Pan Xiaoling quietly pulled Wu Wanyi aside: "Wanyi, I went up to take a look just now. I originally wanted to take a look at Comrade Chang Xing's field and pick two cucumbers by the way, but unexpectedly, that place disappeared."
Wu Wanyi said quickly: "Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to mention the matter of going to the mountain last time when you come back, let alone go to the mountain privately without Comrade Chang Xing's permission? You promised well, why did you change your mind again?"
Pan Xiaoling was a little embarrassed: "I'm so greedy that I want to eat some fresh fruits. That's not the point. How could that place disappear for no reason? Isn't that Chang Xing a ghost?"
"How is this possible? Where in the world does this ghost come from?" Wu Wanyi said angrily.
"No wonder, how could that piece of land suddenly disappear?" Pan Xiaoling asked.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, keep your mouth open for me. If it gets out, see how I deal with you." Wu Wanyi warned. Now Wu Wanyi regretted taking Pan Xiaoling up the mountain. If Pan Xiaoling said this
If you go out, it might bring trouble to Chang Xing.
"I know the severity. Don't worry." Pan Xiaoling glanced at the mountain with some fear and hurriedly ran down the mountain.
Chang Xing dared to let Wu Wanyi and Pan Xiaoling go up the mountain, so he was not afraid that they would tell them. Without Chang Xing to lead the way, no one could find the Patriarch's Temple. He was also able to understand a person clearly.
Zhou Maolin saw on the mountain last year that the rice in Changxing was stronger and the ears of rice were bigger than those in Xianjiqiao. He counted the number of grains on the ears and found that there were forty or fifty more grains than those in Xianjiqiao.
The grain seeds in the Xianjiqiao brigade only had 140 or 50 grains in the ears, while those in the rice fields in Changxing generally had more than 200 grains. The grains were even heavier. So at that time, Zhou Maolin and Changxing
I said that I want to go to Changxing to exchange some grain seeds for planting. Two pounds of rice can be exchanged for one pound of grain seeds.
The production team now grows rice and pays attention to dense planting, so that the number of seedlings is as large as possible. If the rice ears are the same, the yield will naturally be higher. Moreover, after dense planting, competition among rice plants will cause the plants to grow taller, and the final photosynthetic area will also be smaller.
It needs to be larger. Therefore, each acre of rice field requires a lot of seeds. Considering the germination rate, one acre of rice field requires several kilograms of seeds.
The Xianjiqiao brigade has a total of several hundred acres of land, which requires thousands of kilograms of seeds. Chang Xing expanded a rice field last year. The total harvest of rice is only more than a thousand kilograms. Including Chang Xing himself, there are a total of four mouths to eat, every day
The consumption is not small, so it cannot be given to Xianji Bridge in vain.
Since Zhou Maolin wanted to change, Chang Xing asked Zhou Maolin to exchange one pound for one pound, leaving enough seeds for himself. The rest was all left to Zhou Maolin to exchange.
"Chang Xing, this time our Xianji Bridge took advantage of you again. You can't exchange a pound for a pound of other people's rice seeds. Don't worry, I picked the best rice from our Xianji Bridge. This
It was sunny a few days, so I let them dry it again. It made a crunching sound when bitten," said Zhou Maolin.
"Uncle Maolin, what are you talking about? What's wrong with it? I use it for eating anyway. Which kind of rice is different?" Chang Xing said.
"You are a child of benevolence and righteousness," Zhou Maolin said.
As he talked, Zhou Maolin talked about Wu Wanyi's trip to the mountain: "Comrade Wu came to my house that day to ask about basal fertilizer. They young intellectuals were afraid of getting dirty and did not dare to go to the town to dig out manure. In fact, even if they dared to dig out, it would not be their turn.
.I have known for a long time that the public toilets in the town are reserved for production teams. I just deliberately teased them. Later, when Comrade Wu came to my house, I thought about asking him to come to your place to have a look. Don't you think it's strange?"
"No, just come. I asked them to dig out the mud in the ravine." Chang Xing said.
"This is a good idea. In fact, our Xianjiqiao brigade does not have enough base fertilizer. It seems that we can let everyone dig mud in the ditch these days." Zhou Maolin said.
In order to accumulate fertilizer, various brigades went to great lengths. The whole village of Xianjiqiao, old and young, often carried a dustpan on their backs to look for cow dung. Picking up a dustpan of cow dung can earn you points in exchange for work in the production team.
In addition to human and animal excrement, we also go to the mountains to cut grass and accumulate green manure. The silt in rivers and ditches needs to be cleaned up every year. Pond mud is also a very good source of basic fertilizer. However, the silt in mountains and ditches is ignored.
"Although the black bears in the mountains have subsided now, other wild animals are still quite noisy. If you go digging out the mud, be careful," Chang Xing reminded.
"We will pay attention to this and let the militia company be responsible for the security work when the time comes." Zhou Maolin said.
With more than a thousand kilograms of grain seeds, Zhou Maolin and a dozen people each carried less than a hundred kilograms each, and easily carried them back to Xianji Bridge. Then they sent more than a dozen loads of rice up the mountain to load the barn in Changxing.
Full.
