Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

"Good comrade, our new socialist China needs young people like you who can take the initiative to work overtime!" The next day, Wednesday, Gu Weijun reluctantly went to class and went to work, but was praised instead...

How to do it? You have to pretend it till the end! Cheer up and go to the Japanese class to mix in. Why? Because Gu Weijun felt that his English and Russian learning progress had exceeded the school's progress.

When I returned to the steel rolling mill at noon, I was stopped by the security colleagues at the door and chatted for a few words. The news of Gu Weijun's meritorious service had been sent back to the security department. The arrest of wanted criminals and enemy agents, promotion and salary increase were just around the corner! The fellow security guards were both envious and admired!

The duty room of the security department was also unusually deserted in the afternoon, and Wei Ping'an was not there either. I wonder if he was out on a mission or at home on vacation? I took a walk around the Logistics Administration Office Building and saw familiar scenes again. Section Chief Zheng Chao slept on the table, and Section Chief Hao Chuan slept on the back of a chair with a newspaper covering his face.

Why do these two people sleep so much? Gu Weijun hates that iron cannot become steel. How good it is like me. After staying up all night and sleeping for 3 or 4 hours, I feel energetic! Virtual! How false!

I said hello to Bai Ling with regret and returned to the confidential room. How about I sleep for a while? Forget it, in such a good time, let’s go clean up my yard. Gu Weijun opened the door and returned to his small northeastern yard.

Working makes me happy, and harvesting makes me happy! We Chinese, as long as the money is in place, it doesn’t matter whether we work overtime or not!

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins are all harvested again, weighing 6 to 7000 pounds. Fortunately, there are a few more big eaters in the yard, so they can be consumed continuously, but it is a bit labor-intensive. They all need to be cooked before feeding. The pumpkins have arrived. No, but it still needs fermentation.

As more livestock were raised, the earthworm cultivation pits also needed to be increased again. Fortunately, the available area also increased. Outside the east, west, and north walls of the small courtyard, many more fermentation pits were dug against the walls. In addition to a few fermented pumpkins, Yes, if the rest is fine, just throw in some sprouted potatoes, sweet potatoes and various straws, then pour some water and it's done.

After cooking a large pot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, earthworms and other messy food for livestock and poultry, Gu Weijun discovered a problem. One big pot is not enough! But this should be the simplest. What unit are we in now? In a steel rolling mill, isn't it too simple to press two big pots out? Let’s pay for the materials!

Well, keep a small notebook and remember it carefully!

The newly planted corn, soybeans, and peanuts outside the courtyard wall are also about to be harvested. This afternoon is just the right time! Gu Weijun kept a regular schedule in the courtyard, returning to the confidential room every 2-3 hours and going out for a walk, both to rest and to show that he was still at work.

After all the harvesting was completed, Gu Weijun became worried when he looked at the four large piles of soybeans and peanuts piled in front of his small courtyard. Two of the piles were secretly replaced while working at the grain station. Peanuts are better. Don’t extract oil for the time being. You can eat them boiled or stir-fried! Soybeans are not allowed. If you eat soybeans all the time, you won’t become the king of farts!

Gu Weijun slapped his forehead. We can't squeeze out oil for the time being. We can still make soy milk and tofu!

Returning to the storage room in the east room, I launched an electronic stone grinder. This machine has been certified by CCC in later countries. The lower plate is 70CM and the upper plate is 50CM. It can grind 40 kilograms of corn flour or soy milk per hour.

The soybeans are soaked first, and 100 kilograms of corn are ground and secretly mixed into the rice vat at home. But, you still have to grind the corn kernels first. Have any book friends ever done this? Therefore, if rural life is good, it must be based on electrification. Otherwise, just look at me and you will be exhausted! Don’t mention anything else, let’s roll the corn (corn) kernels first

After almost rubbing a large basin, he threw it directly into the preparation box of the electric stone grinder. This electric stone grinder can automatically add ingredients, and then Gu Weijun wanted to give himself a slap! A blinding eye!

