As the sun sets, the tired birds return to their nests.
When Lu Miao and Luo Xuan arrived at the boundary of Xiao Laojun's production team in the evening.
Lu Miao's mood gradually became cheerful...
Just because Xiaolaojun's production team did not suffer huge losses during this severe drought and locust plague.
Along the way there are lush green crops with good growth.
Completely different from what Lu Miao saw on the way from Jiangnei City to Red Star Commune this time, it was a desolate situation.
This time, Lu Miao took a shuttle bus to Rongwei County.
in,
Passing by some places that were particularly severely affected by the disaster, through the car window, Lu Miao could only see the devastation everywhere.
The earth is cracked.
All the crops have turned into clusters of withered grass trembling in the breeze...
All the villages were enveloped in an extremely depressing atmosphere of sadness.
There are no more birds and smoke from cooking stoves, no more playing and playing of naughty children; no more crows of chickens and dogs, and there is no trace of laughter on people’s faces.
There were only commune members who carried buckets under the scorching sun and went to the ditch to scoop out a small half bucket of turbid river water.
There, I tried to use human power to fight in vain against the scorching sun...
The Xiaolaojun production team is different.
The temperature inside the mountain is originally several degrees lower than outside the mountain.
Under this temperature, locusts, which naturally like warm and humid climates, are not so willing to enter the mountains to harm these crops.
In addition, on the boundary of Xiao Laojun's production team, there are densely packed and huge retting piles like honeycombs.
This kind of Bolik retting method presented by Dr. Huang is shaped like a huge termite nest, with a diameter of 1 meter and a height of about 1 meter.
At the top of the compost pile, there is an air outlet, and at the bottom of the mud pile, there is an air inlet.
This is because it is necessary to artificially interfere with the fermentation temperature in the Berlik compost pile.
If the temperature in the compost pile sealed with soil is too high, the high temperature will greatly reduce the organic life in the compost pile.
But if the temperature is too low.
The manure, pond mud, dead branches and leaves and green plants filled in the compost pile cannot be fully fermented.
therefore,
The members are responsible for their respective responsibilities. They need to check the temperature in the compost pile every day.
If it feels a little cold, members need to block the air inlets and ventilation holes.
on the contrary,
If you feel that the temperature is too high, you need to open both openings to cool down the inside of the compost pile.
However, because this is biological fermentation.
Therefore, when the members opened the ventilation holes on the top of the compost pile, a large amount of ammonia gas would float out.
Thousands of compost piles emitted large amounts of ammonia gas at the same time.
This is tantamount to a huge poison gas bomb!
Those locusts hate this poisonous gas extremely.
therefore,
With the natural protection of low temperatures, the thick smoke of diesel and sulfur, and the help of the local garrison guarding the magical water pool.
Coupled with the thousands of compost piles, the fuming ammonia gas is constantly emitted.
Therefore, the entire Xiaolaojun production team was not greatly affected by the locust plague.
Lu Miao, who was sitting on horseback, looked at the vibrant fields and the children playing and playing in the brigade yard.
Look at the smoke of the birds.
From time to time, bursts of joy and laughter can be heard from the homes of the members.
Lu Miao, who was originally extremely depressed, slowly became cheerful at this time.
"Brother Luo Xuan, when I passed by those two houses just now, why did I hear them talking about you behind your back, saying that you are a man of great luck?"
At this time, the crowds were getting denser and denser.
Of course, Luo Xuan and Lu Miao could not ride on the horse together.
In addition, Lu Miao has already traveled such a long distance on horseback, and she is now slowly starting to adapt to the bumps on the horse's back.
After all, she has a background in ballet training, so Lu Miao's leg control skills are naturally not bad.
So at this time, Luo Xuan held the horse's rein with one hand and walked slowly beside the horse's head.
Lu Miao, on the other hand, was sitting leisurely on the horse.
Like a young couple returning home.
Luo Xuan was already tired of hearing what the members had just said when they returned home after a tiring day and sat on the slope of their yard chatting.
They simply say that they are a person blessed with great luck.
Wherever Luo Xuan goes, the life of any production team will obviously be much better than others...
Those who can support this theory are the Zhengxing Brigade outside the mountain and the Xiao Laojun Brigade inside the mountain.
outside the mountains,
The Zhengxing brigade has rich collective assets, not only owning tens of thousands of chickens and ducks; but now, it has also been established as a professional breeding brigade in Rongwei County.
The more pigs you raise, the more fertilizer you will get.
