Chapter 80: The Big Horn in Zhoujia Village

Nothing was said all night. The next morning, after breakfast, Zhou Yu went to find Zhou Hu with a basket full of Rhodiola planters, this kid still owes himself a day's work.

Zhou Hu didn't grind this time, but followed Zhou Yu with great interest. Because in two days, Zhoujia Village will start digging Rhodiola, and he will be the person in charge at that time, and finally he will no longer have to drive cars all over the town to attract customers to make money. This is a small step for Zhoujiacun, but a big step for itself.

From now on, under the light of the big sun of Brother Ergou, his future is definitely bright, alas, I'm afraid it will be too dazzling! Compared to these, helping Ergou do a day's work is simply drizzle.

Because the brothers left a little early, the dew in the woods and grass had not yet dried, and when the brothers arrived at the Pheasant Ridge, their clothes were mostly wet, and there was no one on the mountain anyway, so the brothers simply took off their clothes and began to plant Rhodiola along both sides of the mountain stream.

The seedlings around the pond are growing well, and they have grown to a height of tens of centimeters after a few days, which is beyond the growth rate of ordinary crops.

After doing it for a while, Zhou Yu planned to take a look at the periphery, so the brothers put down the shovel and walked to the periphery bare-chested.

Zhou Hu swallowed his cigarette and said mournfully: "Brother Ergou, what can I do?" These seedlings are estimated to be pheasants and rabbits, and the range here is so large that even the clips under the net can't catch them. ”

Zhou Yu is furious now, these things are the foundation of his own fortune, although the space can accelerate the growth of plants, but without these crops as a foil, it is not even a root hair, who dares to sell the crops in the space without evidence? Isn't that looking for death? These pheasants and rabbits, it looks like it's time to think of something to deal with these guys.

Although there is no way to deal with those vegetable thieves now, but this rhodiola should still be planted, the brothers turned their grief and anger into strength, and finally planted a large basket of rhodiola rosea near noon, and it is estimated that the planting area can be about three or four acres.

Looking at the mountains of green crops, the brothers were both happy and a little regretful, happy that the seedlings were growing well, but unfortunately these seedlings were ruined a lot, and the two of them did not come up with a way to deal with it now.

Although there were some small regrets, things should be thought of in a good way, and the way to deal with it would definitely come to mind, so the two returned to the village with a smile.

Since it was not yet dinner time, Zhou Yu asked Zhou Yu to sit at his house and talk about the acquisition in the future by the way.

When the two of them arrived at the gate of Zhou Hu's house, they found that in addition to the Taigong family, Taigong Liu and his disciple Zhou Da Horn were also there. And under the grape trellis in the yard, a two-meter-long horn (suona) is placed on two chairs, this big horn is made of brass throughout, and the bottom of the big horn is the size of a washbasin, and due to the fine maintenance, the surface is shining with a simple luster.

After saying hello to everyone, the two brothers rushed to the front of the loudspeaker, touched here and there, and their excitement was full of excitement.

It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, bandits were born near Taiping Town, at that time, several ancestors of Zhoujiazhuang gathered all the money in the village to make such a big horn for early warning, this big horn because of the length of the body and wide mouth, so its sound can be penetrated to five miles away, the horn sounded to indicate that there are bandits coming, so that each family can prepare in advance.

The role of the loudspeaker in different historical periods is not the same, to the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the loudspeaker has become a rallying call and an early warning bell, the thick and vigorous horn sound has saved the villagers of Zhoujia Village countless times, until the founding of the People's Republic of China after the horn lost its original role.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, because there was no radio in the village at that time, and the people in Zhoujia Village lived scattered, so the loudspeaker played the role of broadcasting, and after the radio was broadcast in the 80s, the loudspeaker was rarely used.

But when there is any major matter in the village that needs to be decided, the village elders and the party secretary will jointly decide to blow the loudspeaker, which is the highest level of Zhoujia Village's calling, as long as the loudspeaker sounds, from the old man in his eighties to the three-year-old child who is waiting to be fed, as long as the family can walk, they must come to the village yard.

In Zhou Yu's memory, the number of times the horn sounded no more than twice. It can be said that this loudspeaker has witnessed the history of blood and tears of the people of Zhoujia Village who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, fighting bandits inside, and fighting against ghosts outside, and also inherits the spirit of Zhoujia Village that is not only alive and fighting.

And if you want to blow this big horn, you need professional hands, Liu Taigong is the player of the big horn in the last 60 years, and now that he is older, he has found a successor, that is, the Zhou Da horn next to him.

This Zhou Da Horn is Zhou Yu's uncle, forty-five or sixteen years old, fat and dundun, but there is a big feature is that the breath is long, when he and Zhou Ding helped this group of peers to go down to the river to fish and catch shrimp, no one could get him, and later became the player of the big trumpet by Mrs. Liu.

After this incident, he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep for several days, and he knew that he was fiddling with the highest authority in the village, which was equivalent to the people's congress. That's really a big horn, who wouldn't dare not come?

Zhou Yu glanced at the two princesses, and asked with some puzzlement: "I said the two princesses, what are you going to do?" Is there anything else worth blowing the trumpet right now? ”

Taigong glanced at him and didn't speak, Liu Taigong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Ergouzi, you kid, it's really good!" Your grandfather Liu is eighty years old this year, but before I go to meet my old brothers, I can still see that there is a character like you in Zhoujia Village, and the old man can also be blinded.

Yesterday, your father-in-law came to me to discuss and told me about you, saying that the loudspeaker in our Zhoujia Village has not sounded for many years, is it time to blow it this time? When I heard what was going on, he was so damn hung that he shivered on the floor.

At first, I thought I had something wrong with my ears and didn't hear clearly, but I didn't know it until your third uncle and third aunt told me again. I said at the time, how could such a big event not blow the loudspeaker to gather the whole village?

So I'm not just bringing your fifth uncle here? Alas, I really miss the sound of the trumpet, I haven't heard it in years! ”

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this, he just did what he could, but this little thing made the loudspeaker remember that he really couldn't stand it. So he asked worriedly: "Taigong, isn't it a bit of a fuss, is it enough to blow a loud trumpet for such a thing?" I can't afford it! ”

Taigong's eyes glared and he said with a fierce attitude: "What can't you afford?" This is definitely a major event in Zhoujiacun for decades, who can afford it if you can't afford it? Since I have discussed it with you Mrs. Liu, the matter is so decided, and it is useless for anyone to say it!

Old five, the time for the horn to blow is set at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two of you will help your fifth uncle carry the horn at that time! ”
