The next day, Zheng Bajin got up early. When he arrived at the pig farm, Tang Zhengwen had already gotten up, prepared the carriage, and was waiting for Zheng Bajin to take him to Haizi to pull vegetables.
Zhang Xiaoyang also got up, looked at Zheng Bajin, and whispered: "This guy's feet are so sweaty that I couldn't sleep all night. If we squeeze together every day, I can't believe that he can survive this year." .”
Zheng Bajin suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, prepare a bed for him another day, and let each sleep in his own bed."
Only then did Zhang Xiaoyang smile with satisfaction.
Zheng Bajin looked at Tang Zhengwen who was loading food in a straw cup. He thought of Tang Zhengwen secretly looking at Zhang Xiao'e during dinner last night, and quietly said to him, this is the woman of his old father-in-law, so don't make random decisions.
Tang Zhengwen immediately calmed down, with an envious look on his face. At the same time, he also believed Zheng Bajin's words even more, and he must follow Zheng Bajin well.
For years after a man like Jian An, who was older than him, was able to marry such a sexy and young woman, there was nothing Zheng Bajin couldn't do.
If you want to introduce a woman to him, isn't that a matter of minutes?
His determination to work hard with Zheng Bajing became even stronger, as if happiness was not far away from him, perhaps in Shili Village.
Zheng Bajin did not drive the tractor again, but took a carriage to Haizi.
The two of them first arrived at Xi Shunjin's potato field. They saw that the cabbage in the field was growing well, and the seedlings they planted first were already five inches long. Zheng Bajin was overjoyed.
At this time, Xi Shunjin was pulling out a few cabbages and taking them in his hand. When he saw that Zheng Bajin was among the people getting off the carriage, he couldn't help but waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "I just pulled a few cabbages back and cooked them." Give it to my mother."
"It's okay, you can eat it too. This is the fruit of your labor, as long as you don't sell it to others behind my back." Zheng Bajin smiled lightly and thought to himself, as long as it is ripe in large quantities, I am afraid that you will eat it, but I am afraid that you will not be able to eat it. rise.
After hearing this, Xi Shunjin hurriedly said: "How could that be?"
Zheng Bajin knew that he was not that kind of person, but he still said the ugly things first and said, "That's good. By the way, this is Old Tang, and he will be responsible for pulling cabbage from now on."
"Hello, just call me Tang Zhengwen." Tang Zhengwen didn't dare to be called "Old Tang" because Xi Shunjin was older than him.
"Hello, my name is Xi Shunjin." Although he was not used to the polite greetings of hello, me, and everyone, Xi Shunjin still squeezed out such words through his teeth.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said: "Okay, from now on we are all on our own and help each other. By the way, the grass in the field will not be pulled out. When the cabbage is mature, we will pull it up and load it into the car." "
Xi Shunjin nodded and said: "Okay, boss, I remember it. If nothing happens, I will come and watch. No one will come in to pull weeds."
"Okay, then you get busy first, we still have to go to Xi Shunhai's house."
"Does the boss still want to pull his vegetables? I'm fine now. Can I help you pull vegetables?"
"Okay." Zheng Bajin nodded, and the three of them came out of the field and walked towards the carriage together.
Xi Shunhai was working in the field in front of his house. He spread vegetable seeds on the empty field and turned over it again.
Seeing Zheng Bajin coming with someone, he stopped what he was doing, walked over to greet him, and said, "Boss Zheng, are you here?"
Zheng Bajin nodded and said, "This is Tang Zhengwen. From now on, he will be responsible for coming to you for food."
The two nodded to each other, indicating that they knew each other.
Zheng Bajin took a look at the vegetable patch he had planted and said, "As I said, we will plant more on the roadside in the future to save the labor of getting in and out of the car?"
"It's okay, boss. It's not far from the highway. Next time, as long as I know when you want it, I'll pick it up by the roadside in advance." Xi Shunhai said, "The main reason is that it's convenient to take care of the children and mother here. It's not far away." So reassuring.”
Zheng Bajin thought for a while and said: "In that case, don't force it. I took a look. When you have free time, you can dig under the road. There are several steps there, and you can repair a hairy road without even a single step of work. When the road comes, the carriage can drive down directly."
Zheng Laohai's eyes lit up and he nodded.
It wasn't that he didn't know, but he had always lived in a place without roads and had never thought about building roads. After Zheng Bajin reminded him, he immediately understood.
Zheng Bajin and Tang Zhengwen started picking vegetables, and Xi Shunhai was responsible for picking them up.
This vegetable could have been chopped with a knife, but due to the shortage, Zheng Bajin suggested uprooting it, removing the soil, and finely beating it for the pigs to eat.
Xi Shunhai was moved a lot, thinking that Zheng Bajin had a too good heart, and that he was pitying him because his worthless roots also followed him.
Even though Zheng Bajin insisted on removing the skin, he quickly loaded up a carriage, which originally contained about one thousand catties. Xi Shunhai only wanted 40 yuan, which was eight hundred catties.
Zheng Bajin paid Xi Shunjin one yuan for labor.
He didn't want it at first, saying it was just a small favor and a favor.
Zheng Bajin forced it into his hand and said that if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't call him next time.
Afterwards, Tang Zhengwen praised that the people here were so simple, but they were just a little poor!
We are not afraid of being poor. What we are afraid of is not wanting to contribute, not wanting to make progress, and being content with the status quo.
With this thought in mind, Zheng Bajin sat on the carriage shaft and followed Tang Zhengwen back to the village.
This time, Xi Shunhai's daughter was not seen because she was in class. He didn't see his wife either, which was a little strange.
At this time, Zheng Bajin remembered whether something had happened to his wife and said to Tang Zhengwen: "Xi Shunjin has an old mother, Xi Shunhai has a seriously ill wife, and a daughter who is in middle school. The family situation is really bad, remember, the next time you come here, take something from the canteen and give it to these two families."
Tang Zhengwen nodded and said: "The boss is a good person. Unlike those people in the city who think they are rich, they are actually very picky."
Zheng Bajin laughed loudly after hearing this: "Although I don't have money, at least I have a conscience."
What I was thinking was that the things in the canteen were not worth much money at all, they just represented a feeling.
However, for people living in the mountainous area of Haizi Village, they will always remember and be grateful for a lifetime.
Just like in later generations, some city people walked into a farmhouse with two boxes of milk that was about to expire. They would take out the best meat in the house and cook it for them to eat, and they would be asked to take a piece with them afterward.
The meat is authentic raw pork, which is impossible to buy in the city. It's worth far more than those two cartons of milk.
In fact, it is not made of milk.
When we arrived at the pig farm, it was already half past one when we unloaded the vegetables with the help of Zhang Xiaoyang and Wang Chaosheng.
Zheng Bajin took Tang Zhengwen to his home for a simple meal. Tang Zhengwen left the village and was going to spend the night at home and collect the water tomorrow.
Zheng Bajin didn't leave him alone, knowing that this dish would last for several days, so he had to cover the second batch of pig pens as soon as possible.
