Wang Lidong left the school and walked more than a hundred meters to the Yuanxi Guest House. He took out a letter of introduction from the village and asked for a single room.
A receptionist recognized him and said, "Comrade Sun Shaoan, are you here to buy fertilizer again?"
Wang Lidong showed a helpless expression and said that he did not buy enough quantity last time.
After successfully getting the key to the room, he went upstairs and looked at the room. The layout was exactly the same as the last room, and the sheets and bedding were also very clean. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was still early, so he went downstairs and looked around the entire guest house.
After that, I went back to elementary school again.
When Run Ye got off work, the three of them returned to Tian Fujun's house. Tian Futang and Sun Yuting had already returned to Shuangshui Village. After dinner at Tian Fujun's house, he and Run Ye left the county Revolutionary Committee compound together.
Runye took Wang Lidong's hand and apologized, "Brother Shao'an, don't be angry with the second mother. She has been humiliated this time, so she is in a very bad mood."
During the meal just now, Runye's second mother kept a cold face, as if Wang Lidong owed her 10,000 yuan.
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "I can't do that. To be honest, I don't like your second mother."
Runye said, "Then we won't come here if nothing happens. In fact, I don't like the second mother very much."
Wang Lidong whispered to his wife, "Don't go back to school. I have a room at the Yuanxi Guest House. Let's stay there tonight."
Runye's face instantly turned red, and he lowered his head and let out a soft hum.
Five minutes later, the two came to the west wall of the Yuanxi County Guest House. Wang Lidong held Runye and turned over the wall. The two quietly arrived at Room 8 on the second floor.
After entering the room, he hugged his limp wife for a while, and the hard board let out a heart-rending wail.
"Daughter-in-law, wait a minute." Wang Lidong suddenly stepped on the brakes, opened the quilt, found his cotton bag, took out a clean white towel, got back into bed, and handed the towel to his wife's mouth, "Bite this.
"
Runye looked confused, "Brother Shao'an, why are you biting the towel?"
Wang Lidong explained, "The soundproofing of this room is not very good. We don't have a marriage certificate. If the waiter comes to check the room, it will be in trouble."
Run Ye asked strangely, "Brother Shao'an, why did the waiter come to check the room?"
It seemed that his wife still didn't know how penetrating her high notes were. He whispered into Runye's ear, "You scream too loudly, be good and bite."
Runye bit the towel and felt a bad feeling in her heart. She suddenly remembered taking off the towel at home last night and asked, "Did my parents hear it last night?"
Wang Lidong had an expression on his face that said, "You are talking nonsense." "Good boy, bite it," he released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator twice.
Time flies, and it’s late June before we know it.
Wang Lidong wore a big straw hat and rode a maroon horse onto a stone bridge. He pulled the reins to stop the horse and looked at the Dongla River under the bridge. The turbulent river water in the past had long since disappeared.
, the Donla River has now become a small ditch, and a large area of the river bed is exposed to the air.
"Sun Yidao, Sun Yidao"
Wang Lidong followed the sound and saw a short, fat woman waving to him two to three hundred meters ahead.
"coming."
I don't know who took the lead in shouting, but he got the nickname "Sun Yidao" for no reason. As time goes by, more and more people shout like this.
"Drive." Wang Lidong gently pinched the horse's belly, and the bay-red horse immediately started to move. It came to the short and fat woman in just a few breaths.
Originally, he wanted to buy a 28-foot-long mule as a means of transportation. One day, a mule in the team fell ill. The breeder took him to help him take a look. He happened to see three big horses tied in the stable.
In this era, within the original West County, riding a horse was much more labor-saving and convenient than riding a bicycle.
He immediately made a report to Party Secretary Tian Futang. As the veterinarian of Shuangshui Village, in order to better serve the villagers and make it easier to go out for medical practice, he specially applied for a horse as a means of transportation. That night, he led the bay red horse back.
at home.
"Is she Mrs. Liu?"
The short and fat woman smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
Wang Lidong dismounted and followed Mrs. Liu into the village. After turning left and right for three to four hundred meters, he entered a farmyard with a row of cave dwellings. He counted as many as nine holes. It seemed that it belonged to a wealthy family.
.
