With the help of the green mule this year, my uncle's family's affairs were completed soon.

Li Qinglin no longer needed the farm work of his uncle's house. Li Qinglin drove the mule cart along the same road. When he passed by the big locust tree, Li Qinglin stopped the mule cart and refueled the axle.

At this time, most of the big mule and horse carts are made of hardwood wooden axles. The wooden axles have high friction. After walking for a while, the car needs to be refueled to reduce friction. Therefore, a tincture pot is hung on the mule and horse carts. When it is time to refuel, the handlebar will stop and refuel the axles.

The mule cart does not require gas now, and Li Qinglin parked the car so that he could meet Jiang Meizhi again.

When I passed by here last time, Li Qinglin subconsciously looked for her figure, but did not see her. Later, Li Qinglin recalled the first time she met and thought that Jiang Meizhi was the healthy and lively type and looked very ordinary.

Where did she attract herself? Li Qinglin asked herself in her heart. Suddenly, he found that Jiang Meizhi was like a person, who was very familiar with him in his previous life, that was Zheng Yunyun, the "Old Zheng" who was so familiar with him that he could not be more familiar with him.

Zheng Yunyun is not pretty, she is much older than Li Qinglin, but Li Qinglin likes her very much. If it weren't for the pressure of the world, Li Qinglin would even be willing to marry her. Zheng Yunyun is not beautiful or young. In addition to being obsessed with her sexually, where else did she attract herself?

Li Qinglin in his previous life once thought carefully that Zheng Yunyun was kind, healthy, strong, cheerful and motivated. She had many more connotations than those young and beautiful girls. It was enough to have these advantages.

Although I have only seen Jiang Meizhi, Jiang Meizhi's childlike movements touching the green mule with her hands, her innocent smile and shy rosy rosy face, and her healthy body when she walks quickly, these left a deep impression on Li Qinglin's heart. Perhaps, Li Qinglin has already regarded Jiang Meizhi as Zheng Yunyun's incarnation in his heart.

The fields are full of busy people, and the pedestrians on the road are also in a hurry. "People misplace the place for a while, and the land misplaces the person for a year." In this beautiful spring, farmers dare not delay any delay.

While Li Qinglin was wasting time, the person he wanted to see the most appeared - Jiang Meizhi was walking from the ground with a black water jug.

Farmers do heavy physical work in the field, and their families usually send water to drink. In this era, thermos bottles have appeared in China. In the early 1920s, a factory in Shanghai began to produce thermos bottles. Although the price of dumping large amounts of industrial products in Europe, the United States and Japan in China fell, the retail price of a thermos bottle in Henan Province was nearly three oceans. In the eyes of farmers, daily necessities worth three oceans are definitely unattainable luxury goods, so farmers usually use earthenware jugs to deliver water to the ground.

Jiang Meizhi hurriedly walked here with a water jug ​​in her hand. Perhaps because she was walking too fast, she was slightly breathing and her face flushed.

From a distance, I saw a mule cart parked under the big locust tree. There was a person next to the cart oiling the axle without any haste. There were not many big carts passing by on the road every day, and Jiang Meizhi didn't care at first. When she approached the mule cart, she found that the green mule looked familiar. She looked to the side and saw that the person who was using the oil was Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin had seen Jiang Meizhi for a long time, and for some reason, his heartbeat accelerated a little.

Li Qinglin in his previous life can be regarded as a countless girl. Zheng Yunyun once bluntly commented on Li Qinglin's "being a groom every day and changing a bride every night". How can he act like a little virgin who has never seen the world?

"It's really a waste of time!" Li Qinglin cursed himself secretly.

Jiang Meizhi got closer and closer, and Li Qinglin's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He knew that in this era, men could not easily chat with girls, and all he wanted was to look at her.

While working hard, Li Qinglin secretly glanced at Jiang Meizhi with his eyes. Jiang Meizhi found Li Qinglin on the side of the road, and his face was a little smile, but when she walked past Li Qinglin, her face was slapped, and she didn't even look at Li Qinglin, and she snorted and walked over quickly.

Li Qinglin saw Jiang Meizhi smiling at first, but later she saw that her face was perverted and unkind, and she felt a little confused. She had no place to offend her, so why did she do this?

Jiang Meizhi walked away, and when she saw Jiang Meizhi, she turned out to be like this. Li Qinglin was full of suspicion. Li Qinglin packed up the oil pot and drove the mule cart back to Xiaolizhuang.

