Chapter 78： earthquake

Miao Jiao packed up her luggage that day and was ready to leave in a car that was just out of the army.

When Fu Rongmei came back, she heard the news and went back to the dormitory. She looked at Miao Jiao's cleaning up, her expression full of surprise.

"Are you leaving?" Fu Rongmei asked.

Miao Jiao kept moving her hands and said, "Don't you want me to leave quickly?"

Fu Rongmei smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it this way. It's better to have a classmate like you as a comrade-in-arms than a stranger."

Hearing this, Miao Jiao suddenly put down her clothes, looked up at her, and smiled: "Really? I only know that you have always wanted to surpass me. It has been since we became classmates. Between us, It's just a competitor's relationship. You don't want Dr. Zhao's job to be taken over by you in the future, and you don't want me to leave?"

"So you think about me." Fu Rongmei walked to her, "Then you were wrong. I never regarded you as a so-called competitor, I just regarded you as a classmate, colleague, comrade-in-arms, you There are some areas where my professional ability is better than me. I admire you for this, so I have been working hard to become as good as you are."

Listening to her, Miao Jiao clenched her fists, her eyes in disbelief.

Fu Rongmei continued: "Miao Jiao, maybe because you were born so good, you have been blinded to the outside world since you were young, so you always feel good about yourself and don't know how to learn from each other. Yes, I admit that you are excellent. , In some respects, so I want to work hard to learn from your excellent places, but in some places, you are not better than me, just say that we go up the mountains to collect medicine and have the ability to survive and protect yourself. You are not as good as me. , I know that I have many shortcomings and shortcomings, so I have always been studying and improving, not like you, standing still and self-righteous."

"you……"

Without waiting for Miao Jiao to speak, Fu Rongmei hurriedly interrupted, "I am not scolding you. I just think you may not have such a deep understanding of yourself. As a classmate, friend, comrade, so I came to see you today, too. Come and say something sweet to you. If you find it unpleasant, you will treat it as if you have never heard of it. Life is yours anyway."

Miao Jiao ignored her and quickly packed up, wishing to leave the dormitory immediately, not wanting to get involved with Fu Rongmei again.

When Qin Lingling heard Fu Rongmei talk about this, Miao Jiao had already left the army, saying that she had gone to another army.

"Walking in such a hurry?" Qin Lingling asked.

Fu Rongmei nodded, "It's normal. In fact, the teacher told her about it two months ago, but she didn't agree. This time I passed, probably because there happened to be relatives there!"

Fu Rongmei did not explicitly say that Miao Jiao left because she figured it out and didn’t want to get involved with Gu Zheng anymore. Although she did nothing, her thoughts have already affected her future and indirectly. Platoon Leader Gu’s reputation has been affected. Miao Jiao’s best way to do this is to leave this place of right and wrong, go to a new place, and change his life. Maybe she won’t think about it again.

Simply Miao Jiao has her own pride, and she has never said clearly that she is fond of Gu Zheng, otherwise, her superiors would not allow her to mess around.

Of course Qin Lingling knew what Fu Rongmei meant?

She replied, "That's good too."

The matter with Miao Jiao is over, but Qin Lingling's legs and feet are still swollen.

In the evening, the couple had finished talking about Miao Jiao, and suddenly looked at each other.

In the end, it was Qin Lingling who couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Gu Zheng asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Look at the two of us, is this year unfavorable? You are injured, and I am also injured."

Gu Zheng looked at the position of his chest. He was not wearing any clothes, and even the wound was directly exposed to the air. He didn't dare to stay stuffy all day, because he was afraid that the stuffy wound would not heal.

Now the wound is crusted, and for him, it is already good.

He looked at Qin Lingling's feet. Although the swelling position was still a little swollen, it was not as red as before, and he was recovering.

But in this way, the couple can only sleep peacefully at night and dare not make any small movements.

Qin Lingling plans to stay for a few more days, and when Gu Zheng recovers and her legs heal, she will find time to go back.

However, she never expected that she was thinking about it. Gu Zheng was supposed to be at the base at noon, but suddenly came back in a hurry. The radio outside the barracks kept making emergency sounds.

