In the past two days, the villagers had only been watching the fields and making trouble with Widow Wang's family, and they had completely forgotten about the drought in front of them.
But Lao Zhu's family has not forgotten it. Zhu Tiezhu watched the girl next door making noisy these two days with a cold eye. Although it looked outrageous, it was not out of line to be frivolous and it could still calm people down.
Zhu Tiezhu felt that this girl was fine except for her talk and being unpopular with others, and her honest look was enough.
When they were leaving, they told Aunt Zhu: "If you have nothing to do at noon, just go to the captain's house for a walk and marry your wife. It's okay for us to catch up."
Aunt Zhu was already a little unhappy in her heart. This marriage had originally wronged her boss, but now it's just like how she picked up the wild girl next door.
If several families hadn't gone to the brigade to get food in white slips, but none of them came, saying that they couldn't pay for food casually, Aunt Zhu would have almost followed her eldest son's wishes and not mentioned marrying the wild girl next door.
Aunt Zhu: "The boss is careless and makes a fuss all day long. I'm also afraid that I won't be able to worry about it once the marriage is over."
Zhu Tiezhu snorted coldly: "My heart is as high as the sky, and my life is as thin as paper. Let him suffer a little loss and stop making trouble."
Aunt Zhu: "Our own child, you really have to watch him suffer."
Zhu Tiezhu: "Don't spoil your child. Marriage is a big deal, so you can't leave it to him. If he has the ability, he can go out and play around on his own. Don't point at home. I'll let him be free. Does he have this ability?"
Aunt Zhu immediately softened: "Don't be angry, I'm trying to persuade him."
Zhu Tiezhu: "Don't worry about him. Once we get engaged, my wife will take care of it."
Aunt Zhu thought to herself, "If you don't look like a wild girl, how can you control your son's intentions?"
He didn't dare to tell Zhu Tiezhu that his son would have to be dealt with when he came back: "I know, I'll go talk to the captain's wife later."
Zhu Tiezhu just went out with his pole. After watering the ground a few days ago, he saw that the ground was cracked by the sun again. I guess he will have to carry water today.
When he came across a field on his way out, Zhu Tiezhu rarely said anything: "Girl, take the pole with you. It's drought, I'm afraid I'll have to carry water today."
Tian Tian was stunned for a moment. It was rare for the villagers to rush to talk to him. He thought the sun was coming out from the west.
Tian Tian: "I know, uncle." Without another word, he turned around and went to get the pole and bucket.
By the time Tianye went out again, Zhu Tiezhu was already far away.
It was a sunny day, and Tian Tian suddenly felt that dark clouds were flying above his head, and he couldn't even blow them away. He felt very bad.
When the team leader divides the work, the one with the pole and bucket will naturally carry water, and the rest will carry manure and fertilize.
In comparison, fetching water is naturally better. But Ye Ye didn't have the slightest intention to thank Zhu Tiezhu.
This feeling is terrible, but I still don’t know where the bad signs come from.
The team leader said that the corn is about to sprout. If you dare to water the crops and top it with fertilizer in these two days, the team can take a few days off.
Even though the age was not good, everyone was still very happy when they heard that they were going to have a holiday. When they were working in the morning, the atmosphere was noisy.
In the fields, they carried water in front to irrigate the fields, and a few women who knew about it carried manure and fertilized the fields in the back.
The most active person in the whole village is the Zhu family boss, who is full of energy and runs around a few people who know the truth.
Tian Xin said, the peacock spreads its tail to attract the attention of the female bird. Could it be that this man is showing off his dung-picking skills to the educated youth?
How could you be so stupid?
When they were carrying water in the fields, they could always bump into each other while carrying dung, even if they tried to pretend not to notice.
Tian Ye glanced at Zhu Tiezhu several times, and the patriarch's face turned gloomy.
While fetching water from the well, Uncle Niu said with a smile: "Brother, it's a pity that your boss got six points. Look at how energetic he is. Ten points is not much."
Tian Tian almost burst out laughing, wasn't he so energetic? He was running around a few educated youths and his third grandson all over the place.
Uncle Niu's words are quite heartbreaking.
Captain Tian glanced sideways at Zhu Tiezhu and banged the pipe and pot.
Accountant Zhu: "Young people are full of energy, but we are really old and can't compare."
Zhu Tiezhu's mouth pursed into a straight line.
Tian Ye was stunned as if he hadn't seen anything, so he carried the water and left. No one could tell what this girl was thinking. In the end, everyone thought that this girl was just stupid.
Captain Tian walked on the big stone beside the well: "Brother, no matter what, you have to be careful and watch it properly."
When Zhu Tiezhu heard what the captain said, he felt happy: "That boy just needs to be taken care of. It would be nice if he had a wife to keep him tied up."
Captain Tian: "That's true."
Zhu Tiezhu's face looks better.
Tian Tian was carrying water and met Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu was very energetic carrying the dung frame and still had the energy to glare at Tian Tian.
Tian Ye didn't know whether to fulfill him or not, so he deliberately stepped forward to get close to him, so that this man would probably stop making trouble.
When the sun is at its strongest at noon, the team leader rings the bell and calls it a day.
Tian Ye's last fetching of water was later than others. When he returned, there were not many people in the fields. Seeing that in half a day's work, the large fields were watered again, Tian Tian felt emotional. The power of a large collective is great.
Such a large field of corn and such dry weather cannot be saved by one's own efforts.
Tian Tian saw a piece of land at the edge of the village that was far away from the well and could not be watered. The leaves of the corn seedlings were all yellow. It was difficult to watch the heading.
In the brigade, the field has caught up. Captain Tian said that he will be busy for half a day in the afternoon, watering the remaining fields and fertilizing, and then he can call it a day and go home. Starting tomorrow, the brigade will have a few days off.
At noon today, we had a meal in the brigade canteen. We had enough corn noodles to boost morale. It was a reward from the county for their collective drought-fighting spirit in Shanggang Village.
Of course, the food is still provided by the brigade, but the name is just nice.
As soon as the captain finished speaking, Tian Ye saw Mrs. Niu running home. Tian Tian said, "It's time to eat. What are you doing, aunt?"
The aunt of the Sun family followed behind: "What can I do? I'm going home to get a big basin."
This is really Aunt Niu’s style.
Tian Ye only has a clay pot at home. If he brought it, he would be more famous than Mrs. Niu. Just go to the canteen and use the usual big bowl.
The women and children in the village all ate together in a lively manner, almost like Chinese New Year. But the scene was as big as five thousand ducks.
There were several families where the children were throwing themselves into fights, and the women were quarreling with them.
Tian Ye was silently hiding in a corner eating noodles. She couldn't help in these occasions. The further away she was, the better.
Otherwise, if someone's child bumped into her, she would be the one to blame in the end. If it were in the past, she would have been the original sinner and would have been burned to death to exorcise evil spirits.
But now her status is quite good, no one dares to burn her to death, and she can still live a peaceful life alone.
When Tian Tian was carrying a pole to go to work, he saw Mrs. Niu, her belly bulging from eating, coming out with a large basin of glutinous rice noodles, ready to take it home to continue in the evening.
This is really full of responsibility, even dinner is taken care of.
