Work together to become bigger and stronger
Song Yifan responded: "It will take me about an hour."
Li Xuran drove the machine to the side of the road and said, "I've finished my work here, but I need to repair the furrows with the villagers."
Jiang Lin replied mischievously: "With my speed, it can be done in half an hour."
Xiang Chuzhe responded: "My progress is similar to yours, and I will definitely not fall behind."
Pei Xu said loudly: "Okay! After the brothers and everyone else finish their work, we will go back and eat hot dumplings to celebrate New Year's Day!"
Although the wind was cold, everyone's passion had been ignited, and a burst of enthusiastic cheering songs rang out from the field!
The minced meat was mixed with onions, garlic and chopped eggs. Cheng Enyue, wearing a red plaid apron, squatted beside the big basin and picked up the ingredients prepared by Aunt Xu and poured them in. She stirred vigorously with a spoon, and the filling gradually gave off an enticing aroma.
Several elderly grandmothers brought many stainless steel dishes and large bamboo round lids from home. Grandma Liu Chunling grabbed a handful of flour and sprinkled it on the surface, saying, "Xiao Cheng, you continue to stir the other fillings, and we will wrap this one first."
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Cheng Enyue's forehead. He stood up and looked at the several tables set up on the floor. Several large stainless steel basins were filled with cut fillings, and there were many large round lids on which the dumplings would be placed. The grandmothers and aunts were rolling out the dough and making dumplings skillfully.
An auntie in the yard was adding firewood to the stove while putting away the kitchen knife and chopping board.
Cheng Enyue couldn't help but record a video and said happily: "It's really full of fireworks! It makes people very happy just watching it. This will be a New Year's Day that I will never forget."
The cheers for the end of work gradually got louder. Pei Xu watched everyone getting closer and closer to the roadside. He turned off the machine and picked up his phone to record the great moment that was about to come.
The villagers began to cheer, "There's only one more furrow left, we can call it a day once we finish repairing it!"
You shoveled and I shoveled, and the furrow was repaired in less than ten minutes. Pei Xu stood on the machine and cheered: "We finally completed another big project!"
Everyone followed him and shouted, "It's finally done!"
Several young men gathered together, looked at Pei Xu's camera and shouted loudly: "We are friends who risk our lives together again!"
Li Xuran leaned on the edge of the machine and said, "It really took my life." He raised his finger, "See? My fingers are shaking from exhaustion. I didn't stop the machine except for eating all day."
Xiang Chuzhe said, "It's over. Brother Ran and Brother Yue are the strongest people here. They are both saying they are tired. I won't hide it anymore. My arms and calves are so sore. My calves even cramped at one point."
Song Yifan picked his ears with his hands and said, "My ears are now full of the noise of the machines. Sometimes villagers call me but I don't hear them. I feel like I am hard of hearing."
Pei Xu smiled and looked at Jiang Lin, and asked, "How about you, Mr. Jiang? Do you have any sequelae?"
Jiang Lin said stubbornly, "Are you kidding? I'm the most powerful man in Pei Village. What's so special about this kind of work?"
Several people walked back side by side. Pei Xu suddenly slowed down and pinched Jiang Lin's shoulder hard from behind. Jiang Lin instantly jumped forward with a sore feeling and groaned.
He touched his shoulder and turned back to say, "Boss Pei, are you trying to murder your creditor?"
Pei Xu said with a flattering expression: "I just want to test the physical fitness of a macho man. Your muscles are as hard as your mouth just now, I will loosen them up for you."
Jiang Lin deliberately slowed down his pace, walked side by side with him, and hinted evilly: "There are many ways to conduct experiments, and you chose the worst one."
Pei Xu remembered the comments in that post: "They both have great bodies! The faint muscle lines, shashasha~ that aspect must be very harmonious and long-lasting! They both eat so well, I don't know who to envy for a moment!"
The tips of his ears suddenly turned red and he changed the subject.
"Wow! So many dumplings!" Song Yifan was shocked by the scene on the ground, "There have never been so many people celebrating New Year's Day together!"
Aunt Song looked at the young men who had just returned from work with a smile on her face, and said loudly, "We in the south usually kill chickens and ducks to make a table of dishes for New Year's Day, but Xiao Cheng said that only two of the six of you are from the south, and four are from the north. We thought that since there are many people working, everyone can eat the dumplings. Since you have come from afar, we are doing our best to be a good host."
Jiang Lin turned his back, his eyes a little moist.
Pei Xu saw this, stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? You're already moved before you even eat the dumplings?"
Jiang Lin said stubbornly: "Nonsense! I am just intoxicated by the smell of onions and garlic."
"Of all the people in my body, your mouth is the toughest!"
Jiang Lin said subconsciously: "There is a harder place."
Pei Xu's eyes unconsciously glanced down. Jiang Lin realized what he had said, turned around awkwardly, and said loudly: "I will help make dumplings too."
Cheng Enyue blocked him with his foot: "Go inside and wash your hands."
Pei Xu was stunned on the spot, muttering quietly: "It wasn't me who started it, why should I be embarrassed?"
