1532 The heat of winter

"I'm going back to Yangjiazhuang tomorrow!" Yang Xiaotao sat next to Comrade Lao Jin, with a plate of dumplings in front of him and a wine glass next to him.

Lao Jin's face was a little red, I don't know if it was because of drinking or because he was tired of going out today, and he responded silently when he heard Yang Xiaotao speak.

On the other hand, Ms. Cui was still interested, and was still discussing with Ran Qiuye where to have fun and what to go to tomorrow.

However, when she heard Yang Xiaotao say that she would return to the village tomorrow, Ms. Cui immediately asked what was wrong. Yang Xiaotao briefly talked about the construction of greenhouses in the village, and Ms. Cui lost interest.

Ran Qiuye thought of the master in the village and asked,

"Are there a lot of people going this time?" Yang Xiaotao nodded,

"The people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences plus the branch factory, forty or fifty people."

"It just snowed on this day, and it will cool down in two days, so you have to do it before it cools down." Ran Qiuye thought about it, looked at Ms. Cui again, and finally asked,

"Can the people in the village get busy?"

"It should be possible, there are a lot of people in our three villages."

"Oh! That's good. The two of them were talking, and Zhang Qing on the side saw Ran Qiuye's thoughts, and saw that his grandmother suddenly spoke,

"Grandma, let's go to the village tomorrow to have a look, I haven't seen the countryside here yet." Hearing Zhang Qing say this, Comrade Lao Jin nodded,

"Just go and meet your grandfather!" Seeing that both of them agreed, Ms. Cui also nodded. Yang Xiaotao then spoke,

"Okay, let's go back to the village together tomorrow!" As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Lao Jin, and both of them smiled.

Finally, you don't have to go shopping! The next day, after Yang Xiaotao got up and cleaned up briefly, he took the family out and rushed to Yangjiazhuang.

The car drove along the muddy road, the wheels spinning up the snow and hitting the sides, leaving deep car marks.

Old Man Jin sat in the co-pilot and looked at the situation outside with the Dragon Boat Festival in his arms. The surrounding fields were snow-white, and the trees by the roadside were bare, and from time to time a few gray sparrows flew by, and then landed on the same tree, and flew away in a hulala.

This combination of gray and white makes the world look exceptionally deserted. However, when the car had gone some distance, I saw the village, the smoke of the cooking, and more birds.

It is completely different from the pastoral scene in the impression, there are no fields, no chickens and dogs, more empty and lonely.

When passing by the village, Lao Jin also found that the village here does not look big, the houses are not high, and the houses are very distinctive when you look closely, and the bottom is about a meter with stones, and the top is all mud, and it is an earthen wall at a glance.

As for the houses made of bricks, there are not many. Yang Xiaotao explained that this kind of mud wall is very thick, the thickest one has been seen half a meter, and the general wind can't blow it down, and in winter, when the kang is lit, the house is warm.

Lao Jin was skeptical, but he didn't refute it. Passing by several villages in a row, Yang Xiaotao introduced the names of the villages and said some interesting things, which fascinated the few people in the car.

As he passed by several checkpoints and several patrol teams, Comrade Lao Jin clearly felt that this place was unusual.

Especially when approaching the farm, even if the people who inspected knew Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye, Lao Jin and the three of them registered, and even asked for the travel certificates of the three people.

After the car entered the village, Lao Jin also found that the fortress at the entrance of the village was not covered with a fire stick.

This Zhuangzi is really as unusual as Yang Xiaotao said. The car stopped outside the brigade headquarters, Yang Xiaotao jumped out of the car, greeted the grandmother basking in the sun on the side of the road, and then introduced Lao Jin and a few others.

Hearing that it was Yang Xiaotao's grandfather who came, several grandmothers stood up and stepped forward to say hello, and invited them to sit at home, full of enthusiasm and sincerity.

Lao Jin and Ms. Cui refused with a smile, and then walked home under the leadership of Yang Xiaotao. Pushing open the door, there was no one at home, Yang Xiaotao guessed that he should be busy.

Yang Xiaotao asked Ran Qiuye to take the old man and children into the house to burn the fire to warm up, and he went to the village with Lao Jin.

