Chapter 3 Simple Greenhouse
This year is 1992 A.D., after China in this era has experienced a series of turmoil, the national policy of reform and opening up has been completely decided after the old man's southern tour, the core of the new generation of leadership has also been established, and the leaders of the older generation have actively and passively retreated.
The self-employed, a once disgraceful new thing, has now become the target of people's envy, envy and hatred. 10,000 yuan households can also be justified, blatantly and loudly proclaimed, and there is no need to worry about being separated from the tail. As a result, the local tyrants began to run rampant!
The civil servants in the city have all gone to the sea to pan for gold, and there is a lot of talk about how to build missiles as well as selling tea and eggs, and even the one in the village who was born in the 76 earthquake had a head injury and was a little inadequate.
Despite this, eating public meals is still superior in the eyes of rural people, even if many people live a much more nourished life than those government workers after 20 years, everyone's concept is still the same.
However, it is not so easy to become a public family. For ordinary peasant children, the only way is to go to school! By going to school, being admitted to a good school, and then assigning a good job, at least you can get a worker status and a city hukou, but you can eat labor insurance in a bright and bright way.
At that time, the gap between urban and rural areas was a chasm, and if you want to cross it, it is definitely not as simple as buying a house after more than 20 years, having a fixed address, and easily moving your hukou to the city and becoming a city person. Its difficulty is no less than that of the Beijing household registration that later generations of Beipiao want to do.
Of course, 20 years later, the urban hukou is no longer popular, because the state and the whole society have attached great importance to it, and they have begun to feed agriculture in all aspects, and the rural hukou is not bad at all compared with the urban hukou.
Twenty years later, the policies that rural people envied were the envy of those who could only enjoy the hukou in the city, such as being discharged from the army and arranging a job, and having no job and receiving relief money.
Because, at that time, it was easy to find a job after being discharged from the army, as long as you didn't pick it, you didn't have to worry about it. As for the old Baojin rural people, there are also them, but there are fewer of them. But don't forget, rural people have land?
No matter how the world changes, only the land is in hand, no matter how starving no matter how you starve, right? The family has a few acres of land, which is the biggest back road and security.
But these have nothing to do with Wang Wei, and he doesn't care about thinking about these things, what he has a headache now is how to raise all the materials needed to build a greenhouse.
Not to mention anything else, the plastic film necessary for greenhouses is not enough to find in the countryside in this era. Even ordinary plastic sheeting is a precious thing, and it is impossible for him to use it at home.
"Brother, how can we build that shed that can grow vegetables in winter?"
Wang Liang looked up at his brother with his little head up, looking forward to it. Especially after his brother promised him that he would leave him a place to plant a few tomatoes and cucumber seedlings.
At the thought of being able to eat persimmons and cucumbers that are much more delicious than cabbage and potatoes, the corners of this little kid's mouth unconsciously left a hara, and he didn't wipe them clean after wiping them several times.
"Hey! How do you cover something that is missing? There is nothing, what shall we use to build a greenhouse? ”
"Missing something? What's missing? ”
"Everything else is easy to say, and it's okay to make do with it, but you can't do it without plastic sheeting! The most important thing in this matter! I have it at home, but my parents will definitely not give it to us. ”
"Well, that's when it's raining."
Wang Liang followed his brother to start worrying, but in the end he was still young, and within a few minutes, he left all his troubles behind, ran to the yard and took a sorghum pole as a sword to slash and kill the imaginary "enemy", full of energy!
Wang Yong looked at his younger brother, who was very energetic, and was very speechless. I got tired of looking at it, got up and went back to the house, climbed onto the kang, and lay on my back and looked at the beams of the roof in a daze.
"Brother, brother!"
There was a younger brother's excited voice in the courtyard, and Wang Yong, who was annoyed, replied angrily: "What are you doing?" ”
"There you have, there you have it!"
Before Wang Yong could understand what his brother meant, he heard a rush of footsteps. Then Wang Liang ran in, holding a ball of white things in his hand.
"Brother, look, look, look, plastic sheeting!"
Wang Yong had already seen the ball of plastic film in his brother's hand. Wang Wei rolled his eyes when he saw it, how could this thing be used to build a greenhouse?
This kind of plastic film is used to keep the greenhouse warm in order to prevent frostbite from the early vegetables planted in early spring. Isn't it just right to use it to build a greenhouse?
In fact, it is not, first of all, this thing is too thin, and it will break when you poke it, so it is not used at all. Besides, the width of this thing is not enough, generally speaking, it is only a little more than a meter wide, how can you build a greenhouse so narrow?
Seeing that his brother didn't take care of himself, Wang Liang was very aggrieved. I found a plastic sheet, I can build a greenhouse, why is my brother not happy at all?