Watching Gu Zheng walked in with a solemn expression, Qin Lingling mended her clothes, and quickly stood up, "What's the matter?"

Gu Zheng said: "There was an accident in Tangshan. My comrades in arms and I need to go there."

"what!!"

Qin Lingling looked at him in shock.

After carefully calculating the time, I remembered that this is a major earthquake that occurs once in a hundred years in 1976. Isn’t today the second day of the earthquake?

The earthquake occurred at night, and many people left in their sleep. On that day, many families lost their homes because of this natural disaster.

She was thinking about this a few days ago, but she knew that she couldn't do anything at all? It is impossible for her to run over and say, what will happen at any time, it is estimated that no one will be saved at that time, and she will be regarded as a mental problem.

Later she thought, what she was staying in was a world of books, and perhaps this tragedy could be avoided.

After coming to the army, he thought about Gu Zheng's affairs wholeheartedly, but forgot about it. Thinking about it now, in all the essays of the era, even in the especially empty books, the big events are based on history, but the stories of the little people are different for everyone.

Qin Lingling watched him eagerly pack his clothes, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah." Gu Zheng had already packed up, and said to her: "We are going back to gather soon, and we will take the train to support today. An earthquake will bring many problems. We have received instructions from our superiors and need to go to the scene immediately. "

Qin Lingling knew that this was Gu Zheng's mission. As a soldier, he could not escape.

"Then your injury..." Qin Lingling looked at his chest.

"It's okay, it's not serious, and it's not about fighting criminals with guns, that is, helping. It won't be very troublesome."

Gu Zheng said that it was simple, but Qin Lingling was a person who experienced the 2008 earthquake. Even if it was not on the scene, the TV reports at that time were terrible. The earthquake was caused by the daytime, but there were a lot of deaths.

Natural disasters are the most terrible. In front of nature, human life is very small.

It is not safe after a major earthquake, and there will be many aftershocks.

But she couldn't hold Gu Zheng from letting him help, full of worry, she could only hold his hand and look at him with red eyes, "Then you must come back safely and watch out for aftershocks."

"Um."

"I know that you have your mission. You promised me that you must protect yourself without violating your ethics of responsibility."

Gu Zheng knew that this injury scared the little girl in front of her, after all, she was someone who had never experienced anything.

Even he, people who have experienced death, will fear him before the disaster strikes, but as a soldier, it is his natural responsibility to defend his family and the country. Even if he is afraid, he must face the difficulties.

He can only respond, "I know, I will do my best to protect myself."

Holding the worried girl in his arms, Gu Zheng took a deep breath, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

Qin Lingling nodded, trying to stabilize herself.

She knew that dangerous things like this would happen in the future, and it would be even bigger than this time.

She was sent all the way to the gathering location of the base.

Not only her, many people also came out to send them off.

This is Qin Lingling's first visit to the training base of Gu Zheng. It looks nothing special here, but she knows that this is the place where Gu Zheng shed blood and sweat.

All the people gathered in the clearing. Not only did they come, but also Fu Rongmei, wearing a white coat and carrying a medicine kit.

Seeing Fu Rongmei, Qin Lingling hurried forward, "Doctor Fu, are you?"

"I also applied for disaster relief."

"That's it! Then you pay attention to safety and protect yourself."

"Don't worry, I will protect myself and save as many lives as possible." Fu Rongmei said, looking at where Gu Zheng was, "You are very worried about platoon leader Gu!"

Qin Lingling didn't hide it, and replied, "Well, his injury is not completely healed yet."

Fu Rongmei said: "As a soldier, this is the case. You have to use flesh and blood to carry this mission of defending the country. But don't worry, we are just going to help. Gu platoon leader is very capable and nothing will happen. "

"Well, I know, I believe him."

She said that, but when Gu Zheng was about to leave, Qin Lingling couldn't help crying and ran over.

She felt that she was strong before, but since she had Gu Zheng, the tears have not been lost.

"You must come back safely." Qin Lingling said to Gu Zheng as she walked.

Gu Zheng could only wipe away her tears, rubbing her rough fingers on her smooth cheeks for fear of bruising.

"I will, don't worry!"

