Chapter 127: night cream
On this day, Xu Chenghou brought his son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter to Donggang to celebrate Xu Haiyuan\'s full moon.
By the way, I also brought some yellow smoke seedlings and sweet potato seedlings to Xu Shiyan, so there is no need for Xu Shiyan to go back to the big house now.
Everyone had lunch at Xu Shiyan\'s place, and left for the big house in the afternoon, Zhou Guilan naturally followed.
Before leaving, Xu Shiyan gave his mother another thirty yuan and a few cloth tickets.
"Mom, I should make you a suit of clothes, but I\'m also busy, let alone Yingzi.
You take the money and the cloth ticket, and go back to the county to buy a piece of beautiful cloth and make a suit of clothes. "
My mother has been here for a month and a half, and the daughter-in-law and children are very well taken care of.
Su Anying didn\'t lose weight after confinement, on the contrary, she gained weight.
Not to mention Xu Haiyuan, the flesh of his body, the joints of his arms that look like lotus roots, are all thanks to Zhou Guilan.
Xu Shiyan is grateful to his mother from the bottom of his heart, and has nothing to show, he can only give some money and cloth tickets.
Zhou Guilan refused, but Xu Shiyan stuffed it in his pocket.
"Mom, my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are watching over there. It\'s so ugly for us two to tear it back and forth. I\'ll keep it for you."
Zhou Guilan saw it, and couldn\'t argue with her son anymore, so she had to accept it, and then left Donggang and returned to the big house with Xu Chenghou and others.
As soon as Zhou Guilan left, the house suddenly seemed much empty.
Fortunately, there is a little guy like Xu Haiyuan, the little thing is getting more and more fun after the full moon, and he has less time to sleep during the day, lying on the kang and kicking his calves.
Sometimes she can babble and chatter, she looks fat and white, which is very rare.
Xu Shiyan kept his word. After searching for a day, he actually went to the store of Songjianghe Forestry Bureau and brought a sewing machine back.
By the way, I also bought a complete set of cutting rulers, scissors and other tools for Xu Shiqin.
But Xu Shiqin was so happy that he cut a half-sleeve top for Su Anying that day, and made it in the middle of the night.
The next morning, I ironed it with an iron and brought it to Su Anying. Su Anying tried it on and it was just right.
"Liu Liu, you are good at this craft, and the clothes you make are really beautiful."
Su Anying stood in front of the big mirror and looked left and right. She was very satisfied and even praised Xu Shiqin for her good craftsmanship.
Xu Shiyan was also very happy to see it. The sixth child is really good at this skill, so he must praise him a few words.
"Third brother, I have been learning from the master for several months, and I can make most clothes.
My master secretly told me a few days ago that he would let me study for another two months, and then find a way to help me get rid of the relationship and see if I can stay in the tailor shop to work. "
Xu Shiqin is ingenious, no matter what he looks at, he knows it.
Plus she will come to work, and she will bring something to the master from time to time.
Nothing else, fresh cabbage, radish, and lettuce from the vegetable garden are brought to the master in different styles every day.
The master is a worker. There is no vegetable garden at home, so you have to buy vegetables to eat, and someone will give them to you. Wouldn’t you be happy?
After coming and going, she took more care of Xu Shiqin. No matter what clothes she made, she would call Xu Shiqin to look at them, and then tell them after reading.
Xu Shiqin is not stupid in the first place, and even if the master teaches so hard, what else can\'t he learn?
"Yo, your master is good at it, you can deal with it.
It would be the best if you can stay in the store, receive salary, get red card, not bad. "
The tailor shop is a subordinate unit of the Forestry Bureau, collectively owned, and the masters in the tailor shop are all paid regular workers.
If Xu Shiqin can stay, even the initial apprentices will have a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and they can still eat food supplies, which is a good thing.
"If you need money or things to leave favors, tell me, and I will help you find a way. As long as the work can be implemented, everything will be easy to handle."
The Forestry Bureau is a good unit that everyone wants to work on, with high wages and good benefits.
If Xu Shiqin can really become a worker, he really doesn\'t have to worry about it in the future.
Even if she is laid off in a few years, she is not afraid. Xu Shiqin knows how to work, can open her own shop, and retire when she gets old. What a great thing?
Even if you spend a little money on favors, it\'s worth it.
In late May, the club has grown quite tall, and it\'s time to start weeding the ginseng field.
And Xu Shiyan also began to prepare for the top dressing of fermented bean cakes.
Yu Shouguang allocated three young men to Xu Shiyan, and drew out a 50-foot-frozen stick as an experimental field.
also promised to keep another 100 feet of new planting this autumn, all of which will be used to test the effect of bean cake fertilizer.
Xu Shiyan took the task and led his men to crush the bean cakes.
The bean cakes of this year are all machine-pressed into a big disc, and it is not easy to smash them.
Steam the bean cakes in a pot for a period of time, wait until the bean cakes are softened by the water vapor, and then chop them with a guillotine.
Those who make the base fertilizer soak the bean cakes, add pesticides, and pile them up in a spare room to ferment.
After fermenting to a certain extent, take it out to dry, and put it away after drying, and use it when planting ginseng in autumn.
The bean cake water for topdressing can be fermented in a large tank or pond, but the easiest way is to dig a deep pit in the horseway, and then add water and bean cake powder to fertilize.
The advantage of this is that it is close to the ginseng field and it is convenient to fertilize.
The disadvantage is that there is no agricultural plastic film these days, so there must be yellow mud in the temporary pits, and the bean cake water is mixed with yellow mud water.
But it’s okay, it’s all going to be poured into the ground anyway, yellow muddy water is yellow muddy water.
Just like that, Xu Shiyan led his people, first crushed the bean cakes, and then went to the ground, dug a few pits in the fifty-foot pond and horse trail, and began to fertilize.
"Hey? Why do I feel that the temperature has been a little low these two days?"
On the evening of May 24th, after finishing work, Xu Shiyan and three other young men walked outside the venue together. Xu Shiyan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It’s almost June, and summer is coming soon. Why is the temperature so low in the evening?
"Really, if you don\'t tell me, I haven\'t noticed yet, it\'s chilly.
This year\'s bad weather is terrible enough. It didn\'t rain in the spring, and it rained again a few days ago. The ground temperature can\'t rise. I don\'t know what the crops will grow. "
The people together raised their hands and rubbed their arms, and quickly put on their coats.
"I feel cold, it\'s not a good thing, I\'m afraid of late frost."
Xu Shiyan vaguely remembers that it seems that in the past seven or eight years, in late May and early June, there were continuous late frosts in Daying, Songjiang, Xinglong, Donggang, Quanyang, Beigang and other areas, and the affected area was more than 40,000 mu.
At that time, Xu Shiyan was working in the Da’an Coal Mine. He listened to the radio broadcast from you. He couldn’t remember the exact time.
But Xu Shiyan knows one thing, the No. 2 bridge is the frost road, and as long as there is frost, he must go here.
Now all the sticks have sprouted quite tall. If there is a late frost and the sticks are frozen to death, the consequences will be very serious.
"Let\'s go, take the car home." Xu Shiyan was a little anxious when he thought of this.
Hurriedly left the venue, found the carriage of the brigade, boarded the carriage with everyone and returned to Donggang.
Getting off the carriage, Xu Shiyan didn\'t even go home, and went straight to Yu Shouguang\'s house. "Secretary Yu, I have something to tell you."
