Chapter 114
After several meetings, Lin Lan could rest for a few more days, and Han Qingsong didn't go to the meeting, and started busy with the autumn harvest at home. At the moment, the production team is busy breaking corn and planing corn stalks. Generally speaking, it is still very busy.
Today, Lin Lan took wheat ears to cook dinner at home. Sanwang and Xiaowang sent some immature tender corn from the field. This was distributed by the production team at the field and asked each family to bring it back for cooking.
Yanyan ran over, "Teacher Lin, the brigade said that we are looking for our girls to pick up beans, and they will also be given work points."
Lin Lan asked them to go, "Girls, you have dinner at home, and I'll deliver the food."
Mai Sui and Yan Yan went to the courtyard, and San Wang pulled Xiao Wang to go as soon as he heard, "Let's go pick up beans, too."
Today, the yard is full of all kinds of grains, some of them are drying and waiting for threshing, and some are threshing. At the moment, was beating soybeans. was too tired to beating with flail. put on a donkey and pulled Luqi around in circles.
The donkey put on the blindfold and wandered around in a circle, and the scorched pods burst open. The member used a wooden fork to open the bean straws, and put the soybean grains underneath into the sack with a duster.
Soybeans are not small for the public grain task, so they grow more.
When paying public grains, the requirements are very strict, the moisture content must be removed, and the deficiencies must be removed. If the sun is not dry or there are deflated, the grade is low, and the price of soybeans is also very low, which is not cost-effective. So the brigade gathered a group of old people and children to pick out the deflated ones. Although you can use the jellyfish to bump, but the soybeans are too large and heavy, not so easy to operate, and may not be picked up quickly. But picking up beans is also tiring. can't bear to pick them up with head down on such a day.
Sanwang and Xiaowang ran away after picking them up for a while. They thought it was more appropriate to mow the grass, break the stick, and pick up the cotton. Picking up beans is too fucking.
Maisui couldn't stand it either, "Yanyan, let's go break the corn. Picking up the beans is dizzy and I don't know how to count."
Yanyan laughed, "Me too, seeing you are both dangling. What can I do? There are so many more."
It happened that Erwang and Shen Yu brought corn back with the truck.
Seeing Maisui's small face turned pale, Erwang's eyes were dizzy, and he wondered if she was sick, "What's wrong?"
Yanyan smiled and said, "We are tired of picking up beans."
Erwang ran to discuss with Shen Yu who was unloading the truck: "Brother Shen Yu, my sister and the others are dizzy from picking beans. Let's find a way to save them."
Shen Yu didn't know much about farm tools, but he still went to have a look with Erwang.
At this time, Yanyan accidentally sprinkled a dustpan soybean on the ground, and the round bean grains ran around, so embarrassed that she quickly took a broom to sweep.
Er Wang watched the plump soybeans roll around, but the deflated ones stayed in place. He had an idea: "If we get something, get out the full ones and stay deflated..." He pointed to the ground for everyone to see. , Sure enough, the plump soybeans rolled away, but the deflated ones couldn't move.
Shen Yu also had inspiration, "Let's make a simple gadget to let the plump soybeans roll down and the deflated ones to stay on it." He gestured, and Erwang and Mai Sui immediately understood.
Yanyan was also very interested. Several people brainstormed and quickly came up with various methods. After screening, they determined the more convenient one, and they went to the production team leader in charge of this area for advice.
The production team leader saw Erwang, so the celebrities of the secretary naturally didn't refuse, so they played with them.
Soon, they made a prototype, but the soybeans would still be squeezed together without rolling.
Mai Sui: "Let the cloth move at an oblique angle. Turn it like a bicycle, and you can drive the soybeans to roll down."
Shen Yu smiled, "Yes, we only need to make a swing handle or pedal, so that we can keep turning with the cloth belt."
There is a carpenter in the village. All you need to say is that the carpenter finds the small wooden gears that have appeared and presses them on them.
One end is high and the other is low. Pour the soybeans gently on the high end, turn and shake the cloth belt to start transmission, the full soybean bones roll down and fall into the big basket, while the deflated ones are left over there and stretched out directly. Fall into the bag on the other end.
So repeatedly.
"Wow, it worked!" Everyone was very happy.
Shen Yu and Er Wang slapped their hands, "The cooperation is good."
Erwang is also very happy, this is they use knowledge to solve the problems in production and life. This shows that knowledge is really useful, "If it wasn't for Shen Yu who knew a lot, we wouldn't have thought of it."
Shen Yu smiled and said: "Don't be humble, this is the idea you thought of."
Yanyan looked at them enviously.
