Chapter Seventy-Three: Fetching Water

"Bang Bang Bang ······"

"Whoever disturbs people's dreams so early in the morning, don't shoot, the door is going to break!" Zhao Dayong, who was closer to the door, had no choice but to put on a padded jacket and pull his shoes to open the door.

Three female intellectuals stood outside the door, and Wang Hong ran in first: "It's all sunburning, why are you still lying down, hurry up!"

The male intellectuals on a kang were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly wrapped themselves in the quilt.

Zheng Tong finally touched his eyes and scolded: "Zhao Dayong, you don't know how to stop it, I slept naked!"

"I was so confused that I didn't know they were breaking in. Zhao Dayong also climbed onto the kang at this time, wrapped in a quilt, and it was too cold to wear a pair of autumn pants.

When Wang Hong heard this, his face flushed and he retreated out of the door.

Jiang Biyun stood at the door: "Zheng Tong, why are you such a hooligan!"

"Why am I a hooligan, I didn't take off my pants on the street, even if I strip naked in my own home, even if I am seen by you, then you are playing hooligan!" Zheng Tong Zhenzhen said.

"Phew!" Wang Hong chirped, "Who wants to see you stripped naked, shameless!"

Zhong Yuemin also got up and said with a smile: "Zheng Tong, your attitude is not right, the female classmates of the people worked hard to call us to get up early in the morning, you can't have this attitude, you should be flattered, get up happily, hurry up and ask the masters what they need, right?"

"Yuemin, you can lose it, I'm not a eunuch, what can I ask for?" Zheng Tong also smiled.

"Don't be poor two of you!" Zhang Guangzhi scratched his hair and shouted: "On a snowy day, the peasant uncle doesn't work, why do you tell us to get up?"

"It's almost noon, aren't you hungry! There's no water in the tank, and there's not much firewood, so you can't let us girls do it, right?" Wang Hong said with a white mist.

"Ah, I'm hungry for that. "Zhao Dayong is a big-bellied man, he ate a lot last night, and now he is starting to cry hungry again.

Zhong Yuemin shouted: "The girls are rightly criticized, how can they lie down to do these rough jobs, you should hurry up, you should carry water and water, you should chop firewood." ”

"Then what are you doing?" Zheng Tong asked.

"I'll sleep a little longer, and when you're done, I'll fry the potatoes for you." Zhong Yuemin said and lay down again.

"Hey, there's another one who is so cheating, brothers, what do you say?" Zheng Tong shouted.

Cao Gang said happily: "Lift the quilt and fork it out!"

"I'll come too!" Qian Zhimin echoed.

"And me! and me!" Guo Jie also came out of the quilt, ready to step over from the kang and lift Zhong Yuemin's quilt.

"Ah~" The female intellectuals at the door exclaimed, it turned out that Guo Jie was wearing pants, and he forgot about it.

Guo Jie hurriedly got back into the quilt to cover her big white legs.

"Hahahaha······" Several others laughed.

The only well in the village was in the middle of the village, and Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong were finally assigned to this glorious task.

The two of them carried buckets and shoulders, and they were careful all the way, and finally arrived at the well.

"It's too slippery on this road, I almost fell on my head just now, what should I do when I carry the water back?" Zheng Tong asked.

"I haven't done it either, I'll see what the fellow does later, let's learn from it." ”

The well is still quite lively, many villagers are fetching water from the well, and the well is still steaming.

"The educated youths in the city are also coming to fetch water, come on, you go first!" A fellow who was fetching water saw them coming, so he let them go first.

"Hey, thank you, fellow!" Zheng Tong hurriedly took the poke and put it on the edge of the well platform.

On the platform of the well is a wooden wheel, on which is a dozen meters of thick rope is wrapped, and a wooden barrel is tied at one end.

Zheng Tong shook his wheel, put the bucket down, and Zhong Yuemin held the flat shoulder and chatted with others.

"Fellow, what do you do in northern Shaanxi in winter?"

The fellow who had just given them his seat said: "What are you doing? What are you not doing, what can you do in this winter! ”

A big aunt next to her smiled and said, "Dog baby, why don't you forget, don't you work at home every day?"

"What are you doing at home?" said the man who was called the dog baby.

"If you don't work, can your spring flowers give birth to seven cubs?" the eldest aunt laughed.

The villagers who were fetching water by the well all burst into laughter, and Zhong Yuemin reacted that the eldest aunt was an old driver.

The dog baby was embarrassed by the laughter, and retorted: "In this winter, I am reluctant to light the lamp at night, why don't you do that." ”

The crowd laughed even more.

Chang Gui, the village party secretary, wore a coat and smoked a cigarette bag, and walked out of the village committee.

"Dog, you donkey day, I've been looking for you for a long time, go to bed early at night in the future, don't do that with your mother-in-law again!" Chang Gui reprimanded.

"How can you sleep!"

"You donkey day, your mother-in-law and aunt have already given birth to seven, and it is not easy to stop and regenerate, what do you feed on?"

The dog baby didn't dare to squeak when he was scolded, Chang Gui has been the branch secretary in the village for 20 years, so he naturally has a majesty.

Chang Gui saw Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong coming to fetch water, and greeted: "What's the matter, are you still used to it?"

"Habit, habit. Zhong Yuemin replied.

"It's good to get used to it, the village is not as good as the city, you educated youth dolls are afraid that you will be wronged. ”

"Don't be afraid, not afraid. That is, what kind of work are we going to do in the village in winter?"

"Good baby, I want to work as soon as I come. Chang Gui exclaimed: "They are all croppers, and they can rest in winter all year round, and they will go to the ground when spring begins." You can rest first, get used to it. ”

"But we don't have enough food to eat and harvest wheat?

Chang Gui didn't expect Zhong Yuemin to ask him here, and took a puff of cigarette, "There is so much land in our village, in the past ten years, there is not much food, but the population has doubled, and the food is not enough to eat, so I have to go out to beg for food every year." ”

Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile: "Can the leaders of the Educated Youth Office tell me that the rations of the educated youth are all distributed in full, why do I think more than half of them are missing?"

"How do you know?" Chang Gui was stunned.

"You don't care how I know, what about the rest of the food?"

Chang Gui looked at the others and whispered, "Baby, you come to the house with me." ”

"I'm going to carry water!"

"What's the need for you to carry water. Chang Gui took a look casually, "Dog baby, you donkey, wait until you help the educated youth pick up the water and fill the water tank." ”

"Why?" said the dog, squatting on the ground.

"You donkey day, let you work and dare to talk back, when do you owe so much food to the village?" Chang Gui ran up and kicked the dog.

The dog baby was kicked and almost fell, so without saying a word, he went to help Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong was liberated now, he put down all the ropes on the wheel, but the bucket couldn't sink into the water, just floating on the water.

"City baby, why can't you even beat water!" The dog baby dragged the rope, and when she didn't see any strength, the bucket obediently soaked into the water.

The dog baby shook the wheel with one hand, and the water was brought up in three or two clicks, and Zheng Tong was stupid.
