Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ding Yunfei, Chen Sufen and Ding Xiaoying went to work together to pull peanuts from the field.

The peanut field is quite far from home, Ding Yunfei and Ding Xiaoying are riding a bicycle, and Chen Sufen is driving a bullock cart.

The mountain road is winding, rough and uneven, and it is not easy to ride a bicycle. When encountering a rough section, you have to push the bicycle down. Cycling is slower than a bullock cart.

The road was bumpy, and they rode for half an hour before they reached their destination.

Although the sun has just risen, there are already people working in the fields, and they are also pulling peanuts.

After parking the car, Ding Yunfei followed Chen Sufen and Ding Xiaoying to their field and began to bend down to pull out peanuts.

The peanut field of their family looks not small, it is a large piece of land, at least an acre of land, not only peanuts but also cassava, the cassava grows quite tall, the leaves are quite lush, and the sun comes out You can also sit under the cassava to enjoy the cool.

It was the first time for Ding Yunfei to pluck peanuts. He didn't know how to pluck peanuts at first, but he learned how to do so after observing how Chen Sufen and Ding Xiaoying operated.

The first step is to pull up the peanuts by their stems, then shake off the soil on the peanuts, and then place the peanuts on the ground to dry in rows.

Ding Yunfei bent over, wearing labor protection gloves, grabbed the stem of the peanut and pulled it up. Because it rained yesterday and the soil was relatively soft, it didn't take much effort to pull up a peanut plant. The root of the peanut was hanging One shelled peanut, some peanuts can bear more than a dozen peanuts, some only bear a few peanuts, and some don't even bear fruit.

Seeing the peanuts with many knots, Ding Yunfei curiously counted the number of peanuts.Then I picked another peanut, peeled off the shell, put it in my mouth and tasted it. The peanut just pulled/out of the ground has a relatively high water content and a sweet taste, which is very delicious.

Ding Yunfei tasted a few peanuts from time to time while plucking peanuts. It was quite interesting, but the job seemed simple, and it was tiring to work with bending over all the time. After a while, he was sweating profusely, and his back hurt.

After working continuously for more than an hour, Ding Yunfei was too tired to move, so he sat on the ground to rest and watched Chen Sufen and Ding Xiaoying work. Chen Sufen and Ding Xiaoying didn't seem to know they were tired. Pulling the peanuts, the sweat on my face dripped into the soil and I didn't bother to wipe it off.

After resting for a while, Ding Yunfei also stood up, bent over and continued to work.

They worked until noon before they finished pulling out the peanuts in more than an acre of land.At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and the sun was shining very brightly. They hid under the cassava and drank porridge while enjoying the cool.

After the rest, Ding Yunfei thought that they would tie up the peanuts and move them to the bullock cart to bring them home, but Chen Sufen said that the peanuts would have to be dried in the field for a day or two before they could be bundled home, so there was no need to move them for now.

So, they packed up their things and called it a day and went home.

The next day, taking advantage of the good weather, they went to another field to pull peanuts. This field was not big, with only a few fractions of land. They finished pulling peanuts before noon and went home.

After resting at home at noon, they went to work again at three or four o'clock in the afternoon to bundle the peanuts plucked yesterday into bundles and transport them home.Ding Zhong went to the village to do errands in the morning, and when he returned home in the afternoon, he also rushed to the field to help on his motorcycle.

They use hemp/hibiscus to bundle the peanuts into bundles and move them to the bullock carts to pile them up. The bullock carts are piled high and high, and then they are tied with ropes.

When the work was over, it was already sunset.

There are two roads to go home, one is the main road and the other is the small road. Worried that the ox cart would be too full and it would be unsafe to take the small road, Ding Zhong drove the ox cart to the main road, while Chen Sufen and Ding Xiaoying rode bicycles behind the ox cart.

Ding Yunfei was riding a motorcycle and thought it would be closer to take the small road, so he could go home and cook first, so he took the small road.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the ride, he suddenly saw an ox cart overturned on the road in front of him and fell in the middle of the road. The cart loaded with peanuts also fell to the ground.The driver was a young aunt who was standing beside the ox cart trying to lift the overturned ox cart, but how could she lift such a heavy carriage by herself? on the ground.There are few people on this road, there are no villages, no shops, and no one to help.

