Chapter 9 The fragrance of rice is greeted with joy

Wang Zhenzi left, and it didn't take long for Wang's father and mother to take Wang Xiaocong into the mud house.

There are several old red lacquered wooden cabinets inside, with many scratches on the surface, as well as small holes such as potholes, showing the baptism of time and adding a solemn solemnity to the mud house.

Behind each counter stood a man in charge of the corresponding task, three men and two women, old and young, and the only unifying thing was that their eyes shone with shrewdness.

Wang's father and Wang Ma took Wang Xiaocong to one of the counters, and behind him stood a peasant woman with round shoulders and thick waist and squinted eyes.

The palms of a pair of hands look more delicate than ordinary people, but they seem to be more flexible.

Squinted at Wang Xiaocong's family, revealing a bright smile, his hands flickered on the ground, pulled up a series of phantoms, and a thick book on the counter flew quickly.

The pages are dazzling, and finally they come to a screeching halt on one of the pages.

"Well, let me take a look, the bamboo basket task, you are the fifth to complete, according to the regulations, a high-quality bamboo basket is four cents, an ordinary bamboo basket is a penny, even if the inferior product is used, no one wants to take it out."

"But according to normal speaking, your family is good at bamboo, huh? How could it be so fast? The previous four people were all poor at bamboo work, and they were all at the ordinary level, which was not very worthwhile for this task. ”

The peasant woman looked at Wang's father and mother suspiciously, you must know that this kind of bamboo purchase is not a one-time purchase, if you send poor bamboo every time, it will not be distributed to this family in the future.

In order to grab time, I got some bamboo utensils that were not very good, but the gains outweighed the losses.

Wang Ma smiled and said, "Nier, you can take a look first." ”

Wang Nier looked suspicious, what's the matter, in such a short time, you can still make bamboo flowers out.

Out of trust in Wang Ma, Wang Nier still walked out from behind the counter and took out a few bamboo utensils for inspection, which were high-quality products, not much of a surprise, after all, in a few days, according to her understanding, Wang Dad and Wang Ma will at least have a few high-quality products no matter how much they are in a hurry.

But then, Wang Nier's face changed instantly, and every bamboo basket taken out of the basket turned out to be all high-quality products!

It's not terrible to have high-quality products, but it's terrible that in such a short period of time, all of them are high-quality products, which is outrageous.

The corners of Wang Nier's mouth twitched, and she said with a smile on her face: "Sister Li, are you so sincere to find me happy, these bamboo baskets can't be prepared by you a long time ago, right?" ”

Wang Ma glanced at Wang Nier, "You are blind, I don't believe you can't see that this is brand new." ”

The smile on Wang Nier's face was more ugly than crying, "I can't believe it if I can see it, unless you are both bamboo masters, or a little worse than bamboo masters, otherwise with the two of you, it is impossible to use all the high-quality products so quickly, right?" ”

"Or did you ask the bamboo master for help? That's even more than worth the loss, although it's all in a col, but it costs a lot to let people help for no reason, so it's better to use an ordinary level to pay the difference. ”

"Huh."

Wang's father and Wang Ma laughed at the same time, "Who said that?" I asked my son to help, but I still have to pay for it? ”

Wang Nier froze......

The rest of the room who noticed the situation froze as well......

What? What do they say? Let my son help? And then in such a short period of time, all the fine bamboo ware was made?

This translates to ...... Your son is a master of bamboo?!

Can't you? How old is that little guy?

Everyone is that I have little knowledge, don't lie to my weird expression.

Wang's father and mother glanced at it and laughed again, it was really refreshing!

At home, I was almost stunned by my son, and now it's good to come out and shock others.

Looking at the smug look on the faces of the couple, everyone didn't know that what they said was true, so they couldn't help but glance at Wang Xiaocong.

Just this doll whose bones have not yet fully grown has already become a bamboo master? You're afraid that you haven't started to weave with intestines from the womb, right?

When I looked at Wang Ma, my face was immediately full of sympathy, how much sin she had suffered when she was pregnant to give birth to such a son.

Looking at everyone's increasingly weird eyes, Dad Wang couldn't help coughing twice, just enough!

Everyone was angry, full of jealousy and envy, and then turned their heads to continue their work.

At this time, Wang Nier was basically cleaned up, and it was no surprise that all of them were high-quality products.

Putting all the bamboo baskets aside, Wang Nier walked back to the counter, drew a pen tip in a notebook, and then said to Wang's father and mother: "Or like before, take three and keep one?" ”

Wang's father and Wang Mom nodded, and Wang Nier immediately added a few more strokes with her big hand, and then fiddled under the counter with her big hand a few times, and took out a handful of banknotes.

"This is a five-corner, three one-corner, two five-cent and ten-one-cent, just repaid one dollar, the remaining three yuan to save in the account, one of which will be used to buy the daily necessities you need, and the other two yuan should be your investment in the col, no problem, right?"

