Chapter 136: Alternative Approach
People seem to have endless energy, heavy ramming and flying, eight ropes like a melody beating up and down, melodious and brisk, the end of the tether does not seem to be a heavy rammer, but hope and joy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, during this period, people did not have enough to eat, joy was even rarer, and the heavy life suppressed people's emotions.
But once you have your fill of food, labor becomes a joy. Among them, there is no temptation of money, there is no competition for fame, and some are just simple feelings.
The singing attracted a lot of old people and children to watch, everyone laughed and laughed, dancing along with the song, and the scene was very lively.
If a traveler suddenly comes here and doesn't know the cause and effect, he must think that this is the peach blossom source described by Tao Yuanming.
Captain Wang Guilan also came. After he sent workers to the members, he waited for the people to come down to the field and come to have a look.
He was amazed at how well the white-haired grandmother took care of the family.
rammed it, and actually gave fifty catties of cornmeal. If it is raw grain, it will take half a day just to push the mill. It's really meticulously cared for!
The white-haired grandmother loves to pay attention to people, he can't help but pay attention, not to mention that the relationship between the two families is already good.
He didn't eat breakfast here. A bowl of gruel with two bull's eye sockets, for his body of more than one meter and seven meters, he can't even suppress hunger. The waist is bent over, and the people who are alive and vigorous are in stark contrast.
Listening to his "growling" stomach, Ma Huien hurriedly took out three nests, half a small bowl of pickles, and said to him: "It's not very cold, you can eat it while it's warm!"
"No, no, no, don't be enough. Wang Guilan postponed it unwillingly, but her eyes were like hooks, and she never left the nest.
The captain is also a human being, and when he is hungry, his eyes will shine when he encounters food.
Ma Huien: "Enough, enough, enough, fifty pounds of cornmeal, scoop out two bowls to make porridge, and the rest are all steamed." The three major baskets, I didn't finish one basket this morning. ”
"Then I'll eat. With that, the bones fell to the ground and began to eat in small gulps.
The three nest heads went down, and they had strength in their bodies, and the people who replaced them held the tamping rope for a while.
In Wang Changsuo's stay, Wang Guilan also ate here for lunch. Helped in the afternoon for an afternoon.
Tamping is not done in one go, it has to be beaten three times. The first time is good, fill the foundation trough with a layer of soil and sprinkle it with water. When the soil is laid again, the newly filled soil is just the right amount of moisture.
If the soil is wet in some places, it is like bread and elastic, so it is necessary to dig up the soil that has been beaten alive, replace it with dry soil, and then tamp it compactly.
In this way, the house built will be strong and strong, and the people who live in it will live in peace and contentment.
Therefore, there are those who rammed, and there are those who do odd jobs, replacing each other, and there are basically no idlers.
Spinach sliced meat soup and cornmeal nest head eaten at noon.
People haven't seen meat for a long time, and when they eat it, it's fragrant and straight. A person drinks three bowls and two bowls, and the golden nest head can be made vigorously. They all ate a lot of food again.
In the afternoon, when the tamping was carried out, eight people worked together, and the tamping was higher than the people.
When the ramming was thrown to a high place, Wang's belly couldn't reach it, his hands took off his handles, and he stopped shouting in his mouth, and scolded: "You little *** hanging, you are supported by the golden nest head fragrant meat soup, you can't use your strength, and you want to hang Lao Tzu up." ”
People giggled, and the next time they threw it lower, so that Wang Da's belly could accurately ram the position that should be tamped.
"It's surprisingly good. Wang Tingshuo looked at the foundation groove and said happily: "The foundation groove is dense, the groove surface is smooth, and the corners are in place, which is better than any time in previous years when the house was built! I didn't expect that in the year of the great famine, everyone could make such a good foundation groove." ”
"It's your family's good food. Wang Changfeng wiped the sweat on his face, and said with satisfaction: "In the year of the Great Famine, you can eat a full meal by selling your strength, where can you find such a good thing? Uncle Shuo, when the frame of the house is built, you tell Brother Suo, can you not call me!"
Wang Tingshuo: "Don't worry, don't worry, no work can be done without you descendants, don't ask you to call anyone!"
"When will the frame be built?" asked Aunt Ying's son, Wang Guiqi.
Wang Tingshuo: "I heard that the billet hasn't dried yet, so I'll notify you when it's done." ”
Wang Guiqi: "I really hope your family will build a few more houses." ”
"Big nephew, spare me!" Wang Changsuo replied, "If I hadn't held on, I wouldn't have worked for everyone during the great famine." ”
Wang Guiqi: "Uncle Suo, you are wrong, we wish you were ramming every day, just to be able to have a full meal." ”
"You pigs!"
Someone beat Wang Guiqi and shuddered, and people laughed, but they laughed very reluctantly.
Lamei looked at this moving scene, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Nowadays, people are really simple and simple, although they are doing hard work, and people are also very tired, but as long as they have food, they are happier than anything else.
Building a house for my parents in the year of the great famine is a step that is the right step: my parents and family have a house to live in, and I can also provide a full meal for the helpers, which is not an alternative way to help people survive the year of famine.
………………………………………………
Leaving Wang Changsuo and leading the family to build the house foundation, not to mention the preparations before building the house, let's talk about the production team:
The nest in the canteen is big, and the porridge is getting thinner. Although people were hungry, they didn't complain about the captain, because the eleventh team was already good, and they still had "dry food" to eat.
Someone specially inquired, and only the eleventh team of the thirteen production teams in the entire Wangdian Village was still steaming in the nest.
Although it is only the size of a bull's eye, it is "dry food" after all, and other teams have eaten substitute food: wheat straw, chaff, bean stalk, bean husk, corn root, corn stalk, corn wrapper, corn cob, sorghum stalk, etc., to make starch and use it to satisfy hunger.
Other teams only have a bowl of thin gruel that can illuminate people at each meal, but the porridge on team eleven can still hang the bowl after all.
What puzzled people was that the captain Wang Guilan actually let people learn to make starch. said that it was called for from above, and although it has not yet been done, people still put their hearts in their throats.
People have already noticed the vicious news of the Great Famine: in the streets and alleys, there are rumors everywhere: so-and-so starved to death, how many people starved to death in so-and-so village, so-and-so walked and walked, fell on his heels and never got up again.
The people in the village are yellow and thin, the children are not developing, the adult women have no menstruation, and everyone is like a dry wood that can walk, and the wind can blow it down.
The more the news spreads, the more ferocious the food. People also regard the food in their mouths as more and more expensive, and a mouthful of porridge can cause disputes.
People began to weigh the level of the rice spoon in the canteen. The steamed buns of Wang in charge have become the focus of people's discussions.
Many people say that the Wang steamed buns in charge of the spoon are biased, and when they are served, the rice spoon is deliberately crooked, and they take a large mouthful of porridge less.
