Chapter 59: The First Day of Work
Following the big guy to the wilderness, the captain saw Jinqiao carrying a hoe and asked tentatively, "Have you hoeed the ground?"
"No." Jinqiao answered very simply.
"Then do you want to change your job?" The land reclamation is not afraid that he will hoe the ground. The captain is afraid that he will hurt him the first time he goes to the field. The young man looks unreliable.
"No need to change it, captain, I'll hoe that piece?" Jinqiao is full of confidence.
"Come with me." I can't persuade you. Forget it.
The captain took them to the wasteland where Zhao Dachun's family was in charge. Thinking that they were barely familiar with the family, the Zhao family kindly said that they could take them.
Today, the Zhao family is here except Zhao Siying, who went to school.
Zhao Erxia is also here. He is six points similar to Zhao Dachun. He is also thin and tall. He is simple and honest, but he looks much younger.
The work of a family of five and four people led the hoeing, just the frame of Dachun Niang.
"Uncle and aunt, this is an educated youth with me: Liu Zifeng, Jinqiao, Yunduo."
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Three people greeted politely.
"Okay, you are fine." The old couple were a little embarrassed: "Jin Zhiqing, you also hoe the floor. Come and come with us."
"Okay." Jinqiao is very confident.
"Brother Jinqiao, take it easy and learn from uncle first." Clouds still think the Golden Bridge is unreliable.
"Sister Yunduo, just look. Okay, your brother, I learn things very fast." That confident look is even more unreliable.
Liu Zifeng knew his brother's nature so much that he didn't persuade him: "Be careful yourself."
It's getting late. Without further talking, the three followed Da Chunniang to a little farther away with the box.
Da Chun Niang is not good at words. She just asks them to see how she picks it up and learns. The stone is separated from the roots of the grass roots. The roots of the grass roots can be burned, and the stones should be carried to the designated place and piled up.
The people here are very harmonious. Liu Zifeng still takes good care of the two female comrades, let them pick up the roots and throw them to him if there are stones.
The Golden Bridge is not so smooth.
"Jin Zhiqing, you are in the wrong posture. You will hit your feet like this."
"Jin Zhiqing, how can you hold the hoe firmly and wave it again? Why do you wave it tilting it?"
"Jin Zhiqing, be careful. Hold it tight. Don't throw the hoe out."
"Jin Zhiqing..."
It's all Zhao Sanqiu's voice, but from the beginning of detailed guidance, it soon became angry.
Even the Zhao family and his son next to them were affected by their progress.
The clouds are also convinced. In just so short, it is also his ability to make such a cheerful girl anxious.
Liu Zifeng asked, "Jinqiao, do you want to change it with me? I'll try to hoe the floor."
"No, I've learned it well. What should I exchange for you?" Jinqiao doesn't believe that he can't learn well.
Yunduo was too lazy to persuade him. He walked straight over and grabbed the hoe, pushed him away quickly, picked up the grass, which was in the way.
"Sister Sanqiu, don't be angry. You taught me that I cleaned up the vegetable garden at home, and I would do it a little." Yunduo smiled obediently at Zhao Sanqiu, and the girl couldn't afford to be angry.
"Come and I'll teach you how to take the hoe like this..."
The clouds are really good at it. Jinqiao is a little incredible. Is it that bad? Not even sister Yunduo is not as good as her?
In fact, Yunduo himself can still do it in her previous life. Although she didn't do much, she remembers her practice, not to mention that she is strong now.
Hoe a few times, turn over the hoe and smash the earth. The slightly larger stones and so on will be picked up aside by the way. It did a decent job under the guidance of Zhao Sanqiu.
Zhao Sanqiu is even more angry now. It seems that she doesn't teach well, but that she can't teach.
Once you are proficient, coupled with the strong strength of the clouds, the speed is not slow, but the hand grinding hurts a little. The clouds still slowed down and looked so prominent that her hands would blister. She knew that this was an inevitable process. Try to make yourself to make fewer bubbles. That really painful.
Jinqiao looked at Yunduo learning so fast and was a little eager to try. He was suppressed by Liu Zifeng. In addition, Zhao Sanqiu just provoked off, so he did not dare to come over and pick up stones honestly.
Soon it was lunch time, the captain came to inform the work, and the clouds greeted him.
