"Uncle, wait for us. ”

Li Dong followed Han Fu to set up a car, and today the whole team went into battle to dig sweet potatoes, and most of the labor was busy in the sweet potato field.

The little babies also go to the sweet potato field, it is rare to let go of the little baby and eat sweet potatoes, the big ones can't be, but the small ones are dug up, and the cadres in the team turn a blind eye, as long as they don't sneak too much and take them home, they don't care.

Adults have made up their minds, don't cook at noon, children can fill their stomachs and save a meal by gnawing sweet potatoes, everyone is still fighting for belly in those years, and they won't eat sweet potato flatulence or something, of course, the little baby is not without a good way.

A few boys picked up some firewood to make an earthen stove, and the roasted sweet potatoes were full of fragrance, which really made people want to taste them when they smelled them.

"Eat it secretly, your mouth is black. ”

Li Dong knocked Han Xiaohao's head, this kid is familiar with Li Dong, hehe smiled. "Uncle, does Xiaojuan really want to go to school?"

"yes, what about you?"

"My dad also let me go, but I want to go to work to earn work. ”

Han Xiaohao touched his head, hehe, this kid doesn't want to go to school, and he is going to let Li Dong help him talk to his father, he doesn't dare to do it, or Han Weijun won't use a stick to whip him.

"It's good to go to school, to learn to read. ”

If two years ago, there were really few peasants who were willing to let their children go to school, they didn't have to take the university exam, what kind of school they went to, how well they earned their jobs, and they couldn't eat enough.

The past two years have been better, especially the resumption of the college entrance examination last year, which is better for the young people to be admitted to the university and return to the city, and the peasants do not understand these and just feel that they can go to the city when they go to university, which is always of some use.

"Ah, what knowledge is there, it's useless, uncle....... ”

Before Han Xiaohao finished speaking, Li Dong knocked the whip in his hand on the kid's head. "What's the matter, when I see my uncle in the countryside, I think it's useless to learn knowledge, let me tell you, knowledge is very useful, you say you don't go to school, you can't read, you can't even tell the toilet when you go out, what do you say, run to the lesbian toilet, but you want to laugh at the dead. ”

That's right. ”

As soon as Han Xiaohao saw his grandfather coming, his head shrank and he glanced at Li Dong, don't tell his grandfather that he doesn't want to go to school. "Uncle Guofu, what's the matter, leading two donkeys again?"

"What donkey, this is a donkey and a mule. ”

Han Fu glared at Han Xiaohao. "Go, don't delay your work. ”

Han Xiaohao grimaced at Li Dong, and ran away, this kid was also afraid of him.

Li Dong led the horse and mule to follow Han Fu to the yard of the warehouse, pulling the rubber-wheeled carriage, the Hanzhuang production team only has one big carriage, and there are two other platoon cars, and some board cars, the most of which are wheelbarrows.

It is at the foot of the mountain, except for a few large paddy fields under the mountain, most of the small paddy fields are also at the foot of the hillside, and the crops on the dry land are all on the hillside.

The biggest use of the carriage is to send public grain, but there are more sweet potatoes transported today, and there is a rich man in Korea who plans to teach Li Dong to catch the carriage.

The big carriage is not easy to catch, Hanzhuang because the carriage is usually not used much, there is no fixed handlebar type, the general big point production team will have a fixed handlebar type, this is the enviable work at that time, the work is high, the work is easy and faceless.

"Listen to me in a moment, don't mess with the animals when you set up the car. ”

"Uncle Guofu, don't worry, I will listen to you. ”

The three mules also have a division of labor, Han Fu commanded Li Dong to tie the horse and mule around the neck, the horse and mule are more powerful than the other two donkeys and mules, and they are the main animals, and the mouth peg is to prevent the livestock from being disobedient. "Drive the mule into the wheel. ”

"Okay. ”

Li Dong already had a little experience in controlling horses and mules, so he rushed into the wheel and put on the splint sleeve, put the saddle and tow belt, tied the belly belt firmly, and put the donkey and mule on the left and right sides of the car. Even if the carriage was set, Li Dong climbed into the car.

Li Dong couldn't catch up with this car, so he asked Han Fu to go into battle in person, shouting at the mule to drive the mule up and down, and Li Dong followed to learn.

Move forward, 'erect the rack', stop, 'hoo', shout 'da-da' to the left, and 'oh-oh' to the right.

At this time, the kung fu carriage rushed to the road under the hillside of the sweet potato field, and the hillside was full of people, everyone was digging sweet potatoes and transporting sweet potatoes, and Li Dong jumped down from the car. "Uncle Guofu, I'm going to help dig sweet potatoes. ”

Talking all the way up the hill, he shouted loudly. "The carriage came, and the big guy sent the sweet potatoes down. ”

"It was Uncle Guofu and Li Dong who came in a carriage. ”

"Everyone worked hard and sent the sweet potatoes to the carriage. ”

A group of people working is quite lively, after all, they are usually divided into three or four groups, so they work together. "Hey, Li Dong, you're from the city, what's the matter, sing a song to everyone. ”

"Okay. ”

This Li Dong is really not afraid, he usually likes to go to KVT to sing a few songs, and he also remembers a few old songs. Toast song, Li Dong sang the best, this is not a big voice, everyone is stunned, it sounds good.