It can be predicted that in the future, the harvest of crops in Zhengxing Brigade’s fields will naturally be higher.
And, it's not just that.
Members of the Zhengxing Brigade occasionally come across some good things like chicken, duck meat, eggs and duck eggs.
(Although these chickens and ducks may have encountered some disease and were culled in advance.
Moreover, the members were given duck eggs and chicken eggs, which were probably the kind that failed to hatch out chicks or ducks.
But it is still meat after all! The nutritional value is much higher than that of ordinary grains, right?)
Not only can the members get a little bit of eggs, chicken, etc.
Moreover, the members of the Zhengxing Brigade usually at least age their grains and still have something to eat.
In other production teams, it is difficult to fully distribute the ration quotas to members.
But the ration quotas for the members of the Zhengxing brigade are not only 2 taels higher than those of the members of the brigade next to them, they are also 2 taels higher every day.
Moreover, the Zhengxing Brigade can ensure that these ration quotas are distributed to the members in full.
This alone is enough to make people drool with envy.
At the beginning, the Zhengxing Brigade boldly took out a loan to purchase large quantities of chickens and ducks to raise.
Slowly, some interested people found out.
That’s right!
Among them, the person who made the greatest contribution was the old branch secretary who hid somewhere to recuperate from illness.
The second-ranked hero is undoubtedly Luo Xuan.
The Zhengxing Brigade benefited from Luo Xuan, and their lives were relatively much better.
And the Xiaolaojun production team,
Not to mention: since the establishment of Luo Xuan, first of all, there will be no need to make things difficult for the annual public food tasks.
also,
Anyway, since Luo Xuan moved his household registration to Xiaolaojun Production Team.
This means that no matter what the team does, it feels relatively smooth.
Even this year's locust plague and drought seem to have to take a detour from Xiao Laojun's brigade...
This is a new society.
However, there is still a little bit of feudal superstition left in the minds of the people and the majority of members.
They spread lies and rumors, and the more they spread, the more mysterious they become.
In the end, the explanation was not clear. I simply attributed it to Luo Xuan being a very lucky person.
The members all said that wherever Luo Xuan went, whichever production team would benefit...
Hearing such nonsense, Luo Xuan could only say hehe.
Hearing Lu Miao ask himself this, Luo Xuan could only chuckle, "95% of the mountain people have never read a book. They love the mountains and fear the mountains.
What mysterious things are in their mouths, Zhang San adds a little oil, Li Si adds a little vinegar.
Things that had no trace in the first place and were false can be said as if they were true."
"Folk rumors can never be true. If you believe it, you will lose."
Luo Xuan raised his head and asked Lu Miao: "We are going to the Xiao Laojun 4 production team soon.
I don’t know if you are planning to stay here tonight, so I can find someone to stay with you for one night?
Or should we go to Xiaolaojun Mountain overnight?"
"Here it is. Find a way to spend the night together!"
Lu Miao smiled slightly: "I like the strong rural flavor here very much. I like this kind of place that is filled with hope and full of laughter and laughter."
"Moreover, I bought so many gifts for Sister Xiaocao."
Lu Miao looked at Luo Xuan with a half-smile.
Youyou said, "Teacher Chen Xiaoduan likes to eat rabbit heads. I brought so many for her this time. I am not allowed to hand these things over to them in person?"
Luo Xuan looked at the unpredictable smile on Lu Miao's face, and couldn't help but secretly thought something was wrong!
This guy!
Her purpose of coming may not be as simple as it seems on the surface...
However, now that they have reached the ground, what will happen next?
Then I can only block it with soldiers, and when the water comes, I can only take one step at a time!
Otherwise, what else could happen?
The school had already ended, and Chen Xiaoduan was cooking dinner in the simple kitchen next to her dormitory.
A thin and frail little girl was lighting the fire, while another graceful figure floated between the eucalyptus board and the stove...
While Xiaocao was lighting the fire, she kept reminding Chen Xiaoduan: "Aunt Xiao, have you put the green onions in the pot?"
Chen Xiaoduan quickly put down the spatula, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead, "Ah, I forgot! I have put down the minced ginger, can I still put in the green onions?"
Xiaocao chuckled and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, when I see my brother cooking, I like to simmer the pot with green onions. It's so fragrant!"
"Theoretically, you can add onions now."
Chen Xiaoduan held up the spatula, with a serious look on his face as he studied knowledge, "Onion is more delicate than ginger. It should be put into the pot later, it should be okay."