"Captain, I want to ask for leave to send a telegram to the county to report the safety of my family." Yunduo said that today is the third day after she left home, which is the day when something happened at home in her previous life. She told her family before she left. When she arrived, she would send a telegram home. If there was anything wrong at home, she had to send her a telegram on the fourth day.
"We also want it." Jinqiao Liu Zifeng also wants to report safety with his family.
Li Yan doesn't need it. She doesn't want to contact those people. I can't wait for them to know where she is. But those who want to come to the house don't care whether she is safe or not.
"I'm going too." Xu Ke came over aggrievedly. She didn't share it with the four clouds, and was assigned to the wasteland next to her and grouped with others. She didn't want to, but now she is isolated here and helpless and dared not make trouble.
Probably the captain also saw that these people were not very suitable with Xu Zhiqing, especially Yunduo. Avoiding her is like avoiding stinky shit. They are unwilling to stand with her. In order to avoid conflicts, they assigned her to Tong Yao and others. They stayed together for one night, and they should also be familiar with each other.
"Since you are all going, I'll give you a half-day off. After sending a telegram, I will visit the county department store and buy everything you lack. The weather here will be cold soon, and everything should be prepared to protect you from the cold. You can't ask for leave if you have nothing to do in the future."
"Thank you, Captain."
"I have something to do today, so I won't see you off. I'll ask someone to drive you in a cattle cart to take you. Go early and come back early. I will find someone to write down the work I did today." The captain waved to Zhao Dachun: "Dachun, you drive a bull car and accompany them to the county. I'll calculate the points for you."
Zhao Dachun didn't say anything, but nodded.
"Captain, I'll go too. My quilt is thin. I'll buy a quilt."
"Okay, you all go. Go back for lunch first. After dinner, you can gather at the entrance of the village by yourself." After the command of the captain, he left first with his back.
"Let's go. Let's return the tools first." Yunduo greeted several people: "Brother Zhao, are you together?"
Zhao Dachun nodded again.
If it hadn't been for Li Yan's house yesterday and heard him, I wouldn't have been able to speak. I wouldn't have said a word in the morning.
Chapter 60: Turning Your Face
Yunduo returned to Grandma Xia's house. Grandma Xia had already cooked rice. The fragrant white rice with a bowl of steamed egg custard and egg custard bibimbap. It's simply not too fragrant.
"Wow, Grandma Xia, you made egg custard. It tastes delicious." The cloud felt that his saliva was about to fall.
I was dry food on the train for two days. I ate porridge last night, and porridge this morning. Recently, I'm used to eating delicious food at home. Yunduo felt that I ate too little light these two days.
"As long as you like it. Come and eat it." Grandma Xia said hello.
"Okay, I'll wash my hands." Cloud quickly cleaned up and washed her hands.
"Grandma Xia, I'll go to the county with Brother Jinqiao later to send a safe telegram and go shopping. Do you want to bring anything?" I scooped a spoonful of bibimbap into my mouth. It was so delicious.
"Look if there is any meat seller. If so, buy some and come back. There is no meat at home. Other grandmothers don't need it. Wait, and grandma will get you a ticket."
"Oh, Grandma Xia, no..." Yunduo didn't expect Grandma Xia, who was weak, to run so fast.
Without much meeting, Grandma Xia came out with a folding and regular navy blue striped handkerchief, which was obviously wrapped in the handkerchief.
Grandma Xia opened the handkerchief layer by layer and revealed a pile of great unity inside. Yes, it was great unity. There was no hairy ticket. It was amazing.
She took two pieces of Da Unity and put them on the side. Grandma Xia lifted the corners of her clothes on one, two or three layers. She took out the clothes inside, took out another dark red striped grid handkerchief folded into small bags, and opened them again. Well, the woollen bills are here, and there are all kinds of bills, fragmented piles.
Grandma Xia didn't take the hairy ticket. She picked up a few tickets and sent them to Yunduo with the two big unity: "Here, this is grandma's money for your meat."
"Manny Xia, don't coax me. You don't need this money to buy meat." The clouds don't answer.
"If you buy more, you can buy some snacks or something. There is nothing at home. My wife, I don't eat those at home." Grandma Xia insisted.
"That doesn't need so much." God, you can buy a lot of things for 20 yuan, okay? The meat is only 50 cents per catty, but not clouds.
