"Obediently, two thousand yuan is worth the work that my family has earned for more than ten years...... Full of silver is really generous! ”

"As I said earlier, it's full of silver brains. People fry spiced melon seeds, pull a car to the county every three or five times, and make a lot of money! ”

"In one year, it is estimated that I can earn five or six thousand yuan ......"

"More than that, at least 10,000 yuan!"

For a while, the whole venue exploded.

Wang Manyin fried spiced melon seeds to make money, everyone in the village knew it, even if it was useless to cry poor. Just look at a truckload of raw materials pulled home, and then another truckload sent to the county seat...... Fools know that they must have earned a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been stolen by the three thieves last winter.

But there are all kinds of speculations about how much you earn.

Now one can finally determine that it is definitely more than two thousand.

Regarding this situation, Wang Manyin had already thought of it at the beginning of the donation, so he didn't care about the discussions of the people around him at all.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" After waiting for two or three minutes, Wang Manchu reached out and knocked on the table, telling everyone below to stop the small meeting.

"During the day, several of our village cadres summed up that it would take about 5,000 yuan to rebuild the primary school in Jarzi Village this time, so there is still a shortage of about 3,000 yuan. Xiuzeng and I plan to go to the county in the next two days to find Director Bai to solve some of the ...... In addition, every household in our village has to donate. The minimum is ten, and there is no limit to more. Village cadres take the lead!! ”

After speaking, he nodded at Wang Xiuzeng next to him.

Wang Xiuzeng opened the artificial leather satchel, took out a stack of money from it and said, "This is the two thousand yuan sent by Manyin in the morning,"

"I'll donate fifty, write it down!" Under everyone's gaze, Wang Manhoard five banknotes of workers, peasants and soldiers from his pocket.

Wang Xiuzeng just remembered, and Wang Yanqiang also took out the thirty yuan he had prepared.

Then came Wang Lianshun......

In this era, the collection of donations is a task, and there is no such thing as voluntary.

Moreover, the large collective has just been disbanded for more than half a year, and there is still awe in people's hearts.

So when Wang Manchu said that every family would donate money to collect money, although some people muttered a few words, no one dared to stand up and oppose it.

Especially when they saw that the village cadres really paid for it, they didn't have anything to say.

Of course, there is another important reason. Almost every family in Jar Village has children going to school, and the classrooms are also built for their own convenience.

After deciding on the donation, Wang Manchu began to distribute labor again.

A hoop ten holes in the cave, the need for manpower can not be missing, each family must produce one.

As for the style of the cave, it was also decided at the meeting...... Direct flat hoop brick kiln.

The caves inhabited in the villages around the Shibijie Commune are roughly divided into three generations.

In the early days, most of the suffering families lived in the backing kilns. This type of cave construction is simple and very low-cost. As long as you find a suitable cliff face, you can use a pickaxe to dig out a hole to live in.

However, the kiln has no bones, and it is easy to crack and collapse after heavy rain or root erosion.

The second generation is the interface kiln. It is to splice a section of bricks or stones at the front end of the dug cave to build the eaves of the kiln. Experienced people know that the kiln collapses first.

This can well maintain the water and soil of the cliff face and prevent collapse.

Wealthy people are more particular, and will put a layer of bricks and stones on the inside of the cave, which is safer to live in. At present, most of the caves in Jar Village are like this.

In the past two years, the third generation of flat hoop kilns began to be popular in the original western county town. Its construction method is simpler, the wall is built with stones, bricks and other barriers on the flat ground, and the top is arched into a coupon to make a shape similar to that of an arch bridge. Finally, the back kiln surface is sealed, and the surrounding and top are covered with loess, and it becomes a hole in the kiln.

In fact, if the vault of this kind of cave is replaced with bricks, it is no different from an ordinary tile house. It's just that the habits that people have developed over the years can't be modified for the time being, and they subconsciously want to continue to live in the cave.

On the other hand, it is because the temperature on the Loess Plateau is too low in winter, and ordinary brick walls cannot withstand the cold wind at all. The surrounding area is covered with a loess layer, and the cold-proof and thermal insulation effect is no different from that of the cave.

To dig ten holes at a time, you need to find a good cliff. The mountains near Jar Village are basically inhabited, and there is no suitable location at all.

Now the flat hoop brick kiln is used, which saves the trouble of site selection and can be built directly in the school yard.

That piece belongs to the old soil, and the foundation is ready-made. When the time comes, the old cave will be blown up, and the trouble of digging and transporting soil can also be saved.

After unifying the idea, the next day Wang Manchu took the accountant to the county seat to find Bai Mingchuan for help.

As for the commune, he also had no intention of letting go. There are dates and no dates, of course it is good to ask for money, even if you don't come, it just takes some words.

