Li's old house!

After coming out of the research institute, Zhou Yang did not go to the brigade headquarters immediately. Instead, he asked Chen Beixuan to drive to the Li family's old house.

At this time, it was a different scene in the Li family's old house.

There is a large cattail basket with a diameter of more than 1.5 meters on the floor of the main room. Zhang Guiying and several daughters-in-law are sitting around the cattail basket, and then they are rubbing the corn sticks with their hands. The inside of the cattail basket has been peeled off thickly.

A thick layer of corn kernels.

But compared to the mountains of corn sticks outside the yard, it is simply not worth mentioning.

On the fire bed nearby, several little dolls were rolling around and playing.

Perhaps because he was worried about the children falling on the floor, there was a row full of quilts and snakeskin bags on the edge of the kang.

"Mom, there are so many sticks, how long can we keep rubbing them with our hands?"

Hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Zhang Guiying smiled and said, "It's not a good idea to rub corn sticks every day. What comes off is all grain!"

"Mom, given our family's situation, I guess it will take at least a whole winter!" It was Wang Lixia, the third daughter-in-law, who spoke.

"Winter is a winter, and the longer you rub it, the better. If you rub it from now until next winter, then we're going to lose it!" Zhang Guiying said.

Lin Aizhi, the eldest daughter-in-law on the side, said with a smile: "Mom is so hungry that she is reluctant to let go of the food!"

But Zhong Na shook her head and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, I heard someone said that each person in the village has at least 2,780 cornbread sticks this year. How many do you think our family has?"

"This...fourth brother and sister, you also know that none of us have read books, how can we tell!"

"Yes, sister-in-law, you have been to school. Can you calculate how many sticks our family has divided this year?"

Zhong Na immediately said: "I have really calculated this. We have a total of 19 people in our family. In terms of food per head alone, we can get more than 54,000 corn sticks, plus our work share.

And my brother-in-law’s side has at least more than 90,000 sticks!”

"Nine...more than ninety thousand, is that much?"

Zhang Guiying was also startled and asked in surprise.

"Just a little more!"

"Oh my god, how long can we do this with so many sticks!" Wang Lixia said with her mouth wide open.

"I took a look yesterday. We only did more than 600 massages in the whole day. According to this calculation, it will take at least 5 months!" Zhong Na said.

"5...5 months!"

Now everyone in the room was stunned. Thinking about the next five months of doing nothing but sitting here rubbing corn sticks every day, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Even Zhang Guiying felt that 5 months was a bit too long at this time!

Thinking of this, she immediately said: "No, we alone can't do it all. I'll call all the men in your family over to rub sticks at night. The children can't be idle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Na said: "The eldest brother and the third brother should be fine, but our country is not strong. He is studying hard to get into college!"

Lin Aizhi and Wang Lixia couldn't help but feel a little envious when they heard the words "going to college."

Of the five children in Lao Li's family, only the two youngest ones have studied.

Needless to say, my sister-in-law has always had good academic performance. If the college entrance examination had not been suddenly canceled in those years, she might have been admitted to university long ago based on her grades.

Although the fourth child, Li Guoqiang, has average academic performance, he has not put away his books in the past two years. It is said that among the many educated youth members in the village, he is considered to be among the best. He might really pass the exam this time.

In comparison, the two eldest men in their family are almost boring...

At this moment, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from outside.

Several people immediately stood up and looked outside.

Through the small glass, they saw a jeep parked at the gate.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang and his guards were seen walking in, each holding a black iron lump.

When Zhou Yang walked into the house, his mother-in-law Zhang Guiying immediately said: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, sister-in-law Lin Aizhi looked at the weird machine in Zhou Yang's hand and asked, "Uncle, what is this? What are you doing with this?"

"This is specially used to peel corn kernels, and it's much faster than rubbing it by hand!"

Hearing this, the eyes of several women in the room lit up, and they immediately asked: "His uncle, what is this machine like? Is it really faster than rubbing it by hand?"

