Changgui and Ma Yongxing have both practiced, otherwise this pumping machine will be thrown halfway. This diesel pump is really sinking.

Even so, when they arrived at Xuefeng Village, the two of them were already exhausted, and a white salt frost appeared on their clothes.

The two of them directly put the diesel engine on the front porch of Changgui's house, and then sat directly on the ground.

One of them lit a cigarette and sat on the ground, refusing to even move his fingers.

The two of them only smoked, didn't say a word, and after a while, they looked at each other and laughed.

"Mother, I almost didn't get over." Ma Yongxing said with a smile.

"Brother Yongxing, if you can't do it, my sister-in-law will have to rely on someone else to take care of you in the future." Changgui made a joke.

"Get out! Lao Tzu can still be seven times a night, believe it or not! "Ma Yongxing really has no strength, otherwise he would have to get up and fight with Changgui, indicating that he is still heroic.

Zong Qiu had lunch at his uncle's house today. Changfu knew that Changgui went to Shaoqing City to buy a pump today, so he asked Zhang Zongming to call Zongqiu to go to his house for dinner.

When Zong Qiu came back, he found Changgui and Ma Yongxing sitting on the ground smoking. Happily ran over, "Dad, when are you coming back?" ”

Zong Qiu's eyes looked around, naturally to see if Changgui had bought him something to eat and came back.

I was supposed to buy it, a pack of biscuits, and some to eat. But when Changgui and Ma Yongxing were resting on the road, they accidentally ate it all.

As soon as Changgui saw Zong Qiu's eyes, he knew what he was looking for, and he was a little embarrassed. You can't say we've eaten what we bought for you.

"Don't look for the little eyes. I didn't have time to go to the consignment store when I bought a pump today. This machine is too expensive, it cost more than a thousand. If you accidentally bump into it, you will die. Next time you go to town, you'll have a full meal. Changgui said.

Ma Yongxing was also a little embarrassed, he ate the most biscuits. There is no way, he eats a lot, and that little bit of biscuit is not even enough to fill the corners.

As soon as Zong Qiu heard that the pumping machine was worth so much money, his attention fell on the pumping machine.

"Dad, our family bought this pump?" Zong Qiu looked at the pumping machine and wanted to touch it with his hands, but he was afraid that he would be beaten by Changgui if he broke the machine. More than a thousand! I don't know how much I can buy when I buy candy wrapped in paper!

"yes. Can someone else buy us a pump? I haven't eaten with your Uncle Yongxing yet. You hurry up and cook on the fire. I'll take a breath and I'll cook later. Changgui said.

Although Zong Qiu is only a few years old, he is very familiar with cooking on fire.

After asking Changgui how much rice he wanted to cook, he went to wash rice and cook. After scooping the rice, put it in the pot with your hands, and the water did not pass through the small hands. This is his trick for judging how much water to put in.

Changgui finished smoking a cigarette, patted his butt and got up, and went into the house to prepare for dinner.

In addition to bacon, there are no other dishes at home.

"Zong Qiu, you burn the fire and go to Aunt Chunxi's field to pick some chili peppers and come back." Changgui said.

"Go pick some beans in our field, and pick some beans by the way. My pepper trees are full of fruit, and if you don't pick them, they will be broken. Ma Yongxing said.

The vegetable plots in the village are basically concentrated in one place. Whose land is clear.

"Yes." Zong Qiu stuffed a few sticks into the stove, and then carried a bamboo basket to the vegetable garden.

Ma Yongxing's vegetable field is separated from the vegetable field full of grass by Changgui's family. Because when the land is divided, the vegetable garden is also divided into many small plots, and then everyone draws lots to determine the ownership of the land. The advantage of this is that it is fairer, and it all depends on luck. I don't always have to draw a few times to get to the wrong place. But the disadvantage is that the family's vegetable plot is only a few points in total, and the result is still a piece of east and west, and it is not concentrated at all. Naturally, it is also very inconvenient to manage. It is not uncommon for two families to roll on the floor for a vegetable plot.

Ma Yongxing is indeed much more diligent than Changgui, and the vegetables in the field grow really well. There is not a single weed in the field, and the soil is the color of black oil, which looks like fertile land. Loose and moist. It seems that this time there is no less watering.

The pepper trees in the field were covered with chili peppers, all of which were slender peppers. This kind of pepper is homegrown, and the pepper is very spicy. It is very suitable for making dried chili peppers and hot sauce.

Zong Qiu picked enough chili peppers to eat a few meals, and then went to pick a large handful of beans.

Beans must be picked in time, otherwise it is easy to get old, not only wasted, but also in vain to accelerate the aging of carob vines.

When he went back, Zong Qiu carried a basket full of them.

"You stinky boy, why are you picking so much?" Changgui knocked on Zong Qiu's head.

"There's a lot more in the field. After a day or two, I'll be old. You might as well pick me more. Zong Qiu said with a smile.

At this time, Ma Yongxing also entered the kitchen to help take care of the fire in the stove.

"Zong Qiu, I can't finish my family's dishes, so you can go to my field to pick them in the next few days. Pick whatever you want. Ma Yongxing said.