Li Dong sang, that one was energetic. "The wine is fragrant, the song is flying, friends, please have a toast, please have a toast...... ”

"Good. ”

"It's a good song. ”

"This baby, singing and drinking. ”

"It's not good, it's a bit expensive to sing well. ”

"yes, no, why do you work after drinking so much. ”

A few elderly people said with a smile that during this year's drought, the sweet potatoes grew quite well, and everyone was happy.

After singing a song, the big guy began to shout. "One more song. ”

"Hahaha, sing well, sing again. ”

Li Dong hurriedly surrendered, don't, Li Dong doesn't know much about songs these years, and it's very tiring to sing a toast. "I'd better dig sweet potatoes, or Uncle Guofu will say I'm lazy again. ”

"This kid. ”

Pulling sweet potato seedlings and digging sweet potatoes, Li Dong has the most little babies around here, to say that although Li Dong has been in Hanzhuang for a short time, he can't stand the fruit candy, and the milk candy is powerful. This group of little babies all know that Li Dong likes to buy candy for everyone to eat, and he usually runs an errand and shouts to eat candy.

Who doesn't like this, all the little guys like to come to Li Dong's side.

"Don't dig your hands on it. ”

"Hahaha. ”

Everyone saw that they made fun of Li Dong's name for digging sweet potatoes, and many people in the village knew about it last time.

"Brother Wei Jiang, that was before, and now I'm a master of digging sweet potatoes. ”

Li Dong said that he was happy, and accidentally dug up a sweet potato, Xiaojuan was about to cry, her father was so embarrassed that he bragged and immediately blew it.

In the morning, Li Dong not only dug sweet potatoes, but also transported sweet potatoes, and made a few trips, tired but he was still very happy to see the sweet potatoes piled up like a hill in the field.

At noon, the families didn't go back, Li Dong couldn't go back, so he could only follow the sweet potatoes and just gnaw on the sweet potatoes and always felt uncomfortable, which was just whether to get anything else to eat, seeing Han Xiaohao beckoning to him.

"Uncle, here. ”

"Something. ”

"It smells so good. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

A few little babies found a few roasted corns, as well as roasted soybeans and sweet potatoes, which is really good. "Uncle, this is for you. ”

"Good boy, Uncle Hui will give you candy. ”

This thing is much more delicious than raw sweet potatoes, although raw sweet potatoes are very delicious, but when eaten as a meal, it is a little swollen. Nibbling on roasted corn full of grain aroma, roasted tender soybeans, and a piece of roasted sweet potato, it's comfortable.

Li Dong left a roasted corn stuff for Xiaojuan, and followed the carriage to unload the sweet potatoes, a Zhuangzi person was busy working at night and it was dark, there was really no way, at this time, it was dark and the moon could not be seen, and he could not see it.

The horse light is not done, the gasoline lamp in the whole Hanzhuang has a lamp, but there is no oil, that thing is very expensive, there is no spare money to buy, can only light the fire, everyone is not afraid, has been busy until seven or eight o'clock to go home.

A group of people went to the creek to wash up, it is impossible to boil hot water for you these years, not to mention the waste of firewood, there is not such a big basin for you at home. After getting some food at night, Li Dong fell asleep, but who knew that the door was knocking in the middle of the night, which scared Li Dong.

What's the situation, Li Dong put on his shoes and went out. "Who?"

"It's me, Cripple Zhang. ”

Li Dong slapped his forehead, why did he forget it, took out the lighter, lit the lamp, and went out the door. "It's Brother Zhang, I'm sorry to forget. ”

"Nothing. ”

Zhang lame smiled honestly and put down the bamboo basket. "There are not many vegetables, ten catties of radish, a few catties of cucumbers, a few cabbages for a total of thirty catties, you give four cents." ”

"Four hairs?"

Thirty pounds and four cents, this is too cheap, took out five cents and handed it to Zhang Cripple. "Don't look for it. ”

"That won't work. ”

As he spoke, he took out a dime and gave it to Li Dong, and the vegetables were put in the yard for Li Dong. "Nothing good, a handful of peanuts for the child. ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, Li Dong sent Zhang Cripple off, and chatted a few words on the way, until Zhuangzikou watched Zhang Cripple walk away with one foot high and one foot low, and then went back. "I went to the city four or five times a month, and one trip was one or two more than one or two, and seven or eight cents less. ”

There is still too little land to keep for himself, and he can't grow many vegetables, Zhang Cripple just sighed Li Dong didn't comfort him, but it won't be long before Zhang Cripple has room to show. Back at home, Li Dong divided the vegetables into two portions, and kept one for the family to eat.

