As soon as Li Zhaokun's first seven days passed, Wang Yulan went to mow the grass and dry it every day, from morning to night, as if there was no time to stop.

Occasionally, when the afternoon sun approached forty degrees, Li He was worried when he thought about it, and he had to risk being scolded to pull her back.

On both sides of the river slope are a mess of weeds, waist-deep, and today there is no wind, but they are shaking one by one.

Li He didn't have to think about it to know that Wang Yulan was inside, and shouted, "A-Niang, it's so hot, don't go home yet, I'm starving to death, and I haven't eaten in the morning." ”

It took a long time for a head wearing a straw hat to emerge from the grass, it was Wang Yulan.

A handful of weeds she had just cut in her hand lay flat on the ground, and the hand holding the sickle wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Li He.

Li He said, "Pay attention to the sickle, don't cut yourself." ”

He watched with horror.

Wang Yulan said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a child. ”

Li He said, "Then let's go home first, and then come back in the afternoon, there is a lot of grass, and we won't run with long legs." ”

In addition to their family, no one else in the village is willing to mow the grass, and it is not uncommon for people to give it away for free, and weeds are the least resistant to burning.

There was a shovel on the ground, which he picked up and carried on his shoulder.

Wang Yulan followed behind him, walked halfway and said, "Give me the spade." ”

Li He looked at the poplar trees on the side of the road, and then said, "I'll cut it, you go home, can you rest for a while?"

The old lady was going to shovel the branches of the poplar tree with a shovel and dry them as firewood.

Wang Yulan looked at the dazzling sun and ordered, "This slip is over." ”

Li He has to agree if he disagrees, or maybe it will be even more endless, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll cut you as much as you want." ”

Under the attention of the old lady, he held his head high, held a shovel, found a branch and shoveled, clicked three or two, and a wrist-thick tree girl drooped, implicated by the bark.

He put down the shovel and pulled it with both hands, and the branch was pulled down at once.

"Stupid. After Wang Yulan muttered a few words, she turned around and left.

Li He didn't dare to stop, for fear that the old lady would be dissatisfied and turn back, so he shoveled down two more in succession.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Wang Yulan's figure that he stood out of breath under the shade of the tree, and had the effort to clean up the sweat on his forehead.

He felt that there was no way to do this, and it was really tiring on a hot day.

simply took out his mobile phone and called Pan Guangcai.

Pan Guangcai said, "I'm at home, you just come over, do you want to come and drink, I'm eating." ”

Li He said, "Hurry up and eat, I'll cut branches on the riverside, you can help me ask who has a chainsaw, and then move a ladder, rely on a shovel shovel, and you can't shovel much from exhaustion." ”

The palms of my hands are burning, and I can't say that I will grind a bubble out of it for a while.

What's more, the more you use the shovel, the more dull it becomes.

Pan Guangcai teased, "You are really idle, you have nothing to do for yourself." ”

Li He said angrily, "Can I be voluntary? What is the situation of my old lady now, you don't know, hurry up, I'll wait." ”

was about to hang up the phone, and said in a panic, "Don't be in a hurry to hang up, wait, also, drive the tractor over, I'll pull it home and dry it at the door." ”

Pan Guangcai said, "Wait, I'll go to Fat Chen, he has a chainsaw at home, but he still has to find diesel." ”

Li He said, "You go to Da Zhuang's house, I saw their warehouse the day before yesterday, several barrels of diesel, you just move over." ”

Pan Guangcai said, "Got it, just wait." ”

Li He hung up the phone, took off his shirt, which was wet in the water, wiped his face with his shirt, and then shook it in the water and put it on his body again.

Lighting a cigar, leaning against the trunk of a tree, just about to squint his eyes, his back hurt, and he reached out and pinched his back, it was a black ant.

The ants climbed up the trunk of the tree, and when I looked down, there was a layer of black ants on the ground, densely packed, coming in and out of the cracks in the ground.

He confessed, flicked the ant in his hand, and hid under another tree.

Pan Guangcai, Li Hui, Chen Yongqiang and others drove a walk-behind tractor over, and there were also Sang brothers, Da Zhuang and Chu Yang in the carriage.

Before the car stopped, Li He shouted, "You guys are crazy, so many people are here." ”

Pan Guangcai parked the car on a machine plow road on the side of the road and said with a smile, "If there are few people, I don't know when I will get it." It's so hot, let's finish work early. ”

Li He helped Chu Yang move the ladder down, and asked with a smile, "Why do you have time to come over today, aren't you busy?"

Chu Yang said with a smile, "He Laoxi has been in the provincial capital for the past few days, I just came back today, and I took him back by the way, just came out of his house, I saw Li Hui driving a handcart, asked him what he was doing, said cut down trees, I followed, anyway, it's not a big deal." ”

Li He said with a smile, "Then don't go, let's rub together at night." ”

Li Hui said, "I planted that row of poplar trees, you can cut down the whole tree casually, and it will be troublesome to cut the trees." ”

Li He said, "I don't need so much, so thick, only stewed meat can be used, and the thin branches can be burned normally, they are all so thick, it's a pity to cut them at will." ”

Chen Yongqiang was strong and strong, holding a chainsaw with one hand, climbed the ladder, and worked hard in three or two times, and the trunk was bare from top to bottom, and five or six branches came down with a bang.

Li Hui, who was holding a ladder underneath, was almost hit by a tree branch.

He said angrily, "You slow down, scratch my head, you really have to pay me for the medical expenses." ”

Chen Fatzi said, "Are you afraid that I can't afford to lose?"

With the boom of the chainsaw, another branch fell on one side.

After sawing the twigs of a tree, let Li Hui pick up the chainsaw first, and then slowly retreat from the ladder.

Li He was smoking a cigar leisurely while directing Pan Guangcai to throw the branch into the carriage.

Pan Guangcai said, "No wonder you are the boss, this posture." ”

Completely shake off the shopkeeper.

Li He said embarrassedly, "I'll do Dong in the evening, please eat well." ”

Pan Guangcai said disdainfully, "It's hard to say whether you can get food yourself." ”

Li He said, "Could it be that the hotel is a decoration, I invite you to go down to the restaurant." ”

Li Hui said, "You can do it, okay, I'll go to town for your meal and make trouble." ”

Sang Yongbo said, "Don't go to the town, I'll go to Lao Pan Fish Pond to catch an old turtle and stew soup at night." ”

Pan Guangcai said, "Take my things and be your favor, you are really good at calculating." ”

Sang Yongbo said, "It's hurtful to say this kind of thing, who is with whom of our brothers?"

Chen Yongqiang finished sawing the branches of a tree again, rested for a while, still felt his arm sore, and asked, "This thing is heavy, which of you will come?"

Sang Yongbo said, "I'll come." ”

As soon as he took it from Chen Yongqiang's hand, he felt that his hand was sinking, he couldn't climb the ladder with one hand and the ladder with the other hand like Chen Yongqiang, he could only climb the ladder first, and then hold up the chainsaw with both hands.
