Chapter 0431 Hear the Wind 3
Shen Feihong seemed to be really anxious. Early the next morning, Lu Jiang was cooking, and when he heard a knock on the door, he closed the fire in the stove to prevent it from falling down and causing a fire. He went out of the kitchen and opened the door. Shang Shen Feihong smiled but had slightly red eyes, pushing an old bicycle, looking like he was in a mess.
"Hey, Big Brother Lu Jiang!" Shen Feihong changed his words and changed his face.
Although he called Feng Qingxue the eldest sister, she was a relative with her aunt, but he inquired about Lu Jiang's details while inquiring about the location of the Lu family, but he didn't dare to call him eldest brother.
Lu Jiang is much older than himself, so he can be a big brother, Shen Feihong thought roguely.
Lu Jiang turned sideways and opened another door by the way, "Come in." The child went into the city yesterday to take pictures, and ate a large bowl of egg noodles at a state-run restaurant. After playing for a day, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep, so he lay down in the middle of the night. , so I haven't woken up now, the yard is very quiet, and I can only hear cocks and ducks.
Shen Feihong took a few glances and clicked, "Big Brother Lu, your life is really good." The
house is neat, the ground is clean, and there are strings of red peppers and corn cobs hanging on the wall under the eaves, which are signs of prosperity. .
Lu Jiang smiled and invited him into the room.
There was not enough breast milk, Feng Qingxue was feeding Xibao to drink milk powder, and when she saw Shen Feihong coming in, she said, "Have Brother Feihong eaten?"
"No, I came here early in the morning, I'm afraid you will regret it!" Shen Feihong scratched his head. Scratching his head, he put the box he brought on the table, "Big sister, I know you women like jewelry, so you bring them all, some expensive and some cheap, you can pick them up, you can keep them. Just give me the food."
Feng Qingxue handed Xi Bao to Lu Jiang to hold, and opened the box by herself.
Bejeweled and overflowing with wooden boxes.
Most of them are jade jewelry, but very few gold and silver jewelry. The value is different and the quality is different.
"Ah!" Xi Bao pushed open the bottle and stretched out his upper body to lie on the table. Lu Jiang understood his virtue and hugged him close to the wooden box. The little guy grabbed a bunch of coral beads in the box.
"Do you like them Xibao?" Feng Qingxue smiled and picked out the best quality jewelry from the box.
In general, she really doesn't look down on it.
A vivid pink diamond ring, a rich emerald jade bracelet, a pair of Dongzhu earrings, an emerald snuff bottle that is full of emerald green and water, a seed material suet jade brand, a pair of white jade twist bracelets, A silver hairpin with emerald pearls and a pair of gold silk bracelets with eastern pearls.
"There are also coral beads that Xibao took, that's all." Feng Qingxue didn't look at the rest.
Lu Jiang held Xibao with one hand, and took out a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with filigree with one hand. The phoenix was inlaid with a few rubies and pearls. "Add this hairpin."
Seeing the colorful hairpins , Xibao immediately gave up the Chaozhu and took it. Shen Feihong said enthusiastically: "Big brother Lu, big sister, you are as expected of a deep heritage and extremely precise eyes. The ones you choose are the best jewelry in the box. I spent a lot of money and food when I collected them."
Qingxue smiled slightly, "Don't be long-winded, big brother, you set a price."
"Okay, big sister, I won't be long-winded." Shen Feihong pondered, "Fifty catties of cornmeal and twenty catties of white noodles. "Except for the gold hairpin and the gold bracelet, the others cost little, and food is out of the question.
Chapter 0432
In this world, the good things in grandma's mouth are worthless, which is strange.
After Shen Feihong finished speaking his request, he looked at Feng Qingxue nervously, for fear that she would think she was talking a lot, but there was nothing she could do. She had to get food and manage the cadres who had private dealings with her.
Not expensive, Feng Qingxue thinks.
She nodded at Shen Feihong, "Brother Feihong, let's make an agreement, the money and the money will be paid, no backtracking is allowed!"
Shen Feihong grinned, "No backtracking, no backtracking, backtracking is a bastard! Compared with food, these Jewelry is a piece of shit? In this world, food is the most important thing. In 1961, I exchanged 200 catties of sweet potatoes for a large yard, and now the rent alone is enough for me to raise my milk." I couldn't help but credit my great achievements. Show off.
