In the 1970s, I sold my iron rice bowl, stocked up space and went to the countryside

"I also plan to bring back some bricks. If I tell Captain Wu this, he will definitely agree. After all, this shabby house standing here is also an eyesore. No one dares to get close to it, but I'm not afraid. I have enough yang energy."

Lu Qingyang explained with a smile.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Han Zhiqiang was too lazy to talk to him, so he could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, this is a public house.

He emphasized again, "But you must teach me to drive a tractor."

Lu Qingyang felt that teaching Han Zhiqiang to drive a tractor was much more difficult than repairing a house.

"I know, Captain Han, I will never give up on you."

After all the educated youth came back, Han Zhiqiang asked everyone about this.

"Have you seen that broken house? Is there anyone willing to help Lu Qingyang repair the house?"

Everyone looked at each other. Naturally, no one was willing to go. Everyone knew the rumors about that house.

"He will pay you according to the standards of the brigade. Now we need two people to help!"

When he heard that there was money, a male educated youth finally raised his hand. His family was relatively poor, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money.

In the end, he was the only one who was willing to help for the sake of the salary.

The other educated youths were either a little scared, or felt that they had to collect firewood, cook, and farm after work. It was too tiring and they had no time. Everyone couldn't finish their own work, so who would be willing to take on more work?

Lu Qingyang had almost expected the result. One person to help was enough. Isn't there Sun Xiangqian?

There were three of them in total.

The impoverished male educated youth took the initiative to find Lu Qingyang, "My name is Zhou Jianshe, I can help you."

"Okay, I'll pay you, and I'll give you a dinner while you work."

When Zhou Jianshe heard this, he grinned and said, "I'll be there in a minute."

He was not afraid of ghosts. What was more terrifying than ghosts in the world was being poor and not having enough food to eat.

Lu Qingyang's plan was to repair the three big holes in the roof of the house first.

It was sunny these days. If it rained, this place would not be like a water curtain cave.

First, the beams had to be repaired with wood. They had ready-made tools at hand, so they used a saw to saw the wood that was not discarded.

According to the length of the roof, it was sawed into strips.

The beams were easy to handle, mainly the tiles of the house.

He mainly needed tiles to keep out the rain, so he asked Zhou Jianshe: "Is there a brick factory nearby?"

"Yes, but it's a little far away, and it's troublesome to transport it here. We have two days off this month, so you can go and have a look then!"

Lu Qingyang did have this plan, but now he had to reinforce the beams first, so as to prevent the house from collapsing first.

After the three people finished their work, they were all exhausted.

Lu Qingyang was not stingy, and took out biscuits for the two to fill their stomachs first.

Sun Xiangqian and Zhou Jianshe were indeed hungry, and they didn't hesitate to eat biscuits.

Lu Qingyang began to deal with the wild rabbits caught today.

The military knife he bought before was very sharp, and the rabbit fur was completely peeled off. I heard from the villagers in the brigade that these furs could still be sold for money.

This time, after he cleaned the rabbit, he looked at the white radish that Uncle Tie had just brought to the door, and prepared to stew a rabbit and radish soup.

The bitter melon found in the mountains was blanched and served cold, mixed with sesame oil, salt, sesame and pepper.

The staple food was the wild vegetable dumplings left over from last night, which was also a hearty meal.

Zhou Jianshe came back after washing his hands and saw several bowls on the simple wooden board, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

He originally thought that it should be a simple and casual meal, but he didn't expect that there would be meat and vegetables. He couldn't help but be in a trance for a long time.

"You also caught a rabbit, didn't you exchange it for work points? Stew it directly?"

"We don't lack such a few work points. It would be great to eat it to replenish our bodies. Don't be stunned, use your chopsticks!"

Lu Qingyang's life motto, you can treat others badly but not yourself.

Zhou Jianshe served a bowl of rabbit meat and radish soup, took a sip, and immediately an indescribable deliciousness spread in his mouth, and then he drank the whole bowl of soup in a flash.

The juicy cold-mixed bitter melon exuded the scent of sesame oil, and suddenly I remembered the taste of home, and I couldn't help but feel sour in my eyes.

Seeing that he was about to cry with emotion, Lu Qingyang couldn't help but comfort him: "Is it not enough? If it's not enough, there's more. I said dinner is enough."

Zhou Jianshe rubbed his eyes, "It's enough, it's just that it's so delicious, it reminds me of my mother."

He is now grateful that he is willing to help, otherwise how could he eat such delicious food.

Here, for ten days and a half months, there is no meat to eat.

"By the way, Jianshe, although the food here is good, you must not tell others, lest some people get jealous. " Lu Qingyang put down his chopsticks and reminded.

"Don't worry. ”

People took out meat to treat him, so he was not a heartless person.

After Zhou Jianshe and Sun Xiangqian left, Lu Qingyang squatted at the door with a bowl of carrot soup.

I was thinking, why hasn't Shen Mo come to beg for food today?

After waiting for a long time, she didn't show up. It seems that she won't come today.

Lu Qingyang could only take the bowl in. Maybe she was full today.

Forget it, she's just an orphan. Is it worth his concern? Maybe he felt sorry for her. Her thin body would fall down if the wind blew.

It's better to wash up early, go to the space to work for a while, and rest early.

Lu Qingyang closed the door, but suddenly heard a small sound coming from outside. At first he thought it was Shen Mo, but later he found that it shouldn't be the case.

He heard the footsteps of two people, echoing outside the house.

Then he found that there was something in the gap of the door. Two snakes crawled in.

At first, Lu Qingyang was a little panicked, but as a botanist, he stayed in the wild all year round and had seen this kind of snake.

This kind of black snake is a common snake in the countryside and is not poisonous.

But in this weather, snakes usually hibernate. How could a snake crawl into his house for no reason?

He thought for a moment and then realized that it must be the two people outside who were causing trouble. They took out the hibernating snakes from somewhere, woke them up and threw them into his house on purpose.

His house was warm, and the cold-fearing snakes would definitely crawl in to the warm place.

Moreover, the two snakes were originally hibernating, and their stomachs were empty. If they came in, they might bite him.

Lu Qingyang opened the shaky door and was about to drive the two snakes out.

But he found that a figure quickly appeared in front of him and pinched the approaching black snake with his bare hands. The snake, which was pinched by seven inches, twisted and turned, but could not bite the owner of the hands.
