Chapter 416: Compulsory Classes
Once the fermentation is done, the yard won’t need to buy fertilizer.
Not to mention adding manure or anything like that, which would make the yard stink.
Tang Mei saw it and said to her:
"If we don't throw the fish intestines away, we should at least dig a hole and bury them, right? Otherwise, won't it stink?"
Lu Miao shook his head:
"No, it won't stink this way. It will decompose in three to five days."
Tang Mei didn't believe it, but she was very tolerant of the children in her family.
Lu Miao likes to make trouble, so she lets him do it.
Even if there is a smell later, just get rid of it.
It's no big deal.
…
The weather was getting warmer, and the vegetables that had just been planted in the Fu family's courtyard were not growing well.
Later, with the help of Lu Miao's fermented organic fertilizer and coal slag, the soil quality gradually improved.
The difference in soil quality between areas where vegetables are planted and areas where they are not can be seen with the naked eye.
The Fu family courtyard changes its appearance day by day. The leaves of the vegetables that were originally growing sparsely gradually become smooth and dark green, which is pleasing to the eye.
Fu Jingyou studied a wide variety of courses in his mechanical and electrical engineering major. The teachers at school taught people to have many skills without overwhelming them, and they taught all the knowledge that was slightly related.
Fu Jingyou learned how to debug a movie projector.
During the Grain Rain in April, the school does voluntary labor.
Fu Jingyou accepted the task and walked from the south to the north, covering all the rural areas around northern Beijing.
Showing movies to people in every village.
Some village captains would give the young men some things when they saw that they were having a hard time carrying the equipment.
Fu Jingyou didn't want it, but looking at the situation, he discussed with those easy-to-talk-to village cadres and spent some money to buy two hens that were still laying eggs.
Eggs are cheaper than meat, and after all, they are still a kind of meat and a nutritious product.
There are many residents living in the area around Qingta Hutong.
Some people queue up at two or three in the morning to provide nourishment for their pregnant wives or grandchildren.
It’s really hard to get eggs.
Fu Jingyou exchanged the chicken and went to the scrap yard twice.
After selecting suitable wooden planks, they built a fenced chicken coop in the northeast corner of the yard, next to the toilet.
The fence was about waist-high and covered with hay. Once the two chickens' wings were clipped, they couldn't get out.
Feeding is also easy.
The vegetables in the yard are growing well. You can cut them every day and feed them together with some leftover rice, slop, etc., which is fine.
As the weather gets warmer, more and more vegetables are growing in the yard.
Since the ripe red peppers could not be eaten, Lu Miao asked Tang Mei to wash them, drain them and sieve them.
As for other leafy vegetables, Tang Mei has been here for a while and has gotten to know several good families in the alley.
From time to time, he would go to the corners of the vegetable plants and break off some fresh and tender leaves to give to people.
They don’t give much each time, just enough to stir-fry a dish.
For the vegetable fields in the yard that are gradually entering the peak harvest season, this is almost zero consumption.
Fu Jingyou is a person who can't sit still. He got up early and worked for more than ten days, and bought two farmed meat rabbits from the market.
Originally, we planned to feed it with old vegetable leaves at home, so that we could kill it and eat its meat when needed.
As it turned out, after raising it for half a month, it gave birth to eight rabbits that looked like little mice.
It was pink and hairless, just like a baby mouse. Tang Mei was startled when she was feeding the rabbit in the morning.
When she yelled, she startled Fu Jingyou.
The big rabbit bit off a lot of fur to build its nest. Fu Jingyou came out and knew what was going on.
Quickly pull out the male rabbit by its ears, cook it briefly and stew it in a pot.
So as not to bite the little rabbit.
Next to the chicken coop in the Fu family courtyard, there is a long wooden rabbit cage.
Lu Miao originally said that he could just nail a neat fence like the chicken coop, so that rabbits couldn't jump out anyway.
As a result, Fu Jingyou said that rabbits can dig holes and run away, so Lu Miao thought forget it.
The two children like the new "fluffy" creatures in the yard very much, and follow their grandma to feed the rabbits every day.
Lu Miao was also worried that if the child stayed with the rabbit for too long, it would become a pet and he would be reluctant to kill it.
It turned out to be completely unnecessary worry.
It’s nice that the two little ones are surrounding the rabbit cage every day and they are really feeding the rabbits, but what are they muttering?
My brother said, "Eat your fill!"
My sister said: "The elder one is younger one~"
My brother said again: "hole~"
My sister continued, "Eat Youyou!"
The high-pitched and high-frequency sound of "Youyou, Youyou" can be heard in the courtyard every day.
Lu Miao was led astray. On a day off, when they were at the market together, he saw that there was still meat for sale at the butcher shop, and the first thing he said was, "Buy some to take home."
Fu Jingyou was amused by her "Puchi":
"Okay, then buy some Youyou to eat back."
It took Lu Miao a long time to react. He went back and walked on the sparsely populated path. She twisted his waist several times and warned him not to laugh at her.
Fu Jingyou nodded and laughed even harder.
…
Late April, just before Labor Day.
Class 1, Grade 1, Military Region University English, has updated the second class schedule for the first semester.
As the weather gets hotter, farm work in rural areas surrounding Beijing is gradually entering its peak season.
The second round of courses includes a compulsory labor class to recall the bitter past and cherish the sweet past.
The course content is that the teacher leads the class and organizes students to go to the countryside to help their fellow villagers with work.
Class 1's first compulsory class was scheduled for Labor Day, which happened to be a Monday.
The points of discussion in the class were also polarized.
The students who came from rural areas to get admitted are ready to give a good performance.
As a group of students who returned to the city as educated youth, most of them complained bitterly.
Isn’t the farm work you’ve done enough after going to the countryside for a few years?
Why do you have to continue working in the fields after coming back to attend college?
The child’s father had gone through the compulsory classes first, so Lu Miao knew about this.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Lu Miao still felt depressed as the weather outside got hotter day by day.
It’s painful to think about it!
But at this moment, there were still people approaching without any sight.
Li Yue returned to her seat in the classroom, rolled up the book into a tube, and knocked on the corner of Lu Miao's desk:
"I just went to the office. Teacher Li said that the blackboard behind our class needs to be decorated with Labor Day content before May Day. The teacher asked you to do it."
"Why didn't the teacher come to me directly to make the blackboard newspaper?"
Lu Miao held his chin with one hand and twirled a pen with the other, his posture nonchalant and lazy.
Geng Xiaoyun’s name “Lu Xiaomao” was not called in vain.
Lu Miao is like the reincarnation of a cat, his temperament is just like a cat in every aspect.
At this moment, she felt as if her peaceful time was disturbed. She frowned and began to flap and shake her tail impatiently.
If Li Yue had a little more insight and chose to speak nicely, there would probably be nothing wrong.
But if she didn't have good eyesight, she would have been scratched by this bad-tempered kitten today.
"Can't the teacher ask me to pass on the message? You're not an important person, so why does the teacher have to come and tell you in person?"
Li Yue's voice was loud enough for other people in the class to hear.
Everyone looked at Lu Miao, and they all felt that Lu Miao was too pretentious.