Feng Qingxue's eyes widened, two hundred catties of sweet potatoes, not dried sweet potatoes, should you change to a big yard? Great deal!
So, according to the market situation, I think that I have taken advantage of the jewelry I exchanged for coarse and fine grains, but it is actually the other party who has taken advantage of it, right? right?
Shen Feihong didn't know what Feng Qingxue was thinking, but he gave Feng Qingxue a sharp knife, "In the black market, except for gold and Yuan Datou, which can be sold for some money, other things are very cheap, and you can exchange a few catties of coarse grains. , the other party has to burn high incense. If you like big sister, I will get some for you next time, and you can prepare food for exchange." He also didn't want money.
"Brother, you are dishonest. You just said that you spent a lot of money and food, but now you say it's not worth it. Since it's not worth it, why do you accept it?" Feng Qingxue was very curious. According to common sense, ordinary people accept gold and silver Jewelry is normal and very few people ask for it.
Shen Feihong didn't hide it from her and replied, "My grandmother said that those are all good things. They used to be precious, but the world is not right, but there is no harm in keeping them in your hands. I will listen to my grandma. After getting surplus food and money, I went into various black markets, and then I dealt with those who participated in the house raids, and got a lot of things from them. Big sister, we are people in the same way, and we will communicate with each other in the future. "
"Either each other, each other."
Feng Qingxue put away her things, put them in the space directly when she returned to the bedroom, and came out to call Lu Jiang to serve the meal, and invited Shen Feihong to eat together.
Anyway, it is the general rough tea and light rice, which is not eye-catching.
After dinner, Lu Jiang loaded Shen Feihong with 20 catties of white noodles and 50 catties of cornmeal. Shen Feihong brought a noodle bag and a bamboo basket, and according to Feng Qingxue's wishes, handed him more than a dozen eggs from Cheng Baoguo. .
Shen Feihong blinked, blinking away the sourness in his eyes.
Lu Jiang sent him out of the Wanglou brigade, and when he came back, he saw a lot of people standing in the party secretary's office. It was not his own production brigade, and there was a lot of noise. There was also a mule cart that did not belong to his own production brigade, and a few single-wheel pushers. vehicle.
"What happened?" Lu Jiang stopped Wang Dachun, who hurried over. Wang Dachun stomped his foot, "What's the matter? It's the end of the year, and life will be difficult, so let's borrow grain reserves!"
If you don't feel good, don't think it's a good thing. It's not easy to be a role model. No, the extremely poor Huoguang production team has come to the door, and it is to borrow food and reserve food!
Chapter 0433 Equivalent Exchange 1
Facing the old face of Shao Jiandang, the secretary of the Huoguang Brigade, Wang Zhengguo squatted under the eaves of the office, smoking a cigarette, and was silent.
A little further away from them, there were more than a dozen strong workers of the Fire Brigade.
It is said that it is a strong labor, but the old man in the Wanglou brigade looks in good spirits. Some are shriveled and thin, some are swollen, and all of them have a pale face and confused eyes.
The people next door can't eat and are starving to death. Wang Zhenguo has flesh and blood, so he can't just sit back and watch, but there are two, and now which production team doesn't stare at this piece of fat? The Wanglou Brigade has so little reserves of food, can it stop you from borrowing from me? Their land is barren and their work value is low. Borrowing the grain reserves is equivalent to beating dogs with meat buns. There is no return.
So many people are watching, refusing to be that early bird.
The early bird Shao Jiandang wiped his face, "Wang Lao, just squeak, don't keep silent."
"Squeak!" Wang Zhengguo spit out his words in a particularly eloquent manner.
Shao Jiandang was angry and funny, "I told you to squeak and you squeaked, I said to borrow grain, you can lend me the grain! Look at you, wearing an old sheepskin jacket, smoking the front door, look at us All of them tighten their belts. If you pat your chest, don't you feel sorry for us? Have pity on us, Old Wang."
"Brother Jiandang, you are embarrassing me!" Wang Zhengguo put out his cigarette butts.
