Hello 1983

"Brother-in-law, let me do it."

Liu Qingshan stepped forward to take the wooden shovel, and then climbed up the gable wall, and after a few squawks, he climbed onto the thickest beam in the middle.

From this beam to both sides, there are gentle slopes. Just use a wooden shovel to slide down gently, and a large strip of snow will fall to the ground with a splash.

The temperature inside the greenhouse is high, and the plastic sheeting is smooth, so the bottom layer of snow is not strong.

After walking back and forth on the crossbeam, the snow on both sides was cleared, and Gao Wenxue sighed: Why can't I do it?

"Sanfeng'er, where is Qingxue!"

In the distance, Datou greeted him on the other side of the avenue.

He was going from house to house, telling everyone to clear the snow off the shed quickly, otherwise, the sun would not be able to get in and the temperature in the shed would not rise.

"Big head, it's snowing a lot, what's the matter?"

Liu Qingshan was also yelling, he knew that the big head must have walked around.

"It's nothing serious, it's just the big shed of old uncle's house. The place where it was glued was torn apart by the wind. I'm here to borrow Sister Jinfeng's electric iron."

While talking, Datou entered the yard, and said to Liu Qingshan: "After the snow this time, the meadow is also frozen, we have to hurry up to harvest the reeds, and put up the straw curtains as soon as possible."

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Then let's start tomorrow."

After Datou took the electric iron and left, he went to the garden of his grandfather's house and pushed away the snow. In addition, there were also the greenhouses of Shan Xing's house, the house of dumb grandfather's house, and the house of Zhang Ganzi's house. Take a look.

Basically everything was cleaned up. It was Zhang Shuzi and his brothers, who were carrying a long and large pole with a wooden plank horizontally in front of it.

Standing on the ground, send the wooden pole to the top of the greenhouse, and with a light pull, a large piece of snow will be brought down, which is safe and fast.

"Second brother, it's better to use your stuff."

Liu Qingshan said hello, the chicken coops had been finished, and he gave Zhang Jizi another 200 yuan to buy wire and the like, and planned to stock up a batch.

Zhang Xiaozi chuckled twice: "Qingshan, it's snowing, someday I'm free, let's go to Su Que together."

A few people carried a super big rake together and walked around the village. The snow on the shed was cleared, and by the way, they also notified the matter of cutting the reeds tomorrow.

Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping wood, but it is necessary to tidy up the tools in advance.

When Liu Qingshan came home, he found that the fourth and fifth children were making snowmen at the gate.

This first snow was relatively sticky because the temperature was not so low. The two little girls pushed two big snowballs, one big and one small.

Worried about not being able to move the big snowball, when he saw Liu Qingshan, he immediately ran over and grabbed his arms.

Liu Qingshan smiled and helped them work: move the smaller snowball to the big snowball, the bottom one will be the body, and the top one will be the head.

Then the two little girls began to decorate the snowman: they grabbed a red pepper for the nose, two black charcoals for the eyes, a broken bucket on the head, and two rows of buttons drawn on the body, as if wearing a woolen coat.

"Haha, this snowman is my brother!"

Shan Xing smiled so much that her eyes curled up.

The fourth child also clapped his hands: "Then let's make two more little snowmen, one is me and the other is you."

The two little ones were very energetic, and they soon produced two little ones. In order to distinguish them, scarves were drawn around their necks.

"It's time to eat!"

When Lin Zhi's voice came out, the fourth child ran to the east courtyard and called his grandparents and Yang Hongying over for dinner.

According to the usual practice, when the first snow falls, two meals will be officially started, and the school time will no longer be divided into morning and afternoon. School starts at 08:30 in the morning and ends at around [-] in the afternoon.

"Teacher, does the snowman we made look good?"

The fourth child pointed at the snowman and showed off.

Yang Hongying boasted: "It's so beautiful, who are these snowmen?"

The fourth child blinked and blinked his big eyes: "The small ones on both sides are me and Shan Xing, and the big one in the middle is Teacher Yang."

Didn't you say that just now?

Shan Xing moved her lips, but finally said nothing.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help it, and burst into laughter: You little sycophant!