"Hey! This thing is too narrow and too thin! ”
"Does that work?"
Wang Liang looked expectant, and let Wang Yong swallow the deflating words that had just come to his mouth. Forget it, let's make do with it. Anyway, you can't build a regular greenhouse like the one in later generations, that's unrealistic.
It's just a simple greenhouse, are you too strict? Forget it, just play with my brother, just try it with mulch, it's good to become, and there's no loss if you don't succeed, right?
The supporting shelves are made of bamboo poles for cucumbers at home, and the greenhouse film is covered with mulch. Mulch film is a disposable, whether it is to grow vegetables or peanuts.
Just go out and take a turn, and you can find a lot of abandoned things, but there are big and small, long and short, and there are no norms. But for Wang Yong, who has no money in his hand, he can only make do with it.
After deciding to replace the greenhouse film with mulch, Wang Yong didn't need to go outside to find it, and his younger brother led him to the place where the mulch film was found.
Now it's okay, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! Wang Yong rolled up his arms and sleeves, and led his younger brother Wang Liang, who was more excited than him, to get busy.
First of all, a range was determined, and there were not many bamboo poles at home, which determined how big this greenhouse could not be. The main thing is to come with the unseemly leeks that have been frozen, and the rest of the place is as big as it is.
Because there is a courtyard wall between the neighbors near the east side, Wang Yong's big deal is saved. The brothers found more than a dozen stalks of sunflowers that came from three meters in size, and each one was the thickness of his brother's wrist.
One end is placed on the head of a wall less than two meters, and the other end is inserted into the ground of his own yard. After placing five sunflower stalks less than a meter apart, there was no more place.
Although the other side is not finished, because a pit was dug, half of the pit was filled with oil powder (a kind of thing left after starch filtration after crushing sweet potatoes, which can also be eaten).
Then the two brothers moved the bundle of bamboo poles from the shed (storage room) on the west side of the yard, and Wang Yong stepped on a stool to put the bamboo poles on the sunflower poles, and then tied them with ropes to fix them.
After more than an hour of busy work, the brothers were sweating profusely, and finally completed an ugly shelf that was less than two meters high, less than five meters long, and more than two meters wide.
"That's it! All that's left is to cover the mulch! ”
Wang Yong wiped his sweat and said with a puff, his tone was very proud. Dude is so talented, just with such a simple thing to make a greenhouse?
At this time, greenhouses are rare in the local area, not to mention seeing them, it is estimated that ordinary farmers have never heard of them. This thing was definitely high-tech, high-tech in '92.
"Brother, is there still a mulch that hasn't been covered?"
Wang Liang's body sweats more than his brother, after all, he is too young, and he wears a lot today, the sky is fine, the sun is big, the wind is small, and his face is full of sweat beads.
"Let's go back to the house and rest for a while."
Although Wang Yong has never looked down on this younger brother on his lips, he is extremely distressed by his younger brother in his heart, sweating profusely, if he doesn't dry him, it will be troublesome in case he catches a cold.
When he arrived at the house, Wang Yong first took a handkerchief (towel) to wipe the sweat off his forehead and face for his younger brother. Looking at him and his tired, still energetic appearance, I couldn't help but wonder: Is he already old?
After resting for half an hour and pouring a stomach of cold water, Wang Yong took his younger brother to the yard, tried to find the long mulch, put one end on the wall, pulled the other end to the shelf, and buried it with soil.
And so it goes, one after the other, and finally there are only two sides left.
"Liang, let's go to those bamboo poles again."
"Hey!"
Wang Liang happily agreed, ran away and hugged a few bamboo poles back to his brother. Then I watched Wang Yong insert two bamboo poles on both sides of the shelf covered with mulch.
"Isn't there mulch here?"
"Mon! You go get some. ”
"Hmm!"
It was another half an hour, and the whole greenhouse was completed. Although from the outside, this thing is really simple and excessive, and it can't even be called a greenhouse in the eyes of other people's professional knowledge, but Wang Yong knows that he has done his best.
No matter what, in half a day, the two brothers were able to come up with such a thing, which is enough to be proud. If this thing really works, when the vegetables inside grow, I think that in the winter, not only can I eat fresh vegetables at home, but maybe I can sell some to subsidize the family!
The money is vast! How much does it cost to sell fresh vegetables in winter? One or two? Anyway, it can't be sold cheaply! This is what our brothers have spent a lot of effort on, and I'm sorry for the sweat beads I shed if I don't sell much?
Looking at the greenhouse that I spent a lot of effort to build, my heart is beautiful! As for the credit of his younger brother, he is so young, what can he do? At most, it's just a fight, what credit can it have?
Ay! No, it seems that there is something missing?
