Li Dong quietly returned home, his movements were as light as possible, but he carried too many things, and he didn't finish the two trips back and forth, and Xiaojuan was still woken up by some movement.

"Dada. ”

"Don't get up, it's still early, I'll make breakfast and get up later." ”

At the end of October, the weather is getting colder and colder, and now the average monthly temperature of the year is about ten degrees lower than that of later generations.

Li Dong put the rice noodles into the rice bowl, the four-piece set and the mosquito net were stuffed into the wooden cabinet, and the other scattered things were wrapped and hung in the basket on the side.

Rubber boots, gloves, towels, safflower oil, and blood-invigorating painkiller were all packed together, vegetable seeds, shovels, shovels, and saws were stuffed under the bed, and two pairs of autumn shoes were put out.

Oil and hot pot ingredients, seasonings are sorted out and put in the cook, sorted out, Li Dong hung up the meat he brought, this time he brought some braised beef, mutton, pork did not bring, Huang Xiaotian gave a few catties of meat tickets and did not use it up.

The film iron box was put aside, Li Dong began to cook breakfast, the father and daughter simply made some points, the gnocchi beat an egg, there was really only one egg left, this time I forgot to bring it, cut some beef and match it is a good meal.

Hot gnocchi and some chili sauce, the fragrance came out, Xiaojuan got up and saw that there was meat to eat, this time I didn't ask about the meat, Dada's ability, the little girl has always been very proud, but I'm afraid that Dada will get used to it.

"Xiaojuan, when will the results of the joint entrance examination come out?"

Li Dong took a sip of gnocchi, it was very hot, and asked casually.

"Next week. ”

Xiaojuan was a little worried, more expectant, excited, the top 100 in the joint entrance examination will be rewarded with a few dollars.

Li Dongxin said that the manuscript he sent should also be out next week. Although there are no exaggerated 100 manuscripts, there are also more than 20 manuscripts, Li Dong muttered a little in his heart, don't pass any of them.

Fortunately, I didn't tell Xiaojuan, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to not pass.

After breakfast, Li Dong sent Xiaojuan to school, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind was blowing uncomfortably. "Look at my memory, scarves are popular this year, and I didn't think about the last time I saw that the wool was selling well. ”

Really, it would be nice to bring some scarves with you, and it's good to use them yourself without exchanging money.

Sending Xiaojuan back to work non-stop, today's work is simple, playing big lumps in the field, opening a ravine in the wheat field, the old ox pulling the plough and walking forward, Li Dong They followed behind to clean up the soil in the ravine, and then ploughed the old ox out of a large lump of soil and broke it.

I did this all morning, and in the afternoon I went to collect the dried corn and sorghum stalks, bundled them up and sent them to the warehouse to pile them up.

The work is not tiring, and the afternoon is half an hour earlier than usual, and the big guy chats about the movies he watched a few days ago, talking and laughing and walking towards Zhuangzi.

"Brother Wei Qun, you wait. ”

When he was about to enter Zhuangzi, Li Dong called out to Han Weiqun, who was a little puzzled. "What's the matter?"

"The vegetable seed thing. ”

Li Dong said. "I've bought the vegetable seeds, so come and get them later. ”

"Really?"

It's been a few days, Li Dongguang said that he wouldn't practice, and Han Weiqun regretted it a little, don't you grow vegetables.

A few vegetable growers heard that the vegetable seeds were bought, and they were all happy, and they were going to work on the river a few days later, which was more than half a month, and less than ten days of busy work, but they were going to miss the season of planting vegetables.

When Li Dong divided the vegetable seeds, he was very embarrassed, he bragged that he could change the food rations for a winter vegetables, but now it is a bit difficult. "I went to the city to inquire, and the purchasing station bought a large number of vegetables, and the price was slightly lower, and the Chinese cabbage was one penny and two pounds. ”

"One point and two, half an acre of Chinese cabbage is 1,500 catties. ”

Without waiting for Li Dong to finish speaking, everyone began to calculate the accounts, eighteen yuan for half an acre of land is not too much, but it is not too little. In addition, if you plant Chinese cabbage, you can still grow grain on the ground, and you can plant beans and corn in the spring.

"Planted. ”

Han Weiqun calculated more precisely, his family kept at least one acre of land, and counted three or four thousand catties of cabbage, a total of forty or fifty yuan, which is a lot, and the food he bought was enough for his own rations for half a winter.

Planting wheat and rape, then this winter will be difficult, there is no ration, the child must not starve, it is better to plant Chinese cabbage, change some food, the worst can be more winter vegetables.

Han Weiqun was willing, plus several cadres from Han Weijun's team took the lead, and the rest of them also gritted their teeth and planted cabbage, Li Dong brought back the seeds, and the team gave ten yuan, which is not much, after all, it is not money.

Li Dong didn't come over politely, leveled his own land in the evening, and took advantage of no one's attention to turn over a bag of fertilizer brought back from 18 years into the soil, sprinkled cabbage seeds and cabbage, and picked two buckets of water and splashed it again.

Xiaojuan came back and saw that her own land had been leveled, and when she learned that she had sprinkled vegetable seeds, the little girl was very happy, and picked up some bamboo poles and inserted them around her own land, and this girl planned to make more to make a fence.

"Dada, you have to be a scarecrow, the thief likes to eat vegetable seeds. ”

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. ”

Li Dong took out a small shovel and handed it to Xiao Juan. "This is a birthday present that Dada bought you, do you like it?"

"Like. ”

Xiaojuan took the small shovel, how to look good, and found a wooden stick as a handle for a while.

"Handle, Dada has you covered. Xiaojuan took the handle and put it on, buckled it with a nail, and shoveled it a few times in the private ground behind the yard, which was really useful.