After breakfast, together with my eldest brother-in-law, I also cleared the snow on the earthworm shed in the backyard, and also cleared the snow on the courtyard and the road. This is also an unwritten rule in the countryside.

Whoever's house is facing the avenue, if they don't sweep the snow, they will be laughed at as a lazy family.

After a heavy snowfall, the whole world turns into a piece of silvery white, as if it becomes much cleaner all of a sudden.

But those birds and beasts are miserable, foraging has become a big trouble, and the whole winter is also the saddest season for them.

The old thieves are better, they have a thick skin, they gather in groups around the chicken trough and duck food bowl, and follow them to pick up some leftovers.

Those birds and beasts in the woods are really difficult.Even the squirrels are the most comfortable. They have food reserves, so they don't panic.

It seems that it is better to live a little calculated.

After clearing the snow, Liu Qingshan took advantage of the warm time at noon to make some sand and mud, and together with his grandfather and eldest brother-in-law, he built the stoves of the two families.

The stove is built with red bricks. As for the iron stove, it is still a high-end product, and it is still rare in rural areas.

Because it is mainly for burning firewood, the stoves are set up relatively large, add some corn husks or wooden scorpions, and it will burn up, and the room will be hot soon.

In addition, the heated kang can also dissipate heat, so the inside of the house is not cold at all.

But the fire must not be turned off. At this time, the doors and windows are single-layered and not so tight, so after the fire is stopped, the temperature in the room will drop rapidly.

When I woke up the next day, the water in the tea mug could freeze into lumps of ice.

In the words of the old ladies: the house is freezing, even the urinal above the head is frozen to ice!

Of course, it's just winter, so it's not that cold, but keeping warm and preventing the cold has to be put on the agenda.

This year, in addition to the house, there is also the greenhouse. After another month, the stove will have to be fired at night, otherwise the temperature will be too low.

In Liu Qingshan's house, there were some bricks left because of the construction of the earthworm pond. In other houses, there was not even a single extra brick.

He consulted with the branch secretary and team leader, and decided to buy a batch of iron stoves and tin stove tubes, one for each family, and install them in the greenhouse. Anyway, these things are purchased at one time and can be used for many years.

A total of nearly [-] sets are needed, so I have to go to the commune blacksmith to make an order. Captain Zhang personally went out and drove the big carriage with the boss to the commune.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan saw the elder sister brought a dustpan of corn into the house, and sat on the kang to rub the corn.

First, use a corn skewer to shove the corn tassels down several times, usually every few rows.

Then hold the ears of corn with both hands, and twist them hard in opposite directions, and the corn grains will be scattered into the dustpan with a clatter.

Yang Hongying looked at the novelty and wanted to help with the work, but the corn skewer almost pierced her hand, and after twisting two ears of corn, her palm almost blistered again.

This farm work is really not something you can do if you want to.

"Sister, do you want to fry popcorn?"

The little fourth's little brain reacted quickly, and he guessed the big sister's intentions all at once.

Because after eating two meals, I was so hungry at night that I couldn't sleep, so I chewed some popcorn to mess with my stomach.

After seeing the eldest sister nodding, the fourth and fifth children jumped up happily and hurriedly went outside to collect sand.

Because when frying popcorn, in order to heat evenly, put a few handfuls of fine sand in the pot first.

Of course, frying with salt is the best, but no one can bear to do so at this time.

What a prodigal, even a big grain of salt costs [-] cents a catty.

Before the fourth child and the others went out, Liu Qingshan had collected half of the sand with an iron picket and entered the house, found a sieve, put it in the pot, and poured the sand into the sieve.

With a splash, the fine sand leaked into the pot, and the remaining stones and the like in the sieve were thrown away.

Lin Zhi sat in front of the stove and lit the fire, Liu Qingshan turned the sand in the pot with a shovel, and when the sand was hot, poured in the corn and continued to stir fry.

Snapped!

Accompanied by a soft sound, some corn kernels were heated and exploded, and immediately a small hand reached into the pot to pick out the snow-white corn flowers.

It's the fourth child and the fifth child, you and me, take turns.

