The old days(74)

The weather is so bad this year. When it’s dry, we’ll die from drought, and when it’s flooded, we’ll die from waterlogging.

When spring came, I kept fighting the drought to protect the seedlings. I wished I could carry a portable irrigation machine on my shoulder. I finally managed to save the seedlings, just like the continuous rain in summer.

First came the summer harvest, and the wheat was almost ripe. As a result, the ground was filled with water up to an adult's knees, almost soaking the wheat in the water. I couldn't even pump it, and it kept raining. What should I do?

Just collect it like this, even if it is dried, it will be a ration after all.

Duanyang was stationed in the village. How could he run away while working in the fields?

Regardless of him, Danyang and the experimental station must also be taken care of.

Chaoyang refused to let Danyang go, "You ask for leave, and I will go to work for you."

How can it be done?

But when Danyang arrived at the place, he realized that his previous worries were unnecessary. Except for the gatehouse at the experimental station, all other crops, no matter what they were, were soaking in the water. It felt like they could hold up a boat.

This place used to be a saline-alkali land, and the terrain was relatively low. Now after several days of heavy rain, water has poured into this area. After leaving the village, we can't go very far, and we can't walk. The water is too deep, so we can't go far.

From a distance, you can see the solitary concierge standing in the middle of the watery area. Not to mention the land of the experimental station, even the land of the surrounding educated youths, is completely submerged in water.

At this time, these young girls and boys from the city are anxious. This is half a year's rations. There is no harvest. What will they eat in the future?

So, one pulled the other forward to see if they could be rescued.

People like Lin Chaoying and Lin Xinxiu went to help the educated youth. Chaoyang pulled Danyang and the two of them retreated.

As I was passing by, I saw people harvesting crops all around. The wheat was cut from the water, and then all of it was floating on the water. Someone had to pick up the floating wheat and carry it to a high place where it could be ventilated.

But it's not good to cover the wet wheat like this. If the sun doesn't show, it won't dry. What should I do? Find a way to dry it. But drying it is not easy, because there is no dry firewood to use.

Seeing the food in this state, many people cursed God and cried.

During the Duanyang Festival, I was busy in the fields for a long time and had to run to the commune for a long time. For what? For disaster relief food.

There were endless disputes in the commune during this period. A group of people firmly believed that we should seek truth from facts and that we should contact the relevant departments to respond to this problem in a real way. If you are affected by a disaster, you are affected by the disaster. You need the country's relief, you need the country's relief. You can't.

Isn’t the lesson learned in the past enough to pretend to be fat? But another group of people think that this is not necessary at all! In their words, the people armed with M-ideology should be invincible.

of.

The two sides continued to argue, and there was no conclusion yet.

But everyone's life is really unbearable. Ever since spring, every family has just been grinding forward. Get some wild vegetables and summer vegetables, just throw in a handful of grain, and it will be a meal. One meal after another

We kept grinding forward, and finally it was time for the summer harvest, and we had new wheat to eat, but now... we definitely can’t afford to pay for the public grain. Regardless of whether we can’t pay for the public grain, even the current rations are not available to every household!

How to do it?

Duanyang and the people in the village worked together to let everyone make trouble. If the zaofanpai can rebel, we can also rebel against the zaofanpai. Who is the zaofanpai and who is in power? This kind of identity can change in a blink of an eye.

Anyway, the commotion was so loud that people from ten miles and eight surrounding villages followed suit, forcing the commune g committee to respond and ask for food relief.

It’s hard to offend when people are angry!

By the time the grain is about to arrive, it's already August. There isn't much of it yet, so it's time to get ready for autumn again.

But it seems that God is really trying to make things difficult for us. It rains continuously in autumn and we don't get to see a few days of sunshine.

Lin Yutong was ironing clothes and bedding at home when Fourth Master came back in a hurry: "Quick! Come with me! Sister-in-law called, brother is injured..."

It means Xintian called and Ohara was injured.

This startled Lin Yutong. He dropped what he was doing and arranged for a few others: "Go to your eldest brother's place for dinner..."

If people are in a hurry to leave, how can they go? Trains are for transporting goods, and there may be various dangers along the route. Don't even think about taking a car. The road is soaked in water, and you still want to take a car.

At this time, the most reliable means of transportation is two legs.

Wearing rain boots and raincoats, the two set off, one foot deep and one foot shallow, toward the city.

I am still in the original division hospital. There are people I know well here, and I feel most at ease here.

Xin Tian was not frightened at all: "Your brother hasn't woken up yet. He was in shock and was hit on the head with the butt of a gun."

Director of the police station, what did you say?

Yuan Chao said on the side: "They attacked the public security organs, wanted to seize power, and there were conflicts... and three people died..."

Therefore, surviving is considered a fluke.

Xin Tian was still frightened and discussed with Lin Yutong and Fourth Master: "Your eldest brother is in such a bad situation that it is not good to stay in the city."

If it's not good to stay in the city, then go back to your hometown.

Even if he is an ordinary policeman, he is still a director, and he is the so-called authority figure.

