Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

Ruan Xishi was not at home, Lu Ze had nothing to do after calling his father, so he simply turned on the TV and waited for Ruan Xishi to come back.

There wasn't any good-looking program in the afternoon, either the TV series that had been played hundreds of times or some boring news advertisements, so Lu Ze picked a program at random to make the room less quiet.

He turned on the TV but didn't watch it. Xiao Hui was allowed to go into the house to sleep a few days ago, and then saw him sitting in the living room, and also sneaked in, wandering around at Lu Ze's feet.

Lu Ze was also bored. He lifted Xiao Hui's two front paws, made Xiao Hui stand up on its hind feet, and whistled to tease it to play. Xiao Hui usually sleeps outside by itself, so someone will play with it. Happy, he kept wagging his tail and licking Lu Ze's hand flatteringly.

One person and one dog were having fun in the room, and they didn’t even know what was on the TV show. Ruan Xishi came back from a meeting, and when she entered the door, she saw a man and a woman kissing on the TV. The woman was still unbuttoning her clothes, and she was so scared He immediately lifted the foot that stepped in, subconsciously trying to avoid it.

Although the scale of TV dramas has been strictly controlled in recent years, there are still some ambiguous scenes in the rural TV dramas broadcast by the national TV station. Maybe the producers think that the plot needs it, and there is nothing wrong with adding some appropriately. Anyway, it didn’t touch the bottom line, and the TV drama itself is very good. Rigorous, the occurrence of these plots gives people a sense of reason.

Ruan Xishi watched TV dramas with his grandfather when he was a child, and when he saw scenes where the male and female characters were making love, he would turn his face away in embarrassment. He still can’t accept it now, and always feels that it’s not moral to watch other people make out.

What's more, it's somewhat awkward to watch such ambiguous scenes in front of the person I like.

It was Xiao Hui who discovered Ruan Xishi's return first. It kicked off Lu Ze's hand and went out to meet Ruan Xishi, wagging its tail happily. Then Lu Ze noticed that Ruan Xishi had returned, but he didn't know why he hid outside and didn't come in.

Could it be that he was playing hide and seek with him?Lu Ze was amused by his own thoughts, stood up and walked out lightly.

Ruan Xishi was frightened by the TV drama scene just now, stood outside the door and calmed down for a while, and then was about to enter the door, but bumped into Lu Ze head-on, and Lu Ze suddenly appeared, scaring him who was a bit guilty until the hairs on his back exploded.

Seeing him startled, Lu Ze hugged him into his arms with a smile, and asked, "What's the matter, hiding here to scare me, did I scare you?"

Ruan Xishi felt that it was inappropriate for the two of them to hug each other in broad daylight, so he got out of Lu Ze's arms, only to see the scene of a man and a woman lying on the bed chatting afterwards on TV, and suddenly became angry: "Brother Lu Ze, you are still here What TV show are you watching?"

Lu Ze said innocently: "How do I know what TV I'm watching? I just put on a random channel..."

As he said that, he turned his head and saw the two people huddling together again in the TV series, and he was a little ashamed. The degree of embarrassment was no less than being caught watching porn by his lover, even though it was a serious TV series.

He wanted to turn off the TV in the past, but he was afraid that Ruan Xishi would think he was guilty, but fortunately, the scene passed by in a flash, and Lu Ze was frightened into a cold sweat for no reason.

Thinking that he has been stable and stable for so many years, he has turned over again and again in the matter of falling in love with Ruan Xishi. Fortunately, Ruan Xishi didn't know him before, otherwise he would be laughed at.

After the TV series was over, the matter was over. Lu Ze went back and turned off the TV, and found a topic to ease the embarrassment.

"Is the meeting over so soon?"

Ruan Xishi took off his water shoes and put them outside, and replied: "Yes, the village chief didn't say anything, he just said that the plow machine will come to the village in two days, and we don't have to plow the fields by ourselves this season, but these two days are still We need to make a field ridge to store the water in the field.”