The popcorn flowers that had just exploded were still very hot, and the two little guys were tossing back and forth with their palms and blowing air.

When it is a little cold, put it in your mouth beautifully, accompanied by a strong corn fragrance, it is the delicacy in the eyes of children in this era.

In their opinion, it is no worse than some buttered popcorn.

Because the iron pot is not sealed, there are only a few popcorns, and most of them are only cracked with a small crack.

This kind is called "dumb corn", probably because there are no popcorns.

But it tastes crisper, chewing in the mouth, crunchy, and quite fragrant.

It’s just that if you eat too much, you will get thirsty. Some children also pack two bags of cornflowers when they go to school, and chew two handfuls between classes.

Liu Qingshan fried several pots in a row, and then he gave up, collected another dustpan of firewood, and tried the newly built stove to see if it worked well.

As soon as he saw the stove, Xiao Lao Si's eyes lit up again, and he and Shan Xing found a handful of vermicelli, cut the vermicelli into small pieces with scissors, and put them on the stove lid.

After the vermicelli is heated, it will become thicker and thicker. After the surface is golden, it can be taken off and eaten.

Take a bite, it is very crispy, with a bit of burnt aroma.

In addition to baking vermicelli, you can also bake potato chips on the stove lid, and you can also cook potatoes in the hearth below, which are what children like to do most.

There is no way, people at that time had no idea, especially children, who were running around and hungry...

The next day, Liu Qingshan got up early as usual and went up the mountain. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, a black shadow bumped into him and pushed him into a squatting position.

Chapter 91 The Pheasant Can't Fly Three Knots

Looking at the big sika deer in front of him, and the herd of dozens of deer not far away, Liu Qingshan couldn't help grinning: "Hey, are you here to eat the big family again?"

A heavy snowfall blocks the mountains and forests. If the deer want to forage, they have to dig through the snow to find moss and hay under the snow. Of course, it is more laborious.

It's better to eat ready-made ones, so the big sika deer brought the herd to the tooth-making festival again.

Don't look at Liu Qingshan's mouth moaning, as if he was reluctant, but in fact, his heart was full of joy.

The more often the deer come, the closer they are to the day when they will be domesticated.

As usual, some large grains of salt were sprinkled, and this time an extra dustpan of corn was harvested. The wild deer seldom get food, and they almost lost their fight.

Soon, Xiao Lao Si and Xiao Lao Wu also got out of bed after hearing the news, and ran out after fully dressed.

Both little guys put on winter clothes, cotton jackets and trousers, knitted hats on their heads, and cotton gloves on their hands, just like the two little cotton balls.

"Big Deer!"

Xiao Laosi cheered and hugged the sika deer's long face.

With these two little guys taking care of the deer herd, Liu Qingshan didn't have to worry about it, and ran up the mountain in a hurry.

The earth is white, and the mountains and forests in the distance are black and vast. The scene is very vast, as if the whole person's heart has become pure and open.

Oh oh oh!

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but let out a long roar.

oooooooo...

There was really a response, which made Liu Qingshan shiver uncontrollably.

Howling wolves in the snow is really scary to hear.

Fortunately, soon Master's unique howl sounded again, and the wolf howl stopped abruptly.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but be fascinated: When will he become the king of this mountain forest like Master?

Running all the way to Mukelen, the master got up early, and the open space in front of Mukelen has been cleaned.

Liu Qingshan brought the food, oil and salt and other daily necessities to the house, but Xiao Hei, the little bear, came to hug his thigh as usual, Liu Qingshan patted its head and asked: "Master, don't all bears come to winter? Hibernate?"

The dumb grandpa smiled and gestured: He hid in the cave to sleep when he didn't eat or drink, and only a fool hibernates when he has food and drink.

Hi, that's the truth.

After going down the mountain and returning to the village, after breakfast, more than 20 villagers gathered towards the west of the village.

Several large carriages came with bundles of rope and special tools for cutting reeds.

The sickle is also used to cut reeds, but it is much larger than the ordinary sickle for cutting wheat and millet.

The handle of the sickle is more than one foot long, and it takes two hands to swing it.