Wang Nier asked Wang's father and mother, and Wang's father and mother naturally nodded, and said with a smile: "What's the problem, don't you all do it like this." ”

Wang Nier also smiled and gave the banknote and a special note to Wang Ma.

The small strip said a ten, Wang Xiaocong guessed that maybe it was the father and mother who invested a total of ten yuan before and now?

When I think about it, it seems that my family is not as poor as it seems on the surface.

After getting the money, Wang's father and mother did not leave immediately, but went to an area outside the counter, where some fresh grain, vegetables and meat were placed, some of which were owned by Wang's family in Wangjiaao, and some were purchased from outside.

Wang Ma brushed a few times, a bag of rice, two pieces of meat, and a few cheaper leafy vegetables, and the five dimes were spent.

Rice is polished rice, white flowers, used to improve life from time to time, Wangjiaao hoarded are rice and bran mixed miscellaneous rice, eat too much always feel not very strong.

Meat is not only used for eating, in fact, the main use is to boil oil, after all, the price of special lard is a bit unaffordable......

After boiling most of the meat in oil, it is a good choice to cook soup or stir-fry with fresh vegetables.

Then I used up one of the three and bought some salt, and without salt, it was absolutely impossible.

During a mission, the one you get back is actually less than one-eighth of the total value of the task, maybe this is the precaution of every colt, even if there are some changes, there is enough confidence to deal with it......

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since the handover of the bamboo task, and countless rice have bent over in large areas, and the yellow-orange-orange ears of rice are extremely gratifying.

In the past month or so, Wang Xiaocong's life seems monotonous and fantastic.

The monotony is that life is advancing as always, eating, grazing, mowing, digging the soil, and it seems that there is no ripple in the slightest.

The fantastic thing is that no matter what Wang Xiaocong does, the progress seems to be extraordinarily rapid, as if he should be born a farmer, and what is even more terrifying is that the fruit trees under the back mountain are really as the voice said, it only takes forty-nine days to become a complete body.

Because Wang Xiaocong went to see it every seven or eight days, the changes were amazing, until now, the branches and leaves have been lush and green, especially the longan tree, and even small flowers have bloomed on it......

Wang Xiaocong sighed, he seemed to have encountered a lot of strange things, but they all seemed to be going in a good direction......

The time for harvesting rice has come, and every family is preparing for war.

If you are quick enough to finish your own home, you can help other people to get it, not to mention the food, and you can also get some salary to subsidize the family.

Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and the family of three all finished breakfast early, carried the basket on their backs, and went to the field.

Each household in Wangjiaao is responsible for harvesting the part, and then transports it to a designated area in the center of the rice planting area for stacking.

At that time, there will be a special allocation of the people to be responsible for threshing, and only those who have strength can do it, if the strength is not enough, first of all, the sustained strength will not work, and secondly, the rice grains will not be clean.

In this little col, there is no threshing machine or anything, it all depends on the strength of a handful......

As for harvesting rice, as long as it can endure the suffering, both adults and children can do it, which is a surprise of how efficient it is.

So Wang Xiaocong is naturally a member of the rice harvesting, and he can cut it for half a day in the morning, as for the short period of time in the afternoon, the sun is big, he can't stand it at this age, if he suffers from heat stroke and severe sunburn, it will be more troublesome.

After walking along the ridge path for about half an hour, the sky was already clear to see things, and large patches of millet were hanging down, exuding a rich rice fragrance.

A wave of abundant joy suddenly spread from the bottom of my heart, this is the hope of the whole year.

This year, the sky is beautiful, the rice and grass are growing gratifyingly, each plant is hanging with a lot of fruits, the prosperity is good, and naturally every col people's hearts are beautiful.

Wang Xiaocong and Wang's father and mother stood on the edge of their own rice field, and the fierce fighting spirit burned.

Dad Wang glanced at his son playfully, and said with a smile: "Little worm, come, let's compare, if you can cut half of my quantity, I will eat one less piece of meat at noon today and use it as a tonic for you!" ”

Wang Xiaocong's eyes lit up instantly, so good? Daddy, this is a conscience discovery, pity my humble son?

During this period of rice harvesting, there will definitely be a supply of meat at noon, on the one hand, to celebrate the harvest, on the other hand, it also requires labor, and meat can greatly replenish the power consumed.

But even so, it would be nice for each family member to be able to divide two or three pieces.

Like Wang Xiaocong's family, the father and mother are three pieces per person, and Wang Xiaocong is two.

If Daddy gave me one piece, then I would have three!

Wang Xiaocong thought happily, instantly full of energy, and stared at Wang's father with a blazing gaze.

"It's a deal!"

Dad Wang laughed, "I can't lie to you!" ”

Wang's mother rolled her eyes, "Hurry up and work!" With the strength of this nonsense, several handfuls of rice have been cut! ”

The father and son were stunned, and followed Wang Ma into the still cold field water.
