"Then do you know the master of the maintenance of the county supply and marketing cooperative, can you find someone to talk to you and let Laixi go over as an apprentice?" Wang Yanqiang asked with anticipation again.

He has many comrades-in-arms in the county, but they all work in other departments. If you ask someone for this kind of thing, it is estimated that you will have to go around in a big circle, so it is better to ask Wang Manyin for help directly.

The staff of the county supply and marketing cooperatives are very familiar, and it is easier to entrust people to do things.

"Okay, I'll find you a relationship," Wang Manyin did not refuse.

The next time I go to the county seat to deliver goods, I will talk to Liu Qingli's father that it should not be a big problem. By the way, ask Xie Liansheng, if you want, you can go together.

Of course, if you learn a craft from others, you must have something to say. These people come and go, even if Wang Manyin doesn't say it, I believe Wang Yanqiang should understand.

Regarding the affairs of the people in the village, Wang Manyin has always adhered to an attitude: as long as he finds himself, if it does not involve issues of principle, he is willing to lend a hand to help those who can help.

Seeing that Wang Manyin agreed very simply, Wang Yanqiang was a little worried: "Manyin, do you really allow you to open a repair shop now?" You can't make any mistakes. I see that the clothes in our commune are like thieves every day, and they are scared. ”

Wang Yanqiang has personally experienced the hot era, and he is naturally wary of some things. Although it seems that the mouth has been opened now, no one knows when it will be tightened again.

"Rest assured, it was already said in the newspapers a few months ago that the individual economy should be restored and developed, allowing individual workers to engage in repair, service and handicraft ......"

As early as April this year, there was a report in the newspaper that self-employed workers could apply for a business license. For this reason, Wang Manyin specially asked Bai Mingchuan about it, and only then did he know that there was indeed such a regulation, but the Huangyuan area had not yet implemented it.

"That's okay, that's okay,"

If others say this, Wang Yanqiang must be skeptical. Wang Manyin is different...... Wang Yanqiang trusts him very much, otherwise he would not have listened to what his son said, and immediately invited him to drink at home.

This trust is built over time. In the past ten years, Wang Manyin has proved his correctness many times.

After talking about business, Wang Yanqiang asked his son to continue pouring wine.

Then, the three of them talked about the changes in the village. From the package production to the household, and then to the large collective, the earth and rock dam was built......

More Wang Manyin and Wang Yanqiang said that Laixi could only occasionally echo a few words.

As he spoke, he didn't know how to mention Zhao Jianhai. Back then, the other party came to the jar village to station, but it was not easy for the people in the village to be tossed. Thanks to a letter from the educated youth, Zhao Jianhai was transferred away from the commune.

After this person went to Dazhuanghe Village to station, he also did a lot of things, which made people tired of dogs. In Dahezhuang Village, Zhao Jianhai also made a sensation in the whole commune. A few years ago, in order to win the award flag of "completing the grain task ahead of schedule", he actually forced a junior student in the village to drive a walk-behind tractor to deliver grain on a snowy day.

As a result, halfway through, the walk-behind tractor skidded out of control on the ice and fell into a cliff ditch more than ten meters deep. The tractor driver didn't have time to jump out of the car, and his body was crushed to the bottom of the ditch.

By the time the rest of the people rescued the tractor driver and carried him to the health center, he was no longer breathing.

This matter caused a lot of trouble, and Zhao Jianhai was criticized for this, and he couldn't stay in the Shibijie Commune at all.

In recent years, there has been no more news.

"Speaking of white, full of silver, do you remember one winter when he was stuffy?" Wang Yanqiang opened his mouth with the smell of wine.

"Why don't you remember, I don't know how many people in the village applauded, and they all said that the educated youths were angry for everyone!" For this incident, Wang Manyin still remembers it vividly. At that time, the village also convened a meeting of the members of the various families, which made people panic, and in the end, it was not found out who did it.

Later, a few things happened, and everyone privately discussed and speculated that it was done by the educated youth.

"It's not the educated youth, it's me who did it!" Wang Yanqiang reveals a secret that has been hidden for ten years.

"What? Really fake! ”

Wang Manyin was shocked.

"There can be a fake in this matter...... It was a coincidence. Didn't we discuss raising pigs the night before yesterday, Zhao Jianhai was too annoying to speak, and I was annoyed. It happened to patrol the brigade headquarters at night and see that there was no one around......"

Good guy, after Wang Manyin heard it, he called it a good guy!

"Uncle Yanqiang, for this matter alone, I would like to give you a drink! If you don't say it, I won't be able to guess if you kill me. ”

For so many years, Wang Manyin, like other people in the village, has always thought that it was the hands of the educated youth.

No wonder Wang Yanqiang made a lot of noise, but in the end he ended in a daze.