They are all educated people. Shen Yu has already graduated from high school. At this time, high school was of an amazing level. In the words of the elderly, it was like a scholar. After all, most people don't go to school, or at least two or three years of elementary school, not many can go to junior high school. Erwang and Mai Sui can also continue to study. As long as they want to go, Captain Lin will supply them. They are so happy.
Mai Sui looked at Shang Yanyan with envy and sadness, and encouraged her: "As long as you want to study, you can ask us anytime. Studying is not in school."
Yanyan smiled at her gratefully, "Thank you."
Mai Sui pointed at Shen Yu: "You can ask Brother Shen Yu for advice."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Of course. Mai Sui is right. Learning is not limited to school. Chairman M said that if you live to grow old and learn, Captain Lin is self-taught, and so can you."
Yanyan laughed happily, her eyes full of hope.
Because Erwang Shen met a few people to make a simple small device to solve the trouble of picking up soybeans, the cadres of the brigade were surprised and happy, and came to visit one after another.
Han Yongfang seldom smiled so happily, "This year we will hand in soybeans. It must be a first-class. The children are good." Before, we had to arrange for some people to pick up beans day and night. Now it's fine. Two or three children It can be done, save labor and time.
"Here you..." Han Yongfang looked at them and said to the captain: "Do we have this charter and what rewards?"
The captain said in a rare and generous way: "I see that I can reward a hundred work points, and let them have a few people points." With this tool, it will be done once and for all, and there will be no trouble in the future.
How about rewarding work points? The children are very happy.
Finally, Shen Yu and Erwang each awarded 30 points, and Mai Sui and Yanyan each received 20 points.
The two girls were very happy, "Do we have it too? Haha."
Erwang: "Should we give it to the carpenter?"
The captain said: "The carpenter doesn't need it, he should have done this in the first place."
The children felt at ease, and Mai Sui and Erwang hurried home to report to Lin Lan. They got 50 work points all at once.
After hearing what they said, Lin Lan was also in love with You Rongyan.
"Big Brother Shen Yu is so good, he can do it as soon as the second brother said." Mai Sui smiled.
Lin Lan glanced at her, "Shen Zhiqing is great and you are also great, and you will be even better in the future." Her praise made Mai Sui and Erwang also very happy.
Lin Lan: "It's almost two o'clock. You two haven't eaten yet. Hurry up." She sent the food back to the farm to see it. She knew that the children were busy and didn't disturb her. She just heated the food in the pot. Just let them eat right now.
Mai Sui: "Brother Yanyan and Shen Yu haven't eaten either. I'll ask them to eat together."
Lin Lan: "...Alright."
After a while, Shen Yu and Yanyan followed Mai Sui, Lin Lan had already packed up and let them eat together.
Shen Yu brought a bottle of flowers. The vase was an ordinary canned bottle with daisies, red polygonum, and a few rose flowers and unknown vanilla. The color was delicate and fragrant.
"Captain Lin likes to put flowers, this is for you." He saw that there were seasonal flowers planted on the wall of Lin Lan's house and in front of the house. There were also canned jars and flowers in clay pots on the north window sill of Lin Lan's house, thinking that she must like flowers. It happened to be yesterday that he inserted a bottle and brought it over. Although it is not popular to plant flowers at this time, the wild flowers in the countryside are socialist grasses, so there is no problem.
Lin Lan took it, "It's so good-looking, thank you Shen Zhiqing."
Mai Sui smiled and said, "Brother Shen Yu, you still like to pick wild flowers. I thought only girls like to pick them."
At this time, there was no other meaning of home flowers and wild flowers, and Shen Yu naturally didn't know, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He smiled and said, "Xu Dongxing is not happy recently. When I was with him when I was relaxing, I saw the beautiful driving on the slope, so I couldn't help but pick two."
Lin Lan took out the flowers and put them in her vase, and let Shen Yu take the bottle back. At this time, the glass bottle was also a good thing.
After dinner, everyone continued to work, Mai Sui and Er Wang also went to the field to find Han Qingsong and the others.
In the evening, Han Qingsong and the children came back from work for dinner. Xiao Wang took out a straw hat made of bowls of flowers and various wild flowers, and tiptoed to Lin Lan: "Mother, my father gave you the flower hat."
Lin Lan quickly squatted down and let Xiao Wang put it on. Xiaowang: "Mother, you are wearing cool." She looked at Han Qingsong, and he nodded, "Jun."
Lin Lan laughed.
Sanwang: "Pick flowers and insert them every day from now on."
Lin Lan wore it for a while, then took it off and hung it on the door frame as a decoration. It looked pretty.
