Chapter 5: The Magical Fertile Soil --- 1
Whether Li Yuedi goes to the United States or not has become a piece of her heart, if she wants to go, she must first learn English, English is a sea of swords and fires, floods and beasts, and a bottomless abyss for Li Yuedi. If it weren't for this English subject in high school, I wouldn't have done so badly in the college entrance examination. At that time, he didn't understand why good Chinese people want to learn English, he would not go to the United States in the future, he had never even been to a provincial capital, why did he learn that English. Now I have the opportunity to go to the United States, the first thing is English, I don't know English, when I go to the United States, it means that I can't speak, but when I see English, my head grows several times, how can I learn this; If she really went to the United States, she might really become her brother's daughter-in-law, which Yuedi is really willing, but her brother's knowledge is so profound, and her life in the future can only be centered on her brother. I can't learn English, I can't do music, I can only give birth to a doll for my brother, I can only cook and wash for my brother, thinking of this, Yuedi's heart is very uncomfortable, if my brother is in China, it is not like this at all, talking is not a problem, there is no problem with singing, the doll can still be born, life can still be lived, in the United States, these are really not good. Yue Di often thinks of Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree".
If I love you——, I will never be like a climbing flower, showing off myself through your high branches: if I love you——, I will never learn from the infatuated birds, repeating monotonous songs for the green shade; It's not just like a spring, it brings cool comfort all year round; It's not just like a dangerous peak, increasing your height and setting off your majesty. Even daylight. Even spring rains. No, that's not enough! I must be a kapok near you, standing with you as the image of a tree. Roots, clinging to the ground, leaves, touching in the clouds. We greeted each other with every gust of wind, but no one understood our words. Thou hast thy branches of brass and iron, like knives, like swords, and like halberds, and I have my red blossoms, like heavy sighs, and like gallant torches, and we share in cold waves, and thunderstorms, and thunderbolts; We share the mist and haze, as if forever separated, but we are dependent on each other for life, this is the great love, and the steadfastness is here: not only love your majestic body, but also love the position you insist on, the ground under your feet.
The United States can't go anyway, brother and I, if there is really love, it should be the land under our feet, Brother Sun Ce, come back, I'll wait for you to .......
Yue Di's library work made her very bored, thinking of the singing at every drinking party, she was angry, she wanted to stay away from that ghost place, as for what iron rice bowl, mud rice bowl, wearing straw shoes, wearing leather shoes, how not to live, if you can go back to school to be a substitute teacher, it would be great, but, all this is at least impossible in Mingyue Township, you have to leave here, if you don't go, people will go crazy, but where can you go, Nancheng, go to Nancheng to buy vegetables, go to Nancheng to sing, no, Nancheng is my own sad place, and when I think of it, I feel uncomfortable. Go to Shenzhen or Beijing and Shanghai, but there is no acquaintance, no friend, life is not familiar, eyes are black, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, how to live there, my parents at home are very worried, if she is sick in a hurry, how can she be worthy of her parents? But staying here is worse than going to jail. Go, go resolutely!
She thought that her eldest brother and second brother were in Xinjiang, so she simply went to Xinjiang, and the eldest brother and second brother were reluctant to come back when they arrived in Xinjiang, which means that Xinjiang is a good place. She made up her mind and told her parents, her parents knew that this dead man was a donkey, and it was useless to dissuade her, but it was really a little hard to make up her mind to let the old couple give up the iron rice bowl like the township cultural station, this is a job that many people yearn for, giving up such a job, it is really dizzy, it is really heart-wrenching, and it is heartbreaking!
Yuedi did not wait for the township cultural station to approve her resignation report, she left her job voluntarily, and made all preparations for going to Xinjiang at home. She called and told her eldest brother and second brother about the idea of going to Xinjiang, and her brother and sister-in-law were very happy, and they were all ready to welcome her sister's arrival.
At the beginning of April 2000, Li Yuedi went to Li Yueshan's home in the 2nd Company of the Z Regiment of the N Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. There are many places in Xinjiang that this Sichuan girl did not expect, first, the large area of the Gobi Desert west of Yumen Pass that stretches to Urumqi, and second, after getting off the train, Xinjiang is still cold in spring. The third is: Urumqi to the eldest brother's residence has to take six or seven hundred kilometers of train, fourth, the elder brother's railway station is actually more than 50 kilometers away from the city, which may be the world's farthest railway station, and fifth, the eldest brother's house is still nearly 100 kilometers away from the city, Yue Di initially estimated that there are at least 1,500 kilometers from Xingxing Gorge to the regimental field where the eldest brother is located, and it is really not Xinjiang I don't know how big Xinjiang is. Sixth, the eldest brother's family still lives in an adobe house, and some families in the countryside of his hometown have small western-style houses.
The yard of Li Yueshan's house is very large, there are at least 2 acres of land, five adobe main houses, the middle is a vegetable field, and there are more than a dozen adobe small houses around, and the small houses are mainly sheepfolds, pigsties, and chicken pens, tool rooms, agricultural machinery garages, and production materials warehouses. There are seven or eight sheep, two or three pigs, nearly 100 chickens, ducks and geese, and fifty or sixty rabbits, large and small.
Li Yueshan's family of four, wife Zhao Xiaoli, nine-year-old son Li Lichun, and seven-year-old daughter Li Yuqian. Yuedi's arrival made the family happy from the sky, and the chicken, duck and fish meat for a few days and nights made Li Yuedi a little indigestion and had to eat stomach and digestion tablets. Li Lichun, Li Yuqian's aunt and aunt followed Yue Di to run back and forth, and they were very excited, and their sister-in-law Zhao Xiaoli smiled happily and crooked her mouth, thinking, now it's okay, someone finally has someone to help, and she doesn't have time to catch up with the set every day. My sister is here, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least it's okay to cook a meal once in a while.
The second brother Li Yuehe and the eldest brother are not in a company, in the 15th company planted 130 acres of cotton and more than 60 acres of sugar beet, the two brothers are not far apart, it takes an hour to ride, the eldest brother has been to Xinjiang for a long time, the family has 150 acres of cotton land, 40 acres of grape land, and more than 20 acres of orchards. The conditions at home are better than those of the second brother, so Yuedi lives in the eldest brother's house.
When Yue Di heard the eldest brother introduce her land, she was so surprised that she almost didn't stick out her tongue, the land planted by the eldest brother and the second brother was larger than the area of a production team in her hometown, and she really didn't know how it was planted. There is also what the livestock and poultry in the eldest brother's house are fed, and where is the sister-in-law busy.
On April 15, the company began the spring sowing work, and Yuedi could be regarded as an eye-opener.......