Now the reason why Wang Yanqiang dares to speak out is mainly because Zhao Jianhai stepped aside. Otherwise, he won't tell anyone else if he is killed.

The three of them chatted while drinking, and at almost eleven o'clock, Wang Manyin went home leisurely.

As soon as I got up to the cliff, I heard two puppies barking again.

However, after smelling the familiar smell, the two guys immediately wagged their tails in welcome.

***

It rained intermittently for three days, and the hot and dry weather on the Loess Plateau finally eased a little.

The road leading from the Shibijie commune to the county seat is paved with gravel clay. The road conditions are not bad on sunny days, but it is easy for heavy cars to sink into the mud on rainy days.

Wang Manyin had to pull two or three thousand catties of goods every time he drove a walk-behind tractor, and he would be in trouble if he fell into the middle of the road, so he didn't rush to the county seat.

Of course, the main thing is that I just sent it once before the rain. According to previous sales estimates, Guo Weidong can hold on for at least four or five days.

In summer, the sun is poisonous, and as long as the weather is good, the road surface will dry in the sun for two or three days at most.

Seeing that the packaged spiced melon seeds at home were enough for a car, Wang Manyin simply gave a few people a two-day vacation. By the way, I and my mother-in-law also have a good rest.

started to fry spiced melon seeds at home, and the two of them were basically not idle.

There was nothing to do at night, and it was cool, Wang Manyin took his mother-in-law to a few close-up contacts.

As a result, both of them slept in the morning.

Until the children knocked on the door: "Mom, you haven't gotten up yet, we're hungry!" ”

"Wait, get up right now," Orchid hurriedly responded.

After the two of them dressed and opened the door, Wang Lei went into the house again to ask for the key to the cave next door.

Wang Manyin asked puzzledly: "What are you looking for the key to do early in the morning?" ”

"Take a net to catch fish, the water in the deep ditch in front of the door is loud, I just saw the cat catch fish!"

Since the last time he knew that his two sons had secretly gone down to the river to catch fish, Wang Manyin had packed up his net pockets.

He handed over the key and specifically advised: "You can only catch it in the ditch, you can't go to Dongshan Pass, and you can't go to the river!" ”

At the beginning of the silt dam in Guanzi Village, the problem of flood control and irrigation was considered, and a water storage cofferdam was built in each earthen dam. The largest of them is two or three acres in size.

It is the existence of these cofferdams that can ensure that more than 100 acres of Sichuan land in the east mountain are not disturbed by flash floods. In case of dry weather, irrigation is also more convenient.

There is a lot of rainwater in the weir pond, and fish naturally grow. The deep ditch in front of Wang Manyin's house is connected to the East Mountain Pass, and every time it rains, there will be fish going upstream. If you take a net and cross it in the water, you should be able to catch quite a few.

When the children left, Wang Manyin Lisuo washed his face and sat by the stove to make a fire.

The orchid picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it up, waited for the iron pot to heat up, poured oil, and put in the chopped green onions......

Soon, the scent of choking nose wafted out of the cave.

When the meal was ready, Wang Manyin went out and stood to call the three children home.

I didn't expect that there were a lot of fish in the deep ditch, and at this time, Wang Lei and they had already caught seven or eight. The largest of them is almost three or two weights.

Sitting down at the table and seeing the dishes on the plate, several guys immediately began to complain.

"Mom, it's fried pumpkin again, you won't change your tricks!?"

"That's it, I'm tired of eating, every day it's either pumpkin or beans, eggplant, amaranth ......"

Wang Manyin picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the table and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Stir-fry some meat!"

"I also want to eat meat, and stew a dried pheasant at noon......"

"Eat, eat, eat, want to eat meat. Ten years ago, I won't starve you to death! Orchid couldn't help but reprimand.

If you change to other people in the village, it's good to be able to cool an onion in the morning. Some don't even cook cold dishes, and each person takes half an onion and eats it.

Raw onions are sweet and spicy, especially with rice, but many people can't stand it in their stomachs.

She was strange, how did her three children raise, and she became more and more picky eaters.

I don't eat this, I don't eat that...... Complain a few words every once in a while.

"Okay, I'll fry the meat for you at noon, and fry the fish by the way!" Wang Manyin made the final decision. With such a condition, the children can eat whatever they want, and there is no need to deduct the rope to live.

After breakfast, the orchid was watched at home, and Wang Manyin carried a shovel to the field to check the crops. Two days ago, there were strong winds and torrential rain, and I don't know if the corn stalks were blown down.

In just over half a month, the corn has grown to the height of one person.

In the ridges of the ground, dense weeds grow.

