Chapter 194: The Storm After the Great Harvest

Luo Zhengfen was reluctant to go home, saying that he wanted Kong Xiaohan to send off the pension to the end, which was obviously impossible, Kong Mingfu didn't know what to think, anyway, after sending Luo Zhenghong and Luo Zhengfang, who were a little embarrassed and guilty, away the next day, he didn't mention letting his children pick up Luo Zhengfen again, but the next morning, he gave Kong Xingjiang 200 yuan, saying that when he passed by Kong Xiaohan's door after selling vegetables in the afternoon, he would take it to Kong Xiaohan, saying that he would let Kong Xiaohan hand it over to her father-in-law.

Although Kong Mingfu didn't say it explicitly, after knowing that Kong Mingfu asked Kong Xingjiang to bring money, everyone guessed that Kong Mingfu didn't plan to take Luo Zhengfen back in the near future, otherwise why worry about Kong Xiaohan being embarrassed, and pay the 200 yuan that should be regarded as living expenses.

Let my grandmother go and see the family's faces, I can't say that I can understand the good of the family, Yu Mingyue thought so, so she didn't persuade Kong Mingfu again, and the other people actually probably had this thought, so they didn't go to Kong Mingfu to persuade again, but just comforted Kong Mingfu a few words.

But for Luo Zhengfen's matter, the mood of the two families is not good, but no matter how bad the mood is, the money still has to earn and eat, Yu Mingyue also goes to school every day as usual, except that the mood is not beautiful, she still lives as usual.

Time in a blink of an eye, to the end of September, the weather is getting cooler day by day, the village people after the autumn harvest of the mountain paddy field dry field are planted with a season of wheat, Yu Mingyue these three families are different, in addition to the mountain or let Wang Changzheng and Liu Xuegao two families help plant wheat, the paddy field and dry field of rice are planted with cabbage, radish, lotus white and other vegetables in winter, and some fields are left, ready to be a month later, plant early corn, early four seasons beans and cowpeas and other vegetables sold in early spring.

It is not without reason that they dare to plant so many vegetables in the winter and autumn without rain, because in just over this month, in addition to repairing the planned pools, the three families have also dug two pools with a large capacity to store dozens of cubic meters of water in the wasteland above the dry field at home.

Although it is the dry land of the three families, but they are also more or less next to these two places, digging these two pools is also enough, bought some water pipes and two joints back, from the original mountain water back from the supervisor took out the pipe, with the water pipe buried to the edge of the pool, even if the ditch does not open the reservoir, there is a lot of rain in winter, but in the winter the water for vegetables in the dry field is not worried.

In fact, according to Yu Mingyue's idea, it is best to plant fruit trees in the mountains and dry fields, anyway, these fields can't make much money a year, whether it is growing grain or vegetables, and it is very troublesome and trivial, and it is not as convenient and money as making a fruit garden, but now she has a lack of fruit seedlings in her hands, and second, there are not so many fruit seedlings planted on the wasteland around the house, so she didn't mention this stubble.

Besides, Yu Mingyue also has a heart, knowing that the land where the family has contracted to the household has already planted fruit trees, and it is all their own land that can't run, and now if they plant trees in the field with great fanfare, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not let people with eyes find out the benefits of planting fruit trees, and the villagers will follow the small matter of planting trees in the field, and if there are people who have a heart to pay attention to her family, and find that her family is planting trees on a large number of wasteland, it will not be good to follow her family to plant wasteland or go to the township government to file a complaint, so Yu Mingyue does not want to startle the snake.

When the three of them put the wasteland on the number, and then someone planted or went to complain, her family is not afraid, if the wasteland occupied by the township wants to take care of it, it is a big deal that the three of them spend some money to pay more agricultural taxes on those lands, which is an example in the previous life, in the previous life, there were also new houses in the village to build houses or open wasteland on the mountains, after being sued to the village by some little stinky dogs, Tang Fugui also let those who occupied more land pay more agricultural taxes, she still remembers something.

As for the money, Tang Fugui didn't hand it over, Yu Mingyue didn't know, but she was not afraid that Tang Fugui would target her family now, anyway, if Tang Fugui grabbed her family's tail, her family would go directly to the township to hand over the money, and now the deputy head of Daping Township, who is mainly engaged in agricultural economy, is also familiar with her family, and there are people above who are easy to do, Tang Fugui can't help her family at all.

Yu Mingyue is very busy now, not only has to run to school every day, go home at noon and afternoon every day, but also have to help the adults collect the fruits and mountain goods sent by the villagers.

Cone chestnut fruit and wild persimmon are 2 jiao a catty is not expensive, but fresh pine nuts are 5 jiao a catty, sun-dried 7 jiao a catty, this price is more expensive than the vegetables of the Spring Festival, not only the villagers of Caiyun Village are colored to sell, those mountain villagers who live in the nearby mountains picked up, but also Baba's back to sell.

