On duty in the polder, most of the time it is idle, and there is nothing to do.

So, some people get together to smoke and chat, some people get together to get shoe soles or sweaters and chat by the way, and some people secretly hide in the corner and play cards to pass the time.

It may be because of Xu Tongdao's limelight in the village today, which spread to the polder, not long after Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin sat there, several women and old people gathered and asked curiously.

It's just to ask if he really beat Xu Hengbing?

Or something else.

It's all related to what Xu Tongdao did this morning.

Xu Tongdao was not very interested, and he replied without a word, but these people who were already bored didn't care, so they gathered here to chat with Xu Tonglin.

The countryman's favorite thing these days is small talk.

Time passed little by little, until someone in the house shouted "It's time to eat......

As soon as they heard that the meal was open, everyone outside the house got up and walked into the house, and some people were still trotting.

Before Xu Tongdao set off from home in the afternoon, he had eaten a bowl of duck soup soaked in pot, so he was not hungry.

But when Xu Tonglin got up, he called out to him, "Let's go, Xiaodao! Your mother has handed over rice, hurry up! Someone will finish the meal when it's late! Hurry up!"

People here say that they have rice, and they generally say that they add rice.

Xu Tongdao hesitated slightly, then got up and followed.

He was afraid that if he didn't eat now, he would be hungry in the middle of the night.

He remembers that when he was a teenager, although he was a little thin, he ate a lot of food and was hungry quickly, after all, it was the time to grow his body.

His mother brought a lunch box, he knew.

When I entered the kitchen, I was in a pile of lunch boxes and lunch bowls, and I recognized it at a glance.

But when he opened the lunch box and saw the dishes in the lunch box, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The dishes in the lunch box were prepared by my mother in advance.

On duty in the polder, everyone handed over the rice, and then assigned a woman to borrow the big pot of the master's house to cook the big pot of rice.

And the dishes that everyone eats need everyone to bring ready-made from home.

Xu Tongdao's eyes swept over the dishes in other people's lunch boxes and lunch bowls, and at a glance, they were basically much better than the dishes in his mother's lunch box.

And his mother's lunch box only had a few pickles and a small pile of fried greens.

These were originally the dishes that her mother prepared for herself, but now it is his son's dishes.

With such a dish, he will not be unable to eat.

But thinking that his mother has been on duty every day recently, and this is what she eats every day, and the fever on her body has not subsided, he doesn't feel good in his heart.

The hatred in my heart for the uncompetitive father is even stronger.

When Xu Tongdao put down the spatula, Xu Tonglin said: "Xiaodao, you eat so much at night? Do you have no appetite for the dishes left by your mother? It's okay! You add some more rice, and we will eat my dishes together! Really! My mother burned two crucian carp for me today and steamed the salted meat! Let's eat together, it's enough!"

Xu Tongdao glanced at him, smiled slightly, turned around and left the stove, and said casually: "No, no! When I came in the afternoon, I ate it, and now I'm not very hungry, you can eat yours!"

Although he said so, when he came to the back of the house and squatted under the eaves to eat, Xu Tonglin, who came with him, enthusiastically sandwiched a braised crucian carp and a few pieces of salted meat from his lunch box and put them on Xu Tongdao's rice head.

Xu Tongdao couldn't refuse, and he was a little moved in his heart.

He's a small person, he's really good, at least he's good to Xu Tongdao, it's really a pity if this guy is allowed to drown in the river like the original time and space.

The two of them squatted under the eaves and ate a few bites, when the sky began to rain heavily.

During this year's rainy season, it seems to rain heavily every night.

As soon as it rained, Xu Tongdao and they could only go into the house to eat.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a man say, "Oh, this ghost is trying to destroy people! The water level in the river is so high, and it is raining so heavily...... Captain: You won't ask us to go up to the polder tonight to pick a head, will you?"

Another man answered: "I guess I'm going to pick up dirt again tonight!"

Others were babbling something similar.

Xu Tongdao recognized the captain of their production team.

Although the rural areas have long been contracted by households, and the production team no longer has a sense of existence on weekdays, things like the flood control in Shangwei are still organized in the form of a production team.

At this time, Xu Tongdao heard the captain of their production team shake his head and said, "It's hard to say, I guess I'm afraid I have to pick a head, the water level in the river is too high!"

It is a means of flood control when it comes to flood control.

When the water level of the river is too high and is about to overflow the polder, it is necessary to carry the soil by manpower, and add a mound, about half a meter wide, to stop the river that is about to overflow the polder.

This kind of work is very tiring, because when you need to pick up the head ridge, it is often when the flood situation is critical, and it is generally in the wind and rain weather, urging everyone to speed up and carry the soil from a distance.

Xu Tongdao prayed in his heart that he didn't have to do this work tonight.

Because his current 17-year-old body has not carried much on his shoulders, if he is really asked to carry the soil and pick the head ridge tonight, his shoulders may not be able to stand it.

This has nothing to do with the size of his current strength, people who don't often carry burdens on weekdays can't withstand this force on their shoulders.

Pity......

His prayers obviously didn't work, and a few minutes after they had eaten here, a man in a raincoat came from outside the house, and before he entered the door, he stood in the heavy rain outside the house, and shouted to the house: "Three teams!

In the house, Xu Tongdao and the captain of their third production team agreed, and the man outside the house strode away.

It seems that he has gone elsewhere to inform other production teams.

"Did you hear it? What are you still bothering about? Hurry up and take your burden and follow me up to the polder!

The captain urged everyone loudly.

Xu Tongdao saw everyone go to get their respective raincoats and flat shoulders, and also heard everyone's whispered complaints.

Including Xu Tonglin's complaint beside him, "it! Lao Tzu came to mess around, and he actually caught up with the picking, and his mother attacked him!"

Xu Tonglin's complaint is actually Xu Tongdao's voice at this time.

But what's the solution?

The instructions from above were handed down, and he didn't dare not go, he was really caught by the above, which was unlucky.

I had no choice but to ask the captain, where was his raincoat and burden?

As soon as he got on the polder, he was startled.

The river is hundreds of meters wide, and the water level is no more than one meter away from the top of the polder.

The turbid river is still tumbling in the river and flowing downstream, such a high water level, he has grown so big, he has never seen a human being in two lives.

He had heard of heavy rain like tonight, and if it were to rise by more than a meter overnight, it would be possible.

Is this about to break the polder?

Although he knew that the original time and space and their township had not broken the polder, but seeing the water level in the river so high at this time, Xu Tongdao couldn't help but worry in his heart.

At this moment, Xu Tonglin, who was not far from him, seemed to be suddenly frightened, and exclaimed in fear, Xu Tongdao was startled, and hurriedly turned his face to look.

But seeing Xu Tonglin running forward like crazy, in everyone's exclamation and stopping, before Xu Tongdao could react, Xu Tonglin had already rushed out of the polder, poof, and got into the tumbling river without a head, which shocked Xu Tongdao to the point that his hair stood on end, and the whole person was stunned.