"If it wasn't for nothing, how could I beg you with an old face? It's really desperate." Shao Jiandang sighed deeply, "More than half of the upside-down households in the brigade, after handing over the public rations, the people in the brigade have nowhere to go. The food is only enough for each person to distribute 30 catties of dried sweet potatoes, and it is not enough to be half full. The village... The old Shaotou from the east of the brigade did not see him for a few days. He was only seen when the people next door came to look for him to weave Mao Weng. He has been dead for several days. The weather is cold and the body is not rotten, so no one has found it. In the twelfth lunar month of last year, during the New Year's Eve, there was no time to borrow food. Everyone was squatting at home. I asked people to take out the animal's fodder and share it with everyone, and it was only after the beginning of the year that I could beg for food."
There was a trace of grief in Shao Jiandang's eyes, and a trace of tears flashed, and continued: "Our brigade originally had ten production teams, with a total of 110 households, and now there are 58 households left, adults, the elderly and children, a total of two There are more than 100 people. Although these two years have been stronger than the first few years, the standard of public grain is still improved. There are not enough seeds, not enough labor force, and productivity cannot keep up with... Sigh! " The taller Lu Jiang and Wang Dachun could vaguely see the tears on their faces, and some of them even squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, letting out a suppressed sob.
Asking for help is inherently inferior.
People are poor and short-minded.
Does Wang Zhengguo know that what Shao Jiandang said is true? The dead starlight production brigade is next door to them.
"JianDang Brother, you know what I'm worried about. Moreover, the grain reserves are reserved according to national standards, and the amount is not allowed to exceed 1% of the total harvest." Wang Zhengguo felt the same, and could no longer refuse the help of the Huoguang Brigade.
Seeing that he was a little loose, Shao Jiandang hurriedly said: "Just help us get through this winter, Old Wang, when the first month is out, the trees will sprout, and the wild vegetables and weeds will also sprout. When the time comes, be diligent and not starve to death. More than a hundred lives, can't be less, can't be less, no more, I don't know how to face the dead and living folks!"
Chapter 0434 Equivalent Exchange 2
Wang Zhengguo did not directly agree.
His silence made Shao Jiandang's heart a little bit colder, and when it was completely cold, he heard Wang Zhengguo say: "borrow, yes."
"Really?" Shao Jiandang couldn't believe his ears. He dug his ears hard, "Lao Wang, did you really promise to lend us food? Really?" The standing and squatting men raised their heads in unison, looking at Wang Zhengguo in surprise.
Lu Jiang and Wang Dachun were very uncomfortable.
"I promised to lend you food, but I have one condition."
After listening to Wang Zhengguo's words, Shao Jiandang hurriedly said: "I agree to any conditions, not to mention one, I agree to ten or eight! Except for you. , I really have no choice."
Wang Zhengguo said earnestly: "There is nothing in the world that can be gained for nothing, and it is easy to cultivate inertia, and it is not necessarily grateful to others for their efforts. So my condition is to exchange for equal value, and I will lend you food. , I know you don't have any money, I don't want your money, and I don't need you to return it, but there is always something else that can be exchanged, right?"
Shao Jiandang was as happy as a child when he heard that he had borrowed food and did not need to return it. , but when he heard Wang Zhengguo's words behind him, he frowned, "Our production brigade only has this mule and some farm implements. We don't have anything, what can we exchange for it? Old Wang, you can't think of this mule, it's mine. My life! Without this mule, I would be twice as tired when farming is busy."
"Earth." Wang Zhengguo said.
"What did you say?"
Wang Zhengguo said, "I said I borrowed your grain, you gave me the land, and set aside a large piece of the land that your brigade could not cultivate for our brigade to grow grain. You are a mountainous area, I know, Sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are grown in the mountains, with the highest yields, and they are suitable for growing cash crops such as cotton, sunflowers, and peanuts."
"This..." Shao Jiandang was silent.
"Your brigade has more than 4,000 acres of land, can you plant it with only two or three hundred people? Do you have enough grain? Do you have enough farm implements for livestock? Don't you have it? What a pity it's deserted! Return it to us, of course not to us, the land is still yours, or it is loaned to us to grow crops. I will not plant your land in vain, and the borrowed grain does not need to be returned. When the time comes, we will harvest the public grain to help you pay the land, and the remaining I will also leave some seeds for you, which will be beneficial to your future development."
