The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, frogs are singing and insects are chirping.
Luo Xuan took advantage of the moonlight and hurried home.
When school was over in the afternoon, Qiu Guiying, Qiu Xiaogang, and the two siblings had already sent a cart and dozens of kilograms of corn home for themselves.
Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang, who were born in the production team, were not involved in such high-profile and glamorous things as the school organizing students in the afternoon to deliver machines to the countryside.
The reason for this cannot be explained in detail in words.
Now that the threshing machine and threshing machine have been taken care of, there is no point in staying at school anyway, so Luo Xuan plans to go home and take a look.
The foundation stones at home are a very important part of building a house. Luo Xuan wanted to see if the quality of the stones was good enough and how the stones were placed.
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ding were responsible for leveling the site and digging drainage channels.
But after digging the foundation pit and placing the stones, Uncle Zhang subcontracted it to Luo Tiezhu.
Originally, according to the rules in rural areas, if anyone wanted to build a house during this period, most of the time it would be relatives and friends who would come to help.
Then, for some of the more technical tasks, craftsmen will be invited to help.
But even if you hire people to work, most of them will only pay for food and cigarettes and a little salary.
In rural areas, there is really no such thing as Luo Tiezhu's practice of letting him contract work and materials.
This method of subcontracting work and materials, which was common in later generations, was proposed by Luo Xuan.
Considering Luo Tiezhu at that time, he actually wanted to come over and help him build a house. However, Luo Tiezhu was a stone man, and he would not take the initiative to speak out his thoughts.
Therefore, Luo Xuan relied on this pure business relationship to leave all the work of foundation installation to Luo Tiezhu.
finally,
No matter how much or how little he earns, it is Luo Tiezhu's own ability. Between himself and Luo Tiezhu, no one owes anyone any favors.
This contracting method is simple and crude, and makes each other more relaxed.
However, Luo Xuan had one request at that time: Wang, as a person, was absolutely not allowed to step within three meters of his own territory.
Otherwise, Luo Xuan would ask to settle the accounts immediately and no longer ask Luo Tiezhu to help him.
When Uncle Zhang conveyed Luo Xuan's request to Luo Tiezhu.
Luo Tiezhu, a real stone man, neither nodded nor shook his head at that time; he was neither angry nor showed any excitement.
However, Wang did not appear near the construction site where Luo Xuan built his house.
I don’t know how Luo Tiezhu did this.
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ding both said that with Wang's never-ending temper, he has become so honest now?
This must be Luo Tiezhu, who is quick in action but slow in speech. He chewed his steel teeth into pieces and stabbed Mr. Wang several times!
If Wang was not stabbed in pain, scared, and screamed, the overly energetic woman would not have been able to calm down like this.
However, Luo Xuan certainly didn't know what Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ding were talking about.
The reason why I want to go home tonight is to see the progress of the project at home. This is just one of the factors.
Another point is: there is not much food stored at home. Luo Xuan now needs to go back and fill the granary at home.
After a period of busy farming, the family will need to officially start building a house.
At that time, the demand for food would increase dramatically, and Qiu Xiaogang and Qiu Guiying would have to transport food to their homes piecemeal every day.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to guarantee the daily food requirements of the family.
Luo Xuan has cut less than half of the rice fields in the space.
As expected, the space can be used to automatically thresh and dehydrate corn and rice.
Luo Xuan did a rough calculation and found that the small half of rice cut in the space might weigh more than 400 kilograms.
It is estimated that when all the rice is harvested, about 1,000 kilograms of grain may be harvested.
The rice planting area in the space is about 6% of the land, but it can harvest about 1,000 kilograms of rice.
Calculated, this yield is not ridiculously high compared to the yield of hybrid rice in later generations.
But fortunately, you can grow a lot of food in the space in a year.
If you calculate it this way, the food output that this space can produce every year in the future is quite impressive!
Therefore, the food production in this space does not necessarily depend on its area.
Rather, it depends on Luo Xuan's own diligence.
Now that his health was getting better and better, Luo Xuan walked quickly for about half an hour and arrived at the door of his house.
I was just about to reach out and push the bamboo fence door open.
But he saw this row of people sitting under the eaves of his house.
"Duoduo? Duoduo, are you back?"
The first voice that sounded was Xiaocao's voice, "Haha, my Duoduo is really back!"
As Xiaocao said this, she spread her short legs and flew over.
Luo Xuan leaned over and kissed her little cheek, "Run slowly, brother has brought you something good. Don't worry, you go wash your hands and come back to get something to eat."
Xiaocao is now dressed more cleanly, and her hair is combed and neatly.
The runny nose and saliva that were common on her face before were gone.
This little girl movie!
Now she also knows that she loves to be clean and beautiful.
As expected, only when you have enough resources can you know the honor and disgrace.
Hearing that there was something good to eat, Xiaocao said "Hey" and turned around to wash his hands in the kitchen.
This old thatched house in Luoxuan has only two rooms in total, plus a small kitchen.
Xiaocao didn't need to light a torch or light a lamp. She could clearly feel the layout of the room with her eyes closed.
The good thing Luo Xuan brought back to Xiao Cao this time was 2 taels of "match cakes".
This so-called "match cake" is actually a pastry made from glutinous rice and sugar.
There is also a little peanut mixed in the middle of the pastry, which tastes sweet and fragrant, and can also fill your belly.
Because this kind of pastry can be torn into pieces as thin as match sticks, and the two ends of the pastry are also painted red.
When you pull one off, it looks exactly like a match.
