Chapter 8
The rush to harvest, and the rush to plant, one season of busy farming, it took more than ten days to pass.
In ten days, Nanyi got at least twelve work points, and at most twenty work points that day.
That was the day when the grain station came to pick the millet. Nanyi picked three times more than others. He got 20 work points. As long as the red heart was not sprayed black with black dog blood, he would definitely be ashamed to jump out and vote against it.
At least there is no such person in Wenchangwei.
In ten days, Nanyi also got a complete picture of the situation of the brigade. Fortunately, I got a few shy peeps from the brigade of young married women, and I also saw Xian Yaodong doing something that couldn't be put on the table.
The time has entered the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the work in the fields is no longer busy, and Nanyi can't get twelve work points. He works in the fields every day to fertilize and weed, and is given eight work points a day according to the standard of women.
Weeding and fertilizing are relatively easy, but the fertilizer is artificial fertilizer, which is collected from the brigade of cow dung, plus the fertilizer retting in the manure tank.
In this way, it is not enough, and I have to go to the commune, or even go to the county to grab fertilizer.
Nanyi followed a few strong boys from the brigade, carrying urine buckets, and took a boat to the commune. As soon as I arrived at the septic tank of the commune, I saw people from other brigades scooping up manure water there.
"The shovelers, who told you to come, don't you know it's our turn to scoop up manure in Wenchang this year?"
The one who spoke was Xian Weimin, the son of Vice Captain Xian Yaohua, who was also a good hand at farm work, and he was very tough. He usually led the team when Wenchangwei needed to compete with the foreign brigade for everything, and this time was no exception.
"What's wrong with me, can you still eat me?"
The kid on the opposite side was so arrogant that he dared to speak provocatively.
"I'll say it again, it's Wenchangwei's turn this year, so hurry up and dump the dung back for me." Xian Weimin said again.
"How? What are you doing?"
"Fuck!"
Xian Weimin gave an order, and all the strong men in Wenchangwei put down the burden of the urine bucket and took out the excrement spoons from the bucket.
Xian Weimin took the lead, followed by Nanyi, playing a "spoon" flower with the dung spoon, hoo hoo hoo, and greeted each other's head.
The dung spoon is not too hard, so take it easy, it won't cause any trouble at all.
It’s just that Nan Yi compares to his grandson. He didn’t smash it, but picked it with a gun. The dung spoon got into the opponent’s armpit, and with a strong hand, he picked the person into the septic tank.
One, two... three... three, four, five... five five five, five can't go down.
Four of them were overthrown by Nanyi, and the opponent was already persuaded.
"Pu You, Xian Weimin, you actually asked for foreign aid."
"Pujie, Nanyi is an educated youth from Wenchangwei, and he will soon settle down with us, no foreign aid. That's enough, you lose, leave quickly, we are still in a hurry to scoop up dung."
"Okay, the green mountain will not change..."
"Change your appearance, you have watched too many movies, you."
Very bachelor, the opponent will withdraw after losing, not procrastinating at all.
There is no need to worry about the opponent's ordering all the men and horses and then killing them back. At this time, in the countryside, fighting for water, land, and dung will inevitably lead to a fight.
But at that time, it was over when it was done, and there was no need to pay for it.
If you feel unhappy, come back to fight again next year.
"Nanyi, not bad, look at you, have you practiced?"
Xian Weimin patted Nanyi on the shoulder and gave him a piece of Guangxi.
Nan Yi took the cigarette and said with a smile: "I have practiced the crop handle style for a few days, and there are no tricks, so I can only fool around."
"You boy." Xian Weimin ordered Nanyi, and said to the others: "Okay, hurry up and scoop up the dung."
Fighting for dung is just a silhouette of Nanyi's rural life.
Life in Wenchangwei does not have much poetic charm. The beauty of the countryside is likely to be discovered only by city dwellers who come to visit.
Work at six o'clock, until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, mosquitoes bite, leeches suck blood, rice ears are cut by hands, shoulders are carried by hands, obviously grow rapeseed by oneself, but can't eat a few taels of oil all year round, make new clothes, and have no cloth tickets , You have to borrow the whole team.
Who dares to say that such a day is beautiful?
Probably, maybe, maybe, Nan Yi dared to say that.
After more than ten days of mending, Liu Zhen's complexion has become rosy, and flesh can be clearly seen on her face and hands; the split ends of her hair have also become less obvious, and she is moving forward from withered yellow to bright black.
The keen Nanyi also found that the little girl's height grew by a centimeter, as if she had been stuffed into a dog hole and pulled out.
If the nutrition keeps up, the little girl's development will also keep up.
For Nanyi, working is not tiring, and eating and drinking are not worrying. After nightfall, he will go to the fields to take care of frogs, and go down the river to touch fish to improve his food.
No, Nanyi carried two big fat fish, a frog in a net, and a bottle of Moutai hidden in the sheepskin bag, and walked towards Xian Yaodong's house humming a song.
