Chapter 165 Fertilizer, Articles

After finishing her work the next day, Lin Shu prepared to cut paper and bind her own notebooks. She wanted a large-format book so that it would be convenient for drawing and marking. She could also leave space to stick small cards on it for the children to write and draw.

This is not something that can be done overnight. She can only draw one picture a day at most, and if she is busy, she may draw one every few days, so it will be enough for the children to see by the end of the year.

As the autumn harvest is coming to an end, autumn plowing and wheat planting in various places have entered the intensive drum stage.

This is the moment for agricultural machinery operators to show their skills, while other members are more relaxed.

The brigade organized members to repair the canal as usual, especially this year, because there is little rain this autumn, and wheat planting is a bit dry.

The Lujiazhuang brigade does not want to wait for rain, and wants to use water turbines to irrigate and plant first.

In addition, the members were organized to clean up rivers and ponds, dig silt, collect dead grass and fallen leaves for fertilizer, and each family's pig pens were dug once in spring and once in autumn, and the fertilizer was sent to the production team in exchange for work points.

Even this fertilizer was not enough.

Without fertilizer, there would be no production of crops.

Each production team did have a certain amount of ammonia water quota, but ammonia water is not only limited as a fertilizer, but also easy to evaporate, so the teams did not like to buy it.

They liked urea and phosphate fertilizer, but the quantity was limited and they could not buy it at all.

Anyway, they could not buy it through formal channels.

In order to improve the ecological environment of those dozens of acres of land, they could only find a way to buy fertilizer.

The branch secretary and the team leader could not discuss a solution, so they strolled to Lu's house again.

The autumn harvest is coming to an end. It is much easier now. The farm machinery operators are under the supervision of the production team leader when they plow the fields and plant wheat. They don’t need to dry the melon stems.

They have a hobby now, which is to come to the Lu family from time to time to have meetings with Lin Shu, Hou Jianwen, and Brother Lu.

Brother Lu is now more relaxed than in the summer and has more free time.

When the weather gets cold, the air is dry, and there is no moldy smell in the house, the consumption of sanitary incense is reduced a lot, and the sales volume naturally decreases.

However, the sales volume in the summer is very good, which is enough to give them confidence. They are not afraid of not being able to sell in the winter. They still produce and store it in the cellar and can ship directly after the New Year.

Now that the weather is cold, mosquito coils should not be sold. Fang Dihua even had people store the remaining mosquito coils in large vats and sell them directly after the beginning of summer next year.

But Brother Lu sold a lot of mosquito coils in succession a few days ago and sold out all the stock.

Some people always have strange ideas. They like the smell of Lujiazhuang mosquito coils and buy them to use as toilet incense.

Mosquito coils are much more expensive than toilet incense, but they have money and are willful.

Secretary: "Lin Shu, do you have any idea about buying fertilizers?"

In the past, he called Lin Shu "Shaotang's wife", then he called her Comrade Lin Shu, and then he called her by her name.

He wanted to give Lin Shu a job, but Lin Shu had refused long ago.

Lin Shu's idea was also very simple. She didn't want to be a village cadre. She gave everyone advice purely for her own comfort.

Seeing Song Youping looking around, Lin Shu smiled at her and said, "Song, it's the brigade's job anyway, why don't we come up with some ideas together?"

Other cadres who went to the countryside to work really did their jobs. They would take the initiative to help the brigade solve problems and buy fertilizers and pesticides for the brigade.

Since Song Youping had connections and was stationed here, it would be better to take advantage of her.

Song Youping came over and knew that they wanted to buy fertilizer. Why? "I'm afraid I can't help with this, but why don't we retting fertilizer? Every household raises pigs, can't they retting fertilizer? And haven't you started a pig farm? Isn't the pig manure enough?"

The party secretary didn't want to argue with her. If it was enough, why would he buy it?

This girl is nothing like a cadre who goes to work in the countryside. When people go to the countryside, they will know about the production situation of the work team. If you don't know everything about it, it's almost the same.

She is so good, she doesn't know anything, and she makes comments all day long about why she shouldn't eat minced meat.

