Chapter 9 Digging Winter Bamboo Shoots
"This matter of Laiwang as a poverty alleviation object can be decided immediately, but the matter of appropriation will not be done for a while. This is about to come to an end of the year, and we also have practical difficulties in the town axe. The relief plan has already been issued, and it is not in accordance with the regulations to get another relief fund out. In addition, the finances are not easy to bookkeeping. "Zhou Qingguo has a good relationship with Zhao Shengcai, and he did not have an official relationship with Zhao Shengcai.
"How's that going to work? People's houses have collapsed, and there are no people living in them, and now they live in a dilapidated temple. Besides, people have suffered such a big disaster, and there is no relief at all, how can you tell them to survive? Zhao Shengcai said.
"Secretary Shengcai, don't embarrass me about this. I have done my best to give your village, Zhao Laiwang, the target of next year's assistance. If you want me to go to the leader and ask for money now, I will definitely not be able to do this. Our Huangshi Town is a poor town, and at the end of the year, the town is also poor. Therefore, it is best for Murakami to find a way to solve this first. Next year, it is said that there will be seconded cadres from the higher levels who will come to the grassroots level to take up temporary posts. These people are all gods of wealth, maybe at that time, the opportunity will be greater. Zhou Qingguo said.
"That's right. Then I'll go back and think about it. But Director Zhou, you have to help me implement this matter. The actual situation of this Laiwang is really difficult, and if this thing is not done well. In the future, it will not be easy to carry out the work in the village. Now the village can't come up with any money, and I'm afraid that I will have to pay out of my own pocket to solve the actual problems of this difficult household. "Zhao Shengcai is really in trouble this time, I don't know how to open this mouth to his mother-in-law after I go back. must take out a sum of money from his mother-in-law, otherwise, if He Biqing pokes this matter out, he will have no good fruit to eat.
"Hehe, thank you, old secretary, if the cadres in all villages can be like you, then our work will be much easier. Don't worry, I'll definitely do it for you. Zhou Qingguo sent Zhao Shengcai to the door. It was the first time for Zhao Shengcai to enjoy such a high salary, and his originally worried mood suddenly relaxed.
If Laiwang knew that Zhao Shengcai was working so hard for him, I don't know if he would be moved. However, Laiwang didn't expect Zhao Shengcai to really get him a poverty alleviation fund. He has been thinking about very complicated life planning.
Laiwang's future planning has two main directions. One is to go to Zhao Dajun and their factory to work. When Zhao Dajun's father was born, Zhao Dajun patted his chest and promised to let Laiwang enter the factory. The second is to manage the family's two acres of land at home, and then do odd jobs nearby, it is best to be able to learn a craft. In fact, Laiwang has a third choice, Laifu's skills are not small, and relying on Laifu to hunt in the stars is also a good choice. But now it's illegal to hunt, and if you do this for a long time, you will end up in a cell sooner or later. Laiwang was worried that he would end up in a prison cell in the future, and he wouldn't even have anyone to deliver food.
There were a lot of ideas, and there were many contradictions in his heart, but he didn't let Laiwang dwell on them for too long, because after thinking about these questions for about thirty minutes, Laiwang had already fallen asleep, and thunderous snoring sounded in the mountain temple.
Laifu, who had been lying in the grass in a strange position, was obviously a little dissatisfied with Laiwang's big movements, it opened its eyes, glanced at Laiwang with a look of sadness and anger, and then got up and took a turn in the mountain temple. The temple was in shambles, and the evidence of yesterday's large meal was still on the ground. Laifu doesn't know when he started, but he has no interest in the meatless bones that are discarded on the ground.
The local saying in the township is good, the dog eats the and the wolf eats the meat, and when the skill is strong, it has to eat the food that matches its identity. Rifle no longer has any interest in bones.
Laifu is a little dissatisfied with Laiwang, a guy who enjoys his success, except for making the food quite delicious, nothing else seems to be good. Looking at Laiwang who was sleeping heavily, Laifu suddenly pounced, opened his small mouth violently at Laifu's buttocks, and bit it hard, but didn't look at Wang's reaction, but ran away.
"Ahh
There was a earth-shattering wail from the mountain temple. Then Laiwangna's slightly deep voice sounded.
"Dog, see if I don't kill you!"
Laiwang didn't realize that this scolding sentence was not a scolding word for Laifu at all.
Laiwang only had time to see a yellow figure jump out of the gate, and then rushed towards the mountains and forests.
Being bitten twice by the same beast in the same part in a row, Laiwang was completely enraged, grabbed something casually and threw it at Laifu's back. But I didn't even touch the hair of Laifu.
Laiwang is obviously not relieved enough, he wants to chase out. But the coldness coming from the ground made Laiwang a little sober, he couldn't be barefoot like a brute. But soon Laiwang tragically discovered that in a fit of rage just now, he threw out one of his only pair of shoes. I don't know if I will be very lucky to fall into a ditch full of water.