"Nanyi, you boy, here you go again, haha, what a fat fish."
Nan Yi and Xian Yaodong have gradually become acquainted with each other, and they will not be too taboo when speaking.
"Fat? We'll kill it today, and there's still a bottle of Feitian." Nanyi shook the sheepskin pouch in his hand.
"Okay, just wait and see my handicraft."
Xian Yaodong quickly packed up the two fish, and ordered a few more appetizers.
After the two of them had a drink, the conversation started.
"Nanyi, the day I first came here, you said you would give me a chance. Now that we are familiar with each other, shouldn't you talk about it?"
Taking advantage of the wine, Xian Yaodong said what he had been holding back for a long time.
"Uncle Xian, after my observations during this period, do you often exchange straw and fragrant horses for fertilizer?"
"Yeah, now that you know it, I won't hide it from you. The horses in their Jockey Club like to eat our straw very much. Who made our rice fertilize with artificial fertilizers. A boatload of straw can be exchanged for a boatload of chemical fertilizers." .
However, I can tell you that I am not doing it for myself, but for the benefit of the members. "
"Of course I know that Uncle Xian is upright and selfless." Nan Yi gave a thumbs up, and then changed the topic, "But, Uncle Xian, this kind of work is not going to be done in the future. There is no airtight wall in the world. This kind of thing will be known to the commune sooner or later.
At that time, you may be in trouble. "
"Of course I understand, and I'm about to stop. It just so happens that a lot of people have been running there recently, and the wind is getting tighter. But today's urea is better than our domestically produced urea."
"No matter how easy it is to use, it can't be done anymore. Let's rest."
"Forget it, let's not mention this, you should talk about your opportunity." Xian Yaodong waved his hand and said.
"The opportunity I mentioned is there." Nanyi pointed in the direction of Shenfeng Bay.
"Shenfeng Bay?" Xian Yaodong opened his eyes and said, "You won't say you're helping someone there?"
"How is it possible? I know that someone in Wenchangwei is doing this job. How dare I, an outsider, make such an idea."
"Besides crossing the sea, is there any other place to get money in Shenfeng Bay?"
"Uncle Xian, you have lived here for decades, you don't know how many people have swam here, right? How many people have succeeded, and how many people have sunk in it?
Where those unjust dead ghosts sink, you will not be lost in your mind.
You said you want to swim there, how many of you don't have any valuables on you?
Whether it is gold, antiques, US dollars, British pounds, or Hong Kong dollars, how can it be possible not to take waterproof measures?
What a fortune, you say, if we can fish them up? "
"Don't tell me, the water in this deep bay is not deep, and the water in the inner bay is only about two meters. Even the center point is not that deep. If you have good water quality, you can definitely swim to the bottom. However, ordinary water quality is also suitable for swimming. Don't turn around."
"Uncle Xian, to tell you the truth, I have practiced kung fu, and my water skills are not bad. As long as you find a way to get a set of diving equipment, I will definitely be able to fish it out."
"really?"
"It's truer than pearls."
"How?"
"I know that you have acquaintances in Xiangtang, and you have a channel to make a move. You must give others the benefits that should be given to others. When we have the money in our hands, we will split it fifty-five. But..."
"But what?" Xian Yaodong asked quickly.
"I want Uncle Xian to help me."
"What's busy? It's still a matter of settlement? If it's this, don't talk about it. It's not a big deal. No one has any objections to your settlement now."
"No, I want to get a homestead, preferably bigger. I'm going to build three big tile-roofed houses, and I'm getting the front and back yards."
"Hey, that's all. It's not a big deal. The homestead belongs to the brigade. Whoever wants to build a house can pay the brigade a piece of land. Just say what you want and which one you want. I'll ask Jimin to do the math, and you can just hand in how much you should pay.
It's just that it takes some time to build a house. If you are not afraid of the old, there is an empty house in the brigade. It is very big, but the price is definitely not cheap. "
When Xian Yaodong said this, Nan Yi immediately realized which house he was talking about. It is estimated that it is the house of a big landlord in Wenchangwei, which is close to Shenfeng Bay.
The landlord's surname is Liu, and he has long been extinct. As for whether there are any descendants overseas, this Nanyi has not found out.
"Uncle Xian, you are talking about Landlord Liu's house, right?"
"Yes, that's the one. It's been there for almost thirty years. If you're not afraid that it's not clean inside, I can sell it to you."
"Really, other members won't have any objections?"
"No, let's put it this way, the death of Landlord Liu's family is inseparable from the old people in Wenchangwei. No one has the courage to live there. Do you understand?"
"Understood, no one has hanged himself inside, right?"
"I'm pretty sure not."
"What price are you going to sell?"
"Two thousand, the price is dead, there is no room for negotiation."
"Sure, it's easy to talk about Qian. You take me to see the house first. If there is no problem, I will make a decision."
"That's fine. I'll accompany you to see it after we've finished drinking. Let me tell you, I haven't been in that house for more than ten years. With you, a strong young man, I just go to see it again."
