Hello, 1983

Chapter 38 Dilemma

"Pearl!"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but scream.

To be precise, it should be called Dongzhu, which belongs to freshwater pearls, so as to distinguish it from Nanzhu.

Such a big natural Dongzhu can already be called a treasure.

Among the eastern pearls, the golden ones are the most precious and are regarded as the royal atmosphere. During the Qing Dynasty, they were all reserved for the royal family.

Because the Qing Dynasty made its fortune in the northeast, it has a special feeling for Dongzhu, which has also led to the over-exploitation of Dongzhu, which has disappeared for a long time.

"Brother, Shan Xing discovered it first."

Little Lao Si is not greedy at all, and puts this big pearl in Shan Xing's palm.

If you look closely, you will be able to perceive the beauty of this Dongzhu even more: the particles are round and golden in color. Under the sun, it seems to really shine, exuding an intoxicating pale golden halo.

It feels foggy, like a mirage, beautiful and illusory.

Shan Xing carefully pinched the pearl with her thumb and forefinger, and soon, her big eyes also became foggy.

Two large teardrops flowed out from the corners of his eyes, as crystal clear as pearls.

Sifeng didn't know why the little sister was crying, so she could only put her arms around Shan Xing's neck: "Wufeng, don't cry, don't cry."

At this moment, Shan Xing reminded Liu Qingshan of a picture in his memory: Xiaoyingzi in the old events in the south of the city.

In Liu Qingshan's ears, there was even the melodious sound of bagpipes echoing: Life is rare to get together, only parting is more...

He knows that the little guy misses his mother: in the little guy's mind, mother's love is as precious as a pearl.

What a sensitive little girl.

"Wufeng, I'll give you this pearl, treasure it well, and keep it in your heart forever, okay?"

Liu Qingshan also caressed the little guy's head lovingly, I really hope she can have more joy every day.

This time, the little fourth was confused. She gestured a few times with her hands on her chest, raised her face and asked, "Brother, how can you put something in your heart?"

And Shan Xing also raised her face, shyly wiped the tears on her face, and suddenly smiled: "Brother, I don't want it, I'll just take a look."

Because the little guy's hands were very dirty because he cleaned up the clams just now, he wiped it into a small cat at once.

However, in Liu Qingshan's sense, this smile made the whole sky clear.

He couldn't help rubbing her head vigorously again: "Take it if you tell me, this is a gift from your mother, wear it on your body, and your mother will always be by your side."

Um!

Shan Xing agreed in a low voice, then held the pearl tightly in the palm of his hand, and hugged Liu Qingshan's arm very attached.

It was at this time that she really regarded Liu Qingshan as her elder brother, a good elder brother who could protect her younger sister.

Liu Qingshan stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped on her little nose: "Little Wu, smile more in the future, girls who love to smile will be blessed in the future."

"alright!"

This time, Shan Xing's answer was much more crisp, and her heart was even sweeter.

"Brother, you haven't answered me yet!"

Sifeng refused to follow, and hugged Liu Qingshan's other arm, shaking it vigorously.

Liu Qingshan didn't feel annoyed at all, on the contrary, he enjoyed Sifeng's stickiness and thought about it and said, "This principle is like the toffee you want to eat. When you can't eat it, do you think about it every day? Isn't that what you have in mind?"

To deal with snacks, you have to start with what you eat.

The little fourth seemed to understand, and then whispered that he covered his mouth with his little hand, trying to get closer to Liu Qingshan's ear, indicating that he had something to say.

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to bend down with her, and the fourth eldest whispered, "Brother, let me tell you, eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law always hide in bed at night and eat candy, and they must still eat gum..."

cough,

Liu Qingshan was completely speechless, and secretly decided in his heart: the family must build a new house in the coming year.

After Liu Qingshan and the others finished peeling the mussels, Liu Jinfeng, who was ingenious, had already prepared the pearls. The red silk thread was used on the outside to weave into four thin threads to wrap the pearls.

There are red tassels hanging from the bottom, and two threads are drawn from the top, which are tied around the neck of Shan Xing, which becomes a simple pearl pendant.

This time, I can envy the little fourth child, and keep shouting: "Brother, I want it too, I want it too!"

Liu Qingshan really had a trick. Looking for the four tigers playing on the avenue, he asked for a flower petal glass ball, and the eldest sister also made one for the little brother and put it on happily.

However, the clingy little fourth also reminded Liu Qingshan: Since the water quality of the Xiaosongjiang River is so good, pearl farming may also be started in the future.

Yes, when you go to Spring City next time, ask Professor Wang if they have researched this technology in the university.

While he was thinking about it secretly, the two little girls held hands and went out to show off together. After a while, the whole village knew: Shan Xing found a large pearl, and it looked good wearing it.

Everyone praised a few words, but did not say anything gossip. If it were an adult who greed for this pearl, it would be different.

There is also such an unwritten rule in the countryside: generally, if such a treasure without an owner, if it is within the scope of the village, then it is the common property of everyone.

