The years of red flags

Chapter 74 Planting Trees and Protecting Media
An old horse, a carriage that creaked endlessly when it moved, and a hundred saplings were sent to Shichuan Village.

"Jiang Hua, what are you doing? This man can't get enough to eat, and he still wants to plant trees."

"That's right, Jiang Hua, if you have this ability, you might as well get some food back."

The villagers didn't understand planting trees, and they joked about Jiang Hua, but the educated youth didn't understand either, and Jiang Hua didn't tell them in advance.

While unloading the truck, Jiang Hua explained to the villagers: "This is an apple tree. Our northwest is a good place, with long hours of sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, and deep soil. Sweet, when the time comes to sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, the village will have some spare money, and next year everyone can share some of it to make clothes for their wives and children, and buy some meat."

"Hua Zi, rest now, let's move these foreheads."

Immediately, an old man walked up to the carriage, pulled Jiang Huapa aside, and started to carry the apple saplings by himself.

"Just look at it like this, for whom Huazi is doing it for, we don't dare to do it ourselves, you don't expect others to do it for us, right?"

"Then who knows if growing apples is reliable?"

"Unreliable? If you want a reliable one, you will say that you can't do it. This apple tree is paid for by others."

So men in twos and threes came to help unload the carts, and the hundred saplings were completed in a short time, and the driver of the carriage left without saying a word.

"Hua Zi, where do you think the apples are grown?"

Jiang Hua pointed to the west side: "On the beam over there, there are ditches on the other side. It is not easy to cultivate the land. It is not a big problem to grow apples."

So some people started to go home, took shovels and picks and walked towards the ditch beam on the west side. It didn't take much to plant a hundred trees, at least it took dozens of strong laborers, and it was all done in one day.

Before dark at night, Chang Gui began to beat the small gong to hold meetings in the village.

On the threshing ground, the northwest wind was still blowing. Chang Gui knocked his pipe when he saw that everyone was here: "All the people are here, this educated young man Jiang Hua bought apple saplings today, and he bought chicken babies earlier. I know, there are people in the village who don’t say anything clearly, but whisper behind their backs, saying that they are biased, and I called everyone together today, just to make it clear to everyone.”

Chang Gui stood up and said loudly: "Er Changgui, ever since I became the village party secretary, I have never favored anyone. The baby chicken and the apple tree were all bought by educated youths themselves, and they were returned to the government. It’s on the account, if someone doesn’t believe it, they can go to the commune to report the amount, they can check it at will, and they can check the amount and say that they didn’t tell a lie.”

Huang Wenbin, an accountant in the village, stood up holding the account book: "Er can also be a witness, E's account can withstand investigation, chicken babies and apple trees, the village didn't spend a penny, whatever you want to sue, I will be justified wherever you go. "

"I didn't see it, this Jianghua is so rich!"

"This young man is just stupid. Buying wine and meat with money is no better than buying these things. He is stupid when he reads."

For a while, the villagers talked a lot. Few people thought that Jiang Hua was selfless, and they all thought that the child was stupid.

Chang Gui knocked on his cigarette and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? People pay for it so that Murakami can have enough food and clothing. If someone borrows money or something from an educated youth, let me know, and I will beat you to death with a hammer." .”

The meeting ended here. After the villagers were warned, no one dared to make Jiang Hua's idea.

But if one plan fails, another plan can be made. The smart man quickly found a loophole, and someone came to match Jiang Hua.

Sister-in-law Liu in front of her was usually taciturn, so she couldn't tell that she was so eloquent. She was so eloquent in front of Jiang Hua.

"Jiang Hua, this is a girl from Aunt E's family. Look, she is beautiful, with a big face and big eyes. Brother Dading, I am destined to be a good child. You will enjoy the blessings when you marry her back home."

Seeing that Jiang Hua didn't speak, Sister-in-law Liu continued: "This woman is also a good hand at work. She caught her at home and outside, Er Ni, wash your brother Jiang Hua's dirty clothes."

The girl went to the back room and started tumbling, and came out after a while and said, "Sister, there are no dirty clothes in the room."

"Then take off the sheets and quilt and wash them."

Sister-in-law Liu was determined to let this girl show off her skills, Jiang Hua hurriedly stopped her: "Sister-in-law Liu, the bed sheet and quilt cover have been removed in this weather, so what should I cover at night? I appreciate your kindness, but this matter I really can't promise you, I don't have any thoughts on this yet."

"Hey, you're still ashamed, kid. What's so embarrassing about getting married when you're a boy and a girl when you're a girl? Should you get married when you're old enough? You just need to open your mouth, and today I can make Chang Laogui Get you the proof."

Jiang Hua sent Sister-in-law Liu away because of talking badly. The sister of Sister-in-law Liu had a look of reluctance, and her sister must have blown her up on how good Jiang Hua is.

Both men and women in the room had narrow smiles on their faces, Zheng Tong said with a smile: "Brother Hua, you missed this good marriage, Mi You's mother-in-law is famous all over the country, how can you be so I don't cherish it anymore."

"You like it. It just so happens that Sister-in-law Liu hasn't gone far. I'll call her back and introduce you to that rice-oiled mother-in-law. You are a perfect match."

In fact, Sister-in-law Liu is not the first one. Four or five families have already introduced Jiang Hua.

After sending seven or eight matchmakers to propose marriage, the matter was over, and Murakami regained his calm. Although after Jiang Hua's explanation, the big guys are already very active in doing public work, but every time they go to work, Chang Gui They have to complain a few words like a routine.

"Everyone is slow, and they are faster than rabbits in their own land."

This was already Chang Gui's mantra before he went to work. The villagers were already immune to this sentence.

The crops in the field are growing very well. In Chang Gui's words, they have grown a lot compared to previous years, and some people have grown a lot. This has naturally multiplied the villagers' enthusiasm. Exciting.

The one hundred apple trees on the ditch beams have also been carefully taken care of. There is no shortage of fertilizers or water, and they live more comfortably than humans. Everyone knows that it is not apples that are taken care of, but the hope of the future.

There is another hopeful person in Shichuan Village, and that is Zhong Yuemin. In March in Yangchun, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot. It is such a pleasant thing to chat with his Qinling sister on the top of the cave, and he He also seized every time to rest, and worked tirelessly to drive tens of miles, just to cross a ravine that was close at hand, to visit his love sister.
