Chapter 133: Xu Zhishu
Since he couldn't help his family, Long Hao decided to continue to do his own thing.
In fact, except for Dongzi and Zhang Qingyang and He Chengbin, everyone else was not much affected by the harvest autumn, and most of the work could continue.
I had to go to Murakami first, explain my intentions to Murakami, and win Murakami's support.
In fact, it is long overdue to go to the village, and the countryside can not be left, but the village must go. Born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, and most of the things to be done are in the countryside, leaving the village, it is almost impossible to move an inch.
The reason why Long Hao has come to this day is because he first found the county and obtained the support of the county. The county greeted the township, and the township greeted the village, so although there was no contact with the village, it did not mean that the village was abandoned. In fact, Murakami has always supported it, at least not in the way.
Saying hello to Sun Zhiming, Long Hao got on the motorcycle, took the rest of the rest and walked to the village. promised to take Yu Yu away, but he had to talk and count, and the little guy had been following behind his buttocks, so he couldn't stay, so he had to take it.
So, Xu Yi stuffed a bag of biscuits into the blanket, filled a pot of water, and hugged Yu Yu on the motorcycle.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I remembered that there was no one in the village these days, and there was an autumn harvest holiday everywhere, so Murakami naturally had to take a holiday. He turned around and drove his motorcycle west.
The village party secretary is on the westernmost team of Longjiayuan, four or five miles away from Long Hao and his team.
In the era of large collectives, two teams merged into a production team, working and eating in the canteen together, reading newspapers and studying at night, including rehearsing model plays, and so on. It can be said that you know the roots, whose door is open where, and whose family has a few babies, all of them are clear.
After a short time, Long Hao arrived at the west team. This team, like their team, is also under the roots of the mountain. The difference is that the mountain where his team is located is relatively low, and it is not connected to other mountains, although it is more than ten miles in radius, it is an independent mountain.
And the team to the west is backed by a mountain, a mountain range to be exact. The mountain range is tall and majestic, with an average width of more than seven or eight kilometers, stretching fifty or sixty kilometers to the east, connecting with other mountain ranges. It is also forty or fifty kilometers to the west, and is also connected to other mountain ranges.
To the south of the mountain range is the continuous Loess Plateau, with ravines and ravines. To the north is another relatively gentle plateau, one of the famous sandy areas in the north, and the county seat of Zhendong is located on this sandy land. In fact, two-thirds of Zhendong County is on the plateau, and only the southern part is the Loess Plateau, which accounts for about one-third of the county's area.
That is, this mountain range is not only the commanding height of this area, but also the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the northern plateau plateau. Tall beacon piers can be seen at regular intervals on the mountain, indicating that hundreds of years ago, perhaps thousands of years ago, this area was once a frontier land.
Long Hao drove the motorcycle onto a relatively gentle depression, looking at the lonely beacon pier on the hill, as well as the apricot groves around the beacon pier, and he was very emotional.
Whether in a previous life or in this life, when I was a child, I herded sheep, often climbed that high mountain, sat under the beacon fire pier to rest for a while, and then picked apricots from the trees.
In fact, the apricots are not ripe at all, and they are sour, but they are still delicious. By the time the apricots were ripe, they had almost been picked below, and only the treetops could see the golden apricots. At this time, it depends on the ability to climb trees, if you can climb up, dare to climb up, you will naturally be able to eat good apricots. If you can't climb up, or don't dare to climb up, then there's no way.
Long Hao is bold by nature, he dares to go up to any kind of tree, and he can go up, so he naturally picks up the most ripe apricots to eat. The lips of the straight food are foaming, and the stomach is burning and rolling all over the ground, but I still don't have a long memory, so I continue to eat after drinking a stomach of cold water.
This season there are no apricots, and some of the leaves in the high places are starting to turn yellow. For more than half a month, the mountains are full of gold, and then it is red, which is also another magnificent scenery in addition to the spring after the apricot blossoms bloom.
It's just a pity that the woods are not as dense as they used to be, and they are not as tall as they used to be. I don't know what kind of devastation I have experienced over the years, and it looks a little desolate from a distance.
The depression is full of cultivated land, and people basically harvest autumn. Most of the fields were filled with two or three people, and quite a few had four or five people, and some had only one person in the fields.
