Chapter 4 Organize Space
Li Wen secretly vowed to make his family's life better and better, and to free his parents from the tragedy of dying from overwork at a young age.
"Have you all finished eating? Why are you dawdling? Hurry up and send food to your father and the others!" Mother Wang Chunmei had already finished eating and was preparing to go to work with some food. She urged the boys who were watching the dilly-dallying.
"And Awen, after dinner, don't go to the fields today for rest. It will be bad if you get heat stroke again." After telling the little guys, mother Wang Chunmei didn't forget to tell Li Wen, and then hurried away.
.
The second aunt Cui Yanzi, the second sister Li Xia, and the third sister Li Ping are still working in the field. They just ate a little thin food in the morning. The summer harvest is a heavy workload, and now they must be so hungry that their chests are touching their backs. Mother Wang Chunmei has to rush to deliver food.
In the past, people were so busy with summer harvest work that they were afraid of rain. They really had to steal food from God and couldn’t delay for a moment!
"Come on, bring the food to your father and the others. Xiaomin, you come and pick up the food. Yongzi, Ah Tao, you two carry this can of noodle soup. Xiaojuan, you go and get the bowl!"
Grandma Guo Xiuyun put the noodle basins and noodle soup pots into small backpacks for several people.
Several little ones had already finished eating and were playing around. When they heard grandma's instructions, they were afraid of being picked up, so they quickly picked up their small backpacks and walked out the door!
"You are not allowed to eat meat secretly. If anyone eats it, I will not deal with it when I get home." Your father and your brother have not eaten meat for several months. They have to make up for it because they have to do heavy work. Do you hear me?
The guy stole something while he was on the way, grandma Guo Xiuyun warned!
Oh! I know, mother-in-law, I will supervise them. Li Min, the oldest, turned around and said with a smile!
"Po, I feel better now. Everyone has been very busy with the summer harvest these days. I am the only one taking a rest or going to the fields. Li Wen seems to be the only one idle. He said embarrassedly."
"Don't dare. Where is Guawa? What should I do if there is another motor (problem) when you go out?" Grandma Guo Xiuyun quickly advised Li Wen.
"You have a good rest. Your third master just showed you today and said that he needs to rest for two days. Although the labor force is tight these days, there is no shortage of half of you. You spent one yuan and thirty cents on medical treatment today.
Our family is not rich either, so listen to my mother-in-law and have a good rest.
When Li Wen heard this, he was immediately stuck. He said yes and slowly walked into the house!
In fact, Li Wen was just saying what he said. This body had bled a lot in the morning and suffered from heat stroke. Although he had the bonus of time travel recovery, his body was still relatively weak, so he needed to pay more attention.
Also, grandma just said that it cost more than one yuan to see a doctor at noon, which is a lot of money!
In recent years, natural disasters have caused bad harvests. Each of them has five laborers, and the work points they earn throughout the year only amount to more than fifty yuan at the end of the year.
More than one yuan is not a small amount. A pound of high-quality Fuqiang flour only costs 22 cents. A pound of cornmeal only costs 9 cents. An egg only costs 5 cents. One dollar and 30 cents can be exchanged for almost six pounds of flour, which is more than fourteen pounds.
Cornmeal, twenty-six eggs.
Nowadays, marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law in the village only costs five yuan as a bride price. The ordinary one or two yuan is not needed. Some even use a few steamed buns to exchange for a wife.
When Li Wen returned to the room, he had to lie down because his back was stabbed, otherwise the hot weather would easily lead to infection.
This body is already fourteen years old, and its height is actually less than 1.4 meters. This will be considered useless in later generations. However, in this era, people's physical development is naturally slow due to poor food, so children of this age are basically like this
height.
"It seems that we should eat more nutritious food. With this skinny figure and half-wasted height, if we don't take good care of Li Wen, he probably won't be able to survive until next year," Li Wen murmured.
Because he had read some online records, the harvest in the first half of 1961 was even worse, and the second half of 1961 was the most difficult. Many families were without food before November. Coupled with the severe cold in winter, people fell into the cold in June.
One winter.
At this time, the old lady's voice came from the yard, "Wen Wazi, you have a good rest at home alone, I will go out to find some wild vegetables!"
"Well, mother-in-law, you put on your straw hat. It's too hot. Don't worry. Pay attention to preventing heatstroke!" Li Wen raised his head and shouted through the window.
"knew!"
The old man passed away before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The old lady is almost 70 years old this year, which is considered a long life in rural areas. Even in her old age, she is not idle and helps her two sons with housework all day long.
The old lady also helps to raise the two pigs at home, and the old lady helps to take care of all the children at home. She is a very diligent old lady in the entire production team.
Li Wen was lying in front of the window, watching the old lady carrying a basket and going out in a hurry. He was filled with emotion. At this time, people were really working hard for life, and they were all working hard to live!
"I don't think anyone will go to the warehouse to take a look!"
Turning around, the person had arrived in the courtyard of the warehouse.
It's so cool in this warehouse! I don't know why, but after walking through the warehouse, the time and temperature have become constant, and the temperature has been controlled at around 25 degrees.
