Chapter 7 Don’t want to grow rice

"Xiaoye, are you back?"

Liu Hanming's voice came from the yard.

"Uncle, why are you doing it so late? The sun has already set."

Liu Ye walked out of the hall and came to the small courtyard. Liu Hanming was holding a big buffalo in his hand.

It can be seen that the belly of the big buffalo is round and full.

"That bastard Liu Haitao is really bad. Yesterday it was his turn to use the cows at home. He made the cows work all day, but he didn't give them anything to eat and led them directly into the cowshed! When I went to work with the cows to plow the fields today, the cows were so hungry.

It’s so flat that it can barely move.”

At present, the household contract responsibility system has just been implemented. The production team's dozen cattle are divided into more than a dozen labor groups. Each group has ten households. When cattle are needed for plowing, they are used among each other within the group. The same is true for cattle herding.

Put them in turns.

This operation has created a new problem, that is, farmers with evil intentions only use cattle and do not care about raising cattle. Liu Haitao is such a person.

Liu Hanming didn't care how much the game was sold for, and asked: "Xiao Ye, the wild boars are still growing in the sky in your three-thirds of an acre of land. When are you going to plow the field?"

The time when the household quota was implemented was after the "double rush". In the fields with good water supply conditions, the second-crop rice seedlings have grown five or six inches high. Some have even been tilled for the second time. In places like Wild Boar Ridge, how many months, for God's sake,

There was no rain, so even the early rice harvest was only half.

"Uncle, I was just thinking about this."

Liu Ye took out a "Pegasus" brand cigarette and handed it to Liu Hanming.

Liu Hanming put the cigarette to his nose, sniffed it, and asked with a smile: "You kid actually learned to smoke cigarettes? This thing is not as beneficial as my old yellow cigarettes!"

"Uncle laughed. These cigarettes cost five cents a pack."

"Every penny is money! Don't waste it if you can."

"Uncle taught me a lesson." Liu Ye lit his cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Uncle, I am not going to plant rice on that land!"

"oh?"

Liu Hanming was surprised. The wild boar farm has more than ten acres of land, involving eight farmers. The water supply conditions are not good.

I think back then, in order to transform these cultivated lands, the labor force of the production team had to pay a lot. Now Liu Ye actually said that he was not going to plant rice.

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Hanming took a puff from the dry pipe and asked with squinting eyes.

Liu Ye knew very well that because there was no water source, the paddy fields in Yezhulang later turned into dry land. Every household stopped growing rice.

"Uncle, look at this day. It hasn't rained in three months. Judging from the weather, we can't wait until it rains to plant rice, so I want to replant some sweet potatoes as soon as possible."

Liu Han understood Liu Ye and asked, "Do you want Huahua and Linlin to grow up eating sweet potatoes? We are used to eating rice, and sweet potatoes are not a staple food!"

Liu Ye knew very well that old production captains like Liu Hanming had little sense of market economy in their minds. What he could not imagine at all was that many farmers in later generations would abandon their cultivated land and go directly to work in cities, and still make a lot of money.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Hanming said:

"My child, I will help you plow the land tomorrow morning. You can decide what to plant and how to plant it. I have no control over it. You are so seriously injured, so take care of yourself."

"Okay. I'll thank you in advance. Uncle, you plowed the ground for me and I will pay for the work."

"What are you talking about about money? Brat, as long as you support your family well and be a good person, I will be happy."

Although he was his uncle, the old captain Liu Hanming was really kind to him. Liu Ye said a few polite words and returned to his poor family.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Ye smelled the fragrant food.

On the dinner table, there is a plate of fried cabbage with green peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with peppers, and a small plate of fermented bean curd.

This was the first big meal Liu Ye had after his rebirth. Compared with later generations, this little life was indeed shabby, but Liu Ye was already very satisfied.

When Huahua and Linlin saw delicious food on the table, their mouths watered.

Liu Ye was also very hungry. He had walked more than sixty miles back and forth all day long, and he only ate three steamed buns.

He smiled and said: "There are eggs to eat!"

Li Cuiyu said: "The eggs are all given by the mountain grandma. She raised more than a dozen hens and picked up more than ten eggs every day. The two old people couldn't finish eating them, so they sent them to Huahua and Linlin to replenish their health.

"

"Hey, you are still having dinner."

The small door creaked open and an old woman with small feet walked in.

She is Grandma Shan.

Liu Ye only knew that she was Liu Zushan's old woman, but he really didn't know her real name.

"Grandma Shan, have you eaten?"

Li Cuiyu moved a stool and motioned for Grandma Shan to sit on it. Grandma Shan refused.

"Old man, I finish work early today."

Mountain Grandma is not tall, only about 1.55 meters. Under the pressure of life, the wrinkles on her face look like pine bark.

"That shameless Donghai actually asked me for twenty yuan today, saying he had no money to buy fertilizer! It really pissed me off. His me is sixty-three years old, and he actually wants to ask me for money. This

Are you still human?"

Liu Zushan has four sons: Liu Donghai, Liu Dongfeng, Liu Dongwen, and Liu Chunhai. Among them, the eldest Liu Donghai is already in his early forties and is also a gambler. What he said about having no money to buy fertilizer must be false. Gambling is the only way to have no money.

real.

Liu Ye knew very well what happened to Grandma Shan. Therefore, when he saw her, he always had mixed feelings in his heart.

Because Liu Zushan will die in one year. Once Liu Zushan dies, Grandma Shan will have to wander around the world again.

In this life, tragedy must not be allowed to happen again!

Li Cuiyu said: "Grandma Shan, Donghai is not a good person. Did you give him the money?"

Grandma Shan: "No! Where did I get the money? In addition to farming and vegetables, Lao Wantou and I also raised two pigs and more than a dozen chickens as a side job. The two of us were barely living, so how could we give him any money? Besides, he

I have four sons, which one is going to be successful?"

Liu Ye: "Grandma Shan, you are doing the right thing. Regardless of whether you have money or not, you must save some money to accompany you. Grandpa Shan's four sons, you are unreliable."

The mountain lady pouted and said disdainfully: "My son needs to be born, and the land needs to be plowed deeply. I have never thought about relying on them. The worst is death. After I die, my misery will come to an end. The Lord of Hell is not interested in me."

Okay, that was the evil I did in my previous life. In this life, I have been cultivating my mind!"

Grandma Shan was still chatting with Li Cuiyu. Huahua and Linlin had already dozed off.

After a whole day of hard work, their thin bodies could not bear it. Both of them were like chickens pecking at rice, sitting on the table and stools ready to fall off at any moment.

Liu Ye put Huahua and Linlin to sleep on the bed, and picked up the bucket to go to the well to fetch water.

There is no water in the water tank. It’s such a hot day and I haven’t even taken a shower.
