Chapter 186: Another year of spring is coming

Anyway, the days go on.

Jiang Zhi took advantage of the fact that he had not yet warmed up in the past few days, and told everyone about diesel fuel and renting a tractor in the loudspeaker of the village committee.

This time, renting a tractor is free, as long as you pay for diesel, and you don't need rice, you just need rice, so after all, our family still loses, so we replaced the old rice with new rice.

Jiang Zhi also encouraged everyone in the loudspeaker that when his family did not have a tractor, he would manually turn over more land, so that he could save some food, and we could also save some diesel.

When everyone was still discussing how many acres of land their family rented a tractor to turn, the footsteps of spring were approaching. At the end of April again, in one night, the temperature rose to about 0 degrees Celsius at more than minus 40 degrees, such a huge temperature difference made all the snow outside melt, and the road was full of mud, which also gave a message to the villagers of Tashan Village that spring was coming.

By the next day, although the frozen soil in the field had not completely melted, many villagers had already carried hoes and shovels to the fields.

Our family is waiting until the third day, the outside temperature is about 6 or 7 degrees in the morning and evening, and the sun is more than 20 degrees at noon.

The sister-in-law and the eldest brother-in-law are responsible for driving two tractors, (the tractor of Lu Dongliang's family in the village was not sold, and was pulled by Jiang Zhi to the village committee as the common property of the village.) The second brother-in-law was responsible for arranging the time for everyone, and the others went to the field to turn the ground at this time.

The young people in our family still have a great power charm for each person. Maximize labor efficiency, try to save some diesel, other people's homes and ours think the same. The whole family goes out, and they can turn as much as they can, and only those who can't turn over can use a tractor.

It took three days for the paddy fields in the village to be turned over, and then they were irrigated, and on May 3, the whole village began to plant seedlings. This time, there was no one to help our family, and everyone couldn't do their own work, so we worked on our own. Men, women, and children went into battle together, and it took two days for them to be plugged in, whether good or bad.

Finally, I have finished the most important task of the year, but I still can't rest, and there are still more than 20 acres of dry land to cultivate. Or take last year's approach. After the rice in the greenhouse left, Dad Jiang and Dad Qu immediately raised sweet potato seedlings in the greenhouse.

After ploughing the ground, I began to plant corn, soybeans, red beans and other crops. That thing, grow. The beet gnocchi below can be boiled into sugar, and the beet tassels above can be dried into dried vegetables and kept for winter to eat, the taste is very beautiful, slightly sweet, and there is some root in the bite, and it is delicious to dip in some egg sauce.

It just so happened that when the profiteer Qiao came to pull sweet potatoes and cabbage a few days ago, he also told us that we should have more vegetables that can be dehydrated, so that it would be easier for him to buy and transport them.

Other families in the village are basically based on my family now, and they will plant whatever we plant in the field, and they will plant a lot of beets depending on what we can do in the future, whether they like to eat it or not.

In the process of farming, Jiang Zhi also took the time to find a few young men, repaired the pit dug out of the village when digging the soil, and laid a layer of wooden planks against one side of the wall, which is a place for the pigs to rest in the future, so another layer of straw was laid on the wooden board, and a shed was erected with bamboo on the wooden board, and a thick layer of straw was also covered.

A simple pigsty would be fine, Jiang Zhi and I took the time to drive the tractor out and pull back 30 little piglets. Then I found two diligent little daughters-in-law in the village, who came to the pig farm every morning, noon and evening to cook pig food, and cleaned once a day. Of course, it's not in vain, it's okay, after killing it in winter, give them two families a whole pig, and a family of 100 catties of rice.

Then came the construction of the fence and the digging of the ditch. This is a big project, not something that can be completed by one person or two people, so after planting the family's land, the village lords threw all the work in the field to the women of the family, and then began to work on the unified construction of the village.

Jiang Zhi didn't do his own work, and assigned all these jobs to these idle old men in the village. Lao Zhangtou is responsible for contacting Lao Yantou in the village who can burn bricks, and asks Lao Yantou to go out of the mountain. Zhang Fanyu was responsible for leading the people to dig the foundation of the water storage ditch and the fence around the village, and transport the excavated soil to the brick kiln to be burned into bricks.

Of course, the same rice breeds a hundred kinds of people, and not everyone supports the project proposed by Jiang Zhi, thinking that Jiang Zhi is doing useless work. If someone really wants to rob it, it is if you build a bunker, he can still think of getting in, so why waste that effort?

But this matter is a matter of benevolence and wisdom, Jiang Zhi does not force those who do not want to participate in the construction, but the ugly words are said ahead, if they do not participate in the overall construction, then all the benefits of the village this year will not have their share, and, although they live in the wall (it is impossible because a few families do not agree, the wall will be rerouted, so in the end it is necessary to surround all the villagers. But without everyone's protection, if there is a real day of danger, no one will lend a helping hand to them.