The two walked south on the frozen path, Yang Xiaotao supported Lao Jin, and the two were wearing thick cotton jackets, but in this wilderness, they still felt the cold wind swishing.

After walking for a while, Lao Jin exhaled hot air, stood on a small dirt slope, and saw a group of people busy not far away.

Yang Xiaotao stood beside him, pointing ahead,

"That's where the greenhouse is built." As far as the eye can see, yesterday's snow seems to be bigger here.

Snowflakes dye tree branches, fields, river banks, and mountains the same color.

In the vast white sky, the birds that occasionally fall on the ground flutter their wings and make a rustling sound.

A hundred meters ahead, in the center of a snowy field, dozens of people are busy. Some of them are carrying bricks, some are wielding hoes to clear the ground, some are lighting fires... The whole scene is like a giant puzzle piece being put together.

Even on a snowy day, their faces were covered with sweat and sand, and only the flying snowflakes shimmered in the sun.

The sound of "bang bang bang" came, and Lao Jin saw several people working together to lift a huge piece of wood, which seemed to be used for the column, which immediately caused a cheer on the field.

"Come on! Come on! The old man on the other side was holding his waist and holding a cigarette pouch and pot in the other. From a distance, these people are like ants, busy in the snow.

Even in the harsh winter, in the snow, the figure that cannot be idle is still showing the progress and strength of human beings to nature.

Yang Xiaotao took the old man forward, and the people on the construction site also found Yang Xiaotao, and after a while, he saw the ninth uncle and Yang Dazhuang coming over, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly introduced,

"Master, this is my grandfather." Mrs. Yang hurriedly handed the cigarette bag and pot in his hand to Yang Xiaotao, and then wiped his hands, and then shook it with Lao Jin.

"Grandpa Xiaotao, hello!"

"Brother, how are you?" The two white-haired old men shook hands, looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly.

Then Uncle Nine and they also came forward to meet, and Yang Xiaotao introduced them one by one on the side.

"Brother, your body is still tough."

"No, I don't have a few years to live, but I'm content to live now."

"Yes, sometimes when I think about the old days, and then think about the current life, even if I close my eyes, I feel that it is worth it."

"Yes, a generation has a generational mission, and it's time for young people to take it up, let's just watch from the sidelines." Saying that, the master groped out a cigarette from his body that he was reluctant to smoke, took out one and handed it to Lao Jin, the two of them lit it, and stood aside and swallowed.

"My brother is right."

"By the way, how much do you remember about my second child back then?" The grandfather listened, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and then reluctantly talked about the things of the year.

"Master, grandfather, you chat, I'll take a look." Yang Xiaotao turned around and left when he opened his mouth, and every time he talked about this past, Yang Xiaotao felt panicked in his heart.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking away, the master sighed again,

"Xiao Tao, this kid, has a lot of hard time snaking..."

"Back then, his father Yang Laogen was in our line..."The two old men behind him began to talk, and Yang Xiaotao followed Yang Dazhuang to the original pigsty.

"This time, we will use the original fence wall, add one meter to the height, and then use a shelf to prop it up..."The two walked through the crowd, greeting busy acquaintances from time to time.

"When the village heard that they were going to complete the task for the country, they were full of energy."

"There are people in every family who have made a strong contribution."

"The third uncle even took out the coffin board, and those big logs are from the village." Yang Dazhuang introduced while walking, Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, but his heart was full of emotion.

When the two of them came to a fire, they saw the old headmaster shouting orders to pour boiling water into the dirt and start making peace with the mud.

"It's cold, cold water can't work, you can only use this method." Yang Xiaotao nodded, and the old principal saw Yang Xiaotao, who was very interested, and stepped forward to ask about the situation of the greenhouse.

Yang Xiaotao didn't hide it, and told him about the greenhouse, but he didn't say what the grass was for.

"I've never seen this kind of scene since I entered the city, and now working with everyone, I feel like I'm ten years younger." The old principal was smiling on the side, looking at the busy crowd, and he was even more energetic.

