Chapter 451: Less than the top, more than the bottom
After describing the process of hearing the wolf's howl at close range to more than nine young people, those members who were so greedy that they did not hesitate to take the risk also retreated.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiang Gang killed chickens and rabbits at home, made all kinds of bacon and dried vegetables, attracting a large group of members who came to watch the excitement.
Although the game caught was evenly shared, it was impossible to stand the three people who went to Xiang Gang's side, and when they came back, they cooked together, and the scene was quite impressive.
The members of the club who didn't change the wild boar meat last time, as soon as they got the news this time, they came to Xiang's house and asked Xiang Gang to exchange some rabbit meat for a tooth sacrifice.
Of course, he didn't say that, but pushed it to the point that Xiang Gang and his party would leave for the provincial capital in the near future, carrying baskets to see them off.
Regardless of whether he is so grateful in his heart or not, he really thinks of Xiang Ganghao - this double robbery, thanks to him and the two "strong laborers" he brought, let the grain and cotton enter the warehouse in advance, and avoid the recent thunderstorm with hail without any damage.
This year's output is obviously not as good as last year's, but compared to the floods in the southern region mentioned on the radio, the members are much more balanced.
At least after paying the public rations, they will be able to get a few loads of grain according to the work they earn. Unlike the hard-hit areas, even the public rations that were planned at the beginning of the year were insufficient, let alone a year's rations.
In this way, everyone is happy again.
People are like this, they are less than the top, more than the bottom, and they can live happily if they lower their requirements appropriately.
As soon as I am happy, I will inevitably want to get some tooth sacrifices that I can't usually eat, and this will come home in groups.
Yingfang took this opportunity to get together with Feng Meiqin, a few girls and sisters-in-law who had a good relationship.
"Yingfang, after you joined the army, did you also receive a subsidy?" the little girl who came with Feng Meiqin asked enviously.
"Go, go, go! Why are you asking this! Asking in such detail, don't you also want to marry the People's Liberation Army as a military wife?"
Feng Meiqin pursed her lips, pulled Ying Fang over and explained in a whisper:
"It's her who took your place as a nurse, and she is not bad, but she loves to take advantage. After sighing, "I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I don't want to see the store, but I want to go to the ground, and finally I have time to rest, and my mother threw me a pile of red cloth and asked me to sew the clothes I wore on my wedding day...... By the way, I'm holding a wine on the second day of the lunar month, and you're going to come to drink the wine, right?"
Seeing Yingfang's belly, Feng Meiqin twitched: "Forget it, you are about to give birth at that time, and your body is heavy, so it will definitely be inconvenient." I heard my aunt say, you may not come back for the Chinese New Year this year?"
"Well, if people don't come back, the gift will definitely be delivered. Ying Fang and Feng Meiqin held hands and whispered.
The girl who didn't marry was thin-skinned, and Feng Meiqin stomped her feet shyly: "I'm not urging you to give gifts!"
"Yes, yes, I was in a hurry to give a gift. Yingfang joked a few words and stopped teasing her, "Seriously, if you have anything special to buy, and the supply and marketing cooperatives here are out of stock, I can help you go to the provincial department store to take a look." You make a list, go back and buy it for you, and if you can't find someone to carry it, I'll send it to you. If you can make up your mind in these two days, I can help you go to Haicheng Department Store, where the goods must be more complete. ”
Feng Meiqin's eyes lit up, and then she felt that this was too troublesome Yingfang, shook her head and said: "You still have a big belly, forget it, anyway, my mother said that the dowry is less, and it is the same if you marry with money." ”
"That's the same. Ying Fang smoothed the bangs on her cheeks, "Anyway, it's up to you, I'm going to Haicheng, if you have anything to bring, just tell me." I can't help anything else. ”
"Okay, wait until I go home and discuss with my mother, you can leave tomorrow morning, right? I'll see you off at the dock." ”
The two were chatting, and Feng Junda wiped his sweat and squeezed between them: "I said old classmate, I can be regarded as seeing you, it's really not easy to see you!"
The exaggerated rhetoric made Yingfang laugh.
"Aren't you a red soldier, don't you go out during the summer vacation, but you're idle at home?"
"It's not right, it's not right! And I'm not at home, I'm helping my dad plant rice." If you don't believe me, ask Meiqin, my speed of planting rice is about to catch up with the 38th Red Flag Bearer of our brigade?"
"You just blow it!" Feng Meiqin laughed and said to Yingfang, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he only planted seedlings for half a day because the speed was too slow, and he was urged by the 38 Red Flag Bearer behind him, so he had to change to the cotton field." What is about to catch up with the 38 Red Flag Bearer, it is because you are blocking the way of others, and as soon as you leave, the speed of others immediately increases by two times. You're embarrassed to say it!"
Feng Junda raised his index finger and "shhhh But even if everyone doesn't say it, they know it very well - the little son of the president's family is really not the material for farming.
"I won't tell you, I'll talk to Yingfang about something. Feng Junda mysteriously took out a handful of fabric from his trouser pocket and handed it to Yingfang, "Look! This is my newly invented color, isn't it beautiful? Do you know how to dye it? Two kinds of dyed grass with different roots are boiled separately, and the color of the boiled water is actually different - one dark blue, the other dark purple, I want to see what color they will become if they are mixed together, but I found that they do not blend, I took the cloth and soaked it in the mixture, and it became such a two-color pattern......
Ying Fang looked at the two-color fabric in her hand that looked like tie-dye, and was surprised: "Is it really dyed with those inconspicuous weeds?"
It's just like the irregular floral cloth sold in the store. This is still the coarsest kind of cloth used, and if it is dyed with muslin, it must be more delicate and refreshing.
"My brother, you invented this, it's amazing!" Feng Meiqin praised her cousin vigorously, "Catch up with me and dye me a few feet of dark purple cloth, and wear a cotton jacket as a smock when it's cold, beautiful and dirt-resistant." ”
"No problem. What color do you want to dye, old classmate?" Feng Junda shook his legs tremblingly, and wanted to continue chattering a few words, then raised his head and swept to a faintly murderous look that had just shot at him in the dark, and under the pretext that he still had something to do, he slipped out of the crowd and ran away.
Feng Meiqin pointed at his back and scolded a few words, and was about to say something else to Yingfang, when she suddenly saw a white shadow rushing towards them, and subconsciously opened her arms to stop each other: "Who are you?" I don't know if Yingfang can't help bumping into her pregnant body. ”
When she saw the person clearly, Feng Meiqin's eyes widened: "Shu Caiyun, why are you? What are you doing here? Aren't you locked up in the cowshed? Who released you?"
Ying Fang was also surprised, since Shu Caiyun ran away from home, this is the first time she has seen her. In my impression, Shu Caiyun, who picked himself up fairly cleanly, is now sloppy and can't distinguish his appearance.