Ding Yunfei hurriedly stopped the car and went over to help. When he walked in, he found a four or five-year-old girl standing next to the cart. The little girl was wiping her tears and calling: "Mom, mom."

"Er Niu, don't cry, mom is busy." The aunt comforted the girl while lifting the car vigorously.

Ding Yunfei stepped forward, looked at the overturned bullock cart, and then looked at the road. This section of the road happened to be a bend, and the road was still high on one side and low on the other. It is estimated that the cow ran faster, and the bullock cart turned sharply. overturned.

"Let's remove the peanuts from the car first, and reduce the weight so that we can lift it." Ding Yunfei said to the aunt, and then helped the aunt to remove the peanuts from the car.

Seeing someone passing by to help, the aunt was very moved, and was about to say "thank you", when she took a closer look, she found out that it was the son of the village chief's family. The aunt was shocked. No one in the village knew that the son of the village chief's family was a gangster , arrogant and domineering, often fights and fights, and does not do good things.Unexpectedly, the child would take the initiative to help now.

The aunt couldn't believe her eyes, she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and then went to unload the peanuts from the car with Ding Yunfei and put them on the side of the road.

The two quickly moved all the peanuts on the car to the ground, and the car became empty, so it was much easier to lift it. Together, the two of them quickly lifted the overturned car and put it back on the axle.

After the ox cart was installed, Ding Yunfei pulled the ox cart to a flat road with his bare hands and put it away, and then helped his aunt to reload the peanuts to the cart and put it on the cart again.

Seeing Ding Yunfei's enthusiastic help, the aunt was so moved that she didn't know what to say, she said to Ding Yunfei repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you." She also said to her daughter, "Thank you uncle soon."

The little girl looked up at Ding Yunfei, and said in a childish voice: "Thank you uncle."

"You're welcome." Ding Yunfei said with a slight smile, stepped on the motorcycle, and rode away on the motorcycle.

Because of the delay on the road, when he returned home, Ding Zhong and the others had already arrived, and Ding Zhong and Chen Sufen were unloading peanuts in the yard.

After parking the motorcycle, Ding Yunfei also walked over to help, helping to move the peanuts to the eaves and stack them.

After work, it was already dark, and Ding Xiaoying also made dinner. After washing hands, everyone sat at the dining table and started eating. The food was very rich. In the morning, Ding Zhong went to the village to do errands, and bought two grass carp at the market. , everyone ate with relish.

Ding Zhong still must drink a bowl of wine every night. Ding Yunfei was tired all day today, and he also wanted to drink two sips of wine to relieve his fatigue. Then he also picked up the flagon and poured a little wine. The degree is not high, but the stamina is still quite large.

While eating, Ding Yunfei listened to Chen Sufen and Ding Zhong talking about things, and only heard Chen Sufen ask Ding Zhong: "You have been running to the village every day for the past two days, have you finished your work? You don't want to go to the village tomorrow to do business?"

"It's already done. I went to a meeting yesterday. Today I mainly go to handle the five guarantees for Brother Lin. I have already helped him apply for it." Ding Zhong took a sip of his wine and said.

"Didn't Uncle Li's family at the east end of the village also compete to apply for the five-guarantee household? You didn't give him a quota?" Chen Sufen asked again.

"He doesn't meet the conditions, how can we give him a quota? Everyone is scrambling to apply for the money." Ding Zhong said contemptuously, "Brother Lin's situation is quite special, and it is indeed very difficult. He ran away." It took a few trips to help him apply."

"Then you didn't give the quota to Uncle Li, didn't you offend someone again?" Chen Sufen looked worried.

