"Let's go, Guangqi, go to Di Nong Tan to watch the conference, it's really lively."
It was another weekend. Liu Guangqi had just gotten up and cleaned himself up when Xu Damao's voice came from the window.
"You go ahead. I've been watching it for several days. It's not interesting. I'm going to go back to the countryside."
Liu Guangqi walked to the door, stretched out, and declined Xu Damao's invitation. The past two days at the old BJ were very lively, and gunshots could be heard every day.
On the first day of the conference, Di Nong Tan was bustling with activity, with red flags waving and huge crowds of people, one on the left and one on the right. In his two lifetimes, Liu Guangqi had never seen such a large-scale gathering except for the military parade. He finally squeezed to the front. As soon as he stood still, he heard two gunshots. Then Liu Guangqi saw two blood flowers blooming on a person who looked like Zhao Ruilong. In front of the criminal.
Although as a doctor, Liu Guangqi had seen many anatomy teachers and had seen many patients die in front of him, this was the first time Liu Guangqi had seen such a thing as killing someone on the street.
For a moment, Liu Guangqi felt a little tight in his chest, and there were spasms in his stomach. Liu Guangqi resisted vomiting.
Compared with Liu Guangqi who almost made a fool of himself, the people around him seemed to be used to this kind of scene. Not only did they not feel any discomfort, but they were extremely excited, cheering and shouting every time someone was shot.
Liu Guangqi listened for a while and found that everyone who was shot deserved it. They had committed crimes in the old BJ all year round, and even raped women. The crimes were countless. One of the dung tyrants really opened Liu Guangqi's eyes. It turns out that collecting dung can also be a hugely profitable industry, and he can buy hundreds of houses. No wonder people hate these people so much.
But it's enough to see this kind of thing once or twice. It's refreshing to see it too much, but it's not interesting.
Liu Guangqi plans to do something else today. Seeing that it was already June, it was time for Xia to receive the goods. Liu Guangqi had not forgotten what he said during the Chinese New Year. He was going to go back to see Liu Haizhu and see if Liu Haisheng was ready.
In order to completely replicate the experience of farmers in SX Province, Liu Guangqi asked his uncle and third uncle to pile up 20,000 kilograms of pen manure and four thousand kilograms of gray manure in advance.
According to experience, one acre of land needs to be fertilized four times, and a total of 80 kilograms of fertilizer is needed. Two acres of land requires 160 kilograms. For this reason, I bought 200 kilograms of fertilizer in the city to take back. These fertilizers alone cost Liu Guangqi 100,000 yuan (about 10 yuan in 1966).
Riding Baimei's bicycle and carrying more than 100 kilograms of fertilizer, Liu Guangqi embarked on the road to the countryside. After leaving the city gate, Liu Guangqi put the fertilizer into a space and put it in a covert bag. You have to learn to be lazy when you should be lazy. People can't be too realistic.
Unlike the people in the city who are busy holding meetings, these farmers outside the city have no mind to care about that at the moment. Nothing is as important as harvesting wheat.
Wheat is no different than other crops. If the wheat turns yellow for a while, it means that the wheat may not be ripe enough in the morning, but if a hot wind blows at noon, it may be ripe.
Therefore, harvesting of wheat at this time starts when the wheat is nine ripe. If you really wait until it is very ripe to harvest the wheat, it will all fall to the ground. This is called a wheat harvest that is nine times ripe and ten percent lost if it is not harvested.
"Have you finished collecting it, brother?"
When Liu Guangqi returned to the village entrance, he happened to meet Liu Guangxiao who was pulling a cart back from the fields. As early as a few days before the autumn harvest, the pharmacy gave these workers in rural areas a holiday so that they could go home and harvest crops.
"It's done. This is the last car. Why are you back?"
Liu Guangxiao wiped the sweat with the towel on his neck, and then started banging on the gourd filled with water.
"I sent back the fertilizer and seeds, and stopped by to see how uncle and the others were preparing."
"Don't worry. As you said, my dad caught a lot of earthworms and put them in. When I came back two days ago, I saw that the fertilizer was already ripe."
Liu Guangxiao replied while pulling the cart.
"That's fine."
Liu Guangqi pushed the cart and followed Liu Guangxiao to the wheat pressing field in the village. At this time, Liu Guangqi's uncle and three uncles were busy at the field. Because the Liu family did not have donkeys or mules, if they wanted to thresh the wheat, they had to be pulled by people. Using the mill, press the wheat back and forth until the threshing is almost complete, then use a wooden fork to lift the wheat stalks to one side, then sweep the wheat into one piece, and let the wind blow away the wheat husks. After raising the wheat several times, it is basically finished when the wheat is packed. The whole process basically takes a day or two.