At this time, the small courtyard was crowded with people, all of whom came to see Wang Lidong kill pigs. When they saw him entering the courtyard, many children shouted, "Sun Yidao is here!"
"Sun Yidao is here."
Wang Lidong smiled, having become accustomed to such scenes, "Sister-in-law Liu, are the fire and barrels ready?"
Sister-in-law Liu smiled and said, "Master Sun, please go inside first for a drink of water and a cigarette."
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, thank you. There will be several more companies later. Let's make a quick decision."
Sister-in-law Liu was no longer polite, "Everything is ready, a big wooden bucket filled with pig blood, and the fire is ready. I'll ask my man to light it right away."
Wang Lidong looked around the yard and asked, "Where are the pigs?"
Sister-in-law Liu took him to the pigsty at the end of the yard. A big black pig was walking around in the pigsty, looking restless, as if he knew his fate.
Wang Lidong glanced at the big black pig. A look of fear immediately appeared on the black pig's face, and his whole body shuddered. "Sister-in-law Liu, your pig is really well raised. It is estimated to be about 150 kilograms."
Mrs. Liu grinned and said, "Usually the child is fed by his father, and he bathes the beast every day. He often goes to the river to catch some small fish and shrimps for it to eat. He is more attentive than the child.
"
Wang Lidong opened the pigsty, grabbed the big fat pig's ears, pulled the pig out of the pigsty, and gently slapped the pig's neck with his right hand. The big fat pig immediately fell to the ground, and his legs stiffened after two slaps.
Not moving anymore.
Sister-in-law Liu immediately called three people and carried the pig to a stone platform about ten meters away. Wang Lidong took out the butcher knife and stabbed it into the pig's main artery. "Stab!" A large amount of pig blood spurted out and flowed to the platform.
into the big wooden barrel.
Bloodletting, shaving, removing hair with fire, disemboweling
"Sister-in-law Liu, do you want to debone it?"
"Tick."
Wang Lidong used the technique of "cooking the ox" to remove the bones and cut the meat of the big fat pig.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The melon-eaters in the yard couldn't help shouting when they saw a complete pig skeleton.
"This knife skill is so amazing"
"Sun Yidao is so awesome."
The pig-killing knife returned to its sheath, and Wang Lidong said, "Sister-in-law Liu, the pig is finished."
Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly handed over the cigarettes, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Sun. Come in and sit for a while."
After Wang Lidong took the cigarette and lit it, he waved his hand and said, "I won't sit down anymore. It's almost 4 o'clock. I'm going to Lishui Village right away."
Mrs. Liu immediately asked her man to cut a large piece of meat and put it into a mesh bag. Wang Lidong took the mesh bag, which was estimated to be three and a half kilograms. This was his reward for killing the pig. After thanking him, he left the yard.
Stuff the mesh bag into a sack on the horse, untie the reins, get on the horse, and "drive"
In the evening, Wang Manyin, a second-rate man, rode a 28-meter pole to a small forest at the entrance of Shuangshui Village. He looked around and found no one there, so he pushed his cart into the small forest.
I found a shady spot, parked my car, and sat on the ground with my back against a big pine tree. I took out the golden monkey, lit one, and took a couple of puffs. Thinking of what I had experienced in the past two days, I really agreed with the old saying that the only way to survive a disaster is to die.
Later blessing.
Last month, he was peddling rat poison in several production teams under the Shigejie Commune. He was accidentally caught by the militia again. Like last time, he was sent to the battle construction site in Shuangshui Village for forced fishing.
This time, no matter how much my wife begged my uncle, he never reached out to fish him out. After more than half a month of fishing, he lost a total of twenty kilograms. When he was first released, he was walking with tremors.
.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to his father-in-law's house to pick up his wife, he was beaten so hard by his brother-in-law that he had to lie in bed for a full week before he recovered.
But there is always a way, and he found a way to make a fortune from his wife.
My uncle's skill in killing pigs has spread to several nearby communes. Every day, people come to my uncle to kill pigs. On average, he can kill three or four pigs a day.
Nowadays, you can't get paid for killing pigs, and the reward is three kilograms of pork. Calculating, my brother-in-law has more than ten kilograms of pork a day, which is too much for the family to eat.