But now it's not just her family that is collecting these, even the village chief Tang Fugui and Tang Wanfang's family are also collecting it, but one is that her family lives on the side of this highway to facilitate people to sell goods, and the other is that her family has someone to buy at home at any time, and others come to one quasi, and her family will only give more and not less when calculating money, so everyone loves to sell goods to her family.

So in order to make it convenient for people to sell goods, her family also has to receive the goods at noon, but there are fewer people who come at noon, and her mother and children can also receive it, but in the afternoon, it is so lively outside the gate, she doesn't have to help cook, she has to take two younger brothers to help at the gate, so she can be busy.

Pine nuts and cone chestnuts are okay, directly bagged enough for a car, her father will pull to the district purchase station to sell once, but the wild persimmons are recovered, and they have to be dried with a dustpan sieve for a few days that night, but fortunately, they don't have to be harvested when the weather is fine at night, and they are directly placed in the yard 'dew', which is actually the meaning of letting the wild persimmons frost.

Big and small things together, Yu Mingyue's family is really busy every day.

In addition to being so busy every day, on weekends, Yu Mingyue also had to take dozens of students of different ages from Caiyun Village to the mountains to pick these three kinds of wild fruits.

However, this year's autumn picking, Yu Mingyue is still a little worried, why, in fact, there are too many children and villagers who go up to the mountains to pick fruits, which has caused her to reduce her harvest this year.

Last autumn, Yu Mingyue's trouble was that the space was full and there was no place for these fruits, and this year, Yu Mingyue had a rented courtyard on the edge of the city, so she was not worried about having no place to pile things, and when she was distressed now, the space was not satisfied for several weeks.

Originally, Yu Mingyue still wanted to be beautiful, and was ready to use the space to pick more fruits this autumn and make a big windfall, but although she did pick more fruits than last year, but seeing that in October, there were fewer and fewer pine nuts and other fruits on the mountain, and she rented two warehouses in the small courtyard in the district and city, even if she was afraid that the fruits would be mildew, she didn't dare to pile them, but most of them were not full.

However, Yu Mingyue was only so distressed when she was bored, after all, just by collecting the fruits of the villagers and children, the three of them had already made a windfall.

In less than two months, just by reselling these three kinds of wild fruits produced in the mountains, the three of them had already shared more than 2,700 yuan, thinking that the adults of the three families were staring at each other after hearing this number, Yu Mingyue was still a little proud.

Luo Zhengfen still lives in Kong Xiaohan's house on the outskirts of the district, and the rest of these adults are not shallow-eyed, and no one has the idea of beating the children with this huge amount of money, and although Kong Xinggang is a food protector, but since he had his rabbit partnership to divide the money, the 2,700 yuan he got from selling fruits this time didn't need Yu Mingyue to remind him, he generously gave 300 yuan each to Kong Xiaolan and Kong Xiaoju, who were working hard at home, and originally wanted to share Kong Xingjiang's 300. But Kong Xingjiang took it in his hand and looked at it, so he returned it to Kong Xinggang with a smile, and Kong Xinggang, who was a little distressed because he had originally divided a large amount of property, was very happy.

Afterwards, Kong Xiaolan came to Yu Mingyue's house and told Yu Mingyue and Kong Xiaoyu about the painful appearance when Kong Xinggang divided the money between their three brothers and sisters, Yu Mingyue and Kong Xiaoyu also laughed at Kong Xing for a while, until Kong Xinggang was a little annoyed with a thin face, Yu Mingyue let go of this uncle who was born with a little stinginess.

is so busy every day, but he also earns a lot of money into his pocket, and the mood of the two families affected by Luo Zhengfen's running away from home is not as bad as at the beginning, Yu Zhiqing and Kong Xingjiang will buy a few catties of meat and sugar every few days when they turn around, they will also buy a few catties of meat and sugar or something to Kong Xiaohang's house to see the situation.

In mid-September, when Yu Zhihui, who had finished planting, was going to help in her snack shop, it happened to be the weekend, and the two points of ping-pong grapes planted in the vegetable field were ripe in large quantities.

So early on Saturday morning, Yu Mingyue took the 4 baskets of grapes that were only cooked from the grape field at dawn, and followed them into the city, passing by the door of Kong Xiaohan's house, thinking that the family was afraid that they would go down to the ground, so they didn't stop, so they went directly into the district and city, and sent three baskets of grapes to the three old ladies' houses. When he turned around, he got a basket of grapes and a few catties of more than six catties of pork knuckle meat bought back from the butcher shop on Changshou Road, and went to Kong Xiaohan's house to visit Luo Zhengfen.

Seeing Luo Zhengfen sitting in the courtyard and showing off her shoes with Kong Xiaohan's mother-in-law, there were talking and laughing, Kong Xiaohan's mother-in-law saw that they sent meat again this time, and also sent a basket of grapes weighing more than ten catties, and enthusiastically brought a stool and beckoned Kong Xiaohan to pour water, Yu Mingyue also knew that her grandmother should be doing well here, and she was also relieved.