Li Wanquan and Liu Xiuzhen are responsible and diligent farmers, and they arranged the farm work at home in an orderly manner by them. The crops grown in the south and north are different, so the farm work is also different. Li Qinglin, in his previous life, lived in the countryside when he was a child. He has never done farm work since he went to college. When he first started working, he was a little hard. Fortunately, his physical fitness is pretty good now, and his family is full of food recently. With his heavy martial arts practice, Li Qinglin himself can feel that his body is getting stronger and he can gradually adapt to the hard work.

The activity of buying yarn and spun cotton is still continuing. The orders of the 29th Army are very urgent, and the demand for cotton yarn is huge. The eight people who participated in spun cotton will start the spinning wheel as long as they have some time. Although it took a little time to prepare for tillage, due to their increasing skill and the quality of the yarn is getting higher and higher, every time they go to sell cotton yarn, they will be sold at the highest price.

The Japanese raised the price of cotton for only a while. The vastness of China was beyond their imagination. The price of lint in Wan'an County rose, and merchants stepped up their stockpiling of cotton. The rise in prices prompted a large inflow of cotton from Jinzhou in the west, and in the end, the price of lint in the market gradually fell. Li Qinglin calculated the profits he had obtained before and after, and he could make more money.

The plan to grow a large number of sweet potatoes in Xiaoli Village is also in an orderly manner. The four families in Xiaoli Village used to grow corn, and this is the first time this year. In order to grow this season of sweet potatoes, Li Wanquan and others specially found relatives of various sweet potatoes to buy seed potatoes and asked about their experience. After investigation and research by these farmers, they unanimously concluded that sweet potatoes produce large yields, drought and barren resistance, and sweet potato vines can be edible or fed livestock. In addition to the technology required for early seedling cultivation, other areas also need to weed, turn seedlings, fertilize, and water them in time during the growth period. The labor intensity is much lighter than planting corn.

The ridges on the steamed bun slope have been raised, and the sweet potatoes that have been planted have been put into the seedling pit with fine sand. Li Wanquan and the others watered them every day, just waited for a while to grow the sweet potatoes and then cut off the vines, and then planted them in the ground.

Li Qingqi's chicken raising plan is also going smoothly. Li Wanquan and Li Wanxiang's family have a hen to hold their nests, and each chicken coop has twenty eggs. According to past experience, it is no problem to hatch thirty-five and six chickens this year. "Hatching chickens twenty-one, hatching ducks twenty-eight", the chickens can break out of their shells in about twenty days.

The men of the Li family unconditionally supported this plan because they all believed that Li Qinglin, Liu Xiuzhen and Liu Erhua had experience in raising chickens, but they did not agree.

At this time, farmers generally lack food, and even people eat enough. A few chickens are raised by the farmer's wife just to lay a few eggs and change salt and needlework. In spring, the old hens at home will not let them hatch eggs when they hold their nests. They will only soak the hen's belly in cold water to "awake" the eggs. If the family really needs to raise chicks, they will only buy the chickens hatched by other people at the market. "Fighting rice pound chickens" is an old saying. When so many chickens grow to sell, how much food should they eat? Although they are not very happy, they dare not express it because the two heads of the family support raising chickens. Even if they have any opinions, no one listens.

Li Qinglin was very confused during this period. Liu Zhengsheng’s questions have been affecting him. Yes, what should you do in the future? Li Qinglin kept asking himself in his heart.

The full-scale war of resistance has not yet begun for more than two years. Fighting against Japan is the unshirkable responsibility of the patriotic young man. If you want to fight directly, you can only join the army. Joining the national army is not what Li Qinglin wants. Besides, there are parents at home who have unlimited expectations for him. Now that he has joined the army, what should the two relatives do?

Li Qinglin was always very conflicted, and even had insomnia one night. After thinking about it, Li Qinglin was still unsure of his mind. Until one day he thought about what he was doing now, he suddenly realized.

Why are you doing spinning, buying land to grow sweet potatoes, and raising chickens to practice martial arts now? Isn’t it just to make your family rich quickly first, your family have a relatively comfortable life, and at the same time, you have the ability to kill enemies, and finally you can join the ranks of killing enemies and serving the country with peace of mind?

Supporting a family is to fulfill filial piety, and joining the army is to serve the country. Joining the army and fulfilling filial piety are nothing more than a matter of time. Why bother with this?

After thinking about this, Li Qinglin felt relieved. In the future, he worked as a martial arts while doing farm work. In his spare time, he took out his previous master's books to read and practice calligraphy, and taught Wei Sanya to read and write - because the accounts of buying flowers and spinning are all managed by Wei Sanya.

The days passed day by day!
