The young man had actually been wary, worried that this tall young man was a bad guy, but after hearing this, he felt that the other person seemed to be very familiar with the situation in the rural area, so he immediately relaxed his vigilance - village children really have very few things to consider.
.
"Kang Yan must be working hard," he snorted and spoke in a sophisticated manner, "If you want to know the situation, then you come with me... don't move around, my big flowers can bite people."
"Haha," Chen Taizhong laughed again, "I know, it bites... Haha!"
The child was a little embarrassed by Chen Taizhong's smile, but after taking two steps, he heard the young man ask about the tobacco kang loan, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said in a mature manner, "That day I'm fooling ghosts."
"All the loans were given to related households?" Chen Taizhong asked in surprise, "Then I have to report it to the district administration."
"Oh, it's a long story," the young man sighed and stopped talking, as if imitating the vicissitudes of life.
When he didn't say anything, District Chief Chen seduced him and said, "It's true that you, an adult, slept alone at this late night and asked you to see the tobacco fields... it's a bit irresponsible."
"If the big flower screams a few more times, you won't be able to get out of this village." The young man heard what he said and snorted unconvincingly, "My dad is not sleeping either, he is smoking."
"Isn't it enough for him to sit on the kang and look at the tobacco fields?" Chen Taizhong was really a little puzzled when he heard this, "I'm not going to sleep anyway, do I have to keep guarding the kang?"
"We use earthen kangs," the boy sighed. "We can't afford electric kangs, and there are always power outages..."
The earthen kang is a kang that does not use electricity. At most, a bellows is used occasionally. When there is no blower in the elderly, this is how the kang smokes. The electric kang in Beichong dialect does not use electricity purely without fuel. The difference is that there are many
Get a blower.
Nowadays, most of the cigarette kangs in Beichong are electric kangs, which saves trouble. However, the recent power outage has been so severe that no one can bear it. Many tobacco farmers use the old earth kangs to cook cigarettes.
Tu Kang smoking is very hard. At the beginning, it was a small fire, and the green leaves were hung into yellow, which is called hanging color. This is easier to say. When setting the color over medium fire, you must always pay attention to the heat, and at these two times
, pay special attention to the wind direction. When the wind direction is wrong, open the skylight to guide the wind. Once the wind pours into the tobacco kang and the tobacco leaves are blackened, it will be in vain.
When the fire is burning, it is even more troublesome. You have to keep the fire burning, no more or less. Usually at this time, you have to work several shifts, which is really hard.
The young man calmly introduced these common sense to Chen Taizhong, "My cigarette kang is now helping others to set the color. If you set the color, it will be a big fire. But my dad said that in the recent weather, it is likely to rain, and he
You have to check the wind direction at all times and adjust the skylight, and you can't come to see the fields... Otherwise, the tobacco leaves will lose their grade, and the villagers will be scolded to death."
"Actually, the grade of tobacco leaves has little to do with your father." District Chief Chen said with a smile, "The key is to have a good relationship with the purchasing station... The current government is extremely corrupt."
"That's right, it's very corrupt." The young man nodded sagely, "My first-class cigarettes are rated as third-class."
Damn, I don’t mean to slap you in the face like this. Chen Taizhong is willing to humble himself, but he really can’t bear it when others say this. “Where has your family’s level one been changed to level three?”
"It's from our county," the young man snorted coldly, "That's why my family stopped growing cigarettes five years ago."
I'm going to choke you. Chen Taizhong's legs went weak and he barely managed to fall to the ground. Saonian, let me ask you if anyone has been promoted this year. What did you tell me about five years ago?
"This is really fucked up," District Chief Chen nodded after regaining his composure, "There are more people growing tobacco this year, and maybe there are people in the district who are trying to suppress their rank. That's why I'm investigating this matter."
"They don't dare to do it this year. My dad said that there is a public notice booth in the district where you can complain." The young man deliberately showed his maturity, "My family has planted tobacco leaves again, which means that tobacco leaves can be grown, shh...
…”
After the booing, he stood there motionless, and Chen Taizhong followed suit - what do you mean?
After standing there for about ten seconds, the young man spoke doubtfully, "I heard the sound of someone cracking smoke...Why doesn't the big flower sing?"
Splitting tobacco is a Beichong dialect, which means breaking tobacco leaves. The sound is relatively loud, especially in such a quiet night, if anyone wants to break the tobacco leaves, the sound of "pop" is indispensable.
Before he could finish speaking, Dahua screamed desperately, and a young man came out of the tobacco field in front and said with a playful smile, "Knock off two leaves, beans. Why are you staring at my field?"
"I won't worry about your family anymore," the young man spat, "You're a prodigal, two leaves are worth twenty cents."
"I poked two jokes," the young man replied with a smile, "I was just teasing you."
"Huh," the young man stopped talking and quickly led Chen Taizhong to the smoke bed in his house.
The young man's father was sitting on a wooden pillar and taking a nap. He heard the footsteps, glanced at the person coming, glanced at the smoke pit, yawned, and said in a daze, "Who is this?"