Laiwang put on a shoe, jumped out on one leg, and finally found the [***] shoe from the puddle, and Laifu had long since disappeared. Lai Wang naturally didn't think that he could outrun the four-legged brute by running on two legs.
I touched my buttocks, which were still a little painful, with my hands, although I still had anger in my heart, but I was still a little surprised by the accuracy of Laifu's lower mouth, and I bit my buttocks twice, but I didn't leave a wound once.
"It's better not to come back! Otherwise, I'll want you to look good. Laiwang shouted in the direction where Laifu disappeared.
Back at the mountain temple, Laiwang frowned when he saw the chicken bones in a place, he originally wanted Laifu to pick up the bones to eat, but he didn't expect Laifu to eat the bones now, and when he just picked it up, a rice ball can deal with a day is completely different.
After Rifle cleaned the mountain temple, he thought about it carefully, and he didn't even think of anything that could be done. I thought about what to eat for breakfast.
In the countryside, when the farmers are slack, they generally eat two meals a day, and breakfast is eaten late, and it is not uncommon for people like Laiwang to have not eaten until ten o'clock.
Laiwang didn't think about what he could eat at noon. Because unless you eat all the leftover soup in the pot at noon, you can only watch the harvest of Laifu go to the pot. A big living person has to rely on a dog to make a living, which makes Laiwang blush slightly.
"This pheasant can't be eaten for dinner." In this paragraph, Laiwang and Laifu ate a lot of chicken, and Laiwang began to feel sick to his stomach when he smelled the muscles. But what else can you eat without chicken? There are a lot of dishes in other people's homes in winter. There are cabbage, radish, spinach, coriander
But none of these Laiwang families have any. Laiwang's land has always been deserted. The weeds inside can already hide hares.
"What do you have to eat in the mountains in winter?" If you want to eat a little seasonal food in winter, you either take advantage of the evening or eat the mountains by relying on the mountains. This time, Laiwang suffered a disaster, and almost every family in Zhaojiatun said that Laiwang was really a little unable to do it at this time. Therefore, the first and easiest choice to achieve, Laiwang was just a little tempted and gave up directly.
Faced with the only choice, Laiwang scratched his head and thought about it, there seemed to be a lot of wild vegetables in winter. Especially since it hasn't snowed yet, there are still a lot of things to find. The winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest should be delicious in winter, and there are shiitake mushrooms in the mountain forest, which are also very delicious, and there are various wild vegetables.
Laiwang found the hoe from the ruins of the old house from the corner of the wall, then took a snakeskin bag and walked into the woods.
Not far from the mountain temple, there is a bamboo forest. In the past, a large number of people would be turning bamboo shoots in the mountains every day. However, now that young people have gone out to work, this bamboo forest has almost been forgotten by others. Don't look at a large bamboo forest, if you want to dig bamboo shoots from a steep bamboo forest, in addition to having a very good vision, you also need perseverance and physical strength.
Laiwang naturally does not lack vision, and the descendants who grew up in the countryside only need to look at the growth of bamboo to know where to dig up winter bamboo shoots. According to botanists, the nutrient transport of plants is on the same side, so as long as the branches and foliage on the other side of the bamboo are more luxuriant, the chance of digging bamboo shoots on that side is higher. But if you ask a very professional botanist to dig bamboo shoots, you will definitely go home empty-handed.
Due to the steep mountain, the growth of bamboo in the bamboo forest is very irregular, so it takes some experience to find bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest. As long as Laiwang is willing to work hard, digging a few bamboo shoots is no longer a problem.
Climbing the bamboo with his hands and crawling under a bamboo that was most likely to have bamboo shoots, Laiwang only glanced at the soil under the bamboo, then cursed and walked to another place. It can be seen that there is more than one person in that place, and Laiwang came a little late, judging from the bamboo shoot skin left on the ground, the bamboo shoot weighs at least one or two catties. Although there are sometimes surprises to continue to investigate the bottom line along the openings opened by others, Laiwang is not a person who likes to eat leftovers.
In this way, a few hours passed, and Laiwang spent two-thirds of his time on the road looking for bamboo shoots, but his luck was also very good. A few bamboo shoots that had already sprouted were found. In one morning, I even harvested more than 10 catties of bamboo shoots, and according to the market price of 8 yuan a catty, there was almost an income of more than 100 yuan.
Laiwang was not ready to continue, his clothes were already drenched with sweat. Although the strength is much longer than before, digging bamboo shoots is indeed not an easy job.
Laiwang didn't go straight back, but went to the south-facing hillside to pick a piece of wild camellia. Wild vegetables can be found everywhere in the countryside, but people in the countryside are not as fond of them as people in the city. Wild vegetables naturally taste less delicious than grown vegetables. Otherwise, people today would not regard the period of the fifties and sixties of the last century as a kind of suffering.