"When you come back, we will be a real husband and wife." Qin Lingling kept her mouth flat, saying that she was very wronged.

If they didn't know what was going on, others would think that Gu Zheng forced her to say this.

But she said quietly, only the couple, no one could hear what she said?

Gu Zheng was dumbfounded by her words, so he could only respond, "I'm a reporter."

Probably no one thought that the two had been married for a year, and they had no actual behavior. Qin Lingling thought that when they came to the army this time, the two would be able to be together, but Gu Zheng was injured, she was injured, and she wanted to wait for the injury to heal. If it's over, I handed myself over to Gu Zheng.

But I didn't expect that the injury was still not healed, and Gu Zheng was about to leave.

Seeing the tall Dongfeng car driving out from the base, all the soldiers who went to support the disaster relief were waving at their family and comrades.

Wang Lan looked at Qin Lingling who was crying like a rabbit from a distance, and walked over with the child Xiaobao.

"Lingling?"

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Lingling wiped away her tears with hindsight, not daring to let people see her fragile side.

"Sister-in-law, are you also here to send Battalion Commander Shen?" Qin Lingling asked.

Wang Lan saw her crying in her eyes long ago, and saw her holding back her tears, and said with relief: "Don't worry, it will be all right."

Qin Lingling nodded, "Well, I know." As she said, she quickly wiped away tears.

Wang Lan looked at her with a soft voice, "Let's go back together!"

"it is good."

On the way, Wang Lan asked her, "Is very worried about Xiao Gu?"

Qin Lingling didn't hide it, and answered, "Yes."

But seeing Wang Lan's face calm, she seemed to have become accustomed to these things, and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, are you not worried?"

Wang Lan smiled: "Worry, why not worry?"

"and you……"

"Even if you are worried, you have to believe that he can protect yourself. Even if you are worried, don't you have to live this life? After he leaves, I have to be strong and live a good life, not to be confused. He came back and saw the mess. Yes, how sad?"

Wang Lan paused, and then said: "Actually, when I was as young as you, Xiaobao's dad was on a mission, and I was too panicked. I was always afraid that he would not come back. The child was so young that I was afraid that he would be lost. We left our mother and daughter. When I heard that he had a mission, he left at night, crying so scared that he would not let him go, but he was a soldier and had a mission he had to shoulder. I can’t be selfish. I have a family and others. There are also families. He just went to help and set up a task. At that time, I couldn't sleep all night and all night. Every time I was worried that something would happen to him, but gradually, the number of tasks was too many. At that time, I stopped crying and stopped making trouble. Although I was worried, I didn’t want him to worry about me. When I got up in the middle of the night and needed a task, I would tidy up for him, and if possible, I would cook a bowl of noodles for him. Let him know that if he is not at home, I will take care of the house well, so that he can be busy outside with peace of mind."

What Wang Lan said, as if a door in front of him was opened, Qin Lingling suddenly figured it out.

Wang Lan patted her hand, "But you are still young. It is normal for you to be uncomfortable at the beginning. You will be worried. It also proves that you have a husband who has gone away in your heart. This is what we should experience as a military sister-in-law. Wait for time. Over time, you will gradually get used to it, and you will be proud of him."

Although Wang Lan's remarks cannot resolve all Qin Lingling's worries, all she can do now is to wait for Gu Zheng to return safely and always pay attention to the situation in Tangshan.

However, since Gu Zheng left the army, there was no need for her to stay in the army anymore.

Before leaving, she cleaned Gu Zheng's house inside and out, hoping that when he came back, it would be clean and comfortable to sleep.

After everything was cleaned up, she set off for home early the next morning.

When Wang Lan heard that she was leaving, she communicated with the soldiers who had left the army to send her off. Fortunately, the army's car was sent out. She arrived at home in the evening of the same day.

When she went there was a big bag, but when she came back, she was much more relaxed.

Gu Yao's sister-in-law is not at home these days and is a bit busy, but Gu Guoqiang and Gu Chunhua next door help out occasionally, which is pretty easy.

It's just that the sister-in-law is not there, and the three siblings are not as fun as before.

Gu Guoqiang returned from work and sat at his door. Seeing Gu Yao coming back with pig grass on his back, he muttered, "Sister, when will my sister-in-law be back?"