Shao Jiandang was very moved, "However, can the commune allow this? The land belongs to the state and the collective. Private people only have so much private land. I borrow the land. Giving you seeds, will it violate any law above? I also know that it is a pity that large tracts of land are deserted, but we are really clever women who can't cook without rice."
Wang Zhengguo glared at him, "I'm trying to figure out a way. Help you, help you, I don't want you to get something for nothing, so I propose a method of mutual benefit and contribution to the country!"
Shao Jiandang understood at once.
"Okay!" Shao Jiandang agreed, holding Wang Zhengguo's hand, "Our brothers went to the commune to find cadres and asked them to testify for us, saying that your Wanglou brigade is here to help our Huoguang brigade develop and help us! "
Huoguang Brigade is located in the southwest corner of Wanglou Brigade, bordering Wanglou Brigade in many places, and both belong to Dawning Commune.
The commune cadres are actually so worried that they have no choice. They have starved to death so many people under their control that they cannot explain it to their superiors. The reduction in the labor force has also resulted in the land being uncultivated, large areas of barren land, and the collection of public grains that do not meet the national standards. .
Chapter 0435 Equivalent Exchange 3
The fair deal between Wang Zhengguo and Shao Jiandang immediately made the commune cadres find a direction.
The Huoguang Brigade has wasteland, the Wanglou Brigade has grain and labor, and with such a deal, the country will get public grain, the Huoguang Brigade will have grain seeds, and the Wanglou Brigade will receive more food.
Of course, the most important thing is that the reserves of the Wanglou Brigade can save the lives of the Huoguang Brigade.
If the common people die, he will no longer be a cadre.
As a result, several commune cadres happily agreed to the transaction between the two brigades and served as witnesses to make their transaction a legal transaction, so that they would not become the target of others' attacks in the future.
The Huoguang Brigade allocated 2,000 mu of land bordering the Wanglou Brigade to the Wanglou Brigade, and Wang Zhengguo told him to take away the reserves.
Wang Zhengguo did not lend them all the grain reserves. After a while, he estimated in his heart that he borrowed a whole 10,000 catties of dried sweet potatoes. Their carts could not be pulled out. .
The granary was entered by himself, and the people from the Huoguang Brigade were not allowed in at first.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhengguo invited Shao Jiandang to go in with himself to direct everyone to work, and watched the dried sweet potatoes in the granary be transported out in baskets until the granary was empty, and only a pile of dried sweet potatoes remained, at most one or two kilograms.
"Brother Jiandang, I have helped you so much, you have to remember me. We both agreed that the grain reserves were all borrowed by you, and the Wanglou Brigade has no grain reserves. You have to keep it just in case. Who can guarantee that there is no one in the production team who needs food to save lives? You know they are waiting for you to be the first bird, and I also know that they are all about to make a move, thinking that if I lend it to you, they will have it. I borrowed it for a reason. I lent it to you because my brothers have the same aspirations and temperaments, and they are in the same commune. I also know that you are dedicated to your fathers and fellow villagers, and I will definitely not give this face to others who come here. "
Shao Jiandang agreed, "Don't worry, brother, I don't want to be that ungrateful person! But, brother, if they don't believe it, what will they do if they enter your granary?" One or two kilograms of dried sweet potatoes are enough to make people jealous.
The most important point is that the Wanglou Brigade has more than one granary, right?
Wang Zhengguo glanced at him, "Brother, don't think I can't see your thoughts! Do we have other granaries, can't you see? Those granaries are used during busy farming seasons, and the grain will be distributed after the autumn. It was given to the common people, and it was empty. There are provisions for grain reserves, how much grain can I store? I have so many mouths here! Don't you see that some of the grain reserves are old grain? It was mixed with last year's grain and this year's grain, Otherwise, where do you ask me to get 10,000 catties of dried sweet potatoes for you?"
Shao Jiandang has achieved his goal, so he doesn't care whether others can borrow food or not, and he still wants to cooperate with Wanglou Brigade for a long time! No way, the spirit of Wang Lou Brigade made him jealous.
After Wang Zhengguo sent away the people from the Huoguang Brigade, he quickly directed a few strong men to move the remaining dried sweet potatoes to the cellar.
The granary is the granary of the Lu family, and the cellar is the cellar of the Lu family.
