Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Weijun delivered eggs as usual, went back to sleep, and then went to the gate of the steel rolling mill for a 10-kilometer cross-country trip with Wei Ping'an and Section Chief Hao Chuan.

At the suburban shooting range, Gu Weijun began to increase training in tactical shooting, bayonet assassination, and 18-meter rope grabbing.

Just like that day after day.

In early November, the steel rolling mill completed the production line renovation. The first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong also returned from studying in the Northeast. The first uncle kept a low profile, especially after hearing the rumors, while the second uncle became more official.

Time came to November 62, 11. Chief Zheng announced the lifting of level three combat readiness and at the same time restored Gu Weijun's right to rest on weekends.

Gu Weijun breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally the weekend! My fields can be harvested long ago!

Why are you only half relieved? Because starting from today, I have to run to the suburban shooting range every other day to continue training military skills!

Why do you feel more tired than before? It must be an illusion! I already have the weekend!

But why? My eyes are filled with tears!

On the first rest day, Gu Weijun woke up in pain and just wanted to hit himself on the head. I didn't set the alarm clock? That’s it, the biological clock is formed!

what to do? Get up!

After getting dressed, he pushed the bicycle on the corridor with one hand, opened the door gently with his left hand, and returned to the Northeast courtyard. Gu Weijun slapped his left hand bitterly, "What a broken golden finger! Why do I always feel like I'm short of breath!" Picked it up! "Bath water" sighed, shook his head and put it down again, "Wait a little longer!"

At this time, in the northeastern courtyard, the corn and soybeans in the eastern courtyard are all mature and plump! It looks like soldiers are bowing their heads waiting for inspection. There are two dug earthworm pits, with a bunch of earthworms crawling around on the surface. People with trypophobia may feel nauseated after looking at them. The west yard, the half of the house, is close to the house. Many vegetables have turned yellow and gone to seed, and the baby cabbage has grown into Chinese cabbage. In the pond next to the courtyard wall, a group of chickens are looking for mud snails to eat.

Gu Weijun silently pretended: "I can't hold your hand and let you feel the joy of the harvest in my yard; I can't hold your hand and let you feel the heroic efforts of these hard-working hens to lay eggs."

In fact, it can be harvested as early as mid-October, but Gu Weijun had not planted the land for many years and was worried that he would not be able to save seeds if he harvested too early. Secondly, it was a time when the intensity of military training continued to increase, and he had to write ideological reports. There is no shortage of food, but there is not much time.

Now is the time!

Roll up your sleeves and work hard!

The yard in the northeast is only about half an acre. I found a big dustpan in the ear room and put it away. I put on long sleeves and long trousers and tied the cuffs tightly. I put a hat on my head, a silk scarf around my face, a basket on my back and a basket on my shoulder. Okay, let’s start picking up eggs and breaking corn.

Thanks to the recent continuous training, Gu Weijun's physical strength has improved a lot. In just ten minutes, he broke off all the corn in the northeast yard and put it into the dustpan. After visual inspection, it was not less than 1000 kilograms;

I also picked up more than 60 eggs! Damn it, I can’t even finish the eggs, and I can’t give them away even after they’re cooked! When I took the time to clean up, I found that many bad guys and rotten eggs had been thrown into the nutritious soil of earthworms to ferment! If someone finds out, he will be scolded to death!

Then there are soybeans and peanuts. Soybeans weigh about 300 kilograms, and peanuts are more, weighing 400 kilograms. Now there is no shortage of oil! But I can’t fucking refine oil? Okay, I have to go to the library to find books again. Who the hell wants to be like me after traveling through time and hard farming? Isn’t it all done in one click?

"Dry!"

However, looking at the plump corn kernels, soybeans, and peanuts, Gu Weijun finally put his heart into his stomach. He had been worried that the seeds would not be replanted!