When the brigade was short of fertilizer, she said, "Go buy some." If you can't buy any, she said, "You are farmers, don't you buy fertilizer?" When I told her that fertilizer is not enough, she said, "Then why don't you buy high-efficiency fertilizers, such as urea, calcium-magnesium-phosphate fertilizer, etc.

" Hou Jianwen said, "How about this, I will go back to Qizhou to see the fertilizer factory and try to help buy a few tons of fertilizer."

When he worked in Qizhou, he knew some people. But

the secretary didn't want to make things difficult for him. He also knew some of the Hou family's situation, and it was not good to ask Hou Gong to do favors.

Even though Lu Shaotang was in Qizhou, the secretary didn't think of asking him to help buy fertilizer.

First, they knew that if it wasn't as simple as bringing it back, and they had to find connections to buy fertilizer, Lu Shaotang would not agree.

Second, they didn't want to trouble Lu Shaotang. After all, they were not in the same system. If they asked Shaotang to buy fertilizer for the brigade to get favors, what if people asked him to do something?

That would be bad.

Hou Jianwen said it was okay, "I am also a cadre stationed on the spot. It is my duty to do something for the brigade. Others can't say anything."

Brother Lu said, "I will go with Engineer Hou. I just happened to go to Qizhou to develop business."

Now Brother Lu has been out more and has seen more, and he speaks in a literary way like a cultured salesperson.

Anyway, Fang Dihua didn't understand the term "developing business", but the branch secretary and the brigade leader also understood it.

"Yes, you should bring more money and treat them to dinner and drinks." The branch secretary was generous.

Brother Lu took a big bag of high-end incense newly made by the incense factory.

The demand for ordinary sanitary incense decreases in winter, but high-end incense is actually not restricted by seasons. The sales volume itself is not high, but the unit price is high and the profit is good. If there are regular customers, it is still good.

This is what Lin Shu suggested to Brother Lu.

The factory also adjusted the formula and produced high-end incense such as sandalwood and jasmine. The effect of giving it to Wei Ling and Han Yun before also proved that this incense is good and there is still a market for it.

After the eldest brother-in-law and Brother Lu left, each production team successively distributed various rations, crop stalks, etc.

Lin Shu's family wanted to raise rabbits, so they asked for some sweet potato vines and peanut seedlings.

After distributing the rations, the branch secretary personally organized an activity to write articles praising the water turbine pump.

He asked all literate people in Lujiazhuang Brigade to participate, including primary school students, teachers, educated youth, literate members, team cadres, etc., to treat it as a new round of literacy campaign.

This request was too weird, and many people could not accept it, including the production team leader of Lujiazhuang.

What's the situation?

Although he can read, he can't write articles.

If he is asked to praise the water turbine pump, he will only say: "Good, really good, very good, really good..."

How is it good? That is to pump water by itself, saving electricity, oil and labor, just like a magic, how can it be praised?

The great thing is that there will definitely be a bumper harvest next year! But

the secretary said that it was emotionless, not vivid, and not vivid, and it was not enough to express one percent of the goodness of the water turbine pump!

Rewrite it!

I... Fuck!

As a result, the team leaders who couldn't write essays asked the educated youth and even primary school students for help. Lu Ping was pestered by the women's director and the production team leader.

Lu Ping was about to cry, "I can't write an essay either!"

I thought it was impossible for me to help my father with the accounts.

Lu An?

That's even worse, he has the same style as the production team leader.

In the end, someone found Tiantian and Panpan.

The two kids are smart, but they are still young, only six years old. Lin Shu and grandma feel sorry for them and don't want them to use their brains too early, so they haven't started the first grade yet.

The main reason is that they are lazy in their studies now. They have half a day of classes and the teacher takes them to work for half a day. They don't want their kids to suffer.

A kid this young should just play around, why should he work? If he wants

to work, can't he just work at home?

Xu Shihua was determined not to write poems or eulogies because of her dark thoughts and didn't want to give face to Lin Shu and her relatives.

Lu Hehuan wrote seriously and asked Xu Shihua to help him polish it.

Xu Shihua took a look at it impatiently and sneered, "You haven't even learned grammar well, what kind of rhetoric is this? Is there a metaphor like this?"