There is a cellar under several granaries. It is not the kind of cellar dug out to store potatoes and sweet potatoes. It is a stone wall, poured with glutinous rice juice, dry and not wet, and it is specially used to store sun-dried grain. The grain of the country is hidden here, helping the Wanglou Brigade to survive one famine after another.
Chapter 0346 Equivalent Exchange 4
Knowing that the strong laborers in the cellar were carefully selected after secret discussions between Wang Zhengguo and Father Lu, and they were more prestige people in each surname, as well as Wang Zhengguo's brothers, nephews, and sons.
Every year, Wang Zhengguo would arrange for them to store the grain left over after the grain distribution in the cellar as a reserve grain.
The state has regulations, and Wang Zhengguo complies on the surface, that is, the yang respects the yin and the yin violates it.
There is no way, there are too many mouths to eat, don't do a little preparation, who will help them when the natural disaster strikes? What's the food reserve enough for? 1%, only after receiving 1 million catties of grain can we keep 10,000 catties of grain reserves.
It is better to rely on yourself than relying on the sky and relying on the ground. There is no harm in leaving a way back.
There is an extreme shortage of food all over the country, and no one can guarantee that the weather will be smooth and rainy every year. If there were natural disasters one after another, there would not be a three-year famine.
As soon as the front feet have cleaned the various granaries, there are four production brigades on the back feet to borrow food.
None of them belong to Dawning Commune.
There are a total of four production teams under Dawning Commune, Wanglou Team, Caohu Team, Huoguang Team and Red Star Team. The Red Star Team is Liujia Village where Liu Jinhua is located.
Moreover, the four production brigades belonged to three communes.
Faced with their demands, Wang Zhengguo didn't say a word, he took them directly into the granary, and read each granary.
"First come, first served, who told you to come late. How could our brigade have so much grain reserves to lend to you? The public grain was handed in, the rations were distributed, and the reserves that had been saved for several years were all lent to the Huoguang brigade. Oh, it's not borrowing, we're exchanging for equal value, our brigade planted their brigade's 2,000 acres of land, and the cadres of our commune can testify."
Wang Zhengguo talked eloquently, and the visitor came back downcast and returned empty-handed.
"Man, you always take it for granted that others have to help you, but you don't know that you can't take care of yourself, how can you have so much leisure." Wang Zhengguo shook his head, locked the granary, and walked home slowly with his hands behind his back.
After resolving the matter of the Huoguang Brigade and leaving no trouble for the time being, Wang Zhengguo raised his foot to find Father Lu.
There were only Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu in the cowshed. "Brother Lu watched his grandson go." In the past, there was no one else in the cowshed, so Father Lu had to guard. It's a lot more frequent, especially after Xi Bao was born.
Wang Zhengguo listened and turned to go to his niece's house.
Father Lu stood under the eaves with Xibao in his arms, Xibao reached out and grabbed the dangling ice edge.
These two days were warm, the snow melted, and the snow on the roof was not cleaned very well. After the remaining snow melted, water dripped down, and at night it instantly became ice, forming the current ice edge.
Strips of ice ridges, crystal clear, dripping water constantly under the sunlight.
"Xibao!" Wang Zhengguo called out.
Xi Bao was already familiar with his name, so he turned his head to look at him, and immediately turned back and continued to catch, but he couldn't catch it, so he was so anxious that he straightened up in Father Lu's arms and tried to lift himself up, but he caught it. After reaching the longest ice edge, the feeling of icy cold made him let go at once. He glanced at his little hand and looked at Father Lu, "Yeah..."
Father Lu smiled: "The ice edge is too cold, it's easy. Frozen broken hands, go and go to find Dad to bake the fire."
Before grandfather and grandson entered the kitchen, Feng Qingxue came out, holding a gourd in one hand, "Uncle came just in time, we will have dinner at our house at noon, and Ajiang will call in a while. The second uncle, the third uncle, the uncle, the aunt, and the son-in-law gathered together while Ah Jiang was at home."
Chapter 0437 We must Say Goodbye 1
As a result, Lu Jiang's face was not big enough, so he invited the second uncle, third uncle and uncle Chen Dazhuang, but he did not invite the three sons and aunts.
"You must be too fierce, and we have Xibao to go out on this matter." Feng Qingxue pushed him away and carried Xibao without asking a single one. They all refused with various excuses. Feng Qingxue knew that their aunts and sisters wanted to save food for their own family, so she could only give up because of her emotions.
