Life of a hundred flavors (23)

The autumn wind rises and the rain continues.

The small village is surrounded by farmland, and the crops in autumn are almost ripe, either corn or sorghum. The wind passes through these crops, like green waves rolling, the sound is even more surging than the waves.

At night, the sound of the wind blowing the windows, the sound of the rain hitting the window lattices, and the sound of green waves from afar, and the swaying light of the red candle, which is even more beautiful.

A night of storms, and it is not sunny to wake up early.

The Fourth Master raised his hand and touched him before he opened his eyes. The person was still beside him and was sleeping soundly. He looked sideways, and when he turned over, he made a rustling sound from his body and the pillow. Tongtong was afraid that the kang would be too hard and there were not so many mattresses, so he looked for the clean wheat straw, and made a thick mattress underneath. This one was spread on the kang, and then lay the mattress on the mattress.

Soft is really soft and it is indeed a warm function. But it is just a little bit, and the straw will make a sound when it moves.

The same goes for this pillow, with chopped wheat straw inside.

Without silkworm sand, it is okay to have buckwheat skin at least.

He is going to settle for this year, but Tongtong is going to settle for this even more.

Now, people have woken up too.

When the person wakes up, he comes over and rubs. He squints his eyes and grunts here and there. He has to wait patiently for her to finish it before he can get up.

Only the light of the window was shining through, proving that the sky was not clear yet. The rain hit the leaves of the hungry tung trees in the yard, and it was rustling. It seemed that there was no possibility of going to the ground today. He looked up and stroked her hair back. The ends were a little yellow, either malnutrition or lacked time and energy to maintain it.

At this time, he kept stroking his abdominal muscles, rubbing them back and forth, with no rules at all, and the rubbing made him feel itchy. He held it down, and it was slightly rough from the belly of his fingertips to the palm of his palm.

"Have you used up the Chinese medicine I bought before?" he asked.

No! Tongtong shook her head and rubbed her chin against the Fourth Master's chest, "I don't have time during the day, but at night... I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

There is only Lin Daniu at home, so it is not appropriate to wrap medicine in your hands if you have something to do.

"I'll give you a bag tonight."

"..." Isn't it a bag? "I still want to make some persimmon vinegar by myself."

I understand! She still can't get used to the soy sauce and vinegar from the supply and marketing cooperative. Now the vinegar is made directly with vinegar essence and water, and maggots are growing in the jar of the soy sauce in summer. Therefore, when Tongtong cooks these days, it is good to keep the original flavor as much as possible. It is good to have a little salt and five-spice powder. The five-spice powder is still made by homemade, so what kind of ingredients are found?

Nowadays, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all major issues, "I will cover it with you before going to bed at night."

Yes! That's fine.

As he spoke, Lin Yutong sat up, and the Fourth Master got up. As for his new son-in-law, he still lives with his father-in-law. He gets up early and sweeps the yard, so he has to show off!

When I wake up early, I can't sweep the yard even if I open it. The soil yard is wet, and the tung leaves are stuck to the ground. The rain must stop and the weather will be sunny.

Lin Daniu got up earlier, but he made noises before he even came together. He only moved a bench under the newly built hall in the front yard and sat down to see the weaving mat.

"Dad!" The Fourth Master came out and shouted.

Lin Daniu was stunned for a moment before nodding. When the new son-in-law called out, he was somewhat uncomfortable, "Have you got up?"

Ah! Get up.

Lin Daniu put down his work and said, "Come and wash it off." He got up and slapped off the grass clippings on his body, grabbed the shoulder pole leaning against the gate. In a corner of the small hall, there were two iron buckets upside down, which was to carry water.

After the village moved here, Xin dug a well here. The well was located at the entrance of the brigade department, which was a little far away from here. The Fourth Master dug a pressure well when he lived opposite him. In the past, he sent the water here by the way. Now he has given a test station there, and it is not convenient for others to enter and exit, "I'll go!" It's raining and the road is slippery, so just get water from nearby.

Lin Daniu didn't rob it. The Fourth Master carried two loads and it was only enough for the time being, so he discussed with Lin Daniu, "Let's go back and drill a pressure well for our yard, which is convenient."

If you think about tap water, judging from the current attitude, it would be great if you could get it in the 1980s. In the future, you can’t fetch water every day?

The father-in-law and son-in-law instantly abandoned the embarrassment of becoming a family. They stood under the straw shed in the yard and arranged where to dig a well.

The yard is new, and the tung trees in the yard are also small seedlings that have moved from elsewhere. However, the tung trees are particularly fond of growing, and they seem to be able to escape after a rain. The small tung trees are as thick as arms, hollow as they are, and they are not explained at all. The leaves are larger than the leaves of tung trees all year round, and they can block the rain when they are held on top of their heads.

The Fourth Master said, "Just dig that place, and create vegetable fields on both sides, leave a canal in the middle, and take out a water outlet as big as a fist on the wall."

Getting a well is not complicated, the difficult thing is where the iron lump on it comes from.

This is not a problem for the Fourth Master, "Those drivers can travel far and know everything they do. Don't worry about this, just ask someone to bring one back."