He found faults and hit Lu Hehuan so hard that he forced her to write again.

When Lu Hehuan revised several drafts but was still criticized by Xu Shihua, Xu Xiaoyou got angry.

She said to Lu Hehuan, "Mom, you write so well!"

Although she couldn't say why it was so good, she thought the sentence "The power of science and technology is amazing. It can create the world, make water flow backwards, and make the poor harvest..."

was very good.

She encouraged Lu Hehuan, "Mom, you can't just listen to what others say, especially what my father says!"

Lu Hehuan: "Your father is a poet. He has published many works."

Xu Xiaoyou said loudly, "But he is not sincere. He looks down on us. If you let a man who looks down on girls read your article, what else can he do except sneer and hum? Can he spit out ivory from his mouth? It's better to let my aunt read it!"

Xu Shihua sneered unceremoniously, "How many books has your aunt read?"

Xu Xiaoyou would not allow people to say bad things about her aunt. She glared at him fiercely and shouted, "Although my aunt didn't have much education, she is diligent and studious. She has talent. Although you have read a lot, you are arrogant and not humble at all. The book says that humility makes people progress, and arrogance makes people fall behind! My grandmother Lu also taught us that being full of anger will bring harm, but being humble will bring benefit. Think about it carefully!"

Xu Shihua: "..."

He is writing a novel, and he has an impulse to put everyone he doesn't like in it and torture them to death.

Don't think that poets can't write novels, he can!

He wants to make the hero's daughter mute!

The beautiful young wife who once abandoned her man will eventually lose her husband, and now that he is successful, she has to lower her noble head to beg for his forgiveness and seek his blessing.

Xu Xiaoyou asked Lu Hehuan to take the article to show to her uncle-in-law.

But Lu Hehuan refused. She thought that Lin Shu had not read many books, so how could she have any culture? The most important thing was that if Xu Shihua

could not write well, she would not have the confidence to show it to others, for fear of being laughed at. She rubbed it and threw it in front of the stove in the main room, "Forget it, I won't write it, let those educated youth write it."

Xu Xiaoyou ran over to pick it up, spread it out, flattened it, folded it, and carefully put it in her pocket.

Xu's mother also sneered, "What's the point of a woman going to school? What's the point of writing articles? This is a man's business. A woman without talent is virtuous."

Lu Hehuan was too lazy to argue with her. After writing articles for several days, she was hit by Xu Shihua. She lost her passion and went to school.

At the end of the autumn harvest, school started again.

Xu Xiaoyou now either scolds her father or her grandmother every day, "You said that a woman without talent is virtuous, and this is also said by scholars. Why do you still study? If my stepmother had not graduated from high school and became a teacher, how could the family have two salaries? Is my father capable of supporting our family alone? You are enjoying the benefits of studying, why don't you talk about the benefits of studying all day long?"

Xu's mother couldn't argue with her, and got angry and picked up a broom to beat her.

Xu Xiaoyou yelled, "Try to hit me? Believe it or not, I will put chicken shit in the noodles!"

Noodles are the food of Xu Shihua and Xu Yaoyao.

Xu Shihua said to Xu's mother, "Mom, don't hit her. She is so strong now that you can't hit her."

Xu's mother started to wipe her tears and complain, "How could our Xu family have such a heartless girl who is always trying to beg outsiders to bully our own people."

Xu Xiaoyou said bluntly, "Grandma, don't cry and complain all day long. You sing better than you speak every day. Aren't you just thinking of brainwashing me so that I can help my brother unconditionally like a workhorse? Aren't you just trying to make my stepmother help my father like a workhorse? You want to suck people's blood and you act like a mother-in-law and criticize them all day long, as if they don't know? That mosquito sucks your blood and buzzes and stinks, can you not slap it to death? "

Of course, she didn't say this herself, but she heard it from Lin Shu and Sister Lin.

After listening to it, she felt that it was right. She thought so but couldn't say it, so her aunt said it for her.

Xu Shihua was so angry that her face turned blue and she walked out directly.

Xu's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Seeing that his sister was angry with his grandmother, Xu Yaoyao came up and kicked Xu Xiaoyou. Xu Xiaoyou raised his foot and kicked back hard, causing Xu Yaoyao to fall.

