Lao Liu has a bicycle and took Xiaowei into the city in a leisurely manner, but in fact, it is only a few kilometers away.

When he arrived at the door of the Public Security Bureau, Xiaowei jumped off the back seat of his bicycle, and he was embarrassed to let Lao Liu send him. "Master, you ride slowly. Xiaowei stood there and shouted at Lao Liu, but Lao Liu didn't look back and waved his hand.

Walked back to Stationmaster Wang's house along the road, went upstairs, the door was open, and walked in directly.

Aunt Wang was sitting on a stool cleaning up the dishes, when she heard the voice and looked up: "Xiaowei is back, how is it today?"

Xiaowei smiled and said, "It's okay, the master taught me to push a wheelbarrow and practiced for an afternoon." ”

Aunt Wang said: "Okay, work hard, learn some skills, don't be afraid of hardship." Go wash and lie down for a while, and I'll call you for dinner. ”

Xiaowei agreed, went to the kitchen to wash his face, and walked into the room that was specially cleaned up for him, and the bedding was all new. He stood on the edge of the bed and looked at the quilt, then looked at himself, tangled for a while, turned out and walked out, and said to Aunt Wang, "Auntie, shall I go to the river to wash and wash?"

Aunt Wang looked up at him, smiled, and said, "What's the matter? Do you think you are buried yourself? Go to the kitchen and close the door to wash, there is a lot of water in the river." Wait a minute, I'll find you some clothes, you can't wear this one. ”

got up and went into the house, and after a while, he took Uncle Wang's vest and pants out and handed them to Xiaowei, saying, "Let's wear your uncle's first, and Ming'er will go to the street to buy you a few." Xiaowei took the clothes and said, "That's it, you don't need to buy a new one, I'll work there, and it'll be over in a few days, and I'll be blind." Auntie, you can buy it for my uncle, I will wear the old one, and it is better to have the kind of anti-wear one. ”

Aunt Wang nodded, sat down and picked vegetables, and said, "Okay, you usually wear old clothes to work, and then buy new clothes when you have a holiday." Your uncle doesn't need to buy it, their unit will issue work clothes. By the way, I'll find you one, one of his overalls is canvas, that one is wear-resistant, but it's a little thick, isn't it hot to wear on this day?"

Xiaowei took the clothes into the kitchen, closed the door and plugged it in, took off the clothes on his body and threw them into the basin, turned on the faucet, and washed it with cold water with soap.

At that time in the Northeast, it was quite inconvenient for the common people to take a bath, the baths were fixed at regular intervals, and they couldn't be washed if they missed it, but it was okay to wash it with a little water, and it was really not possible to deal with it in the river, and it was over in winter, except for the bath, it was okay in the city, and the whole bath went to the countryside, and it was only possible to boil some water to wash the key parts.

The old man took a bath quickly, more than ten minutes, a brand new Xiaowei appeared, put on clean clothes, opened the kitchen door, and turned around to wash and change the body, Aunt Wang scolded with a smile: "Okay, what kind of calf to pretend, will you wash it? Put it there, come and help me pick vegetables, and let Xiaohong wash it for you after eating." By the way, the overalls, don't you think it's a bit thick. ”

Xiaowei picked up the work clothes in the past and looked, the dark blue canvas is a little thick, but this thing is wearable, many workers on the construction site wear it, put it on before work, and take it off before resting.

"Okay, I'll wear this tomorrow. Xiaowei said to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang said, "Okay, I'll change it for you that night, why don't you grow up?" Eat one more bowl per meal from now on. "Xiao Wei looks like a mother, he is not tall, less than 1.7 meters at 16 or 7, and he is very thin.

Xiaowei didn't dare to fight back, so he smiled, dragged a small bench over and sat down, reached out to get the vegetables, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Aunt Wang asked: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Xiaowei was a little embarrassed and said, "I picked up the bricks and grinded them this afternoon, it's okay, tomorrow will be fine, it's like this at the beginning." ”

Aunt Wang took Xiaowei's hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "What kind of thing is this, this is all swollen, does it hurt? It must hurt, why is this done? Go to the hospital and take a look, let's go." He stood up as he spoke.

Xiaowei hurriedly grabbed Aunt Wang and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it's really fine, it's just a little painful, it's like this on the first day, it's good to get used to it, really." My master said that you can just wash it with salt water, I won't lie to you, and tomorrow my master said to get me a pair of gloves and put them on. ”

Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Really? Then go get salt water to wash." I'll get it. ”

Xiaowei pulled Aunt Wang and said, "I got it, I washed it just now, oh you don't have to worry about it, let's get some food, my Uncle Wang and Xiaohong will be back in a while." ”

Aunt Wang looked a little uneasy, looked at Xiaowei's hand and said, "Your uncle won't come back to eat, go to drink a lot of wine, Xiaohong will study on her own at night, not so early." I really don't need to go and see it? Doesn't it hurt? Otherwise, we won't do this job, this is a lot of sin, and tomorrow let your uncle find another job. ”

Xiaowei shook his head and said: "It's okay aunt, it's not a grinding bubble at the beginning of farming, it's good to get used to it, I'm not the first day, it's fine in the future, today my master taught me some secrets." ”

Aunt Wang looked at Xiaowei's hand, sighed, said no more, and sat down to pick vegetables.

In fact, Xiaowei's two hands are almost unconscious from pain at this time, they are already swollen, the oily skin is broken, and he takes a bath and soaks in salt water, why do people always say that they sprinkle salt on the wound?

However, rural children have been used to beating since they were children, and their ability to bear it is very strong, and besides, they can't shout pain in front of Aunt Wang, one is afraid that she will be worried, and the other one, a young man of sixteen or seventeen, can't let go of his face.

Endure the stinging pain in his heart, Xiaowei picked the vegetable leaves one by one, fortunately it was celery, if it was kidney beans or potatoes, he couldn't get it even if he gritted his teeth, his hands were shaking with pain, and he didn't listen to the call.

"Brother Devil, how is work today?" Xiaohong jumped into the house with her schoolbag on her back, patted Xiaowei from behind and asked.

Xiao Wei didn't reply: "It's okay, I followed the master, I'm practicing, and I haven't started working yet." ”

Xiaohong put the schoolbag on the table casually, walked to the two people, squatted down and reached out for the food, and asked, "What are you practicing?"

Xiaowei said: "Pushing a wheelbarrow, that trick is not easy to fiddle with, disobedient, I made it all afternoon, only to stumble and push a few laps." ”

Xiaohong said, "What is a wheelbarrow? Why don't you get a two-wheeled one? ”

Xiaowei said, "It's okay. I wanted to pull my hand back, but Xiaohong grabbed it, picked up Xiaowei's hand and looked at it one by one, and said, "What's wrong with this? Why is it swollen like this? Isn't it painful? Then what kind of vegetables are you picking, Mom, don't you see his hands swollen like this? and ask him to work." ”

Aunt Wang glanced at her daughter and said, "Don't I tell him to do him?" ”
