Chapter 84 Sending Grain, Milling New Rice, and Earning Rations

"It's really not good, Uncle Guofu, you can find someone else!"

got in the car in the morning, except for a break for an hour when there was no gas, Li Dong never got off the tractor, and worked until more than ten o'clock in the evening, which was really a personal life.

The whole body is falling apart, and I really have to jump into the reservoir again, anyway, there is not much water in the reservoir now.

"That's not good, there is only one person in Zhuangzi who can drive a tractor and hold on for another half a day. Han Fu didn't eat at night and said that he was right to save people at the beginning, or who would drive the tractor.

Li Chunhua didn't say anything about Li Dong being lazy, forget it, what about driving a tractor, go back and let Wei He learn, Wei He is a junior high school student.

Han Weijiang, the second child in her family, also wants to learn, driving a tractor is more decent, and the work rate is high.

"Open well, tomorrow I will ask your uncle to give you eighteen points. ”

Twenty points, I don't do it anymore, my butt is swollen, it's really swollen, and the skin is broken, I really think of myself as a donkey for the production team.

"Dada soak your feet. ”

"That's good, Xiaojuan, why haven't you slept yet?"

When Li Dong returned home, Xiaojuan hadn't slept yet. "The homework assigned by Mr. Wang. Xiaojuan was doing her homework while waiting for Li Dong to come back.

"Oh, it's not a lot of homework, if it's too much, don't go to work tomorrow. ”

Li Dong patted his chest and said quite arrogantly. "Your father, I now earn eighteen cents by myself. ”

"Eighteen points, really?"

Really, that's great, eighteen are one and a half strong laborers.

"Not really. ”

Xiaojuan is happy for Dada, eighteen points of work, no one in Hanzhuang is higher than Dada, of course, Guoqiang's grandfather, as well as the captain, the accountant, and the militia platoon commander, these subsidies are more.

"By the way, is there a question that you can't have?"

"No, I don't. ”

Xiaojuan grinned, which made Li Feng a little congested, what's the matter, Xiaojuan doesn't need to tutor herself recently, my dad is a failure, the two daughters don't need to tutor themselves, how can it give me a sense of achievement.

Alas, my daughter is too smart, and I really don't have too much fun in tutoring homework, and I really envy the fathers who can help my daughter tutor.

After soaking her feet for a while, Li Dong wiped it, and Xiaojuan sorted out her homework and prepared to sleep.

"After this while, Dad went to buy a desk, and the board was too low. ”

"Don't, you're done, build a house, don't spend money indiscriminately. ”

"Don't worry, Dad still has this money, go to bed obediently. ”

"Dada, you're lying on your stomach, I'll press you. ”

Xiaojuan knew that driving a tractor was very tiring, the bumps were terrible, and Gangdada walked crookedly.

Li Dong didn't know when he fell asleep, but Xiaojuan pressed it too comfortably, the little padded jacket still looked like there was more white cotton, and there was still not much black cotton.

"Knock knock. ”

"What are you doing? ”

Early in the morning, I knocked on the door before dawn, opened the door, and the smell of autumn came to my face, mixed with the smell of autumn harvest.

"Brother Weijun, it's early. ”

"It's early. ”

Han Weijun pulled Li Dong and was about to go out. "What's wrong?"

"Everyone is waiting for you. ”

"Wait for me?"

Li Dong muttered, then wait for me to wash my face. "Brother Weijun, I haven't brushed my teeth and washed my face yet, you can wait. ”

"The big guys are waiting for you to drive the tractor. ”

"I know, I know. ”

Really, it's not idle at all, Li Dong had no choice but to wash his face and brush his teeth, make a white flour steamed bun, sandwich two pieces of cooked beef, smear some hot sauce, make do with the pad, pad the belly, and looked back at Han Weijun staring at the meat sandwich in his hand and swallowing saliva.

"Brother Weijun, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Or one else. ”

Han Weijun waited for Li Dong to ask. "Okay, let's have one, don't put too much meat. ”

Li Dong was speechless, you are reminding the meat not to put too little, cut a few pieces and stuffed them into the steamed buns and handed them to Han Weijun.