Lu Ze didn't have much thought about this matter. After all, he asked Zhu Wen to arrange it. He paid for the plow machine and technicians, but it was only through the hands of the town government.The town government heard that a big boss wanted to develop the village under their jurisdiction, and was happy to see the success, so it was done with almost no thought.

But he still nodded cooperatively: "That's pretty good, mechanical plowing should be very fast, and there is no need to bother Uncle Li anymore."

Ruan Xishi said again: "Brother Lu Ze, do you want to go with me to Uncle Wu's fish pond to catch fish? After the meeting just now, Uncle Wu asked us to go to his side to help catch fish to eat, and many people went."

Lu Ze remembered what Ruan Xishi said to him when he killed the fish that day, and said with a smile: "Why, am I finally going to see the scene of eating fish until you vomit?"

Ruan Xishi also smiled: "Maybe, don't you really like fish? Let's catch a few more fish, so we don't need to buy vegetables for many days."

Lu Ze waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "Farewell, please, I'm afraid, okay?"

Ruan Xishi carried a bucket and a pair of net bags, and took Lu Ze to the fish pond of Uncle Wu's house.

Uncle Wu’s fish pond is in the mountain nest, not very deep, nor very big. Because of the rain, the water line rises, overflows to the shore, and also overflows the drain, and the fish swim along the water to the drain. Go, fall into the ditch.

If you don’t catch them, the hard-earned fish will swim to unknown places along the ditch, so Uncle Wu mobilized everyone to catch fish in the ditch, and at the same time, he and a few young people in his family closed the drain. Blocked up, the mountain nest was full of people's voices.

Both sides of the ditch are full of fish catchers, some standing on the shore, and some standing in the ditch with their trousers rolled up. The fish with silvery gray luster are salvaged and flopping on the shore.

The person standing on the shore is responsible for catching the fish on the shore and putting them into the bucket. Some fish are as long as half an arm and are so strong that one person cannot catch them, and two people need to work together to catch them.The children were not allowed to go into the water, so they caught fish on the shore. The fish was too big, so they had to hold each other tightly in their arms, like children who catch fish every year.

Seeing that everyone was having so much fun in the water, Lu Ze also joined the fish catching team. Ruan Xishi watched him from the nearby bank and told him to move slowly from time to time.

The water in the ditch was muddied by people, and occasionally you can judge whether there are fish swimming by the fins exposed on the surface of the water. Ruan Xishi has sharp eyes, and when she sees it, she points to the water and shouts to Lu Ze: "Here is one, brother Lu Ze, quickly use the net. Fish it!"

With quick eyes and hands, Lu Ze threw the net at the place Ruan Xishi pointed to, and when he picked it up, he saw a silver-white fish in the net pocket, which was not too small and heavy.

After a busy afternoon, almost all the fish that ran out were caught, and those who came almost had two or three big fish, and they didn't want any extra fish, so they sent them back to Uncle Wu.Seeing that the villagers were so honest, Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Take them all back to eat, what can you do for me, can you still be polite to me?"

The villagers laughed and said, "You think we are being honest, because we are afraid of eating, so we send it back to you. If you want to exchange it for other things, you want us to return it to you."

Everyone is from the village, and they are very familiar, and they joke around, and although they are disgusted on their lips, they have a smile on their faces.

Lu Ze found it interesting to listen to the conversations of the villagers, and discussed with Ruan Xishi on the way home with the fish.

Ruan Xishi explained with a smile: "People say that eating fish is scary, but in fact, they just want to return the extra fish to Uncle Wu. They are afraid that Uncle Wu will not take it, so they tease him like this. After all, Uncle Wu is very hard to raise fish, and he is everywhere all year round. Cut grass and vegetables and throw them into the pond to feed the fish, patrol with a flashlight in the middle of the night, 360 days a year, and earn money to support the family by buying fish."

After hearing Ruan Xishi's words, Lu Ze felt more and more that the people in the village were pure and kind. Ruan Xishi lived in such a simple environment since he was a child, no wonder he looks so likable.

