Old Man Xiao is also the boss who is most worried now, and when he heard this, he sighed: "His heart is not here, no matter how hard he presses, it is useless." ”

The boss is not the material to be an official. He had seen this a long time ago. I used to think that there was a second child in the army, and no matter how bad the boss was, he could always try to climb to the position of chief of staff.

Now that I think about it, the boss's personality and temper are really not suitable for that environment, so it's better to let him go. The son can't help his mother, not to mention that their mother died early, and his father is also old, so he can't care so much.

But after all, Old Man Xiao still sent a message to the boss who couldn't make it: "Since you are ready to retreat, don't drag the mud and water." It was done a year ago, packed up the baggage, rolled to Ning He to accompany Lao Tzu, and was so idle that it was good to help the troops build roads and bridges, and carry sandbags. ”

Xia Lao went with a message.

As soon as the person left, Old Man Xiao's eyes widened, and he pointed at Xiao Sanye and scolded: "You three brothers, except for the second brother, you and the boss don't have any worries." ”

Xiao Sanye was not convinced: "Old man, I must speak according to my conscience, where do I not worry about it and don't stop? In that situation, if I continued to stay in the army and caused any loss to the country, it would be unworrying." ”

"Okay, what are you talking to Dad!" Jiang Xinrou pulled her husband, "Go, there is not much firewood in the firewood room, take advantage of the good weather to cut some back." The cowshed next door should also be covered with hay. It's getting colder and colder, and maybe it's going to snow. ”

"I'll go with my dad. Xiang Gang said, and went to the firewood room to get a firewood knife and hemp rope.

Xiao Sanye stretched his waist and said in a sneering voice: "It's still a son-in-law's intimacy." ”

The old man raised his foot and kicked him: "Get out of the way!

“……”

Xiao Sanye took his son-in-law up the mountain to chop wood, and mentioned the beautiful valley by the way.

"Didn't I tell you, that valley is beautiful, but it's too troublesome to get in and out, I'm not fat, and I have to suck my stomach and squeeze into the cliff crevice. In this case, it is empty to try to do something. Patches of nan forests can't be lifted out after being cut down. Hundreds of years old peach trees, old mulberry trees, fruit can only be eaten in it, if you want to bring a few out, you have to see if the cliff crack allows. Tsk!"

Xiang Gang thought more clearly: "If it was easy to enter and exit, it would not be a small world of its own and so well preserved." ”

"That's right. Xiao Sanye smiled heartily, "Nature is wonderful, and I am luckier than most people to encounter such a beautiful scenery in my lifetime, how can I still want to make a profit from it." Sins, sins, sins!"

Weng and his son-in-law talked and laughed all the way, and went to Xiaopolin to pick up two loads of firewood.

Along the way, I met a male intellectual, who was also going to collect firewood, and looked enviously at the two Weng and son-in-law who were walking away:

"These two people are really angry, so big two loads of firewood, I'm afraid I can't pick them up if I give them to me. ”

"People are used to farm work, how can they be like us, alas...... When will I go home, I'm going crazy if I stay here......"

"Hey, you look at the old one, it looks so familiar...... I remembered, wasn't that Jiang Chunmei's uncle? The young man called his father, could it be his cousin-in-law who was an officer in the army?"

"Sister Chun is so lucky, she can meet relatives when she jumps in a line. ”

"Still such a capable relative!"

In the end, he is still half an adult child, and he has no scruples about speaking when he is familiar with it.

"Then again, I don't know what happened to Chunmei on the mountain, I haven't seen her come down for so long. ”

"You care about her so much, you can't take a fancy to her, do you?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Chunmei is a good girl, I ...... I treat her like a sister. ”

"Cut—"

The conversation faded away.

Xiao Li carried a basket and stood on the mountain road thoughtfully.

After a while, he raised his eyebrows and continued to walk up the mountain.

In these days when Chunmei was on the mountain, her main task was to open up the wasteland.

After half a year of reclamation, near the wild millet field, she opened three acres of oily fertile land with a hoe and planted a crop of winter wheat before winter.

After planting winter wheat, the spring sister who can't be idle continues to open up the wasteland. The millet land is a little far away from the sunflower forest, and she set a goal for herself, and during the punishment period, the wasteland opened up strives to connect the millet land with the sunflower forest.

At that time, this land will be all fertile land. Because of the high and low terrain, it looks like a terraced rice field layer by layer, not to mention how spectacular it looks.

Chun Mei reverie while hoeing the ground. I don't know if I was happy or blown by the cold wind, the immature goose egg blushed and fluttered, and Jiang Xinrou said that this is called "blessing".

Xiao Li walked from afar and saw a slender goose-faced girl, wearing an old coarse cloth jacket specially prepared for going to the ground, with a white-washed blue-gray headscarf tied on her head, a hand towel tied around her waist to wipe her sweat, and a hoe to open the wasteland.

When I got closer, I could hear her humming "Nanniwan": "...... In the past, Nanniwan was full of barren mountains and no people, but today's Nanniwan is not ordinary and ...... the same as in previous years."

Xu is hoeing for a while, his breath is not very stable, but his spirit is quite strong.

Xiao Li listened quietly for a while, until the little girl sang the whole song "Nanniwan" to herself.

I thought she would take a break, after all, she was doing manual work on her hands. Unexpectedly, the black braids were flicked, and then sang "Walking Barefoot on the Ridge": "On the small village road at dusk, a small piece of residual sun is sprinkled on the ground, and the straw is also draped in a soft golden shirt, there are frogs chirping melodiously in the distance, the branches are cicadas singing, and the cooking smoke is also curling with the evening breeze, walking barefoot on the narrow ridges......"

The climax is out of tune just as it begins.

Xiao Li chuckled.

He walked over and asked, "I'm here to return the basket, what do I have to pick back to the village?"

"Scared!"

Chunmei was so frightened that her soul was gone, and the hoe in her hand flew out.

When I turned around and saw that it was Xiao Li, my frightened little face improved, and I patted my chest, and in my frightened voice, there was a little bit of anger that she didn't even notice herself: "Brother Xiao Li, it turned out to be you! Why is there no sound at all when you walk?"

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "You were too involved in singing, so I didn't hear it." ”

Sure enough, the little girl's face turned crimson.

Xiao Li sighed in his heart, he always felt that he was bullying others.

Simply don't ask, roll up your trouser legs, pick up the hoe that fell on the ridge, and easily open the wasteland.

"What are you doing there? Take the basket back to the village. I'll bring you a hoe in a moment. ”

"That's embarrassing. Chun Mei reacted, felt that it was inappropriate, and shook her head busily.

"Your aunt asked me to help, and said that you have worked hard these days and need to rest well, otherwise your resistance will be poor and you will be easy to get sick, and the task will not be completed. Xiao Li lied seriously.

Jiang Xinrou, who was teasing the triplets far away at the bottom of the mountain, felt that her ears were itchy for a while, and she picked out the ear holes: "Surely one is talking bad about me behind my back." ”
