It's a pity that the surrounding terrain is not very flat, with rugged rocks and slopes or ridges, making it difficult to build a larger house.
Luo Xuan sat by the pool and looked around, but couldn't figure out where the water came from.
Perhaps there is seepage in the crevices at the bottom of the pool to replenish the water source, Luo Xuan thought.
The small pools are not big, there are only about a dozen, less than twenty square meters.
The water inside is not deep either.
The deepest point seems to be only about one meter.
Luo Xuan sat by the pond, carefully evaluated the pros and cons, and finally decided to choose the open space next to the small pond as his homestead.
There are many open spaces in the mountains,
In the wilderness, if anyone has his eye on a piece of barren slope and wants to use it as his homestead, he only needs to go to the brigade headquarters and say hello, and the production team and brigade will usually approve it.
I looked carefully at the terrain around the small pool.
Luo Xuan is thinking about where to build a house and how to design the layout of the house?
There are some scattered pieces of land between the rocks next to it. The area is not large, ranging from a few square meters to more than ten square meters of open space.
Luo Xuan planned to level them out so that he could have some small private plots for himself.
In fact, I can’t eat all the things I grow in my own space. Whether these private plots are cultivated or not, it doesn’t mean much to me.
It's just like the emperor appointing so many concubines: whether they are used or not is one thing.
Configuration is still required.
By the time Luo Xuan had made preliminary plans for the layout of his refuge, the sky had begun to change. There was a rumble of thunder and waves of mountain wind blowing...
A heavy rainstorm in the afternoon comes at any time.
Hiding under the rocks beside the small stone pool, Luo Xuan stared at the storm outside in a daze.
When Luo Xuan sent the wild boar out to deal with that bad old man, Luo Xuan was afraid that the wild boar would become more animalistic and fuck him too hard...
But fortunately, in space, wild boars that are accustomed to being fed highly sweet sweet potatoes are obviously not interested in things outside the space.
After Luo Xuan poured a bowl of sweet potato porridge into Cao Zigao's crotch, the wild boar just licked up the porridge.
However, the wild boar has long tusks and a greedy mouth.
When it was biting the sweet potato chunks, its mouth was a little bit harsh... and it pulled something off Cao Zigao's body.
That's fine, we don't have to worry about each other.
If Cao Zigao doesn't change his moral character, he will sooner or later eat peanuts because of his style!
Although he is now missing a few spare parts, he can save his life and be a good member of the production team in the future.
Maybe Cao Zigao will be rated as an "outstanding member" in the future!
It's pretty good to think about it.
Luo Xuan sighed slightly and thought: From now on, no one will harass that silly girl Qiu Guiying, right?
Just let her live in peace for the rest of her life.
Just thinking wildly.
Several vague calls came from the rain, "Luo Xuan! Luo Xuan, where are you?"
Luo Xuan replied several times.
After a while, I saw two figures walking in the rain.
It turned out to be Bu Yaoming and Xiao Laojun's captain, wearing bamboo hats and raincoats, looking for him.
When the two of them hid under the cliff, Bu Yaoming and the team leader took off their raincoats and shook off the rainwater from their bodies.
"Captain, Uncle Bu, come and smoke a cigarette."
Luo Xuan opened a box of "Battle Brand" cigarettes, took out two cigarettes and handed them to the two of them, "Why are you here in such a heavy rain?"
Bu Yaoming took the cigarette, lit it with the match handed over by Luo Xuan, and took a long puff.
Then he said, "There are traces of wild boars nearby. We were worried that something might be wrong with you, so we came to take a look."
The captain looked at the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile, "What a good smoke! Last time I went to the countryside for a meeting, I met that guy from the Wutong Brigade, and he had half a pack of these cigarettes... You don't know, at that time
He's showing off! That's what makes a person arrogant."
When Luo Xuan heard this, he stuffed the pack of cigarettes into the captain's pocket.
"What are you doing?"
The captain glared at Luo Xuan, "I'm just angry at his show-off! We can't buy this brand of goods. In fact, as long as it can emit smoke, it's the same to me."
As he said that, the captain took out a 5-cent note and a 2-cent note from his pocket and handed them to Luo Xuan, "Take them. We are not looking for this small advantage, but with this box of cigarettes, after two
When our brigade goes to the grain station to hand over public grain, we can use it to calm the scene."
Luo Xuan smiled, took the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
The cadres of this period were actually very honest, so Luo Xuan was not polite to the captain.
It’s not that people need to take out this pack of cigarettes to show off, but they need to consider that in two days, Xiao Laojun’s production team will go out to do errands.
If he could take out such a pack of cigarettes, the inspector at the grain station would also be able to take a high look at him.
Bu Yaoming took a greedy drag on the cigarette and then slowly spit it out.
He opened his mouth and said, "Luo Xuan, I heard last time that you have access to the grain station. How about... we go and hand over the public grain the day after tomorrow? After all, it rained today. We have to wait for the road to dry tomorrow before we can leave."
During this period, there are regulations on the time for each production team to hand in public grain.
The superiors will plan which production teams should deliver the public rations on which day, rather than just when the production teams want to deliver the public rations.
It's just that the situation of Xiao Laojun production team and Da Laojun production team is a bit special.