It's just that when she called Luo Zhengfen, Luo Zhengfen only snorted in love, but she screamed at Kong Xiaolan's cousin Xiaolan, and washed the grapes and fed them to Xiaolan, who was more than four months older than Yu Mingyue, but when she looked at Yu Mingyue, her eyes changed, and there was still some disgust in her eyes, which made Yu Mingyue a little hurt.

So later, although Yu Mingyue entered the city again in order to sell the goods in the rented warehouse, when she turned around the next day, she didn't dare to visit Luo Zhengfen again, because she was afraid that when she saw Luo Zhengfen looking at her, she still had a disgusted look, so she only bought a new dress of thick polyester fabric for Luo Zhengfen to wear in winter, and a pair of new cloth shoes with raw edges, and asked Yu Zhiqing and Kong Xingjiang, who sent the meat in, to help bring Luo Zhengfen to Luo Zhengfen.

Originally, they lived so smoothly, but on the fifth day of the first month of October, the mood of the two families fell to the bottom because of Kong Xiaoju's book departure.

On the fifth day of October in the lunar calendar in 1988, it happened to be the weekend, Yu Mingyue and the children of Caiyun Village went to the mountain to pick pine nuts early in the morning, even if they still brought rice balls and fruits up the mountain to eat during the day, but when the sun set, they were already hungry and tired when they came home, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Yu Zhiqing, who was collecting mountain goods, had a bad face, Yu Mingyue was still guessing what the reason was, but when she entered the house and saw her grandfather's family gathered in Zaofang City, Yu Mingyue was chuckled in her heart, and her first reaction was that something happened to Luo Zhengfen.

Before Yu Mingyue could ask, seeing that her daughter was so frightened that her face turned white, she directly said the reason: "Xiaoyue, don't worry, it's your fourth aunt, she seems to have gone to Yunnan." ”

"Yunnan? Dong Zigui, mother, is it related to Dong Zigui? Yu Mingyue asked in a sharp voice, but thinking that this matter could not be publicized, she lowered her voice and pulled Kong Xiaoyu, who was full of sadness, to ask.

Seeing Kong Xiaoyu nodding, Yu Mingyue's heart was half cold, and she also blamed herself a little. This time, her grandmother left home, and then she was fascinated by earning money again, and she forgot about the fact that the fourth aunt in her previous life was deceived by Dong Zigui and eloped at the end of 1988.

In fact, it's no wonder that Yu Mingyue is so careless, let's not talk about Luo Zhengfen and making money, in fact, in Yu Mingyue's heart, she has always thought that her grandfather's family situation has changed for the better, and her grandmother has also recognized Tang Wanfang's true face, and she has broken off contact with Tang Wanfang, and she will develop step by step in a better direction in the future, and they often enlighten Kong Xiaoju on weekdays, and say many bad things about Dong Zigui in front of Kong Xiaoju, so Yu Mingyue has already looked down on Dong Zigui, a dangerous person, from the bottom of her heart. felt that he would never trick her fourth aunt into going to the mountains to be his wife again.

However, Yu Mingyue is not a roundworm in Kong Xiaoju's belly, and she doesn't know much about Kong Xiaoju, where did she think about it, Kong Xiaoju is such a dead eye, she was still deceived by Dong Zigui, and left a letter saying that she wanted to marry Dong Zigui and live, asking her old father to forgive her, and let her brothers and sisters not worry about her words, so she took her own private house of dozens of yuan, and Kong Xinggang shared her 300 yuan with Dong Zigui more than half a month ago and went back to her hometown in Yunnan.

Where is this running away from home, this is obviously eloping with someone, this fact is like a thunderbolt from the sky, blowing up Kong Mingfu's family and Yu Mingyue's family three mouths dizzy, the matter of his own daughter eloping with someone made Kong Mingfu uncomfortable like a knife, just this little time to know the news, as if he was ten years old, the original firm and loose figure became a little uncomfortable, when a few people in the stove room thought of various methods, he had been standing by the door and smoking dry cigarettes, which made Yu Mingyue feel, Her grandfather, who has always had the most ideas and the strongest will, seems to be gone.

"Grandpa, don't worry, wait until the evening to inquire about the address of Dong Zigui's house in the village, let my father drive the car early tomorrow morning, and pull you and the second uncle to find my fourth aunt, the fourth aunt will be fine."

Yu Mingyue pulled the corner of Kong Mingfu's clothes and said. So far, Yu Mingyue has to comfort her grandfather, who must be uncomfortable and devastated, although she went to the fourth aunt's house in her previous life, and now she remembers that place, but she can't take her family to look for it so clearly, she can't explain it clearly.

Kong Mingfu was smoking a cigarette, and when he heard Yu Mingyue say this carefully, he was stunned for a moment, and gently patted Yu Mingyue's thin but somewhat stiff little back.

After half a ring, he said: "Xiaoyue, you are still young, don't worry about these things, with us adults here, it's okay." After finishing speaking, he sighed again, but he stopped talking, and smoked the dry cigarette that was about to burn out, seeing that Yu Mingyue was even more worried, but he didn't dissuade him, knowing that his grandfather was afraid that he was anxious and upset now.
