"What do you mean?" Li Changming lost confidence and his voice couldn't help but become rougher.
"Let's get a divorce, Li Changming!" Su Taohua said lightly.
When she said this, it was just as natural as she had said before at home: "Dad, let's eat!"
But to Li Changming's ears, it was like thunder from the sky.
She wants a divorce?
This is not possible!
"I don't agree, I won't agree! Su Taohua, you bitch, you actually want to dump me!" Li Changming shouted heartbreakingly.
"Shut up, what are you shouting for? Why do you have a director?" The person looking at Li Changming immediately spoke.
Li Changming had been beaten many times during this period. When the man opened his mouth, he flinched and did not dare to yell anymore.
"Sister, you did the right thing. It's better not to have such a man." The man proudly said to Su Taohua.
Li Changming was almost furious, but he didn't dare to speak louder, so he could only plead in a low voice: "Taohua, we have been here for decades. Which man in the brigade is not like this?"
"Besides, if you are divorced and you are a woman no one wants, others are not allowed to poke your spine?"
"You also know that others will poke my spine? If you knew, you wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Taohua, I don't agree, and you can't get a divorce. If you give up, I won't let you get a divorce." Li Changming simply broke his face.
Su Taohua is his only life-saving straw. Even if he has to go to the mines, if he has a family in the future, there is still a way out, right?
"Whether you agree or not, this marriage can be divorced!" Su Taohua said and turned around and left.
***
In a blink of an eye, it was spring plowing, and Su Xiaotian, who was not going to school, followed Du Tonghe around the crop fields all day long.
During this period, Su Xiaotian read a lot of books on agricultural planting and even breeding of improved seeds, and also listened to a lot of knowledge from Du Tonghe.
As the system becomes more powerful and smarter, Su Xiaotian absorbs all this knowledge and uses it for herself. It can be said that she is already a giant in agricultural knowledge theory.
But there is no doubt that Su Xiaotian, who only has theoretical knowledge and no practical experience, has shortcomings, and she is now trying her best to make up for them.
The eight-year-old little person was very strong and busy in the fields behind the adults, and his little face turned red from the sun.
The Su family is really distressed.
Their baby, who can walk without legs, actually walks so much every day that his little feet have blisters, but he is still working hard.
"Tian'er, let's take a rest and not go tomorrow, okay?" Grandma Su persuaded with tears in her eyes.
This baby has never suffered like this since he was born.
"Hey, no, Grandpa Du and I have to walk through every piece of land and determine what fertilizer to apply." Su Xiaotian shook her head: "The blisters look terrible, but they don't hurt, really."
Even though she said that, the expression on the little girl's face couldn't deceive anyone.
Liang Xiu could only silently take out the clean cotton cloth and bandage Su Xiaotian's little feet.
Qi Liangying and Wang Xianghua hurriedly sewed soft shoe mats and carefully placed them on the little girl's shoes.
"Xiaotian, will big brother carry you on his back from now on?" Su Shouwen said distressedly.
"That's not possible, brother. You have to be busy with the work in the brigade, and you also have to find time to read. How can you spare so much time?" Su Xiaotian waved her hands repeatedly.
"Then the second brother is carrying you!" Su Ciliang said hurriedly. He was not the accountant of the brigade, so there was nothing wrong with him.
"That won't work, second brother, I've grown up, I'm eight years old, how can I wait for you to carry me all day long?" Su Xiaotian said with a smile.
"If I really let you carry me around all day long, why don't you make people laugh at me?"
"But, you are like this..." Xiao Wu said, unable to hide his distress.
Su Xiaotian suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a method for making ointment in the book she had read before.
She laughed immediately.
"Brother, you and your second brother will help me buy some medicine from Dr. Li. I will make the ointment myself and just apply it on it."
Although they didn't know what Su Xiaotian planned to do, the two of them quickly went to the drug store to find Dr. Li and bought several medicines that Su Xiaotian wanted.
Fortunately, the medicines Su Xiaotian wanted were not uncommon medicines, and they were also available in pharmacies in the countryside.