"It's just a little cold. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

The two of them walked all the way to the threshing floor, and after eating the meat sandwich buns, they clapped their hands, and many people in the threshing floor really arrived.

Li Dong, the tractor driver, once again enjoyed everyone's envious gaze, Li Dongxin said, eighteen points, when the South Korean soldiers announced the work, there was a lot of discussion around.

"Uncle National Soldier, eighteen points is too much, or I'm like everyone else. ”

"If you want to learn tractor, talk to me when you go back. ”

Just kidding, I don't want to harvest beans, sorghum or something, I still drive this broken tractor to swell my butt and scratch the skin, this is not like hemorrhoids, and I will bleed every once in a while.

The big guy listened to Li Dong's willingness to teach, and he didn't talk about the eighteen points one by one, maybe he would get the eighteen points one day.

"Okay, hurry up, it's the last point, take advantage of this time in the morning to beat, dry it for two days and send it to the grain station, the commune is urgent. ”

"Okay. ”

After two hours, after the fight, Li Dong asked for leave, his buttocks were swollen and his skin was too uncomfortable, his whole body was sore, and he went home and slept comfortably.

"I brought Yunnan Baiyao, not safflower oil. ”

Rubbing it with alcohol, after taking the medicine for a day, he was more than half better, and he wanted to be comfortable for two days, but he had to go to deliver public food, and Han Fu found Li Dong again.

"Driving a tractor?"

"Uncle Guofu, didn't you say that the tractor drank too much oil and drank too much, and it won't be driven in the future?"

Li Dong was speechless, he only complained yesterday, the tractor is too fuel-intensive, and he won't turn it on if he turns around, it's only been a day.

"It's not a lot, it just so happens that the big guy hasn't been to the commune for a long time, and when the time comes, the big guy will go to the commune supply and marketing cooperatives together for half a day off. ”

Okay, when it comes to this, the tractor pulled the big carriage and set off, the mule cart, the ox cart, this time it didn't pull the cart, the tractor pulled the cart loaded with a lot of grain, most of it was on the cart.

Usually, the three-headed livestock is really not necessarily moving, but the tractor is okay, and it makes a sudden noise, but a Zhuangzi old and young are still squeezing into the car one by one, and many people have never been on a tractor in their lives.

"It's still good and energetic. ”

The sixth master patted the tractor wheel cover, you always sit firmly and don't fall on your head, this broken road is very bumpy, the tractor shock absorption is a mess, swaying all the way, Li Dong is almost dizzy by the sway, and finally reached the grain station.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the grain station, and there were many people who handed over the grain, all mule carts, horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and people pulling board carts and wheelbarrows, and the queue was quite long.

"Old man Bi, what are you hiding? ”

Bi Qing of Bijiazhuang saw that Han Fu got off the tractor and was about to get into the crowd, and Han Fu ran forward in two steps to say hello.

"It's early, why did you come, take a mule cart?"

Poof, Li Dong understands, why did Uncle Guofu let go of the tractor, really, what a big person, he is stable at all, isn't it just a broken tractor, what is there to show off.

Bi Qingqing pouted, it's not good, what's the use of such a big tractor.

Han Fu began to brag about how fast the tractor was fighting, and the rice was beaten in the blink of an eye, and the straw was so soft and easy to burn.

After a burst of boasting, Bi Qing couldn't wait to disappear immediately, it was really unlucky to encounter this Han cannon again.

"Old Bi, you see how good it is to have a tractor. ”

Han Fu actually feels that he has been fooled now, he wants a tractor, good guy, a few days of kung fu oil money almost didn't give Han Fu distress to death, and now he can't wait to return it, of course, it would be better if he could change a set of irrigation equipment in Bijiazhuang.

