Chapter 414 New Educated Youth Arrives

Han Li went to the river and lowered several ground traps that he had used to catch snow clams, and then began a day of fishing.

There was a breeze by the river, and Han Li fell asleep after reading a book.

But he was soon awakened by the sound of the loudspeaker in the village. Generally, the loudspeaker would only sound for a while under special circumstances.

Han Li pricked up his ears and listened. The voice of Captain Liang was speaking excitedly.

"The crops are like flowers, and they all depend on fertilizer. If you don't apply manure to the land, it's like messing around. Now we can't settle down in the farmland, but we can't just sit there. Now everyone goes to the warehouse to get tools. Those who need to dig holes dig holes, those who need to go up the mountain to cut grass cut grass, and those who need to go to pick up leaves go to pick up leaves. In short, we have to take advantage of these two days to ferment as much green manure as possible."

Hearing this, Han Li lay down again. He didn't need to guess that he knew that there was definitely a wailing among the educated youth.

Green manure fermentation was definitely a very important task at that time. The supply of fertilizer was very tight at that time. Each production brigade would allocate certain standard indicators according to the number of villagers and the number of acres of land. The brigade leader would take the indicators to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy.

But this was just a drop in the bucket. If you want to increase the production and income of grain in the field, you can only ferment green manure.

Speaking of fertilizer at that time, there was also a special landscape, that is, big cadres and small cadres, everyone wore urea pants.

However, because of the strong disgust of Village Chief Zhao, no one in Shanghe Village wore this kind of thing.

The reason was that since the Japanese Prime Minister visited my country in September 1972, the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries was achieved.

The two countries signed a series of agreements, including the import of urea produced in Japan.

Urea is easy to use and has high fertility, and it was deeply loved by the production team at that time.

The inner packaging of urea is a transparent plastic bag, and the outer packaging is nylon cloth printed with the Chinese word "urea" and some ghost painting characters. This kind of cloth is very strong and dyed into pants that are very durable and easy to wash.

But ordinary people can't get this kind of urea bag at all. Only those government officials, supply and marketing cooperative staff, commune cadres, and team leaders can get it.

In recent years, many people with connections across the country have taken the opportunity to deal in urea. It cannot be said that there are no good endings in the end, but it can only be said that very, very few have a good ending.

.

Green manure is to pile plant leaves, wheat bran, and weeds in a compost pool that has been dug long ago, and at the same time mix human feces and livestock manure, and add a certain proportion of water.

People also have to mix them all evenly. As for the mixing process, some use tools to turn them over, and some use their feet to step on them.

After mixing evenly, the surface is smoothed with a shovel, and finally all these things are sealed with soil, allowing them to ferment slowly inside. After being sealed in a high-temperature environment, the microorganisms in the environment will ferment and deteriorate. When they are used, they will be excellent fertilizers when they are dug out.

However, this green manure is full of flavor, whether it is now or when it is dug out.

The sisters-in-law, aunts and female educated youth in Shanghe Village were all sent to cut grass and pick leaves. Some men went to clean the original manure pits, and some went to pull feces. In short, everyone was busy on the second day after the rain.

In this situation, Han Li was embarrassed to go home in broad daylight, so he lay by the river until dusk.

At this time, Han Li pulled out all the ground traps and saw that most of them were boat fish.

Even though it is the season for boat fish harvest, the number seems to be too much.

However, this small fish has few bones and a lot of meat. Hao Hongmei and Yang Xiuying used it to make salted fish for long-term preservation.

Han Li prefers to use fried boat fish, sprinkled with cumin powder or chili powder, which is good whether as a dish or a snack.

The only disadvantage of boat fish is that it will die if it leaves the water. In such weather without ice, the internal organs need to be cleaned out as soon as possible.

However, this shortcoming is nothing to Han Li. He is a man with a golden finger.

After all the traps were taken out, they began to clean the internal organs of the boat fish one by one.

After cleaning, they washed it with river water, and then put it in the basket made of willow branches and walked back.

After returning home, the two sisters were cooking. After seeing so many fish in Han Li's hand, they immediately added two dishes.

Fried boat fish and stewed fish with shepherd's purse, Yun Jingjing's cooking skills are absolutely worthy of praise. Han Li ate most of the fried fish by himself.

After eating and drinking, they sat on the kang and talked about the situation of fertilizer accumulation in the village today. Hou Yuhua, the pocket girl, came. She looked at Han Li a little embarrassedly, and pulled Yun Yingying to the outer room to talk in a whisper.

After a while, the two of them returned to the inner room, and Yun Yingying smiled and said.

"Brother Li, you haven't walked the dogs yet today. Why don't you go now? They've been running around in the muddy water these past two days and are so dirty. Wash them well by the river before you come back."

Han Li didn't know what was going on at first, but when he smelled the faint stench on Hou Yuhua's body, he realized that she must have accidentally stained herself with feces today. Isn't it just borrowing her own bathroom to take a bath? What's there to be embarrassed about?

"Okay, then I'll take them to the river to wash them."

Han Li took the dogs out and strolled to the river.

The riverside is now quite lively. After all, they have been dealing with feces all day, and many young and old men in the village are taking a bath.