Su Xiaotian ground and steamed it herself, and finally made a small jar of dark ointment.
After applying homemade ointment twice, the blisters on Su Xiaotian's feet shriveled up as expected. The most important thing was that they no longer hurt, and they would be completely healed in two days.
"This medicine is effective." Su Xiaotian smiled happily: "I will go back and send some to Grandpa Du. The soles of his feet are also worn out."
Grandpa Su listened, but felt very sad in his heart. Why did he give away his baby like this?
Look, all I can think about now is that old man Du.
Who knows his suffering!
"Xiaotian, why do you only think about your Grandpa Du and not Grandpa?" Grandpa Su finally couldn't hold it back and asked.
Su Xiaotian was stunned, and then she realized that her grandfather was jealous.
"Grandpa, do you have blisters on the soles of your feet?" Su Xiaotian asked with big eyes.
Her grandfather had worked in the fields all his life and had a thick layer of calluses on the soles of his feet. Not to mention blisters after just a few steps in shoes, even if he walked barefoot, there would be no problem.
Grandpa Su only felt more and more sad. Why was that grandpa more valuable than his own grandpa?
Su Xiaotian snickered, and then said: "Sir, I know your legs hurt. When summer comes, I will carefully prepare some ointment for you and put it on all summer. It will not hurt in autumn and winter!"
After hearing his little granddaughter's thoughtful words, Grandpa Su smiled like a baby.
Looking at the old man's proud smile, Grandma Su felt a little dissatisfied.
"Xiaotian, why do you only think about your grandpa?"
"Milk, don't worry, we have yours too. There's just an ointment suitable for you to use." Su Xiaotian hurriedly hugged Grandma Su's arm and said coquettishly.
After a long lap, the family members were finally calmed down, and Su Xiaotian also brought homemade ointment to the cowshed.
Chi Yiyuan was cleaning the cattle pen. When he saw Su Xiaotian coming, he smiled and said hello, but he didn't come over.
"Brother Yiyuan, I'll help you later!" Su Xiaotian shouted.
Chi Yiyuan hurriedly said: "No, there is only a little left. Your brothers helped to clean it thoroughly yesterday, and there is only a little left." Chi Yiyuan stopped it hurriedly.
Just kidding, how can a cute little girl work in a cattle pen and get dirty and smelly?
After hearing this, Su Xiaotian didn't force herself.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Chi, are you here?" Su Xiaotian shouted with a bright smile.
"They went to dig wild vegetables. They said that the wild vegetables at this time are the most tender and can be eaten for a long time if they are dug and dried." Chi Yiyuan replied with a smile: "You have something to do with them?"
"It's not a big deal. I just made some ointment myself, which is the best for treating blisters on my feet." Su Xiaotian said cheerfully.
"Grandpa Du's soles have been so painful these past two days that he can't sleep well at night." Chi Yiyuan immediately said, "I can hear his moans even if I live next door."
"I tried it and it worked very well." Su Xiaotian placed the medicine jar outside Du Tonghe's door.
Seeing Chi Yiyuan still busy in the bullpen, Su Xiaotian ran over with her short legs.
"You run slowly and just stand over there. Why are you running here?" Chi Yiyuan shouted hurriedly.
"Brother Yiyuan, if you don't come over, I will come find you!"
"I smell bad. I'll wait until the cowshed is cleaned up before I can play with you." Chi Yiyuan said with a smile.
"But……"
"It's nothing, just stand over there and we talk." Chi Yiyuan insisted.
Su Xiaotian stood not far from the bullpen and talked to Chi Yiyuan.
"Brother Yiyuan, is Grandpa Chi's stomachache feeling better?"
"It's much better. If you eat well, you'll get better slowly." Chi Yiyuan said.
If it weren't for Su Xiaotian, I really don't know if grandpa could have persisted until now.
Chi Yiyuan felt scared just thinking about it.
"Ask Grandpa Chi to go to Dr. Li for a diagnosis and tell me the results of the pulse diagnosis. I'll see if I can prepare some medicine for Grandpa Chi."