A copy to bring back to 2018 tomorrow, peanuts, Li Dong wrapped it and stuffed it under Xiaojuan's pillow.

The next day, Li Dong got up early in the morning, and Li Dong took Xiaojuan to the commune in a mule cart driven by Han Weijun to sign up for Xiaojuan, Han Xiaohao, and two babies.

The commune school is much better than Hanzhuang, all brick houses, although not high, compared to adobe houses, they are heaven and earth.

"Brick house. ”

"Let's build one in our house when we go back. ”

Han Weijun and Han Xiaojuan, Han Xiaohao and others all bragged in front of Li Dong, and Han Xiaojuan pulled her father, which was really big again. When the group arrived at the school office, there were quite a lot of people here, and the registration procedure was simple.

It's just that Li Dong was pleasantly surprised when the teacher learned that Xiaojuan could write some words, plus and subtract within 100, and after the on-the-spot test, he was given half of the tuition fee, which included the cost of stationery and books, and it was reduced by more than a dollar.

Han Weijun looked at the greedy eyes, wishing that his baby could be so promising, and the other parents who signed up looked at Li Dong with envy, now there are not many adults who can read and write, and this little baby can say that he can write is too capable.

"Okay, good, Dad will take you to buy delicious food in a while. ”

Saying that, Li Dong waved his hand, Han Weijun wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and the baby was angry, so he bought delicious food for the baby himself. Han Xiaohao's babies are envious, but they don't know anything.

When I came to the supply and marketing cooperative, I didn't want to meet acquaintances, Gao Weimin was chatting with a female comrade in the supply and marketing cooperative. "For the people. ”

"Dongzi, what a coincidence, let me introduce this Gao Min, my object. ”

"Hello sister-in-law. ”

"What to buy?"

"This is not a girl's interest, the tuition fee is halved, and I will buy some food as a reward. Li Dong pointed to a pound of candy, although this fruit candy is not as good as milk candy, but he is happy, and he will go back to the village to let the big guy eat in a while.

"Two more bottles of wine. ”

Li Dong took advantage of the festivities and planned to get a few bottles of wine. "Xinghua Village Daqu. ”

This wine is the local wine of Chicheng County, a piece of Wuyi bottle is a good wine, Gao Weimin slapped his forehead when he saw that Li Dong liked to drink, and he didn't send anything just to ask others to do things. "Dongzi, you wait, I'll go get you two bottles of good wine. ”

As soon as he spoke, he went out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Dong couldn't cry or laugh, how could this person say that it was wind or rain, what was the trouble.

After a while, Gao Weimin brought two bottles of Gujing tribute wine, and a piece of pork came back. "I wanted to send it to you, but I haven't been available. ”

"You're so polite. ”

Han Weijun happened to drive the mule cart over, and was stunned when he saw it, what is the situation, this is wine and meat, give it to Li Dong, Gao Weimin Han Weijun knows, his father is the deputy secretary of the commune, why did he send something to Li Dong.

"The car is here, for the people, I'll go first, don't worry about your business, I'll go to the city tomorrow when I'm free, and I'll definitely do it for you." Li Dong waved his hand, good guy, you can still bring a few bottles of wine when you go back tonight, it's good.

Back in the village, it didn't take long for the news of Kung Fu Xiaojuan's half-tuition waiver spread.

More than a dollar, this baby is smart, it's different, can write, can read, tuition is much less than others, more than a dollar can buy more than ten catties of rice, dozens of catties of coarse grain.

When he came to the venue to divide the red potatoes, the big guy was still talking about it, and Li Dong even came over with a bag of sugar to distribute it to the big guys, which was lively and happy.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. ”

"I read the name and came up to pick up sweet potatoes. ”

Han Fu said loudly, reciting the name of the red potato, and picking up the most points first, Li Dong and Xiaojuan actually divided more than 200 catties.

"Li Dong, you have to give the team two cents here. ”

There's no way, Li Dong doesn't have much work at all, this is what Han Fu told Li Dong yesterday, Li Dong and Xiaojuan asked for five yuan, but I didn't expect that it would only be two yuan, looking at Xiaojuan's eyes, the little girl wanted to take back the extra money, this is not good.

More than 200 catties of sweet potatoes, Li Dong transported them home twice, made sweet potato rice at noon, pork stewed radish, and patted a cucumber, I wanted to drink some wine.

But when I think about it, this night is going back to 2018, these bottles of wine can't become a good thing, and the wine from forty years ago is worth hundreds or thousands.

Besides, his former father-in-law was good at drinking, Li Dong wanted to endure it and turn around to buy and drink it again, Li Dong and Xiaojuan said a word in the evening, and then went out.

This time, I went back and brought a total of four bottles of wine, ten wild soft-shelled turtles, twenty catties of sweet potatoes, more than ten catties of vegetables, plus a big black fish and a few yellow eels.
