Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

Chapter 83 Winter 01 [VIP]

After the autumn harvest, the field holes became bare. Because of the drought, not even weeds grew, only half of the straw and dry and cracked soil remained.

After harvesting the millet, the pace of life in the village slowed down again, and the school resumed normal classes.

Lidong is coming soon, but the village is located in a low latitude area, even in winter, it is still sunny and warm.

This kind of weather is actually very suitable for outdoor activities. During the break, the students rushed to the field to bask in the sun and play games. They were very lively.

Ruan Xishi was sitting on the edge of the court, watching the students play games with Lu Ze, the sun in the winter afternoon warmly shone on everyone, it was very comfortable.Ruan Xishi narrowed his eyes slightly from the sun, and he was infected by the children's freedom and joy, and his mood also improved. He suddenly suggested whimsically, "Why don't we take the children to the field cave for a picnic?"

After hearing this, Lu Ze turned to look at him: "Picnic? How about a picnic?"

Ruan Xishi said: "When I was young, I had a picnic with my grandfather. The students brought pots, kettles, bowls and chopsticks, vegetables, noodles or rice, sweet potatoes and cassava from home to the harvested fields for a picnic. Everyone worked together to cook in the wild. Eating has a special taste, which can not only exercise children's ability to survive in the wild, but also deepen their friendship and learn to unite and help each other."

Lu Ze thought about how a group of children were cooking in the fields, and felt that it was quite suitable for Ruan Xishi, so he said, "Yes, do I need to prepare anything for the picnic?"

Ruan Xishi: "Talk to the students in advance, let them go home to consult their parents, and then prepare the tools for the picnic. We can go to the town and buy some food for them. It's actually not too troublesome."

Lu Ze nodded: "Okay, let's go for a picnic."

When school was about to leave, Ruan Xishi assigned the children homework for the weekend, and then told the children that they would organize a picnic next Monday afternoon, asking them to prepare things for the picnic at home besides doing their homework on the weekend.

The children really got excited when they heard it, they didn't even pack their school bags, they sat or stood up, and asked Ruan Xishi about the picnic.

Although the students of this year have not experienced picnics, they should have heard about picnics from their brothers and sisters before going to school. At that time, they were not eligible to participate in picnics, but now they have the opportunity to have picnics after they go to school .

The children in the village are very wild and love to be close to nature. Outdoor activities such as picnics are simply the greatest pleasure for them. They don’t have to go to class, but they can also play outside and eat, which is what the children wish for.

"Mr. Ruan, what do we need to prepare?"

"Mr. Ruan, where shall we go for a picnic?"

Ruan Xishi smiled and answered one by one: "Which one of you has extra pots can you bring, maybe five or six pots, there are so many people in our class, I'm afraid it won't be enough to cook if there are fewer, if you have a tripod, you can also bring it, and then you won't need it Now that the stove is set up, everyone brings their own bowls and chopsticks, as well as a few spoons. Then, if there are noodles, eggs, sweet potatoes, taro, cassava, etc. at home, we can also bring them. We can bake them and eat them. If there are other foods, we can also bring them Come and share with everyone."

"Okay, I'll bring a pot then!"

"Mr. Ruan, we have a tripod at home!"

"My uncle's family has chickens and they lay a lot of eggs. When the time comes, I will ask my mother to go to their house to get some and bring them back for a picnic!"

……

Ruan Xishi was pleased to see them happily discussing the picnic. Seeing that they were discussing non-stop, they had already finished school but had no intention of going home at all. Fearing that they would be late and their family members would be worried, she urged them to say: "Okay!" Well, you guys should go home and prepare for the picnic, now that school is over, you should go home quickly."

The students brought their schoolbags, said goodbye to Ruan Xishi, and walked out of the classroom in groups, discussing the picnic while walking, all of them were full of anticipation for the picnic.

Ruan Xishi waited for the children to leave before slowly closing the doors and windows of the classroom and leaving the school.

Ruan Xishi stopped for a while when passing by the land where the new school was going to be built. The site of the new school was chosen in the deserted land next to the stadium. Because the soil was not good, this land had not been cultivated for a long time and was overgrown with weeds.The village chief felt that instead of leaving it deserted, it would be better to use it to build a school. He hoped that the area of ​​the project would be large enough and it was close to the stadium. By then, the stadium could also be surrounded by the school and used as an activity place for students. , So the land was finalized to build the school.

