Back in the village, Jiang Xiaochuan was in a good mood.

Solved a hassle.

Looking at Jiang Xiaohe who was playing in the yard at this time, he thought that the farming work was over now. The teacher should also go back to teach.

"Xiaohe, are you going to class now?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaohe smiled awkwardly: "Brother, I don't know either. I didn't say when the class would take place before."

Hearing his brother's words, he thought of the recent incident of stealing food.

It's not peaceful outside now. Just study at home.

But he still said with a serious face: "Just show me the following books before school starts. When you go to the provincial capital, don't be too late."

When Jiang Xiaohe heard his words, he gave a light "oh".

Turn around and run to read a book. Now my brother's words are the imperial edict.

Qin Xiao next to him looked envious.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan thought for a while, and said to Qin Xiao, "Qin Xiao, I haven't asked you, have you ever been to school?"

Hearing his words, Qin Xiao nodded. He said, "I didn't go to school until the second grade. Something happened at home. Later, my grandfather said that the world was too chaotic, and going to school delayed me from learning crafts. I won't be allowed to learn."

Jiang Xiaochuan scolded for a while when he heard the words.

This old man looks very shrewd, how can he do stupid things.

They have urban hukou. Even though Qin Xiao is a girl, she has to go to school.

And the old man Qin will definitely not be short of money.

He said casually, "It's more important to learn a craft than to go to school."

Qin Xiao's face darkened when he heard the words, and he said, "Grandpa said that he is getting old, in case he leaves one day. I don't have the means to protect myself."

Hearing Qin Xiao's words, he was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask if his father was still there?

But the words came to the mouth, but still did not come out.

"Then do you want to go to school?"

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "I want to."

"Then why didn't you read when Xiaohe was reading before?"

Qin Xiao said embarrassedly, "No one taught me."

When Jiang Xiaochuan heard the words, he smiled and said, "That's fine, take the book and read it yourself. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Qin Xiao asked suspiciously, "Don't you know how to read?"

Jiang Xiaochuan's head turned black, and he said embarrassingly, "I learned the books that Xiaohe went to school, and then I learned it slowly."

Hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's words, she snorted in disbelief.

Then happily ran to the house, holding Jiang Xiaohe's book and began to read.

Seeing that the two were reading, he walked out of the yard.

Out of the door, he let out a sigh of relief.

It is autumn and winter now. The weather has turned cold, and compared with previous years, there is only a lack of snow.

At the intersection, Jiang Dingzhong was fixing something on the scooter. A dozen people stood beside him.

Jiang Xiaochuan became curious when he found out that it was two bags of soybeans.

This ration has already been handed in. Why are you pulling soybeans out?

So he asked, "Uncle Jiang, what are you doing here?"

When Jiang Dingzhong heard his words, he said: "Oh, there is almost no oil in the village now. Go squeeze some oil and come back, and by the way, get some bean cakes and come back to eat."

"cake?"

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the bean cakes Jiang Dingzhong said were probably the bean dregs left over from the oil extraction.

Isn't that fodder?

But he also wanted to go and have a look, and then find an opportunity to see if he could squeeze some oil.

"Uncle Jiang, why don't you take me there. I'll take a look."

Hearing his words, Jiang Dingzhong said indifferently; "Whatever you want, if you want to go, just follow. Be careful on the road."

Hearing his words, I thought of the situation outside recently. Jiang Xiaochuan understood in his heart.

And he saw that among the dozen or so people he followed, there were militiamen in the village, and a few had fellows. .

Jiang Dingzhong shouted, and several people started to set off slowly.

In fact, the journey is not far at all, after all, you will reach the commune after crossing the river. Just need to detour.

The car moved forward slowly.

"Ouch."

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, looking like an old lady.

At this time, the old lady was wearing thin clothes and was sitting there covering her feet. Appears to be stabbed.

Jiang Dingzhong was about to step forward when he saw this.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Xiaochuan drank immediately.

He thought of some rumors in his previous life, some people who really couldn't find food, specially squatting on passers-by, and first used a person as a bait. When people are not prepared, they pick up the food and run away.

