Chapter 16 Transporting Grain Back to the Village
Peng Qixing sat down and looked at his nephew, what else is going on?
"Uncle, you and your aunt are in your early forties, right? Ever thought about adopting a son? Xiaojuan, I arranged for her to work, and she will be able to earn money to support her family in the future, and I will also help.
Now there are a lot of orphans in some places, I can help you pick a boy about one year old, you raise him to grow up, what is the difference between his own child, your family will discuss, if you agree, I will help you find one as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Yuan felt that he could help and save a small life, and when he went back to have a chance to talk to an uncle, he was probably also very excited.
"Really? That's the best, your aunt has been sick for so many years, and she has always asked me to raise a son, but where is the opportunity! There are a lot of girls, who gives the boys, or they are older, they already remember, and they can't be raised if they are not familiar, isn't that making trouble for Xiaojuan? Peng Qixing stood up excitedly, and immediately agreed to discuss something.
"Then I know, you go and call someone, tell your aunt to cook more, eat together at noon, this point can't let people watch us eat, and there are no outsiders." Xiao Yuan reminded his uncle.
"Okay, I see, you drink tea here, I'll be back soon." Peng Qixing left in a hurry, this is a major event related to the survival of hundreds of clansmen!
It didn't take long for two gray-haired old men to come after their uncle, "This is Xiao Yuan, the son of Yingzi's sister, right?" Nephew, I am your second uncle Peng Qiguang, this is your fourth uncle Peng Qihua, and he is an accountant. The village chief Peng Qiguang pushed his cousin away, stepped forward and took the initiative to reach over, there was no way, he was about to die.
"Hello second uncle, hello fourth uncle, you two hurry up and sit down and smoke." Xiao Yuan had already stood up, his mother and uncle were big, and it was all for nothing to beat you.
"Good boy, you also sit, I heard your uncle say that you will exchange meat for food, and he also said something unclear, you hurry up and tell your uncle, what is the change." Peng Qiguang was impatient, took the cigarette and asked, food is the most important thing.
Xiao Yuan lit cigarettes for the three uncles, sat down and gave a detailed introduction, the conditions are the same as Xiao Jiagou, they are all relatives with relatives, and they can't favor one over the other.
"This is a great thing, my nephew is still looking for my grandmother's house! I completely agree, fourth, what about your opinion? Peng Qiguang's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed, but he still consulted his partner.
"Second brother, what can I say, this is a nephew taking care of us, a great thing, if anyone disagrees, won't they be fools?" Peng Qihua said bluntly, who would disagree? Don't eat it in your family!
"Okay, let's see how many pigs are appropriate, and some sheep will be dealt with, and the fat that hasn't eaten in winter will be lost! The two calves can't be dealt with, and there is no land in our village, just keep the old cows. "Peng Qixing is very bold.
The four of them discussed while drinking tea, of course, the village chief and the accountant were the main ones, and they calculated how much they could take out to exchange for food and how to exchange it.
Seeing that his aunt began to serve the food, Xiao Yuan got up and went to the car to get two bottles of Erguotou, and he couldn't drink his uncle's Xifeng, which was his gift.
"Oh, today is the nephew's light, good cigarettes, good wine, good food, and good things, so we're welcome." Peng Qihua said with a smile.
"Yes, I met a great event, of course, I have to borrow two glasses of my nephew's good wine, I can't drink too much, it's important to work in the afternoon!" Peng Qiguang knows that it is important to be measured, or food.
At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Diaowo Village gathered the exchanged materials, ten task pigs, also one hundred and seventy-eight, 30 piglets of about sixty catties.
Ten goats, twenty and a half sized lambs, two calves of more than 200 catties, fifty chickens, including five big roosters, and a lot of mountain goods, air-dried pheasants, hares, and bacon, are worthy of a big village, and the natural conditions are much better.
This is also related to the local policy, ethnic minority gathering areas, want to be more relaxed, and take care of ethnic customs, people themselves are this culture, they like to eat pork and mutton, there are many ravines next to them, and they are bold.
This business is enough for Xiao Yuan to keep busy, he unloaded 1,500 catties of cornmeal from the car, and no one knows how much is under the canvas anyway.
