Chapter 0009 Fishing in Troubled Waters
Zhao Weidong and his father rode back on a bicycle together, along the way he thought that his father died of cerebral hemorrhage because of long-term hypertension in his last life, and it is estimated that he has not gotten it yet, in Zhao Weidong's memory, his father was in his fifties before he found out that he had hypertension, which was already more serious at that time, and could not be cured, and then the condition further aggravated with age, and finally died of cerebral hemorrhage at the age of less than seventy, and now Zhao Weidong will never allow misfortune to happen again. Zhao Weidong asked while riding the bike:
"Dad, how are you doing?"
"Boy, how can you care about your Lao Tzu's body today, it's not bad and quite filial, it's commendable."
I didn't expect my father to joke with myself, it seems that Zhao Weidong has shocked my father enough in the past few days, and my father is slowly getting used to not being serious in front of his son to maintain his father's dignity, and he speaks casually in front of his son.
"Dad, I'm caring about you, not joking with you, yesterday I went to the health center with my mother to see a doctor, it can be said that it eliminated a hidden danger that may develop into cancer, as long as my mother takes medicine according to the doctor's requirements, her stomach problem will be completely cured in half a month. Dad also hopes that you can pay attention to health problems, treat minor illnesses early, have regular physical examinations, and focus on checking blood pressure problems. ”
"Son, why are you so serious?"
"Dad, I hope that my suggestions will be taken seriously by you, and I also know that you are busy with work, I hope that you can go to the health center for a physical examination within a week after you go back, please Dad must not forget."
"Well, I'll definitely go for a physical check-up."
"Dad, there is one thing you have to pay attention to, about the purchase of agricultural and sideline products, I have already organized, it is estimated that the first batch will arrive in five days, you see that the purchase site must be ready, and the transfer should also be prepared in advance, and the purchase funds should also be prepared, so as to avoid a passive situation."
"Well, you've got an organized acquisition? How did you organize it? ”
"That's the case, I mobilized the whole class to do it, and the students of each brigade formed a group, which was responsible for publicizing and mobilizing the relatives, friends and members of the brigade to cut down four varieties of products, one is pine, the second is moso bamboo, the third is small yellow bamboo, and the fourth is ploughwood; At present, these four varieties are made. ”
"Well, you really should be prepared, just prepared. In addition, when we go home later, we will dig a bunch of ground to prepare for planting water spinach, and I will dig a bunch of ground with you. ”
"No problem, I'll leave it all to me, I'll do it alone. In addition, my father has to draw up a contract when he goes back, I will contract all the acquisition tasks of the supply and marketing cooperative, and guarantee that the excess is more than 300%, and the supply and marketing cooperatives must ensure that they only purchase the products of my organization, and the purchase money can only be settled with me. ”
"If you have the ability to complete more than 300% of the company's quota according to the standard conditions of acquisition, the company will agree to any conditions you have, that is, if you can complete the quota task, the company will sign with you, can you really complete it? This is no joke, I have been in charge of the supply and marketing cooperatives for almost three years, and I have not been able to complete the acquisition task in one year. ”
"Dad, I promise."
"If you are confident, I will let the business organizer of the supply and marketing cooperatives sign a contract with you when I go back."
It was only half past four o'clock when he returned home, and Zhao Weidong asked his father to go back to the unit to see if there was any urgent work to deal with to avoid being put on hold. Dad knew that Erqi Di had to be dug and sorted out in one night, and there was still a lot of work, but at Zhao Weidong's insistence, Dad hurriedly walked to the unit.
Zhao Weidong picked up a hoe and a triangular rake and walked out of the house, walking along the small streets of the commune towards the highway, although it was the first time to go to the vegetable field after crossing, but the memory of planting vegetables in his previous life was still very clear. Zhao Weidong went straight to a vegetable field on the right side of the road, which is composed of a large hill field and two small hill fields, a large hill field has three large vegetable fields, a small hill field has two small vegetable fields, and a small hill field has only one small vegetable field, a total of about three vegetable fields. The whole vegetable field, except for the two large vegetable fields, is an open space for potatoes. The rest of the four fields are full of vegetables, a small field is planted with leeks, a small field is planted with green onions, a small field is planted with peppers, a large field is divided into two fields, a garden of eggplant, a garden of tomatoes, the growth is vigorous, the fruit is abundant, the vegetable field is surrounded by bamboo and straw rope to form a sparse net crawling with melon vines, and there are scattered melons of different sizes dotted among them.