"呲嘘..."
When the chopped green onions are put into the pot, the smell of burnt garlic and green onions suddenly fills the small kitchen.
"Gee, it seems that chives can be put into the pot later than ginger..."
Chen Xiaoduan wiped the sweat from his forehead, then poured the torn wild mushrooms into strips into the pot.
“Oops, I forgot to put the chicken pieces!”
Chen Xiaoduan quickly poured all the air-dried chicken in the basin into the pot.
One-sided,
He was still secretly congratulating himself, "Fortunately, I remembered! Otherwise, our family would not have enough grass to eat at night!"
Xiaocao also giggled, "This air-dried chicken is really delicious! It's just that it's very dry. My brother said to add more water and let it stew for a while."
""Stew it for a while longer? Wouldn't that mean adding more water?"
Chen Xiaoduan tilted his head and carefully studied the little water in the pot.
Trying to accurately judge whether the water you added is enough?
"Bah..."
A ladle of water in the pot,
Later, Chen Xiaoduan was heard muttering to himself, "Ah, I feel like there's a little more water here?"
outside the kitchen,
A crisp and heavenly voice sounded: "If there is too much water, add meat."
When Chen Xiaoduan heard this, he instinctively asked, "What if there is too much meat?"
outside the kitchen,
That pleasant voice sounded again at this time, "Then add more water!"
When Chen Xiaoduan in the kitchen heard this, the look of confusion on her face became even stronger...
I saw her stretching out her jade fingers, which were like green onions, and breaking off the little finger.
He murmured in his mouth: "There is too much water, so I have to add chicken."
Then, Chen Xiaoduan broke off his ring finger again and said, "There is too much meat, add water..."
Then he broke off his middle finger and continued to say, "There is too much water, add more meat..."
"Who is this naughty guy giving me bad ideas?"
After Chen Xiaoduan broke off all the fingers in his palm.
Only then did he react!
I saw her angrily saying: "You know clearly that I prepared lessons and graded homework, and I was already dizzy.
Now I have finally learned how to cook some food. You naughty guy, you gave me a bad idea!
Who is it? Come out and see if I don’t hit the palm of your hand!"
Ever since Chen Xiaoduan came to Xiaolaojun Brigade and the village-run school to support teaching, he has done so almost every day after school.
There will always be students' parents or students who will come over to help.
Help Chen Xiaoduan with some miscellaneous things:
Or just help sweep the floor.
Or just help with lighting the fire, washing vegetables, etc.
The villagers are simple and honest.
They couldn't help with other big tasks, so they came to help with some trivial daily tasks.
To express their love and admiration for Chen Xiaoduan...
Lu Miao, who had just asked and answered questions with Chen Xiaoduan.
Her voice sounded very strange to Chen Xiaoduan's ears.
so,
Chen Xiaoduan then mistakenly thought that the person teasing him should be a certain student or the student's parent.
When Lu Miao limped and appeared at the kitchen door carrying large and small packages of gifts.
Chen Xiaoduan held up the spatula, his cherry mouth wide open in surprise, and was stunned on the spot.
And the grass,
Then there is a "click" sound!
Suddenly he dropped the fire tongs in his hand, and like a baby swallow, he suddenly jumped into Lu Miao's arms!
"Sister Miao Miao! Why are you here?"
Xiaocao made herself shiny and had her hair neatly combed on her little head.
He kept rubbing his arms around Lu Miao, "Sister Miao Miao, I miss you so much! I also miss your chocolate cake, it's so sweet..."
Call me ‘Sister Miaomiao’?
And the teacher Chen in front of me is called ‘Aunt Xiao’?
Lu Miao tilted her head proudly and glanced at Chen Xiaoduan.
Then he leaned down and kissed Xiaocao with a 'pop' sound.
He opened his mouth to praise and said, "Sister Xiaocao, you are really sensible! That's called chocolate, not chocolate cake."
Luo Xuan, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, saw this.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It's over!
Just after we met, Lu Miao took out a 38-meter-long machete!
Just an ignorant Xiaocao, she just handed Lu Miao a knife inadvertently.
Looking at Chen Xiaoduan standing there blankly, holding a spatula in his hand.
I saw her looking at Lu Miao and the grass.
Then Chen Xiaoduan stared at himself meaningfully, half-smiling but not smiling...
There seemed to be electricity in her eyes.
Luo Xuan only felt that his scalp was numb in waves!
Looking at this, the struggle situation in the future may be very serious...
