Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

"Look, what is this? Do you know him?" My brother ran back holding a ground Ragu to show Zhang Xingming.

Zhang Xingming glanced at it and said, "La La Gu." Turning his head, he shouted at his grandfather, "Grandpa, there is La La Gu in the field."

This thing lives in the shallow soil layer like earthworms, can turn the soil, and its excrement can fertilize the land, but earthworms can help crops grow, but this thing only eats crops and is a pest.

It is actually very difficult to catch this thing at ordinary times, because the ground is newly turned, so it will run to the ground.

My brother looked at the Dilagu in his hand, and was about to throw it away. Zhang Xingming said, "Don't throw it away, go back and feed the chicken. If there are too many of these things, we will have no food to eat. It will eat vegetables."

The elder brother looked at Zhang Xingming with a sudden realization, and said, "Just like that green worm?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Yes, the pests must be killed."

The elder brother lowered his head, looked around, and said, "I saw several of them. This thing drills very quickly. How can I catch it?"

It turned out that he just squatted there to study for a while from time to time, and he saw this thing, waiting to catch it.

Grandpa came over, looked at the worm in my brother's hand, and said, "Oh, it's so big, it's not easy to handle, this year's dish will suffer. Let's get some medicine tomorrow, go buy medicine."

To buy medicine, you have to go to the brigade, and you have to walk seventeen or eight miles along the road.

Zhang Xingming stood there thinking for a long time, seemed to remember that this thing was for Xiang Guang, so he asked his grandpa: "Grandpa, can the electric light be pulled into the field at night?"

Grandpa reached out and touched the top of Zhang Xingming's head, and said with a smile, "Wait for the lamp? The crops don't need to be illuminated at night, and they don't move."

Zhang Xingming pointed to Lalagu and said: "This thing, when the light is on at night, it will come out."

Grandpa asked grandma to take Zhang Xingming and his elder brother to plant corn, and he packed up and went to the team to find someone.When it was getting dark, the electrician from the team came over and helped pull a lamp from the house to the ground, and charged [-] cents.

After dinner in the evening, it was getting dark. Grandpa propped up the lamp head that had been pulled to the ground with a pole, more than one meter above the ground, screwed in the light bulb, and the family sat on the back window sill and watched.In fact, grandpa may not believe that La Lagu will come out by himself after installing a lamp, he just thinks it is to play with the children.

The instinct of animal phototaxis is actually unsolvable. When the lamp is turned on for more than an hour, there will be movement on the ground. It is not as fast as drilling during the day, but a pile will emerge one by one and crawl under the light. I don't know why.

Grandma was on the sidelines as a show, but when she saw the real spirit, she was very happy, ran to turn on the light above the gate, and released the chickens that had already nested.

After several nights in a row, the lights had to be turned on for several hours before one or two Lalagus could be seen, and this activity was declared over. The Lalagus in this large area are probably not far from extinction.

Chapter 11

After the corn and sorghum are planted, the field behind the house is almost finished, and there are still some ridges on the edge of the field. Grandpa has planted pumpkins, watermelons and sunflowers.There are still some onions on the ground. The onions are planted after autumn every year. After a winter in the ground, they will germinate in the spring. At this time, the green tips are already emerging.

The land in the front yard is more mixed. Kidney beans, cowpeas, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, leeks, lettuces, and garlic are planted in small pieces of each kind. These things can’t be put away when they are ripe, and they can be thrown away if they are too much. It won't take much land to save some more seeds.It is more troublesome to grow kidney beans and cucumbers, and it is necessary to build a shelf for it.

Zhang Xingming and his elder brother each had two wooden poles. The lower ends were inserted into the soil, and the upper ends were crossed together. tie.The wooden pole is a kind of branch cut from the mountain. It is white and tough. I don't know what it is called.There is no bamboo in the Northeast.

Of course, it is indispensable: "Look at the trick. Yay, hey, my grandson is here, monster, please spare your life."

"Brother, are you a monster or Monkey King?"

"I must be Sun Wukong, you are a monster, a monster, please spare your life."

