The peach blossoms bloom, and the swallows come.

Entering the end of March, it seems that overnight, the Loess Plateau has become lively.

The willows spit ears, the aspen sprouts, and the whole field is covered with greenery. All kinds of birds chirp overhead, bees and butterflies dance...... Everything is filled with the scent of spring.

After Wang Manyin finished the meeting from the supply and marketing cooperative, he refused Liu Qingli's retention, re-burdened the thorn basket, and left the Shibijie Commune in a leisurely manner.

The meeting also brought him a little shock: several of the salesmen were removed, and the punishment will not be light.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Wang Manyin...... He belongs to the object of praise.

Before the supply and marketing cooperatives came to check, the accounts of their own sales points were clear and standardized, and there was no mistake in the slightest.

At the meeting, he was also rewarded with an enamel tea jar, which was full of a strong atmosphere of the times.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Manyin turned to a cliffside as usual and dodged into the space. The second crop of wheat, peanuts and other crops planted a few years ago have matured in recent days, and it is time to harvest.

This also means that there should be no shortage of food oil at home in the future.

There are also white-flour steamed buns...... Although only one cent of wheat is planted in the space, according to last year's output estimate, it should not be a problem to harvest 100 catties.

The key is how to grind the dough, which is a very headache.

There are three stone mills in the village, and people are busy before grinding almost all day and night. I carried the wheat with full grains to the past, and it was troublesome to be seen.

Wang Manyin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find any good way for the time being.

I really can't do it, so I can only sneak some stones by myself and try to build a small stone mill in the space.

After all, there are still corn, sorghum, beans, etc. to be processed in the future, and the stone mill should also be used.

However, it is definitely too late for now, so we can only harvest the crops for the time being.

The wheat field is golden and the ears of wheat are full, which makes Wang Manyin feel an indescribable sense of joy in his heart.

He sharpened his scythe a few times, then bent over and began to get busy.

Just that one piece of land, cut it all in one go.

There is no rain in the space, and there is no worry about the wheat getting wet. Just make a sheaf of wheat and put it on the ground. After nearly half a year of edification, Wang Manyin is now doing farm work......

When he returned outside, he had a few crucian carp and loaches in his hand. In addition, I saw that the ground by the ditch was soft and good just now, so I got two handfuls and prepared to go back and fry them.

A few days ago, Wang Manyin released fish twice. After such a long period of gestation, the people of the villages on both sides of the Dongla River have now fully accepted the fact that there are fish in the water.

In fact, ordinary people are busy from morning to night every day, and they rarely know where these fish come from and where they are going.

For them, having a bite to eat is already the best thing.

Even if someone wants to find ...... The root cause cannot be found either.

The main stream of the Dongla River alone is dozens of miles long, and there are large and small tributaries among them.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, before Wang Manyin put down the flat burden, there was a meow sound in the dog cave.

The two kittens heard his footsteps and ran to his feet excitedly, constantly biting their shoes with their teeth.

At first, when Wang Manyin brought the catcubs back, he was afraid that he would not be able to feed them, after all, they had not been weaned yet.

….

Unexpectedly, under the feeding of egg yolk and corn paste, they not only survived, but also looked very healthy.

What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that Rhubarb completely took on the responsibility of the cat's mother, pampered the two little guys, and let them play on him.

When a magpie hunts a cat, it will also come forward to protect and drive it away.

Dogs and cats in general are not temperamental, and there are often fights when they are kept together. Wang Manyin had seen cats and dogs fight when he was a child, and finally his eyes were red.

It's the rhubarb guy who is a bit subversive of cognition.

Orchid picked up a few fish and quickly cleaned them up. Crucian carp stewed in soup at noon, and the loaches can be raised temporarily and braised in time.

After eating fish so many times, she is already quite experienced.

Even in the village, it is rare to hear of a person who gets stuck eating fish.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, after eating and resting at home for a while, Wang Manyin went to the construction site early to report. He also had an idea about the silt dam of the second team, so he naturally wanted to do more.

As soon as I arrived at the construction site, I saw the laborers of the second team forming a large circle from a distance, and the focus in the middle was naturally Shang Zhimin. This man has a good personality, an outgoing personality, and loves to tell stories.

"It is said that there was an emperor in ancient times, seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts. Do you know the seventy-two concubines, that is, they married seventy-two mothers-in-law......

"So many mothers-in-law, can you finish it?" Someone immediately interrupted, and the words were full of envy.

"That's what I'm going to talk about next. One day, the emperor wandered around the palace and found seventy-two mothers-in-law and aunts all with sad faces and listlessness. The emperor was very anxious and hurriedly asked the doctors in the palace to treat them. The doctor found the reason at a glance, so he prescribed a prescription with a few big words written on it: 'Ten strong men,'. Although the emperor didn't know what was going on, he still asked his subordinates to do it......

Hearing this, Wang Manyin already knew the next plot. In later life, he saw this joke about "medicine residue".

But for others, what Shang Zhimin said was very novel and interesting, especially in line with the unspeakable things in the hearts of men.

It's always okay to be happy in the bitterness and not get it, but it's still okay to think about it.