"Wa wah," Xu Yaoyao burst into tears, and Xu's mother hurried to comfort him.

Xu Xiaoyou snorted, "You scold me all day long for being a traitor. Why don't you think about the fact that you are my own grandmother, but you are not as good to me as outsiders. Was I born a prisoner? You beat and scold me all day long? You say that unfilial people should be struck by lightning all day long, why don't you say that elders who abuse children should be struck by lightning even more!"

Xu's mother was so angry that she hugged her grandson and cried loudly, "Oh my God, I... I... I am so unreasonable."

Xu's mother always used her power to trample on others when she was weak, and showed weakness to the strong. Originally, Xu Xiaoyou was a weak person in front of her, but unknowingly, Xu Xiaoyou became a strong person in front of her with the help of Fang Dihua and Lin Shu.

She was helpless with Xu Xiaoyou, except for quarreling and crying.

She counted on Xu Xiaoyou to cook. If she beat Xu Xiaoyou, Xu Xiaoyou would really dare to add chicken shit to the noodles. She could do it!

Xu's mother was scared.

She remembered what her mother told her, that women should control the food and stoves at home. If she didn't cook, she had to be nice to the person who cooked. That's why her mother was always very good to her sister-

in-law. But she is a grandmother, an elder. Look at how Fang Dihua is as a grandmother?

She is the head of the family who has the final say. How come she is controlled by a kid?

Xu's mother felt so wronged.

Xu Xiaoyou ignored her and took the paper of Lu Hehuan to find Lin Shu.

Lin Shu has been very busy recently.

In addition to cooking delicious food at home, she also has to accompany the kids to raise rabbits. Then Lu Shaotang sometimes makes surprise visits, coming back at night and leaving in the morning, and no one in the family knows he has been back.

Xu Xiaoyou also came to see the rabbits a few days ago. Originally, Panpan and Tiantian said they would give her two little rabbits, but she refused.

Xu Xiaoyou said, "If you give me rabbits, I will definitely raise them well, but if I raise rabbits, I have to cut grass and feed them every day, and I won't have time to do anything else. It's better not to raise them."

Lin Shu felt that this child was very clear at a young age. Although rabbits are cute, raising rabbits is hard work.

Moreover, rabbits have a large appetite and need to eat a lot of grass and vegetables. In winter, there is no fresh grass, so they can only eat vegetables and grains.

There was no one in the Xu family to help, so she had to do all the work on her own. She had to cook for the family, which was really tiring.

Panpan and Tiantian invited her to pet the rabbit whenever she had free time, and she could touch it as she pleased.

Xu Xiaoyou handed Lu Hehuan's article to Lin Shu, and then went to hug the little rabbit.

Little rabbits grow up very quickly, and they start to become furry just a few days after they are born.

These rabbit mothers are also very peaceful. They don't mind the children touching them, nor do they mind the children touching their cubs.

Maybe it’s because a few children have been feeding them personally.

Tiantian and Panpan would use a broken knife to chop vegetable leaves and mix them with some pig food for them to eat.

Maybe the rabbits remember their smells and sounds and are particularly friendly to them.

Lin Shu looked at Lu Hehuan's article and found it to be quite good.

After all, Lu Hehuan is a high school student. Even if she only attended a half-baked high school because of the school system reform, she had completed elementary and junior high school seriously, and her level was much higher than that of today's junior and senior high school students.

Xu Xiaoyou held the little rabbit in her arms, stroking it, and asked Lin Shu, "Auntie, have you written an article?"

Lin Shu smiled, "No, I'm still learning, and I can't write yet."

It's amazing that she can read and write fluently now. If she can write amazing articles all of a sudden, it would be too curious and even suspicious.

In her previous life as a self-media, her copywriting skills were naturally first-class, and it was easy for her to write an article. It's just that she doesn't want to be in the limelight. In her previous life, she didn't like to show her face. She liked to keep a distance and ensure her own quiet and private space.

Now if she writes an article and participates in a competition with elementary school students and educated youth, it would be bullying and unfair victory, so she won't grab this opportunity.