"He said he was investigating the purchase of tobacco leaves from the district." The young man took two steps away from Chen Taizhong, waved the stick, and showed a fierce look, "Honestly, what do you do?"
How could District Chief Chen be as knowledgeable as a child? He walked up to the man and squatted down, "Isn't it harder to use the earthen kang to smoke than the electric kang?"
"Isn't this nonsense? The electric kang can use coal." The man looked at him half asleep, then looked at him again, then rubbed his red and swollen eyes, looked again, and asked tentatively, "Is it Chen District?"
long?"
"Well, it's me," Chen Taizhong nodded, "I heard that the lack of electricity has a great impact on the kang smoke, so I took advantage of the cool morning to come over to understand the situation. Is the impact serious?"
"It's not serious, it's not serious," the man realized that he was in front of the district chief. He straightened his back, opened his bloodshot eyes, and answered with a smile, "The smoker can collect cigarettes according to grade, which is a good thing...it's a little hard work.
What do you mean? We are farmers."
The father and son were really talking out of tune. District Chief Chen smiled and said, "They collect cigarettes according to grade, which is what they should do. What's a good thing? I heard that some people got heat stroke because of the cigarette smoke?"
"Breaking tobacco leaves can cause heatstroke," the man muttered nonchalantly, but he finally understood what District Chief Chen wanted to ask, "There are many people using earthen kangs now, and many large kangs are connected to generators, and some have stopped.
Already."
"Are there not many big smoke beds here?" Chen Taizhong asked again.
"There are more over there in Xiaoling. Dongchazi is richer than Xiaoling. They have built a lot of earthen kangs a long time ago." The man smiled honestly and took out a cigarette pouch. He originally wanted to hand it to District Chief Chen, but after thinking about it, he hesitated.
He came back and said nonchalantly, "I didn't bring any cigarettes... It would be nice to have a bigger cigarette pot, which would save my worries, but no one can bear the power outage all day long."
"If we survive for more than a year, our power plant will generate electricity, that will be great," Chen Taizhong nodded and stood up. This man didn't know much about things, so I'd better take a trip to Xiaoling.
The man quickly stood up, walked back after seeing him off for a while, and took a look at his boy, "District Chief Chen is a nice person. He came here in the middle of the night, but he just thinks things are too simple... Master Yan is fair, isn't he better than me?"
"That's right," the young man nodded and agreed with his father, "It won't be too late to build a big cigarette kang when the district gets electricity. Besides, after two years of working in the cigarette factory, who knows whether it will do bad things?"
"The earthen kang is good," the father glared at him with bloodshot eyes, "You just think about being lazy all day long..."
Chen Taizhong did not gain anything from the conversation with the father and son. At least he saw with his own eyes the hard work of tobacco farmers. What particularly impressed him was that they didn't care at all about the lack of electricity and heat stroke. Their only wish was that the purchasing point would give them
When grading tobacco leaves, be fair.
What a kind and honest people, the young district chief sighed sincerely, with such a group of people under his jurisdiction, if I can't do something famous, how can I be worthy of them?
With this in mind, he drove into Xiaoling. The sky was getting a little brighter. When he passed by a small village, he saw a woman sitting there not far from a cigarette kang. He stopped the car and went over to ask.
Only then did I realize that this kang shop specializes in cigarettes. The tobacco leaves must be spread out to dry to absorb the dew at three or four o'clock. The tobacco leaves must be collected before the sun comes out.
I really don’t know what kind of hard work I don’t do. The woman was confused and not interested in his question. “The cigarette kang stops a lot, and the smoke is called a cigarette kang... You have eyes, but you can’t see for yourself.”
?"
"Then rest, excuse me," Chen Taizhong smiled, turned around and left. The woman's words seriously woke him up. It was midnight when he came out, and now the sky was faintly bright, and it was easy to see whether there was smoke or not.
See.
As he drove all the way, he looked at it, and the more he looked, the more worried he became. Half of the big smoke beds he saw did not emit smoke. He felt even more uncomfortable when he thought that the district had to loan money to the tobacco farmers to build the smoke beds:
It was built this year and cannot be used, but the loan interest is still paid. What the hell is going on...
With that in mind, he drove around a corner, squinted his eyes, and suddenly saw a large number of people surrounding him two or three kilometers ahead. He originally wanted to turn the corner to Xiaoling Township and then return to the district. What he saw was
Press the accelerator - that's where the traffickers were blocked last time. It's the border between Huacheng and Beichong. What happened?
In the blink of an eye, the car arrived. When he got off the car, he saw that there were two or three idle men standing in Beichong, with their arms folded and watching the fun. On the opposite side, within the limits of Huacheng, a roadblock was erected, nailed up with thick wood.
There was a barbed wire fence between them. Behind the roadblock, there were five or six agricultural vehicles and more than 20 people holding wooden and iron bars fighting in a melee.
"What's going on?" Chen Taizhong stepped forward.
Those few people were so happy that they didn't even notice the car coming behind them. Someone turned around and said, "Ah, District Chief Chen... this is what the people of Huacheng are doing themselves."
"I'm talking about this roadblock, what's going on?" District Chief Chen pointed at the roadblock and asked with a frown.