"Yes." Zong Qiu grinned and chose the dishes. Don't look at others as small, there is life in your eyes. He didn't need to shout, he knew what to do.

Changgui directly fried bacon, beans, and chili peppers in a pot and filled a big bowl.

The child digests quickly, and although Zong Qiu had eaten at his uncle's house, he would bring another bowl of rice and eat it.

"Changgui, how are you going to collect the money for pumping?" Ma Yongxing asked.

"Smoke your own family first, you, Baocheng, my senior brother, and Master, the eldest brother's family, will definitely not charge money. You just have to buy your own diesel. As for the others, let's see how much diesel it costs to smoke for an hour. Changgui said.

"That's not going to work, why don't we have to wear out some machines. Machinery is not something that can be used all the time with oil. Something often goes wrong. When the time comes, you will need money to repair the machine. You spend such a large amount of money to buy, not to mention making money, you can't lose your old capital. "Ma Yongxing is embarrassed to take advantage of this.

Changgui gave him 10 yuan a day's wages, if he still took advantage of this, it would be too inhuman.

"I didn't expect to make money with this pump. The main thing is that everyone has a harvest and will not be hungry in the coming year. Changgui said.

"Everyone has now solved the problem of food and clothing. Most people have built brick houses, but your house is still an adobe house. You also save some money to renovate the house early. Ma Yongxing said.

"Well, then collect some money." Changgui felt that Ma Yongxing was reasonable. Shengmi fights against rice, and the big boss still can't be the wrongdoer.

Two adults and a little kid cooked two liters of rice, a big pot of rice, and a big bowl of vegetables, all of which were eaten cleanly. Even the big bowl was mixed with rice for Ma Yongxing, and there was no waste of oil and water at all.

"Comfortable!" Changgui is full-fed, this feeling of satiety is really comfortable.

Ma Yongxing hiccuped: "I'm really hungry today." This pumping machine is really sinking! ”

Changgui laughed: "If this thing is put outside, ordinary thieves can't move it." ”

"You can't put it outside, and the thieves are ruthless these days. When the grain was handed over last year, the old six families hurriedly picked the grain to the brigade to dry the grain, but when they turned their backs, they were carried away by two bags. It's all that kind of big bag, seventy or eighty pounds a bag. People carry two bags in one carry! was so angry that the sixth man cried. Ma Yongxing said.

Almost everyone in the Xuefeng Village Brigade knows about this, Changgui has no impression for a long time, he was reborn in the drunkard father, but he did not inherit the memory of the drunkard father.

"Maybe there was more than one person who stole the paddy." Changgui said.

"Just one person. Someone saw it, copied one bag with one hand, and two bags of rice directly sandwiched in the armpit and got it back. The sixth child also knew about it later, but when he came to the door, he was beaten to death by a scoundrel and refused to admit it. The bag of rice was stuffed directly into the stove and burned to ashes. There is no evidence, and the sixth child can't do anything about the thief. Ma Yongxing said.

As soon as Ma Yongxing said that he was a thief, Changgui probably knew who it was. The person who likes petty theft the most in the village is called Wang Pingping. It's lazy to eat, a man in his forties, and he's been playing single. This kind of person is very reckless, and ordinary people really can't do anything about him.

The sixth child's name is Zhang Fangqing, and he is a responsible person. The mother-in-law is also very honest. An honest person like their family, where can he get an old scoundrel like Wang Pingping!

"This thief is too, with all his strength, but he refuses to work." Changgui shook his head.

"Changgui, everyone in the village knows that you have made money, and the thief will definitely target you. Be careful, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves worrying. Ma Yongxing reminded by the way.

Changgui nodded: "I will definitely be on guard." But if he dares to come to my house and steal, I'll have to break his dog's leg. ”

"You often have meat to eat at home, so it's best to feed a dog. My mother-in-law's mother-in-law has a cub, and I'll pick up a dog for you to raise when I turn around. His dog is a mountain dog. He often comes back with a hare in his mouth. Ma Yongxing gave Changgui an idea.

"That's good. It's okay to feed a dog at home. "Changgui likes to raise dogs. A farmer has a decent dog.

Changgui watched a TV movie in his previous life, called "The Fence Woman and the Dog". A farmer must have a fence, a woman, and a dog to look like a farmer's house.

Changgui now has a fence in his house, and there are no women or dogs. Alas, home is not like home.

In those days, there was no entertainment, and when it got dark, I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't sleep in bed every night, staring at the leaking tiles. It's been a long night!

Zong Qiu naturally didn't know the allusion between the fence woman and the dog, but it was the nature of children to like dogs.

As soon as he heard the dog, Zong Qiu jumped up: "Dad, it's good to raise a dog!" It's good to have a dog! Why don't we have two at home? We can take it to the mountains to catch wild animals. ”

"If you have two, we have as many dogs as people, so won't it become half a kennel? I can't feed you. Also have two dogs! "Changgui doesn't want the chaos of chickens flying and dogs jumping at home.

Ma Yongxing couldn't stop laughing: "The dog is all set for others." It would be nice if I could get you a dog. Would you rather have a yellow dog or a black dog? ”

Zongqiu Yellow Dog and Black Dog all wanted, thought about it, and chose the black dog.
