Keshan disease and large bone disease are typical endemic diseases of the Loess Plateau, and they are said to be related to selenium deficiency. Among them, Keshan disease is a heart disease, and there is a lack of medical treatment in this era, and if the treatment is not timely, sudden death is easy to occur.

The commune of Shibijie is better, and there are not many people who are sick. In some places, it is very terrifying, in the words of medical staff, "one winter, a disease of Keshan, will destroy the lives of a village!" ”

Wang Manyin learned from memory that in the early years, more than 300 of the 700 people in a village on the Loess Plateau died of illness in Dekeshan.

However, the symptoms of large bone disease are mild, and the main problem is in the bones and joints. This disease is not allowed to stay in a damp place for a long time, otherwise it will get worse and worse.

So Wang Fuchang knew that watering was easy, and he didn't want to continue to do it.

"Row ......"

Knowing that people were really thinking about themselves, Wang Manyin immediately nodded and agreed.

For him, it was just the right job.

Usually, as soon as the pumping machine is turned on, you basically don't have to worry about it, as long as you add oil and water to the walk-behind tractor every once in a while.

What's more important is that the rice fields in the Dongshan Pass and other plots are not next to each other, even if you are really lazy, other laborers can't see it.

As for Liu Xiangyang...... With the relationship between the two, the other party will definitely not say anything.

However, Wang Manyin did not plan to completely let go of himself. After all, these more than a dozen acres of paddy fields are related to the hope of the second team, and everyone has been working tirelessly for more than two months, and now they are in his hands, of course, they are well managed.

Leaving from Wang Lianshun's house, Wang Manyin walked to a firewood fence on the side of the road, and subconsciously stopped.

At Zhao Jianhai's strong request, the two public toilets in Jarzi Village were built in just one day.

The styling is very simple and takes little effort. It is to find a large pond in an open space, pile up a squatting pit with stones on the edge, and then build a circle of corn stalks around the perimeter as a fence.

Speaking of which, no matter what Zhao Jianhai's starting point is, it is still worth affirming whether he has done a good thing for the village.

After the visit, Wang Manyin let go of the water inside, and then turned the road and walked towards the east mountain pass.

There were still about 100 meters away from the rice paddies, and I heard the sound of frogs coming one after another. In the distance, several waterfowl were also seen flying through the sky.

In just one month, the rice seedlings in the field have grown to a height of 30 centimeters. It is lush and neat, and it looks very gratifying.

In a trance, Wang Manyin thought that he had come to the Jiangnan Water Town.

For this rice field, he wanted to secretly water some space spring water into it several times. But after thinking about it carefully, I didn't do it in the end.

There should be a process for everything, and rice planting in Shibi is a new thing, and it is best to wait until after the autumn harvest to see the situation.

The output in the first year is too high, and I am afraid that it will not end well in the future, so it is better to be steady, after all, I don't plan to put a satellite.

What's more, with the biological fertilizer prepared by my brother-in-law, this year's harvest should be good.

Wang Manyin was thinking about things, and suddenly heard an exclamation coming from the rice field. Following the sound, he found that a few broken babies were on a ridge, and he didn't know what they were busy with.

Now the people in the village have just left work, and these guys are already out of school. It is estimated that he didn't return home, so he went straight to the rice field.

"Maodan, what are you doing? Don't step on the fields! Wang Manyin stood on the side and shouted.

Hearing the voice, a group of broken babies got up one after another.

Mao Dan replied more excitedly: "Uncle Man Yin, we are fishing for loaches, and there are a lot of ...... in the rice field."

Wang Manyin walked closer and noticed that each of these guys was holding a wooden stick in his hand. Cotton thread is tied to the other end of the stick, and a fish hook made of embroidery needles hangs from the bottom.

The bait is an earthworm, and the sorghum stalk half a finger length is used as a float.

Not to mention, the harvest of a few broken babies is not small.

At this time, I have already caught three loaches, plus a small crucian carp.

Thanks to the abundant water source, and the vigorous growth of various wild grasses on the ridges of the ditch, it also provides sufficient food for various small fish.

In particular, loach yellow eel naturally likes to drill holes and make holes, which is more suitable for the rice field environment. Wang Manyin roughly estimated that there would be at least twenty or thirty catties of fish in more than a dozen acres of fields.

This is still the result of his deliberate control, and he didn't put too much at a time. Rather, it takes a step-by-step approach, many times and in small quantities.

However, at this moment, seeing the broken babies catching fish, Wang Manyin thought of one of the benefits of managing the rice field: it is very reasonable to take fish home in the future.

When you come over tomorrow, you can try it with a net pocket, just stop a water outlet, and I'm sure you'll catch a few.

After admonishing a few broken babies, he walked in the direction of the earthen dam.

I didn't see Liu Xiangyang nearby, so I guess I'm resting in the grass shed at this time.

Entering it, Wang Manyin really saw the other party lying on the earthen kang, holding a notebook in his hand and reading it with relish.

Feeling that the door was dark, Liu Xiangyang raised his head and hurriedly greeted: "Brother Wang, why are you here, you didn't go to work in the afternoon?" ”

"Your sister-in-law is now going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to learn tailoring, and I am alone at home, I have to cook at noon, and I have to call the agency to sell things, and I can't catch up with the work time. So the team arranged for me to come over for Uncle Fu and be a partner with Ling. ”

"That's great, I can't talk to Uncle Fu, I'm bored."