Wang Lidong also had a headache about this. If the winter was fine, it could be stored for two or three days, but it was a hot summer and raw pork could be stored for at most one day, so he could only go to the ghost market at midnight every day to sell the meat.
After a long time, I felt tired.
It happened that the second-rate brother-in-law came to the door and wanted to take over the pork. The two hit it off immediately. After agreeing on the price, he would give Wang Manyin the day's pork at the entrance of the village every afternoon.
It’s a win-win situation.
The sound of horse hoofbeats rang in his ears. Wang Manyin immediately raised his head and looked towards the road, and saw his uncle riding a horse and stopping at the edge of the woods.
He immediately stood up and trotted forward to meet him, "Shaoan, how many kilograms of meat did you have today? How many pictures were taken into the water?"
Wang Lidong got off the horse, took off the two sacks on the horse's back, took out a cotton bag from inside, and handed the two sacks to the second-rate brother-in-law, "Fifteen pounds of pork, three pairs of pigs."
Wang Manyin was overjoyed. He hurriedly took out his cigarette and lit it for his uncle. Then he squatted down and untied the two sacks. He looked at it and saw that there was not much difference between the pig and the water. The fifteen kilograms of pork were all fat. That's all.
He could get another four or five dollars.
He took Wang Lidong and walked a few steps into the woods, looked around, took out a roll of banknotes and said, "Shaoan, the payment for yesterday's goods is 29 yuan in total. Count it."
Wang Lidong took it and stuffed it into his pocket, "Sister, how about cat and dog eggs?"
Wang Manyin smiled and said, "Now I have meat to eat every meal, it's good,"
Wang Lidong said, "My parents are already thinking about cats and dogs. Please ask me to take the time to take the two little guys back home."
Wang Manyin agreed without any hesitation, saying that he would let his wife and two children go back to her father-in-law's house tomorrow.
Wang Lidong said, "Then I'll go back."
Wang Manyin quickly grabbed his uncle and said, "Shaoan, a family in our village is going to hold a wedding next week. He wants 50 kilograms of pork. Can he get it?"
"Fifty pounds? Which family is so wealthy?"
"The youngest son of our village party secretary."
"What day do you work on?"
"Next Wednesday."
“Is wild boar okay?”
"Wild boar?"
Wang Lidong said, "A domestic pig only has ten kilograms of meat after being killed. How can you ask me to help you get so much meat? If you ask me, if I can get wild boar meat, I can get it even for a hundred kilograms."
Wang Manyin's eyes brightened, he looked around for a while, and whispered, "Shaoan, can you get a large amount of wild boar meat?"
Wang Lidong said, "How many can you get in a month?"
Wang Manyin hurriedly asked, "What's the price of wild boar meat?"
"If I give it to you, it's 8 cents per pound. The price is the same as water."
"I'll give you a guarantee tomorrow. Can you get me thirty kilograms of wild boar tomorrow? I'll try to sell it."
"Wild boar meat is not sold at retail and can only be shipped one by one. Remember to tell me two days in advance when you want the goods."
Wang Manyin frowned slightly, "Can we only ship the whole head? How can we sell them all in one day?"
Wang Lidong said, "I don't specialize in this. I'm leaving."
Wang Manyin smiled and waved his hand, "Shaoan, ride slowly and be careful on the road."
Wang Lidong rode into Shuangshui Village, and first went to his father-in-law's house, "Auntie, I'll cook soup for Uncle Futang with two pounds of pig lungs."
Runye's mother took the pig lungs from her son-in-law and said with a smile, "Since your uncle Futang drank the pig lung soup, his throat has become much more comfortable than before. He hasn't coughed in the past two days. Come in and sit down quickly.
Drink a bowl of herbal tea
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "No need, Auntie, I'm going back."
Runye's mother warned, "Ride slowly."
"knew."
Wang Lidong left his father-in-law's house, got on his horse and arrived at his yard soon after.
"I'm back."
The old lady was sitting in the yard, counting painkillers. When she heard her eldest grandson's voice, she squinted and asked, "Is An An back?"
The younger sister Lanxiang, who was sitting aside and doing her homework, said, "Big brother is back."
After Wang Lidong locked the horses in the stable, he walked to the pig pen. Three big black pigs were lying on the ground, breathing with their mouths wide open.