Lin Yutong was cooking in the kitchen and asked the Fourth Master inside, "Do you want to make more charcoal in private?"

"It's cold, so many units can't approve coal." The Fourth Master responded outside, "There is a farm tool factory next to the provincial capital, not big. Lao Liao's brother-in-law is in charge of logistics there. He worked together last time, but there is no big problem."

The coal mine is right next to you, and the Fourth Master is very familiar with many people. Is it really okay to get coal from other places, relying on favors or other exchanges for a few trucks of coal? If it doesn't work, it's okay to find Zhou Pengsheng.

This person is not deported, but he has a very broad relationship with Lin Daniu. He knows Lin Daniu at a loss. No matter what status the two of them are, they have no effect on their relationship. Therefore, Lin Daniu also said, "If you want to find other people, it is better to find you Uncle Zhou. He won't do anything else, he is reliable."

There was one more person at home and a pair of chopsticks were added to the dining table, and the atmosphere was different.

The rice for early morning is simple, steamed dumplings of leek vermicelli, a bowl of millet porridge per person, and a plate of sour cucumbers soaked. This is breakfast. It is much more luxurious than the food that most people add.

After breakfast, Lin Daniu had to go to work. But Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master didn't need it, so they had a few days of marriage leave.

It was raining, Lin Yutong quickly took the raincoat and rain boots. This was given by the unit, and there were two sets. "I will send it to you at the end of the year, so don't be reluctant to wear it."

Complete! Can't I wear it?

"There is a security department, please don't do the inspection work. It's great to play cards in the warehouse for a day!"

I know! I will definitely not go.

Now that the corn is about to come down, the sweet potatoes can be eaten even if they are stolen. It is normal for the farm to be stolen, and it is not easy to see that the crops are stolen at all. If it were usual, the stolen people were either around or the families of the farm's own employees and their families were still in a position, but now the power plant is about to start construction, and even the command center has been built. There are also workers and temporary workers recruited from all over the place, coming to this side one after another. The people around suddenly become complicated. If you really catch such a person, what should you do to break free from the other party's heavy move? What should you do if you fail?

This has to be considered.

This is not good for holding a position in a trade union. You have to take the lead in anything, and you can't even hide it.

It seems that we still have to find Feng Suo. He had promised to transfer Lin Daniu to the power station before to the agenda.

Lin Daniu enjoyed his daughter's care, responded and smiled on his face, but when doing work, how can you do it everywhere?

He went out and obviously didn't take it to heart.

The Fourth Master called Tongtong Anxin, "Don't you want to be jealous? You pack up the empty tank at home and I'll go and have a look."

Tongtong's worries are not unreasonable! He didn't go far, so he went directly to the police station, borrowed the phone number, and called the farm leader's office, "Director Wang, I was thinking that the power plant is a brother unit. There are many workers everywhere there, so I plan to draw two young people from the test field to form a condolence team with our old comrades. Others can't help, but the supply of hot water will be provided by us. Can you do it? The weather is getting colder and colder, and this project cannot be completed in a short time, and it may not be possible at this time next year. Boil some ginger soup in winter and make some mung bean soup in summer. It's not big, just warm your heart. You also know that this electricity..."

I understand! Electricity is used more in the future, so everyone must deal with such units. "Xiao Jin, this is a good suggestion. How many people do you think?"

"Two people pulling water, two people boiling water in shifts, four people are enough." The Fourth Master said, "I'm going to call Li Weihong and Wang Haijun here..."

Wang Haijun is the nephew of Director Wang.

Director Wang understood what the other party meant, and wanted to take a few opportunities to send people to the power plant? Why did he put his nephew in the experimental field? First, he could get some practical benefits, and second, he was always easier than the farm. When working on the farm, it was the same as a farmer. He was just a farmer with a salary. If he went to the power plant, his welfare benefits would be much better than the benefits of the test station, and it was easier than in the test station.

When someone mentioned his nephew, it was clear that he wanted to reach an exchange of interests with himself.

Director Wang immediately responded, "Lin Daniu is an old comrade and has great prestige among the workers. If you send the young ones over there, then I will ask Lao Lin and Lao Zhou to go over."

Lin Daniu gave an exchange, and as for Zhou Pengsheng, he was just selling Zhou Pengsheng for face.

Lin Daniu took off his raincoat and put on the snakeskin bag to go out. He was notified to go to the farm office. Then he was told that when the weather cleared, he would take people there to build a stove and boil water.

To be honest, is there any work in this world that is easier than this?

Make a straw shed, a simple stove, and two large pots, just put them there to cook.

In winter, it is warm before the fire, but in summer, it is outdoors. The surrounding covers are removed and the breeze blows, which is so comfortable. When it needs a lot of hot water, it is cold and in front of the stove. When it doesn’t require hot water, it is a decoration! A good job for retirement.

After coming out of Director Wang's office, Zhou Pengsheng patted Lin Daniu, "You have been so happy that you have found a good son-in-law. Look, I've made this arrangement for you, for fear that you will suffer a little."

Lin Daniu grinned and also patted Zhou Pengsheng, "So, children's filial piety does not depend on their children. Don't worry about their sons and daughters, you will be filial. Your daughter is not young..."

