Chapter 9 Digging Winter Bamboo Shoots

"The matter of Laiwang as a poverty alleviation target can be decided immediately, but the appropriation matter will not be done for a while. It will be the end of the year soon, and our town government also has practical difficulties. The relief fund plan has been distributed, and then

It is not in compliance with the regulations to get a relief fund. In addition, it is not easy to keep accounts." Zhou Qingguo had a good relationship with Zhao Shengcai and did not engage in official talk with Zhao Shengcai.

"How can that be done? My house has collapsed and I can't live in it at all. Now I live in a ruined temple. If this thing spreads, it will be criticized or not. Besides, my family has suffered such a big disaster and there is no relief at all. What do you call me?"

How do people survive?" Zhao Shengcai said.

"Secretary Shengcai, please don't embarrass me about this matter. I have tried my best to get Zhao Laiwang in your village to receive aid for next year. Now you want me to go to the leader to ask for money?

I definitely can’t do the job. Our Huangshi Town is a poor town, and the town will be short of money at the end of the year. Therefore, it is best for Murakami to find a way to solve this problem first. Next year, it is said that the superiors will have seconded cadres to work at the grassroots level. These people are

He is the God of Wealth, maybe by that time, the chances will be greater." Zhou Qingguo said.

"That's it. Then I'll think of a solution when I go back. But Director Zhou, you have to help me implement this matter. The actual situation in Laiwang is really difficult. If this matter cannot be handled well, the work in the village will not be good in the future.

It has been launched. Now the village can't come up with any money. I'm afraid I'll have to spend my own money to solve the practical problems of this poor household when I go back." Zhao Shengcai was really in trouble this time. He didn't know how he would tell his mother-in-law this after he returned.

.You must take out a sum of money from your mother-in-law, otherwise, if He Biqing reveals this matter, you will not get any good results.

"Haha, thank you, old secretary. If all the cadres in each village can be like you, then our work will be much easier. Don't worry, I will definitely implement this matter for you." Zhou Qingguo sent Zhao Shengcai away.

When he arrived at the door, it was the first time for Zhao Shengcai to enjoy such high treatment, and his initially worried mood suddenly became lighter.

If Lai Wang knew that Zhao Shengcai worked so hard for him, I don't know if he would be completely moved. But Lai Wang didn't expect Zhao Shengcai to really get him a poverty alleviation fund. He has been thinking about a very complicated life.

Planning issues.

Lai Wang has two main plans for the future. One is to work in Zhao Dajun's factory. When Zhao Dajun's father passed away, Zhao Dajun patted his chest and promised to let Lai Wang join the factory. The other is to work in Zhao Dajun's factory.

The family manages the two acres of farmland at home, and then does odd jobs nearby. It is best to learn a trade. A skilled construction worker can do light work at a high price. In fact, there is a third option in Laiwang, Laifu

He is quite capable, and relying on Laifu to hunt in Xingziluo Mountain is also a good choice. However, hunting is illegal now. If he does this for a long time, he will end up in jail sooner or later. Laiwang is worried that if he is in jail in the future, there will not even be anyone to deliver food.

He had many thoughts and was very conflicted in his heart, but Lai Wang did not struggle for too long, because after thinking about these issues for about thirty minutes, Lai Wang had already fallen asleep, and thunderous snoring sounded in the mountain temple.

Laifu, who had been lying in a weird posture in the haystack, was obviously dissatisfied with Lai Wang's big noise. He opened his eyes, looked at Lai Wang with a look of regret and anger, then got up and walked around the mountain temple.

After a turn, the temple was in a mess, and the evidence of one person eating a large meal yesterday was still on the ground. I don’t know when Laifu started, but he had no interest in the tasteless and meatless bones abandoned on the ground.

As the local saying goes, a dog eats shit and a wolf eats meat. When it becomes more capable, it must eat food that matches its status. Laifu no longer has any interest in bones.

Laifu was a little dissatisfied with Laiwang, a guy who was just enjoying the benefits. Apart from making the food delicious, he seemed to have nothing good for him. Looking at Laiwang who was sleeping soundly, Laifu suddenly pounced on Laifu and hit Laifu's butt.

He opened his small mouth suddenly and took a hard bite. He didn't even look at Lai Wang's reaction, but ran away.

"ah!"

A shrill wail erupted from the mountain temple, and then Laiwang's slightly rich voice sounded.

"You bitch, let's see if I don't kill you!"

Lai Wang didn't realize that this curse word was not even a curse word to Lai Fu.

Lai Wang only had time to see a yellow figure leap out from the gate, and then quickly run towards the forest.

Being bitten twice in succession by the same beast on the same part, Lai Wang was completely enraged. He grabbed something and threw it towards Lai Fu's back. But Lai Fu's fur was not even touched.

Lai Wang obviously wasn't relieved enough, so he wanted to chase him out. But the coldness coming from the ground made Lai Wang sober up a little. He couldn't go barefoot like an animal. But soon Lai Wang discovered the tragedy.

