The old days(43)

"Why do others come to deliver it?" Duanyang pointed towards the wall, "We will plant it ourselves."

But there is a wall around here, but there are no walls around other places. What if someone sees it from other sides?

As Duanyang said this, he was thinking about a solution in his heart.

Within a few days, several people from the bungalow came over to thank Duanyang for coming and dragging their children back from the swamp.

These children were still stubborn: "The water is not deep anymore, so there is no danger."

But does this swamp have deep water and shallow water? There is a mud hole that you can’t get out of if you sink into it!

The more stubborn the child is, the more adults think the place is dangerous and have to control it.

Fan Yunqing made a timely suggestion: "It is related to the safety of the next generation, so we must pay attention to it." Her children are also young!

Then the Infrastructure Department will be very busy, and they will have to spend time to surround this area with walls. Brick walls are not practical, and earth walls can be made from local materials, so earth walls will be used.

Not only were the earth walls rammed down, this area also became a restricted area in the factory.

Not to mention, among the children, the legend of a water ghost soon spread, saying that it would pull the legs of children, and that a small puddle with a bowl of water could drown people.

Most of the adults will smile knowingly, but when the children ask them if they are telling the truth, they will often say more scary things to scare the children not to go to dangerous places.

So, the children really didn't dare to climb over the wall and go in there.

As for the adults, what would you do if you had nothing to do? You just want to do something sneaky. Someone can see you during the day. But at night, no one knows what's going on inside. You really don't have to choose this damn place.

Then, the world became safe.

The fourth master ignored it and Duanyang raised the bricks in the corner of the woodshed by himself, dug a hole from there to the outside that could fit one person in, and built steps in the hole to make it easier to go up and down. Normally, this hole on the side of the woodshed is

Just use a small water tank to block it, and no one knows that there is a hole underneath. The end outside the wall is covered with wooden boards, and it can be pushed away from the hole with a gentle push.

Anyway, I have worked hard for this piece of land during the Duanyang Festival. During this period, I have spent all my time thinking about this piece of land.

But by the time it is sorted out, it will already be September.

What else can you plant in September in the north?

Even the cabbage and radishes are too late. The cabbage in the backyard vegetable patch is almost ready to be harvested.

Winter wheat is available in time, but there are no seeds and it's hard to get them.

Lin Yutong laughed: "Sprinkle some spinach and plant some late cabbage."

The leaves of cabbage can be eaten in any shape they grow. If it is too late to mature, it is not called mature!

It's quite humid outside the wall, so don't worry about the vegetables once they're planted, just let them grow.

On the other hand, the vegetables in the backyard, Duanyang and Danyang, are watered once every morning, and once in the evening when you have time.

It just feels like: "Drought!"

Yes! There is no moisture in the air, and the vegetable leaves are also curled.

The water we use at home is water pressured from a pressure well. The water tank next to the well also leads to the vegetable patch in the backyard. The water that is usually spilled will also flow to the vegetable patch, which is equivalent to watering three times a day, but the vegetable leaves are still curled.

.

Sure enough, when the autumn grain came down, Chang Daman did not buy any extra grain.

He came over with Lin Yutong and explained: "...No...the yield is not that high at all...it didn't rain in the second half of this year...I see, life in the countryside is difficult." Then he added: "...cousin, if

If you have a way, just find something to eat as soon as possible. No matter what it is, whatever you eat will not kill you, it counts. This winter, life in the countryside will be difficult..."

No matter whether it was good or bad, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong couldn't care less about it.

There's a lot of steel smelting going on!

When Marshal Steel gets promoted, everything has to make way.

115 naturally received the task. The production in the workshop cannot be stopped, but everyone who is not in the workshop should work for me. Let's build all the earthen stoves.

The fourth master has been busy for a year and has a room full of drawings. This is not just for this time. He has been working on the construction site all day long.

And what about Lin Yutong?

Getting busy too!

What are you busy with? The first thing is to set up a Hua Mulan steel-making team at the steel-making furnace. The Detachment of Women is a matter of the Women's Federation. In any case, Lin Yutong has to have a position in it. He has to do the work actively.

Work. The work here is not over yet, the factory is going to open a big canteen again.

We work together when we have work, and we eat together when we have food.

The slogan is: eat with ease and work hard to produce.

What the Women's Federation needs to do is to arrange for manpower to cook for so many people, and also to ask everyone to take all the dishes and chopsticks at home to the canteen so that everyone can use them together!

Lin Yutong carried a pile of bowls, which were not commonly used at home, but they were considered for business.

But many people began to take away the pots at home and sent them directly to the steel-making furnace. Can Lin Yutong's family not send them?

