Chapter 276: Harvesting Rice
Okay, okay, one price, nine hundred and fifty yuan. Dong Ming also knows that this house is not easy to sell.
"Then it's decided, nine hundred and five, let's go to the transfer today." Mu Xiu agreed.
"So fast? I haven't packed my things yet. Dong Ming was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Xiu's movements to be so sharp.
"It's okay, as long as the house is transferred first, we won't live for the time being, give Uncle Dong two months to tidy up the house and move, then fifty will be regarded as rent." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Brother, I understand why you are looking for this girl." Dong Ming patted Sun Xingfu on the shoulder.
Dong Ming knew the people in the housing bureau, it was really easy for someone in the court to do things, and in one afternoon, the name of the house was changed to Mu Xiu's name, but at that time, the urban hukou was very rare, even if Mu Xiu bought a house, Mu Xiu was still only a rural hukou.
"Uncle Dong, this is nine hundred and fifty yuan, you count." Mu Xiu handed the money to Dong Ming, and didn't forget to ask: "You believe in me like this, I'm not afraid that I won't give you the money if the house is transferred." ”
"Brother Sun has vouched for you, I can trust someone he believes." Dong Ming said briskly.
Mu Xiu couldn't help but sigh that most of the current people are still simple.
When Sun Xingfu and Mu Xiu returned to the store, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, there were a few customers sitting scattered in the store, Chen Xuhui was standing at the counter, Huang Cui was nowhere to be seen, you don't have to think about it, you must have gone to the back kitchen to cook.
"I'll go in first." Sun Xingfu felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen, Chen Xuhui saw Mu Xiu coming back, his expression was relieved at first, and then he asked: "What are you doing, why have you been there for so long." ”
"I'll tell you later, let's go quickly, it's going to be dark when we get home." Mu Xiu is ready to surprise everyone afterwards.
Mu Xiu said goodbye to Sun Xingfu and Huang Cui, and drove an ox cart with Chen Xuhui to Yingwu Village.
When I got home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, Mu Xiaocao had just taken a bath, and Mu Shui was still in the bathroom.
"It's just so time you're back, let's have dinner together." Mu Xiaocao is about to go into the kitchen to serve food.
"Sister, why haven't you eaten yet?" Mu Xiu asked in surprise.
"I just came back from the village party secretary's field." Mu Xiaocao's voice was tired, and today they all went to help Chen Xiangyang harvest rice.
Mu Xiu came back to his senses at this time, quickly washed his hands, helped serve the meal, and when all the food was brought into the hall, Mu Shui also came out of the bath.
Everyone sat down to eat together, and Mu Shui said while eating: "The rice of the village party secretary's family grows so well, and the ears are all heavy, I thought that there were fish in the rice field, and the rice would not grow well." ”
"No, the village party secretary kept smiling on his face, and he said that he didn't expect the rice to grow so well." Mu Xiaocao took a bite of the dish and said.
"Generally, if fish are raised in the rice field, the rice yield will increase by 30%." Mu Xiu said calmly.
"Why?" Mu Xiaocao looked curious.
"Fish will eat weeds as food, even the young roots and shoots of weeds, and those pests that harm rice, fish will also eat, fish manure can also fertilize the field, the nutrition is higher than pig manure, and the fish swim around, turning the soil, loosening the soil, can also promote rice production." Mu Xiu started to popularize science.
"Alas, it's a pity that we can't grow rice in our field." Zhou Shuilian sighed.
"Mother, the sesame seeds and peanuts we grow are much more valuable than rice when sold, and with money, you are still worried that you won't be able to eat rice." Mu Xiu pouted.
"Speaking of sesame peanuts, Mu Xiu, when are we going to pull those in the warehouse to the grain purchasing station." Mu Shui asked.
"Let's go when we finish harvesting the rice of the village party secretary." Mu Xiu quickly finished the rice in the bowl.
"I'll wash up first, rest early, and we'll all help tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, Mu Xiu, Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui walked to Chen Xiangyang's house.
The people in the rice fields are working in full swing, and although it is hard, everyone's faces are filled with smiles of joy and happiness.
Soon arrived at Chen Xiangyang's land, and the old couple was already busy working in the field.
"Uncle Chen, it's early." Mu Xiu said hello, picked up his trouser legs and went to the ground, followed by Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui.
"Mu Xiu, you're here too." Chen Xiangyang raised his head when he heard the voice.
"There is great strength in numbers, and we will strive to harvest all the rice today." Mu Xiu bent down and began to work, and everyone joined the harvesting army.
At noon, Mu Xiaocao came to the field with clean water and noon food, everyone took turns to eat, and Mu Xiaocao also went to the field to harvest rice.
Finally, in the evening, all the rice in Chen Xiangyang's field was harvested, and Mu Xiu and the others pulled all the rice to the drying field in one go.
"This time, thanks to your help." Chen Xiangyang said gratefully.
"Uncle Chen, you say this a lot, and you help us a lot, we just help each other." Mu Xiu said as he took out sixty-nine yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xiangyang.
"This is the money from Uncle Chen's family selling fish yesterday, a total of sixty-three yuan, I was too busy today to bother to go to him, you help transfer it, we have something to do tomorrow." Mu Xiu's way home to Uncle Chen's house was not a stop.
"Okay, I'll go to his house in a while, this time it's really thanks to you, not only did the fish fry money return to the capital, but I also earned more than ninety yuan, not counting the rice, and the autumn harvest made money that I couldn't earn in the previous year." Chen Xiangyang sighed.
"The policy is still good, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, the future will be better and better." Mu Xiu smiled and continued, "I'm afraid Uncle Chen will be very busy next." ”
"It's true that rice has to be dried and threshed, and it will be busy for a while." Chen Xiangyang hammered his waist.
"Not only this, but also the villagers who used to work in the division system came to me every day, clamoring to divide the fields to households, and it will take a while for this amount of land to rise."
It turned out that the villagers who still wanted the division of work system last year, but this year, when they saw that the villagers who had divided their fields had a bumper harvest, they couldn't help but be annoyed, and they all came to ask for the division of the fields.
"This is my life of toil." Chen Xiangyang made a bitter face, beat his waist with his hand, and sighed.
"Uncle Chen, it will take several days to dry rice, and when I'm done, I'll make you a tool for threshing rice, and you can make it in two days." Mu Xiu looked left and right, and the drying field was all rice that was being dried.
Mu Xiu looked at so much rice, and couldn't help but think of some simple gadgets in the future, and she planned to make them and try them.
