【104】Eating dinner in the valley, living like a fairy
Li Xiaoming is not yet at the age of working.
In addition, he was a little lazy because he was spoiled by Li Daguo and the others.
So after digging a pit for a while, he was immediately exhausted and panting, sweating all over like a person who had done a lot of work.
After being tired, Li Xiaoming, who wanted to rest, was immediately panting and pretending to seek knowledge, asking the second-rate people whether they would be deducted for private cultivation of land and planting things privately. "Brother-in-law, is it really good for us to grow sweet potatoes here? If this is discovered by the people in your production team, will you be deducted any charges??"
Facing Li Xiaoming's excuse of being lazy, the second-rate boy replied to him with a disgust look on his face. "If you don't say it, I won't say it. If others find it, they will say that they can't finish eating the sweet potatoes at home and hide them in the ground. Besides, I'm not considered privately clearing the land. I'm given permission to get a place here to grow grass and feed the cows!!"
"Oh, that's it, then we grow the sweet potatoes here. What if someone finds it out after they grow sweet potatoes??" Seeing that this did not dispel the idea of growing sweet potatoes from second-rate seeds, Li Xiaoming immediately continued to work hard and continued to ask the second-rate seeds.
Li Xiaoming's pastime attitude made the second-rate frown, because the second-rate discovered signs of Li Xiaoming's development in the second-rate at this time; "If you find it, you will find it. At worst, you can say that the sweet potatoes are wild. They just want to take them away. Anyway, it's not a rare thing."
"Brother-in-law, you said that this kind of sweet potato will be dry in vain if you find it. If one is not done well, it may even be educated, so we might as well not grow it!!" Seeing that the second-rate boy's attitude towards sweet potatoes was so casual, Li Xiaoming immediately continued to encourage him not to grow sweet potatoes.
Seeing that Li Xiaoming was indeed as he thought, he had a lazy person of a second-rate man, the second-rate man put down the hatchet and asked him with a smile, "Oh, if you don't grow sweet potatoes, what are you going to do? Are you planning to go back to Lijia Village??"
"Why are you going back to Lijia Village so early? I plan to go to the small thatched house to listen to the radio and take a nap, and then wake up and have a snack or supper with you. I won't go back without eating your rabbit meat!!" When talking about his thoughts, Li Xiaoming had thrown his hoe aside, preparing to turn around and go to the small thatched house to rest.
I think if Li Xiaoming continues to be lazy like this, he will probably need to support Li Daguo and others in the future, and he will also need to support Li Xiaoming, a future lazy man or a family of this future lazy man.
For this reason, the moment Li Xiaoming put down his hoe, Erruizi spoke to him, "I remember you said before that as long as you give you meat, you shouldn't say you're digging a hole for me to plant sweet potatoes, it's okay to dig a fish pond, right?
Now that you don’t dig a hole to plant sweet potatoes, then you can dig a fish pond for me. If you get there, you can dig it according to your height. If you can’t dig it out, you won’t have to eat meat later. You won’t have to eat sweet potatoes!!”
Li Xiaoming, who was originally going to go to the small thatched house to rest, turned around and asked Erliuzi without tears after hearing Erliuzi's words, "Brother-in-law, my dearest brother-in-law, can I go back and continue digging pits and planting sweet potatoes now?"
"Don't waste my saliva, hurry up and start digging fish ponds. You can dig this fish pond. Even if you hide back to Lijia Village, I will ride a bike to pull you over and continue digging!!" Faced with Li Xiaoming's begging for mercy, the second liuzi pointed directly at the location where he asked Li Xiaoming to dig the fish pond, and replied to him who was irresponsible.
"Brother-in-law, you are no longer the brother-in-law who once loved me so much. Brother-in-law, you have changed... I'll take a sip of water and dig it again!" After pouting and complaining for a few words, Li Xiaoming began to use drinking water to delay time, but in the end he was still forced by the second liuzi to dig the fish pond with his eyes.
Li Cuicui, who had always been unable to stand Li Xiaoming, immediately washed her hands with a proud look on her face after Li Xiaoming was forced to work by a second-rate man.
After washing his hands, he went to the small grass room to turn on the radio and listen to the radio while starting to sleep. Li Xiaoming was so envious that he almost hit his feet with a hoe...
