Autumn is coming, the rice in the fields is about to be harvested, and the sweet potatoes in the fields are going to be dug up. The seven families in Huangniping were very busy, and even Uncle Chuanmeng, who was doing odd jobs in repairing water, came back, and only the Li Chuanlin brothers were still working in the county seat.

It's not so much how busy the construction site is, it's that they can't come back and do these things. One of the two brothers is a carpenter and the other is a mason, and they can earn fifteen yuan a day for food and shelter, but even if they hire someone to do these farm work at home, it is only eight yuan a day, and they only cover one lunch. What's more, there are few fields in Chongxiang, and one person has not yet five points of land, so why do they need to come back for that little farm work? The second aunt took the fourth uncle, the fourth aunt, and the eldest sister, and they all finished after two more days of hard work.

In the past two days, the second aunt and her family have finished harvesting their rice, and they came to help Li Jiaming today. In the past, when it came to this solar term, everyone went directly to the fields, but today they came to his house in a detour, for the reason for his problem just now.

There are second and fourth aunts, and Li Jiaming, who just put on a straw hat, no longer quarrels with the fourth uncle, and directly explained: "Fourth uncle, in fact, this is a conceptual problem, in the past, everyone had no place to work, so they could only live on a few acres of fields, of course, I hope that the more fields, the better."

Now that there is a place to work and make money, who will not be able to calculate this account? I, yes, and my second uncle, have not come back, and would rather you work harder and earn that 15 or 20 yuan a day's wages? It's just that everyone's concept is still stuck in the past, and they habitually think that the more fields, the better, but in fact, in a place like ours, farming is the least cost-effective!"

The active-minded fourth uncle immediately understood that farming was indeed not cost-effective, otherwise he would not have gone to work in the first place, but from another aspect, since he didn't farm, the public grain and the overall fund had nothing to do with him?

Li Jiaming laughed and sneered: "You want to be beautiful!"

"Why?"

The fourth brother really understands that the policy is formulated by the government and implemented by them. Since you don't pay the public grain and the overall fund, then all the land, mountains and forests will be recovered, and they will subcontract them to other villagers.

"Damn, it's really official!"

Scolding is scolding, but the reality is like this, otherwise everyone would not take the reader so seriously. As long as you can read, you can become a cadre and eat commercial grain for one dime and eight cents a pound, instead of buying seven cents and two cents of resale grain (grain sold by the state to peasants who lack grain).

The fourth brother went home to read, Li Jiaming followed the second aunt and a few of them to talk and laugh and go down to the field, and the aunt who came to help cut the rice for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Jiaming, you just said that you want to take the field out?"

Li Jiaming is not a real twelve-year-old girl, how can he not know the mind of the second aunt? From the time she followed behind with a sickle, he guessed one or two.

'Hey, hey, hey', Li Jiaming laughed a few times in a low voice, and slapped the fourth uncle who was stepping on the threshing machine (a kind of semi-mechanical rice threshing) with his mouth, and whispered: "Auntie, that's a joke with the fourth uncle, how can I do such a big thing?"

The aunt is indeed a stupid person, she can't even cheat, and she tried her best to persuade her: "But what you said is also reasonable, farming really can't make money, and you are working outside, how can you have time to plant?

If the aunt didn't have the two good sons of the fourth brother and the third brother, Li Jiaming would definitely find a reason to talk nonsense while asking her to help her finish cutting the rice before leaving. But there are two good sons, Li Jiaming can only smile and say: "Auntie, I know what you mean, but that's impossible." ”

The unwilling aunt immediately asked, "Why?"

Why? After planting rice, you can still grow rapeseed, but if you don't grow rapeseed, where will the oil come from? Besides, even if my father can go out to work smoothly next year, the land will definitely be handed over to the second uncle and the uncle to help plant, how can it be handed over to the uncle who has a thin relationship?