He looked at the trough and found that there was still a shallow layer of pigweed in it. The weather was getting hotter, and the appetites of the three pigs had also become smaller.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He walked to the water tank in the yard, filled two buckets, and cooled down the three pigs.
The three black pigs immediately grunted happily.
The younger sister Lanxiang heard the movement and looked up, "Brother, when are you going to sell Dahei?"
Wang Lidong took a look at the fattest of the three pigs. It was bumpy, round and plump, with blinking little eyes. It was very charming. After visual inspection, he estimated that it weighed one hundred fifty or sixty kilograms. "
When the meat growth slows down one day, we will send it to the food station."
The younger sister Lan Xiang came to the pig pen and looked at the three big fat pigs and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Wang Lidong said, "After pigs grow to a certain size, their meat growth will slow down. Our pigs have been growing about 30 kilograms of meat per month in the past few months. When they lose 20 kilograms in a certain month, they can be put out for slaughter.
Already."
Lan Xiang said, "Brother, what are you having for dinner?"
Wang Lidong asked, "What vegetables do you have at home?"
Lan Xiang said, "Cabbage, beans, and eggplant."
"In the evening we will eat twice-cooked pork, minced meat and eggplant, and then give grandma the whole meat and steamed eggs."
When the old man Sun Yuhou saw his eldest son, he said, "After dinner, you come with me to the brigade headquarters for a meeting."
Wang Lidong took out a piece of liver and a piece of pork from the cotton bag, "Today is Friday, will the Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants' Association be held?"
Sun Yu said kindly, "Fu Gao didn't say it, it just told you to be there and not to be absent."
Wang Lidong washed the pig liver, put it into a clay pot, added mulberry leaves, wolfberry and other medicinal materials, and slowly cooked it on a small homemade clay stove.
"What time will the meeting be held tonight?"
"six thirty."
At 6:30 in the evening, the lights were brightly lit at the Shuangshui Village brigade headquarters, and the courtyard was filled with villagers sitting on more than a dozen rows of wooden benches.
Wang Lidong and his younger sister supported the old lady and walked into the brigade headquarters with the old man.
"Shaoan is here. Come and sit with me."
"Shao Anwa is here, come and sit with me."
When the villagers saw him, they immediately greeted him warmly. When the pig feed was first promoted, many members were somewhat resistant. Due to Tian Futang's power, they had to follow the instructions, but secretly they were okay with Tianfutang and Wang Lidong, who provided the prescription.
Good words.
Less than half a month later, everyone discovered that their pigs had no problems, but their meat was growing very fast. The situation was immediately reversed, and they all praised each other when they saw it.
Tian Fugao, the captain of the first team, saw his friend coming and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shaoan, you are here."
After Wang Lidong helped the old lady find an empty seat and sit down, he took out his cigarettes and scattered one. "What kind of meeting are we going to have today? Several militiamen have been arranged to stand guard outside."
Tian Fugao took the cigarette, lit it and said, "Tonight, our village is going to destroy several dams on the Dongla River."
Wang Lidong nodded.
In the past two months, there has not been a drop of rain in Yuanxi County or even in the Guanzhong area. The three villages in the upper reaches of the Donla River began to build dams on the Donla River more than a month ago to prepare for grabbing water. Shuangshui Village is located next to the three villages.
Downstream, if the three dams are really built, there will be no water to irrigate the land.
He reminded Tian Futang a month ago to avoid being like in the TV series, where he waited until the Dongla River ran out of water and then improvised.
This month, Tian Futang went to the commune countless times. However, the two directors of Shigejie Commune did not have enough prestige. They tried to mediate for a month, but they had no effect at all. I don't know what happened.
On the rostrum, Tian Futang saw that all the villagers had arrived, so he asked everyone to be quiet and talked about the content of tonight's meeting.
After he finished talking about his plan to dig out the embankment tonight, all the villagers raised their hands to express their agreement. Everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"The dam of Guangu Village is led by the captain of the second team, Jin Junwu, and the dam of Shigejie Commune is led by branch committee member Sun Yuting."
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the two teams set off. Shigejie Commune was far away, so they were picked up by a tractor. Everyone sat on the tractor and looked at Wang Lidong who was riding a horse and enjoying himself behind. They couldn't help but feel a little envious.
