Chapter 70: Deng Long
This voice is really familiar, and Ji Wan knew who it was as soon as he heard it.
She sat in the field with a straw hat, the brim of the hat covered her vision, and when she slowly raised her head, she saw the person who was speaking in Santu Village, walking quickly towards Aunt He Xiu.
What splits his head and covers his face is a 'humiliation', and his words are also very sharp, and an index finger is still pointing at Aunt He Xiu, "What's the matter with you?" Don't you know that he is the secretary of the county party committee? Actually let the secretary come to work in the fields, is there no one in your family who can go to the field? Our secretary is here to inspect the work, not to work for you. ”
"And the secretary was sent from above, how can he work in the field like you, he has no eyesight at all, and the secretary's clothes are all dirt and dirty."
……
The man's mouth was still horning, and he didn't see that Chen Zairen's face was already blue, and a pair of eyes could already drill a hole in the man's body.
Aunt He Xiu was scolded and didn't dare to speak at all, after all, this person was an official, and if he was bad behind his back, they peasants would have no way to resist.
"Enough of that?" Ji Wan had already stood up at this moment, the soil particles on her body were patted clean by her, pointed to Chen Zairen behind Aunt He Xiu, and kindly reminded, "Your leader is still here, which is your turn to speak?" Don't take our secretary in your eyes at all, what? Do you want to turn over and be the boss? ”
didn't wait for the person to reply, Ji Wan continued to output damage, Xiaozui did not lose to that person at all, and his aura was also strong, which made people a little afraid to resist, "Look at you, we are not officials, but we are not your subordinates, we make mistakes, the village captain will come to teach a lesson, and if you don't do it, the secretary is here." What good is it for you to belittle us villagers, we grow all the rice we eat, what are you doing here? What can a person who does not work in the fields and whose limbs are not diligent use to help our people get out of poverty? With your already rusty brain? Or use your whiskering skills? ”
After a meal, the person was red at what Ji Wan said, and turned his eyes to look at Chen Zairen, as if he was complaining.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zairen just nodded and said lightly, "This girl is right, Deng Long, you are indeed not qualified to accuse the villagers like a vicious dog here." Go back and write a 2,000-word review, put it on my desk tomorrow, don't come here for a few days, and think about what you made wrong. ”
Deng Long saw that his 'backer' also said the same, so he had to leave in a gloomy manner, and glared at Ji Wan viciously before leaving.
This kind of indifferent provocation, Ji Wan naturally doesn't pay attention to it, she likes the way others want to get it but can't kill her.
What can be done? I can't bear it yet.
After the man left, Ji Wan said to Chen Zairen in the field, "Okay, Lao Chen, continue to do your work, I'll go back and prepare lunch." ”
"Let's shoot a cucumber and put more vinegar." Chen Zairen shouted loudly at Ji Wan in the field.
Now Chen Zairen is less and less regarded as an outsider, and has learned to order.
She can naturally meet this kind of small request, who made Chen Zairen a good official!
When she got home, she patted the dirt on her body with a towel in the yard, thinking that the March plums she brought back yesterday had not been fully processed, and the empty stutter was too sour, and she felt like she was going straight to the heavenly spirit cover, so she was ready to pickle all the plums now.
All the plums are now stacked in the yard, Ji Wan moved them all into the kitchen in one go, boiled a large pot of boiling water, and put the plums in and soaked them for about fifteen minutes until they changed color, and the sour and astringent taste at this time would also be removed.
The soaked plums must be dried up, and the Boone one is the residue of raw water, otherwise it will regurgitate acid.
Because he was marinating a large pot, Ji Wan directly took the sugar jar and poured it in, adding salt and a small amount of vinegar.
After stirring well, Ji Wan took a medium-sized jar, cleaned the inside, and wiped the water.
Finally, I poured all the plums into it, put it on the cool white boil, and drowned the plums.
Shake it and seal it in the cellar.
In Ji Wan's cellar, a lot of meat and rice and other grains she brought back, and there is an area where pickled products are stored, and there are many jars there.
The potatoes are almost out of food now, which can be completely solved.
I didn't plant much this year, so I changed to some other dishes, such as onions, tomatoes, pumpkin, cabbage, etc.
Pumpkins were also planted last year, but they didn't grow enough, and the family liked to eat them, so they increased the amount this year.
Ji Wan turned around and picked out some meat in a basket, glanced at a sack of peanuts exposed in the corner, and thought that the fried peanuts at home had not been eaten, so he left the cellar with only the meat.
The shed in the yard was full of pigweed, and the pigs in the pigsty were screaming, Ji Wan estimated that he was hungry, so he went to the kitchen to cook a large pot of pig food, poured it into the wooden basin of the pigsty, and several pigs surrounded him in twos and threes.
After solving the pig's eating, Ji Wan went to the rabbit nest on the side and fed some fresh grass into it, the rabbits inside had basically grown, and the rabbit food made by Ji Wan was more nutritious and the hair was shiny.
Ji Wan calculated the time, someone should come to shear the rabbit hair in early May, and then he can exchange some money.