Then the thoughts dissipated.

Sure enough, there were several people lying in the grass nearby.

Jiang Dingzhong looked at Jiang Xiaochuan suspiciously. Asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xiaochuan pouted towards the place where the person was lying.

Jiang Dingzhong had been a soldier after all, so he subconsciously understood what Jiang Xiaochuan meant.

thought. "No way."

However, he still waved to a few people. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly picked up the guy in their hands.

They didn't move, after all, they didn't know what was going on.

It is estimated that there is no chance to see. After waiting for a while, I saw a few people slowly crawling up from the grass.

All are withered. Shivering in the cold wind.

Several people then pulled up the old lady and left without speaking.

Jiang Dingzhong looked at a few people. Relatively raw, should not be nearby people.

Then he looked at Jiang Xiaochuan and said, "Xiaochuan, how do you know there are people hiding in the grass?"

I see ah.

But he dared not say it.

Then he said, "Uncle Jiang, as you know, I've been running into the city these two days. I heard it."

Jiang Dingzhong was shocked when he heard the words, "Is it so serious already?"

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't speak when he heard the words, just nodded.

Jiang Dingzhong was silent for a while, and then directed everyone to continue to the commune.

On the way, Jiang Xiaochuan said something to Jiang Dingzhong.

"Uncle Jiang, you don't know, Jiangtai Village is very good now. It's not so easy in other places."

"I also went to the city and listened to what others said."

Jiang Dingzhong was shocked when he heard the words. Continue on your way.

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't say anything when he saw this.

The group soon came to the oil mill.

At this time, someone was already extracting oil there, and the other party was Sun Zhenglin from Suntai Village.

"Lao Jiang, come squeeze oil."

Jiang Dingzhong recovered from his previous thoughts. He smiled and said, "Yes, the village is out of oil, how much are you pumping?"

Sun Zhenglin sighed softly and said, "150 catties of soybeans. This is the only one left in the village. At the beginning of next year, it is estimated that we will buy soybean seeds."

Jiang Dingzhong nodded lightly when he heard the words. Said: "We are also 200 pounds, but we keep a little."

Sun Zhenglin heard his words and said, "Then you have to leave me some bean seeds."

Hearing his words, Jiang Dingzhong said, "Don't worry, if it's enough, I'll leave some for you."

Jiang Xiaochuan was watching the oil extraction workshop from the side.

In the yard is a shed. There are quite a few people, seven or eight.

Under the shed was a large pot that looked like a stone.

A young man below was burning firewood, and a dark old man above was frying a pile of soybeans with an oversized spatula.

Next to a stone mill, a donkey was slowly turning around the mill.

And a large steamer next to it was slowly steaming.

The most eye-catching is the machine that presses the cake. But it is also manually rotated.

I saw a donkey slowly turning, and then some oily substance slowly oozes out of the oil cake.

At this time, a master inside came out. Looking at the soybeans sent by Jiang Dingzhong.

He smiled and said to Jiang Dingzhong, "Lao Jiang, it is estimated that only you and Lao Sun squeeze the most oil in the vicinity. The rest are only a few dozen kilograms, so how much oil can be produced."

The current soybean oil yield is very low~lightnovelpub.net~ At most, ten pounds of soybean oil can be squeezed out.

Jiang Dingzhong sighed and said, "No way, this year is too dry. I hope next year will be better."

Hearing the words, the other party beat him, "You are a crow's mouth, how could you work for so long."

Jiang Dingzhong thought about it too. Then smiled.

Jiang Xiaochuan heard their conversation and shook his head gently.

After watching it for a while, it didn't feel so troublesome, but I don't have these devices myself.

"Xiaochuan, go." Jiang Dingzhong called out to Jiang Xiaochuan who was watching the oil extraction.

"Uncle Jiang, don't you wait for the oil to come out?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Dingzhong laughed and said, "How can it be so fast? It won't come out until tomorrow at the earliest. If it's slower, it will take the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Xiaochuan snorted softly when he heard his words, and followed Jiang Dingzhong back.