The process of removing the embankment went smoothly. In less than ten minutes, everyone dug a large hole in the middle of the dam. Not long after everyone returned to the village safely, the water from the Donla River flowed into Shuangshui Village.
The two water pumps were running at full power, and tons of river water were poured into the dry farmland. The villagers were dancing happily.
Wang Lidong and his friend Tian Fugao said, "Let's go and take a look at the dam in our village. The water coming down from the river is a bit strong."
Tian Fugao said with a smile, "The dike in our village is more than twice as thick as the dike in Guanguan Village, so there will definitely be no problem."
Wang Lidong said, "It's our turn to worry now. Several villages downstream will definitely look for opportunities to tear up our village's embankment."
Tian Fugao thought it was reasonable and forgot about it. He hurriedly found Tian Futang and expressed his concerns. Tian Futang immediately summoned a militia company and rushed to the embankment to patrol 24 hours a day to prevent his own embankment from being damaged by people from several villages downstream.
.
"Secretary, do you want to bring a gun?!"
Tian Futang thought for a moment and waved his hand to reject it. If it continues to not rain, several villages downstream will definitely come to dig up the embankment. There will definitely be conflicts when the embankment is dumped. If they carry guns, someone will die if they are not careful, and the matter will be big.
Already.
Tian Futang personally led a group of militiamen and rushed to the embankment. Wang Lidong and Tian Fugao also followed them and arrived at the embankment. When they heard a rustling sound in the grass near the river not far away, he shouted and asked
Said, "Who's there?"
Several clusters of flashlight lights gathered together, "I am Junbin." A male voice sounded. Jin Junwu heard the voice of his third brother and walked forward and said, "Junbin, why are you hiding in the grass?"
"Second brother, my stomach feels uncomfortable, so I just need to find a place to relax."
Hahaha!
It caused everyone to laugh.
Jin Junwu shook his head.
Wang Lidong walked back and forth on the embankment and found that there was no problem, so he returned to the village.
In the next few days, Shuangshui Village was extremely lively. The village upstream that had its dyke removed wanted an explanation from Shuangshui Village. Several villages downstream took turns going to Shuangshui Village in the middle of the night to try to remove the dyke in the river, so there were several armed fights.
More than a dozen people were injured in Shuangshui Village.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing the smell of gunpowder getting stronger and stronger, suddenly there was an explosion in the sky, and God finally remembered that it was raining.
As the heavy rain poured down, Shuangshui Village became quiet
At the end of June, Chengguan Town Primary School
The annual summer vacation is here. Tian Runye is packing his luggage in the dormitory. Du Lili is helping him, "Your brother Shao'an, why haven't you arrived yet? It's almost 2 o'clock. If you ask me, I'll leave these things for you."
It’s so convenient to be at Second Dad’s house. Wasn’t it like this in previous years?”
Tian Runye tied up the quilt and said, "I have slept on this quilt for several years and it is a little hard. I want to take it home and play it again."
Ever since she got engaged to Brother Shaoan, her second mother would show her off when she saw her. She was not a tolerant maniac, so she had been to her second father's house once in the past two months.
"Run Ye." The second mother's voice sounded outside the door. Run Ye thought she heard wrongly, turned to look at the door, and found that it was really the second mother Xu Aiyun, "Second mother, why are you here?"
Xu Aiyun walked into the room and said with a smile, "I heard that your school is on vacation. You have so many things that I can't carry alone. I'll come over and help."
Run Ye hurriedly asked the second mother to sit down, and then helped pour a cup of hot tea, "Thank you, second mother. But I have already made an agreement with Brother Shaoan, and he will come over later to help me move my things."
Xu Aiyun said, "My home is so close. It's just a matter of a few steps. It's too troublesome for Shaoan to run so far."
Runye smiled and said, "This time I plan to take the quilts and luggage back to Shuangshui Village."
Xu Aiyun's expression froze, but then returned to normal. When asked the reason, Run Ye gave her the excuse just now.
Xu Aiyun took a sip of tea and said, "Besides coming over to help you move today, there is something else I want to tell you?"
Runye said, "What's the matter?"
Xu Aiyun smiled and said, "At the beginning of September, Teacher Huang Yuan's advanced training class started, and your Aunt Li helped you get a place."
