is also seventeen years old this year, and he can also be counted as one.
Sanjin is only ten years old this year, and it is estimated that he should not be counted as a full job, at most he can only count half a job like me.
Eh, by the way, Tiezhu is seventeen years old this year, isn't it time to find him a daughter-in-law?
I remember we settled down at the age of fourteen, and we got married at the age of sixteen!"
As she spoke, Liu Mei suddenly thought of Tie Zhu's age, indeed, on their side, seventeen years old is not too young.
Some of them got married early, and maybe they were already holding children at the age of seventeen.
In fact, if it weren't for the bad situation last year, not to mention the dowry at home, or no matter how many people there are, it would be a problem whether they can support or not.
may have helped Tie Zhu Zhang Luo last year.
But it's not too late.
"At this time, it's good, maybe the dowry doesn't cost money, just give a little food.
However, we don't have any food at home!
There are only a few pink bricks left by the old village chief to boil for a few months, and that thing must be kept secret, and it must not be given out as a dowry. ”
Wang Daniu was a little embarrassed.
To be honest, if he asks for money, he might be able to figure it out.
After all, even if he is a concubine, he is also the concubine of the landlord's family, and he will give him something out of face for the sake of face.
There are no more, and a dozen or so silver dollars are still taken out.
You can go to the bank and exchange it for a dollar.
But the current situation is that if you have money, you can't buy food, let alone other things, and everything needs tickets.
They are not workers, let alone townspeople, and they have no chance of getting tickets.
Therefore, if it weren't for the pink bricks in the ancestral hall and the relief food distributed on it, they would really be able to starve to death with money in their hands.
Wang Xin happened to walk in from outside at this time and heard their conversation.
His eyes rolled, thinking that if his eldest brother married a daughter-in-law, he shouldn't always be staring at him.
So he immediately stepped forward quickly, half-tilted his head and said, "Is the eldest brother going to get married?"
I have a lot of food and a lot of sweet potatoes!
You can give it to your eldest brother as a dowry!"
Wang Daniu didn't care much about Wang Xin's words, in his opinion, how many sweet potatoes can a minor kid hide?
At most, dig a few sweet potatoes from which side to hide.
It's really hard now, but it's not so difficult that two or three sweet potatoes can marry a daughter-in-law and come back.
Wang Xin saw that he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and dragged him into his room, then came to his bed and lifted the bed board hard.
Under the hollow bed, a bed full of sweet potatoes is spread.
In addition to sweet potatoes, there are also a lot of dried vegetables.
Didn't he plant a lot of sweet potato seedlings and all kinds of cold-resistant vegetables in the mountains?
At that time, he planted relatively hidden, except for himself who knew exactly where the sweet potatoes were planted, and other villagers wanted to find them, so they really had to try their luck.
Later, when it started to rain, he began to brave the rain to harvest sweet potatoes in the mountains.
There is a shopping cart to cover up, so it has never been discovered.
Because the sweet potato seedlings he planted were all bought from Taobao and improved, although it was not time to harvest, but the size of the dug up is still not small, and there is no fiber, no worse than the sweet potatoes that are really ripe here.
So, he really collected a lot of it back at that time, and he also managed to remind some friends of the same age as him to go up the mountain to dig together.
But people don't want to go in the rain.
In the end, he was left alone to dig it.
Sweet potatoes can not be soaked in water for a long time, at the beginning of a period of time, the dug sweet potatoes can still be eaten, and after half a month, the sweet potatoes buried in the soil begin to rot.
At this time, the villagers who had hoped for the rain to stop were no longer hopeful.
But it was too late, and the sweet potatoes planted in the village had already been soaked.
Even if they don't soak it, they can't actually harvest much, because they grow the kind of sweet potatoes that have not been improved in ancient times, and the yield itself is not particularly high, plus there is no fertilizer or anything, and the planting time is still short.
Even if you harvest it when it's not rotten, it's a small, fiber-filled sweet potato.
Most of the sweet potatoes that Wang Xin planted on the mountain at that time were also rotten, and the part he dug out was only a very small part.
After all, he didn't know how to farm, let alone dig sweet potatoes, he dug them all by brute force, and the time was short, and others didn't have much strength, so how much could he dig?
The sweet potatoes under the bed are all the harvest he has harvested in the rain for half a month.
Halfway through, because of the rain and fever, I secretly bought some fever medicine on Taobao, but I didn't dare to let them know.
"This ...... How can there be so many? Where did you come from?"
Wang Daniu was also startled when he looked at the sweet potatoes in his belly, such a pile, how could it be four or five hundred catties.
So much is simply a bit unimaginable.
Although the total yield is less than half an acre, the key point is that these sweet potatoes are obviously not dug from the village field.
"I dug from the mountain, and I didn't run up the mountain for half a month when it rained?
That's when I dug it, in fact, I secretly pinched sweet potato vines in the village a long time ago, and then found a way to plant them in the mountains.
At that time, I saw that it had been raining for two days, so I dug up the sweet potatoes planted in the mountains.
What's the matter, is it enough for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law?"
Wang Xin said half-truthfully, and then pretended to be innocent and tilted his head, hoping to get some affirmative praise.
At this time, the perception of some things in private possession, including what everything on the mountain is collective, is not very obvious.
Therefore, of course, Wang Daniu will not blame Wang Xin, not to mention, even if it becomes obvious and strict later, it is impossible for him to poke this matter out.
After all, it's a benefit, who has nothing to poke outside!
What's more, the sweet potato seedlings were all planted by his son, shouldn't they be taken back?
