End of August

Qiao Mu received a manuscript fee from the People's Daily.

The manuscript fee is not much, a total of five yuan, but Qiao Mu still looked through the invitation letter in the reply letter back and forth many times, smiling stupidly.

Contributing to the People's Daily and contributing to other newspapers and periodicals are two completely different concepts, which can be described as worlds apart.

The first time I was a little excited.

This represents a kind of recognition, and it also means that her articles can be seen by some leaders, and maybe they can change the future a little bit through some subtle descriptions in the article in the future.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mu is sense of responsibility welled up in his heart, and he wanted to do more, so he immediately started to write the manuscript again excitedly, and even the local literature used to find her son was temporarily put aside by her, and she attacked the editorial first.

At this time, Qiao Mu and the old village chief and his wife secretly planted sweet potatoes on the mountain, and it was time to harvest, in order to prevent others from finding out what trouble, this time they went up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes also secretly, and took more than ten or twenty people to dig them, and it was safe when there were few people.

In the mountain peaks and valleys, Qiao Fuhua was leading more than a dozen young and strong young people to dig sweet potatoes here, but digging and digging, everyone felt that something was wrong, not that they found that someone was following or anything, but mainly because everyone suddenly felt that the sweet potatoes dug up were more than the sweet potatoes they had planted before, both in terms of size and quantity, and they were even bigger.

"Old village chief, is there something wrong with this sweet potato? I don't think this sweet potato is not only super big, but also has a large number of knots underneath!

It is estimated that there are five or six catties of sweet potatoes under a plant, which is too exaggerated, is it true that the radio on the commune is right, there is really a grain yield of 10,000 catties per mu in this world? ”

Qiao Tiehua pulled out a whole sweet potato, and it felt wrong when he picked it up, he had been a butcher for many years before, although he had not sold meat for nearly ten years, but the kung fu in his hands was still there, and he could know how much a thing weighed casually, and the difference was definitely no more than a penny.

"I don't know, this sweet potato seedling was brought by Mrs. Qiao, but the variety of this sweet potato is really good, not only is it big, but there are many of them, I dug two yesterday and tasted it, and the taste is much sweeter than the sweet potatoes we planted before.

Leave all of that alone, isn't it a good thing that there are more sweet potatoes below? Anyway, we planted it secretly, and we don't have to pay the public grain, so you better hurry up and dig it, and I'll take the time to ask Mrs. Qiao what's going on in the evening. ”

Qiao Fuhua had already dug up a plant yesterday to see if it could be harvested, and he had already been pleasantly surprised, so he was naturally very calm at this time, and he still had the heart to urge everyone.

Qiao Tiehua thought about it, anyway, this sweet potato will be distributed to every household when he goes back, and he wants to know if it is really high-yielding, so it's a big deal to leave a little sweet potato, and he will know if he plants it next year, but if it is so high-yield every year, then maybe he won't have to starve anymore in the future.

Thinking of this, my heart is also excited, I have much more strength to work, and the enthusiasm is not inferior to the enthusiasm when the land was first divided.

After digging for a day, a group of more than a dozen of them actually dug up a whole ten acres of sweet potatoes alive, and dug out no less than 100,000 catties, so many sweet potatoes, it is definitely impossible to transport them down the mountain in a short time by relying on a dozen of them, and one person can only carry a hundred catties if he dies.

Therefore, when the sun was about to go down in the afternoon, but the sky was still a little bright, the old village chief hurriedly ran down the mountain to beckon everyone to go to the mountain to help carry the sweet potatoes down together.

Anyway, now that it's dark, no one will run to their mountain at night, or run to their village to do anything, so the old village chief is not polite at all to call people, but almost everyone who can move has to go, and you must hurry up and try to transport all the sweet potatoes back before it gets completely dark, otherwise it will be difficult to go down the mountain after dark.

More than a dozen catties of sweet potatoes were transported, and the speed must be quite slow, but when hundreds of people were transported together, the speed became faster, but after two trips back and forth, all the sweet potatoes were transported to the original grain depot in the village.

In the grain depot, although everyone is hungry and tired now, but looking at the large pile of sweet potatoes in the grain depot, all of them are still full of smiles and laughter, Qiao Fuhua saw that everyone was so happy, considering that many people may have run out of food, so they did not delay everyone's time, and immediately stood up and said:

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'll give you this sweet potato now, Uncle Qiao, you and Dazhu Ergou they help everyone weigh sweet potatoes on the side, there are a total of 100 households in our village, adding up to 1,000 and 72 people, adult strong men each share 100 catties, the elderly and women are divided into 80 catties, and children under the age of 10 are divided into 60 catties, in addition, those who go up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes today are more than 20 catties, and those who carry sweet potatoes down the mountain are also worth 10 catties, do you have any opinions?"

"No opinion, no opinion, old village chief, you can hurry up and divide the red potatoes, I haven't eaten serious food in my stomach for almost half a month."

"Yes, village chief, divide it quickly!"

"Yes, village chief, we have no opinion!"

The old village chief's division was already quite fair, and everyone was indeed very hungry now, and they all wanted to quickly divide some sweet potatoes back to eat, and they felt really uncomfortable when they were hungry.

"Alright then, let's start weighing!"

Qiao Fuhua saw that everyone really didn't have any opinions, so he immediately asked the third uncle Qiao on the side to start distributing the grain, and everyone in the village knew how many people in each family had a few people, so naturally there was no pretending to be raised, and the number of catties should be divided.

After the division was finished, after everyone had divided as much as they wanted, there were still more than two hundred catties of sweet potatoes left in the warehouse, Zhang Fuhua looked around and found that the arbor did not come, so he immediately said:

"There are more than 200 catties left, but Mrs. Qiao didn't come over today, the sweet potato seedlings on the mountain are all provided by Mrs. Qiao, and I don't know how much money was spent and how much favor was spent, so more than 200 catties of sweet potatoes were given to Mrs. Qiao, don't have any opinions, this is what Mrs. Qiao deserves.

I still think I'm giving less!

After all, if there is no Mrs. Qiao, our big guy will not be able to divide at all, and we will have to go up the mountain to dig in the next few days, and every time the rest will be given to Mrs. Qiao!

Okay, no comment, go back!

Shut your mouth for me, if anyone dares to leak the news, they will be exterminated immediately! ”

The big guys all shared the sweet potatoes of all ages this time, that is, the family with the smallest number of people shared two hundred catties, plus they all knew where these sweet potatoes came from, so naturally they would not have an opinion.

After saying that they had no opinion, they should have done what they should have, and then hurriedly picked up the sweet potatoes that belonged to their family and went home to eat sweet potatoes.