, he actually threw one of his only pairs of shoes out. He didn't know if he would be very lucky and fall into a ditch full of water.

Lai Wang put on one shoe and hopped out on one leg. He finally found the wet shoes from the puddle, but Lai Fu had already disappeared. Naturally, Lai Wang didn't think he could beat that one by running on two legs.

A beast with four legs.

He touched his butt that was still a little sore. Although he was still angry, he was still a little surprised by the precision of Laifu's mouth. He bit his butt twice, but not once did he leave a wound.

"It's best not to come back! Otherwise I will make you look good." Lai Wang shouted in the direction where Lai Fu disappeared.

Returning to the mountain temple, Lai Wang frowned when he saw the chicken bones lying on the ground. He originally wanted Lai Fu to pick up the bones and eat them, but he didn't expect that Lai Fu would now eat them in his mouth. Just like when he first picked them up, he had a rice ball.

Just being able to cope with one day has been completely different.

After Laifu cleaned the mountain temple, he thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing he could do. Instead, he thought of what to eat for breakfast.

During slack times in rural areas, people usually eat two meals a day and eat breakfast very late. It is not uncommon for people like Laiwang to have no meal until after ten o'clock.

Lai Wang couldn't think about what he could eat at noon, because unless he ate all the rice with the leftover soup in the pot at noon, he could only watch Lai Fu's harvest go into the pot. A big living person had to rely on a dog to sustain himself.

Life makes Lai Wang blush slightly.

"You can't eat this pheasant for lunch." In this section, Laiwang and Laifu ate a lot of chicken. Laiwang started to feel nauseous when he smelled the meat. But what else could they eat without chicken?

?There are many winter dishes in other people’s homes. There are cabbage, radish, spinach, coriander...

But Lai Wang's family has none of these. The land of Lai Wang's family has always been abandoned. The weeds inside can already hide hares.

"What is there to eat in the mountains in winter?" If Laiwang wants to eat some seasonal dishes in winter, it is either at night or in the mountains. This time, Laiwang suffered a disaster, and almost every family in Zhaojiatun expressed their opinions.

, At this time, Laiwang really couldn't make a move. Therefore, Laiwang was only tempted by the first and easiest option, and then gave up.

Faced with the only choice, Lai Wang scratched his head and thought about it. There seemed to be a lot of wild vegetables in winter. Especially since it hadn't snowed yet, there were still a lot of things to find. Winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest should be a winter delicacy.

There are mushrooms, which are also very delicious, and various wild vegetables.

Laiwang found a hoe dug out from the ruins of the old house from the corner of the wall, then took a snakeskin bag and walked into the woods.

There is a bamboo forest not far from the mountain temple. In the past, there would be a lot of people picking winter bamboo shoots in the mountains every day. However, now that young people have gone out to work, this bamboo forest has almost been forgotten by others. Don’t look at it.

There is a large bamboo forest. If you want to dig bamboo shoots from the steep bamboo forest, in addition to having a very good vision, you also need perseverance and physical strength.

Laiwang naturally has no lack of vision. Young students who grew up in rural areas can know where to dig up winter bamboo shoots by looking at the growth of bamboo. According to the theory of botanists, plant nutrients are transported on the same side, so

As long as the branches and leaves are more lush on the side of the bamboo, the chance of digging bamboo shoots on this side is higher. But if a very professional botanist is asked to dig bamboo shoots, he will definitely come back empty-handed.

Due to the steep mountains, the growth of bamboo in the bamboo forest is very irregular, so it takes some experience to find bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. As long as you are willing to work hard in Laiwang, digging a few bamboo shoots is not a problem.

Clinging to the bamboo with his hands, Lai Wang crawled under a bamboo that was most likely to have bamboo shoots. Lai Wang only glanced at the soil under the bamboo, cursed, and walked to another place. He could tell that there were more than just Lai Wang in that place.

One, Lai Wang arrived a little late. Judging from the bamboo shoot skin left on the ground, the bamboo shoot weighed at least one or two kilograms. Although if you continue to follow the openings made by others, you can sometimes find surprises, but come

Wang is not a person who likes to eat leftovers.

A few hours passed like this, and Laiwang spent two-thirds of his time looking for bamboo shoots, but he was also very lucky. He even found a few bamboo shoots that had sprouted. In one morning, he actually

I also harvested more than ten kilograms of bamboo shoots. According to the market price of eight yuan per kilogram, I almost earned more than one hundred yuan.

Lai Wang was not ready to continue. His clothes were soaked with sweat. Although he was much stronger than before, digging bamboo shoots was indeed not an easy task.

Laiwang did not go back directly, but went to the south-facing hillside to pick a piece of wild shepherd's purse. Wild vegetables can be seen everywhere in the countryside, but people in the countryside do not like them as much as people in the city. The taste of wild vegetables is naturally not as good as cultivated vegetables.

Delicious. Otherwise, people today would not regard those days in the 1950s and 1960s as a kind of suffering.