This is also the current situation in rural areas where the family is the unit. There is also a lot of land with a large family population, but the harvest is also fast, after all, there is a lot of labor. The land with a small population is also small, and the harvest is slow, and there is no comparison between working by one person and working by four or five people.
After a little inquiry, I found the village party secretary. Long Hao rode the motorcycle to the ground, pulled Yu Yu into the field, and sat next to the village party secretary who was smoking a cigarette pot.
"Uncle Cousin, smoke this." Long Hao took out a box of large front doors.
The branch secretary's surname is Xu, and he is called Uncle Cousin according to his generation. The two teams were close, and the surnames Long and Xu intermarried with each other and became relatives. As for which specific relatives they are, he doesn't know.
"Baby, put it in quickly, it's burning, it's not strong at all." Xu Zhishu smoked the pot a few times.
Yu Yu immediately got fresh, squatted next to the branch secretary, looked at Xu Zhishu's smoke pot, and stretched out his little hand to touch it a few times from time to time. The school is only separated from the village by a wall, and she often goes to the village to play at school, and she is familiar with several people in the village, and she doesn't recognize students at all.
"I think so, too. Uncle Cousin, do you have any paper? I rolled up dry tobacco. Long Hao put the big front door in his pocket.
"Give!" Xu Zhishu untied the cigarette pouch tied to the smoking pot and handed it to Long Hao, which contained a stack of torn newspapers. Murakami ordered newspapers, and after reading them, most of them took them back to wrap things, and cigarette paper was also one of the uses, and it is said that the dry tobacco rolled in the newspaper was very good to smoke.
"Uncle Cousin's family has a lot of labor!" Long Hao looked up while rolling a cigarette.
There were four or five men in the field ahead, and where the sickle passed, a wide section of buckwheat was laid on the ground.
"Three sons, and a daughter-in-law, if all of them come, there will be more people." Xu Zhishu was a little proud.
He was of medium build, slightly thin, and his gray hair was combed back to reveal a large forehead. Many of their generation have such hairstyles, and it is obvious that they are great scholars. In fact, their plot of the great man is much more than the hairstyle, it can be said that it is reflected in all aspects and is deeply rooted.
"Actually, my cousin doesn't have to work, and his children can finish it." Long Hao rolled up his cigarette and took out a lighter and lit it.
"I haven't been allowed to do it for a long time, but we can't be idle, so we will come out to bundle up food and do something light. In fact, he is not old, and he can still do it, but he is not allowed to do it. Xu Zhishu knocked the smoke pot.
Yu Yu next to him immediately took the cigarette pot and brought the cigarette holder to his mouth. As soon as it touched his lips, he took it off, and wiped his lips vigorously with his little hands.
It smelled of smoke, and she couldn't stand it. However, the smoking pot was not returned to Xu Zhishu, and he played with it in his hand, but he didn't stuff it into his mouth anymore.
"Uncle Cousin is not yet sixty, right?" Long Hao asked.
"It's coming, it's coming next year." Xu Zhishu touched Yu Yu's little head.
"That's a virtual year, and the first year will be the year after."
"Haozi, I heard that your family has hired a few laborers?"
"Uncle Cousin, do you know all this?"
"Look at what your baby said, I'm the branch secretary, can anyone in the village not know about a big or small thing? Those few laborers come up every year, and in previous years they worked in other teams, only this year they are in your team, and they all work for your family. ”
"Yes, this year is in our house. Well done, all the land has been packed, I have nothing to do, come and see you. ”
"It's not about your baby, it's all up to the old grandson. Your baby, when you meet a good mother-in-law, a doll in the city, you just go to our ravine to suffer. There is also a good neighbor, if it weren't for the old grandson's family, your baby would have no home a long time ago. “
"Uncle Cousin is right, I have met all the nobles in my life, including you. If it weren't for you, my Xiaoyi wouldn't be a substitute teacher, let alone a substitute teacher. ”
"If I had to put it aside a few months ago, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you, and I didn't want to see you. Recently, your baby has done a good job, becoming a figure in the township and county, and has also been registered in the province. My old face is also stained, although it has nothing to do with me, but after all, I am still a villager in Longjiayuan! ”
"Look at what you said, why does it have nothing to do with you? Just like what you just said, no matter how you say that they are all villagers of Longjiayuan, they have to have something to do with you. ”
"You kid, your mouth is sweet, it wasn't like this before."