The cement road in the village has been repaired, and the construction team will transport the building materials to the village in a few days to start building the school. If the efficiency is high, the children may be able to attend classes in the new school next spring.

At that time, earth-shaking changes will take place in the village, and the good days are coming soon.

Back home, Lu Ze was preparing to cook. Ruan Xishi changed into the clothes he was going to work in the field, and said to Lu Ze: "Brother Lu Ze, if you have finished cooking, eat it before I come back. I'll go to the pepper field to see the peppers."

Hearing this, Lu Ze came out of the kitchen with the pot, and asked, "Are you going for a long time? Do you want me to go with you? We can come back soon after we're done."

Ruan Xishi said: "No need, I just went to have a look, I should be back soon, just wait for me at home."

Lu Ze watched him go out, and told him again: "Then you have to come back early, it's getting dark very early now."

Ruan Xishi had already walked out of the house, she turned her head and waved at him: "I know."

After a period of growth, the peppers in the field turned dark green into deep red, and the growth of each one was gratifying. The big ones were as long and thick as a little finger, and the small ones were not too small.A tree of red peppers is at least two or two weights when picked, and a hundred peppers are planted in five cents of the land, and there can be 40 catties of peppers at a time. According to the market purchase price of two yuan per catty, you can earn 200 yuan Money, if it can be collected once a week, it will be about [-] yuan a month. Although it is not as profitable as Lu Ze's passenger, it can also reduce the family burden a little.

Ruan Xishi took a look at the peppers, and planned to come tomorrow morning to pick off the ripe ones, and sell them when he went to the town to buy things for a picnic the day after tomorrow.

The soybeans interplanted in the chili field have begun to wither, and the pods are clustered in bunches. Ruan Xishi put on gloves, cut off the bean sprouts from the roots with a sickle, and bundled them with weeds, so that the pods would not crack easily without withering Let’s go, take it home first, otherwise there won’t be much left when we bounce beans along the way.

Lu Ze made dinner and kept the dishes in a pot to keep warm. Worried that Ruan Xishi would not come back for a long time, he simply went out to find someone to come home for dinner.

Not long after he walked out of the house, he saw Ruan Xishi's back facing the twilight returning figure from a distance, and carrying two unknown things, which looked very heavy and bent his waist.

Lu Ze walked over quickly, took the burden from Ruan Xishi's shoulder without saying a word, and picked it up easily. Only then did he realize that the burden was bean sprouts. Reasonable, more-more-exquisite-color-respect-please-close-note.The plan is that the soybeans planted in the pepper field can be harvested.

Ruan Xishi's shoulder lightened, only to realize that the burden was on Lu Ze's shoulder, he rubbed the painful shoulder ashamedly, followed behind Lu Ze and said, "Brother Lu Ze, why did you come out, have you eaten yet? "

Lu Ze carried a load of bean sprouts and walked in front of him briskly, without blushing or panting, he replied, "I just made it and haven't eaten it yet, so I'll call you home to eat together."

Looking at Lu Ze's tall and reliable figure, Ruan Xishi felt that happiness was about to overflow from her heart, and curled the corners of her mouth happily.

At dinner, Lu Ze dug two spoonfuls of minced chili pickled by Ruan Xishi some time ago from the jar and put them in the seasoning bowl. The canned chili made by Ruan Xishi was delicious, hot and sour, and it went well with vegetables when dipped in it.

Ruan Xishi held the bowl and watched Lu Ze put the dish dipped in red chili and put it into his mouth. He felt that his mouth was about to drool, but he still asked Lu Ze to eat less.

"The weather is very dry now, eating too spicy can cause nosebleeds, brother Lu Ze, you should eat less."

Lu Ze has been used to spicy taste since he was a child. This chili pepper is nothing to him. It is very refreshing for him to eat. When watching TV at night, he hugged Ruan Xishi and wanted to kiss Ruan Xishi, but Ruan Xishi disliked him. It's spicy.

For this reason, he brushed his teeth three times before taking a bath, until there was no trace of spicy smell left, and then he was able to kiss Ruan Xishi as he wished.

Ruan Xishi got up early the next morning to make breakfast, and when Lu Ze was eating breakfast, he heard him say that he was going to pick peppers in the field, so he also volunteered to go with him.