"I'll explain it to Uncle Li later, there's nothing I can do if I really offend you." Ding Zhong said indifferently, took a bite of food and chewed it in his mouth, and then said, "By the way, I went to a meeting yesterday, and the higher-ups issued another task. Let the village head of each village mobilize the villagers to build biogas digesters. The task given to me is that our village must complete the construction of at least 20 biogas digesters by the end of the year. As the village head, our family must take the lead in building one. In a few days, I contacted the technicians to come to start the construction."

"Does it cost money to build this?" Chen Sufen asked, she was more concerned about whether it would cost money.

"If you need money, it will cost several hundred yuan to build it." Ding Zhong said.

"So expensive?!" Chen Sufen exclaimed, and then asked, "How to build this? What is it for?"

"It is to dig a pond, fill the pond with animal dung and ferment it to produce gas, and use this gas to cook and light lamps," Ding Zhong explained.

Chen Sufen said: "Isn't it smelly to cook with this kind of gas? How disgusting, let me tell you, we don't build this in our house."

"That's right, Dazhong, will cooking with this stuff make the whole room smell bad?" Grandma Ding also asked.

"Don't worry, it doesn't smell bad," Ding Zhong said with certainty, "You don't understand, so you just worry about it. In short, our house must be built, and it's useless for you to object. If we don't build our house, How do I mobilize other villagers."

Ding Yunfei also knew something about biogas digesters, so he said: "I think this biogas digester is very good, and we can build one, so that it will be much more convenient to cook in the future."

"I also think it's very good, so I don't have to go up the mountain to cut firewood in the future, which saves a lot of energy." Ding Xiaoying also echoed.

Seeing that the two children said so, Grandma Ding and Chen Sufen no longer objected, and said: "Then let's build it."

Ding Zhong said: "I have already contacted, and someone will come to the door for construction in two days." Ding Zhong ate two mouthfuls of food, and said, "There is still a task at this meeting, let the village chief lead the villagers to get rich, and encourage the villagers to plant more Cash crops, I plan to use two-thirds of my family's land to grow cash crops next spring, instead of planting so much corn, just enough corn to eat."

"Then what kind of cash crops are you planning to grow?" Chen Sufen turned her head and asked Ding Zhong.

Ding Yunfei also looked at Ding Zhong, he also wanted to know what cash crops Ding Zhong planned to plant, whether it was the same as what he thought.

Ding Zhong said: "The above means to encourage the villagers to continue planting sugar cane. Now the villagers plant less sugar cane. If they plant more sugar cane, their annual income will be tens of thousands of yuan."

Their village has only started planting sugarcane in the past few years. Ding Zhong took the lead in planting sugarcane back then. At that time, the villagers did not know about this economic crop and worried that it would not be marketable. Later, Ding Zhong planted it, and there was a big truck They came to the field and took the sugar cane to the sugar factory to exchange money, so everyone followed suit and started planting.

Regarding agricultural planting, Chen Sufen listened to Ding Zhong more, so she said: "All right, you can plant whatever you want."

But Ding Yunfei had his own ideas, he hesitated, and said to Ding Zhong: "Dad, I want to plant fruit trees, can you give me a few acres of land to plant fruit trees?"

This is the first time that Ding Yunfei called Ding Zhong "Dad" after traveling for so long, and the way he called him was not so awkward, and it was quite smooth. Before he knew it, he had already regarded the original owner's family as his own relatives. I feel like I regard this place as my own home.

Hearing his son said that he wanted to plant fruit trees, Ding Zhong was very surprised. He looked at his son carefully and saw that his son looked serious, not as if he was talking casually. Only then did Ding Zhong realize that his son had become honest and quiet since he woke up from falling into the water. Many, I used to go out drinking with my friends all day long, idle about and not do my job, and recently I stopped going out. Instead, I went to work with them every day and helped them with work. I became more sensible and relieved them a lot.

Ding Zhong was naturally very happy to see such a big change in his son, he thought for a while, and said: "Okay, I can plant fruit trees on two acres of land for you, but you have to promise me that the fruit trees are planted well, but Don't heat up for 3 minutes."

Seeing that Ding Zhong agreed, Ding Yunfei was very happy, nodded and assured: "Thank you Dad, don't worry, I will definitely plant the fruit tree!"
