When I entered the village, I found that many people were waiting. After getting out of the car, Li Xiangdong introduced his family and several influential people in the village.
The village chief is also in his fifties, and at first glance he is the kind of old scalper type who is immersed in hard work, with a smile like a spring breeze, which gives everyone a very good impression.
Chu Jiaqiang and others shared the snacks and other things they brought over, and let the children of Chujiazhai share them with other children.
There is never a shortage of topics between children and children, and it is easy to get acquainted with each other, and there are no differences in geography, although sometimes the language may not be understood. In addition, there is something to eat, and some even take out the gadgets they bought, and everyone plays together, which makes it easier to get closer to everyone.
"Alright, let's have a cup of tea first!" The village chief spoke.
He simply ordered people to arrange entertainment in Li Xiangdong's big courtyard, and everyone helped move some stools over. Beforehand, they had already boiled a large barrel of good tea, which was brought out at this time.
Chu Jiaqiang was holding a big bowl with two palms, a very authentic big bowl of tea, and he felt very kind. Although they are all rural, they are completely different from Chujiazhai.
It looks so backward as the previous Chujiazhai, and the village is still a yellow mud road, listen to Li Xiangdong. It is also ready to spread cinders on top of it, and then compact, learning from the experience of Chujiazhai. They will have less stone resources here, but there is no shortage of coal resources, and it is easy to find cinders, and the price is cheaper than gravel powder.
Those children looked at the long strings of corn cobs hanging in front of other people's houses, and they felt fresh. Corn is also planted in Chujiazhai every year, which is not an uncommon thing, but it never does this.
In Chujiazhai. Generally, it is the corn that is left to be planted, and the whole corn cob will be dried together. For the rest of the retraction, it is generally necessary to rub the corn and rub it off one by one, so that it is easier to dry.
In the countryside. Rubbing corn is also a big thing, similar to drying grain and wind valley. Now there are special machines for threshing in some places, especially those that are mass-produced, and it is impossible to do it manually.
In Chujiazhai, it is generally on a small wooden board, nail the sole of a liberation shoe, and rub it with the texture of the sole of the liberation shoe. Of course. Two rows were opened in advance with a flathead screwdriver, so that it was much easier for those who rubbed it later. If you break it by hand, it will easily blister, and children are quite afraid.
I saw that the corn cobs were tied to a wooden stick. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a long bunch of ripe bananas, which is a bit spectacular. A child from Chujiazhai secretly asked the local children on the side: "Is this how your corn is placed?" ”
The kid thought for a moment: "A lot of yes, and some of them don't." ”
This is how to dry the sun. In fact, in addition to saving space, it is also easier to dry. And when it rains, it's easy to collect, and two people can go back with their heads on their heads.
Li Xiangdong's parents were extremely enthusiastic about Chu Jiaqiang, Ye Jisheng and others. They also know that their son's current achievements are inseparable from the great help of these people.
Chu Jiaqiang and the others also bought some gifts and came over, Li
Xiangdong's family members have some more practical things, the price is not very expensive, and it is easy for rural people to accept.
"Hmmm! Stop playing, go and help. Li Xiangdong said to his younger siblings. Those two or three guys knew what Chu Jiaqiang brought to them.
The other children took a few sips of tea and ran out to play. Children are people who can't sit down, just like monkeys. When they found out that there was an ox cart here, they ran for someone to take them around.
"Don't run too far! It's time to eat soon! The village chief said to the child who ran out. In addition, he ordered two young men to follow.
Zhou Furong looked at the house, it should be thirty or forty years old, it is relatively old, although the yard is quite large, but the inside is not very spacious. In addition, the interior of the house is pasted with newspapers that were very popular decades ago, and it used to be a fashionable decoration to put newspapers on the walls, but now it looks a little weird.
"Boss, you're an antique in this house!" Zhou Furong said.
"Then you can help me see how much it's worth, pack it and sell it to you, anyway, I'm going to build a house next year." Li Xiangdong joked.
"The house is still settled, but the teapot inside seems to be worth some money, take it out and show me." Zhou Furong noticed an old teapot in someone's house just now, with eight corners, which was very peculiar.
Chu Jiaqiang and the others rolled their eyes, this guy's occupational disease came again. Zhou Furong looked at the teapot carefully for a while and found that it was only a work of the late Qing Dynasty, and the history was not very long. But the peculiar shape, coupled with the different patterns on the body of the pot, immediately concluded that this thing was not a domestic product.
Ignoring that guy, Chu Jiaqiang and the others were chatting by themselves, they had long realized that once that guy took a serious look at antiques, it would be very boring.
After Li Xiangdong came back, his family also gave himself a blind date and prepared to get married next year. Therefore, the reconstruction of the house is also on the agenda. Now, although the family still owes Chu Jiaqiang and others money, it can be regarded as a wealthy family in the village, and it is not so troublesome to build a house.
"Boss, where's my sister-in-law? Why don't you call over? We've come all the way, is it easy? Ye Jisheng said.
"It's coming soon, and I called her just now!" Li Xiangdong said. The woman is a primary school teacher, in the next village, from a normal university, in the words of her parents, and she is a good person.
"Build a house, do you have enough money?" Chu Jiaqiang asked. No matter where you are, building a house is a big deal, it costs a lot of money, and many people may have saved up for most of their lives, and after building a house, they will immediately return to the pre-liberation period.
"Don't worry! It doesn't cost a lot of money. However, it may be delayed to return it to you. Li Xiangdong waved his hand and said.
The village chief helped arrange all kinds of things, asked everyone to set up a stove on the side, invited the idle people in the village to come over, helped with cooking, and so on. The whole village was lively, and even the surrounding villages were alarmed.
Since Li Xiangdong came back, he has engaged in winter vegetable planting, doubling the village's income, but they can't be envious. Here, they have been farming for generations, and they have mixed food and clothing all year round, and they can't accumulate too much wealth. Some families with many children may be more embarrassed, and children's education has become a problem.
The little guy who went out complained that there was no commissary in this village, and if he wanted to eat a popsicle or ice cream, he had to go to the big village three kilometers away next door. The two young men, driving the ox carts, led the way in front and waited on the little ones. They feel that these children are too good, and they are richer than themselves.