There is no pork head and pork intestines, but there are other meats at home.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue rectified five dishes and one soup. There were meat and vegetables. The father and the others were drinking in the house. Feng Qingxue brought a group of children to eat in the kitchen. She specially steamed a pot of bacon rice for everyone.
The rice is covered with thick slices of bacon, the bacon melts fat when heated, immersed in the rice, and the grains are distinct and shiny.
Several children ate their mouths full of oil and were reluctant to put down their bowls.
"Aunt, don't fry and eat bacon in the future, let's make bacon rice! It's really delicious!" The rice is full of meat, and the oily feeling is still unforgettable to this day.
Feng Qingxue tapped Lu Tianzhi's forehead, "Then there must be bacon too."
"Is there no bacon? Is there any bacon sent by Uncle Fu from Southwest?" Lu Tianzhi's little face collapsed instantly. "It doesn't matter, I'll do it sometime! Our family's living standard is better than everyone else's." The elder brother told him that people are content and happy.
Song Gang said innocently: "I like someone to eat at our house the most!" You can eat delicious food.
It usually takes several days to eat meat once, but now that Uncle Lu is home, meat is often eaten at home, especially when there are guests coming, they will eat meat along with it, fragrant meat.
"Are you stupid?" Feng Qingyun poked him on the forehead, "We can keep the meat in our family and eat it slowly, and eat it every few days, so that we can eat meat more often. In front of me, there are guests in the house, they are tall and big, they have big appetites, and they ate a lot of meat, we ate it once, but there will be no more meat in the future."
"Huh?" Song Gang foolishly laughed at everyone.
"They have eaten our future meat, so what should we do?" He was so anxious that his face flushed with anxiety.
Feng Qingxue smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, your parents often send tickets and money. Next time they send tickets, I will go to the city to buy meat, so that we can all follow you and have meat to eat."
When she got here, she glared at Feng Qingyun and said sternly: "You all have to listen to me, listen carefully, there is a way to treat guests, and you can't just use up your own meat for this meal. Neglect the relatives and friends who come to our house as guests. We are able to have the present day, thanks to the help of our relatives and friends, we must keep it in our hearts and can't forget. Especially Xiaoyun, no one has ever missed your mouth, you can plan carefully , I'm also very happy that you never tell outsiders about our family, but you can't be clever and teach bad boys, and don't be too stingy, your mind will determine the pattern of life, and your vision will be long-term."
Feng Qingyun rose red . She said, "Sister, I know, I'll never joke with Gangzi like that again. Don't worry, I remember how others helped us." She just forgot that Song Gang was young and couldn't tell jokes, it was easy to Take her words seriously.
Chapter 0438 We must Say Goodbye2
While Feng Qingxue was educating her sister and other children, the man in the main room talked about what happened recently.
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone," Wang Zhengguo drank a glass of wine, "while there is no rain or snow for the past two days, first transport the manure to the 2,000 mu of land and spread it evenly, and plant sweet potatoes in spring, with high yield and drought tolerance. Then plant some cash crops such as cotton, peanuts, sunflowers, beans, etc. The old seeds are left in the warehouse. They are well stored and can be used. In this way, every family can distribute oil and cotton next autumn."
Food is not enough, food is to eat Yes, people still have to wear it.
Whether the farmers have cloth tickets or whether they have oil or not depends on whether the production team has planted cotton and crops that can be used for oil extraction.
"According to what the eldest brother said, it is quite busy. The two thousand acres of land occupy one-third of our production team." Chen Dazhuang said.
Wang Zhengguo smiled, "I must be a little tired, but when the harvest comes, you will know that the tiredness is worth it. The joy of the harvest is better than any hard work. It is better for everyone to work hard now, collect more grain and store it in the granary to save money. Be prepared for emergencies, and don't wait until the weather is unpredictable and the rain is not going well."
It is indeed worthwhile, all the folks in the Wanglou Brigade fully support any decision made by Wang Zhengguo.
With an order, men and women, old and young, were dispatched.
With such a large piece of land, they can harvest a lot of grain, even if they can't share it, they will be at ease in the granary.
People who have experienced famine are more obsessed with food.