"Then you, Monkey King, surrendered to the monster?"

"Nonsense, Sun Wukong is the most powerful, how can he surrender, you monsters surrender, surrender is useless, yay, kill them all, one stick at a time, no, one stick at a time."

"If you don't surrender, why don't you call the monster to spare your life?"

"Did I yell? I didn't yell, you heard it wrong, ah, general, old grandson, monster, you, you, kill you..."

Click, the branch broke.

"Grandpa, why did the branch break when touched? I didn't try hard, I didn't break it."

……

After a ridge has been built, branches will be used to connect the built frames together and tie them up.In this way, the shelf will not fall over after being loaded.

Cucumber racks are different from kidney bean racks, because ripe cucumbers are very heavy and have higher requirements for racks.Like a shed, there should be poles and vine poles, and it should be placed between the ridges in the shape of an adult, with two ridges and one. You can't use branches, but use real wooden poles.

The land is not big, and the master set up all the shelves in a few days.

In this way, the spring plowing of my family is over, and then my grandparents will also participate in the spring plowing of the production team, planting sorghum, soybeans and peanuts.The children began to be active, and they were very busy going up and down the mountains and rivers. There were groups of children all over the mountains and plains, running and shouting and laughing, making chickens fly and dogs jumping. The busiest time.

When the work in the field is almost over, spring is almost over.

At this time, the mountains are already green, the catkins have already flown over, the trees have grown new leaves, and even the pines and cypresses have changed from black ink to national defense green.

The tall poplar trees have sprouted clusters, and the locust trees have also sprouted new thorns. Small flowers of various colors all over the mountains and plains are popping up under the bushes and trees. At a glance, white, blue, purple, red, yellow, pink, big and small The tall ones stand on the grass, the short ones hide among the clumps, or stand in the grass in twos or twos, or clusters of clumps are blooming in the wind, dyeing the whole world with vitality, and butterflies of all colors, big and small, are here. The grass and flowers are flying and busy, and the clear stream meanders through the scenery. The river water reflects the blue sky and green grass, flashing in the sun, and Yiwan Bihong is a dancing song.

The mountain flowers are blooming, the vegetation is lush, and summer is here.Compared with the long winter, the spring and summer in the Northeast are very short, but they are more intense, just like the summer rain in the Northeast.The rain in the Northeast is completely different from that in the South. The rain in the South is gentle and lingering. One rain lasts for a day, two days or even a week. The rain in the Northeast is violent. The same amount of water lasts for three or four days in the South, while in the Northeast It only takes two or three hours.

The chickens were walking in the yard, pecking at some stones from time to time, the pigs were lazily lying on their bellies in the sun, and grunting in satisfaction, the cats were squatting on the window sill and licking their paws slowly, Zhang Xingming was sitting Sleeping on the stone platform under the eaves, my brother sat beside him with a few wicker sticks to weave a hat.Grandma and grandpa were busy in the vegetable garden. They didn't know whether they were weeding or what they were doing. They talked and waited on them slowly.

There are white clouds floating in the sky, like yarn for a while, like mountains for a while, and more like a large piece of fish scales, attached to the blue background.

Then a gust of wind suddenly blows over, the head of the wind is still warm, and the tail of the wind is a bit cool.The first wave was still gentle, but the latter wave became violent. The floating sand rushed up from the ground and hit the windowpanes, crackling, the wind became more rapid, and there was a whistling sound in the sky. Shake in the wind.The wind is cooler.The floating clouds in the sky, which were still quiet just now, ran towards the east quickly as if there was something urgent.

Grandma and grandpa put down their work and hurried out of the vegetable garden. Grandma went to cover the sauce jar, put stones on the lid of the jar, took off the clothes drying on the wooden tent, and walked into the house and shouted: "Come in, come in, come in!" It’s raining.” Zhang Xingming and his elder brother followed his grandma into the house and climbed onto the kang.

