After spending a day drying it thoroughly.

The next day, Qi Tongwei borrowed a cart and pulled all the two acres of rice to the grain station in the town, according to the agricultural tax of 16 percent per mu.

His acre of land had 480 pounds of rice.

For each mu of land, 76.8 catties of rice need to be paid, and a total of 153.6 catties of rice need to be paid for two acres of land, and in the end there are 800 catties left.

Today's rice is a dime and a half cents a pound.

One hundred pounds is ten dollars and two cents.

The 800 catties of rice is 81.6 yuan.

That's right, it's 81.6 yuan.

Two acres of land work hard for a year, even if you count early rice and late rice.

There are only two harvests in a year, and the two times add up to not even two hundred yuan a year.

If a family of five wants to live.

At least five or six acres should be planted, and at the appropriate time, a pig, chickens, ducks and geese should be raised, so that they can barely feed themselves.

This is the life of the countryside in this era.

But one thing is better.

Living in the countryside, it basically doesn't cost much except to study.

You can grow your own vegetables.

If you eat rice, you don't have to buy it.

Eat meat, you can kill pigs, or wait for your neighbors to kill pigs.

Eggs, you can raise your own chickens and wait to lay eggs.

After Qi Tongwei finished some things at home.

............

Around seven o'clock the next morning.

He took Chen Xuanxuan and walked towards the county seat.

If you want to take a car to the city, you have to walk 15 kilometers of dirt roads, and you can only take a bus when you go to the county seat.

They first had to take a bus from the county seat to the Lincheng bus station.

When I arrived at the Lincheng bus station, I was buying a bus ticket to Jingzhou.

As for the trains, well!

This thing Qi Tongwei is really reluctant to sit.

Train tickets are too expensive for Nima.

On the night of July 6th.

The two finally arrived at the Jingzhou bus station.

"Where are we going now. "

After a day's ride, Chen Xuanxuan was quite tired.

If it weren't for Qi Tongwei to sleep for a while, she probably wouldn't have the energy to persist until now.

"Let's find a place to sleep first!"

Qi Tongwei took the tired Chen Xuanxuan to find a hotel.

The hostel is still good, five dollars a night, and a separate bathroom, considering the money.

"You don't mind!".

"No, don't mind ......".

Chen Xuanxuan's tired face showed a hint of shyness.

"Row ......".

Qi Tongwei nodded, and then said to the innkeeper, "Just help me open a room." "

"Okay, the deposit is five dollars, a total of ten dollars. "

Qi Tongwei directly took out ten yuan and handed it to the owner of the hotel.

Soon, the boss took the two of them to a room, and there was only one bed in the room, and nothing else.

"You go take a shower first!".

"Good ......

".

Chen Xuanxuan took a set of clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

When I came to the bathroom and saw the switch, I was a little overwhelmed, she had been living in a mountain village since she was so big.

It's the first time I've seen a pipe like this for a bath with tap water.

"Tongwei ......".

"What's wrong......

".

"I, I'm not going to use this ......".

"It's hot water here, cold water here. "

Qi Tongwei walked in and taught her, then walked out of the bathroom directly, and only then walked in after she finished washing.

"Take a good look at this book. "

Qi Tongwei took out a book from his schoolbag and handed it to her.

The book is for teaching Mandarin, and it contains daily broken sentences, and each word is annotated in pinyin.

"In the future, if you can use tongues, try not to use them. "

"Like this Mandarin, you must learn it, in the future, I won't speak in dialects with you, I will speak Mandarin with you. "

"Don't talk to me in tongues or anything. "

Qi Tongwei sat on the edge of the bed and patiently admonished her.

"Why......

".

Chen Xuanxuan asked a little puzzled.

She's in the countryside, and that's what she always speaks.

"First of all, the chain of contempt exists everywhere. "

Qi Tongwei patiently explained: "Although they are all singing about the good farmers and the peasant uncles are shouting loudly, the people in the city naturally look down on the countrymen. "

"Although others don't say anything on their faces. "

"In my heart, I will still be disgusted with it. "

Qi Tongwei, regardless of his previous life or this life, when he was a freshman, he was despised for a while because of the problem of speaking.

"I get ......

".

Chen Xuanxuan nodded silently.

It's just that what she said was no longer the dialect of her hometown.

On the contrary, Qi Tongwei has been speaking Mandarin, and even speaks it quite standardly, without any sense of accent at all.

"Look, isn't that a good thing to say. "

Chen Xuanxuan said with a smile: "When I used to watch movies, I deliberately learned some things. "

The harvest season is in June and July every year.

In order to respond to the call, as well as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the masses.

The county will organize people to go to the countryside to show movies.

About five or six times a year, she would go to see it every time and study the words.

"That's how it should ......."

Qi Tongwei nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while, then lay on the bed and went straight to sleep.

Although the two slept in the same bed.

Qi Tongwei at night is more honest than anyone else.

This is a one-meter-five-wide bed, and if they all sleep on one end, it is estimated that they will be close together.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei and Chen Xuanxuan slept at one end alone.