Ruan Xishi found two dry plastic buckets that used to hold feed, one was carried by Lu Ze, and the other was carried by himself, and used to hold peppers when he was able to pick peppers.

Going to the pepper field, Ruan Xishi showed Lu Ze how to pick peppers. He picked some red peppers and said to Lu Ze: "After a while, you can pick all the red peppers, the ones with worms or spots. Throw it away at home, and you have to pick it off together with the stalk, otherwise it won’t last long, we picked it today and sold it tomorrow.”

Lu Ze watched Ruan Xishi's teaching seriously, and picked a few by himself. After Ruan Xishi said it was ok, he devoted himself to the work of picking peppers.

The two of them picked peppers from one field each, and changed them when they finished picking one piece. Soon, a lot of red peppers were put in the bucket.

Lu Ze took a moment to look at the fruits of his labor. Seeing more and more peppers, he felt more and more fulfilled. When he finished picking the three fields that belonged to him, he went to Ruan Xishi with a bucket of peppers to ask for credit. Ruan Xishi also had a bucket full, so it can be said that they returned with a full load today.

Because it was picked by two people, the peppers in Wufen were picked in only one morning. It was just noon when we got home. Ruan Xishi sent Lu Ze to take a bath. He poured the peppers into a snakeskin bag and weighed them with a scale. Over ten catties.

Winter peppers are easy to sell, and there are quite a few people who accept them. The price should be maintained at more than two yuan. Ruan Xishi looked at a bag of red peppers, just like seeing a bag of money.

Lu Ze came out of the shower and asked him, "How many catties of peppers did we pick?"

Ruan Xishi put the soybean seedlings collected last night out in the patio to bask in the sun, and replied: "It's 22 catties, we can make another fortune tomorrow."

Lu Ze was also very happy. Seeing him drying the bean sprouts, he asked curiously, "Why are you drying this?"

Ruan Xishi spread out the bean sprouts and said, "Dry it in the sun when the weather is good, then the beans will be easy to come out, and the dried bean sprouts can be used as fuel, which is more resistant to burning than peanut sprouts."

Lu Ze had to marvel at the wisdom of the villagers again, as if anything could be useful in their hands.

On Sunday morning, Lu Ze took Ruan Xishi and half a snakeskin bag of peppers to the town.

First of all, they went to the market to sell the peppers first, and set up a stall at the original location. In fact, there are buyers in the town, but the price will be much cheaper, and they only have about [-] catties of peppers, so it seems possible to sell them loose.

However, Ruan Xishi's calculations were wrong. Peppers are not as popular as vegetables. After all, they cannot be eaten as vegetables. Customers demand less. If you buy a few taels, you can eat them for many days.

They stayed in the market for a long time before they sold a few catties of peppers. More than half of them were purchased by the owner of a food stall. Seeing that their peppers were fresh and cheap, they bought two catties at once. Only two.

Although it is said that it can be sold for four or five yuan a catty, it took too long, and the loss outweighed the gain. Seeing noon, Ruan Xishi himself was a little hungry, let alone Lu Ze. He looked at the remaining half of the chili peppers. , was extremely frustrated, and finally had no choice but to let Lu Zeyun go to the buyer to sell it.

The price given by the purchaser is two yuan a catty. I don’t know what he is using it for, but no matter what it is used for, it is a huge profit. Even if it is supplied to a supermarket, the price of one tael is worth a catty. The price has been charged.

But who told them that these farmers have no way out, they can only let others slaughter them.

When they came out selling chili peppers, they met acquaintances in the village. When the acquaintances saw them selling chili peppers, they kindly reminded him: "Shizai, this is your first time selling chili peppers. Let me tell you, don't rush to pick chili peppers in the future. Wait for someone in the village to inquire about the price of the previous day before you decide whether to pick it or not. If the price is good, you pick it and sell it. If the price is low, you wait a little longer. A lot."

Ruan Xishi nodded in response, but Lu Ze thought of another way.

After selling the peppers, Ruan Xishi took Lu Ze to the wholesale department to buy food for the picnic. It is not enough for the children to bring things from home for the picnic, because every household in the village is in the same situation, and there should not be too many things to buy. Spoil the kids.

Ruan Xishi bought several bags of ham sausage and a few bundles of noodles for the children to have a picnic. After spending the money for selling peppers today, it can be said that these two days have been a waste of work, but for the sake of the children's happiness, Ruan Xishi did not feel regretful Now, he went to buy some tangerines. Now tangerines are cheap, ten yuan can buy a few catties, enough for the children to share.