It's hard to say whether this is right or wrong. Let's call it an old revolution. But if the old revolution doesn't change its stance, it will be no different from the current revolution.

What to do in the end?

After sending Ohara to the farm, he separated out the original livestock shed and tidied it up again. He built two small rooms and one large room. There were fire pits and fireplaces inside, and they were all built with blue bricks. Ohara felt that

Good.

Inside, Su Jin is in charge of logistics and can take care of all aspects.

And Xintian also works as a health worker on the farm. Normally, Dayuan does not leave the labor camp. At least, there is an explanation to the outside world. Even if she insists on holding on, it can be said to have something to say. In fact, these days

, only those who are constantly working and learning inside are considered safe. I am afraid that this kind of clinging, non-stop civil and military struggle, sometimes is not only physical torture, but also mental torture.

I can't stand it!

Oyuan was a little depressed and confused, but still told Lin Yutong: "Don't tell Naihe Niang about this."

Know it! Everyone knows it!

Ohara sighed: "I don't know how your second brother is doing?"

The second brother is smarter than you. Is he willing to suffer losses?

Lin Yutong has never worried about Dayao. In fact, it is Dayao who is so stubborn that he is most likely to suffer. When they attack the public security organs, they have a purpose and a plan. After that, you still insist that you have to resist. If you resist, resist, there is no need.

An extremely violent weapon, this is not... If you show mercy, others will not.

It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. The people here were all locked up before and couldn't figure it out. If they don't figure it out, they'll figure it out.

Everyone works together and eats and drinks together. In other places, crops have been flooded by water, but not on the farm. The water conservancy project in this place was good on the one hand, but the key is that there are no experts living here!

There is no harm in being with such people.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master can look at all this calmly, but the children cannot be calm.

Whether it is Duanyang or Chaoyang, everyone feels helpless from inside.

After being helpless and wandering for a while, the two brothers seemed to have figured out that no matter what the world is like, the first thing is to live their own lives well.

How do you live a good life? You have to support your family, you have to let your family follow the popular food and drink spicy food, and not worry about livelihood.

So the two brothers, together with Xu Qiang and Tiedan, tried to find ways to get money.

How to touch it?

In the past, the agricultural machinery factory of Zhongyuan Heavy Industry actually produced agricultural tools, such as shovels and hoes, but they were only produced for a short period of time and were canceled by the higher authorities.

It’s not because the farm tools produced here are not good, on the contrary, they are so good that no one wants to buy the things produced by the original farm tool factory. For the sake of balance, let’s just stop producing the good ones here.

There are no good ones on the market, so the bad ones will naturally make do with it.

Duanyang and others are targeting this market. We can process your farm tools for you. This is actually an additional quenching process. Anyone who uses snacks can learn this procedure from the old masters.

Help with farm tools, but they don't want money, just take the things.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s grains, sesame seeds, peanuts, or coarse cloth and linen, anything is fine, as long as it’s free of charge. And what’s known to the outside world is the Youth Student Agricultural Team. They help the production team repair farm tools for free. As for people insisting on giving something, that’s

The exchange of favors is not in the nature of a sale. Who can say anything?

Of course, if you encounter a situation where the conditions are very difficult and you really can't get anything out of it, it doesn't matter. We don't have to ask for it now. We can wait until after the autumn harvest to give it to us. If you really can't give it to us, don't insist on it. It can be used.

If they find something that has been processed by others and it is useful, Qiuli will definitely give it to them. Otherwise, it will just be a one-time deal, and there will be no second time.

They all work from one production team to another. Almost every time they come back, they have big and small bags, miscellaneous, and everything. When a few people share it, Chaoyang is more considerate. When others share more food, he

As for the Dragon Boat Festival, I need some rare fruits, home-grown apples, pears, dates, walnuts, and home-made preserved apricots. "My sister-in-law is going to give birth to a nephew for me, so I will take these back to my sister-in-law to eat."

Tiedan was so moved that he told his family when he got back: "Aunt Jin Shulin's family has nothing to say about how wonderful Duanyang is." He said that Chaoyang was searching for food for his sister-in-law.

Sister Miao was so angry: "You still know what it means to be thoughtful! You don't think about your son or your wife." This silly boy said and took a photo.

Licorice quickly blocked it: "Mom, look at you! Why are you beating him! No one in our family has the same conditions, so it's good to be down-to-earth. I'm not greedy, and my children are not used to greedy things. What kind of people are we?

How do you live your life?"

They were kind words, but Mrs. Miao still wasn't happy to hear them: "My grandson is also a noble man of gold."

Therefore, the less hungry things are, the more popular they become.

Song Lu said to Chaoyang: "I'm not a bad taster, I'll eat anything. Don't do it for the sake of it, you just go along with it."

Chaoyang is no longer busy, but Danyang is.

After harvesting the autumn crops, Danyang gave a report to the school, talking about his experience as a farmer and expressing his willingness to practice it. He also boldly proposed that he would try to grow vegetables and fruit trees in greenhouses.
