Zhong Yuemin was practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was extremely agile. He rushed out of the dung circle in a flash, but he could not avoid the physical attack and could not avoid the impact of the smell.
This time, he was also blinded by stars. He was caught off guard. He was really caught off guard. He couldn't bear this loss, so he naturally wanted to take revenge.
Jiang Hua inserted the shovel into the dung pile again and said while working: "Okay, don't make trouble. This thing is not a toy. It looks disgusting and smells bad. How can you do it? The whole village is counting on these things to increase crops." Fertility is related to your job, so don’t be ridiculous.”
Girls naturally love to be clean since they were young. The sight of this pile of dung made people feel sick. The three girls were all a little disgusted. But Jiang Hua was right. This was for the sake of future food rations, so he gritted his teeth and took the tools. Start working.
Secretary Chang was right. This was indeed a good job. It was not like weeding in the fields, where you had to bend your waist into a bow shape and stare at the scorching sun.
In fact, ten people were definitely too many to transport fertilizer. Once such fertilizer was delivered to the fields, Jiang Hua did not go back. Instead, he humbly asked the people working in the fields for advice on how to farm.
Party Secretary Chang likes his attitude very much. No one dislikes such a studious person. Although Ishikawa Village does not have much land, it is gratifying to have many good crops.
Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong, and Jiang Biyun are also people who have pursuits, so they will not avoid work, so they follow suit and work in the fields, weeding and fertilizing.
"Jiang Biyun, if you are tired, take a rest. Look at Zheng Tong, he is not as tough as you. Zhong Yuemin and I have been practicing martial arts since we were young. You can't compare."
Jiang Hua saw Jiang Biyun tapping her lower back after hoeing twice, but he glanced at Jiang Hua and Zhong Yuemin who were still active. He was obviously unconvinced and wanted to be the first.
Jiang Biyun turned to look at Zheng Tong. This kid was squatting on the ground holding the hoe handle, with a towel on his head to block the sun. He was looking at Jiang Biyun with a smile. It was this smile that made Jiang Biyun feel particularly vulgar and annoying.
"Yes, girl, if you are tired, just take a rest. You are not in a hurry today."
No one from Jiang Hua, Zhong Yuemin or Zheng Tong tried to persuade her, and it was impossible for Jiang Biyun to stop and rest. However, the eldest sister of Ishikawa Village spoke up, and Jiang Biyun stopped what she was doing, wiped her sweat with a towel, opened the kettle and took a sip. .
Zheng Tong laughed and said: "That's right. You can't compete with those two animals after listening to others' advice. They lift stone locks and practice boxing and kicking in front of the sky. We are just ordinary people."
Two pieces of dirt accurately hit Zheng Tong on the head. He was a weakling but still wanted to slander others. He deserved to be beaten.
Zheng Tong angrily cursed: "Bah, what did you do? Is this a piece of garbage? It's obviously a ball of dung."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Who knows that your small body is not going to help? I'll just give you some fertilizer to give you a boost of growth, and I'm sure you can jump up."
Jiang Biyun laughed so hard that she had no strength to stand, and squatted down holding on to the handle of the hoe.
Zhong Yuemin picked up the shovel in his hand, shoveled a spoonful of dung and said, "Zheng Tong, why don't you give it a try, maybe it will work. When the time comes, you will grow to 1.9 meters tall, and no one will be allowed to look up to you."
A busy day left all seven of them paralyzed from exhaustion. Jiang Hua and Zhong Yuemin had been practicing martial arts, so their physiques could still withstand it. Everyone took care of Xiao Ningwei and did not let him exert any strength.
When I went back in the evening, Jiang Hua cooked the food, and Zhong Yuemin was good at it. The sticks were battered, and the stick noodles were added with steamed buns, two for each person. They were given out with pickles in a daze, and the day passed.
After dinner, the nine of us were not idle, wandering around Ishikawa Village, greeting fellow villagers from time to time, and chatting for a few dollars.
Not long after strolling around, the entire Ishikawa Village became quiet.
Why?
Isn't this obvious? There is no electricity, so even kerosene has to be used sparingly. It's pitch black at night. What else can you do if you don't go to bed and stretch your body? This is why there are so many children in the local area. At night, adults Apart from making children, men and women have no other entertainment.
Boys have more energy than girls. They are already under the covers, not sleeping yet, and they have to have a sleeping session.
Qian Zhiming said in an exaggerated tone: "I really don't know if I don't investigate. I thought people must be poor if they are poor, but I didn't expect that they were poor in a way I couldn't imagine."
Zhao Dayong echoed: "My family is poor. My mother knew that I was going to come to the countryside, and she was very happy to say that at least I could have a full stomach. When I saw it today, my heart dropped. The locals were all out of food. What's more? We students squeezed in."
Zheng Tong also said: "I was chatting with a glorious lonely old man. He only drank a bowl of glutinous rice at night, only one set of clothes for his whole body, and he didn't even have any decent furnishings at home."
Cao Yang suddenly shouted: "Hua Zi, why don't you speak? Tell us."
Jiang Hua was thinking about areas that could be improved. When he heard Cao Yang calling him, he said, "The reality is indeed not optimistic, but the potential is endless. Let's see if you are willing to use your brain."
Zhong Yuemin curled his lips under the quilt and said: "Why can't I see the potential? The whole village only has so much land, less than three acres per person, and there are more than a dozen families of orphaned elderly people who don't have enough to eat all year round. , I think it’s better to plan for future jobs as early as possible. I heard that when there is a shortage of food in this area, there is a habit of going out to beg for food. When the time comes, let’s change into ragged clothes and go begging for food. I have long wanted to try begging. Live."
After Zhong Yuemin said these words, he thought Jiang Hua would know to refute it, but he didn't expect Jiang Hua to say: "It's also a way."
"Brother, did I hear you right? You actually think this is a solution."
"It's a way. The rules passed down by the older generation have their own reasons."
Zhong Yuemin said angrily: "Hey, the sun will rise in the west tomorrow."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Zhong Yuemin, you said that you read so many books and worked hard to practice martial arts. In the end, you just went to beg for food when you were hungry. Why bother? Can't you just go and beg?"
Cao Yang said with a smile: "Hua Zi, you don't know this. I heard from the elders that in the past, people who begged for food were divided into territories. If they were not good at it, I'm afraid the Yue Min couldn't grab the good market, and they wouldn't be able to pay it back." Are you hungry?"
"Fuck you." Zhong Yuemin picked up the pillow and threw it at Cao Yang: "You're using me to hit the cymbals, right? I'm the man to poke him there. Who dares to mess with me?"
Zheng Tong suddenly stabbed him in the back: "It's so majestic, but in the end you still have to beg for food."
