Chapter 020 Getting a Son
"My!"
Li Laozhuan looked at the more than 500 acres of wasteland in front of him, more than half of which was sand, and he really didn't know what to say.
"I said son-in-law, what are you going to do with such a big piece of land?"
At this time, the land is cultivated and relied on manpower, and if you want to clean up such a large piece of land, you have to have how many people and how many days.
If it were only him and Wang Chong, he would have to work until the Year of the Monkey.
If you ask someone to help, it will cost you a lot of money just to ask for someone.
Li Laozhuan didn't dare to think about it.
Wang Chong said with a smile: "It's not simple, buy a tractor and come back, plough the shallow seeds, and plant a circle of saplings around, which is a natural barrier to shelter from the wind and sand." โ
With a strong sense of confidence and longing for the future in his tone, Li Laozhuan even vaguely felt the picture scroll in Wang Chong's mouth, slowly unfolding in front of him.
"A ring of saplings around?"
But Li Laozhuan looked at the Gobi Desert in front of him with no end in sight, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
More than 500 acres, about the size of more than 50 football fields.
"How long is it going to go?"
Li Laozhuan suddenly had a sense of powerlessness in his heart, if he just planted, it would be simple, the key is to raise it after planting, and to water and fertilize it regularly, so that the saplings can grow up and not die.
This is only a sapling, the sapling is better than the crops, more than 500 acres of crops, even if it is all drought-tolerant corn, then it must be watered, otherwise, the corn seedlings are estimated to be sunburned not long after they grow out of the ground.
If this is more than ten or twenty acres, I will grit my teeth and follow my daughter and son-in-law to serve, but now it is more than five hundred acres!
More than 500 acres, more than 300,000 square meters, Li Laozhuan suddenly wanted to cry, and for the first time in his heart felt a sense of powerlessness.
Wang Zhong said lightly: "Is it man-made!" โ
Li Laozhuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in his heart, Is this still what people say? It's good to say this, but you have to weigh how many catties and taels you have, not to mention Wang Chong, even if you add him Li Laoshuo, and the splash, the two little dolls in the belly of the splash who have not yet been born, that is not enough!
Of course, Wang Chong is also a human being, not an immortal, how can he not know the difficulties.
Just looking at Li Laoshuan's expression, Wang Zhong probably guessed what Li Laozhuan was thinking at the moment.
However, the great man said well, there is endless fun fighting with the sky, endless fun fighting with the earth, and endless fun fighting with people.
There is no need to fight with people for the time being, but now to open up land and dig ditches to divert water on this Gobi Desert is tantamount to fighting with heaven and earth, fighting with nature, which is fun and not enough to be humane with outsiders.
If every world is to lie down and win, all to enjoy, the lights are bright, the wine pool is meaty, then what is the meaning.
It's the same as playing a game.,When you're at a high level.,Go to those low-level copies.,It's natural to crush all the way.,But if it's always been a crush.,It's always a horizontal push.,There's no challenge.,Over time,It's inevitable that you'll feel the fun brought by the original crushing and horizontal push.,It seems to be just that.,It's good.,It's nothing.,It's boring.,Monotonous and boring.,Can't find the slightest meaning.,There's no attraction at all.ใ
On the contrary, a very difficult dungeon, the process of clearing the customs should be both tortuous and bizarre, cumbersome and difficult, and you may face all kinds of failures at any time, but in such a difficult situation, you rely on your wisdom, courage, and ability to clear the dungeon with the luck of losing it.
The sense of accomplishment brought by this is by no means comparable to the former.
Wang Zhong had already figured out the joint.
As for the hardship and tiredness, the effort and sweat put in, in Wang Chong's view, are all worth it.
But anything that can be done with effort and time is not a problem for Wang Chong.
The longer he lives and the more he experiences, the more Wang Chong will be able to realize the truth that only when there is something to pay is to be rewarded.
Although in the real world, Wang Chong's longevity is short, but every copy of the world is a wonderful life for Wang Chong.
Experience the various states of life, taste the hardships of the world, and read the prosperity, and you will eventually be at ease.
Especially after a series of hard work, gradually seeing the results and getting the harvest, that feeling, that sense of achievement, is far more pleasant than the joy of men and women.
Li Laozhuan shook his head and didn't say anything.
Wang Chong is just his son-in-law, not his son, and he can live such a comfortable life now, all relying on Wang Chong's son-in-law, Wang Chong's decision, although Li Laozhuan didn't understand or understand, but he didn't say anything, as long as Wang Chong knew it, he supported it.
"A tractor is not cheap!" Li Laozhuan has never bought a tractor, and no one has ever bought a tractor in Yongquan Village, Jintan Village, and the resettlement village of Miaozhuang, and there is no other reason, just because he can't afford it.
Zhuanghu people, since ancient times, can feed themselves and their families, mix food and clothing, and eat three meals without worrying, it is already God's favor.
Wealthy and with surplus money at home, Li Laozhuan didn't even dare to think about it before.
"In such a big place, how can you buy one!"
Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Not only tractors, but also saplings, seeds, and when the irrigation ditch is dug, plant trees all around." โ
"And 500 acres is just the beginning, such a large Gobi Desert, if it is all dyed green, what kind of beautiful scenery it will be." Wang Zhong looked into the distance, taking in all directions, full of longing.
Li Laozhuan was also a little stunned for a while.
"If you get such a big piece of land all at once, you won't be able to water it even when the time comes!" Suddenly coming back to his senses, Li Laozhuan looked at the Gobi Desert in front of him and said worriedly.
"Just because you can't pour it now doesn't mean you won't be able to pour it in the future!" Wang Chong probably didn't think about this problem, because in the Gobi Desert, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and what is lacking is not land, but water.
If you have only land and no water, no matter how many seeds you are given, no matter how drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant crops are, you will not be able to grow them here.
With the guidance and strong support of the government, the Yellow River irrigation project will eventually turn this piece of Gobi Desert into another plug into the south of the Yangtze River.
In reality, as a southerner, it is the first time for Wang Chong to have such a persistent feeling for water.
Li Laozhuan saw Wang Chong's calm appearance, and somehow, he suddenly had confidence in his heart.
The formalities for the contracted land have been completed, and the next step is to follow the relevant staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office, the Development Office, and the relevant land and land officials to determine the boundaries.
The production of the water splash is imminent, Wang Chongneng took the time to come over and take a look, he was already trying his best to withdraw from his busy schedule, and the matter of determining the boundary could only be entrusted to the old branch secretary, Ma Xiangshui and Li Laoshui.
The villagers knew that they were helping Wang Chong, and they all volunteered to help.
Pulling the line and driving the pile, defining the division generation, this work is not an overnight thing.
Wang Chong now has more important things to do.
With the splash of labor, I went to the town's health center to be hospitalized.
Although it is only a health center, the conditions are not comparable with those hospitals in the county and city, but there is no shortage of things, the old residents of Yuquanying and the immigrant Hangzhuang households, if there are babies who give birth, either they give birth at home and ask Wen Po to help deliver the baby, or they come to the health center in the town, at least some basic facilities are available, and there are professional doctors and nurses.
Within two days of the first lunar month, the splash occurred, and the time was not much different from what Wang Chong expected.
After four and a half hours, Splash successfully gave birth to two sons, a pair of twins, and the brothers were separated by nearly twenty minutes.
The old Li family has been passed down for several generations, and when it comes to the generation of Li Laoshuan, there is only such a woman as Splash, but I didn't expect Splash to be so competitive, and she gave birth to two male babies at once, which made Splash very happy.
Holding the two dolls, the smile on Wang Chong's face almost never broke.
On the third day after giving birth to the dolls, Wang Zhong led Shui Hua and the two newborn dolls back to Jintan Village.
The villagers who knew the news came to visit, those with eggs took eggs, and those with white noodles took a few catties of white noodles, and the old branch secretary was the most attentive, and killed the old hen he raised, and let Shui Wang and her mother stew soup with wolfberry and red dates to replenish the water.
Wang Chong's house is in the house, the door is closed, the curtain is blocked, the house is full of people, Shui Hua is sitting against the wall, his head is wrapped in a flower cloth, his forehead is wearing a wipe, his face has returned to normal, Shui Wang's mother and Defu Ma and a few village women are sitting on the side of the kang, telling Shui Hua women's family what to pay attention to when they are confined.
Wang Zhong and a group of big men sat around on the other side of the kang table, with a curtain in the middle, Ma Shouting Shui holding one in his arms, and the old branch secretary holding one in his arms.
"This doll looks so rich!" The old branch secretary was afraid that his hands would be too rough and scratch the doll's face, so he didn't dare to reach out and touch it, so he just hugged it happily, lowered his head, and was reluctant to move his eyes for a moment.
Ma Xiangshui also said with a smile on his face: "Twins can grow so rich, it's rare, the two dolls will definitely be healthy in the future!" โ
Generally, in the case of twins, the nutrition is definitely not as good as that of a single child, and the size and weight are definitely slightly inferior.
But Wang Chong's two sons, when they were just born, were one with a bonus of six catties and the other with a bonus of about five catties, and it has only been a few days now, and the flesh on their faces has gradually increased and began to grow gradually.
"Chongwazi, have you figured out the name of your doll?" Uncle Wuqua, who is usually not in tune, also asked with a smile.
The smile on Wang Chong's face was naturally the brightest: "Uncle Wuquat, you must have thought about it a long time ago!" โ
"The big ones are called peace, and the small ones are called smooth, and I don't expect them to have any big results, as long as they are safe and smooth all their lives, and they are healthy!"
"Wang Ping'an! Wang Pingshun! The old branch secretary muttered.
"Peace, peace!" Li Dayou also chanted two sentences: "Good name!" The meaning is good, and it is easy to call! Do you have a set of names for your baby? โ
"Brother Dayou, in the future, your family Shuiwang will have a doll, so just let Wang Chong give him a name!"
The crowd joked.
"Yes!" Li Dayou's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Chongwazi, think of a nice name for your uncle's eldest grandson!" โ
"Brother Dayou, your family Shuiwang doesn't even have a partner, so you just think about your eldest grandson!"
"Not now, soon! I thought about it in advance! Li Dayou has always been a master who does not admit defeat, so he scolded him back on the spot.
Causing everyone to laugh, although the joys and sorrows between people are not connected, but in many cases, they can also be connected, and the joyful atmosphere is easy to spread among the crowd.
Newborn dolls, everyone's jokes, are all catalysts for joy.
"Dayou, when Shui Wang gives birth to a doll in the future, or he will shout that he is rich and rich, rich and rich, and he is very easy to call!"
Five squats and fellow villagers of Li Dayou's generation caught Li Dayou and joked.
"Don't make trouble, I'll ask the heavy baby!" Li Dayou shook his hand at the five squats who spoke with disgust, and said with a disgusted face: "You don't know a big word, what kind of trouble are you making, people have both ability and knowledge, and the name you take must be better than yours!" โ
"That's it! What is it called, it is very vulgar! โ
"That's it!"
"You see that people are heavy on the baby, safe and smooth! It's good to listen to and remember, and the meaning is good! โ
The disgusted Uncle Wu was also brainless, and laughed and argued with Li Da with reason to make this joke.
Everyone looked at me and said a word, so happy, and finally all eyes converged on Wang Chong.
"The name should be taken by a respected elder, my uncle is still here, I am a junior, how can I trespass!" Wang Chong shook his head and said.
"Name! It's just a code name, catchy and easy to remember. โ
"That's it, Dayou, you don't have any opinions about my uncle, do you?" It's another one that doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.
Li Dayou changed color on the spot, cautiously looked at the face of the old branch secretary, and saw that he was still happy, looking at the peace in his arms, his eyes did not turn to him at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and blew his hair.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
The old Li family in Yongquan Village, although it is only a Zhuang family, but that is after moving to Yongquan Village, the Li family, don't say that it is Xihaigu, that is, it is put in the entire Ningxia region, put it in the whole country, it is a big surname.
After laughing and laughing, the old men left one after another, the splash was still in confinement, and from time to time they had to breastfeed the dolls, a group of big men, it was definitely inconvenient.
During the confinement of the water splash, Wang Chongke was busy, trying every way to replenish the body of the water splash, and drinking chicken soup for the water splash every day, and the patterns changed.
After sitting for a month, I had to feed two dolls, but the splash not only did not lose weight at all, but plumped a little more.
Li Laozhuan saw it in his eyes, smiled in his heart, and hugged his two eldest grandsons every day, and he couldn't wait to hold them all the time.
On this day, just after breakfast, Wang Chong asked Li Laozhuan to take care of the splash for a while, and he went out.
Seeing that it was almost noon, and Wang Chong didn't come back, Li Laozhuan simply made lunch for Shuihua, and after the father and daughter ate, Wang Chong still didn't return.
It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that there was a sheep cry outside, and Li Laozhuan went out to take a look, only to find that Wang Zhong was holding two ewes and standing under the shed in the east.
"Father-in-law, it's just right, you go to the back of the house and pick up some corn stalks!"
"What are you doing with two sheep?" Although Li Laozhuan was puzzled, he did not immediately turn around and go to the back of the house, and came out with two bundles of corn stalks.
"Patch up the water splash and the two dolls!"
"Goat's milk is a good thing, and it took me a lot of effort to find these two wes who are milking!" Li Laozhuan nodded, and helped Wang Chong enclose a simple sheepfold and spread a thick layer of corn stalks to keep the ewes warm.
Li Laozhuan followed and took back a cleaned iron bucket from the house, and watched Wang Zhong squat beside the two ewes, skillfully squeezing the goat's milk into the iron bucket.
After milking the milk, I didn't forget to let Li Laozhuan help feed the sheep.
Wang Zhong went into the kitchen and boiled the goat's milk slowly.
Half an hour later, the boiled goat's milk is served into a thermos.
Wang Zhong led the thermos back to the main house, poured half a teapot for the splash, the splash tasted it, and said with some surprise: "Is this goat's milk still quite fragrant!"
"That's, don't look at who did it!" Wang Zhong said with a smug face.
The splash glanced at Wang Chong obliquely, although he didn't say anything, but the smile on his face was even worse, and Wang Chong poured half a jar for Li Laozhuan to taste.
"For the splash and the doll to drink, what am I drinking it for!" Li Laozhuan shook his head again and again.
Wang Zhong said: "What about the two sheep, the water splash is safe and smooth and can't finish drinking, besides, this is the first time to do it, I still can't master it well, you can help taste the taste, give some advice, and see what needs to be improved!" โ
Li Laozhuan thought about it, picked up the teapot and took a sip, the taste was not bad, unconsciously, half a jar of goat's milk was drunk, and Li Laozhuan reacted after drinking.
As for the opinion, it was too hot when it was just poured out.
"That's right, the matter of more than 500 acres of land, you pay more attention, the land has been contracted, you can't put it anywhere, I will be confined in a few days, and my father is here, taking care of the two dolls is not a problem at all."
"Okay!" Wang Chong knew Shui Hua's thoughts, and didn't want to let himself delay his business because of her, but he didn't know that in Wang Chong's heart, she was more important than the 500 acres of land and more important than making money.
"I'm going to go to the city tomorrow, buy a tractor and come back, and then when the weather is warmer, I'll plough the land first."
Although the road into the village is still a dirt road, it has been walking for several years, and it is getting more and more solid, and those cars are not easy to run, but cars like tractors can still run.
Moreover, it is certainly impossible to rely on manpower to cultivate more than 500 acres of land, and only through mechanization can we make rational use of these more than 500 acres of land.
"It's good to buy another tractor!" Shui Hua is also a long-term vision, knowing the difference between mechanization and manpower, now the brick kiln, just pulling bricks There are two trucks, one is usually driven by Wang, and the other is driven by Shui Wang.
At the beginning, it was because Wang Chong bought these two trucks, which could pull two large truckloads of bricks at a time, with a large amount and a fast delivery speed, so that with the help of Director Zhang, they could quickly open the market, and in just over two years, the annual output reached the old kiln factory in the town.
Early the next morning, he rode a motorcycle to the city, directly picked up a large agricultural tractor, loaded several large tanks of diesel fuel, dragged the motorcycle, and drove back to Jintan Village.
Before entering the village, there were many villagers in the distance to see, have put down the work in their hands, hurriedly ran out to see, saw that it was Wang Chong who was driving, but did not think it was so strange, Wang Chong contracted more than 500 acres of land, has long been spread in the village, the villagers have also guessed, so much land, if you don't use a tractor, you can't fix it at all.
But suddenly seeing such a big tractor, the curiosity of the villagers must be indispensable, although Wang Chong didn't want to show off, but he couldn't bear the villagers to gather together, he just wanted to drive away and had no way.
In less than half an hour, the news spread throughout Jintan Village, and the villagers who didn't catch up just now were curious to feel that Wang Chong's house was outside the tractor, gathered around the tractor, and looked carefully.
The news that Wang Chong bought a tractor naturally reached the ears of Ma Defu and Director Zhang, and Director Zhang made a special trip to take a look at it on his bicycle, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After all, to contract 500 acres of land to Wang Chong, Director Zhang inevitably couldn't put his mind at ease, and now seeing the tractor bought by Wang Chong, it shows that Wang Chong really planned to give the more than 500 acres of land, and he has a bottom in his heart.