I am still thinking from a later age, I just want to squeeze all the soybeans and peanuts into oil in one go. Isn’t it okay to do a small amount many times? Isn’t there a stone mill that can be crushed? Then bring in a few large pots and fry them manually; buy a few large steamers in the countryside and steam them; wrap the straw and squeeze it out to produce oil! Find a few more stones and press them naturally

Thinking of this, Gu Weijun became more motivated. There was no shortage of staple food, meat and eggs, not to mention vegetables. Before, there was a little oil shortage, and a pig didn't have much oil. Isn't it okay now?

This time Gu Weijun plans to transform the land on the east side of the yard into a paddy field. He still has 2 sacks of rice at home, which is just in time for him to gradually try breeding and planting rice. If nothing else, the rice in the Northeast is delicious!

Soybeans and peanuts continue to be planted on the west and north sides of the yard. The east and west half of the yard by the courtyard wall are mainly filled with sweet potatoes and pumpkins, supplemented by potatoes.

Dig the ground, collect eggs, plant eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, pick 100 extra eggs and put them away, build a few more nests, continue to hatch, and eat more meat in the future. I kept busy until I got off work, but I didn't finish it. I packed up and went home after get off work. Anyway, I was free now, so there was no rush.

Wandering to the south gate, he said hello to his fellow guards at the gate and was about to leave. "Xiao Gu," a guard in the gate lounge stopped Gu Weijun and said to a middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him: "I'm on duty." , you ask Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu went on a mission with the section chief the day before yesterday!"

Gu Weijun looked at the guard with confusion, and the guard introduced the two to each other: "Xiao Gu, this is Feng Shouren from the laboratory of our factory, Feng Gong." "Feng Gong, this is the correspondent of our security department, Gu Weijun, Xiao Gu !”

Feng Gong was overjoyed when he saw Gu Weijun, who still had hair on his mouth. He was so young, so young! He enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Gu Weijun's hand and shook it up and down, "Xiao Gu, I heard that our security department has done a great job this time and caught the fugitive!" "And it was caught by a little hero. Is that you?"

Gu Weijun pretended to be overwhelmed and held his breath, finally turning his face red, and answered shyly and slightly staggeringly: "No, no, no!"

"Yes, it's the section chief and they are taking care of me!"

"Haha!" Feng Gong laughed heartily, "Don't be embarrassed!" "Our Security Department just needs rising stars like you!"

"That's right, our family has never had enough food. We used to go to the market to exchange for it. I heard that this is not a way to crack down on speculation now? I just wanted to ask if I can still go to the market to exchange for it?"

Gu Weijun continued to answer slightly nervously: "How do I know this?" "You should ask our section chief!"

He pretended to be displeased at work, "Hey, Comrade Gu, is it worth it for me to go to Lao Zheng for such a trivial matter?" "Just tell me what you think!"

"This" Gu Weijun looked at the guard. The guard smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiao Gu. Feng Gong is also an old man in our factory. Just tell me."

After Gu Weijun pretended to think for a while, he said, "As long as you don't buy and sell, it should be fine!"

He laughed heartily at work and said, "That's right!" "Comrade Gu, you have to be more flexible at work in the future!" He casually stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Gu Weijun's jacket pocket.

"Here!" Gu Weijun was a little uneasy and wanted to take it out and give it back to Feng Gong. Feng Gong pressed Gu Weijun's hand, patted Gu Weijun's arm again, and continued to say with a smile, "Take it for me and smoke it with Lao Zheng and the others. Well!" "Okay, I'm leaving." Fenggong got on his bicycle, pedaled hard, and instantly blended into the flow of people after get off work.

Gu Weijun looked distressedly at Guard Meng who called him, "Brother Meng, aren't you giving me a problem?" He took out a cigarette and saw that it was Peony, "Peony! I'll send it to the section chief quickly!"