A group of naked old men were splashing around in the river. It was a bit inappropriate to take the dogs over, so Han Li took the dogs to turn the corner from a distance.

Under the dim moonlight, Han Li sat by the river and watched the dogs making a fuss in the river.

Thinking about the current season, if he was in other places, he would have gone into the woods to touch the cicada monkeys after dinner.

It’s a pity that there are no cicada monkeys to catch in Gada, otherwise, with the lush trees here, he would definitely catch a lot of them in one night.

Cicada monkeys are fried in oil and sprinkled with a little salt, which is much more delicious than fried boat fish.

However, Han Li soon laughed at himself. If it were in other places, there would not be so much meat to eat.

Han Li watched the dogs come out of the water after playing enough, turned around and walked back with them.

When he returned home, Hou Yuhua had already left, and Yun Yingying explained what happened just now.

It turned out that Hou Yuhua’s "little life" today had come. If he took a shower at home, he was afraid of catching a cold, so he came to borrow the bathroom.

.

The next day, Han Li got up early to practice boxing.

The village still had to ferment green manure today, so they went to work early. The family had breakfast leisurely.

After dinner, Han Li kissed the two sisters at the street gate, and watched them go to the agency to open the door with red faces.

Everyone went to work today, so Han Li didn't have to go to the river. He took out the boat fish reserved yesterday from the decomposition space and came to He Mi's house.

At this time, Village Chief Zhao drove the ox cart to the county town to pick up the new educated youth with a reluctant face. Why did he drive the ox cart?

Because it was too difficult to walk on the road after the rain, once the car got stuck in the mud, the ox cart would be easier to get out than the horse carriage.

Zhang Xiangjun also went to the county town with Village Chief Zhao. He talked for a long time yesterday before the village chief agreed.

But Zhang Xiangjun's face was full of happy expectations now. When the car got stuck on the road occasionally, he would jump down and push the car immediately.

Everyone knows that Village Chief Zhao went to pick up the new educated youth today, but today's Shanghe Village is different from the past. No one said anything about holding a welcome party, and even Sun Yong, the leader of the educated youth, did not say anything.

.

In the courtyard of the County Educated Youth Office, Village Chief Zhao went inside to receive the list of people assigned to them this time.

This time, Shanghe Village was assigned five educated youths, three men and two women, one of whom was Yin Lanfen, the object of Zhang Xiangjun's obsession.

As soon as the two met, they happily gathered together to chat, completely ignoring the other educated youths.

Village Chief Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to such things. He asked them to put their luggage on the ox cart and started to walk back, and skillfully ignored their request to take a car.

Take a car? It is absolutely impossible to let the new educated youth take a car, even if the ox cart can completely accommodate them today.

This is similar to the killing stick after the ancient exiles arrived at the station. First of all, let these children from the city know that life here is not easy.

Village Chief Zhao sat on the shaft of the cart and drove the old yellow ox, while Zhang Xiangjun and other new educated youth walked below.

They walked and stopped along the way, and when they arrived at Shanghe Village, they were just walking back from work.

Except for Yin Lanfen who was taken care of by Zhang Xiangjun, everyone else was almost like a mud monkey.

Their shoes and pants were all covered with mud. One of the female educated youths fell down on the road while wearing leather shoes, and was covered in mud. She walked back crying all the way.

They were looked at by the villagers every street, which made the new educated youths even more embarrassed.

After arriving at the gate of the educated youth courtyard, Village Chief Zhao stopped Zhang Xiangjun from wanting to bring his partner to his house.

"Go to the educated youth courtyard first and say hello to everyone, and you educated youths should also get to know each other, so as to avoid introducing them again in the future."

While Village Chief Zhao was speaking, Sun Yong had heard the voice and ran out.

"Village Chief, these are all new comrades."

"Well, I won't go in. Sun Yong, take them in and introduce them to each other."

After Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, he drove the ox cart away. At this time, Sun Yong shouted into the courtyard.

"Yan Weimin, Xu Yongjian, Qi Ruying, Yuan Hongying, Meng Zaihong, come out to help the new comrades with their luggage."

After he finished shouting, he began to introduce himself to these new educated youth with a smile.

"My name is Sun Yong, and I am the leader of the educated youth in Shanghe Village. By the way, Xiangjun, go and notify the others to come to the educated youth courtyard to meet the new comrades."

After these new educated youth were taken to the educated youth courtyard, their hearts sank again. Not to mention that the house was in a dilapidated state, the key point was that the male educated youths all had a very bad smell.

Yin Lanfen had already learned about the situation here from Zhang Xiangjun, so she was not surprised, but the faces of others were very bad. They stood in the courtyard one by one and didn't know what to say.

In fact, Zhang Xiangjun didn't need to notify everyone to know that there would be this drama today. After getting the news, they rushed over quickly. Yang Xiuying was the first person to arrive at the scene.

Afterwards, Han Li brought the Yun sisters, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi, Zhang Yaozu, Wu Lili, and all the old educated youths arrived.

The new educated youth didn't know why so many educated youth came in from outside. They were all staring at Han Li and his group.

When the new educated youth looked at the old educated youth, the old educated youth also looked at them.

"Well, welcome to Shanghe Village to join the team..."
