Chapter 4 Communication between Farm Tools and Branches
"You can think about it. Mom doesn't want anything else, as long as she can find a virtuous wife like your second sister-in-law.
As for women, it doesn’t matter whether they are good-looking or not, whether they are tall, short, fat or thin. They just need to be nice and kind-hearted. Only such good women can have a prosperous husband.
If you meet those people who are like monsters, don’t mess with them. Those people are reincarnations of vixens who specialize in sucking men’s yang..."
"Mom, I know."
Li Muyang looked at the time and knew that he could not delay any longer.
Mother is so verbose, I don’t know when it will end.
"I'll put some leaves in the kang for you later. If it's hot, you can lift the quilt..."
As Li Muyang spoke, he helped his mother change the diaper underneath her.
When he first started taking care of his mother, he was still a little unaccustomed and a little embarrassed, but he thought there was nothing his mother couldn't take care of. He was her child, so what should he be afraid of?
Then I feel at ease.
He can't expect his sisters or sisters-in-law to do all these things, that's for him. If he is the only son and I don't have a wife, shouldn't I still take care of her?
But he agreed, but his mother disagreed. It was limited to changing diapers. If he wanted to go to the toilet, he would go to his second sister-in-law or his eldest sister-in-law.
The second sister-in-law usually doesn’t have any objections.
As for the sister-in-law, she was always mumbling, but in the end she didn’t refuse.
She is not a bad person, but she talks too much. She seems to be extremely strong and unwilling to give in on even the smallest things, but she can also level the water bowl when it comes to big matters.
After helping his mother take care of everything, Li Muyang rushed to his second brother's house.
Li Muyang's village is called Lijiacun, which is one of the many small villages surrounding the mountains at the foot of Taoshan Mountain.
There are about two to three hundred households in the village, more than a thousand people.
The mountain range to which Taoshan belongs is called Guozi Mountain. As the name suggests, various fruit trees grow on the mountain.
There are wild ones and human species.
Wild ones such as mountain apples, mountain peaches, mountain pears, mountain chestnuts, mountain plums, mountain jujubes, pears, mountain persimmons, mountain apricots, mountain cherries, etc...
There are two types of artificial planting.
One is a variety that was planted randomly in the early years.
Mainly small seedlings such as mountain apricot and mountain pear.
The most difficult thing to deal with on the Loess Plateau is soil erosion and soil desertification. In the early years, under the call of the government, everyone had to volunteer to plant trees.
Basically, a production team contracts several hills, and it will be over when the planting is completed.
At that time, saplings were delivered in trucks and trucks, and they were as thick as a thumb.
Planting trees is not an easy task.
No matter how small the tree is, it is necessary to dig a tree pit, fill it with water and put fertilizer. After the tree is planted, it is necessary to cultivate the soil and wrap the small tree.
If you follow the steps strictly like this, because the climate is dry, the survival rate will not be particularly high.
What's more, doing voluntary work is just a waste of time. It depends on the time but not the effect. Two hours counts as one centimeter, and people are too lazy to count centimeters. As for what the tree will look like and whether it will grow, that is another matter.
Things.
Who can control the long term?
Just get the centimeters mixed.
Centimeters can reduce or reduce the amount of public grain turned over. If it is not used, it can also be converted into money to subsidize it.
Therefore, people plant trees very casually.
Basically, you dig a hole at will. You won't dig it to 80 centimeters as required, and you will probably just throw the saplings in when it is 20 or 30 centimeters.
If you are too lazy, you won’t even bother to carry the water to pour it, let alone put fertilizer in it.
If you plant like this every day, half of the trees that will survive will not survive.
But that’s okay.
Village committees and town councils have organized such activities again and again. If it doesn’t work this time, we will continue to make up for it next time.
Even if only half of the trees survive each time, over time, the entire fruit mountain will gradually be covered by fruit trees.
Guozi Mountain is a small winding mountain range that connects many different hills.
Basically, the mountain is named after the fruit trees on the mountain.
Therefore, there are names such as Taoshan, Xingshan, Lishan, etc.
There are dozens of small villages scattered along the mountains. The larger ones are like Lijia Village, with a population of one or two thousand people.
In small villages, there are also thirty or forty households, with a maximum of three to four hundred people.
In later years, small villages slowly began to merge, and they basically became villages of about two to three thousand people.
Along Guozi Mountain to the west, there is a large valley called Malian Valley.
The length of Malian Valley is unknown. The terrain of the natural chasm divides the east and west into two mountain ranges.
The east side is called Guoziling, and the west side is called Xishan.
Although Xishan is only separated from Guoziling by a canyon, it no longer belongs to Qingquan Town, or even Chi County, but belongs to Yong'an County, which is also under the jurisdiction of QY City.
Yongan County and Chi County are adjacent to each other, but their relationship is very general.
There are very long historical reasons.
It is said that in the early years, Yong'an County did not belong to Qingyang, but to other prefecture-level cities. Later, the area was re-divided. Based on the principle of easier management, it was separated from the original city and placed under the jurisdiction of QY City.
But in fact, the customs, dialects, accents, and even nationalities of the people in the two places are very different.
Therefore, people in the two counties often have some conflicts.
It’s not particularly big, just a few hundred people, using farm tools and tree branches to communicate deeply with each other.
Interestingly, the county seat of Yong'an County is far away from Malian Valley. If the communication is too thorough, you need to go to the hospital to see the degree of battle damage. People in Yong'an County have to endure the humiliation and go to Chi County People's Hospital for examination.
It seems like a black absurd comedy.
Li Muyang has lived in this place for generations and has long been accustomed to the cultural environment here.
He had seen descriptions of the customs and customs of his hometown in some novels, and felt that they were not very fair.
In order to stimulate conflicts in the novel, many ordinary things are always artistically processed and become extreme.
The fact is that the people here are not as ignorant as described in the book, but they are not as kind and tolerant as in the book.
To put it simply, the people around Guozi Mountain are just like the civets on the mountain.
Don't mess with me, I won't bother to pay attention to you.
If you push me too hard, I will bite you even if I die.
The most primitive simplicity is truth, kindness is true kindness, and the villain's face is also treacherous truth.
No matter good or bad, it has nothing to do with hypocrisy.
The village where Li Muyang lives is called Lijiacun.
Except for the married young daughters-in-law and some sons-in-law who came to marry into the family, everyone else in the village was surnamed Li.
The families in Lijia Village are like bags of cotton dropped from the sky, scattered on the ground casually.
Some groups are large, with several families living close to each other.
Some groups have small groups, so there are only two or three groups.
There are also some individual small cotton grains, which are single households and single courtyards, kept at a distance from the surrounding homes.
Anyway, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the bank base is also very casual.
There is no need to worry about whose tree blocks whose sun, whose chicken eats whose green vegetable seedlings.
Get together if you have something to do, and go home if you have nothing to do.
This is the daily life of people in Lijia Village.
Li Muyang came to a courtyard built against the mountain, with about an acre of land. The courtyard walls were made of red bricks, the roof was made of gray tiles, there were flying corners on the eaves, and there were locust trees behind the walls. It looked very elegant.
