Chapter 56: There is gossip
I dug up the seedlings that had just been picked and thrived, and I dug thirty or fifty plants in one breath before stopping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Then I went to the place where the next set was set, but unfortunately there were rabbits on the set every day, and I didn't hit it today. But in the trap dug yesterday, I still picked up two pheasants, and they were quite fat.
When he lifted the pheasant, a warm smile appeared on his handsome face.
With a bamboo basket of purple bamboo on his shoulder, two fat pheasants in his left hand and a large bundle of dry firewood in his right hand, Xiang Gang flashed out of the bamboo forest and met with Qingling.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and there will probably be a heavy rain, most likely of lightning and thunder.
Therefore, the two did not stay on the mountain for long, anyway, the purpose of this trip up the mountain has been achieved, and they also unexpectedly harvested two pheasants, and there is meat to eat tonight. Both of them were very happy, and rushed down the mountain to Zhang's house.
The members of the club are also busy at this time.
Although it was the first time since this year's summer harvest that the weather changed, luck was good - most of the paddy had been dried and put into storage, and most of the seedlings had been planted.
But there is still a small part that has not been completed, and this is not as the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the battle with God for food has completely begun.
The president and the secretary also went into battle shirtless and joined the ranks of grabbing food.
A few people were left to continue planting seedlings in the seedling field, and the rest were concentrated in the drying field, shoveling, bagging, carting, and warehousing. Back and forth, trying to get the most grain into the commune warehouse in the shortest possible time.
At first, there were people who complained that God was not good, and there was still a heavy rain in the last few days, but in the end, no one gossiped, because it was getting darker and darker, and they just cared about working against time, hoping to win the time.
Xiang Gang sent Qingling to Zhang's house, unloaded the bamboo basket and two pheasants, and also came to the grain drying field to help.
"Good boy!" Xiang Rongxin wiped his sweat and gave him a thumbs up.
The president also smiled at him kindly, thinking about the game he talked about yesterday, and I don't know if there is a ...... today
Xiang Gang's addition relieved a lot of pressure on everyone.
He was a tall man and a soldier from the army, and watching him work was as enjoyable as watching a playβas soon as he grabbed and lifted it with both hands, he threw a sack full of grain on his shoulders, and carried a bag in his hand, jumped to the trolley in three steps and two steps to unload it, and returned to the sack in the blink of an eye...... Two sacks back and forth were solved, and everyone here only sent a sack to the car, whether it was speed or strength, it couldn't compare to him.
Seeing that a group of young men of the same age were very envious, they all looked at their own arms, why didn't they tangle their muscles with bulging muscles?
And the young daughters-in-law and the unmarried girls who were in charge of sweeping and loading the grain blushed when they looked at Xiang Gang's oily and strong chest muscles.
With the help of Xiang Gang, everyone finally rushed to send the grain from the drying field into the granary before the rainstorm.
The front foot entered the commune, and the back foot saw the raindrops the size of beans falling with the rumbling thunder.
For a while, everyone couldn't go home, or squatted or stood or sat on the ground and gathered under the eaves of the commune to chat.
Xiang Gang leaned on the pillar at the entrance of the health center, lazily watching Zhang Youkang squeeze the blood and disinfect the members who were bitten by leeches when they grabbed seeds.
The rain was so heavy, it was okay left and right, so I waited for the old doctor to leave with him after work.
There weren't a few people squatting around him, so maybe he was still afraid of some bad luck. But it's good, it's quiet, and the air is good. Just experienced a sweaty harvest, everyone has the smell of sweat, so many people huddle together, can't make people faint.
However, there are also members who are not afraid of superstition, who came over to greet him, some had a good relationship with his father in his early years, some were curious about what position he held in the army, and some came to inquire about how many people he needed to find for the renovation of his house.
One of them was the uncle who saw him repairing the chicken coop in the backyard of Shu's house in the afternoon, patted him on the shoulder and asked with a narrow smile: "Have you helped Yingfang repair the chicken coop?"
When everyone heard this, there was gossip!
Zhang Youkang, who was sitting at the table disinfecting the members, also heard it.
It was a hot day, and the paper-paste lattice window was supported high, and Xiang Gang leaned on the pillar in front of the window, so he could hear it clearly.
After a pause, he thought in his heart: It seems that my wife is not wrong, it is time to ask Gangzi about it. If there is no object, it is okay, and someone has to tell him to distance himself from Yingfang. It's a good thing to help, but you can't stand the arrangement of someone with a heart.
Xiang Gang was quite calm, squinted at the pouring rain, and said lazily, "It's repaired." Why wait for the farm to be busy and then ask everyone for help. Besides, Uncle Zhang accepts apprentices, what a happy thing, other favors can't help, don't you want me to build a chicken pen for other apprentices? β
As soon as these words came out, the words immediately deflected direction.
"What's that? Lao Zhang has taken in the apprenticeship? When did it happen?"
"Who took it?
"Really, that's not young, isn't she? Can you still study medicine with Lao Zhang?"
Everyone fried the pot, and they wanted to dig up some gossip as a pastime, but when such news came out, they turned their heads to look at Zhang Youkang in the house:
"Hey, Lao Zhang, is what Gangzi said true? Are you accepting apprentices? Are you still the daughter of Jianjun?"
"That's right. After Zhang Youkang finished disinfecting the poison, he wiped his hands and came out to prove, "Old man, I can be regarded as a successor now." After distributing the grain, I will go to the county seat to cut some meat and invite everyone to rub it. β
This is the result of the discussion between him and his wife last night, and he will always announce it after receiving the apprentice. Otherwise, who knows if he has taken in disciples?
In the countryside, the best way is to invite a few tables of wine, and there is no need to have more high-grade dishes, cut a few catties of pork belly, stew a pork vermicelli or something, wrap some cabbage dumplings, and make some cabbage dumplings and shepherd's cabbage dumplings...... In short, it is lively to hold a few tables.
"Haha! That's a good feeling! Let's wait for Lao Zhang, you to have a treat." β
"Today seems to be an auspicious day for the zodiac, it rains so heavily that our brigade has not left a handful of millet outside, where is there such a good luck in previous years. Lao Zhang has accepted another apprentice, a good thing! Double happiness is a great thing! Why do you want to have a lively time, Lao Zhang?"
"That's right! Happy events should be celebrated! The left and right sides are over, Lao Zhang, you say, when are you going to do it, I'll help you. β
"There is still some rice wine left from my family years ago, Lao Zhang, you invite me to eat meat, I invite you to eat wine, haha......"
"The yellow eels and loaches that my family has caught in the past few days are still kept in a pot and are not willing to eat, Lao Zhang, you have to use them. Just go back and light a cigarette ticket for me. β