"Take it quickly, or grandma will be angry." Grandma Xia said a little seriously.
"Okay." Yunduo was quickly picked up by Grandma Xia's serious face and felt that the money in her hand was a little hot.
"That's almost the same. Eat it. Who will take you there?" The expression on Grandma Xia's face immediately eased, and the two handkerchiefs were wrapped back as they were.
"The captain asked Brother Dachun to send us."
"Dachun is an honest man, and he is also good to send it." Grandma Xia nodded.
"Uh-huh." Yunduo also nodded. It was too honest. He could do whatever he asked him to do and didn't say anything.
After dinner, Yunduo packed up the dishes and chopsticks, went back to the room and operated it again. After changing his clothes, he said goodbye to Grandma Xia.
They converged with Li Yanjinqiao halfway and went straight to the entrance of the village. Li Yan said that Zhao Dachun went to the cowshed early.
By the way, the cowshed, Yunduo remembered that there seemed to be two old people in the cowshed. She didn't pay much attention to it in her previous life. She only remembered that the two old people hadn't survived this winter.
You have to take time to have a look. She didn't understand in her previous life. Now she knows that there are many people who have been framed and wronged. If someone in her previous life had a hand in her family, wouldn't it be so miserable? Now her family is fine, but there is someone in front of her who may be the same as her family in her previous life. She wants to have a look. If she can help, she is willing to help.
At the entrance of the village, Zhao Dachun had already rushed to the ox cart and waited there. Several people did not grind. Get in the car and sit well. Zhao Dachun waved his whip.
"Sister Cloud, what are you going to buy?" Jinqiao asked.
"I want to buy quilts, an enamel basin, a boiling water bottle, a wheat milk essence, and buy some meat for Grandma Xia." There are basins and boiling water bottles in the cloud space, which are not easy to take out.
"So much? But they are all needed, huh? It seems that I have to buy these too." Jinqiao thought he only needed a thick quilt. Neither he nor Liu Zifeng brought a boiling water bottle. He was afraid that it would break it on the road. The water washed yesterday was now boiled, and the water he drank was asked Zhang Yunqing for.
Liu Zifeng didn't say anything and was also thinking about what he needed to buy.
"Sister Cloud, did you bring so much money? I have to take all these tickets. Have you brought them with you? Xu Ke came up and asked.
"I brought it. My parents were afraid that I would suffer, so they brought them to me." Look, look, and I began to inquire again, Yunduo slandered.
"What do your parents do? It seems that your conditions are not bad. My parents are double employees. Xu Ke threw out his family background.
"Three employees in our family."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters? Like my family, I also have brothers and sisters. My conditions are not bad, but our family is still relatively economical. That seems to be a diligent and thrifty sage man, and the clouds are the extravagance and waste?
"My brother is in the army and my brother is at school. Do you have anything else to ask?" Yunduo was a little impatient. She felt that there was no need to talk to Xu Kexu and the snake. The woman's face was too thick. When she found an opportunity, she wanted to stick to it. It's better to turn her face and let her roll away.
Yunduo's mind is different now. She can't play conspiracy. She always wanted to avoid it before and was afraid of Xu Ke's way. Now she thinks about it, what are she afraid of? What does she think? Directly frontal. Isn't it better for everyone to know that they are not dealing with? In the future, Xu Ke will have a good relationship with her, and no one will believe it, will he?
"Sister Cloud, I don't want to ask about anything, I just care about you. How can you say that?" Xu Ke is wronged.
"What did I say? You keep asking and asking. Do you check your household registration?"
"I'm just worried that you spend money indiscriminately. I just remind you as a sister."
"Whose sister are you? I don't have a sister surnamed Xu. My surname is Yun. In addition, our relationship is not so good. Don't you always pretend that we have a particularly good relationship, okay?"
"I really just care about you. I don't mean anything else. When I saw you on the train for the first time, I knew that we were educated youths together, I treated you like a sister. We were still getting along well on the train, didn't we Brother Liu?" Xu Ke seemed to have suffered great grievances and looked at Liu Zifeng with tears.
"Comrade Xu, please call me Liu Zhiqing or Comrade Liu." Liu Zifeng has a right face.
Xu Ke doesn't know what kind of expression to make now. With a twisted face, isn't Yun Duo shouting Brother Liu? Why can't she?