The reason why farmers are troublesome in farming in this era is because they spend most of their time fighting weeds. They are vigorous and can survive with a few roots. Stubble after stubble, forever hoeing.

But now that corn has established a growth advantage, a little weed has little impact and is completely ignored.

After inspecting the field, Wang Manyin was just about to enter the space, when he suddenly heard the sound of hula not far away. Curious, he followed the sound with a shovel in hand.

When he got closer, Wang Manyin found that a white-striped snake was wrapping around a hairy civet, constantly churning.

He wasn't going to take care of it...... As a result, the snake was frightened, voluntarily abandoned its prey, quickly turned around and disappeared into the depths of the cornfield.

Yes, seeing the half-dead appearance of the fox, Wang Manyin simply picked it up and threw it into the space.

As the space grew larger, he felt that it was a little too lonely, so he just put small things in it to raise.

After all, the previous one was only raised for four or five years, and it did not have any impact on the space ecology.

Not long after entering the space, the two peregrine falcons sensed the presence of humans and flew close one after another. After getting them outside and letting them fly, Wang Manyin began to wander around.

Not far away, next to the canal, sunflowers stand tall, and the flower plates are particularly huge.

According to last year's situation, this mu of land can harvest three or four hundred catties of sunflower seeds, and the yield is much higher than that of the outside world. Moreover, the sunflower seeds are full of grains, and the quality is far better than that of the outside world.

Wang Manyin once considered planting all the spare plots with sunflowers, but quickly dispelled this idea. On the one hand, if you plant too much, you don't have time to manage it on a daily basis. On the other hand, the scale is too small, even if it is ten acres of land, it can only produce three or four thousand catties of sunflower seeds.

If you get outside, you can sell it for half a month at most, and it doesn't make much sense to toss.

Of course, these are still good seeds to keep for next year and plant in your own fields.

The acres of cumin next to the sunflower field are different...... They belong to perennial plants in their own right. In the space environment, it can be harvested twice a year, and the cumin seeds collected are enough to meet the needs of the year.

However, although cumin has a strong taste, it can also grow fennel worms.

This insect likes to nibble on the young branches and leaves of cumin, and eats a large amount. If you don't pay attention, in just a few days, you can eat a cumin plant.

Because it was related to the supply of condiments, every time Wang Manyin entered the space, he had to patrol the fennel field several times to catch the fennel insects as much as possible.

However, fennel insects have a unique stealth skill in their juvenile years, with black and white spots on their bodies, which look very similar to bird droppings, so they are difficult to detect.

When they grow up, they are about the size of an index finger, and the color of their body surface also changes to yellow-brown with spotted stripes, giving them a rather terrifying feeling, and they are easy to spot.

Of course, the fennel insects are still very beautiful after turning into butterflies, with palm-sized wings and colorful colors, which are the famous Jinfeng butterflies.

In addition, this thing has secretory glands in its body, and when disturbed, it emits a pungent odor.

If you touch it, you can't get rid of the smell for half a day.

When ordinary people see it, they tend to stay away. Not to mention human beings, even the chickens and ducks in the space are respectful.

Wang Manyin caught a lot of them and threw them into the soil pit before, but after the chickens and ducks pecked indiscriminately, they were also smoked by the smell and thrown aside one after another. He also experimented with scorpions, and it turned out that one of the five poisons was also afraid of the smell.

Later, Wang Manyin had no choice but to drown the fennel worms in the water and feed them to the fish. But those fish don't care about the smell, and they eat quite happily.

He had caught fennel insects many times before, and he had experience with this, so he first took two plastic bags that he had prepared and put them in his hands, and then began to get busy in the ground.

In half an hour, Wang Manyin caught more than 30 of them, which is estimated to weigh a pound. Fortunately, if you leave it alone, at most half a year, the fennel worms in the space will be flooded.

After getting busy, Wang Manyin came outside again. Retrieve the two peregrine falcons and divert home.

At this moment, a young man in a Mao suit stood on the edge of the field, talking and laughing with three children.

Seeing Wang Manyin, the other party greeted him warmly: "Brother-in-law, have you gone to the ground?" ”

"Shaoping, when did you come back?" Wang Manyin responded with a smile.

The person who came was his brother-in-law Sun Shaoping, who is now studying in Qin'an City.

Half a month ago, the university was already on vacation. This guy didn't know what was delaying, and he didn't come home until he dragged it out. When my old father-in-law came over a few days ago, he was still talking about it.

"I just took the car to the Shibijie commune, and I haven't returned home." Orchid replied from the side.

"Say it earlier, I'll pick you up in the commune. Eat at my house at noon, just stew an air-dried pheasant! ”

"No, our parents are looking forward to me these days." Shaoping hurriedly refused.

"It's better to go over at noon, and I'll bring the air-dried chicken to the ......"