Ignoring Li Xiaoming's envy, the second-rate man who knows how to distinguish between rewards and punishments, after Li Xiaoming was reluctant but also dug out a certain position, he took out a banana and rewarded him...
Then, Li Xiaoming, who was originally very frustrated, faced the second-rate boy's banana handed over, as if he had found the lost love. He was so excited that he ate it in a few bites. Then, as if he had eaten Xuanmai, he was desperately digging the fish pond.
Of course, Li Xiaoming can't really stop it. It's not just digging for half an hour, and then he fell asleep on the weeds tied by Li Cuicui...
This time I was so tired that I went to rest, so the second-rate didn't say anything about Li Xiaoming. He was still chopping down his own miscellaneous trees calmly. Then when Li Cuicui was about to get up at around 4 o'clock, he went to use the steamer to make dinner tonight...
The supper that second-rate made tonight was very simple, with three steamed rice in lunch boxes, followed by braised rabbit meat, a fried noodles with pickles for lunch, and finally a vegetable soup.
After dinner was prepared, the second-rate boy walked to Li Xiaoming, reached out and pinched his chubby face and smiled, "Xiao Ming got up and finished his meal. If you don't get up, your sister will finish the rabbit meat!!"
"No, no, I can't finish the rabbit meat. I've done a lot of work to get the rabbit meat. Sister, you can't finish the rabbit meat. You won't... Brother-in-law, you lied to me!!" After shouting in a daze, don't get up from the haystack, seeing the second-rate boy smiling at him, Li Xiaoming rolled his eyes and was about to lie back and sleep again.
After reaching out to pull up Li Xiaoming, who was about to lie back, the second-rate boy pointed to the small dining table he made of a miscellaneous tree and said, "I didn't lie to you, look, that's not our supper, it's just that your sister hasn't gotten up yet..."
"I haven't gotten up yet, but I've woken up long ago. I've woken up while you were cooking, but I just don't want to get up..." As soon as the second liuzi said that before Li Cuicui got up, Li Cuicui immediately sat up from the bed and refuted him.
Faced with Li Cuicui's rebuttal, Erliuzi pointed to the bucket and toiletries beside the bed and said to her, "When you get up, hurry up and wash up. After washing, we will have supper. After dinner, we will go back to work, and then go home to cook bath water..."
"Well, okay, I'll wash up now, you don't allow me to eat first, especially Li Xiaoming, you are a guest now, you can follow the guests and wait until I start eating..." Nodding to the second-rate, and warning Li Xiaoming not to eat first, Li Cuicui took the tools prepared for her to wash up.
Li Xiaoming, who was sore all over when he dug a hole, was too lazy to go back to Li Cuicui's words at this time.
He sat down and came to his senses for a while, and then when Li Cuicui had washed up, he went to the table with the second-rate and others. He picked up a box of steamed rice and cooked rice and stir-fried pork with pickles and fatty sausages. He started to eat their supper...
Just when the second-rate and the others were having supper, the hunting dog, who had eaten second-rate twice in a row, became even more courageous this time, and it went straight to the second-rate and they came to wag their tails and asked for something to eat...
Facing the hunting dog coming forward, Li Cuicui and Erruizi didn't say anything, just threw all the bones they had eaten for it.
However, Li Xiaoming, who was still a child, was surprised and immediately threw the rabbit head that he had not eaten clean to it.
Then after receiving the hunting dog's tail wagging thanks, Li Xiaoming smiled in surprise, because this was his first time enjoying the joy of feeding.
Then Li Xiaoming began to stop eating meat. He specialized in eating more flesh and bones, rabbit feet, rabbit ribs, and in short, he started to eat bones and feed the hunting dogs...
The beautiful valley, the clear and bottomable pool, a small thatched house, a dog, a companion, a relative and a friend, a simple but sumptuous dinner. Although life is a little tired, it gives the second-rate a kind of life, and the life is like a god, but it feels like this...
Not only the second-rate guys have this feeling, but even Li Xiaoming and Li Cuicui have this feeling, especially Li Xiaoming, who has a bulging belly, which feels very deep...
In 1972, when materials were scarce, wouldn’t it be like a god-like life to have them? To be honest, this kind of life can be said to be the yearning and dream of everyone throughout the country at this time...
