Chapter 44: The Fierce Soybeans

The frost fell overnight, and when I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt the cold, and the wind seemed to be pervasive, and it would not let go of a small gap wherever there was.

Entering the wax moon, the house has already been built, and if you want to build it, you can only wait for next year after the spring thaw.

The new site of Huangjiawan has begun to take shape, in addition to the five houses of Huang Laohan's family, the old residents of Huangjiawan are all entering Layue to build houses.

As for the foreign population, the ones built intermittently are Zhao Dashan's house, Wang Chongyang's house, and the other 23 households.

Most of these 25 households bought land, but they had no money to build a big house, so they had to build a low thatched hut on one side of the adobe as much as possible. It can be regarded as a temporary settlement and will not be disturbed by wind and rain.

Save a little in the future, such a house can be used as a stove room or tool room, livestock room and the like, will not be wasted, and can ensure a safe winter.

Although a new natural village has been formed, it is not as beautiful and orderly as imagined. Because the vast majority of people do not have the money to build large houses and courtyards, it seems that this area of villages is very scattered.

Nanshan Town has a plan for each family before buying and selling land and allowing them to settle down and build houses, and those who buy land and settle down can borrow money for building houses without interest on a capitation basis if they have a strong male laborer aged between 15 and 40.

For example, if you have three strong laborers of the same age, you can get an interest-free loan of three taels of silver for buying three acres of land, only one tael of land for one acre, and only three taels of land for ten acres.

On the other hand, if you have only one strong laborer in your family, then you can only borrow one or two, and no matter how much land you buy, you can only buy so much.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is completely a white wolf with empty gloves on a piece of wasteland, I have ten acres of wasteland to sell to build a house for you, and you have ten young and strong laborers, I can lend you these ten taels of silver to buy land, so that you can settle down.

You can afford it, my land has been sold, my village has been built, and there are ten more strong laborers. You can't afford it, the land is still there, it won't run, it's a big deal I'll take it back.

Far from being shameless, this method quickly gathered a group of displaced victims for the new village. There are large areas of barren mountains and wilderness in Nanshan Town, and if you have the strength to reclaim it, it will be tax-free for the first three years, and after three years, it will be taxed according to the thin land, and there is not much money.

As long as people are diligent, the ground will not be lazy, and there is no problem at all to make a living.

Huang Laohan is still very busy with his children and grandchildren every day, and that beach land needs to be transformed into a field. The crops on the family land need to be stocked up on fertilizer this winter, and if it continues to rain like this in the spring, it needs to be watered manually.

However, it was also a spring thing.

When he bought the land and didn't build a house, Huang Dou led two sisters and a younger sister when he was free, plus Huang Dezhong and Huang Dexiao. A few people began to collect the weeds cut down by the adults, the leaves that fell from the trees, and prepared to make fertilizer.

Huang Dou remembered that there used to be a biogas digester in the countryside, which could be of many uses, but she just knew that it really wouldn't, so she still thought about it.

Cut grass and leaves were piled up, mixed with various dung, and smeared with black silt from the river beach. At that time, the fermented fertilizer could not go to the ground, and there would be grass seeds in the grass eaten by the poultry, and if it was not fermented well, more weeds would grow in the ground.

After more than a year of fermentation, the grass seeds have already sprouted in the fermentation process and are fermented into the fertilizer, and no more weeds will grow the next year.

This fattening method was made by soybeans and Huang Delei and yellow peaches when they were very young, and adults didn't pay attention to it. As a result, the fertilizer after fermentation for more than a year was deliberately sprinkled in a corner by Huang Laosan, and the effect was obvious and amazing.

Since then, the Huang family has piled up a few of these biogas fermented fertilizers behind the house every year, which has gradually been accepted by the villagers.

Huang Laohan finally agreed to Huang Guigui's request to go to sea, he felt that now the child is still young, after Liu Yuer's incident, Huang Laohan thought of the marriage of the following grandchildren, too anxious to pile them together, it is easy to meet Liu Yuer such an unreliable event.

And Huang Boss and Huang Laosan also agreed to let Huang Delei and Huang Deluo go out with their uncle, on the condition that the three uncles and nephews must be together, so that they can help each other.

After this incident, the relationship between the uncle and nephew has not been estranged, but has become closer.

In addition to digging ditches and ditches to organize the river beach into fields, the Huang family also had to dig stones to pave the road, and what Huang Laohan needed to pave was a section of the road in front of his house. And there is a rule here, whoever has a section in front of the road paves the way, and it is necessary for the two officials of Nanshan Town to accept it, and it can only be passed.

The Huang family has the longest area and the most costly, and Huang Dou proposed to hire someone again, and this time Huang Laohan and his sons held a family meeting and agreed to the proposal. Huang Laosi doesn't go to the dock anymore, there are too many things at home, and the master gets up early every day to be greedy for darkness, but he can't do much.

It is not very clear what the situation is in the lower reaches of East Lake, because of the influx of some victims, it is obvious that the disaster is still relatively serious. Places like Nanshan Wharf, which require a lot of strong labor, are saturated, so you can imagine how large the affected area is.

The price of dock workers has fallen again and again, and the price of grain has fallen to the present, but it is still more than 30% higher than in previous years. At the moment, it is quite cheap to hire labor, and even if you give two full meals, you can hire a young man for a day's labor.