Su Xiaotian didn't dare to say that she diagnosed her own pulse. This was a technical job that required long-term training. However, based on other people's diagnosis, she tried to diagnose her own pulse to make a final decision.
Then prepare a medicine. Su Xiaotian thinks this will definitely work.
It's not that she is arrogant, but because there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine. She estimates that there are not many people around her who can match her in medical skills.
"You can also prepare medicine?" Chi Yiyuan obviously didn't expect it and asked in surprise.
But then, he thought that the reason why grandpa's stomach improved was because the medicine Su Xiaotian gave grandpa was boiled in millet.
"I know a little bit, but I'm not professional!" Su Xiaotian said hurriedly.
"I believe you." Chi Yiyuan said.
A few days later, Su Changjiu took people to the county town and picked up a tractor. This was the first reward for delivering public grain last year.
Su Chang was sitting on the brand-new tractor, which was a very proud moment.
But he also knew that if it weren't for Chen Zian's help, the Red Heart Brigade would have no chance of getting this tractor.
This is all the credit of the old Su family.
Therefore, the final driver of this tractor was Su Laosan.
The reason why Su Laosan was chosen was that in the entire brigade, Su Laosan was the best at driving a tractor, and he was very eloquent, even Su Laosan and Su Laoer were incomparable.
Even if there are other members who are not satisfied with this decision, they have no choice but to accept it.
Someone asked why Su Laosan knew so much. Su Laosan said proudly: "That's because I studied the most seriously in the literacy class. When I asked you to learn literacy, you were all busy bragging!"
When everyone thought about it, it turned out that every time in the literacy class, Su Laosan was the most serious.
No, it should be said that both men and women in the old Su family studied very seriously.
Is it possible that literacy really has so many benefits?
But when they thought that the old Su family had a driver and a brigade accountant, and even the youngest Su Xiaotian could help in the fields, they really believed it.
Suddenly, the people in the brigade became much more serious when they took the literacy class.
With the help of tractors, the Red Heart Brigade can farm much faster.
The tractors scurry across the fields of the brigade every day, attracting the envy of the members of the surrounding brigade.
But no matter how much you envy you, it's of no use.
The Tractor Heart Team can't use it themselves, so they don't have time to help others.
As the driver, Su Laosan is also a well-known figure in the brigade.
Grandpa Su is so happy!
All the children in the family are successful, what could be happier than this?
Even the eldest daughter who never had a child to be molested by her husband's family is doing better now.
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the summer harvest begins.
The members found that the crops of their Red Heart Brigade were growing well this year and they worked harder.
By the time the entire brigade worked together to collect all the crops in the yard, it took four days faster than last year.
Su Laosan drove the tractor and drove the field in the yard. Others in the team helped, and the speed was even faster.
"Comrade members, comrades, I just received a notice from the commune that there will be a heavy rain in three days. We must work hard and load all the grain into the warehouse within three days."
Su Jiujiu's voice reached every household through the loudspeaker in the brigade.
The Su family members who were having breakfast hurriedly put the sweet potato porridge in their bowls into their mouths and rushed out the door one by one.
Outside, many people were running towards the courtyard.
After months of hard work, we can't let a heavy rain destroy all our crops.
The red heart brigade harvests crops faster, but the other surrounding brigade harvests crops slower.
There were several brigades whose crops were still in the fields, and these brigades were in a panic.
These teams regret that they didn't get first place. If they had been more active in handing out public rations last year and compared them with the Hearts team, they would be the ones who don't have to worry about it now.
Especially the Dongfanghong Brigade, they regretted it even more. Captain Luo regretted it so much that he almost beat his chest.
Why did he lose his tractor for a few hundred kilograms of grain? They were clearly the first, and it was really short-sighted just for that little grain.
Not only Captain Luo regretted it, but other members of the Dongfanghong Brigade also complained about Captain Luo.
Even the commune members who thought Captain Luo was smart and could save food for them in previous years also complained about Captain Luo.