"Well, I still have something. ”

Bi Qingqing couldn't bear it, this person bragged in front of him every day, last time on the bike, this time on the tractor, Bi Qingqing was really a little envious in his heart, uncomfortable.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, the team is still long, let's talk for a while. ”

Bi Qingxin said Talk about your grandmother's legs, ran away, Han Fu looked proud, Li Dong and Han Weijun, a few hid behind and laughed. "Look at Uncle Guofu's pride. ”

"It's time to worry about the oil money again. ”

Old tractor, and I don't know how many times it has been overhauled, so it's strange that it doesn't consume fuel.

"It's our turn. ”

Paying public grain is a major event in the year, summer and autumn, public grain is not a penny to take is to contribute to the construction of the country, in previous years, everyone's enthusiasm was quite high, this year it will not be, the output is too low.

To put aside three or four hundred catties of land in previous years, it is really nothing to pay two percent of the harvest per acre, but now it is not good, Bijiazhuang has almost paid half of the harvest, Hanzhuang is better, but it is almost one-third.

"A snakeskin bag to deduct a pound of grain?"

"That's fine, it's good if we don't deduct our water. ”

Although the price is relatively low, the over-purchased grain is the price of the unified grain plus 30 percent, and the bargaining grain is doubled.

Everyone still feels that the food is piled up at home, more than 1,000 yuan, tens of thousands of catties of grain, and they have been busy for a week, no, they have been busy for many months, and it is hard enough to carry water.

What is this money enough for, a few dollars per person, Li Dong muttered, the Hanzhuang production team is all busy in the autumn of this year.

Everyone walked around, except for a few people to buy a thimble, thread bag, no one even bought loose wine, this year's harvest is not good, the money is not enough, the rations are not enough to eat, who can be willing to buy wine, buy meat.

"Yes, go home and divide the food. ”

South Korea is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly divides the rations, and if anything happens, the rations will not be saved.

"Divide the grain?"

Li Dong muttered, his family is estimated to not be able to share a few catties, and even Li Dong didn't go, his ass was just a little bumpy, and it was uncomfortable.

"Xiaojuan, why is there so much food?"

I never thought that Xiaojuan came back with half a bag of grain, how could she have twenty or thirty pounds, how did this girl get it back, she was tired.

"My family needs this ration, what should I do, Dada?"

"That's a lot. ”

Li Dong smiled. "Don't worry, Dad won't let you go hungry. ”

The new rice from the new rice tastes good, Li Dong asked. "Xiaojuan, where are we going to get rice. ”

"The stone at the entrance of the village grinds rice. ”

Stone milling rice, Li Dong slapped his forehead, isn't it, Hanzhuang does not have an electric rice milling machine.

"Then tomorrow we'll go grind some rice and taste the new rice. ”

"Hmm. ”

After eating the next morning, Li Dong carried the drum on his back, Xiaojuan carried the basin, and after a while, he filled the rice and the snakeskin bag with rice bran, and Li Dong was dumbfounded when he came to the entrance of the village.

"Why are there so many people? ”

Half of the people in Zhuangzi were queuing up here, and when they saw Li Dong coming, Han Weiguo came over.

"Brother Li, you also come to mill rice. ”

"yes, why are there so many people. ”

"It's not yesterday that everyone plans to grind the rice, and it should be exchanged for coarse grains, and it should be saved and saved. ”

Good guy, Zhuangzi is grinding this stone for a while, and there are people queuing up in the morning when it is dark and dark, and Li Dong can only line last.

"Fortunately, this team has to be cost-effective, and if you don't work, you won't delay work. ”

"Well, what's the use of totaling. ”

Han Weiguo said with a bitter face, this year has been done in vain, and the others shook their heads when they heard it, especially the families with many children at home, their hair is going to be gray, the work is worthless, and they have to pay the rations when they go back.

All the properties of these families, Li Dong has heard from Han Fu that they have not exceeded 30 yuan, and they can even be said to be poor.

"Brother Li, can what you said come true?"

"Don't worry, there will be a reply in the next two days. Li Dongxin said that when he was done with this fork, he would go back and get some small food stamps, which were better than money in the year of the great drought.
