Chapter 576 Festival
Han Li's family had refused the matter with the original reasons from beginning to end. Seeing Han Li like this, Hao Hongmin, Zhang Shulan and others chose to follow his choice.
But it was different for the others, especially the four newest educated youth. The hibernation made them lazy all over. Moreover, the farm work in the fields was tiring and cold. The team leader did not allow anyone to ask for leave, saying that the thaw was late this year and they had to rush to plant the crops in the fields.
Ma Runping said that she was living in pain every day.
The chilblains on her hands hurt during the day and it itched at night so that she couldn't sleep. Sometimes she wanted to chop her hands off.
So she would not give up this opportunity no matter what. Wang Congfei, Sun Yingming, Liu Liyan, and Ma Runping, the new educated youths, all wanted to go.
Among the old educated youths, there was only one Niu Dechang. In his words, he had already made an appointment with his classmates during the Chinese New Year. If he didn't go now, it would be too embarrassing. He also tried his best to persuade Wu Lili to go together.
Wu Lili's face pigment is gone now, and she has regained her original confidence. She was immediately moved by Niu Dechang's words, but she found that those who had a good relationship with Han Li did not go, and finally stood Niu Dechang up.
As for whether other people want to go? Of course they want to go, but unfortunately, ideals and distant places all require the support of money, which they lack in their pockets. In the end, they can only watch others step out of Shanghe Village and move towards the place they want to go.
Of course, there are always people who gloat over misfortunes. They can't go themselves, but they hope that those who go will be scolded.
However, no matter what everyone thinks, the farm work in the field cannot be stopped, but fortunately it was completely cleaned up soon.
In the next two days, the work in the village was to dig, transport and spread manure, but Han Li and the others did not go to work.
Han Li took He Mi, Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua to demolish the original house and wall of He Mi's family.
And slowly move these adobes and usable materials to the vicinity of the current house. After the spring plowing in the village is over, you can ask the villagers to help build the kang, stove, and wall. After drying, He Mi and her friends can move in.
However, Han Li accompanied them to play slowly, and secretly welcomed the golden finger to speed up the progress at night or when they were not paying attention.
The two sisters of the Yun family took turns to stand the last shift at the agency point, and the other one worked with Han Li and his friends.
However, judging from the matter of Yun's father and mother, the efficiency of some units is really touching now, but it may also be that Sijiu City is busy recently, and they can't take care of their "little things" for the time being.
The Qingming Festival is approaching, and He Mi has to burn paper for her grandmother every year. She has the most experience in this regard. A few days ago, she asked Han Li to go to the commune to buy some straw paper and white paper.
After Han Li bought the paper, He Mi led everyone to use scissors to cut straw paper into the shape of copper coins, fold the white paper into white flowers, and finally fix it on the inner stalk of sorghum or reed stalks, and finally it looked like blooming white lotuses.
Bingchen year. Renchen month. Bingxu day, the fifth day of the third lunar month, Qingming Festival.
Han Li didn't care what others thought, and he had found a place to look at the direction of Sijiu City early.
Early in the morning, Han Li took Sister Yun, He Mi, and Qi Zhaodi to the mountain. This was a sunny half-hillside.
Everyone picked up stones and made a circle to prevent sparks from being blown out. Then bursts of smoke rose. At this time, they looked around halfway up the mountain. Countless places of the same smoke were slowly rising, and finally merged into one piece in the sky, forming a special picture under the golden sunlight in the early morning.
Han Li and his friends waited for the fire to burn out, and after confirming that there were no hidden dangers such as sparks, they went down the mountain.
After dinner, in the Miao family's house in Mianhua Hutong, Sijiucheng, their second son Miao Qingfu and youngest son Miao Qinglu were chatting with their parents.
It turned out that when they discussed with their family at the beginning, their father Miao Liangmin and mother Yan Dahong were firmly opposed.
But the two brothers said that after returning this time, if there were quotas for recruitment and schooling in the brigade, they would be given priority. This made Yan Dahong agree on the spot, because she thought that if the two sons could have a job, they would be able to speak more firmly in the hutong. If they graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, they would be cadres, and they would be able to suppress Han Fugui and Zhang Ping's family and be completely proud in the future.
After Yan Dahong thought about it, she immediately sent the ticket money to the two sons. You know, she didn't even spend this money before the New Year.
With the support of their parents, Miao Qingfu and Miao Qinglu, as locals, boasted to their companions on the train and performed very hard after getting off the train. However, when the crowd surged the next day.