Gu Yao put down the pig grass, "How do I know? My sister-in-law didn't say which day I would go home, how would I know?"

"Sister-in-law won't be able to finish eating this lychee if she doesn't come back."

Gu Yao looked at the lychee shells there, and said with a joke: "I think you can eat it, but I didn't see you keeping some?"

"Isn't it because my sister-in-law didn't come back? Besides, you can climb a tree yourself, so I have to pick it for you."

"Don't tell you, I'm too lazy to care about you, I'll feed the pigs."

"I helped you drive the chicken in." Gu Guoqiang shouted behind him.

As he was talking, he saw a person walking towards their house from a distance.

The boy's eyes lit up suddenly, "Sister, sister..."

Gu Yao was impatient with him. Hearing the eager shout, he cursed directly: "Don't call me, I'll feed the pigs." As he said, he threw the piggrass back into the pigpen for the two pigs to eat.

I’ve been raising pigs for half a year, and now I’ve grown a lot, and I’m white and fat. Gu Yao thinks, at the end of this year, I will definitely have a lot of meat.

Gu Guoqiang on the other side saw the person clearly and shouted, "Sister, sister-in-law is back, sister-in-law is back..."

When Li Dani walked to the door of the house, she heard her silly son shouting for his sister-in-law to come back excitedly, and her mother, such a big person, didn't even move her son's eyes.

Immediately he picked up his son's ears, "Well, how about the soul, why don't you hurry home?"

Gu Guoqiang is not the same as the previous Gu Guoqiang. He was caught by his ears, and quickly broke free, and then walked in the direction of Qin Lingling who had walked back.

"Hey, you stinky boy, it's the other way around, right..."

How can Li Dani control Gu Guoqiang, she is the lifeblood of her life, but now she can run and jump, and is not constrained by her. She used to ask for some money, but now she doesn’t need to give it anymore. If she has no money, she will take it from his father and say what to let. The brigade advances the money he earns.

Gu Yao also heard the shout, throwing only a small half of a basket of hogweed into the pigpen, and quickly dropped the basket without wearing any shoes, and ran out directly.

Gu Guoqiang had already reached Qin Lingling and asked while following, "Sister-in-law, you are only coming back now."

"Yeah." Qin Lingling had been in the car for a day. Even if she had prepared something in advance to avoid motion sickness, she could still toss her life in half. This time she replied weakly to Gu Guoqiang.

Seeing her exhaustion, Gu Guoqiang became a little maid and quickly helped Qin Lingling, "Come on, sister-in-law, I'll help you a little bit, get tired!"

"Well, I'm tired, I'm exhausted by car."

"Sister-in-law, you won't be notified when you come back. I will be able to pick you up, and you won't have to go so long."

Qin Lingling wanted to inform them to pick her up, but in this era, there are no mobile phones, and things that don't even exist in BB machines. How did she notify Gu Guoqiang?

Thinking about it this way, she felt more and more how happy the world she used to live in, with fast transportation, convenient internet, and being able to walk around the world without leaving home, eating and drinking, moving her mobile phone, and doing everything.

It's a pity, in such an era, there are still more than thirty years away from her now.

Gu Yao also ran out, watching Gu Guoqiang supporting her sister-in-law, and also hurriedly stepped forward to help her. "Sister-in-law, I will pick you up when I know you are back, so I don't have to go so far."

Qin Lingling: "It's okay, I'm home."

After all her strength was gone, Qin Lingling finally got home and lay on her bed, taking a good rest.

Gu Yao put him down and said thoughtfully: "Sister-in-law, are you hungry, take a break first, and I will cook for you right away."

Gu Guoqiang poured water over, "Sister-in-law, drink some water."

Seeing that this sister-in-law and uncle are so well-behaved, Qin Lingling's tossing along the way, after arriving home, only full of relief.

"Thank you."

Gu Yao didn't dare to delay, went into the house, steamed the rice first, then steamed two egg custards and added dried radish to make up for the sister-in-law.

There are many fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden at home, so she picked some cucumbers casually and mixed them with a cold cucumber.

