"Yuemin!"

Zhong Yuemin seemed to hear someone calling him, thinking that it was his auditory hallucination, and continued to build the overflow channel.

"Brother Yuemin, someone called you. Hanwa, who handed him a brick next to him, reminded.

Zhong Yuemin looked up at the slope, Li Kui stumbled down the ditch happily, Zhong Yuemin was very happy at first, and then his eyes were attracted by the figure behind him.

That figure was very familiar, Zhong Yuemin suddenly felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, he resisted the urge to rush out, wiped the mud off his hands, got up from the ditch, didn't care about the mud on his trouser legs, and went up the slope.

"Yuemin!" Li Kuiyong hugged Zhong Yuemin's arm tightly, looked him up and down, and almost didn't recognize him.

After working on the construction site for a few days and soaking in muddy water all day long, Zhong Yuemin had no image at this time, with green stubble on his bald head, shiny cotton jacket rubbed on his cuffs, several holes in his pants, and mud on his legs and shoes.

Li Kuiyong first thought it was funny, and then a series of questions:

"How did you all become monks?"

"Why are you educated youths doing such heavy work?"

······

"There is a shortage of food in the village, so they all go out to beg for food, and there are not enough people on the construction site to support so many people. How's life going in your village?"

If Zhong Yuemin hadn't interrupted him, Li Kuiyong's problems would have arisen one after another.

"We are very good, the food subsidy given by the county is enough for us to eat and harvest. ”

"Why is Qin Ling here?" Zhong Yuemin asked in a low voice while dragging Li Kuiyong.

Li Kuiyong knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, "She proposed to come first, and I originally wanted to come to see you, so I came with me." ”

Qin Ling stood on the half-slope, and the educated youths present all looked at her, she was suddenly a little shy, regretting her recklessness.

Zhong Yuemin walked up to Qin Ling and looked at her intently.

"I've been thinking about going to see you for a long time, but when I came back from the county seat, things kept going on, and I didn't take time to do it. ”

"You haven't come, so I'm coming to see you. Qin Ling had thought of a lot of reasons, such as borrowing books and the like, but in the face of Zhong Yuemin's gaze, she finally told the truth.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing, and the more he laughed, the happier he became.

Qin Ling was still a little inexplicable at first, but he was also laughed by Zhong Yuemin, and the two of them were standing on the slope, laughing so much that they couldn't stop.

"What kind of nerves do these two people commit?" Zhao Dayong looked at the two of them standing there and smirked, and for some reason, he pushed Zheng Tong next to him.

Zheng Tong said: "When people deal with the object, they can laugh as much as they like." Don't look at it for those of us who are alone. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Dayong to continue working.

Wang Hong also heard the laughter coming from the dirt slope, turned her head to look, and saw the two people against the blue sky, and her face turned white all of a sudden.

Jiang Biyun saw her standing dumbfounded, and gently patted her shoulder.

Wang Hong turned around and smiled reluctantly, signaled that he was fine, and continued to work.

"This sister is so good-looking!" Hanwa suddenly complimented.

Cao Gang next to him teased him: "Hanwa, do you want to ask for such a beautiful aunt when you grow up?"

"No, the master said that the beautiful aunt can't stand it, and she can find someone who is capable of giving birth. Hanwa replied solemnly.

"Haha, that's true. You're a big ghost, and you know a lot!" Cao Gang patted the back of Hanwa's head and laughed.

Hanwa touched her head, a little confused, not knowing whether her big bald head agreed with his statement, or thought he knew more.

Looking at the sun, Qian Zhimin shouted: "It's time to eat!

"You eat this every day?" Li Kuiyong asked as he looked at the bowl in Zhong Yuemin's hand.

Zhong Yuemin ate very fragrantly, "This is already good, corn paste, pickles, and baked potatoes." ”

Li Kuiyong is a little unbearable, and the people who see the world's restaurants in Beijing now treat baked potatoes as a delicacy.

"Eat mine. Qin Ling handed Zhong Yuemin a piece of bread.

"No, you can eat. My baked potatoes are also delicious······

Before Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, Qin Ling directly stuffed the cake into Zhong Yuemin's mouth and took the baked potatoes in his hand.

"Baked potatoes taste so good, you can't just eat them yourself. "Qinling is like having eaten something that has never been eaten before.

