032. Don't speak up if you want to die

Tang Ailian knew that if the old lady found out that she was in the stove room, maybe the person who stole the oil and drank it would be herself, so she didn't want to carry the black pot, so when she heard the voice of the old lady coming back, she immediately ran out of the house from the front door and went to the little daddy's house next door to play. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The old lady entered the stove house, and after a while, Mrs. Tang's scolding came from the stove room: "Which one who has been cut a thousand knives has come to steal my family's oil-"

Finally it was okay, she just howled a few words, and then thought of a drop of oil on the button on her second son's chest, and thought to herself: It can't be this short-lived ghost who drank his own oil, right?

So, she immediately turned from the theft of oil at home to her worry about her second son's stomach: the can of oil is at least more than a pound, and if he drinks it up, will he have a stomach.

The more than one pound of lard is a month's worth of oil for the family. So, this month, Tang Ailian's family can only eat fast.

Tang Erlong was the first to protest: "Why is this dish so unpalatable." ”

Mrs. Tang glared at him hatefully: "I don't know who stole the oil at home, and it is naturally not delicious without oil." Tang Erlong thought in his heart, could it be that the old lady knew about stealing oil and eating?

Everyone's faces are not good-looking, there is no meat to eat, and now they don't even have to eat oil, and this day is getting sadder and sadter.

It wasn't until the next month that Tang Dalong sent the money, and Mrs. Tang hurriedly went to buy fat oil to refine oil, so that everyone could live a life with oil to eat.

The day after refining the oil, Tang Ailian found that Tang Erlong went home halfway to steal oil to drink, but this time, he rummaged in the stove room for a long time, but found nothing - the old lady also locked up the oil.

The drought is getting worse and worse, not to mention the ditches, and even most of the small rivers have dried up, leaving only the big rivers with water - the drought has escalated.

The small river near Longtou Village also dried up quickly, and only the big river two miles away from the village was left with water.

Although sweet potatoes are drought tolerant, they also need water, so Long Jiusheng led everyone to go all out to carry water and pour sweet potatoes into the rice field.

After all, sweet potatoes are not as good as rice, and a load of water in the rice field is poured down, and it is not even a corner wet, but when it is poured on the sweet potato ground, it can ensure that a piece of sweet potatoes will not be killed by drought. But it's just that you can't die.

A few days later, Captain Long Jiusheng made a quick decision to abandon the rice and protect the sweet potatoes. As a result, the rice, which occupies one-third of the paddy fields, was abandoned to ensure the survival of the sweet potatoes in the other two-thirds. In this way, the sweet potatoes that were drenched with all their strength not only did not die, but also rejuvenated.

Liu Xiujuan picked up water in the public field for a day, and got two points of her own land to water the sweet potatoes after work, but Tang Erlong, who only watched the cattle every day, was tired and panicked under the pretext of watching the cows, so he didn't want to carry water. At this time, my mother-in-law used the excuse that it was Liu Xiujuan who wanted to plant the sweet potatoes at the beginning, and she had to take care of them herself. After Liu Xiujuan gets off work every day, she drenches the sweet potatoes on her own land for two points alone, and often arrives home when it is dark.

Fortunately, Tang Ailian's family's self-reserved land is not far from the big river, and Liu Xiujuan can barely finish drenching. It's just that when I get home, I'm as tired as a dog, and I don't want to move.

At this time, Tang Ailian took the initiative to pour a bowl of water and held it to her mother: "Mom is tired, mom drink water." ”

Mrs. Tang was so worried every time: "Oh, Ah Lian, be careful, don't break the bowl." I got three cents a piece. She glared at her daughter-in-law, blaming her for pretending to let such a little man pour water for her to drink.

Liu Xiujuan seems to be unable to see her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction every time, and when she sees her daughter pouring water for herself, she always looks flattered: "It's still my Ah Lian who feels sorry for my mother, thank you Ah Lian." ”

She felt that the water her daughter poured for herself was particularly delicious. Moreover, every time I drink water, although I am not hungry, I feel that the fatigue of the day has been swept away, and I am very energetic.

However, she still felt sorry for her daughter: "The water poured by my girl is very delicious." But next time, will you let Mom do it herself?"

Tang Ailianxin said, this is medicine well water, how can it not be delicious. Can you pour the medicine well water yourself?" She raised her head and showed a sweet smile: "Mom has worked hard, Ah Lian helps Mom." She had now spoken one sentence in a row. In fact, she wanted to dig out the ginseng in the space and chew it for her mother, but she didn't dare. I can only eat it secretly.

In the later stage of drought fighting, the water demand is getting bigger and bigger, but there are only so many buckets, so the production team simply organizes everyone to take turns to carry water, and does not go home until dark.

Long Jiusheng had already placed the hopes of the whole village on these sweet potato oaks.

The members of the club ate wild vegetable rice porridge and did high-intensity work, and they all lost a lot of weight. However, seeing that the seedlings in the fields of other production teams have dried up, while the sweet potatoes in their own teams are still full of vitality, everyone is very tired.

Relying on Tang Ailian's continuous supply of spiritual water, Liu Xiujuan insisted on staying up despite the continuous rotation day and night.

Fortunately, because their family is a glorious military family, the firewood and thatch burned are always sent to the door by students who support the army, otherwise, she will be tired at home.

On this day, Liu Xiujuan finished the work of the production team and went to pour her own land, because the production team finished work late today, after Xiujuan finished drenching the sweet potatoes in her own land, it was already completely dark, and with the moonlight of only one line in the sky, Liu Xiujuan rushed home with an empty bucket.

Liu Xiujuan really didn't have the strength anymore, walking with one foot high and one foot low, thinking that Ah Lian should pour water for herself again, although she repeatedly told her daughter not to pour water for herself, but every time she went home, Ah Lian must pour water for herself to drink, even Ah Shi and Ah Wen wanted to replace it, and let her have to drink it all, so that when she was extremely tired, she always felt warm and soft in her heart.

The self-reserved land is close to the river, but far from home, not far from the village in front, and next to it is the sweet potato field of the production team. At this time, there should be no one left.

However, in the misty moonlight, Liu Xiujuan found that there were people in the field who were doing something with cats on their waists.

Could it be that someone is stealing sweet potatoes?

"Who's there?" Liu Xiujuan shouted.

The people in the field immediately stood up, looked at it in panic, and found that there was only one woman, Liu Xiujuan, who was immediately not afraid, and shouted viciously: "Don't make a noise if you want to die." ”

As he spoke, the man bent down again, digging for something with a short hoe - it was evident that the man was stealing sweet potatoes, and there were already piles of sweet potatoes at his feet, each the size of a baby's fist.

Sure that he was a thief who stole sweet potatoes, and he actually dared to threaten himself, Liu Xiujuan was angry and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? That sweet potato hasn't grown up at all, how much can you get when you dig it out at this time?"

But what she didn't expect was that she was screaming here, ignoring it at all, still digging sweet potatoes, she wanted to stop it, she just put down the bucket, took the flat pole to do it, but suddenly suffered a moment.

As soon as her eyes went dark, she fell. Before she fell into a coma, she was still thinking that she should tell Jiusheng that the sweet potato should be guarded.

At Ailian's house, Ai Shi is doing her homework under the lamp, and Aiwen is sent by Mrs. Tang to go to the pigsty to burn smoke and catch mosquitoes.