Smash the ice layer in the manure pond. First, everyone bumped the manure accumulated in the cowshed into baskets and buckets, transported it to 2,000 mu of land, spread it very thinly, and spread it very thinly. A small part of the land was taken away, so every household picked out the plant ashes, chicken manure, duck manure, goose manure, and reincarnation of grains, etc. accumulated in their homes, and handed them over to the production team for work points.
There are regulations on how much a load of grass and tree ash should be, and how much a load of feces and urine should be.
Feng Qingxue took the children to cook at home, but didn't go to work. Even though there were only a few days left in the holiday, Lu Jiang also followed and worked very hard. Every day, he went out clean and came back smelling.
Although he was very careful, some feces inevitably splashed on him.
"Yeah!" Xibao disliked the smell, so he wouldn't let Lu Jiang get close to him without taking a bath.
"Fortunately, you are wearing your father's tattered clothes. If you get on your military uniform, the weather is so cold that your clothes will never dry out. I'll see if you're going to wear a train when you go back!" Disgusted, "Go and take a bath, hot water is boiled in the cauldron, and ask Tianjun and Acheng to wash them together before going to bed!"
"How can you be so particular, you have to work for several days, so you don't wash it, right? Waste of firewood." Lu Jiang sniffed his arm, "I used to be in the army, and I was just like a clay figurine. If I bathed every day, I wouldn't have to fight."
"Can fighting be compared to dung? Washing or not washing. It's up to you, if you don't wash it, you will sleep in the cowshed with your father."
That's not good! Finally, the wife and children are hot on the kang head, who is willing to give up?
Lu Jiang quickly went to scoop up water to take a bath, and ran back quickly. As for Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng, they took off their clothes and put them outside, washed their feet, washed their faces, and fell asleep early after eating and drinking. .
Half-aged teenagers like Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng just scooped the dung water from the septic tank into buckets, or put dry dung into baskets with a shovel.
Chapter 0439 We must say Goodbye 3
After doing this, the entire Wanglou Brigade was filled with stench inside and out.
Even in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, this stench cannot be stopped.
Feng Qingyun's children were reluctant to go out. They hid in the house every day to play with Xibao. Feng Qingxue just got out and made clothes, shoes, socks and dry food for Lu Jiang. At night, he changed his body armor and made several coats.
Because the Wanglou brigade was not finished with the feces work, and Lu Jiang was about to leave.
This goodbye, and I don't know when we will see each other again.
"Hey, little fat man, you haven't learned to call your father yet!" You have to get on the train at six o'clock in the morning tomorrow. After dinner, Lu Jiang took a hot bath and soaped up. Dressed in long trousers, he sat on the bed and teased his fat son.
Feng Qingxue was packing his luggage when she heard this, tears came out all of a sudden.
Lu Xibao was lying on the bed with his back on his back, grabbed Lu Jiang's hand and put it on his belly, Lu Jiang patted his belly, and the little guy giggled with joy, not knowing at all that he wouldn't be able to see the big man in front of him tomorrow. .
After kneading and teasing for a while, Lu Jiang heard the choking sound, and immediately raised his head, "Wife..."
He was about to get out of bed to comfort his wife, but Xibao grabbed his trousers, "Yah!"
"Let go . "Little fat man, didn't you see your mother crying?" Lu Jiang gently pushed Xi Bao to the inside with his feet, got out of bed and hugged Feng Qingxue from behind, "Wife, I'm sorry, I'm leaving again."
"Don't say sorry, you go, I'll wait for you, and wait for you to return safely."
Feng Qingxue's nasal voice was very heavy, but thinking of her husband's responsibilities, she could only hold back her reluctance.
Xibao tossed and turned on the bed unhappily, "Ahhhh!"
Seeing that his chubby body was about to roll to the side of the bed, Lu Jiang had to let go of his wife, carried him in his arms, and turned to Feng Qingxue , two faces with very similar features, one big and one small, are facing Feng Qingxue, with the same eyebrows, the same eyes, the same nose and mouth, "Xibao, tell your mother, don't be sad, my father will definitely Come back safely."
"Yeah?" Xibao's eyes widened and he reached out to his mother.