Yang Xiaotao smiled on the side, and then continued walking. It was fast to noon. Everyone is still busy on the construction site, and the construction will start tomorrow, and the shelves must be erected as soon as possible.

Yang Xiaotao also took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the hammer, and smashed the wooden stake one by one. Not far away, Lao Jin followed the grandfather to help, holding bricks in his hands, handing bricks to the wooden shelf, and the two were busy talking while talking, and there were a few laughs from time to time.

"Eighty, eighty, eighty..."Yang Xiaotao muttered while holding the hammer, Yang Shishi, who cooperated with Yang Xiaotao in front of him, asked what eighty meant at first, Yang Xiaotao just said that he shouted energetically, and then Yang Shishi also tried to shout a few words, sure enough, he really felt a little.

A few of them went down to eighty, and their bodies were so hot that they couldn't wear their coats

"It's time to eat, big guy, come and eat." Just when the two of them smashed the wooden stake half a meter deep, they heard shouts from the side.

Yang Shi immediately raised his head when he heard the meal, and saw a group of women not far away, carrying wooden barrels, carrying baskets and covering quilts, and rushing to this side for a long time.

Yang Xiaotao's eyes were sharp, and the team also saw Ran Qiuye and Ms. Cui, and hurriedly put on their clothes and stepped forward.

"Quick, everyone rest and eat, let's move on when we're full." Yang Dazhuang shouted on the side, Yang Dazhuang's family walked in front, carrying two baskets of made two and dough cakes, and there was a smile on his face after seeing everyone,

"The big guys are all coming over to get the cakes, two for each person."

"Take it and go to Teacher Ran to get a bowl, there is a big bone broth in the back, and there is meat in it, first come, first served." Yang Shishi came to him and smiled,

"Auntie, there's a lot of meat in it, don't give a small slice, it's not enough."

"You've eaten the most, and you're embarrassed to shout." Everyone laughed when they heard this, Yang Shishi was not annoyed, took the steamed bun and came to Ran Qiuye, then took the bowl, and Zhang Qing next to him was responsible for the chopsticks, and then walked back.

Yang Xiaotao followed and walked forward, the same two cakes, but when he came to Ran Qiuye to take the bowl, he touched his little hand without a trace, and then harvested a big sanitary ball, which made Zhang Qing next to him purse his lips.

Finally came to Tietong before, Ms. Cui didn't know which house to borrow clothes, the table was very simple, when she saw people coming, she took a spoon to serve people, maybe she was inexperienced at the beginning, the first few times she was real, she didn't understand the essence of shaking the spoon at all, and she played a lot at once, and many people were half a bowl of meat, and a few people were happy.

Later, I saw that it was not enough points, so I hurriedly reduced the amount, and it was Yang Shi's turn, but it was just one or two. But Yang Shishi didn't dare to say more, someone had already inquired about it before, this was Yang Xiaotao's grandmother, and it wasn't just casually.

When it was Yang Xiaotao's turn, Ms. Cui's eyes lit up, a spoonful was full of meat, I really wanted to give it to Yang Xiaotao, and it was estimated that the brothers in the back would have to drink soup.

"Grandma, just get me a bone." Yang Xiaotao didn't want to be told by his fellow villagers, pointing to the bones in the bucket and saying, Ms. Cui was still hesitating, but when she saw Yang Xiaotao's expression, she immediately understood that this was not the time to be special.

Without thinking much about it, he fished out a large bone and put it in Yang Xiaotao's bowl. Then continue to cook for people.

Coming to the side to find a clean place to sit down, Yang Shishi looked at the bones in Yang Xiaotao's bowl with almost no meat and pouted, and then divided a piece,

"Come, let's eat separately." Yang Xiaotao shook his head hurriedly,

"No, you can keep it for yourself." Then he picked up the bones and sucked the soup on it first, and then said to Yang Shi,

"It's a good thing in it, I'll share half of it with you then." Yang Shishi was nibbling on the cake, and then he saw Yang Xiaotao breaking his two ends, his hands were forced, and with a clatter, the bones were broken from the middle, and there was a bulging mass inside.

Yang Shishi's mouth opened wide, and it took a long time to hold back a word, perverted.
