"Okay, Brother Qiangzi didn't say anything when he was doing things. He really didn't treat his brother badly. You can also think of me when it comes to earning extra centimeters. You can arrange for me to patrol the first half of the night and the second half of the night."
"Then you can go to the latter half of the night. There will be no one there in the second half of the night, so it will be much more relaxing. It doesn't matter if you alternate between resting. From twelve o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, you can rest early. When the time comes, I will ask them to call you."
The second half of the night is also in line with Wang Manyin's wishes. The weather is hot now, and the villagers still go to bed relatively late. If someone really comes to attack at night, the possibility of a night attack is greater in the second half of the night.
"Okay, then I'll do it in the middle of the night, starting from today?"
"Starting from today, when it rains and when it ends, you should eat early and rest early. Lao Wang is not in the village, and I have to go to the brigade headquarters, so I will leave first."
After saying that, Zhang Zhiqiang walked away with two long legs. He was really particular about his work. Because it was Wang Manyin's suggestion, Wang Manyin was assigned to be on duty. Fortunately, Zhang Zhiqiang was not good at farm work, otherwise Wang Mancang's village party secretary would have been in danger.
.
Although Lanhua did not interrupt the conversation between the two people, she still heard: "Man Yin, let me start cooking now."
In fact, after Wang Manyin overcame the bad habits of his body, he was not so lethargic because of his high spirits. Being able to sleep for four hours a day can ensure that he is energetic and full of energy.
For Emperor Gan, it was a much-coveted talent, but for Wang Manyin, it was usually useless.
"It's time to start making dinner."
It's better to be busy with something than to have an orchid think about it.
Since I have my own plot of land, there is no shortage of vegetables at home. Since I have to be on duty in the middle of the night, I am going to eat noodles tonight. Lanhua makes Shaanxi noodles.
The key to making noodles is to knead the noodles with salt water. Just add a small spoonful of salt to the water.
Add water to the flour little by little, stirring with a quick stirr while adding, and finally make the flour into a "tassel" shape until there is no dry flour.
Then put the ears together to form a dough, cover and rest for half an hour.
Punch the rested dough into a ball, roll it into small strips, apply oil, cover and let it rest for half an hour.
Use a rolling pin to press both sides of the dough, then hold both ends with your hands and stretch it out. The thickness and width of the noodles depends on your personal preference.
While the noodles are waking up, you can do other preparations, such as mincing the dried chilies, mincing the green onions, and washing the green vegetables and set aside.
After the water boils, pull out a piece of noodles and put one into the pot. After the noodles cook for two or three minutes, put a piece of green vegetables into the pot and cook. When the noodles are cooked, put them into a bowl.
Then add soy sauce, vinegar, salt, minced chili and scallion to the bowl, heat the oil, pour it on top of the chili and scallion, when you hear a "sizzling" sound, a bowl of oil-splashed noodles is ready, and add a few cloves of garlic.
, it tastes full of fragrance.
Orchid doesn't make noodles that often, but it may be because the ingredients are precious and the noodles are made with care. The noodles taste smooth and chewy, with a tangy oily aroma, and are sour and spicy.
Such a bowl of noodles, even if there is no meat, tastes very luxurious. Even if Orchid saves money, it will use a lot more oil than usual for cooking. This is also Wang Manyin's special consideration on his first day working the night shift.
When Wang Manyin's noodles were eating deliciously, Lanhua asked.
"Man Yin, why do you have to go on patrol at night?"
"Lanhua, do you really want to know?"
"Can't I know?"
"If you know, you know. Once you know what you are thinking, you won't know. We patrol at night to be prepared. Someone from Shuangshui Village comes to open the dam in our Guigun Village at night."
"Shuangshui Village dares to do such a thing?"
"The rabbit is anxious and bites people, let alone people. Without water, the crops in Shuangshui Village will die from drought. At this time, there is nothing that can't be done!"
"If Shuangshui Village really comes here, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to patrol?"
"You don't have to worry about us being in danger. We have guns with us. If someone really comes, we will fire warning shots and beat gongs and drums. The old and young men in the village will naturally come over and we won't suffer any loss."
"You can't start a fight with someone."
"There shouldn't be a fight. It's very likely that when Shuangshui Village saw someone patrolling the dam, they wouldn't be stupid enough to come back and just evacuated."
"Well, if a fight breaks out, don't get hurt yourself, and don't hurt the people in Shuangshui Village."
After finishing the meal, Lanhua took Mao Dan and Gou Dan to the wheat field to play. The two little guys really need to run more. After all, they are still children. When they encounter delicious food, they will naturally eat more. Running and playing for a while can also help.
Digestion.
Wang Manyin was left alone at home. Wang Manyin took a cold bath to relieve the heat from his body, and then lay down on the kang to rest alone with a big cattail leaf fan.
The temperature is actually not bad, but Wang Manyin doesn't have the habit of going to bed early now. If he had just come here during that period, he could sleep whenever he wanted, just stick to the pillow.
When Wang Manyin used the magic of counting sheep and Momo Huhu fell asleep, he caught up with Lanhua and came back with her two children.
After another commotion for a while, Wang Manyin slept for two or three hours when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Wang Manyin directly put on his clothes and went out, then woke up Lanhua and closed the door after he left.
I saw a few people yawning, carrying flashlights, torches, and kerosene lamps. There were not many people. There were only six people in Wang Manyin, so they brought a lot of things.
This is no longer easy. Guan Guan Village is not a big village. There are twelve people in two classes, accounting for a large proportion of young adults in Guan Guan Village. This also shows that Guan Guan pays enough attention to this matter.
After scanning around, Wang Manyin discovered that Zhang Zhiqiang was very particular about the people he arranged. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he arranged for three people with the surname Wang and three people with other surnames.
There are no serious conflicts among the villagers in Guan Village, which is also the result of the village leaders trying to be fair and balanced.
When we arrived at the dam, the shift was handed over, which mainly involved handing over the weapons.
"The gun is left to you. Don't load the bullets when nothing happens."
Then there are two people in a team on the south side of the dam, and two people in a team on the north side of the dam. The two people take a rest and hold it, ready to warn at any time.
When I put some wormwood on the shore, there aren't that many mosquitoes, and the cool breeze blows, which makes it quite comfortable.
"Fat man, you don't have to be so nervous. The possibility of someone coming is not too great." Wang Manyin had good eyesight and voluntarily came to the river near the road, which was the direction from which Shuangshui Village was most likely to come.
Of course, a fat man cannot be a fat man. Wang Manyin's family is one or two years younger than Wang Manyin. Wang Mingming is also Wang Manyin's eldest nephew in terms of seniority, but the two people are closely related by blood. They almost grew up together and did not refer to seniority.
The reason why a fat man is called a fat man is because during difficult times, when there was not enough food to eat, he was hungry and swollen and looked fat, so he got the nickname of a fat man. Wang Mingming himself was very willing and had a simple wish to grow up to be a fat man.
