After hearing this, everyone nodded and said that the village chief was right, and that if they spoke together, there would be no chaos. Although they did not talk about paddy field fertilizer anymore, everyone was itching for dry field fertilizer. The paddy field fertilizer had not yet shown any results, but the harvest of dry field fertilizer was real.
Look at the almost two stone grain tax from Li Da on the village chief’s ox cart.
So they all went to talk to Li Da and surrounded him to ask questions. Li Da actually talked about this in detail – he talked about it eight hundred times, and he was still happy to say it. After he finished, everyone praised Zhou Zhou and Gu Zhao, and they were happy to say that they didn’t even have to spit.
they squeezed in among the crowd outside and listened.
Everyone was there, some pulling ox carts, some carrying things on their backs. Uncle Wang didn’t come to the village entrance this year, but Wang Ergou’s parents came over pushing a wheelbarrow. They couldn’t help complaining about Wang Xue, saying that the harvest was lazy this year and that it was fortunate that there was no rain and the crops didn’t grow well. Then, Wang Xue said he was inconvenient to deliver the food. What was the inconvenience? It was just because of the lazy bones.
”The people who deliver the food are all men. Can your widow or wife come over too?” The village chief said with a frown.
The more these two talk, the more outrageous they become.
Wang Ergou’s parents finally shut up, otherwise they would have scolded Wang Xue for a long time.
They went early, and on the way Wang Ergou’s parents shouted again that the wheel was stuck, and seeing that there was room on Li Er’s ox cart, they wanted to ask Li Er to carry some. Li Er had been a cunning and slippery person since he was a child, a fence-sitter, and he said nice things, but when he was used, others could not take advantage of him at all – unless the third family took advantage of him voluntarily.
You can’t tell Wang Ergou’s parents that the cow is still young and can’t get tired. You two elders will get there soon if you try harder…
Anyway, I won’t agree.
Everyone in the village knew Li Er’s true character. In the past, even the eldest brother looked down on him from afar. After the family split up, Li Er bought a cow and went to the town to deliver grain every year. This year was the first time he took the initiative to call him the eldest brother and used his cow to carry grain.
Although Li Da refused.
Everyone in the same business knew that Li Er was looking at Li Da’s success and wanted to cling to him because he had the means to enrich the land.
When they arrived at the town, several nearby villages lined up, and it was not until the evening that they finished delivering food. On the way back, everyone was used to walking in the dark, except Wang Ergou’s parents, who cried again and said their hands were weak.
”It’s not like his leg is broken.” Reiji said while driving the ox cart.
Wang Ergou’s mother kept coughing and coughing, saying that she couldn’t walk and was going to die. Finally, the village chief asked Wang Ergou’s mother to get on his ox cart, otherwise she would have to walk until tomorrow.
As for Wang Ergou’s father, just keep pushing the wheelbarrow.
It’s not like his leg is broken.
It was dark when we got to the village. Everyone was tired after a busy day. The village chief said, “Take a day off. The day after tomorrow, we’ll talk at the dam. I’ll also work out a plan.”
Go back home quickly, take a shower and go to bed.
When Li Da got home, he washed his feet with hot water, ate a bowl of rice, and said, “It’s not very tiring this year. Let’s go to the village chief’s house with a bullock cart. That’s it. You two should go back and sleep.”
”Dad, go to bed early too.” said Gu Zhao.
At Aunt Wang’s house next door, the man came back, ate, drank hot water and soaked his feet. Aunt Wang asked about it.
”Li Da said it again. I’ve remembered it now. We’ll do the same thing when the wheat is harvested. We can’t move the wheat stalks. We have to keep them all.”
”Paddy field, what does paddy field mean?” Aunt Wang asked.
She knew everything about the dry fields. Today, as soon as the man left to deliver grain, other married women in the village went to talk to Li Zhouzhou. Li Zhouzhou was a wooden man. There was nothing to talk about. It was boring. Aunt Wang heard the noise next door, and soon everyone came out.
Aunt Wang curled her lips and said, “Let him speak.”
After everyone came out of Li’s house, it was still early and their husbands were not at home. There was no rush to cook, so they went to Aunt Wang’s house to chat since it was close.
Aunt Wang listened to everyone talking about how to fertilize dry fields. They talked in detail, even Zhang’s Tian was there.
”I heard there is a method for paddy fields, which can be used this year.” someone said.
”My husband said that the Li family’s method of fertilizing the paddy fields is free of charge and will be given to everyone for free.”
”The Li family is really amazing.”
”Yes, be generous and don’t care.”
This was said sincerely, and everyone knew how they had talked about Li Zhouzhou behind his back in the past. In the end, Li Da, Li Zhouzhou, his son, and even Gu Shulang didn’t care. How nice it is to be so friendly with others.
