"Good son-in-law, you are doing a good job in the county. Why are you going to Diaozhuang, a place where birds don't shit in Yuquanying?" Li Laoshuan didn't understand very much. Wang Zhong and Shui Hua are living a good life now, so why go there?

What diaozhuang immigration to participate in?

Especially after hearing Li Dayou's description of the Yuquanying place, Li Laoshuan naturally did not have a good impression.

"Now that Diaozhuang immigration has started, it will not stop. It's just the initial stage now. Only seven households have passed through our village. Once we have established a firm foothold in the village, there will be seventeen or twenty-seven households next time. Maybe

In the future, our entire Yongquan Village will be moved there."

"ah?"

"The whole village will be moved there? No way?" Li Laoshuan said in surprise, his words full of disbelief.

"I just said it casually and made a guess!" Wang Zhong explained casually without saying any more.

Immigration to Diaozhuang has just begun, especially when Li Dayou and others have just returned from Yuquanying. The villagers still cannot fully accept Diaozhuang.

"Although Yuquanying is now the Gobi Desert, the country takes care of it and provides us with infrastructure construction. In the past, we only had to build houses and prepare the land, and wait for the Yellow River water to be poured in the future. Are we afraid that we will not be able to grow anything in the land?

"

"If it were possible to pour water from the Yellow River, wouldn't anyone want to go?" Li Laoshuan said, "Didn't they say that there is wind all year round there, with strong winds of three to six or nine, light winds every day, and winds of one or two?

Blow, that’s a mouthful of sand!”

"And there are sandstorms!"

Li Laoshuan said worriedly.

Although Li Laoshuan was a bit unreliable, Wang Zhong could tell that he was caring about himself and Shui Hua.

"My father-in-law, Shuihua and I have to endure more hardships now. When we have a child in the future, the child will not have to endure so much hardship. Do you think this is true?"

"The truth is this, then since you don't want your children to suffer hardships with you, can you move to the county under your conditions? Why do you have to go to Diaozhuang?" Li Laoshuan was very puzzled.

"Moving to the county?" Wang Zhong shook his head: "My father-in-law, do you think the county is more prosperous than Lanzhou?"

Li Laoshuan answered directly without thinking: "That must be Lanzhou!"

Lanzhou is the transportation hub of the northwest. The capital of the neighboring province is much more prosperous than the small Haiji County.

Wang Zhongdao: "I was in the Lanzhou Military Region when I was a soldier. I didn't stay in Lanzhou and came back to our Yongquan Village. Is it just to live in Haiji County?"

"Then why did you come back?" Li Laoshuan asked puzzledly.

"I want to do something that I can for our Yongquan Village!"

Li Laoshuan looked at Wang Zhong who looked calm next to him, his eyes flashed slightly, his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

When I got home, Shui Hua was rolling out noodles in the kitchen. The mutton in the pot was almost stewed and the dough was almost rolled out.

Take a piece of dough the size of a pot lid, about two millimeters thick, sprinkle with flour, fold the rolled dough up, and cut it into thin strips with a long knife.

"Let me do it!"

"You go watch the fire!"

The long knife was thick and heavy and required quite a bit of strength. Wang Zhong hurried over and snatched the job away.

They were already an old couple, and Shui Hua didn't show politeness to Wang Zhong and gave the knife to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong's knife skills are better than Shui Hua's.

Hold the knife with both hands and push everything, and the noodles cut out will be extremely even.

"What's going on in the meeting?" Shuihua asked.

Wang Zhong said: "What else can happen? Those who came back don't want to go. My uncle and Uncle Shui took the lead and asked them to re-register. I was the only one to sign up. The rest of the families who came back were drawn by lot, and the ones who were drawn were re-registered."

past."

"If I had known this, why would I have run away?" Shui Hua shook her head.

"Whether it's a great achievement, clearing land, or building a house, it's all hard work. People, you always prefer comfort to hard work."

"With the help of the country, if you suffer for a few years now, life will definitely get better and better in the future. Why can't you understand such a simple truth?"

Shuihua held the iron tongs in her hand, sat on a small stool, and fiddled with the coals in the stove hole twice.

It was midsummer, the days were long and the nights were short. Although it was almost five o'clock, the sky was still bright outside.

"Have you signed up?" Shuihua asked.

Wang Zhong's face-cutting movements didn't pause at all, "Sign up!"

"I've thought about it too. I'll call Uncle Shui and the others over there first, and then I'll pick you up after the house is built over there! What do you think?"