I listened to Jiang Zhi's words and scoffed, these words also scare and scare people, since the wall has been built, it must be to nip the enemy in the bud when someone climbs the wall, how can they let them in. So they are clearly not contributing, and they still enjoy the protection of the wall.

Jiang Zhi flicked my forehead helplessly, and said, "Then what do you say should be done, I can still force a few of them to go out to work." ”

I was a little angry and said, "Then let them sit back and enjoy it." ”

Jiang Zhi looked at my angry appearance, patted my head comfortingly and said, "Don't be angry, it's easy to age when you're angry, it's not worth it for those who don't know what to do." Besides, this is something I have already handed over to my second brother-in-law to find a way, he used to be a leader in the unit, and he should know how to deal with those thorns. ”

I dropped my big hand on my head and said, "Oh, you're pretty good at what you do." ”

"It's okay, isn't it good for you to be the leader."

I joked with Jiang Zhi for a few words, and then I brought this matter over.

In fact, those unsociable people are the old rivals of our family, one is the old Li Tou's family, one is Li Sanye's family, and the other is Li Sanye's nephew's family, they are very stopped before planting rice in the spring, so when raising seedlings, their rice seedlings are also distributed in the village, but these families are too unauthentic, and the rice in this field has just been planted, and they want to come up with moths.

Later, the second brother-in-law and Jiang Zhi said that the best way for these thorny people is to stay cold, the more you go to talk to him and do his work, the more energetic he becomes, thinking that this world will not work without him. On the other hand, if you ignore him, when he doesn't exist, when he is stinky shit and stinks him, he will feel uncomfortable, feel frightened, and finally take the initiative to move closer to the organization.

We took this suggestion and told them what would happen if they didn't participate in the construction, so we ignored it, and there were so many people in the village, and it wasn't bad for those people.

After that, Lao Zhangtou came to Jiang Zhi to report that the old Yan Tou who would burn bricks in the village agreed to go out of the mountain, but he hadn't burned for so long, he didn't dare to start his own stove, and he wouldn't build a kiln to burn bricks, he knew the village's plan, saying that the traditional brick-burning method was too slow, and if you want to burn the bricks to be used in the construction of the village, you can't get down in a few months, and it is too troublesome to make bricks by hand.

This old Yan Tou gave Lao Zhang Tou an idea, it turned out that there was a brick factory in J County, called Anhong Brick Factory, and the location was on the edge of the provincial highway leading to H Province in the south of J County.

In recent years, the villages near J County have built houses and yards or something, if bricks are used, they are all bought from the Anhong Brick Factory, if you can borrow the workshop of the Anhong Brick Factory to burn bricks, then you can save a lot of trouble, you know, now they are all mechanical bricks, which is much simpler than the bricks burned by the handmade kiln earlier.

Jiang Zhi discussed with me and felt that this method was feasible, if, as Lao Yantou said, we would burn enough bricks to build the wall ourselves, we would have to burn it for several months, in that case, this project might not be completed this year. Digging pits and building walls can only be done before July and after September, to avoid the hottest time in the middle of the two months, so there are no months of construction period for breaking your fingers, so if the bricks can be burned out quickly, of course, it is better.

So we are going to go to the Anhong brick factory to have a look, and see if there is any brick-burning machine left, so that we can use it directly.

After arranging everything at home, Jiang Zhi carried me on a bicycle, Li Cheng, Chen Ming, and Zhang Fanyu each had a bicycle, and the five of them set off to Anhong Brick Factory.

On the road, Chen Ming rode his bicycle and said, "Brother Jiang, do you say that we can encounter a road robber on this road?" ”

I said a little unhappily: "Chen Ming, can't you think of something good this day, why just came out, you just said this, do you wish we had encountered the robbery." ”

"Sister-in-law, you're really right, Chen Ming said before he came, you have to try the skills you have practiced in the past few months." Zhang Fanyu smiled and exposed Chen Ming's old bottom.

"Okay, if you see someone with bad intentions on the road in a while, we'll all point to you." I said.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, what you said, if someone gets in the way, you can't stretch out your hand, I've been practicing martial arts for 5 months, and in our village, except for Jiang Zhi, Brother Li and Chengzi, no one else is my opponent." After Chen Ming finished speaking, he didn't forget to straighten his increasingly broad chest.

"Xiao Mingzi, you have to know that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and not everything can be solved by force." Seiko pretended to be profound.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm here."

Talking and laughing along the way, it looks like I'm about to enter the county. (To be continued......)