With the help of the soya-picking device, not only is it convenient for your team to pick up soya-beans, but the nearby teams also come to learn from it. This year, the soybean rations delivered by several of their brigade were all high-quality. Not only did they get praise from the commune, they also sold a lot of money. At the same time, the brigade also received 500 kilograms of fertilizer tickets.
While other educated youths heard that Shen Yu and Erwang were rewarded for improving their production tools, they also used their brains to offer ideas, improve existing farm tools or develop new farm tools, which set off a wave after another. Although there are few successes and not many that can play a greater role, it has allowed them to have a more harmonious relationship with the cadres and members of the brigade.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again in a blink of an eye.
Because the autumn harvest was not bad on this day, the production team gave the children a holiday and let them rest.
Lin Lan tidied and cleaned the house, and spent the accumulated meat, sugar, and non-staple food tickets to the supply and marketing cooperative. She first went to the supply and marketing agency to buy white sugar, moon cakes, and rice noodles, then went to the slaughter group to buy a catty of pork belly, and also bought a piece of pork liver, a piece of pig skin and a pig tail. She plans to make dumplings. She has to let her elder brother consolidate and learn how to make dumplings. In addition, you can sauté an onion and pork liver to supplement iron for the children. You can also use pig tails and pig skins to stew potatoes and radishes.
Lin Lan went home and found Sanwang and Xiaowang standing under the pomegranate tree, counting the pomegranate on the tree with their heads up.
"Brother Xiaowang, I'm counting six, how do you say five?"
"Little brother, there are five, just dropped another one."
"Ah-so melancholy."
Lin Lan smiled.
At this time, autumn is high and fresh, and the blue sky is deep and quiet. Fruits such as dates, persimmons, pomegranates, etc., look particularly moving under the blue sky of autumn. The fruit tree that her family planted at the beginning only bears the fruit. The pomegranate blooms red and gorgeous flowers in summer, and it bears more than a dozen pomegranates in the fall. As a result, it seems that one can not be kept even if one falls a day.
This can make Sanwang feel bad, and this is all his child's posture.
Sanwang was very melancholy, "Maybe we have seen it too many times and we have seen it? Hey."
Xiao Wang also looked up, "Maybe your wife is really a little shy."
Sanwang: "...I'm so handsome, so it should be shy."
Lin Lan: "..." Who will tell me, is there any cross-species sadomasochistic story that I don't know about?
Seeing Lin Lan's return, Xiaowang ran over and took her hand, and whispered softly: "Mother, the third brother is broken in love, and I'm feeling melancholy."
Lin Lan: "!!!"
When Sanwang heard it, he turned around and smiled bitterly with Lin Lan, wiping away tears, "Mother, I'm broken in love."
Xu Dongxing doesn't know what's wrong recently, so he often talks about melancholy. Zhao Mingjie said that he must have broken up in love, maybe because the secret lover who didn't go to the countryside together broke up, maybe because he likes others to be rejected, anyway, he looks like a broken relationship. Of course, Zhao Mingjie was also ignorant, so if he didn't know where he learned the words, he would tell Sanwang to listen to them.
Sanwang didn't understand what a broken relationship was, but he learned to be melancholy.
Lin Lan smiled and gave him a push, "Don't put gold on your face, where does the broken love come from?"
Xiaowang: "Mother, what is love?"
Lin Lan also popularized it with children during the promotion, and was not afraid of children asking, let them know what they should understand, "Love is when young men and women who grow up like each other and want to get married and become a family."
Xiaowang: "Just like mother and father."
Lin Lan nodded, "...Almost."
Sanwang cut, "Isn't that just looking for someone on a blind date? The people in the city are really interesting to talk." Those who are still in love, are out of love.
Lin Lan smiled and poked his finger, "Then you are still broken in love? Don't say it outside, it's shameful."
Sanwang pointed to the few fallen pomegranates, and said melancholy: "Hey, I am not called broken love, my pomegranate doll is gone."
Xiaowang grinned, "Mother, the third brother wants to eat pomegranates. He dreamed that the pomegranate tree was going to be his wife and said that he would give him a pomegranate doll to eat, hahaha."
Lin Lan: "………………"
The author has something to say: Sanwang: There are many wives, pomegranate trees, apricot trees, and peach trees, but jujube trees are not. Jujube flowers don't look good, I don't like them. Of course, I am not a superficial person. Although rose flowers are beautiful, it is not because she will not bear fruit. I am a person who pays attention to the unity of the outside and the inside.
Lin Lan: It's over. My son may really not find a wife. He was worried about the eldest son, so he thought the third son was orphan. Son, old mother would rather you fall in love early, anyway, at this time you can get married!