Isn’t this what Zhou Peng was worried about? “Last year, the school mobilized to go to the countryside, and I stopped me. This year, I didn’t mobilize my situation, but the community started to mobilize. It seems that it would be impossible not to go to the countryside! I thought about it, and if it doesn’t work, I can call it back to my hometown. We are familiar with Heishan Brigade, so our children can settle down when they come back.”

Lin Daniu was happy today and pulled Zhou Pengsheng back for dinner.

Zhou Pengsheng didn't treat himself as an outsider, so he came after calling him. When he came, the Fourth Master was working as a carpenter at home. Lin Daniu knew a little better, but he didn't see what he was doing.

Lin Yutong brought the teapot over and said, "Uncle Zhou, please sit down. I was thinking that the sweet potatoes have come down. This year, there are probably many sweet potatoes. The wastelands in the village are all grown in sweet potatoes. I will use the sweet potatoes to make some wine, and we can drink them by ourselves... and ask him to make something."

Oh! You are doing that. The young man is very skillful.

The Fourth Master just laughed. Tongtong has to know everything when he is so troublesome?

He washed his hands and came to drink tea. It has been a long time since he drank this thing. Now this tea has been obtained after several twists and turns. The tea from the purchasing and sales cooperative can't be drunk. I don't know if I have been kept with pickles or something for too long, and it's completely flavoured. It was originally a inferior tea, but it still tasted out after it was over.

Tongtong cared about this matter. Her original comrade-in-arms had a South Korean comrade, so she asked in the letter. Then the other person wrote to his family, and the family sent the things to the army and then forwarded them from the army.

Good guy, this thing has been on the road for two months and has only arrived today. When these two people came back, Tongtong took the package apart.

Tea is just ordinary wild tea, without a name, and the stir-frying method is lacking, but the tea is of good quality. After brewing it, the taste comes out, and the taste is a bit sweet.

Neiu Lin and Zhou Pengsheng are not the ones who come back to drink tea, and they are also lively.

While drinking tea, Zhou Pengsheng said to the Fourth Master, "I know a little bit about you, don't be afraid. It's really aggrieved you if you crouched in this place. Don't worry. The obstacles will be gone soon and no one can stop you."

The Fourth Master became ill in an instant. No wonder Mi Tianjiao came back to find her before. Hurry up and there was a big problem with her. The Fourth Master didn't want to hide it from Tongtong, so he asked directly, "Who has stepped down? Or..."

"That's not." Zhou Pengsheng knew more, "Director Mi used to work in our county, but later transferred to the area. It's been less than two years since he was transferred... He used to rely on an old classmate, who was a leader in the province. Didn't the two have children and relatives?"

This is the one with some rights in the province, which is Mi Tianjiao’s husband’s family.

"The son of that family died unexpectedly. He learned to drive and went directly to the moat. He caught people. He lost his people! This blow was too big. The leader was in a trance. Somehow, he fainted on the stairs and rolled down. He said that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and he was not moving smoothly. Now, everyone pushed him! This person's behavior was a bit tough and domineering, and he offended many people. After this, the Mi family was implicated. I heard from someone before that Director Mi was beaten down with a problem and sent back to his original unit, without a position."

This is not just about labor.

Why does Zhou Pengsheng dare to say this now? He just thinks that the young man used to have something. In this situation, if the girl finds her back then, her motivation is not simple. It is not that she has the deepest feelings for you to come to you, but that is because you may be the one with the best conditions among all the people she can choose. That's why she talks about relationships with you.

He sighed as he said, "I have been taught a lesson and suffered losses. Siya is no different from my daughter. My father-in-law and I have a life-long friendship. As an elder, I will tell you this, just teach you how to be good, don't suffer losses, and don't hurt our children's hearts because of this. But I don't want to worry about you, and I know that your child has a good idea. I will also give you a reminder. As long as you are not happy to pay attention, don't worry, the girl may not be willing to waste time with you. Those who can find you as soon as possible must have weighed the pros and cons in their hearts. If you don't agree, she will find another next home immediately."

I have to say what Zhou Pengsheng said makes sense.

Even if such a person really has no effect on the Fourth Master and Tongtong, the Fourth Master still thanked them for their kindness.

I have to say that Zhou Pengsheng fell on the same woman several times and people are very good at seeing people. Mi Tian|Jiao really didn't look for the Fourth Master again. Lin Yutong saw her again, but she was still in the office.

On this day, Lin Yutong went to work on her first day after her wedding, and she got news that the commune's relocation had been settled. Before the end of this year, all the commune's agencies would be moved here. Then the branch office here was no longer a branch office, but a police station. It may not be enough to clean up all the houses here. Dajiang and Xiao Wu were busy cleaning up this, so Lin Yutong was left alone in the office.

It was around ten o'clock at noon, and the office door was knocked.

It wasn't cold, but it wasn't the time to close the door. But the flies in Qiu were so annoying that she had to close the door like this. As soon as the door was knocked, she looked up and shouted "Come in". Then it was not just a person, but a string of people coming in.
To be continued...