Okay! It’s feasible to send the pots used to cook clothes and diapers for a few children to the steel-making furnace. In order to match them, Lin Yutong put the lids on all the pots at home and sent them together.

Then the fourth master came back in the evening and looked at the pot without a lid. What could he do?

A wooden cover was ordered from a wooden board.

But most people have no objection to a life without pots and pans.

Because you can eat in the cafeteria. Although the supplies are not in hand, what does it matter. Didn’t I tell you that you can eat freely?

Rejoice!

When walking in the factory, no matter who you meet, they are walking in the wind.

It feels like the rhythm of life has been completely disrupted.

After getting up in the morning, the family has to wash up and rush to the big cafeteria at 7:20. The tables, chairs and benches in the big cafeteria are all contributed by each family. It is almost like a family or two families sitting at one table.

Lin Yutong's family and Qian Siyuan's family can just squeeze into one table. Lin Yutong's family is six people, and Qian Siyuan's family is three. Most of them are children, so they can sit down if they squeeze in. At 7:20, they will be transferred

The female comrades in the logistics service team served everyone the food. It was relatively simple in the morning, a plate of pickles, a plate of fermented bean curd, a table with a basin of porridge, and a large plate of steamed buns. If you don’t have any more, go get them, it’s enough!

Good guy! I killed twelve steamed buns in Duanyang and frightened Lin Yutong to stop him. That’s all.

Qian Siyuan also gave a thumbs up to Duanyang: "Good boy, it's really delicious." He only ate eight in one meal.

Zhuang Tingting could eat seven, and said to Lin Yutong: "Director Lin, the more you eat, the more you can do. Don't save it for the big guys. You only eat two in one meal, what's the use of it?"

The people on the side said: "Go ahead and eat, Director Lin. One acre produces 10,000 kilograms of grain. Even if we each have three stomachs, we can't finish it."

There is something more direct, taking the steamed bun and stuffing it directly into Lin Yutong's arms: "I'm sorry to eat so much in front of everyone. It's okay, I'll get used to it in the future. If you can't eat it, take it home and eat it slowly. You can also call me

What’s wrong with being hungry!”

Lin Yutong had trouble telling the difference, and he had five or six steamed buns in his arms.

Then take it home.

The steamed buns brought back every day are put in net bags and hung in a cool and ventilated place to dry. From now on, these will be dried steamed bun slices.

After eating, just wipe your mouth and leave. There is no need to clean the pot and wash the dishes. It couldn't be more wonderful.

Then those who go to work go to work, and those who go to school go to school.

Danyang and Chaoyang were responsible for sending Jiaoyang to the nursery first and handing it over to their aunt. Then they ran to school. There was nothing to do at school. The main thing was to organize everyone to sift out scraps of iron from the waste dregs of some companies. One by one, five by one.

It's a staff school, so I definitely have to go back to 115. So I went to the school for a while, and now I'm back.

Lin Yutong was in the department, the steelmaking group, and the cafeteria, running between three o'clock and one line. On the way, he saw the children coming back one after another, so he asked the teacher: "Are there any activities today?"

"Marshal Steel has been promoted, everything has to give way." This is what the teacher said.

Yes! I have to give extra lessons to my two children in the evening.

There is no need to go to the canteen for lunch. The service team will deliver the meals to the workshop and the front line of production.

As for department staff who work in offices, they work overtime at night to do their jobs, and at other times they work on the front line.

People across the country are making progress, and we should work harder.

At noon, rice is served with braised pork and potatoes, which is delicious! Lin Yutong's appetite is enough for half a bowl of rice. But in everyone's opinion, it is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth.

So Sister-in-law Miao, who was in charge of the kitchen and was particularly good with Lin Yutong, said: "You can eat as much as you want. We will definitely cook enough."

He filled up half of the basin and handed it to Lin Yutong: "Take it back and eat it slowly."

Bringing food back is not new. If someone in the family has not had time to eat, they are allowed to bring food.

This steamed bun can still be eaten dry. What should I do with the rice? There is no way. In the evening, bake the rice in the oven at home into golden brown dry rice grains. When you have time, grind the dry rice grains into powder, and it will also

Good food.

However, processing these grains is extremely time-consuming now.

Normally, everyone's working hours are eight hours. Now the workers are independent and set the working hours at twelve hours. More than one-third of the people work for another sixteen to eighteen hours.

They don't go home at all! When they're hungry, the canteen will deliver meals, and one meal every ten minutes is a slow pace. When they're sleepy, they sleep on the floor. When they wake up, let's get back to work!

No one is forcing it, it is all voluntary behavior.