Auntie, auntie, Li Jiaming sighed secretly, and had no choice but to lie: "The last time the second uncle and Uncle Chuanzu persuaded me to go to work, they said this. If I go out to work, they will help plant the land, and my sister and I will go to the second uncle's house for dinner, and he will send some tuition and miscellaneous fees, oil and salt money back. ”

Li Jiaming's father has more than two acres of land, a few points of vegetable land, and more than one mu of sweet potato land, and in addition to paying public grain, retaining the overall fund, seeds and fertilizers, etc., the two acres of land should be able to leave five or six hundred catties of grain a year, and can also grow a crop of rape. In addition, nearly one and a half acres of vegetable land and sweet potato land, if it is only for two children to eat, this condition is not a loss, but it is definitely not cheap, because farming and farming also need to be manual.

As soon as she heard Li Jiaming say this, the aunt sighed in disappointment, and just found a reason to leave, which made him laugh. Anyway, he is also an elder, so what is the problem of helping him cut the grass for a morning?

But when the aunt went back to say it, the uncle's face was gloomy, and he whispered after a while: "You were fooled by that conscienceless person!"

"What?"

"Stupid! That beast can cook and stir-fry by himself, and even chop firewood by himself, and he will go to the second child's house to eat?"

Yes, the aunt who reacted also had a gloomy face and scolded fiercely: "A beast without conscience, Jiade and Sanyan might as well teach pigs and dogs!"

After scolding, the aunt was puzzled again, and asked in a low voice: "Chuanjian, you said that beast can't make land, what's the use of domineering?"

As long as he keeps teaching those two money-losers, the two of them will always help him with the fields. Hmph, that brute stumbled, but he made his head smart!"

The aunt asked the uncle to dial it like this, turned around and walked to the attic, and scolded in a low voice: "No, I have to go and tell Jiade to stop tutoring that unconscionable beast." ”

"Come back!"

"What's wrong again?"

To say that this thing is really a thing, the aunt who is spicy outside, but at home has always obeyed the uncle's words, in addition to the relationship between the two, more importantly, the uncle's brain is much smarter than her.

"What do you know? That beast is so scheming at such a young age, who is not good for you to offend, you must offend such a person? Do you know what the old saying goes?

You see, it's okay if he doesn't have a chance in the future, but if he has a chance, he may not remember the people who helped him, and the people who offended him will definitely take revenge!"

The aunt who had just walked to the door and turned her head again also felt a little chilling when she remembered Li Jiaming's stubborn eyes when he was beaten two months ago. How hard is the heart of that beast when he was beaten into a blood gourd and carried it without saying a word? I have seen a lot of people who are ruthless to others, and those who are even more ruthless to themselves are what make people afraid!

The aunt, who had nothing to do, sat on the edge of the bed and said angrily: "Then what do you say?"

The uncle, who had already calmed down, said disdainfully: "What should I do? The second child gave birth to four girls, the third child only had one cub, and the fourth child had no cubs, so it is difficult to say whether there are cubs in his life." As long as the eldest and second men can pass the exam, don't they want to help us provide for them?

In this world, if there is no one in the family who can read, sooner or later people will be bullied to death! Last time, the second child was imprisoned for more than ten days, if there was a cadre in our Li family, would the people from the police station dare to do that?"

This is true, if the matter three years ago had been spread on the heads of those big families in Yinzitan or Qingniping, the township government might not have dared to do so much. In the final analysis, there are still few Li families, and there are no two who are competitive. If it were changed to the present, even if it was two and a half big men with family morality and family morality, those township cadres would think about their future and not go so far. If they go too far, the Li family's future generations will have a chance to promiscuously, and they will only have ghosts if they don't take revenge on the dead! The people in the mountains are no better than the people in the cities, and although the clan power is weaker than before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not something that can be imagined in developed areas.

Having said that, but the aunt still remembered the words of the fourth uncle some time ago, in the past, only four of them could read, and the three brothers had to help if they didn't help, but now there is one more who can read, and two are reading seriously.

"What if you don't provide it? Chuanjian, the fourth child can be said last time, and he will help the third child to provide for that beast in the future!"

This is a big trouble, the uncle was silent for a while, and said fiercely: "Hmph, he doesn't treat us as a big brother or aunt, why do we treat him as a brother?"