However, Han Li didn't know this at all. The village was going to start spring plowing today. The land thawed late this year, so when spring plowing began, Han Li and his family started working again.
On the afternoon of the 8th, when everyone just arrived at the field to start working, the loud speaker that was not broadcasting suddenly sounded.
"Hello, hello, all the village heads and team leaders in the county, please come to the auditorium of the Ideological and Political Office on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning for a meeting. This meeting will be jointly hosted by the Party Committee, the County Party Committee, and the Ideological and Political Office. No one may ask for leave or be late for any reason. Hello, hello, I'll say it again, all..."
Captain Liang was stunned for a moment after hearing the broadcast, and then looked at Village Chief Zhao beside him.
Because Village Chief Zhao would always know some news in advance if there were any instructions from the county.
But this time, Village Chief Zhao really didn't receive the news in advance. When Captain Liang looked over, he shook his head gently and said.
"I didn't receive the news, but the tone of the broadcast this time seemed a bit serious. It shouldn't be a trivial matter."
"It can't be because of that."
"I hope not."
While the two of them were discussing, the villagers and educated youth were also discussing because the broadcast notification came too suddenly.
"In the past, the notification of the meeting was always made by phone or during the broadcast time. This time the broadcast was a bit rare. What do you think this time is?"
"It's rare, but how can I know what it is."
The next day, when Han Li was practicing boxing, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang went to the county town for a meeting together.
When they were having breakfast in the morning, the latest broadcast came from the loudspeaker in the village.
Then the faces of the Yun sisters were covered with clouds of worry. Han Li knew that they were worried about their parents, but he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only try his best to comfort them.
During the meeting in the morning, Village Chief Zhao and Team Leader Liang took the paper and pen from the people in the front row and looked at it. Finally, they wrote down the names of Niu Dechang, Wang Congfei, Sun Yingming, Liu Liyan, Ma Runping and others.
The day after Village Chief Zhao and his team came back from the meeting, Niu Dechang, Wang Congfei, Sun Yingming, Liu Liyan, Ma Runping and other five people came back from outside the village in a mess.
But at this time, everyone was working in the fields, and most people didn't know they were back.
At this time, the five of them seemed to be stimulated by something, and they took the initiative to go to work without being urged by others the next day.
In particular, Ma Runping didn't complain about the frostbite on her hands at this time. She bent over and stuck out her buttocks and pulled the "plow" very hard.
During this period, it was not that no one asked them how they went to Sijiucheng, but they were all explained in a somewhat stiff way.
Two days later, Han Li received a letter from home.
It turned out that Miao Qingfu, the second son of the Miao family, and Miao Qinglu, the youngest son, died a few days ago.
The Miao family in the alley was dead silent, and Yan Dahong cried and laughed every day at home.
Han Li exhaled deeply after reading the letter, and handed it to the Yun sisters and He Mi.
After reading it, everyone showed a complicated look on their faces, and they also understood why Ma Runping and the others worked so hard after returning.
No matter what, life should go on. With everyone's efforts, the spring plowing in Shanghe Village was completed soon.
On the first day without working in the fields, Han Li sat lazily by the stove in the health room, with steaming tea on the table.
Although Han Li had a book in his hand, he couldn't read it, and he always felt like he had forgotten something important.
It was not until halfway through the morning that Village Chief Zhao led many villagers to build a kang and a yard for He Mi's family. Han Li then went out with a thermos and cigarettes. When the villagers were mixing mud, Han Li suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
"Earth Tai Sui", to be exact, should be the Earth Tai Sui that Han Li put into the decomposition space.
At that time, Han Li was only concerned about going home, and he forgot about the large piece of Earth Tai Sui that he buried in the ground.
After returning home, he was busy being intimate with the Yun sisters, secretly looking for He Mi to satisfy his cravings, facing the enthusiasm of Meng Zaihong who had just returned, and pulling Hou Yuhua to play uneven bars when he went to Zhang Shulan's house to treat her illness, and was called by Zhang Chaomei to treat Wang Chunhua's pigs.
Next, it was to treat the dog's injuries, Qingming Festival, spring plowing, and these messy trivial matters, which made Han Li not even remember the small part of Earth Tai Sui in the decomposition space.
When Han Li remembered that he had forgotten something, he talked to everyone while investing his mental power into the decomposition space.
Thanks: Uncle, run quickly. Reward: 100 points.