Wang Manyin's donation had a great impact, and in just two days, it had spread throughout the commune.

That's two thousand!

In the past ten years, the life of the people in Jar Village has been better. The standard of living of the members of the other villages has not changed much...... It even went down.

According to the figures listed in the newspaper of Yuanxi County some time ago: the per capita grain output of the county in five or three years was 900 catties, and the year before it dropped to 600 catties. Some production teams have less than 300 catties of grain per capita, the daily value of labor is only two triangulations, and the per capita arrears are more than 50 yuan......

It was only after the implementation of the joint production contract last year that many people had surplus grain at home for the first time. Moreover, from the beginning of spring this year to the present, the villages of the Shibi Festival have not heard of large-scale outings to ask for food.

But to talk about how much money ordinary members can have in their families, this is really not much. After all, it has just been more than half a year since the production was delivered to the household, and some of them have not even solved the problem of food and clothing.

Wang Manyin donated 2,000 yuan at a time, which was worth the total income of many families in the previous 20 years.

Even the old man Sun Yuhou was not calm when he learned about it, and hurriedly ran to the door to ask. He even said that his son-in-law's daughter was a bit reckless and donated too much. What if it makes people crooked, and ends up being criticized.

Wang Manyin repeatedly persuaded his father-in-law to dispel the panic in his heart.

As for Wang Manho's trip to the county seat, it was also very smooth.

Bai Mingchuan has worked in Jar Village for several years and also has feelings for the village. After learning about this, he immediately agreed. Although all localities in Yuanxi County are in urgent need of money now, there are still 1,000 yuan to squeeze out.

After approving the slips, he told the two that when the primary school was finished, he would come to the jar village to have a look when he had time.

Everything was ready, and the primary school in Jar Village was officially rebuilt, and the first step was to blow up those old caves.

When installing the detonator, Wang Manyin took a special look. The cave had just cracked two fingers a few days ago, and now it was almost four fingers wide.

Fortunately, the teachers saw that the situation was not good and let the children stop classes in time, otherwise something big might happen one day.

With a few explosions, billowing dust rose into the sky, and the entire cliff face turned into several large mounds of earth.

When the dust cleared, dozens of laborers from Jar Village entered the site to open trenches and lay foundations, and even Wang Manyin joined them.

The whole scene is in full swing, and people can't help but think of the scene when the earth dam was built in the first place.

There is strength in numbers.

In just half a day, the foundation has been dug and tamped, and ten earthen beams have been vacated in the middle. Each earthen beam is 10 meters long, 3 meters wide and 3 meters high, with an arc at the top and a layer of plastic sheeting on the top.

Then, the crowd began to pile up long stone legs to repair the kiln.

To put it bluntly, this thing is equivalent to a foundation ring beam. The more stable the foundation, the longer the cavern can be maintained.

The upper edge of the foundation is built with bricks, and then the top is made into an arch by leaning on the earthen beams, which is also called Helongkou.

After the bricks and cement are solidified, all the soil beams inside are dug out, and a hole in the cave is completed. As long as the doors and windows are installed, you can live directly in people.

Of course, there is also a simpler method of ferrule kiln: directly make the arched kiln frame as a support, which can save the trouble of digging out the soil beams.

It's just that this kind of kiln can't be found for the time being, and everyone can only adopt stupid methods.

Building walls and repairing vaults is a technical job, and Wang Manyin can't intervene at all, so he simply stays in the field as a small worker, giving people materials and cement.

For the next month or so, he spent most of his time on the construction site. As for the matter of frying melon seeds at home, it is completely handed over to the orchid.

Now Mao Dan and Lai Baozi have matured their hands, and they have a good grasp of the heat ratio, and it is very easy to fry more than 300 catties a day.

However, to deliver goods and collect money in the county, Wang Manyin still needs to go over in person.

It wasn't until the ten-hole brick kiln closed the dragon's mouth that he really relaxed.

***

On Sunday, it happened to be a fair.

Rare to have time, Wang Manyin planned to go to the market to buy a piglet to feed. Originally, I said I would buy it after the New Year, but it has been delayed until now.

When the three children heard about it, they immediately clamored to follow.

Wang Manyin simply shouted orchids, and the family of five went to the market. By the way, I also gave a few people a day off.

At present, the Shibi Festival Commune still holds a market every Friday. Although the Spring Festival has long passed, the market is still very lively. Small traders and hawkers have almost completely occupied the open space on both sides of the street, and even outside the commune, there are people setting up stalls by the Xingshu River. Except for some of these vendors, many of them came from other places to catch the market.

In the spring, there is not much farm work in the fields, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the market from ten miles and eight villages.