For Wang Manyin's arrival, Liu Xiangyang of course welcomes it. He always felt that he could learn a lot by talking to each other.

Wang Manyin pointed to the notebook and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" So dedicated. ”

"The manuscript was borrowed from the intellectuals of Ishikawa Village two days ago, and it is quite interesting."

As he spoke, Liu Xiangyang handed over the rotten notebook.

Wang Manyin took it and glanced at it, only to see a few big characters "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" written in a pen on the first page, and there were character introductions and story introductions below.

His face suddenly became serious: "Xiangyang, you'd better be careful with these hand-copied things, it's a trouble for people to see after all." You also know what happened to Shang Zhimin. ”

In this era, there was a lack of various leisure literary and artistic books, but people had a demand, so many manuscript literature was widely circulated. "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" is the most famous one, and its popularity far exceeds that of the Internet written by the gods of later generations.

The influence is too great to imagine.

Wang Manyin once read statistics on the Internet, and it was copied tens of millions of times.

Moreover, in the process of hand-copying and circulation, many people spontaneously carried out secondary creations and adapted them into various versions, making the storyline more and more mysterious.

In addition, there are "The Second Handshake", "The Secret of Room 303" and so on, which are also popular all over the country.

However, there are also many people who make mistakes by copying.

If no one takes this kind of thing seriously, then everything is fine.

If you want to get it really down, there will definitely be trouble.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang have a good relationship, and they treat each other as half a younger brother in their hearts, so they naturally don't want him to fall in trouble.

"I'm just bored to look through a few times, and I'll return it to others as soon as I'm done." Liu Xiangyang opened his mouth in a sneer. He knew what was wrong, and he didn't feel resentful in his heart.

"In short, you'd better stop showing it to anyone else, don't copy it yourself, and return it as soon as possible."

"Yes, I know. Brother Wang, don't worry, I'm almost done, and I'll give it to others tomorrow ......"

Liu Xiangyang nodded again.

Seeing that he really listened, Wang Manyin did not continue to pay attention, but asked about the watering situation.

Only then did they know that the two of them were not only responsible for the dozen acres of rice fields in Dongshan Pass, but also the sorghum seedlings in the nearby cliff ditch had to be irrigated from time to time.

According to Xie Gong, the silt dam is a long-term project, which should be dominated by small clusters, combining large, medium and small to form a certain ladder drop.

Therefore, when the other party was planning, an area was deliberately reserved in the cliff ditch in front of the rice field to facilitate the second phase of the project.

After the rain a few days ago, Wang Lianshun saw that the moisture of the land was good, so he took the people to scatter a lot of sorghum seeds. In his words, you can't watch the sky.

However, if you have water, you need to water it every once in a while.

***

In the next few days, Wang Manyin's days became very regular.

When he gets up in the morning, he guards the outlet to greet customers, and Orchid lights a fire to cook.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, coupled with a torrential rain a few days ago, there are more and more scorpions in and out of the village. Especially at night, many insects are phototaxis, which will attract scorpions to constantly appear outside the cave to feed, and it is very easy to catch.

Because of this, there has been an endless stream of broken babies from the three villages who have come to sell scorpions recently.

These guys are afraid that the scorpion will die if it is left for too long, so they often rush over early in the morning to sell it.

They don't catch much, usually ten or twenty. It's just that it's too troublesome to count one by one, and Wang Manyin can't have a good breakfast.

As for the orchid, after eating, I hurriedly followed my younger brother to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the family naturally couldn't get involved.

Sun Shaoan used to live in the dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperatives most of the time, and since his sister learned tailoring, he has served as an escort and returns to Shuangshui Village every night to live.

In fact, Wang Manyin thought about getting a bicycle for Orchid, and it was convenient to travel back and forth. The key is that he didn't even buy the village party secretary Wang Manhoard, and he really didn't want to take the lead.

But that day shouldn't be far away...... Last time Wang Manyin went to deliver the goods, he heard Guo Chaowang mention that the county has recently purchased 300 bicycles from other places, which will be allocated to a part of the supply and marketing cooperatives below.

These bicycles must have been in close proximity to the commune staff and the village party secretaries. As long as someone starts, other village party secretaries should also buy it.

When the time comes, you can find an opportunity to get a ticket and buy one in the name of your brother-in-law.

Wang Manyin has been busy with this wave, and there is basically nothing to do during the day. After going to work, the thing to do is very simple, nothing more than carrying a shovel to patrol the fields and check the situation everywhere.

Look where the ditch is clogged and needs to be dug up in time. If there is a ridge being trampled on, add a few shovels of soil to the homeopathic trend.

In addition to that, it is pumped irrigation.

Of course, Wang Manyin is not completely idle. When it was cool, he would pull Liu Xiangyang to dig a ditch, ready to go straight to the sorghum field at the edge of the field.

Now that he has accepted the task, Wang Manyin certainly wants to do it well.

Digging a ditch is not a difficult task, and I have done a lot in the space.

There was no one to supervise, and the two of them were half playing and half doing things, and they didn't feel tired. When it was hot, he called it a day early and went back to the hut to stay.