The two of them couldn't hold back Uncle Wu, so they took three fish home, but they couldn't keep them alive, so they had to slaughter them early, cut off the good parts and eat them, and chopped the rest into pieces, and mixed them into the leftovers to feed the chickens and ducks.

Ducks eat more and more and lay more and more eggs. When they meet a meal of meat, they eat like crazy.While they were buried in their food, Ruan Xishi walked into the duck shed, counted the duck eggs and put them into the food bowl, filling a bowl full.

Because it has been raining these days and the farming is busy, the family has accumulated a lot of eggs, and there is no time to sell them in the town. Ruan Xishi can only preserve them properly to avoid spoilage.

He said to Lu Ze: "After transplanting the seedlings, let's go to the town and sell the eggs."

Lu Ze was still processing the fish. He felt that he had become a skilled fish killer, which made him smell like fish. When Ruan Xishi told him to go to the town, he said yes.

Ruan Xishi took over Lu Ze's work after putting the eggs in. He chopped the fish meat into sauce, mixed it with oil and salt sauce, kneaded it into balls, steamed some in a rice cooker, and fried some in an oil pan. The pieces of fish are also deep-fried, and if placed properly, they can last for several days without deterioration.

It just happened that the next few days were busy with plowing and planting the fields, and Ruan Xishi didn't have any extra thoughts on cooking. The fried fish meat and fish balls greatly saved cooking time, and it was ready to eat after heating it up and making a vegetable.

On the day when the village came to the plow machine, the villagers went to the entrance of the village early in the morning to watch and join in the fun. They had only seen this kind of "iron bull" on TV. When they saw the real thing for the first time, they all thought it was very fresh.

The plow machines were brought in by medium-sized trucks, because the road into the village was difficult, and the trucks were dirty, but the plow machines on them were still brand new, and there were even red ribbons on the handrails. Momo Ximomo.

The person in charge and technicians sent by the town government were discussing with the village head where to start plowing the fields. The villagers also came to listen and actively asked the technicians for advice, and the technicians also gave them explanations enthusiastically.

After the sun came out, the sound of the plow machine working was heard in the field. The three plow machines started working from three directions, and completed the operation of one acre of land in ten minutes. After plowing one acre, they could drive into For the other mu, there is no need to rest in the middle. In one morning, most of the fields in the field hole have been plowed.

The villagers stood on the road watching the operation of the plow machine. After seeing the convenience and efficiency of the plow machine, they also saw business opportunities. They asked government officials about the price and difficulty of using the plow machine, and they tended to buy the plow machine to start a business , which is also what the town government is happy to see.

"What about this, we have a preferential policy to support it, and the purchase of a plow machine will also be used by the church..."

Ruan Xishi was standing on the ridge in the distance, seeing the plow machine bring so much convenience to the village, she was also happy.He seems to see that in the near future, the villagers will be able to live a life without worrying about food and clothing. At that time, the labor force demanded by the village will drop, and the children will be able to continue to go back to school.

In the afternoon, those who have already plowed the fields use iron rakes to repair the paddy fields, and they can directly transplant rice seedlings.

When Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze were planting rice seedlings in the field, they heard the people in the next-door field chatting passionately while planting the field.

"I heard that next spring we won't even need to transplant rice seedlings. The village chief plans to buy a rice transplanter for us to try out."

"It's not just that there is no need to transplant rice seedlings. I also heard that there is a powerful machine now. It is very convenient to harvest rice while walking in the field and pack the millet into bags."

"Oh, don't we have a lot of time as farmers?"

"Would you like to be free? You can develop a sideline business. Then we will set up a few small factories in the village. In a few years, our village will be developed."

Ruan Xishi listened to the chats of the farmers, and couldn't help but fantasize about what a new look it would be.

Thinking of this, he raised his head, and the westward sun shone on his upturned face, which seemed to be full of hope and anger.

He suddenly said to himself: "That's great."

Lu Ze, who was next to him, couldn't help laughing in relief when he heard his emotion, feeling that everything he had done was worthwhile.
