Chapter 153 Let's work, Comrade Liu
I am very grateful to "Laomai Su" and "Dad Ke'er" for the reward. Thank you. Your support is my biggest motivation. Thank you!
After a few cups of tiger penis wine, everyone's face turned slightly red. Captain Liu and Liu Hongwu asked for tiger penis wine, but Liu Chen put it away directly. This is medicinal wine. It's not good to drink too much. They have to harvest rice these days.
, this guy is so drunk, do women still have to work?
Besides, these people are really thick-skinned. They can drink a few drinks and still eat them.
"Everyone, drink less and eat more vegetables." Liu Chen smiled and asked everyone to eat vegetables.
Everyone watched as Liu Chen put away the tiger whip wine and then took out the Xuan wine for everyone to drink. This wine was brought over by Zhang Xiaodong.
Pushing cups and changing cups, everyone was drunk and dizzy soon.
After having enough water and food, Zhang Yanjun ran directly to Liu Chen, still thinking about tiger penis wine.
Liu Chen was shocked, this kid is only in his thirties, is he from Microsoft? Shouldn't this kid be?
Zhang Yanjun chuckled, looking shameless, and directly put his arm around Liu Chen's shoulders and smiled evilly.
Liu Chen threw Zhang Yanjun away and filled a can.
At this time, I don’t know when Liu Jiangang saw the tiger penis wine, and he shamelessly brought a can and bottle. He looked at Liu Chen with a smile and said: "Brother Chen, you haven’t paid for the turtle and eel you had this afternoon.
Woolen cloth?"
Only then did Liu Chen remember the three giant turtles and half a bucket of giant eels that Liu Jiangang had brought in that afternoon. At that time, he was just showing everyone the motorcycles, and really didn't count the money for Liu Jiangang.
Liu Chen was about to give money to Liu Jiangang, but Liu Jiangang said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I don't want money, please give me a bottle of Tiger Pencil Bar."
Liu Chen burst out laughing. This boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he might not have all his hair, but he actually came to ask for tiger penis wine.
Liu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Has the hair grown completely?"
Liu Jiangang said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I have thought about it. After harvesting the rice, I will go to Zhao Qing's house to propose marriage. I want to marry her."
Well, Liu Chen is also speechless. After all, people get married relatively early in this era, and many get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. This Liu Jiangang is seventeen or eighteen years old, so he can get married.
Liu Chen filled a can and bottle, stared at Liu Jiangang and said: "Drink carefully, drink less, you will have more stamina."
Liu Jiangang took the tiger penis wine and ran away smiling like a flower.
I don’t know how this wine spread. Many men in the village came to ask Liu Chen for tiger whip wine.
Liu Chen thought to himself, oh my god, so many men have hidden diseases?
At this time, I saw Liu Dameng running up to Liu Chen with an empty bottle, shouting for tiger whip wine.
Liu Chen didn't know how this spread so quickly. Within a matter of one meal, all the men in the village knew about it.
"You're not going to ask for a drink with the bottle, are you?"
"Yes, I'm here to get some wine too."
When Liu Chen heard this, he stared and said, "Has your hair grown?"
Liu Dameng chuckled, Liu Chen waved his hand,
"Just play and get out of here." Liu Chen said and gave Liu Dameng two candies.
"Uncle Chen, my dad asked me to come here. Look, this is the money my dad gave me." After Liu Dameng finished speaking, he took out a dollar and handed it to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen thought to himself, it’s only one yuan, what’s the difference between you and me?
I really don’t want to give it, but it’s not good if I don’t give it. They usually do a lot to help me.
Liu Chen thought to himself, I don’t need any money. What will happen if all the male members of the team come? I want money. This one dollar is really too little.
"Tell your dad later that for one dollar, let him catch three pheasants and two hares to offset the bill."
Nowadays, if everyone has a dollar, they will hate the arrogant. I don’t know how I got this dollar, so I don’t want it anymore. If I want it, the two of them will start fighting.
Liu Chen had to collect wild game anyway, so it would be better to exchange these things for him.
"Okay, uncle, I'll tell my dad when I get back. If you don't want the money, I'll take it back."
Liu Chen handed the tiger whip wine to Liu Dameng and warned him: "Don't spend this money carelessly. It must be given to your father."
Liu Dameng nodded, smiled and walked away with the wine.
In two days, everyone will harvest rice, and those who listened to the radio left very early, around eight o'clock.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Chen also went to sleep.
The next day, when the rooster crowed for the first time, Liu Jiefang got up. Today he did not pick up manure as usual. The main reason was that Liu Chen got a few more wild boars and sika deer, and there was more manure than before.
Already.
You Di and Wang Mudan also got up. Liu Chen saw that everyone was getting up, so he simply stopped sleeping.
Liu Jiefang went directly to Captain Liu and the warehouse manager Liu Hongjun. They went to prepare and check the farm tools in the warehouse. The sickles needed to be sharpened, the poles needed to be repaired, and the sacks needed to be mended.
Women team leader Li Hongxia led some women and children to remove weeds from corn and soybean fields.
Captain Liu redistributed the tasks assigned to everyone, and everyone went about their business.
Captain Liu said to Liu Jiefang: "Everyone should work harder this year. The price of over-purchased grain this year will be increased by 30%."
Over-purchase refers to the grain that the production team and farmers voluntarily sell to the state after completing the public grain and unified grain purchase.
Last year there was a severe drought and the harvest was almost wiped out. This year is a bumper year and the over-purchase of grain has increased by 30%.