Liu Guangqi suddenly fell into the meeting when he saw the scene in front of him. The last time he saw such a scene was when he was a child in his previous life. He was only five years old at the time, and he had seen it when he followed his mother to visit his grandma's house. He had not seen this scene in almost thirty years.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm so hot."
Just as Liu Guangqi was thinking about it, Liu Guangxiao suddenly came over. Seeing Liu Guangqi in a daze, he quickly gave Liu Guangqi a few blows with a fan.
"It's okay, uncle, please rest for a while, I'll pull you back."
Liu Guangqi saw that his uncle was sweating profusely and pulling a wooden roller with a diameter of fifty centimeters. He was so tired that he could not walk steadily. He quickly walked over, took the rope from his hand and worked for him for a while. Liu Guangxiao also took another rope from Liu Haisheng's hand, and the two brothers pulled the wooden roller together and started spinning around their home field.
"It's okay, it's just hot. Grandma, I don't know what's wrong with this day this year. It's so hot. I just want to heat people to death."
Liu Haizhu wiped his sweat and sat on the sidelines on the tree stump, taking a gulp of water.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? Just take your time. If you get heat stroke again, you'll be in trouble."
Liu Guangqi pulled the wooden roller and walked slowly on the wheat stalks. If he walked too fast, he might slip somewhere.
"We can't rush it. We have to use this land for other people's homes. Even if the weather is so good, God might give you some rain one day, and then the hard work of the past six months will be in vain."
"oh"
Only then did Liu Guangqi think of the words "worry about the wheat harvest, the wind and the rain."
"Okay, stop doing it. No matter how tired you are, you haven't done this job since you were a kid."
After pulling for a while, Liu Haizhu was almost rested. He stood up and took Liu Guangqi's body back. Liu Guangqi didn't hold on hard. People who have never done farm work can't understand the pain Liu Guangqi felt at this time. The thin rope was tightening. The pain on his shoulder was so intense that Liu Guangqi felt that his shoulder was about to bleed.
"Hey, sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Liu Guangqi, who was replaced, heard his third aunt's shout before he could look at his shoulder. Liu Guangqi followed the sound and found that his aunt had fallen to the ground.
"mother"
"old woman"
Liu Guangxiao and Liu Haizhu, who were busy, stopped doing their work when they saw this. They threw the rope and ran over. Liu Guangqi also ran over after seeing this.
"Guangqi, please take a look quickly. What's wrong with my mother?"
After all, Liu Guangxiao was still a young man who had just grown up. Looking at his mother with her eyes closed tightly in his arms, his face turned pale with fright. When he saw Liu Guangqi, he immediately seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly called Liu Guangqi forward.
"It's heatstroke. Brother, go get some cold water. Third aunt, please quickly get a towel and wipe it with me. I'll go get some medicine from my bag."
With that, Liu Guangqi ran back to his bicycle and took out a bag of Huoxiang Zhengqi water from his bag. Then he took out his own canning bottle and walked back. This bottle contained light salt water to replenish electrolytes.
After drinking water first and then feeding the medicine, Liu Guangqi put his aunt in a side-lying position after throwing the bag into the space. He fanned her while wiping her with a cold water towel to cool down. After this operation, her aunt finally recovered.
Not only Liu Guangxiao and his son were relieved to see the aunt wake up, but Liu Guangqi was also relieved. Fortunately, it was only a mild heat stroke. If it was heat stroke, Liu Guangqi could not guarantee that he could survive under the current conditions. You cannot bring people back from the Palace of Hell.
"When you work in the future, be careful. Take a break when you are tired. Don't hold on too hard. Otherwise, it will hurt your body and you will lose more than you gain. Also, don't just drink fresh water. Put some salt in the water."
After seeing that his aunt was fine, Liu Guangqi told everyone about the knowledge of preventing heatstroke.
"Wouldn't it make you thirstier if you put salt in it?"
Liu Guangxiao shouted after hearing this.
"Then you won't put in less salt. This is not cooking. After doing so much work and sweating so much, how can we not supplement some salt? Oh, you don't need to understand, just do as I say. One gourd Two pinches of salt in the water is enough. Remember to drink cool boiled water instead of raw water, and...