Feng Qingxue didn't hold him like before, but continued her work, packing the clothes she made for Lu Jiang in the past few days into a bag, "I've packed everything to eat, I have something to cook, and there is room for it. It's cold, you can stand it, don't treat yourself badly on the road, and often ask the flight attendant to bring you some boiled water. I know you belong to the plateau area, and you have two cans of snake oil ointment for you, you remember to wipe it every day Face and hands and feet, don't see your true colors when you come back, Xibao doesn't like to play with you! The photos of your family are in your wallet, and now there is a third uncle on it to inform us about family affairs , you don't have to worry about it. Your main task is to take care of yourself, protect yourself, and come back with all your tails."
Lu Jiang suppressed the surging love in his heart, and nodded his head again and again, "Wife, you Don't worry, with you and Xibao waiting for me at home, no matter how difficult it is, I will come back to find you. Thinking of you, I have infinite courage, and I will take care of myself even more so that you do not worry at home "
You can't just say it with your mouth, you have to prove it with your actions and prove your promise to me today."
"Wife, I will definitely do it."
Chapter 0440 We must Say Goodbye 4
Lu Jiang went on the road in the early morning, and Feng Qingxue handed Xi Bao to Lu's father to take care of him, and he personally sent Lu Jiang to the station.
The two were pushing bicycles and carrying luggage, but they walked side by side.
When I walked to the train station, I bought a train ticket with the letter of introduction and his ID, and it was almost time to get on the train.
The passengers around come and go, two people you look at me, I look at you, a thousand words are not enough to describe the sadness of life and separation.
Under the eyes of the public, the two men and women who love each other deeply cannot make any affectionate actions, but can only express their love with their eyes, affectionately and tenderly.
The cold wind can't blow away the heat in my heart.
Feng Qingxue suddenly said: "Go back and ask if your family can visit relatives. If you can, when Xibao is older, I'll take him to see you. If you don't have a holiday next year, we'll go to you. When you're not at home. , I will point to your photo to teach him how to call him dad, he will definitely call you dad when he sees you again, you don't need to call him dad, and the identities of father and son are reversed."
"Okay, I'll ask when I go back! "Lu Jiang wiped his face, he knew in his heart that there was little hope.
The border guards where they are now stationed are not where they used to be. The weather is so bad that many soldiers can't bear it, not to mention their families. Therefore, family members will not be allowed to visit the soldiers, for fear of causing irreversible mistakes due to altitude sickness.
A long whistle sounded, and the big horn reminded passengers that the train had entered the station.
"I'm leaving." Lu Jiang had to speak.
Feng Qingxue looked at him, holding back her tears, "You go, I'll watch, I'll watch you go, don't look back, I'm afraid you'll look back, I'm reluctant to let you go. Ajiang, I'll wait. Come back."
Lu Jiang turned around resolutely and walked into the station with his luggage and following the flow of people.
He listened to Feng Qingxue's words and did not turn his head, but if the passenger walking in front of him turned his head, he would see two tears streak across his face, his eyes were full of reluctance, but full of determination.
Until she couldn't see Lu Jiang's back, Feng Qingxue squatted down, pulled the scarf to cover her face, and wept softly.
"Comrade, why are you crying?" asked a middle-aged aunt who was waiting to pick him up with concern.
Feng Qingxue raised her tear-stained face, "My lover is away." The middle-aged aunt smiled when she heard it, "Is it reluctant? It's normal. You are still young, so it is inevitable that you will miss each other. When you are older, take care of each other every day. Children, don't have that mind."
"You're right." But she still misses her husband, and she won't forget that she is a wife because of the children.
Push the bike and walk back slowly.
When it was dawn, there were many pedestrians. She pulled a scarf around her face and wore a Lei Feng hat.
After Lu Jiang left, Feng Qingxue didn't have the heart to go shopping, and he didn't prepare anything. He couldn't do anything if he wanted to send things to his grandparents and grandparents in his previous life, so she went home directly.
The girl in front complained crisply: "It smells bad, Mom, is this the Wanglou Brigade? Why did you bring me here in such a smelly and dirty place?" The older woman said, "I will take you to visit relatives. Aren't you coming by yourself?"
Feng Qingxue was stopped when she was riding her bicycle and passed them by.
"Hey, stop for a moment, stop for a moment." The girl who spoke before was very rude, "I have something to ask you, stop!"
Feng Qingxue ignored her and rode home directly.