When it came to Monday, there was still class to be paid in the morning, but the students were obviously not focused on their studies, and while Ruan Xishi was writing on the blackboard with his back to them, they all looked out the windows one by one.

Ruan Xishi naturally noticed their absent-mindedness. Although she could understand the children's excitement, she still wanted them to study hard.

"Before school is over, I will randomly check your endorsements. If any of you can't recite, the picnic in the afternoon will be cancelled."

Ruan Xishi pretended to be serious and threatened.

When the students heard this, they immediately sat upright and looked at the blackboard, and read to Ruan Xishi seriously, for fear that they would not be able to memorize it, Ruan Xishi really refused to let them go to the picnic.

While Lu Ze was at home by himself, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhu Wen. During this period of time, Lu Ze rarely looked for Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen was happy to be free, and even had time to go to the branch office in the city to study and study. When he received a call from Lu Ze At that time, Zhu Wen was enjoying a wonderful morning tea with his colleagues in Starbucks.

Zhu Wen lazily leaned on the soft sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, basking in the warm sun, listening to soothing music, and there were several young and beautiful OLs sitting opposite him, lamenting that this is what he should live To live, not to be a slovenly nerd in a small hotel.

At this moment, his cell phone rang, and he picked it up from the table. When he saw that the call was from Lu Ze, he suddenly shrank. Lu Ze called him, which meant that he was going back to the chicken. A small place that doesn't lay eggs and birds don't shit anymore.

But what can be done, who told him that he was just a poor, weak and helpless wage earner.

Zhu Wen sorted out his demeanor, and answered the phone in a serious manner: "Hello, Mr. Lu, do you have any orders?"

Lu Ze said: "You go to a nearby supermarket or restaurant and say that you have a batch of fresh peppers that can be supplied, and the purchase price can be set by the other party. Then you come to the village this weekend and bring a truck, like the last purchase. Sanhua Li buys peppers like that, and the price is set at four yuan a catty."

Zhu Wen complained silently while writing it down: Boss Lu must be trying to please his little boyfriend again, so he spared no expense to buy peppers, and dragged him into acting together, hmph.

I thought so in my heart, but Zhu Wen still played the role of his assistant very well, and he responded well.

Finally, he suddenly thought of a serious matter: "Mr. Lu, how should I contact the retailer?"

Lu Ze said irresponsibly: "This is something you should consider. I believe that with your professional level, this should be a trivial matter."

Zhu:"……"

All right, who called himself an assistant.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze led dozens of students from the repaired village road to Tiandong.

The children are like flying birds, talking and laughing along the way, and some are lively and active, and play and fight.After the roads in the village were repaired, there were more cars. Ruan Xishi and Lu Zede always paid attention to the students' situation and reminded them to walk well.

The hole in the field is flat, and there is only a bunch of withered and yellow straw left, which makes a crunchy sound when stepped on. The children scattered and ran in all directions after leaving the field. Ruan Xishi cared about the younger children and could only tell them to walk slowly. .

They found a flat and spacious place and started to build a stove and pot. Ruan Xishi asked the older boy and Lu Ze to go to the foot of the nearby mountain to find firewood, and the girl and the younger children followed him to process the ingredients in the base camp.

Some students brought several gallon barrels of well water from home, just enough to wash and cook things. Ruan Xishi washed the sweet potatoes and taro that the students brought from home, put them in a pot, and waited for the boys to come back with firewood. Use straw as a fire starter on the tripod, put in firewood and cook.

Ruan Xishi cleaned another pot and asked the girl to help him light the fire. When the water boiled, he poured the peanut oil he brought from home into it, took apart the noodles he bought in the town yesterday and poured them in, stirred them with chopsticks, and waited for the noodles to soften. Yes, put in salt, crack a few eggs in, and the egg noodles are ready.

Lu Ze felt that the firewood was enough, so he took the boys back to the base camp from the foot of the mountain.Each of them was holding a bundle of firewood, and they could smell the aroma of egg noodles in the wind from a distance, so they rushed back one by one, put the firewood on the ground, and then swarmed to the pot, chirping around Ruan Xishi. Said: "Mr. Ruan, are the noodles ready to eat?"