The educated youth used rice seeds much more extravagantly than the Xianjiqiao brigade. Several dozen acres of rice fields required hundreds of kilograms of rice seeds, all of which were purchased at the seed station. When the people in Xianjiqiao found out, they all called out prodigal son.
. You must know that these rice seeds can be saved. Xianjiqiao selects the rice with the best quality from the harvested rice every year to save the seeds. This saves the cost of buying rice seeds. The rice seeds may be slightly worse than those at the seed station.
A little. But it doesn’t cost extra and there won’t be much difference in output.
Youth Farm pays more attention to it, so they are more convenient than Xianjiqiao Brigade in many aspects. For example, their seeds and fertilizers can get quotas, and Xianjiqiao is also required to provide cattle for Youth Farm.
This point caused great dissatisfaction among the people of Xianji Bridge, but Xianji Bridge had to implement it.
Fortunately, the relationship between Xianjiqiao and educated youth has improved, and the opposition from the people of Xianjiqiao is not very fierce.
He couldn't finish the fruits and vegetables in Changxing's field, so he would often send the uneaten fruits down the mountain. Xiao Dajiang was Changxing's master, and every time he sent something down, it was always to Xiao Dajiang's family.
When Chang Xing came to Xiao Dajiang's house with a bamboo basket, Xiao Hongxia was humming and jumping around in the yard.
"Hongxia, what are you doing?" Chang Xing asked.
"Our school organizes artistic performances, and I am practicing the show." Xiao Hongxia said happily.
"Where are you going to perform?" Chang Xing asked.
"I'll go to the county first. If I'm selected, I might have to go to the region. Then I can go to Qingshui to have a look." Xiao Hongxia said.
"Is this awesome?" Chang Xing smiled.
"Of course. Our dance teacher is an actress from the art troupe. She is amazing." Xiao Hongxia said.
"Then you practice hard." Chang Xing put the bamboo basket in Xiao Dajiang's kitchen and prepared to leave.
Xiao Hongxia quickly caught up and said, "Brother Chang Xing, it would be great if you were still studying in school. Then this time we can participate in the performance together."
"I don't know how to do this. You don't study well in school, so why do you do this all day long?" Chang Xing shook his head quickly.
"Brother Chang Xing, please don't talk nonsense. We are actively participating in revolutionary cultural activities." Xiao Hongxia was a little unhappy.
"Okay, keep practicing, I'll go back first. Tell Master and Sister-in-law that I still have a lot of vegetables in my field and I can't finish them. If you run out of vegetables, go to the mountains to find me." Chang Xing said.
"Brother Chang Xing, why do you always talk about trivial matters like food, rice, oil and salt every time you talk to me now?" Xiao Hongxia said.
"But I don't understand anything you said." Chang Xing said helplessly. Since Xiao Hongxia entered high school, some changes have slowly occurred. Maybe she has grown up and many of her ideas are different from before.
.
But Chang Xing didn't care and still treated Xiao Hongxia as usual.
Xiao Hongxia was a little dissatisfied with Chang Xing's unmotivated performance, and slowly discovered that Chang Xing was different from the male classmates in school. However, Chang Xing still occupied a very important position in her heart, so she wanted to change Chang Xing.
"Hey, don't leave in a hurry. I still have a lot to say to you." Seeing Chang Xing was about to leave, Xiao Hongxia quickly grabbed Chang Xing.
"Is there anything else?" Chang Xing asked.
"Brother Chang Xing, if nothing happens, why can't I talk to you?" Xiao Hongxia said dissatisfied.
"Of course." Chang Xing smiled.
"Isn't that right? Didn't you tell me that you showed me my horoscopes and said that I would definitely be able to go to university in the city? But now the university still doesn't admit students. After I graduate from high school, I have no choice but to go back to Xianjiqiao to participate in the labor force."
Xiao Hongxia said.
"It's honorable to participate in labor. Come back when you come back." Chang Xing said.
"Did you lie to me? You made everything up about showing me my horoscopes, right?" Xiao Hongxia asked.
"Of course not. But there is a saying that goes well, wealth lies in heaven, and success lies in people. Although there is no problem with your horoscope, sometimes you will be influenced by others." Chang Xing said.
"Then show me now, have my horoscopes changed?" Xiao Hongxia said.
Chang Xing counted with his fingers, and then said: "The horoscope has not changed, but there have been some small changes. Whether your dream can come true depends on whether these changes are good or bad for you."
"Really?" Xiao Hongxia asked.
"Would I still lie to you?" Chang Xing nodded.
"Yeah." Xiao Dajiang walked to the door and cleared his throat deliberately.
Chang Xing quickly let go of Xiao Hongxia's hand.
"Dad, Brother Chang Xing showed me my horoscopes. He said that I can still go to the city to study in the future." Xiao Hongxia said.
Xiao Dajiang smiled, you believe this too. I got it by tricking your mother into reading palms.
"Master, I sent some vegetables down. The melons and fruits in the field are full right now, and I can't finish them all. I picked some for everyone to try," Chang Xing said.
"You are such a warm-hearted kid. Your mistress will be back soon and will leave after dinner. Just now your mistress mentioned you and said you haven't had dinner with us for a long time." Xiao Dajiang said.
"No. I made an appointment with Xilai and the others to play together," Chang Xing said.
As soon as Chang Xing finished speaking, Chang Xing shouted loudly from a distance.