After harvesting the corn, soybeans and peanuts, and checking the time, Gu Weijun went to the earthworm pit and picked up a shovel to dig. After paving it, he began to use a fence to remove the earthworms, threw them into the large pot next to the earthworm pit, added water, and started Cooking, this smell is really sad for those who smell it! The cauldron dismantled the large stove in the kitchen, moved it over, and simply set it up here.

When the earthworms are boiled, they are fished out with a strainer and sprinkled in the yard.

Go to the pond, drive away the chickens, and continue collecting eggs. Gu Weijun calculated that from mid-October to now, there have been 10 egg-laying hens and 40 roosters in the yard. Calculated over a period of 5 years, they can lay about 62-100 eggs a day. Those who used to make excuses to take them out, the most in a week 120-80, the gap is huge! I have to find Uncle Yang today and must solve it!

"Oh, have all the fish in the pond grown so big?" Gu Weijun took a look at the pond, and he was pleasantly surprised. Gu Weijun hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, so he occasionally threw some earthworms and weeds in. He took a look today. , I found a lot of big fish, and I got them as gifts for the New Year.

By the way, there are also dates to be harvested. Good guy, I have harvested two more baskets of dates!

How to deal with it is difficult! I took my time to take it out. I looked at the other fruit trees in the yard and saw that they were all bearing fruit again. It is estimated that they will all mature again before the end of the year.

After the alarm clock rang, Gu Weijun cleaned up and put on his clothes from the 60s again. After checking in the full-length mirror that everything was fine, he pushed his bicycle with a basket full of eggs to the gate of Tiezi's house and jumped away with a stick as he knew the way. The courtyard door clicked, and Shi Shiran pushed the cart and walked in.

Zhao Chenggang had already gotten up and read a book. When he saw Gu Weijun walking in, he stood up to greet him and helped Gu Weijun unload the backpack into the room. Seeing that Gu Weijun was dressed differently from the previous time, he asked, "Don't you have to go to the field for training today?"

Gu Weijun nodded and stretched his waist, "There is no need to go today. This week, Lao Zheng said that the war preparations have been lifted, allowing me to take one day off every day. However, starting from next week, I will go to the suburban shooting range every other day. Training cannot stop!"

"There are dates under the eggs in the basket. The farmer brothers gave them to me today, but I gave them 1 cents."

"They'll be separated soon!"

Tiezi nodded and replied in a muffled voice, "Yeah!"

Gu Weijun glanced at the book Tiezi was reading and found that it was still "Automotive Structure" and the title was in traditional Chinese. He asked, "Tiezi, are you still studying this book?"

"Well," Tiezi looked back at Gu Weijun, "Master said, this book is enough for me to study for a year, so I must understand it thoroughly!"

After Tiezi put the eggs, Gu Weijun picked up the book and asked Tiezi in a low voice what he didn't understand. Then he used a stick to write and scratch in the courtyard and explained it to Tiezi until daybreak. Zhao Ma, Daya, and Little sister gets up.

Zhao's mother's face became rosy again. After the National Day, she ate the donkey-hide gelatin brought back from the northeast by Gu's father and the nourishment of an egg a day. Her health improved and she returned to work in the textile factory.

Zhao's mother saw that Gu Weijun was particularly enthusiastic, so she took Gu Weijun's hand and said, "Dajun, don't you have to go to training today?" "That's good. Let's eat at home later. Auntie will make some noodles for you!"

Gu Weijun laughed "haha" and said, "Auntie, I won't be in trouble today. I finally have a day off. Tiezi and I will wait to find Xiaoyu."

"Among the three of us, he has the easiest time going to work. No matter what, we have to cook him up this morning!"

"Okay, then Auntie won't keep you," Zhao's mother tugged on Gu Weijun's shirt, "Dajun, have you grown taller again? Your clothes look a little short again, just wait."

Zhao's mother stomped back to the room and came back with a few pieces of cloth, "Here, take the scraps of cloth from the factory. I exchanged them with my sisters for eggs. I asked your mother to make you some clothes during the Chinese New Year. Change your current clothes."