Ruan Xishi turned her head to look at them, the boys are busy with things, let them find a firewood, which can make their whole bodies dirty, and now only their eyes are still shining, staring at the noodles in the pot like a group of hungry little wild cats , making people feel pitiful and cute.Ruan Xishi sent them off with a smile and said, "It's almost done, you guys go and wash your hands and faces, and bring your own bowls over here to line up to share the noodles."

As soon as the children heard that they were ready to eat, they cheered and ran to wash their hands. They were dishonest in washing their hands. They crowded each other and played with water. The fields were full of their laughter.

Lu Ze put down the firewood in his hand, and squatted next to Ruan Xishi to watch Ruan Xishi cook the noodles, with a gentle and focused expression.

Ruan Xishi noticed him, turned her head and smiled at him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Ze was dazzled by his bright smile, and laughed too: "It's not hard."

The children quickly came to line up with their own bowls. Ruan Xishi took the bowls in their hands and gave each of them two chopsticks of noodles. Because there were too many people and the noodles were limited, each child had to share, so only Let them take a few bites to experience the fun of a picnic, anyway, there will be other food to eat later.

The children don't mind how much noodles they have. They often eat noodles at home, but they are cooked during a picnic. Everyone contributes, and the noodles taste different from what they usually eat. Everyone eats happily.

After distributing to the children, there was still some left in the pot, Ruan Xishi asked Lu Ze with a smile, "Do you want some too?"

Seeing the children happily sitting on the ridge with their bowls and eating noodles happily, Lu Ze suddenly wanted to eat noodles, so he said to Ruan Xishi, "Then have some."

Ruan Xishi fished out the leftover noodles for him to eat, but she went to watch the fire of cooking sweet potatoes. Everyone was eating, but he was the only one who was busy.

Lu Ze took two mouthfuls of noodles, and seeing that he hadn't eaten, he leaned over and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Ruan Xishi said: "There's not much left, you can just eat it, I'm not hungry yet, just to see if the sweet potatoes are ripe, later the children will be clamoring for sweet potatoes again."

Hearing this, Lu Ze took a chopsticks of noodles from the bowl, put it to Ruan Xishi's mouth naturally, and said, "Ah, come and have a bite, don't starve after working for a long time."

Ruan Xishi smiled with her eyes narrowed, and opened her mouth cooperatively to eat the noodles that Lu Ze fed.

The children were only interested in being happy, no one noticed their movements, even if they saw them, they wouldn't think it was strange, they would just think that Mr. Ruan worked so hard, fortunately, Mrs. Lu gave him something to eat.

After eating the noodles, the sweet potato and taro were cooked. Ruan Xishi lifted the pot to dry, and then called the children to come and eat. The children each took one and started eating happily again.

Because there were so many people, two pots of sweet potatoes and taro were only enough for one person. After the children finished taking them, there was only one sweet potato and one taro left. Ruan Xishi took the taro and left the sweet potato for Lu Ze. The two of them sat on the ground, peeled and ate.

The sweet potato is very sweet, but the taro has no taste. After eating two bites of the sweet potato, Lu Ze saw that Ruan Xishi was nibbling the taro slowly, so he stuffed the remaining half of the sweet potato into his hand, and took the remaining half of it from his hand. Taro, said to the bewildered Ruan Xishi: "Let's exchange it for food, so we can have two kinds of food?"

Ruan Xishi laughed, opened his mouth and continued to eat from where Lu Ze had eaten, and Lu Ze also ate half of the taro that Ruan Xishi had eaten.

After the children had eaten, they had the strength to play. Ruan Xishi let them move freely in the field, but be careful not to run too far. After the children were free, they ran to play in groups.Some play eagles to catch chickens, some play to catch people, some make things out of straw, some dig mouse holes, some bake sweet potatoes, and there are children's laughter everywhere.

Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze sat side by side on the ridge of the field and looked at the children playing not far away, and their mood became happier. Some children got thirsty halfway through the game, so Ruan Xishi took out the sugar oranges he bought yesterday, and called the children to come over. Eat in two.

The fruit is not something you can eat whenever you want. The children were happier after getting the fruit. Thanks to Ruan Xishi, they went back to continue the game.

Ruan Xishi broke a sugar orange and gave half to Lu Ze.The tangerine is very sweet, and it leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth after eating.

Lu Ze thought while eating, the taste was just like what Ruan Xishi gave him.