The villagers who worked in the fields went home, put down their shovels, and consciously moved their own tables and red plastic chairs to the large ground.
The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the dumplings in the big pot were tumbling in the boiling water and gradually floating up.
Cheng Enyue held up the colander and shouted, "The dumplings are ready to be served! Bring a basin!"
Song Yifan and Li Xuran carried out a large basin of steaming dumplings, and Jiang Lin packed them on the table.
The villagers had happy smiles on their faces and happily served themselves soy sauce dishes.
Pei Xu stood on a long wooden bench and looked at everyone and said loudly: "Thank you all for coming to help us build the ridges today. Without your help, we would not be able to finish today's work! You all have worked hard! And the grandma and aunt who made dumplings and prepared dinner for us and our brothers have also worked hard! Let's give a warm round of applause to ourselves for our hard work today!"
Warm applause rang out. Pei Xu was moved by their smiles and continued touchingly, "Today is also the last day of this year! Tonight, we will enter the new year after midnight. In the new year, I hope all the grandparents, uncles, aunts and aunts will be healthy and successful! The new year will be better than the old year!"
"Good!" Everyone responded to his blessing enthusiastically!
Pei Xu was carrying a plate of dumplings and walking home. Pei Zongli was too embarrassed to admit his mistake, fearing that Pei Xu would know that he was secretly helping her. Even though Pei Qi called him twice, he did not go to the dumpling banquet and cooked egg soup alone in the kitchen.
Pei Xu walked straight into the kitchen carrying the dumplings. Pei Zongli was adding fuel to the fire and looked at him in surprise.
The father and son stared at each other for more than ten seconds, and Pei Xu spoke first: "Old comrade, why don't you go eat dumplings with everyone?"
Pei Zongli said nonsense: "There were two broken eggs in the refrigerator. It would be a pity to throw them away, so I used them to make soup. Besides, isn't the dumpling banquet a reward for those who helped today? I didn't help."
Pei Xu tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but couldn't help laughing out loud, "Old comrade, stop pretending." He looked up the group message, "Who else is this person working in the field if not you?"
Pei Zongli said guiltily: "I am worried about the money. If it rains, the work in the fields will be delayed. Whether the rented machines are in use or not, you still have to pay for them."
Pei Xu put away his smile and said solemnly: "Dad, thank you for your support. I know you were thinking about my future before. I shouldn't have confronted you and should have communicated with you properly. Now that I have your support, I will definitely work harder and not embarrass you!"
This remark touched Pei Zongli's heart. As a Chinese father, he always expressed his concern for his children by losing his temper or in an awkward way. However, he did not expect that his son would open up to him so bluntly. He did not know how to respond for a moment. He seemed to be under a spell, staring at the blazing fire in the stove and the boiling egg soup in the pot.
Pei Xu put down the dumplings and said, "Dad, the weather is cold, you can eat the dumplings while they are hot."
Pei Xu walked to the living room, and Pei Zongli's voice came from behind him: "Since you have decided to work in agriculture, you should stick to it and do your best. Rural people want to save face, so don't let me lose face in front of outsiders."
Pei Xu smiled with emotion and responded, "Okay, old comrade."
The strong wind blew up the dust on the ground, the leaves rustled, and the huge raindrops hit the stainless steel basin, making a thudding sound. After a while, heavy rain washed the village.
The teenagers were having a meeting in the house. Pei Xu concluded, "This is a timely rain that can moisten the ground. I ordered some black rose seedlings from a teacher in Yunnan last night. It will take about two days for them to be transported to our place. I have also discussed the quantity of tea seedlings with my senior sister. We will start transporting the black rose seedlings once they are finished. They will arrive here the next day. So when the weather clears up, there will be another fierce battle to do!"
The young men have calmly accepted the huge project that requires their hard work.
Song Yifan said: "I have contacted the owner of the farm machinery store whenever I have time these two days, but the line is always busy and I can't find anyone. I think that we have rented the machine, whether we use it or not, we must have a spirit of contract and pay the rent. But I don't think we should bear the cost of repairing the machine, because it is a problem with the machine itself. What do you think?"
Jiang Lin said: "I agree with this plan."
Others agreed.
Cheng Enyue suggested: "Didn't Lin Xing tell us before that the government has a poverty alleviation chicken breeding project? The breeding and sales model is actually a bit like the courtyard economy. Since we don't have to worry about sales, I think we can give it a try and mobilize the villagers to see how many households are interested in breeding. We can count the number and then apply for it, breeding by household, and also increase their income."
Xiang Chuzhe said thoughtfully: "We also have to consider one thing. We don't know what the effect will be after the show is broadcast, but at least it will make a splash. It is a publicity outlet. Even if the government can't help with sales at that time, we can sell it ourselves, not just the rose cakes we will make in the future."
Jiang Lin added: "What Chuzhe said is right. This is indeed a powerful propaganda outlet. The rose project is equivalent to an experimental project. The output of the first batch will not be too high, and the production of rose cakes will not be many. We can also think about the sales of other agricultural products, build our brand, and rely on the power of the program to promote it. After the program ends in the future, the brand can continue to develop."