In addition to a semi-automatic, the carriage is completely empty, and eight task pigs are loaded first, and they are all standing, not that they can't be pulled, but they can't be put down, and what should I do if they are crushed to death?
Tell a few uncles that he will be back tomorrow at the latest, and if he is fast, he will be able to come back at night.
Xiao Yuan drove away, it was not early, he wanted to rush to Xiaojiagou and clear the arrears first, who is not worried about food, he will definitely not be able to sleep.
pulled a cart of grain and unloaded it into the village, it was already dark, he didn't care about eating, he drove away again, and this car cleared Xiaojiagou's accounts.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, Xiao Yuan was seven or eight hundred meters away from Diaowo Village, put all the grain on the side of the road, too lazy to toss, let's work hard to carry it.
drove straight to my uncle's house, they hadn't slept yet, "Uncle, you quickly call the village to organize people, the car, I asked people to unload the grain on the road in front of me, the road above is too bad, the cart can't come up, I'll go over there and watch, pay attention to the movement, don't make a big move." Xiao Yuan told a lie.
"Okay, you hurry over and watch, I'll call someone right away." Where would Peng Qixing think about it so much, he wouldn't ask.
Before I finished smoking a cigarette, dozens of people came down from it, and two donkey carts came over.
"Big nephew, why are you alone?" Peng Qihua asked curiously.
"Fourth uncle, there are some things that we can't publicize, otherwise my nephew won't be able to help you, I'll let them go, wait for you to transport things here, I'll take care of it, now food is more important than life, if it gets out, can your village keep it?" Xiao Yuan deliberately guarded a group of people to scare him.
"My nephew is right, why don't you understand the fourth child, everyone listens well, keep their mouths shut, whoever spreads it will detain his family's food, and he deserves to starve to death!" Peng Qiguang's majestic announcement.
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, the prestige of the village chief was absolutely enough, and they were all so hungry that their eyes were full of stars, who would publicize it? If he is taken away, let alone his clansmen, his own people will not forgive him!
A large group of people were like dumb people, silently carrying things, until half past ten, Xiao Yuan faced a large pile of livestock, moved his mind, directly collected into the space, and drove away.
Poor Comrade Xiao Yuan, who spent his night in the primeval forest, became a wild man who slept in the open for this bit of business and work, of course he was tidying up in the space.
There are so many pigs, only need to urge the big task pig to be done, but two calves can, just one male and one female, keep it in the space as a seed, who eats beef now, not only is a good helper for farming, the main thing is that beef has no oil and water.
This time, he also got the soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, green onions, ginger, garlic and chili seeds he needed from Diaowo Village.
Tonight on the surprise planting, urgently need vegetable oil, besides, peanut cake and soybean cake are the best feed, now for people to eat are good things, can be cooked, porridge, porridge, very delicious, nutrition is much stronger than wild vegetable paste.
At five o'clock the next day, Xiao Yuan appeared not far from Xiaojiagou, today I made an appointment to go into the mountains to hunt, he also came early, there were two ten-pound iron buckets in the car, no way, there were no tools to put it, so I had to do it myself.
Of course, it is soybean oil inside, which is for the two families, there are ten bean cakes in the carriage, a bean cake is twenty catties, and this thing is very durable, at most for a long time, a layer of green hair outside, just cut off with a knife, and it's okay inside.
Xiao Jincai had already gotten up, stopped until the movement opened the door early, Xiao Yuan parked the car, moved five bean cakes from the carriage, put Dengdeng's into the house, and without waiting for the uncle to react, he carried another bucket of soybean oil into the house.
"What is this? The bean cake from the oil mill, this is a good thing! What's in the bucket? Xiao Jincai asked his nephew in a low voice.
"Ten catties of soybean oil, uncle, look at it, I'll send it to my uncle." Xiao Yuan turned his head and went out.
I don't need to drive so close, I just put the oil drum on the bean cake and walk directly towards the uncle's house, this weight is completely fine.
The gate of the courtyard has not yet opened, but Xiao Jinxi and his wife, who have stopped moving, have already gotten up and are about to wash their faces, when they saw their nephew coming, they hurriedly came over to open the door.
"This is a hundred catties of soybean cake, and there are ten catties of soybean oil in the bucket, uncle, look at the arrangement, hurry up and make breakfast to eat, let's go into the mountain early." Xiao Yuan said to the uncle.