At most, after the sale, whoever picks it up can get a little more.

If you dare to take it alone, once the villagers know about it, you will no longer need to live in the village, and you will be declared socially dead in the village.

On the contrary, it is a child like Shan Xing who has no problem holding it.

Besides, everyone knows Shan Xing's life experience, who would care about such a poor child?

Liu Qingshan was fine at home, and went out for a walk. When he came to the avenue to look, he saw a large group of people sitting under the big elm trees outside the village, enjoying the shade.

It was too hot in the afternoon, so I stopped work, ready to work for a while after dinner and cool down.

In the summer, I rush to work in the morning and evening.

Liu Qingshan also strolled over, listening to everyone talking about buying rapeseed or something.

Seeing him coming, the old party secretary beckoned to him: "Qingshan, come over and sum up, what are we going to plant in this greenhouse, we should prepare rapeseed earlier."

It's all the old dealer's style, and in some respects, it's even more thoughtful than Liu Qingshan thought.

For example, rapeseed is an important issue that Liu Qingshan ignored.

He directly found an open space and sat down. Liu Qingshan said, "Our vegetables are expected to be available before the Spring Festival, so I plan to grow celery, leeks and cucumbers, what do you think?"

In terms of eating, Zhang Dashuai has more say, he wiped his bald head: "I see, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year, celery stuffing, diligent and diligent all year; leek stuffing, long and long, all the time. Looking forward to good luck."

This makes sense, and everyone nodded repeatedly: Especially in winter, if you can chew a small cucumber, the fragrance in your mouth will make you greedy when you think about it.

The old party secretary also agreed, but he was not blindly optimistic: "It's just that the demand for rapeseed is too great, so we have to think about it."

In the past, each household was basically a self-sufficient small-scale farmer economy. When the vegetables were mature, they kept some of the seeds and reused them in the next year.

However, after so many greenhouses have been built, the demand for rapeseed has soared. Obviously, relying on the original model is not enough.

"Then buy rapeseed. Isn't the cooperative worth 3,000 yuan?"

Zhang Ganzi, who was squatting on the ground, muttered.

It's been a long time, and he came back early today. After taking a shower, he also came here for a walk, holding a branch and clasping the ant hole on the ground.

Not to mention, he really let him shove out a few white ant eggs, pick them up and stuff them into his mouth, biting them.

This stuff is slightly sour, and the little ones like to eat it, and it is very nutritious.

Since this nephew has been doing well recently, the old party secretary didn't reward him for eating, but just glared at the guy: "3,000 yuan is a lot, but buying so many supplies has already been spent."

The cooperative's plan is to first build a plastic greenhouse in each family's large garden, and then there will be nearly 30. On average, the cost of a greenhouse is about 100 yuan.

This is still not buying red bricks, but building walls with adobe, otherwise the money will not be enough.

"What? Three thousand yuan, if you don't have it, it's gone!"

Zhang Ganzi didn't care about eating ant eggs anymore, so he stood up and waved his arms excitedly: "That's three thousand yuan, enough for me to marry several wives!"

This is true. Right now, getting a daughter-in-law in rural areas costs at most three or five hundred yuan.

But there is no comparison like yours, Zhang Pole is still the same Zhang Pole.

The old party secretary was still the same old party secretary. When he went up, he knocked two pipe pots for him, and the boy was knocked sober, and he squatted there without saying a word.

"Would you like to raise some more money?" Uncle Boss proposed a new idea.

The people around couldn't help their expressions change, and then shook their heads in unison: There is really no money at home, not even money to cross the river!

The uncle of the boss also knows what's going on in each family. In fact, because he sent two girls out to study, he also borrowed 100 yuan from Linzhi.

So he also shook his head with a wry smile: "Then let's wait for the food."

"Don't be in a hurry."

The old party secretary filled a bag of cigarettes again, frowned and said, "It's almost November when the grains are sold, and our greenhouses will have to start growing in early October."

Well, there's really no way to do this now.

Everyone was not reconciled, and he hummed in his mouth: "The farmer can't afford the seeds, and the people who don't survive will be suffocated to death by urine, this is too suffocating!"

A moment of silence followed.

Liu Qingshan has been listening for a long time, and everyone is talking enthusiastically. He is a junior and has been unable to talk.

When he heard the old party secretary talking about this year's harvest, a memory flashed in Liu Qingshan's mind, and he couldn't help frowning.

It was this year's Mai Qiu'er. It rained for more than 20 consecutive days, and the wheat began to germinate on the stalks.

Finally, I finally waited for the weather to clear and harvested the wheat, but the sprouted wheat was worthless at all, so I was so angry that it was all fed to pigs.

Make everyone lose money completely, miserable.

Farming depends on the sky for food, that's it, basically no resistance to natural disasters.

This is not only a village in Jiapigou, but the entire Qingshan Commune has suffered because of this, and the loss is quite large.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but worry: this year is not very easy, I have to think of a way, how to get out of this predicament?