They are far away from the villages and towns.
Sometimes, when the weather is not kind, or something happens while transporting grain, it is impossible to rush to the grain station within the specified time to deliver the grain.
therefore,
For the Da Laojun and Xiao Laojun production brigades, the grain station will give a more flexible time for delivering public grain.
Luo Xuan replied, "Uncle Bu, you decide. I have nothing to do anyway and can accompany you to the grain station at any time."
Upon hearing this, Bu Yaoming quietly raised his head towards the captain.
That means: Leader, how are you!
Is the person I’m looking for for our production team reliable?
The captain smiled slightly and said, "Since you are willing to help, Luo Xuan, that's even better. Well, hurry up and choose your homestead tomorrow. As for the formalities, don't worry about it. I will do it for you."
You get it done."
Luo Xuan said, "I'm going to build a house here."
The captain looked surprised, "This place has no village in front and no store in back. Why did you choose this place? If we go closer to Du Zhong's house, why don't we have someone to take care of us?"
Luo Xuan chuckled, "Anyway, I like this place and this spring water."
The captain sighed slightly, "In that case, I also respect your personal decision. However, now, in our area, there have been incidents of wild boars coming down the mountain and hurting people.
So, in my opinion, our Xiaolaojun production brigade may have to organize a hunting team."
Bu Yaoming frowned, "Our brigade already has a small manpower. If we allocate young and strong labor force to go hunting in the mountains, we will soon be faced with breaking corn, digging sweet potatoes, sowing beans and planting wheat. What should we do?"
Going hunting in the mountains is a great way to get meat.
For those production teams outside the mountains, this is probably something they can only dream of.
But for production teams like Da Laojun and Xiao Laojun, who are originally located in deep mountains and old forests, it is a hard job.
When they want to eat some meat, it's actually very simple: they carry a firecracker and crawl into the mountains for a day or two.
When did the members go out and get some hares, pheasants, etc. to satisfy their cravings when they came back?
If you hunt a wild boar, you will get a lot of meat, but it is a collective harvest. In fact, there is not much meat in the hands of the members.
therefore,
Members of the Xiaolaojun production team, for example, don't really have much interest in hunting in the mountains.
Seeing that the captain and Bu Yaoming were only focused on organizing the hunting team, Luo Xuan was happy to chat with them about these topics.
Lest they get bored and mention the ridiculous incident of Cao Zigao being injured.
Luo Xuan said, "Actually, I think if our Xiaolaojun production team really can't send out manpower, we can go to the production teams outside the mountain and borrow some manpower."
"Let them organize a hunting party."
Luo Xuan gave the team leader an idea, "Our Xiao Laojun production team can discuss with their leaders about seconding the hunting team over."
The production team outside the mountain is densely populated and has many people.
With less work and more labor, it is very common for people to be overstaffed.
The team leader was told that "our production team" to the left and "our production team of Xiao Laojun" to the right felt comfortable: A member who has a sense of belonging is always more popular with the leaders.
Hearing the words,
The captain smiled and said, "This is a good idea. It's just that the production teams outside don't have many wild animals in their territory. Now let them set up a hunting team. Will the cadres of those brigade agree?"
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "As long as the temptation given to them is big enough and they can share the meat for the collective, there is no reason why they wouldn't want to?"
The captain also laughed, "That's true. Let's go like this. I'll go back and discuss it with the other comrades in the team.
If you go back to your side, go to your original brigade headquarters and find out what they have to say.
We won’t have any problems with this matter. The worst we can do is not say we don’t want prey, but instead subsidize some food for them. Can we still make things happen with this?”
Luo Xuan's current household registration is still in the Zhengxing Brigade. In fact, he has not yet been transferred to Xiao Laojun.
But in the captain's mind, he already regarded Luo Xuan as a member of his production team.
The three of them sat on the rocks chatting while taking shelter from the rain.
While chatting, the captain suddenly remembered something.
Then he opened his mouth and said to Luo Xuan: "Oh, by the way, I heard that the superiors are studying the establishment of a canteen. If you build the house so far away, you will be very uncomfortable when everyone goes to the collective canteen in the future.
It’s so convenient.”
Luo Xuan smiled slightly and thought to himself: For people like Xiao Laojun, in a mountainous area where the members are far apart, it's strange that a collective canteen can last for a long time!
But Luo Xuan said, "It doesn't matter. I basically have room and board at school throughout the year.
Wait until the holiday, it will only be a short period of time, then you can think of ways to overcome it. As long as your mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties!"
Bu Yaoming and the team leader laughed loudly, "This is a good saying! Hahaha, as long as our thinking does not slip, what difficulties can we not overcome? Hahaha..."
Summer rain, like that bad old man's pee, is destined to have insufficient stamina.
After a while, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.
Luo Xuan then walked back together with Bu Yaoming and the captain.
This time I came to the mountains mainly because I wanted to finalize my future homestead and transfer my household registration.
Another thing is that Luo Xuan is going to go into the mountains to get some more angler fish back and keep them in the space for emergencies.
Now the homestead and household registration matters are almost done.
Then go back and pack yourself. You should set off early tomorrow morning and take a trip into the mountains.