Now it is convenient to beat pigweed, and the villain goes out with a basket.

"Came back early. ”

For dinner, Li Dong steamed cornmeal steamed buns, cornmeal is his own corn ground with fine flour, added to Fuqiang powder, compared to white flour steamed buns, cornmeal steamed buns are much more low-key. Li Dong plans to steam more and take some with him when he works in the autumn.

When steaming, there is also a little minced braised beef and hot sauce in it, which makes it more fragrant.

For dinner, Xiaojuan ate two large ones and drank a big bowl of sweet potato rice porridge. "Xiaojuan, in the past two days, my father is going to work in the river, so I will steam a few baskets of steamed buns for you and hang them on the beam, and you can eat them if you steam them in the morning and evening, remember that there are pleats on it and meat inside. ”

Xiaojuan is too small to cook sweet potato porridge, the rice is okay, but the steamed buns and noodles need strength, Xiaojuan is still a little reluctant now, Li Dong simply steamed some more, but took it to the school steamer to steam it for a penny, and it was good to drink a bowl of hot water.

"I see. ”

"When the time comes, you follow Uncle Weihe's bicycle, and I will already say hello. ”

Li Dong will definitely go to work in the river, and there is only one of his father and daughter in the family, and there is no one else except Li Dong.

Sure enough, early the next morning, when he went to work, Han Fu announced the date of the river work. "At eight o'clock the day after tomorrow, Zhuangzikou gathered. ”

Li Dong's name is impressively listed, it is a big work, and he really said it, cleaning up the river.

This job is not easy to do, Han Weiguo's face is bitter.

The Qiupu River is not small, and the estuary is quite deep, which will be very tiring, and the main thing is that the time is a little long.

"At least ten days. ”

"This time it may be more than ten days. ”

It may take half a month, but then South Korea Fu announced a relatively good news. "This time, the commune subsidized one pound of grain a day. ”

That's not bad, at least you don't have to bring rations, although a pound is not enough to eat, you can save a little, at least you won't be too hungry.

After a day of rest in the middle, on the third day, Li Dong pushed his bicycle to Zhuangzikou, with a shovel tied to the car and his own tools. "Brother Li, I'll go with you. ”

The carriage in the team is too bumpy, not as comfortable as the bicycle, and not as fast as the bicycle.

"Okay. ”

Li Dong rode a bicycle with Han Weiguo, and the two set off towards the rising sun under the envious gaze of everyone, this time Han Zhuang was in charge of the upper reaches of the Qiupu River near the urban area.

"Let's go back to the city. ”

On the first day of work, not to mention that there were only Li Dong except for a few cadres.

Many young girls glanced at Li Dong, to say that Li Dong is really not lazy now, and he is more than 1.8 meters tall, strong, how can he look honest and capable. Many young girls also inquired about Li Dong, which made Li Dong a little proud.

It's just the next day that Li Dong found that the young girl who had glanced at him from time to time yesterday saw him and avoided it from afar, as if he had encountered something terrible.

"What's going on?"

Li Dong muttered, he didn't have time to care about this, so he had to hurry up and have breakfast.

"Brother Li here. ”

Bean porridge, not bad, two steamed buns per person, but Li Dong is not enough to eat, he brought some steamed buns and took them out and put them on the pot to steam them, the cornmeal steamed buns are not noticeable, but Han Weiguo is close to Li Dong.

At a glance, I saw that there were good things in the cornmeal steamed buns, the meat was fragrant, and I went to work on the river, and the meat subsidized a day was very small, and the meat was not good, and the maximum piece of meat to the last person was still over-oiled.

Don't talk about meat in the morning, there are not many oil stars, and everyone is very happy with multigrain steamed buns, Li Dong drank half a bowl of porridge here and hurriedly went to fill a big bowl, this is what Han Weiguo told him, bean porridge is not full.

There are so many in total, the first time I filled half a bowl, the cold one was almost finished, hurry up and fill a big bowl, so that I can eat a bowl and a half, if you directly hold a big bowl, the cold one will wait for you to finish drinking this bowl, and the porridge bucket will be empty early.

"Brother Li, your cornmeal steamed buns are very fragrant. ”

Han Weiguo's goods, Li Dong broke half of it and remembered what happened in the morning, and asked Han Weiguo. "What's going on?"

Half a meat steamed bun, Han Weiguo clicked his mouth, this matter is not easy to say. "What, Brother Li, this may have misunderstood you. Han Weiguo was glared at by Li Dong, and when he saw that Li Dong was about to take back the meat steamed buns, he hurriedly said.

It turned out that someone inquired about Li Dong yesterday and learned that it was Li Dong who was lazy in Hanzhuang, and the young girls immediately changed their attitudes one by one, afraid that Li Dong would entangle them.

"Who, such a lack of morality, ruined my reputation. ”

Li Dong was angry, really, he was quite hardworking, and he was corrupted like this.

Han Weiguo nibbled on the meat steamed bun, didn't speak, and said in his heart Brother Li, what, this is also a fact, why don't you struggle, there will always be a daughter-in-law, no, the high widow in a few villages is very good, not very old, less than forty.

Li Dong wants to know what Han Weiguo thinks in his heart, he will definitely not give this thing to eat at all.

As soon as I was a future peasant writer, I became a lazy bastard.

When Li Dong sighed, the post office of the commune received a letter from the city, and one of the letters was sent to Li Dong, which was from a publishing house in Beijing.

"Publisher?"

The postman glanced at it with some surprise, Han Zhuang Li Dong, this person himself has heard a little about it, one of the few educated youths in Lishan Commune, and his name is not very good.