Walking in the streets, Wang Manyin has the feeling of visiting tourist attractions during the holidays in later generations. In such a lively scene, petty theft is naturally indispensable. However, these people also watch people cook.

Wang Manyin just led people to catch three thieves a few years ago, which is considered infamous. So he walked all the way with his family, and no one dared to come to him without opening his eyes.

What people didn't expect was that a big iron pot was set up at the door of the restaurant and began to sell mutton soup. The steaming heat wafted down the streets, and the smell of fresh food rushed to the nostrils.

Now the supply of goods in the market is really abundant. In the early years, how could there be mutton soup to drink.

"Dad, I'm hungry!"

"I'm going to eat too......"

The three guys smelled the smell of mutton soup and immediately couldn't walk. They all looked at their parents and hummed in their mouths.

Wang Manyin was naturally not stingy, and immediately took out food stamps and money and asked for five bowls. The family found a small table and sat down and drank beautifully.

After eating, they set off to the cattle store to pick the piglets.

With the various liberalizations, the livestock row is also lively. In addition to selling piglets, there are also cattle, sheep, mules, horses, and donkeys. Such a scene is naturally indispensable to all kinds of livestock economy. These people can get a few bucks out of just one deal.

Wang Manyin is also a celebrity in the Shibi Festival Commune, and along the way, there are constantly people who greet him.

He originally wanted to take a walk around to see the market, but the time was all spent on Ying Cheng. In the end, I simply approached to find a pig seller and bought one at a price of eight yuan.

The piglets were bought and put into a bamboo basket, and the family followed the crowd towards the outside of the market.

Wang Manyin had just walked not far before Wang Lei pulled off his clothes.

This guy excitedly pointed not far away and said, "Dad, Dad, look, there are people selling pigeon tigers there!" ”

Wang Manyin turned his head to look.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a white handkerchief squatting against the wall, with several hares in the open space in front of him, and a living peregrine falcon next to him.

However, this guy looked very miserable, covered in dirt, and his beak and feet were tied with ropes. A pair of wings fluttered constantly, but they could not escape.

When Wang Manyin approached, the peregrine falcon happened to look over.

It struggled even more, flapping its wings and stretching its neck to chirp, but it couldn't make a sound because its mouth was tied.

"Boss, how did you sell this pigeon tiger?" When he came to him, Wang Manyin asked out loud.

Because of the two peregrine falcons in the space, Wang Manyin instinctively has a sense of intimacy with this thing.

Since you have encountered it, it is better to save it.

"You're Wang Manyin from Jar Village...... I just hit the pigeon tiger yesterday. At that time, this guy caught a hare and was fluttering on the ground, so I shot it directly and killed two birds with one stone. The other party explained proudly, and then said, "It's all acquaintances, you can give ten yuan, and take it home for the children to play with!" ”

Wang Manyin didn't answer at all, and immediately turned around and walked back.

This man is not honest at all, and he wants to take himself seriously.

Nowadays, many people don't even have enough food and clothing, and they don't have much to do with raising ornamental birds, so even peregrine falcons are worthless. Ordinary people buy it back, and they are more killed and eaten meat.

According to the Shibi Festival, the pigeon and tiger are considered a kind of medicinal materials that can make up for the loss.

But only for a few years.

In the following ten years, many foreigners secretly went to the northwest to buy Hayabusa, which caused the price to soar. Among them, the most valuable Saker can reach 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. For this reason, many people take risks.

In later generations, the college students' "digging bird's nest" case that caused a lot of trouble was a falcon.

"Brother Wang, don't go, don't go, I'll sell it to you cheaply!!" The middle-aged man originally wanted to meet a rich man and make more money with a lion open his mouth. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly scared people away.

Wang Manyin stopped, turned his head and said: "Five yuan, I'll pay for it if it's okay, if it's okay, I'll leave immediately!" ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a few seconds, and finally agreed: "Okay, just five yuan!" ”

For him, five dollars is not a lot. The peregrine falcon was wounded by a shotgun and is now half dead. If you die in two days, I'm afraid it's not worth five dollars.

After Wang Manyin counted the money and handed it to the other party, he reached out to catch the peregrine falcon.

Strange to say, just now this guy was constantly jumping, and now he suddenly becomes honest.

After being grabbed by Wang Manyin, it did not resist, but shrank its head and drilled into its arms.

"Tsk, Brother Wang, it seems that this pigeon tiger is destined for you. It's not easy for wild things to tame. I caught the one I originally wanted to domestilate, but one was not careful, and was pecked directly to bleed. The middle-aged man was surprised.

Wang Manyin immediately understood: nine times out of ten, this guy was a young bird released from space.