Today to dig is the two big vegetable fields in the big hill field, by the outside two furrows, Zhao Weidong to the vegetable field to think of the habit in memory, first put the hoe and the triangular rake together in the roadside ditch to soak a bubble, it is not easy to take off the handle when digging the ground, after soaking for a few minutes, Zhao Weidong picked up the hoe and began to dig the ground, at first because the memory of digging the ground felt too far away, and it was not very coordinated for a while, so it was more laborious, the sweat came out all of a sudden, Zhao Weidong stopped, took off his shirt, and continued to dig the ground shirtless, Slowly Zhao Weidong gradually found the feeling of digging the ground, the strength in his hand entered the ground through the hoe blade, digging the ground slowly relaxed, it didn't feel strenuous, and the action of digging the ground gradually became rhythmic, soon half an hour to dig a long furrow, Zhao Weidong put down the hoe and sat on the hoe handle to rest for a while, recover his strength, after five or six minutes Zhao Weidong felt almost, and then began to dig the second furrow.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Weidong dug the second furrow, dug the ground and did not rest to pick up the triangular rake and start to prepare the land, the purpose of the land preparation is to break the large pieces of soil, rake the ditch soil to the furrow surface and level the furrow surface, after leveling, dig out rows of planting holes according to the need to plant vegetables, so that the work of digging the ground is completed. Zhao Weidong went to the ditch and picked up a hoe and a triangular rake and washed them in water, and after washing them all, he washed his hands and feet and took his clothes and went home.
Zhao Weidong walked for a while, looked up and saw that the sky was still very bright, and it was about half past five now, and there was still more than an hour before it got dark, so he simply went to the river to take a bath. So Zhao Weidong walked off the road and walked to a deep pool leading to a relatively deep river, the river of Hexi Commune is a small river, and the deepest part of the river is more than two meters deep. Zhao Weidong walked towards that section of the river at this time, and a road led there, on the strange and familiar path, there were many unknown flowers and grasses on both sides, and they were smiling to welcome their arrival, you see how sweet it smiled; You see, the leaves fluttering in the breeze, is it dancing, but also welcoming itself?
At this time, it is the harvest season, it is the time of early rice harvest, in the endless sea of rice, the farmer brothers, uncles, uncles are nervously harvesting the rice, the yellow and clear grains of full grain, bent over with a smile in the breeze, the sound of the rice waves in the rice sea, the sound of the threshing machine in Zhao Weidong's ears, the sound of the sickle cutting the rice, the screams of the children, the laughter of the adults resounded together, all of which constituted a symphony of "Harvest", which is pleasant to the ear.
Seeing this beautiful scenery and hearing the pleasant sound, Zhao Weidong was a little addicted to it, and unconsciously came to the waterhole, he took off the sandals under his feet, and stepped on the sand heated by the sun, which seemed so warm, and he was able to relive the warm and happy times of his childhood again.
Zhao Weidong was not good at swimming at this time in his previous life, and he only learned to swim at this age, and he also learned it in this river pool. That time, a group of classmates and friends, also in this holiday, in order to reflect everyone's boldness, everyone unanimously proposed to swim in this deepest place, everyone began to play in the shallows, while playing a game of hide and seek, while learning to swim in a dog rake style, but they have not been able to learn, and finally in the game of hide and seek was forced into the deep pool, and rushed out, paddling quickly with both hands, but I didn't expect to row through the deepest part of the race, swim over by myself, and finally know how to swim.
In the previous life, he hadn't learned to swim today, and he arrived with skilled swimming skills, all of this is not a problem, Zhao Weidong slowly walked to the depths, and there was no fear of going to this deep pool for the first time, the water gradually did not pass over his head, he was still walking slowly, walking, and walking out of his head to show his head, it was shallow, like the feeling of a swimming pool. Zhao Weidong swam back and forth a few times quickly, but because the place was too small, he had no interest in swimming. Zhao Weidong remembers that there were a lot of fish at this time, just like when he was a child, how about touching the fish to see? He took a breath, and dived to the bottom of the water, found a big stone with both hands and smashed another stone at the bottom of the water more than a dozen times, shaking his ears a little painfully, through this can scare the fish to hide in the stone crevice, and then dive into the water to touch the fish in the stone crevice, I didn't expect the effect to be really good, every two dives on average once can touch the fish, more than half an hour to touch a dozen fish, the largest touch a more than half a pound of fish, and touch about one or two more than five sharks, There are also six unknown fish with two fingers.
It is true that there are many fish in the river during this period, and Zhao Weidong immediately thought of one thing, which was before the summer harvest a year ago, the militia trained to shoot targets, Zhao Weidong's group of friends, very curious about bullets, and the finger bullets were not available, so they followed the militia to the shooting range, and asked the militia uncle to refer to the bullet shell, which was all copper, and the militia of Hexi Commune still used the Japanese 38 rifle, and the finger bullet shell was to be withdrawn and handed in at the end of the training, so he could only ask the militia uncle, everyone could get one or two, and wait for the militia to leaveZhao Weidong passed by the river on the way home, and there was a dock for washing vegetables and clothes, so he took the hoe full of mud to the river to clean, but he looked into the river, and saw a large group of fish grabbing the rice at the bottom of the river. Then some of the fish sank to the bottom of the water, some floated to the surface, he looked up, it turned out that the militia trained to use rifles to shoot fish, several militiamen took a basin to the river to pick fish, and soon picked up a basin, which shows how many fish in the river at that time, only one shot, so many fish were killed.
