Chapter 59: Into the Mountains
The weather was too hot, suffocating people in that room, and the grandfather and grandmother took a small bench to cool off in the yard, the moonlight was thick, and the yard was very bright. Mama took the pampa fan that her master made up to fan Tang Qi, and the two of them chatted about common things. At this time, the door suddenly rang, and the master took Tang Qi to open the door, at this point, the people in the village were generally asleep, and they didn't know who it was. He took the tip off the small wooden door and opened it, "Captain, why are you here?" ”
That's right, the person who came was the captain of the village, Li Quanshen, "Third brother, I'm here to discuss something with you." Li Quanshen said with a smile, but looking at his frowning brows, he knew that he had been worried about something in the past few days.
"Alright, come in!"
"Third sister-in-law, you guys are really enjoying it here!"
"Huh...... Where! It's too hot to sleep. Sit down, I'll go into the house and get another bench. Get up and hand him your bench, and go into the house and find another one.
"Third brother, you've heard all the rumors in the village! To tell you the truth, the above really came down with a notice, asking the public canteen to make 2 catties of food per person, so that the big guys can eat to their heart's content. I consulted with the rest of the team, and they all said that I would like to hear your opinion. "The people in the village don't know, this third brother is very hidden, when he beat the little devil, the third brother also went, and he also became a platoon commander there, and I heard that he also made a great contribution. It's just that others asked him to go to the provincial capital, but he didn't go, he just wanted to go back to this small village and be a farmer here. After he came back, he didn't let it go, and only said that he went to work and came back without earning money. Except for himself, even the third sister-in-law and Tu Yan didn't know about it. As for himself, he has become a hero in the village, but if there is any major matter, he will discuss it with the third brother.
"What can I say? I don't know a few big words, but ah! Let's take a look at Li Jicun! Which of our parents, grandmothers, and grandparents doesn't want to save food and save more food? We peasants! Rely on the sky to eat, one day God forgets us, if it rains heavily, or if it doesn't rain or something, won't we have to starve to death? I've never heard of any crops that waste food, anyway, the policy is dead, if no one checks, just according to the size of one person's food, someone checks, you add more. Okay? ”
"Hey! Third brother, you really speak to my heart. I think so too, if we are not rich now, how can we waste it? You can't forget whether you can eat enough in the future for the sake of the good in the present. We can't afford to waste it. Li Quanshen's brows opened, just do it!
"Then third brother, you should rest early, I'll go first." After saying hello to Mama, he left.
"Gone in such a hurry." Mama smiled and looked at the captain's figure.
Tang Qi kept looking at the master, always thinking that the master was a simple peasant man, but he didn't expect it! The words that came out were so reasonable, at that time, who dared to oppose this policy, couldn't help but have admiration in their eyes.
No matter how good the food in other villages is, the food in Li Ji Village has not changed, as before, corn tortillas and Chinese cabbage, not to mention full, but why not hungry. It's also a good meal during the holidays.
Next, digging the bay, except for the old man and children, all capable men and women, went to dig the earth. As soon as the whistle sounded in the brigade during the day, he went out with a shovel and a basket on his back, and Tang Qi was placed in Nanwu's house for Er Feng to watch. Cheng Tian was with the real milk doll next to him, and Tang Qi looked at the sky speechlessly.
"Mother, rest for a while, drink some water!" Every day, Li Yage boiled water from home to make sour plum soup, (there are many sour fruit trees in the village.) Send water here every day, "Mingxiang, your daughter is here to bring you water again!" A woman over there wiped the sweat from her face and said with a smile.
"Your daughter is really filial! Come every day. ”
"Huh...... Last time, she was crazy and suffered a loss, and now! Sensible, help me clean up the house, I am also a lot lighter. Mingxiang straightened up and wiped her face with the towel around her neck, "Let's go, let's go rest and rest!" ”
"It's still so hot! Well, you go first, I'll go and rest in a moment. ”
Mingxiang greeted the people around her with a smile, and walked up to Li Yage, who was standing in the shade of the tree, "Xiaoge, don't come on such a hot day, I brought water." ”
Seeing that my mother's originally white face had become black after these days, a trace of distress flashed in my heart. "It's okay, mother, I don't have anything to do at home, come, drink some water, this quenches thirst and fever!"
Zhang Mingxiang directly took the teapot and poured a cup and poured it down, "Xiaoge, the herbal tea you make with those sour fruits is really delicious." This little head melon seed is really smart! ”
After a few words of advice to Li Yage, she put on a straw hat and returned to the working people, and after resting here for a long time, she would attract gossip.
Li Yage has been looking at her mother, who is physically tough, and this time, her mother is guarded by her......
The collective labor was in full swing until the next winter, and when they looked at the wheat that had already died in the field, everyone sighed, this year it was confiscated!
Thanks to the fact that there is still some food left in the granary of the village, but it is not enough for the whole village for a year! I can only save food, and if I don't have enough, I will go to the side of the mountain to dig wild vegetables. The whole village went to dig, and without the wild vegetables were the young leaves of the tree. They don't have anything to complain about, you know, in other villages, there are people who are starving, even the tree poles can be eaten, they are all good.
If you don't have enough to eat, you don't have the strength, and there is no one to plant the fields in the village, so you have to fill your stomach first.
If the food is not enough, eat live, no, the sheep, pigs, and cattle that were collectively raised and ready to be killed again for the New Year celebration were killed, but it was just a few days of eating, and 500 or so families could also drink some soup and eat a piece of meat, where to eat enough!
There was really no way, so the people in the village decided to go up the mountain!
This is a method that has to be done as a last resort, and the people in Li Ji Village know that there are big insects and long insects on the mountain, and those who go deep into the mountains do not come back. Since childhood, my father and mother have told the baby that they must not go into the mountains! However, look at the yellow-skinned relatives in the family, grit your teeth, you have to go!
Li Yage looked at the men who signed up for the collective preparation to enter the mountain, her heart was sour, this time in her previous life was too young, and there were only a few impressive things to remember, one of which was this, there are really many treasures in the mountains, the uncles went into the mountains, carried a lot of things back, and solved the urgent need, but they also resisted the corpses of two people back! I remember that at that time, Niangniang said that the two people were bitten to death by a big insect in order to save other villagers. However, they also killed the big worm, and the tiger skin was given to the family members in half.
Looking at the captain who was busy signing up, she gritted her teeth, and then looked at Li Sancane, who was standing there honestly chatting with the people next to her, she lowered her head and hid her complicated eyes.
Second sister:
