"Team Leader Niu!"

Niu boldly carried a hoe and passed by, and saw that Jin Huasao, Han Chunmei, and Ma Renli were holding hoes, rakes and shovels to divide the cultivated land into ditches, and couldn't help but stop.

"What are you?" Niu boldly asked curiously.

"Isn't this to rush to plant some summer corn and summer soybeans, our Captain Wang asked us to work hard and divide the fields into ridges, so as not to rain too much in summer and be waterlogged!" Ma Renli explained.

Niu boldly looked at Ma Renli's skillful use of the hoe, and couldn't help but nodded: "It's a bit like a farmer." ”

Ma Renli grinned: "Isn't this studying hard with our captain!" ”

"Work hard, work hard!" Niu boldly encouraged Ma Renli to say a few words, carried the hoe and left, now the weather is just right, lukewarm, hurry up and work for a while is a while.

After seven or eight days of hard work, Wang Chong and the three of them ploughed the wheat field preliminarily, and then followed Jinhua's sister-in-law and others to prepare the land, transplant seedlings, and plant peanuts into the ground.

This year is the first year, Wang Chong's more than one acre of irrigated land and more than one acre of half-slope land have all used the method of intercropping, and soybeans and corn are planted together.

The villagers looked at the planting method that was very different from ordinary people in Wang Chongdi, and naturally couldn't help but inquire curiously, and after learning that it was an experiment, they all looked at it with curiosity.

The land reform is still continuing, and in addition to the original cooked land, the remaining wasteland, barren mountains, and woodland around the village have also been measured one after another, and distributed to the villagers according to the household and population.

The reason why the task force distributed the land to the peasant households was to respond to the call of the state and encourage the peasant households to marry their daughters-in-law and have children, and it was best to have more children, so as to make up for the sharp decline in population caused by the successive wars and the inability of Lao Jiang to escape.

In order to facilitate the work of the support group, the land allocated to each support group member is basically the same place.

In the autumn harvest, Wang Chong's more than two acres of intercropping land, whether it is corn or soybeans, the total amount of the final harvest, calculated carefully, is much more than planting a single one, and the team members immediately decided that next year will be the same as Wang Chong, with a combination of intercropping and crop rotation.

With the water conservancy irrigation project and more scientific planting methods, although there is still a lack of fertilizer, the annual grain output of several people in the second mutual aid group of Maixiang Village is indeed much higher than last year, and the average output per mu of land is the highest in the entire Maixiang Village.

There are fewer and fewer people who come to Wang Chong to fight windmills and threshers, after all, these things are not too rare, the process is also simple, Wang Chong is also very selfless, and handed over the drawings of his own modified windmills and threshers and waterwheels to the work team, so that the work team can help hand them over to the county, so that these things can be popularized faster, so that the people can be more relaxed.

Before the autumn harvest, there was a major event, the captain of the task force, Zhou Yihu, called accordingly to go north to join the Volunteer Army, Zhou Yihu also sent an invitation to Wang Chong, after all, a sharpshooter like Wang Chong, if he went to the battlefield, it would be a rare big killer.

However, Wang Chong has a task in his body, and he is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, and now he has finally gotten rid of the troubles of illness, and he is not ready to dedicate himself, throw his head, and spill his blood, so he can only refuse Zhou Yihu, and Wang Chong is working at home and farming, and he can grow more food with his fellow villagers, and he can also support the front line.

Zhou Yihu could only say goodbye to everyone regretfully, and followed the troops on the train to the north.

Fast forward to 51 years.

In the past two years, the mutual aid group in the village has increased to 7, and the villagers of the entire Maixiang Village have seen the benefits from the local mutual aid group, and have chosen to join the mutual aid group.

With the promotion of advanced scientific planting technology, the output of the villagers in the field has indeed increased a lot, and the villagers have accumulated for two years, and the wind and rain are smooth, and the villagers have successively saved a lot of food in their hands.

Wang Chong took the lead in leading the members of the second group to raise poultry and livestock reasonably and scientifically, collect the manure of poultry and livestock, and put it into the dug septic tank together with the straw of crops and kitchen waste.

In late autumn and early spring, when there is drought and little rain, Wang Chong also organizes the team members to dig silt by the river, and sprinkle the dug silt with the insecticide prepared by Wang Chong with traditional Chinese medicine, and then dry and collect it.

It is certainly not possible to grow wheat on newly reclaimed wasteland, but it does not matter if you are a dry crop like peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes, and the yield may not be high, but after a year, as long as you work hard, work hard, and dig irrigation canals, you can also grow wheat.

Most of the emperors who were assigned to the villagers were on the slopes far away from the village, and Wang Zhong led the members of the second group to open up part of the land irrigated by the diversion canal into terraces similar to those in the south, and the rest of the places where the terrain was higher and the canal could not reach, according to the geological characteristics, either planted fruit trees, or planted corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts and potatoes.

The villagers in other groups also learned from each other, but now the population of Maixiang Village is not large, the production tools are backward, and the productivity is naturally low, so most of the wasteland is still in a state of abandonment, and only about one-third of it has been opened up by the villagers.

Two days after the autumn harvest ended, Wang Chong, Ma Renli, and Wang Wanchun were inspecting the situation of several main canals along the ditches, preparing to wait for this autumn sowing to be completed, and then lead people to widen and strengthen the irrigation canals in a unified manner.

Without hardening of cement, the ditch is prone to problems, such as the accumulation of dead branches and leaves, the accumulation of silt and blockage, or the collapse of heavy rains.

As soon as I checked not far from the entrance of the village, I saw the cow boldly leading the cow to the village.

"Bold, bought a cow?" Wang Wanchun smiled and greeted Niu boldly.

"Village Chief, Captain!" Niu Daring also stopped: "Isn't it almost autumn ploughing, buy a cow to plow the land, reduce the burden on the team members, and promote production." ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Wang Wanchun nodded and said: "In the past few years, the harvest of your group has been good, second only to Captain Wang and his second group, and your team leader has done a very good job." ”

"Brother Daring, there seems to be something wrong with your cow!" Wang Zhong looked around the cow, and the cow's right hind leg was indeed a little deformed.

It seems that Niu Daring is still the same as in the original plot, and chose a cheap sick cow.

"No one in our group has the ability of yours, you can make money by playing a windmill threshing machine, good cattle are too expensive, we can't afford it!" Niu said boldly.

Wang Zhong walked back to the front, looked at the cow led by the cow boldly and said: "Although this cow is a little lame, but this has good eyes, good spirits, and looks energetic, and his body is not bad. ”

"Captain Wang, do you still know how to look at livestock?" Niu asked boldly and curiously.

"Let's know a little bit about it!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Niu boldly gave a thumbs up: "No wonder even Captain Zhou said that you are a powerful person." ”

"It's too good, it's too good, by the way, you have to start preparing for winter irrigation in advance, tell the big guy team members one day, and when the autumn sowing is over, let's find another time to go through the ditch again."

"No problem!" When it comes to winter irrigation, Niu Bold naturally does not dare to slacken.

After inspecting the irrigation canal and the water wheel, Wang Chong returned home, and he had not yet entered the door. I saw a beautifully dressed person. Qiao Yue, who was drawing eyebrows and eyes, sat on a small stool in her yard.

"Captain Wang!" Seeing Wang Chong, he immediately stood up excitedly: "You're back!" ”

"Looking for me?" Wang Chong frowned slightly, Wang Chong really didn't have a good impression of Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue said: "Don't you have a lot of eggs at home, I want to exchange some with you with rice." ”

Wang Chong looked at the cloth bag placed by the door, was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Looking for me to exchange eggs?" Where did you hear that I have a lot of eggs at home? ”

Qiao Yue said: "Don't you have a dozen chickens in the backyard, and five or six are hens." ”

Wang Chongdao: "You go to Sister-in-law Jinhua's house and find Sister-in-law Jinhua to change, she will definitely be willing to exchange with you." ”

"Sister-in-law Jinhua's house is in the west of the village, how close are you?" Qiao Yue said.

"The point is, I don't have any eggs for you here."

"You have so many hens and lay eggs every morning, how can you not have them." Qiao Yue said unwillingly.

"Why am I lying to you, I really don't have too many eggs here for you, you don't know if I eat a lot of food, where can I eat enough food every day, just the chickens I raise, the eggs are not enough for me to eat." Wang Chongdao: "Besides, I am not the only one who raises chickens in the village, you go to other houses to ask." ”

As he spoke, Wang Zhong had already pushed Qiao Yue out of the door, and tied the wooden door leading to the passage to the front yard by the way.

Even though Qiao Yue stomped her feet in the outer courtyard and ignored it, Wang Chong didn't want to have anything to do with Qiao Yue's woman.

Ma Renlian, who was sitting on the edge of the threshold, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

The excuse for changing eggs is too bad, and the excuse for the key king to shirk is even worse.

Qiao Yue's body stiffened suddenly when she heard the laughter, and then she realized that there was someone behind her, and her embarrassing toes could pull out a courtyard, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, Chongma Renlian smiled, said hello, and hurriedly ran back to his courtyard.

Ma Renlian looked at Qiao Yue's departing back, and then looked at the closed door in the courtyard, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It's not the first time Qiao Yue has eaten behind closed doors with Wang Chong, but every time she sees it, Ma Renlian can't help but want to laugh, but it's strange in her heart, Wang Chong, such a sturdy young man, didn't even think about Qiao Yue's good-looking girl, looking at Qiao Yue's posture, if Wang Chong had that meaning, it was estimated that it would have been done a long time ago.

Qiao Yue, who returned to her house, couldn't help but spit a few times, it was not once or twice that she touched the nail here in Wang Chong, but every time she did so, Wang Chong didn't give her the slightest chance, and Qiao Yue's enthusiasm was almost extinguished by the cold water poured on her.

What Qiao Yue didn't know was that she was pushed out of the house by Wang Chong, and it also fell into the eyes of a man who was holding a bowl of freshly made poached eggs and was about to come over to visit her.

Ma Renli originally wanted to enter the door, but after listening to Ma Renlian's laughter, his legs suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't step away.

A few days later, the two groups gathered together again and began ploughing and topdressing in preparation for the sowing of winter wheat.

Although Wang Chong has gone through many copies and has hundreds of years of experience, he can't build an engine, so he can only use the most primitive oxen to plow.

Fortunately, after the summer harvest this year, the people in the second group pooled money to buy another ploughing ox and wood, so that Wang Zhong and Lao Ganbang played another ox cart, which was also bought by the team members, and this car was also shared by all members of the second group.

"Stand firm, first you have to make sure you stand firm, and then you have to press the plow down, and if you can't do it with one hand, you have two hands."

Wang Zhong faced Ma Renli in front of the plow, put the ox yoke on the waist, the ox yoke is also called the flail, that is, the bent wood on the neck of the ox, while pulling forward while pointing Ma Renli, Wang gravity is as big as an ox, a body of strength is more than six times that of ordinary people in the peak state, do not need to put the yoke on the shoulder like ordinary people can easily pull the plow.

But Ma Renli's skill in using a plow is too crude.

"It's not for you to lift the plow, it's to press the plow down, yes, hold it down!"

After three years of farm work, Ma Renli's skin is dark, his hands are thick, and his palms have long been calloused, which is completely different from three years ago, especially Wang Chong and Niu Daring often take turns beating him, and in some things, Wang Chong doesn't talk about it at all, and the work assigned to Ma Renli is never allowed to be helped, and Ma Renli must finish it himself, even if Ma Renli wants to be lazy, he has no chance.

"Yes, yes, that's it, it's not too much effort to get up to speed!"

In fact, it is not difficult to plow the land, Ma Renli has followed it for three years, and he has also used his hands a few times, and the old ganbang and the three monkeys have not taught him less, but this guy's heart is a little out of the ground.

But Wang Zhong didn't tell him about this, and every day he set Ma Renli how much land he would plough, and if he couldn't complete it, he would delay the autumn sowing, and when the next summer harvest came, he would deduct a part of his grain and distribute it equally to other hard-working team members.

Wang Chongke is not just talking, he really deducted a lot of grain from Ma Renli in the first two years.

At this time, food is life, and Ma Ren didn't dare to be lazy anymore after a few times.

After an autumn ploughing, although Ma Renli's land was the least, it was the most tiring one, but after a few years, his eldest young master's figure gradually hardened, and he looked a little like a villager.

However, Wang Chong patted his arm and praised him: "This performance is good, continue to work hard in the future!" The dealer should have the appearance of a farmer, don't keep worrying about this, that. ”

"Isn't that what you taught!" Ma Renli forced a smile.

"There's no need to pat yourself on the back, it's better to do your job well than anything else."

"Also, your interest in observing the weather is good, keep going."

"You've done well during this time, come to my house tomorrow after dinner, and I'll give you some rewards." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Reward?" Ma Renli was very surprised: "What a reward!" ”

"Aren't you particular about eating, I'll make you a particular one tomorrow!"

Ma Renli's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Why did he work so hard and do a good job, in addition to being afraid that Wang Chong would deduct his grain, he had also tasted the dishes made by Wang Chong, although it was just a simple stir-fried side dish, but the taste was more fragrant than that made by others, even the most common steamed buns were the same.

The next afternoon, Ma Renli couldn't wait to come to Wang Chong's house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the chatter in the house.

Han Chunmei and Sister-in-law Jin Hua cut meat and washed vegetables, Wang Zhong stood in front of the eucalyptus board and kneaded the dough, looking at the piece of pork belly that Han Chunmei was pressing under her hand, Ma Renli couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"What is this for?" Ma Renli asked curiously.

"Guess what!" Wang Zhong pretended to be a mysterious way.

Ma Renli looked at the fragrant lonely, daylily, minced garlic and ginger that Jinhua's sister-in-law was cleaning, and couldn't help but look up at Wang Chong, who was kneading the dough: "You won't be making fried noodles, right?" ”

"Let's try it later, and see if it's the same flavor you ate when you were in Peking."

"Here comes the firewood!" While he was talking, the three monkeys came in with the freshly cracked firewood, squeezed Ma Renli to the side, and shouted in his mouth: "Let me go!" Don't get in the way. ”

While lighting a fire, the three monkeys said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the backyard to help the old man crack wood." ”

"I ······" Ma Renli didn't know how to refute.

"The water in the tank is almost used, or Brother Renli will go to the well and pick up a few loads of water and come back." Han Chunmei said.

"Okay! I'll go! Ma Renli had a smile on his face and immediately rushed out.

The three monkeys raised the fire, the pork belly had been cut into pieces by Han Chunmei, Wang Chong used the urn upside down on the eucalyptus board to wake up, walked to the stove, scooped water and washed the pot, brushed it clean, and waited for the pot to dry out.

Picking up the pottery oil pot on the shelf on the wall, he poured oil into the pot and said to the three monkeys: "Look carefully, if you want to make this fried sauce, this oil can't be less, but it can't be more." ”

"Bring the minced meat!"

"Brother, give!" The three monkeys moved neatly and brought the cut meat to Wang Chong.

"This is the best way to make a fried sauce, and it is best to use this fat and thin pork belly." While speaking, Wang Chong poured the meat into the pot and said: "First add the fatty meat, after making the lard, then add the lean meat, remember to stir-fry, and wait until the lean meat changes color, then add ······."

Nearly half an hour, almost an hour, a large plate of fragrant fried sauce came out of the pot, and while the fried sauce was boiling, Wang Zhong rolled out the noodles and cut them out.

After the fried sauce came out of the pot, Wang Zhong added three scoops of water to the pot, stuffed firewood under the stove, and continued to burn.

The noodles have been boiled, and after cooling, put them in a large basin.

A large pot of fried sauce, a small bowl of chopped green onions, a large bowl of shabu-shabu soup, and a large pot of noodles were placed in the middle of the table of the Eight Immortals, and several men also placed three bottles of unopened white dried rice in front of them.

The six people in the second group sat around the table, Wang Chong was still in the first place, and the aroma of fried sauce filled the whole room, except for Wang Chong, no one stared intently at the tempting plate of fragrant fried sauce on the kang table.

Wang Chong opened the scene, and the two female comrades, Jin Hua's sister-in-law and Han Chunmei, took the bowl and quickly sandwiched the noodles from the basin and delivered them to everyone in turn.

"Our mutual aid group has been established for three years now, although it is mainly God also appreciates the face, every year is smooth, but also with us to work together, hard work is inseparable, this year's summer harvest, autumn harvest, are a bumper harvest, our two groups of per capita output, and the first in the village, more words let's not say, then we guard against arrogance and rashness, can not be complacent, to make persistent efforts, I hope we will live better in the future."

"Don't say more, everyone is eating with an open belly today!"

"I've been hungry for a day, let's eat noodles first, and then drink."

"Renli, try it and see how it compares to what you have eaten in Beiping."

One person poured a large spoonful of fried sauce on the noodles, and after mixing well, except for Ma Renli and Wang Chong, the remaining four couldn't wait to stuff the noodles into their mouths one by one.

"It's delicious!"

"Incense!"

"It's so fragrant!"

"Ever since I was a child, I've never eaten such fragrant noodles!" The three monkeys were so moved by what they ate that they almost didn't have horse urine.

Ma Renli was a little sven at first, but when he ate the noodles in his mouth, his eyes immediately widened, and a shocked look appeared on his face, and then, like everyone else, quickly pulled the noodles into his mouth and chewed them in large gulps.

Without him!

Two words: delicious.

"Eat slowly, don't worry."

Seeing everyone gobbling up, Wang Chong's face couldn't help but smile, and he poured himself a bowl of wine.

"Brother, don't drink alone! We have to give you a bowl first! When the three monkeys saw that Wang Chonggang had just poured wine for himself, he immediately put down the bowl and poured a bowl for himself, and also poured a bowl for the old ganstick next to him.

Ma Renli poured himself a bowl.

"Wait, wait!" Seeing that the three men were about to toast Wang Chong, Sister-in-law Jin Hua quit: "Although I am a lesbian, it's not that I can't drink, the captain takes care of us, takes us to do it, and has had a bumper harvest for several years, this day is getting better and better, although I am a woman, I also know gratitude, and I also have to give the captain a bowl." ”

Saying that, Sister-in-law Jin Hua had already taken the bottle of white dried rice from Ma Renli, went to the cupboard to get a bowl, and poured a bowl for herself.

Seeing this, Han Chunmei also took a bowl and poured a bowl.

Sister-in-law Jin Hua stood and picked up the wine bowl, and said to Wang Chong: "Captain, don't say more, it's all in the wine, I salute you a bowl." ”

Han Chunmei, Lao Ganbang, and the three monkeys also got up one after another, picked up the wine bowl, and it was the same.

Wang Chong also stood up, picked up the wine bowl, and said: "I have received everyone's wishes, let's not say polite words, this day has to go on, we have to continue to work together in the future, do a good job in production, and live a good life." ”

"Let's work together to do a good job in production and live a good life!"

"It's done!"

"It's done!"

After a few words, everyone's emotions were a little excited, and the wine bowl was brought to their mouths and drank it all.

The meal brought the hearts of the two groups closer together.

The peasants who have been working in this Maixiangling for several years have slowly dispersed the murderous aura accumulated in "Shuangji Town Swordsmen" and when they returned to their hometowns a few years ago.

With more and more copies of the world of knowledge and experience, and more and more knowledge, Wang Chong's pursuit is not so high, learn from Mr. Wuliu, and after a chrysanthemum picking under the east fence, the days of leisurely seeing Nanshan are also a different experience.

In the past few years, in addition to playing a few sets of boxing techniques every night to practice the blade, Wang Chong has practiced less of these piles, but the two-hour breathing and practicing qi in the middle of the night has never fallen, and the accumulated true qi in the body has become deeper and deeper, Wang Chong faintly feels like he has touched a bottleneck, maybe he can make a breakthrough after practicing for a few months.

After the autumn sowing, you can also grow some vegetables for your own food in the mountain land reserved by your own family, and the most planted radish in the village is radishes, because as long as the radishes are stored properly, they can be stored for a long time.