Captain Luo shot himself in the foot.
Unlike the Dongfanghong Brigade who directed their complaints towards the captain, the members of the Xiangyang Brigade directed their anger more towards Mrs. Wang and the Wang family.
The Wang family was originally a single family in Xiangyang Brigade with no one to help them, and now they are even more disliked and resented by others.
Why resentment?
The members felt that if the Wang family had not abused and bullied Su Manxiu, Su Manxiu would still be a member of the Xiangyang Brigade. Since her third brother was the driver, how could she help the Xiangyang Brigade?
Mrs. Wang herself regretted it. Liu Xiaocui's baby was born, and it looked nothing like anyone from the old Wang family. Even if she didn't want to believe that the baby was not from their old Wang family, she couldn't lie to herself.
She really regretted forcing Su Manxiu away just because of such a bitch.
But now, Su Manxiu is married and is about to have a baby, so it's too late to say anything.
In three days, with the concerted efforts of all members of the brigade, the last load of grain from the Red Heart Brigade was loaded into the warehouse.
Members who have been busy for many days now have time to take a good rest.
But soon, someone from the Red Heart Brigade came to ask for help after learning that the Red Heart Brigade had put all the crops into storage.
Su Jiujiu quickly summoned the people in the brigade to hold a members' meeting.
It has to be said that at this time, people really put the collective interests above all else. Although each of them was very tired, they quickly gathered together and brought tools to help other teams.
Even the four people in the bullpen took their gear and went out to help.
The people in the bullpen went to other teams to help. The people in the Hearts team didn't think it was anything, but the people in the other teams were surprised.
But at the critical moment, even if I have doubts in my heart, I don’t have time to say anything.
Time is of the essence, and the grinding yard will definitely not be able to catch up. So the wheat heads are chopped off with a guillotine and placed in temporarily vacated warehouses. In order to save crops, many people have vacated all the warehouses at home.
Even so, when the heavy rain came, some food still fell into the rainwater. Fortunately, it was placed in a relatively high place and protected by straw curtains. As long as the weather did not continue to rain, it could be rescued.
Fortunately, after a heavy rain, the dark clouds cleared the next afternoon, everything turned out to be in order, and most of the crops were saved.
Those who suffered the greatest crop losses were Dongfanghong Brigade and Xiangyang Brigade.
Because the Heart Brigade helped several brigades, but avoided these two brigades.
Without foreign aid, their losses would of course be serious.
In this food defense battle, the Red Heart Brigade helped several brigades and received praise from several brigades. Some brigades even came to the Red Heart Brigade to express their gratitude.
When several captains of the brigade saw that the Red Heart brigade actually had much more food than they did, they felt envious and jealous.
"Captain Su, your brigade's land is about the same as ours. Why is there so much more food than ours?"
Those who can work in the brigade are all talented people, and you can tell the difference with just one glance.
Su Jiujiu smiled proudly. There were a lot more. This was all due to Du Tonghe.
But can you say this? No!
He just laughed and joked, and the captains of the other brigade knew that they couldn't ask any questions.
But it doesn't matter if you can't ask anything from Du Tonghe, there are so many people in the Red Heart Brigade, they can always ask.
No one bothered Su Jiujiu, so Su Jiujiu immediately went to Su Shouwen to determine how high this year's grain output would be.
Jinniang's crops have indeed produced much more than last year, but by how much is a question.
"Captain, according to last year's record, our brigade's grain yield per mu this year has increased by 20% compared to last year." Su Shouwen was also very excited. When he spoke, his eyes were full of smiles.
When Su Jiujiu came to this conclusion, he simply couldn't believe what he saw.
"Really?" Su Jiujiu asked Su Shouwen.
Su Shouwen nodded solemnly: "I've calculated it three times. This is the data, no problem."
"Okay, it's great. Everyone in our team will have enough to eat this year, so we don't have to eat porridge all the time." Su Jiujiu was so excited that he almost cried.
He is a seven-foot-tall man, but he has no ability to feed the big guys. This is the pain in his heart.