He looked back at the garden in the yard. Because this warehouse was newly built when he rented it, there were no flowers in the garden. He was not in the mood to manage it after renting it. There were only some weeds scattered in the nearly twenty square meters garden.
inside.
Now it seems that there is no need to throw it away. What should I plant? Looking at the garden, Li Wen thought about what to plant in such a large place. He had no idea for a while.
Forget it! I don’t want to think about it anymore. Let’s weed first and then see what’s in the warehouse to plant.
In the utility room of the warehouse, there were many farm tools left behind by the landlord when he built the house. Li Wen took out a hoe and started weeding. He has been a rural boy for two generations, and weeding is a piece of cake for him. He only takes half an hour to weed.
Three centimeters of land was leveled, and Li Wen was very happy to see the success of his work.
"I'm a little tired. My body is too exhausted. Let's take a break and look for something to grow," Li Wen straightened his back and muttered to himself.
I walked into the kitchen and opened the locker. Well, there was half a bag of mung beans, as well as peanuts, soybeans, sesame seeds, and dried chili peppers. Basically, these cannot be grown. Many of them have been processed.
"Hey! I remembered it." Li Wen quickly pulled out the small box next to the refrigerator. There were vegetable seeds that Li Wen bought in his previous life. Because of the epidemic quarantine, the price of vegetables was extremely expensive, so he bought some seeds to grow some vegetables by himself.
, I was so busy that I forgot.
"Not bad, cucumber, water spinach, Chinese cabbage, spinach, coriander, scallions, naise! It's very good," Li Wenmei smiled happily.
There is also a pumpkin and several large potatoes in the kitchen. The pumpkin weighs more than 20 kilograms. It is an old pumpkin he brought home. The old pumpkin is noodles and sweet. It is very delicious to make pumpkin quilts.
Pumpkins have a large yield. Each vine bears at least a dozen large pumpkins. One or two are planted in May every year. In autumn, several sacks of pumpkins are harvested and eaten until spring. There are too many to finish.
Potatoes cannot be grown. They are cultivated by seed companies and degraded greatly if you grow them yourself.
Well, I'll plant a few more pumpkins. It's a good thing. It can be used in large quantities. When the time comes, I can take out a few to provide enough food for several days.
Gather the grass in the garden into a piece and prepare to feed it to the pigs later. The grass grows very well and the pigs will definitely like to eat it. Now there is a famine, and the grass in the village has been dug up before it can grow much. The quality of the pig grass we usually get is
Not great either.
I planted pumpkins in a circle along the edge of the garden so that the vines can grow into the yard. I also planted some cucumbers, spinach, green onions, coriander and pepper seeds dug out from peppers. The ground was full of them.
.
I took the hose connected to the faucet and prepared to sprinkle some water on the ground. When I twisted it, water actually came out. This solved a big problem.
When I went to the kitchen, I saw that the refrigerator actually had electricity. I didn't notice it in the kitchen just now. Now it was better. I quickly ran to the room, took out the mobile phone on the table, opened a certain email and tried to send a message, but this time it couldn't be sent. I opened it.
The computer network cannot be connected either.
He sat on the ground for a while, alas! A long sigh sounded in the room, "That's it, I'm lucky to have electricity and water, so I can't ask for too much," Li Wen comforted himself in a low voice.
After resting for a while, Li Wen prepared to completely organize the warehouse so that it could be used at any time later.
In one afternoon, the goods in the warehouse had been rearranged and arranged. Li Wen also became thoroughly familiar with the entire warehouse. In the past, he only rented the first floor, not the front door room or the second floor room. There were some items from the landlord's previous home in it.
Old clothes and furniture, tools such as electric saws and electric drills purchased by the landlord when building the house, and farm tools left over from the previous dismantling of his home.
There are a lot of bits and pieces in a home, Li Wen has recorded them all on his mobile phone, and he can check them at any time if needed later.ωωw..net
After checking his phone, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, and it would be dark in more than an hour. Li Wen took out a few bags of candies and glutinous rice sticks from the warehouse, opened them and poured them into a box, because there were signs on the bags.
The production date cannot be shown directly.
In one afternoon, Li Wen also learned a lot about the functions of the warehouse. In addition to having water and electricity, the warehouse also has a goods storage area that is in a state of stasis in time and space.
A cup of boiling water is placed in the goods area. It is still a cup of boiling water an hour later. There is almost no change. Only the space-time flow rate outside the lounge and yard is normal!
Moreover, after he left the warehouse, he could only clearly sense and control the lounge and yard in his mind. The goods area of the warehouse could not be sensed or controlled, so if he wanted to take out things, he could only sense and control them in the lounge and yard.
In the yard.
He carried the candies and glutinous rice sticks into the house so that they could be taken at any time later. After handling everything, the workload of the afternoon was not small. Li Wen was already relatively weak. After leaving the warehouse, he lay down in his grandma's room tiredly.
fell asleep inside.
The sky was getting dark, and the members of the commune who had worked hard all day began to rush home one after another after putting away the wheat in the wheat field, as if only home could wash away the fatigue of the day.