Zhong Yuemin knows very well that baked potatoes have no taste except for a little starchy fragrance, which is far inferior to roasted sweet potatoes.

"Eat it, how does the bread taste? I made it myself." Qin Ling saw that Zhong Yuemin never chewed the cake in his mouth, and urged.

Zhong Yuemin swallowed the cake in his mouth and boasted, "It's delicious! The cake you made is so delicious, better than everything I ate before." ”

"It's better than meat?" Qin Ling asked with a smile.

"It's better than meat. Zhong Yuemin replied as if it were true.

"Hahaha, talking nonsense with your eyes open!"

"Hey, that's what you said before, the beautiful girl Zhong Yuemin hooked up with, right?" Zhang Guangzhi asked in a low voice next to Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong gnawed on the potato in his hand and said, "What's the matter?"

"Say not envy, that's a lie, I don't believe you don't envy? Let's chase a girl, it's difficult, this Yuemin went to the county seat, and there was such a beautiful girl chasing after her, why is the gap between this person so big!" Zhang Guangzhi looked at Zhong Yuemin, who was eating bread, and said with affection.

"I've known Yuemin for so long, I've known this for a long time, and I've completely resigned myself to my fate, the main thing is that I can't blame society for being ugly. Zheng Tong replied.

Zhang Guangzhi suddenly lost interest, and the steamed bun dealt with the corn paste in the bowl.

Everyone was eating, and Lao Zhao came with a bag and a wooden stick.

"Grandpa Zhao, why are you here?" Zhong Yuemin hurriedly helped Lao Zhao's head and took the cloth bag on his shoulder.

"It's all good babies, you have been working these days, and I haven't rested the old man. Lao Zhao pointed to the cloth bag and said, "I went to a well-connected village to borrow some grain." ”

Zhong Yuemin looked at the old Zhao Tou, who was a servant of the wind, his body was covered with rubbing mud, and his nose was sore.

"Grandpa Zhao, how many places have you been these days?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"I went to more than a dozen villages, and now everyone is not rich, so everyone is still willing to give the heroes some face and borrow some. Old Zhao said with a smile.

Zhong Yuemin opened the bag, and the grain inside was colorful, wheat, corn, sorghum, millet······ Lao Zhao Tou went to various villages to gather one scoop and one bowl at a time.

"Master, are you tired?" Zhong Yuemin stroked the back of Lao Zhao's head and asked distressedly.

"Don't be tired! You have been doing heavy work on the construction site at a young age, and the old man has carried such a little food, what are you tired!" said Lao Zhao Tou and straightened his waist.

Zheng Tong said: "Grandpa Zhao, we are also working for ourselves, and after this dam is built, we won't have to starve in the future, don't you say?"

Others agreed, pretending to be modest.

Lao Zhao Tou looked at the village in the distance and sighed: "Eh, these farmers, many people only care about the small profits in front of them, and they are unwilling to go to work because they can't eat dry food on the construction site, and they don't consider that the dam has been built and will benefit from generations to come." You dolls from the city, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, gritting your teeth and persevering, you can see the long term than you. ”

As far as everyone can see, there are empty caves, and those who can't get out of the village have already gone out to beg for food.

"Qin Ling, your name is so nice!" Jiang Biyun and Qin Ling fell asleep next to each other, and the two of them were talking.

"Your name is also very good, 'Sunset and blue clouds, beautiful women have a different future', very poetic. ”

"How did you two meet?" Jiang Biyun asked cautiously.

Wang Hong and Li Ping also didn't sleep, and they were listening with their ears pricked up.

Qin Ling didn't feel embarrassed: "The first time I saw Yuemin was in the canteen of the county guest house, he was wearing a torn cotton jacket at the time, and Zheng Tong, I couldn't wait to pull all the dishes on the table into my stomach, I wondered if they were starving to death and reincarnated." ”

Jiang Biyun almost burst out laughing, "This matter is what the two of them can do, sometimes they want to save face, and sometimes they are proud of being a scoundrel." ”

"Later, when I learned that he was also an educated youth in Beijing, I was a little curious, wondering how this person became like this when he arrived in northern Shaanxi?" Qin Ling recalled with his eyes open in the dark.
