rebirth of cataclysm

Early the next morning, Hu Mingchen got up before dawn to go for a run and exercise as usual.

Hu Mingchen felt angry and helpless all night, but after a boring night, Hu Mingchen also looked away. His parents were always like that, and if they wanted to change, it would not happen overnight.

Maybe there are some problems with their attitudes and methods of doing things, but life will continue after all. Blaming others cannot solve any problems, it can only affect them little by little through progress and improvement of life.

However, to Hu Mingchen's expectation, he got up, got dressed, opened the door, and saw his father Hu Jianjun and mother Jiang Yucai also getting up.

"Xiaochen, are you going for a run? I have steamed some sweet potatoes and they are already cooked. You can eat two before you go." Seeing Hu Mingchen coming out, Jiang Yucai approached him and said caringly.

"It's still dark, why did you get up so early?" Hu Mingchen asked deeply while squeezing toothpaste onto his toothbrush.

"Let's get up to promote the ginger harvest. Your father and I plan to go somewhere far away today. He will go to Yakou Village and I will go to Jiangjiazhai, so I will get up early to get something to eat and then go out early." Jiang Yucai was a little flattered.

said.

Hu Mingchen paused in his movements, looked at Jiang Yucai in surprise, and then looked at Hu Jianjun who was squatting on the ground peeling sweet potatoes.

"What are you looking at me for? Don't worry, I won't drink anymore today, and I won't eat anywhere else." Catching Hu Mingchen's gaze from the corner of his eye, Hu Jianjun bit off one end of the sweet potato in his hand and said with a huff from the heat.

After Hu Mingchen returned to the house last night, Hu Jianjun climbed into bed without washing his face. By the time Jiang Yucai went to bed, he had already had a good sleep and was mostly awake from alcohol.

Hu Jianjun woke up, and Jiang Yucai's political class officially began. She not only scolded Hu Jianjun from head to toe, but also revealed the conversation between Hu Mingchen and her.

After he sobered up, Hu Jianjun did feel ashamed. The two of them lay on the bed and began to reflect. Hu Jianjun was ashamed, and Jiang Yucai was not much better. Thinking of everything that happened to Hu Mingchen recently, she also felt uncomfortable.

After some discussion, Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun decided that they should still help complete the ginger business. After all, a lot of money has been spent and what needs to be done has been done. At this time, the chain will fall off.

It is indeed very inappropriate.

It was precisely because of the one or two hours of in-depth dialogue last night that Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai got up so early. According to their own plans, each of them must complete at least one village today. If they have spare time, they will strive for two villages.

.

Jiang Yucai's husband's family is from Jiangjiazhai, so she can get twice the result with half the effort by going to Jiangjiazhai, and Yakou Village is the farthest away, so Hu Jianjun is in charge.

Although he had already begun to take action, Hu Jianjun felt embarrassed to face Hu Mingchen when he first faced him, especially when he heard that Hu Mingchen was so angry that he didn't eat anything last night. After all, he was the father after all, and Hu Mingchen was the father.

My son is not.

"You still have to eat what you should eat, as long as it doesn't affect your work. Our family can't be the kind of unkind family." Hu Mingchen immediately felt funny when he saw his father acting like a child.

The melancholy and sorrow of the whole night were wiped away from Hu Mingchen by following Hu Jianjun's words.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Hu Mingchen ate two sweet potatoes and went out happily.

Hu Mingchen was indeed a little hungry after not having dinner, but he had no intention of eating the two sweet potatoes by himself. He would eat one on the way and bring the other to Song Qiaoshan.

Since learning martial arts from Song Qiaoshan, Hu Mingchen has not offered any training. On the contrary, he not only received great help from Song Qiaoshan, but Song Qiaoshan also gave him a watch.

Of course, Hu Mingchen would not expect a sweet potato to repay the favor, but he would naturally have the idea of ​​leaving half of it for the "master", which shows his gratitude and respect for Song Qiaoshan.

After making up their minds to complete the ginger harvesting matter, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai really seemed to be different people, working hard and wandering around the mountains around Duge Township, as long as they were related or related. They would visit people they knew a little bit and tell them clearly that they wanted to harvest ginger, so that they would not have to wait until it was dug to sell it on the street.

The Hu family's harvesting of ginger was not very effective on the second and third days. After all, Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun were not at home, and Hu Mingchen and the three sisters had to go to school. There was no one to watch the house, so they did not receive much ginger. It's just that. When Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai went to someone else's house and saw that they had dug some, they brought some back with them.

In just two days, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai visited several surrounding villages where ginger might be sold to their homes.

On the third day, the amount of ginger purchased by Hu Mingchen's family increased in a straight line. From sixty-seven kilograms on the first day, it suddenly increased to more than five hundred kilograms.

