Captain Li sighed deeply. If he knew this earlier, he should have stopped planting corn. Now he doesn’t even know where to find the seeds for next year.
“Shuangming, take someone to the ground and chop up all the glutinous rice. Don’t hurt the red glutinous rice. I will divide those things later.” The red glutinous rice has become the life-saving ration for the whole team. .
Captain Li led people to clean up the fields, and Li Shuangming led people to clean up the fields. At night, the villagers gathered in the storage room, waiting for the captain to sub-contract grain poles for them.
Li Shuangming said to the captain: “Captain, it’s definitely not possible to continue like this, doesn’t it mean that there are rebates! Go to the village chief and see if you can buy it.”
Re-sale grain is the grain that is re-sold to farmers, and the price is slightly higher than the public grain that farmers hand over to the collective.
“Shuangming, where did you hear that there are rebates, how come I have no news at all?” Captain Li asked in a low voice.
“I also overheard it, you have to ask the village chief or the president as soon as possible, if this goes on, people will die.”
“Okay, I’ll ask tomorrow.”
“Captain, the weather is so hot now, so let’s grow red glutinous rice in the fields. Only this kind of thing is the easiest to survive and the yield is high. Although it is a little late now, there will always be some harvest, as long as there is something that can fill the stomach.”
Li Xiaoyu’s family has a very limited number of baogu poles. Li Chengji can finish the job with one pick, and he doesn’t need Li Ma’s shot.
Back at home, Li Ma asked her eldest son to stack the corn stalks in the empty pig sty, and asked Li Xiaoyan to make dinner, and she went to clean up the buns on the corn stalks by herself.
Li Xiaoyu sat on the stone and watched Li Ma search for the baogu on the baogu pole. After looking through it, he found a baogu stick at the bottom of the basket, and they were all scorpions.
“Mom, don’t ask for this, it’s all Baoguxin, why should you eat it!”
Ma Li looked at the buns in the back basket and sighed: “Take off those buns and cook them in the rice. It’s a pity to throw them all away. Others eat the buns together.”
Li Xiaoyu had to follow his mother’s instructions, pick up half a bowl of tender buns and bring them into the kitchen to Li Xiaoyan.
“Sister, Mom said to cook this for dinner.”
While the whole village was cooking the buns, Li Xiaoyu’s family ate a meal of white rice with buns.
Rice, mixed with the aroma of buns, floated into the yard along the crack of the window.
Li Songtao sniffed the faint smell of rice in the air, all the way to the yard, facing the direction of Li Xiaoyu’s kitchen.
Li Xiaoyu, who was standing at the window constantly watching the situation outside, saw Li Songtao’s stance that he wanted to come to his house.
picked up the tongs next to the stove and waved at him. Li Chengji, who was burning the fire, saw that the tongs were taken away by the younger sister, and turned his head to look out the window.
waved his fist at the man. Li Songtao saw that Li Xiaoyu’s brothers and sisters had found him, and he didn’t dare to move forward. He just stood by his yard and sniffed the aroma of rice in the air.
He turned around and ran into his kitchen “Mom, I want to eat rice, you make it for me.”
“Rice, we don’t have any at home. Come and make a fire for me. I can’t do it all by myself. If you don’t come to help, you want to eat it every day! I don’t know what you were born for?”
“If you don’t give me food, I’ll go find a big one.” Li Songtao looked for Li Xiuwen, who was meditating alone in the main room, clamoring for rice.
Li Xiuwen is very fond of this young man, almost the kind of doting he can ask for, and he is used to him until he can’t achieve his goals.
Li Xiuwen took out half a bowl of the rice that his eldest son brought back last time and let Du Dahua cook it.
Du Dahua said dissatisfiedly: “This is too much, just grab a handful, and you can eat more if you keep it.”
“There are so many words, just do what you want, is it itchy?”
When Du Dahua heard what he said, he didn’t dare to open his mouth again, he took the rice in the bowl and hurriedly cooked it by himself.
Otherwise, the younger son will have trouble again. His things have not been approved by him. Even if they fall down, he will not allow others to touch him. Where does the stinky problem come from?
The smell of rice wafted throughout the yard. The two families closed their doors to eat, and no one knew what they were eating.
Li Xiaoyu knew that tomorrow the village would mow the fallen rice in the field. Due to the heavy rain overnight, there was a lot of water in the field.
In the middle of the night, Li Xiaoyu quietly got up and went out. Li Xiaoyan, who was on the other bed, heard the movement, opened her eyes, and looked in the direction of the door. Where is the little girl going at this time? Are you going to the toilet?
The field outside Li Xiaoyu’s house is a deep paddy field, even during the drought period, there is still shallow water.
After a night of heavy rain, the water in the field was closed to Li Xiaoyu’s knees. She squatted in the corner of the field, put her hands into the water, and released the fat eels, loach, and mussels in the space.
The three deep paddy fields in the team were placed in a row with eels, loach, and mussels. These things in the space are no longer visible, and all that are left are thin and thin, and the right should be left as a species.
Although these things have a strong fishy smell, but now there is no food to eat, who will dislike it?
As long as there is enough time, the fat eels and loaches will still appear. Li Xiaoyu comforted herself, patted her distressed heart, and went home silently.
Li Xiaoyan, who had been waiting in bed for a long time, was unable to find a younger sister, and decided to get up and go to her younger sister. She didn’t come back for so long, why didn’t she sleep in the toilet! Li Xiaoyan deeply doubts…
“Sister, do you want to go to the toilet?”
Li Xiaoyu said to Li Xiaoyan who was about to go out, and Li Xiaoyan was startled by her sudden appearance.
“Little sister, why did you come back so long, I was going to find you!”
“It’s okay, I just squatted for a long time, go back to sleep!” The sisters went back to the room to sleep.
On the second day, the captain woke up early. Today, his purpose was to go to the village chief. First, ask him what he said before deciding what to do next?
Before left, Captain Li went to Li Shuangming’s house and explained to him what the team had to do, and let him lead people to do it well, and not let people be lazy.
As an accountant, Li Shuangming was quite convinced by the villagers. Under his leadership, the villagers cut off the fallen rice in the fields, and kept the rice that did not fall, hoping to save the seeds for next year.
“There is an eel, what a big one!” Li Yuande, who was cutting rice, shouted and raised the eel he caught.
When others saw the fat eel in his hand, they also wanted to catch one. They put down their scythes and touched them in the water.
“here has!”
“I have it here too, and the mussels, what a big one!”
The shouts of attracted everyone, and they all went down to the fields to show their skills. Li Shuangming didn’t stop it, he jumped down to catch it himself.
“The water is too deep to catch. Go and drain the water and place a trumpet throat in the gap.” Li Shuangming shouted, and asked the family who had a trumpet throat to go back and get it.
