Adding fertilizer to corn is a meticulous job, and the manure from the house is carried to the ground, and little by little it is added to the position of ten centimeters at the root of the corn. Generally, the soil manure at home is definitely not enough, so with some chemical fertilizer, the method of adding is the same. So everyone in the family went to the field, even Li Jun.

When Zhang Xiaoqiang saw this, she had no choice but not to go to the field, and she also went with her family. It's the middle of August, the sun is still very hot, I wear a straw hat and a towel around my neck.

She and Li Jun added fertilizer together, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law covered the soil. kept bending over, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that her waist was about to break, the fishy smell of soil and feces in the ground mixed with the amine smell of fertilizer, and her throat kept retching.

Zhang Xiaoqiang told herself, persevere, in a few days, you can get rid of such days.

When the sun set, the work was almost done, Li Dabiao took a hoe, looked at the corn seedlings growing well in his own field and said: "You can divert water for irrigation tomorrow, and after this irrigation, the joints will grow." As a farmer, in his eyes, only when the crops grow well can there be hope for life.

Zhang Xiaoqiang took the kettle and handed it to her father-in-law and said, "Dad, come and drink some water." Now that the fields can be irrigated, your heart is steady. We farmers are pitiful, facing the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives. ”

Li Jun said: "I must be admitted to the university and learn more knowledge, maybe the farmers in the future will not have to work so hard, and they can operate mechanized." ”

Li Dabiao liked this little son very much, and he showed an appreciative expression and said, "Boy, it's up to you whether you can live a good life in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Dad, aren't there still me and Aobai?" He is also an officer in the army now, and I am also in business, and I have money, but I am still worried about having a good life? ”

When Li Dabiao heard this, he seemed to have something on his mind, he didn't speak, his eyes just looked at the end of the responsibility field.

Shen Cuihua called out to Li Xiangxiang and said, "Xiang girl, go home!" "This Li Xiangxiang can be regarded as coming to the field. I just didn't work, I didn't add much fertilizer for most of the day, and I kept saying: "Farming, farming." I only know how to farm, I must marry someone from the city, and never farm again. ”

After packing up the tools in the field, the family carried the tools home.

The matter of cooking is still Zhang Xiaoqiang's business. The others sat in the courtyard as if they hadn't eaten.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoqiang was also very tired, but she knew that the cooking at home had always been hers, and she went into the kitchen without much rest. There were some potatoes, green onions, and nothing else in the kitchen. There is still some rice in the rice bag, and I am busy at home these days, and I am also a little absent-minded.

Li Jun walked in, scooped a scoop of cold water in the water tank, and poured it into his mouth. Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly stopped it, but didn't stop it. She blamed and said: "You baby, what is the heat when you just come back, don't dare to drink cold water like this, you will get sick." ”

"It's okay, Sister Xiaoqiang, it's okay to drink the water in this old well in our village, I'm dying of hunger, what are you cooking?" Li Jun said.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Li Jun: "Let's cook rice." ”

Li Jun squatted down, helped to light a fire, add water, and started to fight. This child is kind and kind. It's a good baby.

Zhang Xiaoqiang scooped half a pot of rice, picked up the sand grains in it a few times, and washed it with water several times, but the rice water was not poured out. Instead, it's reserved for washing dishes.

After the water in the pot boiled, the rice was poured in and stirred vigorously. After boiling for more than ten minutes, the rice was fished out with a fence.

Wash a few potatoes, peel them and cut them into small pieces. Slice the green onion and garlic into foam and set aside in a small bowl. Use a large pot to scoop out the rice broth from the pot.

Then wipe the pan dry. Pour the oil, the onion and garlic foam into the pot, and a fragrance full of appetite comes up. Put all the potato cubes in the pot and simmer for a while, and the surface is covered with a layer of golden brown. Then pour some soy sauce, add salt, peppercorns, and monosodium glutamate and mix well.

Zhang Xiaoqiang made the fire in the stove smaller, and then added a small half scoop of boiling water to the pot, so that the potatoes stewed for a while.

Finally, pour the rice on top of the potatoes, cover the pot, and start to simmer over low heat.

It's been more than 20 minutes, and it's estimated that the time is almost up. The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, the fragrance overflowed, and Li Jun said, "Sister Xiaoqiang, what kind of rice is this, so fragrant?" ”

"Potato pot barmi!" Zhang Xiaoqiang is also the first time to cook this meal, when she was wandering, she has seen this kind of rice, it is very delicious.

With the imagination of impressions, I actually made this happen.

The family gathered around the mill in the courtyard, and one of them took a bowl and ate it. Li Dabiao ate too fast and was choked several times, Zhang Xiaoqiang scooped a bowl of rice soup, and her father-in-law didn't say anything, thinking that this daughter-in-law had eyes. Especially when it comes to cooking, no matter how simple the meal is, it makes it very flavorful as soon as she cooks it.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Li Dabiao: "Dad, I want to go to the county seat, you see that as soon as this fertilizer is added, the work at home will be basically over." It's been more than 10 months since the farm is busy, and I have to find a way to make some money. Look at the people in our village, all the people with a little more brains have gone out to earn money, and you can see that all the tractors have been bought three or four. ”

Of course, Li Dabiao saw that the situation was very good, and the people who bought tractors in the village were all people who had tasted the sweetness.

He nodded in agreement, and finally he said, "You must be cautious in your business, we can't afford to lose what we earn." ”

Every time Zhang Xiaoqiang goes out, as long as she gets the consent of her father-in-law, other people's opinions are not considered.

After cleaning up in the evening, Zhang Xiaoqiang rested early.

In the morning, I got up early in the morning because I had to hurry. I ate some leftovers, which I ate with boiling water soaked in last night's rice.

The road was not too hot, because the admission letter arrived safely, this time there was no pressure and burden in my heart, and I walked freely all the way, humming songs as I walked.

The county seat is not deserted because of the heat, and the people are still bustling. Sunday happens to be the day of the market in the county.

In the market, there are all kinds of people, so the walk is very slow.

When I was near the end, I saw the middle-aged man I met last time. In front of him were a few freshly harvested furs, mostly dog skins, sheepskins, cowhides, horse skins, and so on.

The middle-aged man still had some impressions of Zhang Xiaoqiang, and when he saw her, he said, "Woman, you're here." You have the goods in hand, I see you consulted last time. If you have a spot in hand, we can cooperate, and I won't treat you badly in terms of price, so you can rest assured. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang opened the fur and looked at it, and a bad and pungent smell went straight into the nasal cavity, making people a little unbearable. (To be continued.) )