Therefore, everyone calls it "match cake".
This kind of pastry produced and sold by the Hongxing Township Supply and Marketing Cooperative is not very high-end. It costs 1 yuan and 35 cents per pound.
The price is not particularly expensive, and many urban residents and working-class families can afford it.
Unfortunately, match cakes also require pastry tickets to buy, so this kind of pastry is particularly precious.
Even if many people buy a few taels of match cake to take home, they are reluctant to eat it.
Instead, use it as a gift for those who are more important and closer to you.
Set up the grass.
Only then did Luo Xuan go to the eaves and sit down.
At this time, I saw a broken straw mat placed under the eaves, and the three brothers of the Zhou family were sitting on it.
And the person sitting at the very edge turned out to be Dai Hongmei.
"Luo Xuan, why did you come back so late?"
Boss Zhou said, "In a few days, the production team will start to be busy with farming. By then, I will have to go to the fields to help cut the rice.
Let me tell you first, I'm afraid I won't be able to dig up many earthworms for you in those few days. It will also take less time to work here."
When the production team is busy, even the young men have to go to the fields to work.
During the rice harvesting period, it was different from usual times. The production team had no choice as to whether they wanted to earn those work points or not.
As long as the members of the commune cannot work to death, everyone will have to work to death!
Luo Xuan reached out and patted Boss Zhou, "It's okay. I'll be at home then. That's all we have to do at home. As long as we don't build houses or build roads, we won't be busy."
"Hey, I see why all of you are so droopy and dejected?"
Luo Xuan noticed something strange, "What's wrong? Aunt Zhang doesn't let you eat so much oil and water, or is there too much corn crumbs in the rice?"
Zhou Laoer shook his head, "The food I eat while working here is better than when I celebrate the New Year at home!"
Don’t say there’s no corn crumbs in the rice, I’m happy with it even if it’s all corn rice! Don’t you know, the corn crumbs you bought are really sweet and much more delicious than the corn rice we have at home.”
Zhou Laosan also took over the conversation and said, "Aunt Zhang did not deduct our food. She put several spoons of lard in the vegetable bowl every day, and there was also a lot of oil residue. It is so delicious!"
Luo Xuan was even more surprised, "Since your food is decent, why are you so listless? Are you feeling dizzy after eating too much?"
"well--"
The three brothers sighed in unison, "My dad is getting married soon. How can this make people happy?"
Dou Baijun went to jail.
His mother-in-law, Ye Erniang, went to the township office the next day to go through the divorce procedures with him.
Everyone in the production team estimated that Ye Erniang might have had a relationship with the breeder, Uncle Zhou, in the past, and there was something... hehe.
after all,
As the head of the family, Dou Baijun knew all day long that he looked like a dog in the production team wearing his old military uniform.
But he pretends to be first-class, but when it comes to work, he is third-rate.
Dou Baijun's family has four children. He pretends to be a big cadre all day long, but he can't pretend to be a pound of food.
Since Dou Baijun cannot afford to raise his four children, it is very possible that the breeder, Uncle Zhou, is secretly helping him...
But this kind of thing, as long as you don't get real evidence from others and everyone laughs, forget it.
Besides, for thousands of years, this kind of nonsense has not been too common in rural areas.
Issues related to life style, unless you are a public servant.
If ordinary people do this, as long as they don't follow the rules and go online, everyone will laugh and say: It's a big deal!
It's over.
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "Your father is a widower, and Ye Erniang is a young widow. It is normal for them to get married and live together. Marriage is free."
"She also has 4 kids!"
Zhou Laosan almost jumped up, "My family is already in a state of food shortage. My alcoholic father used all the corn to make corn wine and drank it. She is bringing four children over, let's have a go at it!"
"Alas~"
Zhou Laoer sighed, "Whether my father gets married or not is none of our brothers' football business. I'm just worried that after Ye Erniang moves to my house, my father will fight against our three brothers. I'm afraid he will
More ruthless."
Zhou Laosan gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Well, in the past, when we, the eldest and the second brother, fought against Dou Dou, Dou buds were still too few, and the attack was still too light.
If I had known earlier, I wish you had hammered those two Dou family members to death..."
The three brothers from the Zhou family love to cause trouble and bully other children in the Zhengxing Sixth Production Team.
The Dou Dou and Dou Ya whom Zhou Laosan mentioned just now are the two boys among the four children born to Dou Baijun and Ye Erniang.
The other two girls are named Dou Xiang and Dou Cui respectively.
This shows how much Dou Baijun likes to eat bean sprouts. It is estimated that he was a monk in his previous life, or he was a sailor.
Just now,
The worry of the second child of the Zhou family is actually very likely to turn out to be true.
As the old saying goes, poor couples suffer from everything.
Uncle Zhou's family, which was already poor, suddenly had five more mouths to eat.
One can imagine the dilemma the Zhou family will find themselves in in the future.
That Uncle Zhou who usually likes to use his children as drum hammers.
Then I looked at those big and small mouths waiting for breasts.
As you can imagine, Uncle Zhou's mood will definitely not be any better at that time!
Uncle Zhou was unhappy, so he just drank to drown his sorrows.
Once he finishes drinking, he will definitely beat the three brothers of the Zhou family to death!
No wonder these three brothers came to Luo Xuan to sit here tonight. It turned out that the thought of their father getting married soon made them so anxious that they couldn't sleep.
It's just that this is a family matter, and the cadres at the brigade headquarters can't take care of it.
Then there is no need for me to catch a few lice on my head and come back.