Grandpa is installing windows.At this time, the windows in the rural areas of Northeast China were divided into upper and lower sections, the upper section was pasted with window paper, and the lower section was made of glass.The upper half of the window was turned up with a wooden stick against it, while the lower half of the window was taken down entirely and put aside.Grandpa put the lower half of the window in place, twisted the small wooden block on the window frame to fix the window, and then lowered the upper half of the window.After the front and rear four windows were finished, you could already see the blown dust flying all over the sky on the gravel road of Defense Road outside the window, making the sky look dim.

The branches and leaves of all the trees tilted and trembled in one direction, making a rattling sound, and the grass was like waves on the surface of water.The chickens cooed and huddled together under the eaves, and the old cat also entered the house, huddling beside Zhang Xingming, lying on the window sill with its front paws like Zhang Xingming, and looking out the window.

Just as grandma and grandpa packed up and closed the door and sat down, the sky outside suddenly darkened, and a thick black cloud surged over the Xishan pass. When they saw it, it was still above the pass, but at the next glance, it had already reached the top of their heads. The wind also became more violent, carrying a puff of moisture, the animals in the yard screamed, and adults shouted and ran outside the yard.Suddenly the sky that had already darkened brightened violently, and with an ear-splitting thunder, heavy rain poured down.

The sky became completely dark in an instant. In the afternoon, I couldn't see my fingers. I saw lightning flying in the mountains like a silver snake. Nothing else could be heard between the sky and the earth except the sound of rain. Zhang Xingming and his brother held tight Lie on the glass window and look out, but can only see my own reflection in the light.

Suddenly a flash of red lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the distant mountains and land for a moment, the thunder sounded like it was pressing on the roof, and the lights trembled amidst the thunder, Zhang Xingming, his brother and the old cat Sitting next to each other on the kang in front of the window, quietly watching the darkness outside.Feel the power of nature.

After a while, the sky gradually began to brighten, and gradually I could see things. The mountains and forests in the distance became hazy, looming, and the houses in the distance seemed to be moving, spreading out through the glass windows Dim lights.At this time, I saw a curtain of water drawn up between the sky and the earth, changing its shape in the wind from time to time, falling straight for a while, and drifting obliquely for a while. The yard has been filled with water, forming a stream as deep as an adult's back. , the water flows down along the national defense embankment, flows into the stream in the yard, flows out of the courtyard gate, and flows into the small river outside.

The black clouds in the sky gradually became brighter, as if flying high all of a sudden, the feeling of being pressed above the head gradually dissipated, the wind gradually weakened, and the raindrops fell vertically, hitting everything on the ground. The trees on the mountain have been straightened up again, and the verdant trees on the mountain have lost their dusty color and become green.

It seems that it has been a long time, and it seems that in an instant, the rain has passed by, leaving wet footprints.

A rainbow soared into the sky on the top of the mountain in the sky, and the birds flapped their wings and flew up, and the crisp chirping sounded in the valley.

Except for the wet air and the dripping water from the eaves and the muddy ground in the yard, the rain left nothing, the sun shines on the earth again, mist rises in the mountains and forests, everything looks so fresh, even the air is refreshing It's gone, only the mountain wind is still cool, blowing the water droplets on the trees.

It comes violently, but goes decisively. This is the rain in the northeast.

With the fall of several rains, the weather began to get hotter and hotter. Before you know it, summer is here. The wormwood all over the mountains and plains has turned dark green. The tall ones are more than one meter high, and the short ones are densely spread on the ground. The crops in the field have grown into a large piece of green gauze tent, and the wind blows to form continuous green waves, rustling.At this time, the children in the fort would come to Nangou, which is the largest area of ​​sorghum field in the team, and there are many fruit trees.

So there were more children playing together, jumping up and down and running, the older children climbed the fruit trees, picked the unripe fruits, and competed with who dared to eat, to see who could finish eating, eat more, eat more Clutching his teeth and jumping sourly, everyone around him laughed out loud.Then there is a child who has diarrhea after eating, in exchange for an adult to beat him up.

The elder brother is involved, but he will not eat fruit foolishly, he always tricks other children into eating, and he is laughing at the same time.Zhang Xingming just watched and felt the fun.