The Huang family decided to hire someone, and as soon as the news spread, people who settled nearby rushed over first. The first batch hired twenty-five young and strong laborers to wipe out the idle labor force in the surrounding neighborhood.

The family was divided into two groups, and the five brothers of the Huang family led 20 people to the river beach to dig ditches and build ridges to turn the river beach into fertile land. Huang Laohan took his grandson to lead five people into the mountain, combed the Huang family's mountain first, planted fruit trees for those who could grow melons and fruits, and the slopes were steep and dense, and the fence was enclosed to prepare for animal husbandry.

The four women in the store are busy enough, and the soybeans are not so leisurely, although they are separated, but this year, after the flood in the mountains, they have been eating together until now, and they will probably not be separated until next year's spring harvest.

Huang Deguang's daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she leads Huang Deming's daughter-in-law and two sisters-in-law to cook for the whole family and hired workers every day, and Huang Dou takes care of Huang Deyi and Huang Dezhi's life.

Fortunately, Huang Dezhi is mostly eating and sleeping, and Huang Deyi is a very coaxing child, Huang Dou gave him a pile of sand, and he could sit on the sand and play seriously for a long time.

This pile of sand was still transported from the seashore by soybeans, all her pocket money, plus all the pocket money of her brothers and sisters in the family, and finally Huang Deguang, who was already married, was exploited by her to make up one or two pieces of silver.

Five bags of sand, as long as the clean fine sand selected on the beach sand is loaded, and brought over by the way, it is easy to earn one or two pieces of silver.

For this pile of sand, Huang Dou deliberately pulled Huang Delei to work as a coolie, and built a half-high pool along the wall in the corner of his house to ensure that the sand would not be wasted casually.

A thick layer of gravel and pebbles picked up by the stream in Huangjiagou are laid under the pond to ensure that the water can be quickly dried up when it rains.

Many people can't understand the magical idea of soybeans, this kind of sand pile can neither be eaten nor can it grow grain and vegetables, and it took a tael of silver just to make Huang Deyi climb it every day and play with ashes?

Just such a pile of sand, soybeans are very strictly guarded, and the children who are lucky enough to go up to play with Huang Deyi have all been screened by soybeans, and finally there is the youngest grandson of the seventh grandfather's family, three-year-old Huang Desong.

Children over the age of 5 are not allowed to do so; If you don't like to be clean, you can't do it; It's too naughty and mischievous, it's quite unreasonable, no.

What Soybeans are very afraid of is the kind of child who is four or five years old and still wears open crotch pants and urins everywhere.

And most people have been accustomed to such a state, three or four-year-old children, wet, a little more particular will be replaced and washed, and ordered again, that is, take off and change a set without washing, directly dry, and wait for that set to get wet and then change.

The most unbearable thing is the natural division of labor when the urine is wet, and people smell a smell of urine before they come to the side. There are even some children who are seven or eight years old and drag their noses, and their sleeves and mouths are hard to touch.

Huang Dou has no habit of cleanliness, but she can't stand such a child. She took Huang Deyi and was very determined to change him every day and wash it every day, and if he was wet, he must be scalded with boiling water. Huang Deyi, who is less than two years old, has been able to control her and pee most of the time, and then asked her sister for help.

And Huang Dezhi, who was still in the cradle, also entered the strict monitoring of soybeans, trying to pee on the, changing the urine wet, and boiling water to scald diapers and clothes.

Sometimes, Huang Dou's unreasonable and unkind behavior gave Huang Laosan and Huang Sanniang a headache.

A small pile of sand almost caused a big disturbance in this newly established village, and countless children came and were driven away by soybeans. From three or four years old to eleven or twelve years old, as long as they don't need to help the family, they are basically free-range. They went into the water to fish, went up to the trees to pick up birds, and went everywhere.

The fifth grandfather's puppy Dan is one of the people who was blacklisted by Soybeans. But the little dog was unconscious, and when the soybeans were not paying attention, they jumped on the sand pile and kicked them indiscriminately. As soon as Huang Dou heard the howl of Huang Deyi and Huang Desong, he knew that it was the little dog Dan, and immediately touched a stick to chase him out.

The little dog is very afraid of soybeans, he was beaten by soybeans once, knowing that soybeans are ruthless and unsympathetic, as long as he sees soybeans, he immediately slips away with his tail between his legs.

In this way, the soybean can chase him for half a mile with a stick. Huang Sanniang was angry and helpless, she was basically not at home during the day, and when she came back at night, she had to listen to the complaint of the little dog and grandmother, and she couldn't refute it. And Huang Tao can't stop the soybeans, so she can only go.

In a few days, there will be a very funny scene, the puppy egg runs in front of the smoke, and the soybean chases with a stick. Grandma Puppy Egg chased after Soybean and scolded, even if she scolded fiercely, it couldn't stop Soybean's determination to prepare to scare Puppy Dan.

The beating may not be a real fight, but the madness that is vicious and frightening has completely subverted the gentle and virtuous image of the Huang family girl.

In the eyes of the old neighbors of Huangjiawan and the new neighbors now, yellow rice and yellow peach are the best masterpieces of the Huang family girl, and soybeans are failures.

Many years have passed, and when the locals mention soybeans, they all say: "That little girl from the Huang family, she is beautiful and beautiful, but she is too fierce!" ”