Zhou Yang didn't explain too much and immediately demonstrated it in front of his mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law.

When Zhang Guiying, Lin Aizhi and others saw Zhou Yang peeling off a corn stick with just a shake of his hand, they were all stunned. ωωw..net

In less than a minute, a dozen cobs turned into bare corn cobs. This speed really surprised and delighted the sisters-in-law.

"This...this is so useful, so powerful!"

"With this thing, we will save a lot of time!"

"His uncle is really a capable man. He can even make this thing..."

Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed to be praised by several sisters-in-law. Thinking that Lao Li was coming soon, he immediately said: "Mom, sisters-in-law, you can use these two threshers first, and I will send them to you in a few days."

Come here a few more!"

"Director Li from the county is still waiting for me at the brigade headquarters, so I'll leave first!"

Zhang Guiying smiled and said: "If you have something to do, just do it first!"

Zhou Yang nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked to the edge of the kang and looked at the two grown-ups.

There are four children on the kang. In addition to Dabao and Xiaobao, there are also Li An from the fourth brother's family and the little girl from the third brother's family.

The remaining children in the family are older and have been sent to school.

Children Zhou Jiacheng and Zhou Jiaxin are already a week and a half old. Not only can they walk now, but they can also bab and talk.

After seeing Zhou Yang, the two little guys immediately dropped their little cloth tigers and staggered towards him with their hands open, with innocent smiles on their faces.

"Ah, I'm afraid... Bubbles..."

Although Zhou Yang is quite busy at work, he still plays with his son for a while when he goes home every night. Naturally, he has mastered a certain amount of "alien language" and knows that his son wants to be hugged.

However, Zhou Yang also knew that these two brats would not be able to get off once they were hung up on him, so he just touched their little faces through the sacks filled with food, and then said: "Dad, I still have something to do. You guys stay with grandma and aunt first."

Stay!"

He knew that if he turned around, the two little guys would cry.

Zhou Yang then walked to the big red cabinet against the wall, found the milk powder, and prepared half a bottle of milk powder each for Dabao, Xiaobao and the little girl of the third brother's family.

As for Li An, the fourth brother's family, the little guy doesn't take milk powder at all because his breast milk is so good.

After the children got the bottles, they all concentrated on drinking from Grandma. Zhou Yang took the opportunity to retreat quietly!

When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, Li Changqing hadn't arrived yet, but Wang Ping, Zhang Genwang and the others were all there.

At that moment, Zhou Yang immediately moved the last thresher to the office of the brigade headquarters and demonstrated it to everyone.

After Wang Ping, Zhang Genwang and others saw the threshing effect and efficiency of this thing, their expressions were the same as their mother-in-law's, surprised, happy, and excited...

After calming down a little, Wang Ping immediately asked: "Where did this thing come from? It's so useful!"

"I made it. I have already asked people to produce it in large quantities. When it is ready, it will be distributed to various production teams and used by the members!" Zhou Yang said.

"That's great!" Wang Ping said happily.

"It's good, but we can't let others suffer. We still have to give the money that should be given!" Zhou Yang said.

"Is this thing expensive?"

"Don't worry, it won't cost much to make for the village. I guess it can be kept within 5 yuan!" Zhou Yang said.

Hearing this, Wang Ping felt relieved.

"It's not expensive. How about ordering a thousand from the village first?"

"Okay, but I guess one thousand units is a bit too little. After all, our village has planted more than 10,000 acres of corn this year. I think two thousand units should be about the same!" Zhou Yang said.

"Then two thousand!"

"I'll make them work overtime when I get back!"

Then Zhou Yang asked again: "By the way, it's already November. Have you calculated the cash income of the village?"

"Not yet, Accountant Liang said it will take at least half a month!"

"Well, let them hurry up and try to settle the account before the end of November!"

"So urgent?"

"Yes, the educated youth will have their exams in December. Once the results are announced, they will leave and disperse. We have to have someone in our team get the money before they leave!"

"Okay, I understand..."