Captain Liu smoked his pipe, shook his head, and said with an ugly expression: "Hey, it is said to be voluntary, but if the commune gives quotas and assigns tasks, the over-purchase of grain is said to be voluntary, but in the end it is not involuntary."
Liu Jiefang also had a sad look on his face. He was also very worried about this. As long as the commune assigned tasks, everyone had to tighten their belts and complete the tasks even if they were hungry. Leaders like a few teams were okay, but better
As a member of the commune, if you have many children at home, if you are not on the upside down team, it will be considered good if you don't starve to death.
Although the state encourages buying grain at negotiated prices, the price of grain at negotiated prices needs to be doubled. For a farmer who earns just a few cents from work, who has the money to buy it?
Listening to this, Liu Chen still felt very uncomfortable. It was really difficult for farmers to grow their own food, but in the end they had no food to eat.
Liu Chen also feels sorry for everyone, but what can be done about it?
Liu Chen simply thought to himself, don't think about it anymore, why are you thinking so much? Anyway, he won't be hungry, as long as his family can't be hungry.
Turn around, go home, and do whatever you need to do.
In the next few days, Liu Chen and Liu Hu followed Liu Fugui on the threshing floor.
Pulling weeds, arranging, carrying water, pouring wheat bread, and pulling big stone rollers to press down the field.
After the threshing floor was laid, Liu Chen followed Liu Fugui to repair the broken pole.
Liu Hu, Liu Jiangang, Liu Chen and other young men went to the mountain to cut bamboo, while Liu Fugui, Liu Hongwu and others repaired and remade the poles.
Captain Liu and others repaired the carts, wheelbarrows, shovels, etc. that were broken and remade those that were insufficient.
Women and old people mend snakeskin bags, sacks, etc.
The entire society was mobilized, and within two or three days, the prelude to harvesting the rice was all ready.
Although the work he did in the past few days was not a big job and was very scattered, there was no leisure for the whole day, and Liu Chen still felt a little tired.
Captain Liu looked at everyone with a smile and shouted: "Everyone, please work hard. We will try to harvest all the rice in one week and put it into storage."
Liu Chen was shocked when he heard this. Do you need more work? So much land will be finished in a week. Do you need more work?
Liu Chen only dared to mutter in a low voice. He was afraid that Captain Liu's pipe pole would fall down loudly, so it was better to use the thirty-sixth strategy.
On the way back, Liu Chen asked Liu Jiefang that the entire Liutang production team did not have much rice, only three hundred acres.
When Liu Chen heard this figure, three hundred acres was still not much. It was just a few hundred acres. If in the future, it would be completed in consecutive days, but now it would take nearly a week. This week, it is better to hurry up and take it slow, otherwise it would be too late.
Go slower.
It's a pity that there are no combine harvesters now, otherwise it would be much easier.
Liu Chen learned that although the Liutang production team has mountains, it is close to the Huaihe River, the water resources are still available, and the terrain is relatively flat, so the rice in Liutang Village is more than that in other villages.
Go home and start work tomorrow, stir-fry two side dishes and drink some tiger bone wine. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today, and you will have to work tomorrow.
Liu Chen suddenly thought that he had to go to Li Qiaozhen's house first. It was time for Liu Hehua to have her stitches removed, so he could go and see how the girl was recovering.
Liu Chen walked home with a dog's tail grass in his mouth and humming a song.
Liu Hu also caught up at this time, smiled and patted Liu Chen on the shoulder: "What happened? You are so happy."
Liu Chen glared: "Let's go, Huzi, accompany me to sister Qiaozhen's house to see how the lotus is recovering?"
Anyway, as long as Liu Hu follows Liu Chen, he is willing to go anywhere. Anyway, he will end up eating at his house. As long as there is a place to eat, Liu Hu is fine.
The two of them returned home. Liu Chen took the medicine box, packed some food, and walked to Li Qiaozhen's house.
When I came to the yard, I saw Li Qiaozhen cleaning up the weeds in the yard. Nowadays, the yards in rural areas are all dirt floors, with few brick floors, let alone cement floors. The cobblestone roads like Liu Chen's house, and
The courtyard of the vegetable garden is the only one in Liutangzhuang, let alone the rooms with cement floors.
After clearing away the weeds by the wall, Li Qiaozhen turned around and saw Liu Chen standing in front of her. She quickly wiped her hands on her apron and smiled as she greeted Liu Chen and Hu Zi to the living room.
At this time, Dai Cuiqin, who heard Liu Chen's voice, also came out holding a wooden stick and asked Liu Chen to sit down.
Liu Chen stared at Dai Cuiqin and said in surprise: "Madam, can you leave?"
When Liu Chen came last time, Dai Cuiqin had to hold on to the stool to move, but this time he was able to walk on the stick. This was great, and it showed that his medicinal wine was indeed effective.
"Yes, my legs are strong again, and I can slowly move them with the help of a stick. This is thanks to your medicinal wine and herbal medicine."
Seeing Li Qiaozhen's little face, Liu Chen felt very happy.
It is a doctor's bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded. Liu Chen was naturally happy when he saw that he had been saved.
Liu Hehua, who heard Liu Chen's voice, slowly climbed out of bed and walked out. When she saw Liu Chen, she smiled slightly and ran into Liu Chen's arms.
Liu Chen held Lotus in his arms and took out the candies, cans, beef, peach cakes, apples and mangoes he had brought.
The things were placed on the table, and Li Qiaozhen and Dai Cuiqin stared at them: "Oh, why do you bring so many things?"
Liu Chen smiled and told He Hua gently: "I will come and remove the stitches for you later. Once the stitches are removed, you can eat anything."
Chapter completed!