Otherwise, how could there be so many sour koji in the Loess Plateau Xintian Tour. Some of the words are so bold that they simply can't be written in words.

Hearing "This is the residue of seventy-two mothers-in-law after using medicine", a group of people immediately burst into laughter, even Liu Xiangyang and other educated youths were no exception, urging each other to talk about another one.

Strictly speaking, this paragraph is a bit out of place.

Wang Manyin became more and more worried about the other party, he couldn't control his mouth, and sooner or later the society would teach him how to behave.

But he didn't warn, just crouched on the periphery and listened quietly.

At this time, Liu Xiangyang saw him and said with some excitement: "Brother Wang, I have finally found the source of the fish in the Dongla River!?"

What?

Wang Manyin was taken aback: Could this person be the roundworm in his stomach, he was still thinking about it in the morning, and the other party found it in the afternoon? How can it be!

Wang Manyin's face was inconspicuous, and he asked calmly, "Oh, where did you come from?"

The rest of the people were also attracted by this topic and pricked up their ears one after another, waiting for the high insight.

….

"Wudinghe," Liu Xiangyang said with certainty.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, everyone has guessed before that the fish must have swam up from the Wuding River." Shang Zhimin said extremely speechlessly.

"No, no, this time it's different, I have solid evidence. A classmate of mine was cutting in line by the Wuding River, and today I received a letter from him, which mentioned an incident. Not long ago, they had a spring news there, and many fish ponds were flooded. The fish that I raised escaped countless times, and my classmates caught fish by the river every day, and they all vomited!!"

"I mean, in previous years, I couldn't see any fish, but this year there are so many."

"If only we were by the river,"

"You young dolls have a lively brain, and you know everything hundreds of miles away......

After hearing this, the rest of the people praised one after another.

They simply can't imagine what it is like to eat fish until they vomit.

Wang Manyin didn't know what to say at all, so he could only silently praise "good teammate" in his heart. The evidence was all presented, and of course I nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, everyone was still full of enthusiasm.

Watching the earth dam be built from scratch little by little, Wang Manyin was also a little proud in his heart. According to Xie Gong's estimate, the wheat harvest will definitely be completed before the harvest.

If everything goes well, the members of the second team will be able to eat new rice smoothly during the autumn harvest.

Discredited home, Orchid has already started cooking.

When Wang Manyin washed his face, the rice bowl was brought to him. There are two poached eggs lying inside, with a layer of sesame oil dripping on them and sprinkled with chopped green onions, which are fragrant.

"What about yours?" He didn't move his chopsticks immediately, and turned his head to look at his mother-in-law.

"You're doing physical work, and you need to be nourished." Orchid explained.

Wang Manyin didn't listen, and directly put one in the other party's bowl with chopsticks, and then took a black nest and drank mixed noodles.

After working for half a day and eating two large bowls of noodles, Wang Manyin's physical strength regained.

After a little activity on the sidelines, the two read and studied under the kerosene lamp as usual without interfering with each other.

Waiting to lie down on the earthen kang, Wang Manyin began to think about how to deal with the space food.

At this time, Orchid's head leaned over and leaned against his arm: "Full of silver ......"

"Hmm," Wang Manyin nodded, continuing to think.

Immediately, he was stunned.

This woman is crazy, isn't she, why is she so proactive lately?

As soon as he got on the kang, he took the initiative to hold himself with both hands, and the meaning was very obvious.

However, at this time, Wang Manyin, as a man, naturally would not admit it.

Just like the song in Xintianyou:

One hugged the thin waist, like an old goat hurting a lamb.

The footsteps are raised and the breath is steady, and the dog is coaxed with a bun in his arms.

The white-faced finch has wings, and eats your mouth more fragrant than meat.

The white shirt is open......

Night.

"Orchid, what's wrong with you?" Wang Manyin hugged her mother-in-law and asked a little puzzled.

In the afternoon, I just listened to Shang Zhimin tell the story of the medicine residue, and I did it myself in the evening.

"Man Yin, we've been married for almost half a year, and I've never been pregnant. In the afternoon, I went back to my parents' house to deliver food, and my mother asked us to go to the hospital for a check-up." Orchid said with some apprehension.

"Silly aunt, didn't I tell you last time, the child's affairs are in a hurry, and they will naturally come." Wang Manyin slapped speechlessly.

No wonder he has been so active these days, and he is still thinking about his children.

In fact, after calculation, the two have been married for less than five months, and Wang Manyin is not in a hurry at all.

But orchids are different...... In this era, if the rural mother-in-law has no children within a year of marriage, she will be suspected of not having children.

So that when they speak in front of people, their voices are lowered by three points.

Knowing that there has always been a shadow in Orchid's heart, Wang Manyin had to promise: "After a while, when the construction of the earthen dam in the village is completed, we will take the time to go to the county seat to do an inspection."

In his opinion, the inspection is secondary, and it should be regarded as a wedding tour.

From marriage to now, Orchid has never been to the original West County except for going to Shibijie Commune to catch a few fairs. If you have the chance, you can make up the wedding photo by the way.

I was too anxious to get married a few years ago, and all aspects were relatively simple, and it has always been Wang Manyin's regret that there is no wedding photo.
