In the field, Ma Lao Er was taking steps to divide the labor of the women who arrived first, and seeing Ma Lingniang and a few of them slowly swaying to the ground, he looked up at a few of them and said: "In the future, the pace of work will be tighter, so that it will take off slowly, and I am afraid of stepping on the ants." ”

Several women looked at each other, but no one spoke, so they stood on the ground one by one and waited for Ma Lao Er to divide the labor for them.

"Today, one person and one square (foot) of land, you should rake it deeper, and don't hug the thin layer like an old hen scratching her food. At the same time as Ma Lao Er divided the work for these women, he asked these women to say, "Some people are unconscious, and they don't say anything about the small nail rake, and the ground is as if they are hanging themselves in a hurry, that is, a thin layer of soil on it, and there is no deep eyelids, so what good crops can be grown? If there is no food growing in the field, what will you get?"

The women whispered something to Ma Lao's words.

Seeing that they didn't pay attention to his words at all, Ma Lao Er raised his head and glared at them, saying, "What are you muttering!"

"Muttering about women's affairs, you also take care of this? If you care about this, let's tell you loudly?" Seeing Ma Lao Er staring at the women, she covered her mouth and smiled, "She said that she has been in trouble for the past two days, and she is lazy and has no energy to pick up the ground." Why don't you block her and don't let her do anything?"

Ma Lao Er gave the broken scoop mouth a red face and thick neck, the broken scoop mouth was joking, and he was not angry, so he had to look at the broken scoop mouth and say: "You don't have a serious word in your mouth all day long." ”

Seeing that Ma Lao Er was blushing and had a thick neck, he couldn't do anything about himself, so he turned his head and glanced at the toothless woman again, holding the nail palladium on the ground in his hand with one hand, and pulling and swinging a few times towards the toothless woman with the other hand, and said: "Look, our captain is like a young man who hasn't opened the scoop, and he still blushes and has a thick neck when talking about women." ”

The toothless woman also covered her mouth and bent down to laugh for a while, saying, "Captain Ma is honest, and he doesn't light the lamp when he sleeps at night." ”

"Honest, honest, why did Ma Hua that kid come here? The captain is pretending to be honest, and after going back at night, I don't know how to be dishonest!"

"You're not done, are you!" Ma Lao Er saw that Po Scoop was talking more and more unconventional, and he stared at Po Scoop with a straight face, and shouted a few words at Po Scoop, "Why don't you have the energy to do things? ”

Seeing that Ma Lao Er was angry, she immediately blushed and closed her broken mouth, which could foam when she was talking nonsense.

Ma Lao Er divided the work among these women, then looked at these women, and said, "When you are working, don't talk about the words in the dustpan of your shoes, and if your mouth is itchy, rub it on the nail rake." ”

The women knew who Ma Lao Er's words were for, and they didn't take it, but everyone looked at each other.

"Today's task for the day is one hectare of land per person, and by the end of the evening, we have to pick up the head. Ma Lao Er looked at the women who had already stood away, and emphasized to these women, "In a few days, it will be the Guyu solar term, and you can't miss the season!"

The women all bowed their heads and began to work, but some lowered their heads and pouted their lips first, and then raised the nail rake in their hands weakly, and picked up the ground like a toad on the road.

Ma Lao Er saw that the women were all digging the ground, so he circled around the women, and then went to arrange the work of the male laborers.

When the women saw Ma Lao Er leaving, they immediately started chattering.

"It would be nice if this second sister-in-law Chen was confined every day, and Captain Ma couldn't stare at us every day behind our butts and look at us. Chen's second sister-in-law can't watch it during confinement, and no one nagged us when we were working hard and slowly. The toothless woman raked a few nails, looked up and looked around, and after affirming that Ma Lao Er had gone far, she opened her mouth and yawned, and said lazily.

"Why are you still yawning? didn't you sleep well at night?" a woman next to her yawned at the toothless woman and asked the toothless woman with a sly smile.

When the toothless woman saw the sly smile on this woman's face, she knew that there was something in this, so she said to the woman, "I can be like you, I can't sleep well every night." Look, what has you been tossing your man into. ”

The woman simply stopped the nail rake in her hand, put the nail rake on the ground, put her hands on the head of the nail rake, put her chin on her hands, looked at the toothless woman, and said with her head moving: "I'm afraid you have tossed too much, and you don't have the strength to toss now." ”

Her teeth were tossed. The broken scoop next to him straightened up and grinned at the toothless woman.

"You're tossing like a scoop. The toothless woman saw that the broken lady was helping other women tease her, and immediately teased the broken lady, "The top is tossed into a broken scoop, and the bottom is tossed into a broken scoop B." ”

I didn't expect that the toothless woman would come at him all of a sudden, and immediately looked at the toothless woman excitedly, and pouted nonsense about the missing front tooth of the open-toothed woman.

After some nonsense, she felt that she had suffered a lot, so she stared at the broken mouth, and the nail rake in her hand shook it to the ground, and she muttered and got angry.

"Annoyed?" Broken Mouth asked with a smile when he saw the toothless woman like this.

"Who's annoyed!" Seeing that Broken Mouth was not as angry as herself, the toothless woman immediately let go of her tense face and smiled again at Broken Mouth.

"Have a happy bickering, where can you go to the heart. At first, the woman who teased and said that the toothless woman didn't sleep well at night, hurriedly explained.

"She can't open her teeth, how can she go to her heart when she fights and tells a joke. Broken Mouth looked at the Toothless Woman and said with a smile at the woman's words, then bent down and picked up the Toothless Woman's nail rake from the ground and handed it to the Toothless Woman's hand.

