Chapter 109
The actions of these people made her wonder if she should help them through difficult times in the future? Are these people worth what she pays for them?
Li Xiaoyu laughed at himself, thinking so much for what! When the sky falls, there is naturally a tall person on it, and it is never her turn to be a child to worry about these big things.
After harvesting the red acanthus, there is no way to grow wheat in these sandy fields, only some seasonal vegetables can be planted.
In winter in the southwest, because it is not too cold, winter vegetables can be grown in the open air.
It is different from the north. In the southwest, there are fresh vegetables all year round, but in the north, it is not possible in winter.
It is late October, so you can grow cabbage, radish, and cabbage.
Accounting Li arranged for people to plant these three kinds of vegetables on the land by the river.
Sow the seeds and cover them with a thin layer of grass ash. Similarly, because there is no strong labor, they cannot irrigate water. I just hope that God will rain two times after planting.
This time, God seemed to have heard the affectionate call from the villagers to him. The light rain fell for two days, just pouring over the ground.
This rain has saved the villagers a big deal, and they were blessed by God after being lazy. This luck is no longer available to anyone, and the old people in the village are relieved.
Li Xiaoyu heard some news one after another, some news brought back by the old man, the ‘earth blast furnace’ in Eagle Mountain has not progressed so far, and some people have already gone to the town to learn from them, how did they make steel!
What does this so-called steel look like in their eyes? It is the iron lumps formed after the iron melts into molten iron and flows out. In their eyes, it is the so-called steel.
The “earth blast furnace” burns continuously every day, and the fuel is in a hurry. If it is not replenished in time, it will go out.
How could the commune cadres just watch the ‘earth blast furnace’ go out, and the results are about to come out. Maybe steel will be produced in the next minute, and then they can apply for coal for use.
Couldn’t find ready-made fuel, so I hit some old houses.
It is said to be an old house, but it is not. The old house here refers to the house of the rich family in the past, and now no one lives in it.
The buildings in are mostly made of wood. If these houses can be dismantled, they will definitely last for a period of time.
There is a house in Baisha Village, mainly wooden structure, covering an area of ten acres, with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions.
This was built by a high-ranking official in the provincial capital at that time for the old man in the family. After the old man died, the place was empty.
After liberation, the high official went to the island, and the house was vacant.
I heard that this house is haunted. Someone who did not believe in evil once went in, but he died the night he returned home.
Later, it became more and more evil, and no one dared to enter it since then.
Now it has been dismantled and used as fuel, which is indeed a bit of a waste. After Li Xiaoyu heard about this, she really wanted to explore, hoping to pick up some leaks.
Li’s father heard that she was going to Baisha Village, but he did not agree at that time.
“Little Yu’er, no, that house is so yin and qi, you can’t go there as a child.”
“Old man, I want to go have a look, just take a look.”
“Do you believe what you say? I’m not at ease if you go alone. I’ll go with you when I’m free.”
“Old man, you want to go too, hehe!”
Father and daughter happily decided that Father Li would take her to Baisha Village on the next day off.
Baisha Village is five miles away from the commune. The commune is located in the middle of Baisha Village and Bamboo Forest.
There is a ten-mile road from Banzhulin to Baisha Village. Li Xiaoyu has never been to Baisha Village and is not familiar with the terrain there.
There is an old man to go with, and a familiar person leads the way.
The fuel is temporarily solved, but this is not a long-term solution. Every village has cut down trees that can be cut down in the village, and there is really no way but to let the villagers collect.
So some old houses suffered, as long as they were made of wood.
Some people even took down the door of their home and used it to support the “earth blast furnace”.
Now the busy work of the Bamboo Forest is over, children do not have to go to work, and those who want to go can get four work points a day.
The work points given this time are more than those given by the team, but less than those given when the captain is not at home.
Now there is no need for the whole village to be dispatched, Li Xiaoyu doesn’t want to go to work, and there is nothing to do when he goes to work. He is all working in foreign countries, and the picture is for a day’s work.
Now I eat in a large cafeteria, and work points really don’t play a role, and I don’t pay much attention to it.
Li Xiaoyu chose a time when Father Li was not on duty and went to the hospital with him.
Fewer people go to the hospital to see a doctor now, because most of them support the construction of the “Tube Blast Furnace”, and if there is any injury or illness, they can see it for free at the scene.
The father and daughter stayed in the hospital all morning, but no patient came to see the doctor.
Lunch is eaten in the canteen of the commune. The food in the canteen of the commune pays attention to the combination of meat and vegetables.
Three meat and two vegetables, one soup, the dishes are more colorful and fragrant than those in the team, which makes people want to eat them.
I heard the old man say that the person in charge was invited from a restaurant or someone he knew.
I know it, and I got it from a restaurant. It must be Chef Huang, because his home is Huangjiaba Village behind the commune.
Such a good dish can be eaten for free, which makes Li Xiaoyu very happy. If you eat it, you earn it.
She chose her favorite braised pork ribs, filled a large bowl, and then went to give the old man a bowl of mixed white meat and a bowl of vegetarian dishes.
Li’s father brought two bowls of rice, and when he saw the three bowls of vegetables on the table, he couldn’t help but have a headache.
“Little Yu’er, can you eat so much? Don’t waste it!”
“Old man, aren’t you here?”
“Then I’ll throw back some of the rice. There are too many dishes, and I’ll waste them if I can’t finish them.”
While eating, Li Xiaoyu did not forget to observe the people in the canteen of the commune.
The people who eat here are mainly the cadres of the commune, as well as the nearby health center.
In the newly opened supply and marketing cooperative in the commune, two employees also ate here, so there were not many people eating, and there was only one child who ate there, Li Xiaoyu.
Maybe it’s because everyone is an adult and a person with a bit of identity.
Eating images is still relatively gentle, and there is no phenomenon of throwing things anywhere.
But are there any clean bones on the table and discarded fat meat? Are you starting to dislike fat meat now?
There are still many cases of pouring food into the swill bucket. Eighty percent of the people who can’t finish the food in the bowl all pour it into the swill bucket.
There are two buckets full of white rice!
When Chef Huang came out of the back kitchen, Li Xiaoyu and his daughter were left in the canteen. He walked over with a bowl and sat beside him.
“Doctor Li, how does it taste?”
“Chef Huang’s craftsmanship is getting better and better. You see, my little daughter ate a big bowl of pork ribs. She rarely eats so much.”
“Uncle Huang, your cooking is delicious!”
“If it’s delicious, come here often.”
Chef Huang’s generous words made Li Xiaoyu smile and narrow her eyes, nodding her head in agreement.
“Come, definitely come!”
When I was a child, the old man went to the doctor and liked to follow him to the patient’s house and had candy eggs to eat. Once someone put too much saccharin, I said to the old man: “Old man, it’s sweet and bitter.” The old man told me to eat it quickly, don’t say it, let people hear it badly, and I won’t go since then. .
