How the mute got the starch, Luo Xuan couldn't figure it out for a while.
Then we can only put this matter aside for now.
Luo Xuan made up his mind to pay more attention to the mute's every move in the future so that he could slowly figure out his path.
Starch is also food!
Luo Xuan is now trying his best to save more food to prepare for the upcoming difficult period.
By the time we finally saw off the production team leader Peng Zhikun, Uncle Zhang, and Aunt Zhang who were helping, it was already dark.
Unknowingly.
The moon has already hung on the treetops on the opposite side of the mountain, like a white flour pancake, which makes people greedy just looking at it.
Luo Xuan's new home is bathed in the bright moonlight, and it looks a bit warm and charming.
But the new home, which should have been immersed in the sounds of crickets and frogs, was now bustling with excitement and noise.
The front foot had just seen off a group of people, and then Luo Xuan welcomed more guests.
The seven aunts and eight aunts in the production team, the old and young men, the young and middle-aged children, and their families all came to the small courtyard of Luo Xuan to enjoy the cool air.
They are there.
Luo Xuan wanted to be quiet, but it became a luxury.
The sounds of children playing and men discussing the development of the situation in the village made people dizzy.
The women, on the other hand, were whispering to each other, saying all kinds of dirty words and private things that were not suitable for children...
How can it be possible to be quiet in such an environment?
Summer nights are hot.
The members of these production teams used to gather together every night, waving cattail fans and chatting about daily life.
Members enjoy the cool air at night and like to join in the fun. Luo Xuan's new home was completed today, and many people were out of curiosity. In addition, it was a bit stuffy at night, so they couldn't sleep.
So everyone ran to the small courtyard in Luoxuan to watch and talk nonsense.
If others are willing to come to his home, Luo Xuan can't drive them away, right?
There were so many people here tonight that Luo Xuan emptied the remaining half of the box of "Hongmei" cigarettes in his pocket.
I had to lick my smiling face and chat with them for a while, so I couldn't spare the time to catch eels.
Waited for a while.
Luo Xuan saw that everyone was having fun and there was no sign of it ending early, so Luo Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to everyone: "I'm really sorry for all the elders and neighbors.
I, Luo Xuan, am truly grateful that you can come to my humble shack and visit this incompetent junior."
"Stop it, stop it! Luo Xuan, don't talk about these civilized words. What do you mean by noble neighbor? We are all illiterate rough people, how can we afford a noble word?"
among the crowd.
Uncle Ding put the cigarette that Luo Xuan had handed him before, put it under his nose and smelled it carefully, but he still couldn't bear to smoke it.
At this time, I could only hear him yelling in a rough voice, "Luo Xuan, just say whatever you want. Why are goosebumps sprouting on my spine just listening to this?"
"Well..."
Luo Xuan smiled awkwardly, "Look, uncle, you all came to my place to warm my room, but I don't even have a pot of tea. Hehe, let alone tea, I don't even have a sip of boiling water here to quench the thirst of the elders... .”
"I smoked a fortune cigarette of yours today, and it's already terrible. Why should I drink tea?"
Uncle Ding waved his hand grandly, "We are not brigade cadres with enamel jars. Luo Xuan, you are welcome, just grab a few bowls of cold water."
When Luo Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: I'm not polite to you!
Listen to the gong, listen to the voice, listen to the voice, Uncle Ding, why do you really not regard yourself as an outsider?
When I said these words just now, I was actually implicitly driving people away.
Luo Xuan can't afford to sit around.
Seize the time and go out to catch more eels and sell them for more money, that's the serious thing.
But the men, women, and children in these production teams have been working hard for several hours, and there is no hope of letting them stop.
Hey~
Since no one wanted to leave, Luo Xuan had no choice but to turn around and go into the kitchen to scoop out water.
In this new home, there really are no buckets or kettles.
When Luo Xuan usually drinks water, he sneaks into the space and drinks the spring water there to quench his thirst. Why is there any need to boil water?
After entering the kitchen, picking up a few large porcelain bowls, Luo Xuan stepped into the space.
Filling the space with spring water, Luo Xuan delivered it to everyone in the yard.
"Huh?"
A woman took a sip of water and suddenly exclaimed, "Luo Xuan, why does your water taste so good? Where did you pick it up? Why did you drink it in your mouth? It feels a little sweet.
?”
"Yes, this water is delicious!"
Uncle Ding also raised the bowl and nodded in agreement, "This water makes your mouth feel comfortable when you drink it!"
When Luo Xuan heard this, he was shocked!
I was careless!
He drank the spring water in the space every day. Over time, Luo Xuan no longer felt that there was anything special about the spring water.
But when the members drank this spring water for the first time, they could clearly feel the difference between it and the well water they usually drink!
"Cough, cough, cough, it's nothing. This is the water that seeped out from the cracks in the rocks behind the house in the taro forest."
Luo Xuan quickly explained: "Maybe Uncle Ding, you happen to be thirsty, so it tastes good to you?"
"Well, what Luo Xuan said makes sense."
The woman who was the first to shout that the water tastes good nodded and analyzed, "This is just like how people panic when they are hungry, just a roasted sweet potato. Luo Xuan, give your family two more
Mom, bring me a bowl of water, I want to drink some water."
"Gone."
Luo Xuan spread his hands and said apologetically: "I don't have a bucket or a water tank at home. I have to fetch the water back with a casserole."
"Out of water?"
The woman couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, "It is said that people are poor without enough water. Luo Xuan, your family is so pitiful that they don't even have an extra sip of water. Oh, what a sin!"
Seeing that this matter was finally over, Luo Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Luo Xuan secretly warned himself: It seems that he has to be more careful in the future!
Be careful, no matter how careful you are, no matter how careful you are in your words and deeds, you can never be too cautious.
This era is not a time to dare to act wildly. If you are not careful, you will fall into an abyss of danger that will never be recovered.
It’s really too careless!
Luo Xuan was reflecting on himself, when Uncle Ding spoke again: "Hey, Luo Xuan, why don't you get a water tank?"
Hearing Uncle Ding mention the water vat, the woman gave Luo Xuan some advice, "Luo Xuan, go to the street. There is a large pottery vat for sale in the daily miscellaneous store of the supply and marketing cooperative. You can buy one some other time."
Come back and use it as a water tank."
Luo Xuan shook his head, "Let's talk about this later. Now I don't have much money on hand, so I have to save some money."
"I do have a stone water tank there."
Uncle Ding smiled and said, "If you don't mind that it's small and old, you can use it and I'll give it to you as a warm house gift."
Zhengxing Brigade is rich in large bluestones.
Most of the water tanks in the homes of commune members are stone water tanks carved out of a single piece of stone with hammers and chisels.
This kind of stone water tank comes in large and small sizes.
Uncle Ding's family has a large population and consumes a lot of water. Later, his home was replaced with a large water tank.
The original small water tank in his home, which had been used for countless generations, was abandoned by Uncle Ding behind the house.
In Luo Xuan's house, there is actually no need for a water tank.
But after hearing what Uncle Ding said, Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel something in his heart: The broken clay pot used to hold the catch in the space could no longer hold more and more eels and loaches.
Go get that water jar yourself. Wouldn't it come in handy?