During Qin Lingling’s absence, Gu Yao kept cooking by herself. Although it was not as delicious as her sister-in-law, she also learned a lot from her sister-in-law. Although the cooking is not particularly delicious, it is not bad. NS.

Before Qin Lingling was not at home, every time Gu Yao cooks, Gu Guoqiang loves to go to this kitchen and wants to eat something good.

Qin Lingling is now physically and mentally exhausted, and there is still a bit of pain in her sprained ankle.

Seeing the eldest sister working alone, Gu Guoqiang also ran in and said to help, "Sister, can I help you? I think my sister-in-law is very hungry."

Gu Yao didn't object, "Okay, let me watch the fire, I will pick some water spinach, fry a dish, and then I can eat."

"Row."

The siblings were busy working together at a fast speed. While the fire was still burning, Gu Guoqiang went out and fed the hogweed that hadn't been fed into the pigpen.

Of course Li Dani in the next room saw all this, her eyes flushed with anger, but Gu Guoqiang ignored her what she said.

"Gu Guoqiang, if you don't come back, you will never come back."

Gu Guoqiang shook the pig grass basket clean, and glanced at his exasperated mother at the door, "Mom, how many times have you said this sentence? Let's put it another way."

"You...you brat..."

"My sister-in-law finally came back, so I just helped. Besides, I will give me everything that is good for my sister-in-law. What's wrong with me? Do you really want me to be the only child without brothers and sisters in the future?"

Li Dani choked, thinking that the village has been talking about having fewer children and having children late. Now every household is saying that they can no longer have children by themselves. The country does not allow them to have so many children. It is estimated that the children in the future will be an only child. A brother and sister help, these parents are old, just such a child, but it is going to be miserable, if you want to meet a disobedient child, these two elders will wait to die!

Unexpectedly, as soon as she heard about it, her son started to anger her.

Li Dani isn't a fool either. I didn't like Gu Zheng and Qin Lingling before. Isn't it because they took away the interests that belonged to her to make them so angry?

But now the family is divided. It has been more than half a year. Even if she is angry, she knows that she can't adapt it. Now she should be thinking about how to create better benefits for her son.

She usually walks around the house. These women will also talk about their own affairs. Many people praise her. Now the son is sensible, but he doesn't have to worry about his son as before. The child is obedient, which is more important than anything.

They also said that Gu Guoqiang would become like this, thanks to the husband and wife next door. Although Li Dani is reluctant to admit it, she has to admit that because of Qin Lingling, she has been worried about her son not getting better. After Qin Lingling did not know how to educate, she has really changed. It's different.

Although she is lazy and loves to care about others, she knows exactly what her son is like.

Now that her son is obedient and sensible, and others praise her, she is also happy in her heart. If she can't teach her son well, others have helped her. What's upsetting? It's just that sometimes she is too irritating, and it makes her hate her teeth, and also hate the next door to teach her son, and at the same time, it also makes him incomparable to herself.

But like others said, this family is divided, and she doesn't need to remember anymore. Now she should have a good relationship with the neighbor next door, and it will do no harm to her son in the future.

You know, what a glorious thing there is a soldier in this village, and people still have positions. This is different from ordinary soldiers, and they may become leaders in the future.

Li Dani thought about this, and knew that the next door was profitable. This was the one who opened her eyes and closed her eyes, and she would hear her son's words, and at the same time she was angry, she also felt that what he said was reasonable, not for a while. Do you know that you should continue to scold, or should you not scold? If you don’t curse, you will feel aggrieved. If you curse, you really have finished cursing the brotherhood. What can you do with your son's future?

Does Gu Guoqiang know what her mother is thinking? He simply thinks that his brother and sister-in-law are not as hateful as his mother said, and they are happily living these days, but he doesn't want to have **** with his brother and sister-in-law, multiple brothers, how good is this, there are things that can be discussed, and brother and sister-in-law are in pain.

After finishing the work of feeding the pigs, he hurried back to the house again, watching the fire not go out.

Before it was completely dark, Gu Yao prepared the food and carried it to the main house.

"Sister-in-law, you can eat now."

Qin Lingling didn't fall asleep, but lay down for a while. After all, she went to bed early last night and slept in the car.