The second sister-in-law wandered in the yard for a long time, and when she saw Ji Wan next to the rabbit's nest, she ran up and asked, "Little sister, why is the plum so ordered?" ”
After Ji Wan threw all the grass in his hand into the rabbit nest, he replied, "I've pickled all the crispy plums, and I can taste them at night." ”
"Crispy plums? Does it have an astringent taste? The second sister-in-law said that it was astringent, and her face wrinkled together.
Ji Wan smiled slightly, she was quite sure of her craft, "Of course not, it's just a sweet and sour taste, very appetizing." ”
The second sister-in-law clapped her hands, her face instantly stretched, and her tone was much more relaxed, "That's good, I originally said that this plum is too astringent and unpalatable." ”
When Ji Wan moved the plums, he found that there were a lot fewer plums, but it was not very obvious, so he didn't think much about it.
Now when I hear the second sister-in-law say this, it turns out that the missing plums have entered the stomach of the second sister-in-law.
She looked at her second sister-in-law and guessed in her heart that they all said that they were sour and spicy girls, maybe the second sister-in-law would have to give birth to a little nephew.
At eleven o'clock at noon, the sun outside had risen to its highest point, and the people working in the fields had come back, and Ji Wan had already made a pot of mint tea half an hour ago, which happened to be cold.
As soon as Chen Zairen entered the door, he brought himself a bowl of water, drank it all in a heroic sip, and looked at Ji Wan with incredible eyes, "Girl, you drink this tea and your body is a lot cooler!" What tea leaves are brewed? ”
Now Chen Zairen is no different from an ordinary farmer, working in the fields all morning, his whole face is red, and his trouser legs have all rolled up
Ji Wan saw that the tea in the pot was about to bottom, poured another pot, pointed to the tea leaves floating in Chen Zairen's bowl and said, "This is a mint tree planted in my backyard, drinking it in summer can not only relieve the heat, but also prevent heat stroke." ”
Chen Zairen looked at a tea leaf in the cup, twisted it up with some curiosity, and muttered, "It's really cold." ”
At noon, I made the cucumber that Chen Zairen ordered, and made braised potatoes, pumpkin with sugar, tomato and egg soup, and pickled cabbage fish.
Of the five dishes, there is nothing left for nine people to eat, and they are all dry rice people.
Now that the seedlings have been planted in their fields, they can be regarded as a little leisurely, and the other villagers are not as fast as Ji Wan's family, and there are still a lot of work to do, all of them are middle-aged people in the field.
After eating, Chen Zairen and Ji Wan sat in the courtyard to blow the wind and chatted for a while.
"Girl, you are a little hostile to Deng Long today! What do you think of him as a person? Chen Zairen closed his eyes and lay on the recliner, holding a straw hat over his stomach.
Ji Wan was drawing a new embroidery in his hand, and he was also thinking about how to describe this Deng Long in his mind, "He!" Yang flattery and yin are violated, flattery, and deep friendship is not allowed. ”
Chen Zairen seemed to be a little interested, and asked Ji Wan to explain it to him in detail.
Seeing Chen Zairen staring at her, her eyes revealing that she wanted to know, she put down the work in her hand and told him seriously, "Deng Long is in Santu Village, let the villagers pretend that their lives are not bad, and come to deceive you, but I didn't expect you to suddenly come to Jiangzhou Village, and your wishful thinking was directly overturned." For you, it is also a trick to kill you, to hold you high, and when the time comes, if the people from the city come to inspect and find that the life of the villagers is still so bad, the first thing is to come to you. ”
"But you are very smart, you are not led by the nose by him, I admire you very much if you can come to experience country life."
Chen Zairen sighed, looked at the sun outside, and began to tell Ji Wan about his difficulties, "I am also a new appointed, and it is normal for the people under my hands to disobey me, but I can't watch him insult the peasants." It is not easy for farmers, all year round, they can be regarded as relying on the sky for food. The harvest is not good, this year is a busy day, although Deng Long's position in the county is lower than mine, but his power is not small, and sometimes I can only punish a small punishment. Now I am secretly looking for evidence of his corruption, trying to bring him down completely. ”
"Okay, don't talk about this, you have your difficulties, but these are not for ordinary people like me to think about." Ji Wan is not ready to get involved in this kind of troubled water, it doesn't matter if she is targeted, but she has to consider the people at home, pursed her lips, she tactically changed the topic, "Lao Chen, are you still going to work in the fields in the afternoon?" ”
Chen Zairen seemed to have been brought out of that serious topic by her, thought about it seriously in the afternoon, and nodded, "Yes, I want to study more in the field in the past few days, see what kind of environment these crops need to grow, and help them do more work." ”
As soon as Chen Zairen went to do farm work, he was full of energy, and his strength was growing day by day, from the beginning he couldn't lift the basket, to now he can help people carry heavy objects, which is also a big change.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the men in the family went out to work, and Ji Wan packed the processed goods at home and placed them in the workshop.
The clothes have to be folded evenly, otherwise they will be hung on the shelves when the time comes, and others will not want to buy them if they are wrinkled.
The sister-in-law was embroidering clothes on the side, and she didn't forget to remind Ji Wan, "Little sister, Ming'er went to the town to buy clothes, don't forget to call me!" ”
Ji Wan just carried a box up, lay on it and gasped for breath, and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget it." ”