The toothless woman took the nail rake from the broken mouth, rolled her eyes at the broken mouth, and muttered: "Your broken mouth is like a bottomless dung tank, you can pour out anything." ”

"What's wrong? He looked at the toothless woman and bent down with a smile, saying, "If you were in the cattle herd, I would be able to speak as if you were standing in front of people without clothes." ”

"Alright, let's get to work. The woman who provoked the conversation at first saw that the toothless woman was no longer angry, so she persuaded her, "Later, Captain Ma will come and see that we are idle like this, and there will be something to say." ”

After the toothless woman took the nail rake from the broken scoop mouth, she slapped one hand on her body as if to slap the dust, and then raised the nail rake in her hand in response to the persuasion of others.

Broken Scoop looked at the toothless woman beside her, her mouth pouting as long as a donkey, and muttered, "This man is really, he doesn't tell jokes without bickering." ”

"Your joke is like stripping people naked in front of everyone. If someone fights with you like this, you won't throw yourself into the river and jump into the well!" The woman who was picky at first smiled and puffed out her mouth, "Those who know know that your mouth is not covered, and those who don't know think that your mouth is damaged." ”

"My mouth is like this, sometimes I don't know what I say. "I open my mouth without thinking, so it often makes people feel uncomfortable." I don't want to say that much, but I can't control my mouth. ”

"People also know that you don't have any bad intentions when you speak, but sometimes what you say makes people embarrassed. ”

The two women, you and I were talking lively, but I didn't care that Ma Lao Er had already assigned the work to the male laborers, and came to see them women working.

"Broken Scoop Mouth, what are you doing there again? Beware of the nail rake, don't pick your own foot face!" Ma Lao Er shouted behind Broken Scoop Mouth.

Ma Lao Er suddenly shouted stunned behind him, and the nail rake held in the air was soft and fixed there for a moment, and then he woke up and hurriedly pulled the nail rake in his hand to the ground in front of him. The hastily nailed rake threw the nail rake head and the handle into a separate home, and the nail rake head turned two heels in front of her, and fell less than two inches from her front feet. If she had used a little less energy, this nail rake would really answer Ma Laoer's shout and pick up her own feet. She was excited, and the back of the ditch slipped out of a cold sweat, and she unconsciously shouted in her heart, staring at the nail rake on the ground and not daring to blink, and the nail rake in her hand was raised in front of her and didn't know how to put it down.

"Your urinal, too, is a shell, fly with the night bat. Ma Lao Er looked at the woman who had provoked the conversation just now and scolded, "Her nail rake with a broken mouth can almost reach the face of her feet, and if you follow her, you can pick up the nail rake in your hand to the back of the back." ”

The nail rake raised by the woman who called Ma Lao Er a urinal girl really softened in mid-air, and fell behind her with a plop, but fortunately, the nail rake teeth were facing outward and did not hurt her heels.

"Look, look, this is what you are doing! Nail the rake and the rake and use it to deal with it, if the nail rake is tightly installed, can you shake your head like that? If the urinal girl is really hard, can the nail rake fall behind her?" Ma Lao Er made these women stop the nail rake in their hands, walked in front of them and looked at them back and forth, and then pointed to the broken scoop mouth and the urinal girl and said to the women, "With this kind of dry method, can this land be pulled deeply, can it be pulled thoroughly, can it grow good crops?"

The women looked at each other, then bowed their heads and stopped talking.

"When I work, I don't make any efforts, and when I distribute the grain, I complain that there is less food, and there is no food growing in the field, so what do I get?" Ma Lao Er looked at these women again, "You should also know that since I took over the task of being the leader of the production team, I have to train the cadres of the brigade three or five times a year, and criticize the cadres of the commune by name three or two times at the commune cadre meeting. The reason is that I am not active in handing over public grain, saying that I have not grasped the production in the production team, and our village will always fail to complete the task of purchasing public grain. Don't I just want to report less production so that I can keep more grain for the old and young masters? Do you ladies know that working doesn't look like work, and more grain can grow in the dry fields like this?"

The women lowered their heads and peeked at each other.

"I didn't have any grievances when I was disciplined and criticized, as long as the old and young masters could eat an extra bite of food. But see for yourself, like words?" Ma Lao Er was very angry, "On weekdays, Chen's second sister-in-law works with you, and when she says a word to you, you are still angry!

The broken scoop quietly picked up the nail rake head on the ground, and put the nail rake in his hand into the nail rake pants, and the urinal girl silently dragged the nail rake that fell behind her in front of her.

Ma Lao Er didn't say anything around the women, and after he looked back and forth a few times, he left without a word.

After Ma Lao Er left, he found a half-cut brick in the ground, withdrew the handle that was placed in the nail rake pants, untied the trouser belt, and tore off a strip of cloth along the trouser belt, after the pants braked, wrapped the torn cloth strip in front of the nail rake, and re-inserted it into the nail rake pants, and then grabbed the nail rake pants and hit the half brick back and forth dozens of times, and kept talking to himself: "It's time to be tight!"

"If you soak it any further, it will be tighter!" said the toothless woman as she slammed her mouth into the nail rake, covering her mouth with a missing front tooth.

"Go, go, go, I want you to take off your pants!" said the woman with a broken scoop and rolled her eyes.

"What's the matter? don't you quarrel with me?" The toothless woman rolled her eyes at herself when she saw the broken scoop mouth, and the two eyebrows wrinkled suddenly, and asked a little incomprehensibly.

"Work!" replied to the toothless woman with a broken mouth.