This will alleviate, but it's not that uncomfortable.

Looking at the steamed eggs, tapping cucumbers, and water spinach, there is peanut oil on the spinach, and the aroma is tangy.

Gu Yao served her a meal and waited on her like a little maid, "Sister-in-law, let's eat first!"

"Okay, thank you, Yaoyao."

Gu Yao was embarrassed to be thanked, "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Our family should all behave."

"Um."

Qin Lingling picked up the chopsticks and ate the dishes that Gu Yao cooked. The taste was almost the same as what she cooked.

She joked: "It seems that you have made a lot of progress during the time I am away from home."

"Sister-in-law, I am still not as good as you."

"It's not bad. If you work hard in the future, it will definitely be even better."

"Yeah." Gu Yao responded, and talked about her recent study problems.

Because the sister-in-law was not there, she could only read the book by herself. There was some knowledge in the book, and she could not read it without the guidance of the teacher.

"Then show it to me later, and mark the ones you don't understand."

Gu Yao hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't be so eager, I will wait for you to rest tomorrow, and then show you what you don't understand, you can just answer me at that time."

"Well, that's fine too."

"By the way, sister-in-law, how do you feel about going to the army? My brother is okay? I listened to the radio and said that there was an earthquake in the north the night before, and many people were sent to help. My brother..."

"Your brother went too." Qin Lingling said calmly.

There are worries, but I don't cry anymore.

"Oh, I guessed it." Gu Yao said.

After all, my elder brother is a soldier. This kind of thing has to be mobilized in organization, even if it is not in one place, the army will be sent to help.

"I just hope that this kind of thing can be over quickly, but it's okay to stop dying." Although Gu Yao is young, she has heard a lot of natural disasters over the years, especially during her first few years of birth. .

Qin Lingling was relieved, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

"Um."

After a one-night rest, Qin Lingling's life is going to be formal. Although the school has not yet started, her family is also busy.

After the peanuts were plucked, Gu Yao has been helping out the sun for the past few days. In summer, the weather changes rapidly. It looks like a clear sky here. Maybe a dark cloud will suddenly come over and sprinkle a field of boiling water, so the peanuts have not dried for several days.

When Gu Yao went out in the morning, it was still early, and Qin Lingling only dried the peanuts when she got up.

After finishing their work, they took the chickens out of the enclosure and asked them to go to the back mountain to find food.

The hen has been raised for half a year. The chick has turned into a hen. Now she has laid eggs several times. The eggs that Gu Yao steamed for her yesterday were born from the hens at home.

Every household in the village has a limit for raising chickens. This is to prevent speculation. Even those eggs are not bred with roosters, they are empty eggs, and no chicks can be hatched.

In this age, everyone can't eat a few catties of meat all year round. The only thing that feeds the body may be these eggs. Only at the end of the year, when the hen gets older, it will be slaughtered. Waiting for another batch of chicks next year, and so on.

Qin Lingling drove the hen out and found two eggs in the coop.

There are four or five chickens in the family, two of them are males, but when they have grown for more than two months, there will be pheasants who come to castrate the chickens.

The chickens were released and searched for food, while Qin Lingling went into the house and took out the quilt from the house to wash and dry.

When cooking at noon, dark clouds suddenly floated in the sky, and Qin Lingling hurriedly cleaned up the peanuts, and then the sun came out again, and she could only put the peanuts out.

After repeated drying for two days, the peanuts on the shore finally dried up.

The selected seeds are reserved for the second half of the season, and the rest are taken to the oil mill for oil extraction.

When the village goes to the oil mills to press oil, the collectives go together. Because the oil mills are not easy to press oil once, they are usually piled together.

There are two ways for oil mills to extract oil. One is that you don’t need money, but the oil squeezed from the oil needs to be given to the oil mill, and the other is to give the oil mill money and you keep it yourself. After all, although the oil is almost squeezed, it still smells oily. Putting the vegetables into the boil, the soup is full of oil. Many people would rather give money to keep the oil. Of course, there are some people who don't want the oil to dry up, and would rather use the money to change the oil back.