"I'll go there with you!" Shui Hua shook her head and said firmly: "Husband and wife are one, how can I let you go there and endure hardship alone."

"Besides, when you go there, you have nothing. You have to work hard during the day and cook for yourself at night. If I follow you, I can help you during the day and help you with cooking and washing at meal time.

"

The long knife collided with the eucalyptus board, making a slight sound. Wang Zhong was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's too bitter over there!"

"I live in Diwowo. When I wake up in the morning, half of my body is buried in the sand. There are sandstorms from time to time. You wait for me to go over first and finish the house. It won't take a long time, at most it will only take a month. By then,

Come here again!"

Shuihua said: "I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want to stay with you!"

"I can not let it go!"

"I married you so that you could enjoy happiness with me, not to endure hardship with me."

Shui Hua put down the iron tongs, walked to Wang Zhong, and said firmly: "As long as I can be with you once, any life will not be bitter!"

Wang Zhong's movement of cutting the noodles paused, and he stuck his long knife on the eucalyptus board. Listening to Shui Hua's heartfelt words, how could there not be ripples in his heart?

But the more this happens, the less likely Wang Zhong is to let Shui Hua follow him now.

"Okay, just listen to me on this matter. The summer harvest is about to begin. If you and I both go there, will it be possible for my father-in-law to harvest the wheat alone?"

"Don't worry, with your husband's ability, he can only build a house. How can he find me?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Alas!" Shuihua sighed, shook his head helplessly, walked to the stove, disliked the wooden lid, and the water in the big pot was already pouring.

It boils, rolls, and makes noise.

"The water is boiling! Come down below!"

The noodles cook very quickly. After cutting the noodles and placing them in the pot, roll them up three times and they are ready!

Take it out after cooking, run it through cold water, scoop out a spoonful of lamb ribs stewed with red onion, pepper and wolfberry, sprinkle with salt flowers, if the taste is a little stronger, pour a spoonful of oil and spicy pepper, no other seasoning is needed, just delicious

The mutton soup is enough to turn the dull noodles into a rare delicacy.

Li Laoshuan was holding the sea bowl, his whole face almost buried in the bowl. He was adding spoonfuls of sesame seeds, slurping noodles, and drinking noodle soup. After a while, he put down the bowl and held it slightly.

My stomach burped.

For rural people, a full meal can last them three days.

Li Laoshuan ate so much that his throat was almost full. With his bulging belly, he burped, put his hands behind his back, and wandered out of the house.

After eating, Shui Hua helped Wang Zhong pack his things.

A change of clothes, a blanket, pots and pans, toothpaste and toothbrush, towels, and the most important food!

It was night, Shui Hua changed from her usual shyness, completely put down her reserve, and accompanied Wang Zhong to fight mosquitoes all night.

The next morning, the seven families who went to Diaozhuang gathered at the village headquarters. Under the leadership of Ma Defu and Director Zhang, they took a bus to the county and spent most of the day before arriving at Yuquanying.

But there is still a long way to go before we get to the Diaozhuang location this time.

"Uncle, please slow down!" Wang Zhong and others pulled the cart that Director Zhang had found. The cart contained each family's luggage.

"How about you get in the car and sit for a while?"

"You coward, who are you looking down on!" At first, the old man was quite happy, but when he heard Wang Zhong's words, his face immediately changed: "I think back then, when I went on the Long March with your grandfather, your father didn't even return the favor.

You know where to go!"

"Still going on the Long March? People walked 25,000 miles on the Long March, but you only walked 20 miles, and you were shot by Ma Jiajun in the butt ditch and ran back to the village..."

Li Dayou next to him said in a strange way.

He originally didn't want to come to Diaozhuang. At first, he encouraged several Diaozhuang households in Yongquan Village to run back to the village. But now the old party secretary chased him away and almost put a knife on his neck to force him to come.

, he can be in a good mood, that’s a damn thing.

Unfortunately, before he could say a few words, the cloth shoes that were always covered with mud flew towards him and hit him right in the head.

The rest was naturally bottled up.

"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" The old party secretary glared at him fiercely.

His baby was so prosperous that he had to send his shoes back to the old branch secretary all the time.

A smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face, he shook his head and said nothing further.

It is natural for me to beat my son. Li Dayou asked for the beating himself, and Wang Zhong couldn't stop him.

The people in the village had long been used to this, and they all suppressed their laughter and looked at Li Dayou's deflated look with amusement. Among the group of people, the one who laughed the most was the horse shouting for water.
