MTL - Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It-Chapter 147 The whole village was shocked
Chapter 147 The whole village was shocked
Liu Huakang was very motivated to work. He sent the lecture schedule to Jiugong on the second day, and then started giving lectures according to the time on the third day.
At the same time, with the deliberate publicity of his wife Deng Changqing, basically everyone in the village knew the news.
Then, the whole village was in a sensation!
Most of the villagers couldn’t figure out why Deng Shirong did this. You must know that the tuition, fees and accommodation fees for high school are only 19.5 yuan per semester, while the tuition and fees for junior high schools and elementary schools are even lower.
Even so, not every household in the village can afford to send their children to study.
Even if they are sent, they will only send their sons to study. Many parents will not even give their daughters the opportunity to go to elementary school.
On the other hand, Deng Shirong not only let each of his seven children read what he didn't want to read, he even spent 20 yuan a month to hire someone to give lectures to his children. This kind of attitude of devoting all his efforts to cultivate his children's reading , which is really rare in rural areas of this era.
The villagers were shocked by Deng Shirong's actions, but at the same time they didn't quite understand them. They felt that Deng Shirong did this just to waste more money.
Deng Shirong said: "Come and take a look when you have nothing to do. You don't have to work yourself so hard. Why are you staying on the mountain all day? This work will never be finished. Just like the grass, let it grow taller. Hoeing is fine, it won’t affect the growth of the saplings.”
With his uncle’s guidance, Bu Dashi’s cooking skills are getting better day by day.
Seeing that his nephew had a certain foundation, and because Deng Shirong also hoped that his eldest daughter could spend more time focusing on studying, he personally taught his nephew how to cook.
On this day, Deng Shirong was going to his family's Lychee Mountain to see how the lychee trees were growing. When he was passing by a slope, a woman in her thirties with a big belly greeted him.
It wasn’t until the sixth child, when A Zhang Qi gave birth to a son, that her status in her husband’s family improved slightly.
When I heard my uncle say this, my eyes lit up. Although they were not afraid of hard work, they also knew how poisonous the sun was in June and July. It would be great if there was a house to provide shade and a temporary rest. .
A Zhang Qi said gratefully: "I know, thank you Jiu Gong!"
As for Jiang Dehu and Bu Dafang, the couple has not been idle. In addition to watering and fertilizing the planted cinnamon lychees and other fruit trees, they also planted many watermelons in the open space between the fruit trees. In addition to going back to their uncle's house at night Take a shower and sleep, and spend the rest of the time on Lychee Mountain.
Walking along the trapezoidal road up the mountain, you can see that the Guiwei lychee saplings are full of vitality, and the watermelon saplings have also grown. Plant ash and farmyard manure have been applied to them. It can be seen that his niece and nephew-in-law have been very busy during this period. He was really not idle and made a lot of contributions to his orchard.
…
With these things in mind, Deng Shirong quickly arrived at his home in Lizhi Mountain.
After going back to finish shoveling the mountain and planting rice seedlings at home, Bu Dashi came to his uncle's house again to learn how to cook.
Cooking is really a matter of talent. People with good talent can pick it up quickly and can synchronize their hands and eyes, while people with poor talent often have good eyesight but not hands.
After all, when you send your children to school, the teacher will give lectures, so why bother hiring someone else to give lectures?
Wouldn’t it be better to use this money to buy meat?
Half a catty of meat a day, even if you eat it every day, you won’t be able to finish the 20 yuan in a month. Isn’t this a hundred times better than paying someone to give a lecture?
Of course, not everyone is so short-sighted. There are also a small number of people in the village who praised Deng Shirong's actions after learning about it.
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen in later generations. At this time, pregnant women in later generations can walk without having their husbands support them. It is already very good. Although this kind of thing is normal in this day and age, Deng Shirong couldn't help but said: "Ah Zhang Qi, you are about to give birth, why are you going out to weed alone? This kind of thing makes your Ah Chun come." Just do it!”
…
Hearing this, Ah Zhang Qi forced a smile and said, "He has other work to do, just hoeing grass. I can still do that now."
Jiang Dehu chuckled and said, "Uncle, we don't have to work hard. When we see the grass growing, we can't help but want to **** it off."
Deng Shirong didn't know much to say when he saw this. He just warned: "Then be careful. If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, go back quickly."
Jiang Dehu and Bu Dafang had known for a long time that their uncle was going to build one or two houses on the mountain, and the place to build the house had been reserved in advance.
Deng Shirong nodded to her and continued walking to his family's Litchi Mountain. He also thought of what happened to Zhang Qi in his previous life.
At this time, it is the season of recovery for all things, and it is the period of vigorous growth of various plants. The previously planted hookworms (plants covered with thorns) have begun to grow rapidly. I believe that by this time next year, the orchard will be initially sealed. .
Deng Shirong looked at the sun in the sky and said, "The weather is going to get hotter. All the trees on the mountain have been cut down, and there is not even a place for shade. It seems that the house needs to be built in advance. Otherwise, in June and July, you will be exposed to the sun for such a long time in the mountains, how can you withstand it? "
I wonder which pregnancy this baby is in her belly now?
Looking at Zhang Qi’s big belly, she must be about to give birth, but she still comes to the field with a **** to weed.
How to cut vegetables, which vegetables need to be blanched, which vegetables need to be oiled, how to control the heat when cooking, when to add what seasonings, as well as the combination of vegetables and some special cooking techniques, Deng Shirong has no reservations. Taught it to my nephew.
Seeing Deng Shirong coming up, Jiang Dehu and Bu Dafang, who were hoeing, quickly put down their hoes and said hello.
Bu Dashi’s talent is quite good. After learning from his cousin for a while, he is now better than most people in the village in making some home-cooked dishes.
After Zhang Qi married Deng Changchun, she gave birth to five children in less than ten years. The birth frequency was still very good. Unfortunately, all the children she gave birth to were daughters. This made her completely unable to hold her head up in her husband's family. My mother-in-law pointed her nose in and scolded her, and she didn't even dare to say a word.
They didn’t even come back for lunch, Bu Dashi, who had nothing to do, brought it to them.
After all, not to mention this era, even in the rural areas of later generations, there are still many people who stubbornly believe that it is women's fault that they cannot give birth to sons, and they do not understand that having sons and daughters is entirely a man's problem.
“Uncle, why are you here?”
At the same time, Liu Huakang, who was originally a marginalized figure in the village, became the focus of discussion in the whole village because of this incident.
This woman's surname is Zhang, and she is the seventh in her natal family, so people in the village call her Zhang Qi.
…
“Nine Dukes!”
My uncle pays the couple 60 yuan a month. Of course they have to be worthy of this salary and work hard to take care of the fruit trees.
So, Bu Dafang said with a positive attitude: "Uncle, if we want to build a house, I think we can just build a wooden house. This is easy to build and doesn't cost much. If we have the wood, we can use our free time to build it ourselves." Build it up.”
Deng Shirong also knew that building bungalows on the mountain in this era was too wasteful, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will find someone to bring the materials and tools later, and then send big rocks to help you build a wooden house first, and then demolish it later." Build two bungalows.”