The time for this oil extraction has not yet been unified. Everyone is busy farming. The production team also turns over the grain produced this season to the public, and the rest is divided according to the population, even Qin Lingling also has a part.

Regardless of her being a teacher, she is the teacher of two village students, so the two brigades negotiated and had her share, but it was different from the normal labor force, and she was only allocated a small part.

But even a small part of it is food.

For example, peanuts and sweet potatoes do not need to be handed in. Peanuts are pressed for oil. According to the labor force, sweet potatoes are also allocated to no additional households, but in addition to labor, other workers, including children, will be divided into the next part.

While everyone was busy planting grain, Qin Lingling couldn’t stay idle either. He used a **** to loosen the ground with peanuts, and then divided it into two fields. One was ready to grow rice, and the other was a small part. It is used to grow peanuts in the fall and save them for next year.

Rice needs water. In summer, there are many ditches in the mountains. Qin Lingling led the water from the ditches in the mountains to the farmland as everyone did. As long as the water is introduced into the farmland and the soil in the field is dispersed, it will be convenient for planting seedlings.

The rice seedling Qin Lingling communicated well with Chen Fen’s sister-in-law. Her family did not have rice seeds, so she could use rice seeds with Chen Fen’s family. She could give money or exchange them.

Chen Fen said that he wanted to pay, but Chen Fen refused, "It's not necessary. Anyway, it's not a big deal, but you have to wait for the rice to grow. It will take more than half a month to shovel the seedlings at the beginning."

Qin Lingling said that everything depends on Chen Fen's wife.

Don't look down on this field, but with no cattle and no manpower, Qin Lingling will have to be busy for a few days by herself. With so many hoes, her palms are blistering, which is uncomfortable.

But something kept her busy, but she didn't keep thinking about Gu Zheng's affairs. Just like Wang Lan's sister-in-law said, you should trust your husbands and believe that they will be taken care of every time and return safely.

After returning home for a week, Tian was finally busy. Qin Lingling peeled the peanuts first, and then went to the field to plant the peanuts when she was free.

She brought something that everyone called the triangle iron can pull the ditch. Pull the loose soil and use the triangle iron tip to pull the ditch on the soil. Then you can plant peanuts, and then flatten the soil with your feet. In this way, peanuts You can bury it in the soil, and then put the mud on the side with a hoe, and the peanuts will be finished.

However, this theory is very easy. In fact, Qin Lingling is not so capable.

Just which triangle is, because there are three mouths, it is deadly heavy, and it is not easy to control it and draw it in a straight line.

The first time she pulled it out, it was crooked, and she pulled a good piece of land apart.

Pull it the second time. It is straighter, but it is too shallow. It is not good to put peanuts in a shallow trench. It is easy to wait for the peanut seedlings to grow. The roots of the peanuts cannot stick in the soil. Bear peanuts.

After pulling it several times, she finally straightened the ditch and deepened it. Watching other aunts who took their children at home, put the children on the ridge, and they could work. If the children were younger, they would put their backs directly It’s a lot of strength and fast to work.

The rest of the job is much simpler to be ditched, but when Qin Lingling finishes this work, one day will pass.

The sky is sunny and rainy, and the rice in the farmland is also in the stage of rushing to harvest.

Don't look at Qin Lingling's peanuts are planted, but the production team is still busy harvesting.

Gu Yao was too busy to come back at noon, saying that Qin Lingling could eat alone at noon.

At home alone, Qin Lingling had a simple meal. Steamed two sweet potatoes, made some gruel, and served with capers that she made before.

Gu Dashun’s family next door is not at home today. Like Qin Lingling, she should have gone to help, but she had injured her foot before. Chen Fen also knew that, plus she had just returned from the army and said she didn’t need to go there. Just stay busy at home. It's not that the teacher has preferential treatment, but because Qin Lingling is a proud soldier in her village.

When the hay at home ran out, Qin Lingling finished her housework and went up the mountain carrying the basket she had woven before.

The back basket is new, freshly dried, and now it still smells of bamboo incense.

At the nearby hill, now the firewood has been cut and picked up. It will take a few days for the grass to grow, so she can only go to the farther hill.

On the way, she did not expect to meet Yang Qin from the farm next door.