It was difficult to sell ginger last year, but now Hu Mingchen's family is willing to come to their door to say hello and buy. Many people who have grown ginger simply sell it to save face, and at the same time ensure that their own ginger can be sold.

The agricultural products grown on the ground can only be harvested if they are sold and converted into money. If they cannot be sold, then no matter how big the harvest is, it will have no meaning. After all, you can't eat that much at all.

Once there are several hundred pounds of ginger in the house, the process of washing and roasting the ginger can begin.

Following the previous example of carrying coal, when they heard that Hu Jianjun's family was looking for someone to wash Jiang, Long Cui'e, Li Xiumei, and Song Chunmei immediately enthusiastically expressed their willingness to help his family.

As for the wages, Hu Mingchen's family didn't charge high or low. The price for washing ginger around here was basically three yuan per hundred catties. Hu Mingchen also promised to give them three yuan per hundred catties.

Washing ginger is both a technical job and a physical job. It is not an easy task to wash the mud-covered ginger cleanly and refresh it, especially because ginger is very irritating to the skin. Washing off one or two hundred pounds of ginger requires a pair of hands. It will become hot and very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this little hardship for rural people is nothing. Just in the village, you can earn a few yuan a day by working, which is barely good for Duge Township, which lacks a working environment.

It was from this time on that Hu Mingchen's family began to work hard day and night.

Why does it happen day and night?

During the day, people came to sell ginger. Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun had to pay tribute to them and help carry them. Long Cui'e and the others washed the ginger, and they also helped carry water.

Washing ginger is very water-consuming. If you wash it only once, it will not be clean at all. It needs to be washed at least twice. Spread out several large basins, pour a bag of ginger into it, and add at least three buckets of water to wash it. At the end of the day, at the end of the day, It will take at least ten or twenty loads of water.

In order to reduce the burden on the two adults, Song Chunmei's house had a large wooden barrel. Hu Jianjun borrowed it and asked Xu Jinnan to help carry it home. After school, Hu Yandie, who went home first, would take over the burden of carrying water.

After Hu Mingchen sold almost all the cards at school, he returned home and took over the burden of carrying water.

After washing the ginger, you have to put it into the ginger oven to bake. If the oven is small, it can bake 500 catties.

If it weighs one thousand kilograms, it needs to be turned once an hour. Otherwise, it will be baked unevenly, which will affect the efficiency a lot and ruin the presentation.

In addition to constant stirring, the mixed coal must also be constantly put into the stove for roasting ginger. During the day, the fire should be high, and only when it is time to go to bed at night, the fire will be turned down. So Danhuang Niba

Mixing coal is also one of the tasks that never stops every day.

Hu Mingchen and Hu Yandie did not have any experience in turning ginger, and their physical strength could not support it. After all, it was not easy to turn hundreds of kilograms of ginger. In addition, considering that Hu Mingchen and the others had to do it the next day.

They go to school, so only Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai take turns to get up at night and turn over the ginger. They cannot let the stove burn the ginger. Once the ginger is burnt, it is basically useless and worthless.

Hu Mingchen's family is working in full swing, and Hu Mingchen is tired and happy. After all, as long as he persists in this way, the future will be bright and promising, and life is full of hope, even if he has not yet found anyone to buy dried ginger.

However, there are also some people who are full of resentment towards Hu Mingchen's busy family.

For example, when Liu Chunhua meets someone and asks her brother-in-law about harvesting and roasting ginger, her words will sound sour.

"You may not think that his family is in full swing, it seems like that, but how can he and his wife be in business? Whether or not the dried ginger can be sold is still one thing. Were there not many people who suffered losses last year?

Money is not that easy to make, so we rural people still have to farm the land and raise pigs honestly, which is the right way."

"Then her family is paid to carry coal and wash ginger. You are so close, so why don't your family help out? At least they can earn some salt and oil money." Many people know that the relationship between their two families is not harmonious, but

Some people just want to say such irritating words.

"It's just a few dollars a day, not a lot. If we don't go into that muddy water, if his ginger can't be sold in the future, he might blame us for not washing it properly. Forget it, I might as well

It’s more practical to grow more of your own land.”

In fact, doesn’t Liu Chunhua really want to do some work and earn some cash? Of course she does, especially when she heard that the person who helps Hu Mingchen’s family dig coal and carry coal can get hundreds of dollars each. Liu Chunhua feels envious in her heart

Not good enough.

But when Hu Jianye wanted to help dig coal, she was fooled by her. Now she has the nerve to interfere. Not to mention that she is embarrassed, even if it is Hu Jianye, she is too embarrassed to let him help Hu Jianjun.

Home.

As fierce as she is, Liu Chunhua is also a woman who cares about face and has strong self-esteem.
